There is something magical about fall. 
I had to make these fall fairy costumes for my girls. I had fun taking pictures of my fall fairies. This costume is easy, beautiful and wonderful for pictures. You can read a little more about the photo shoot here. Get the instruction on how to make the costume below.
T-shirt
For the fairy costume I took plain t-shirts and ironed on a cute design that is based on my Welcome Fall Collection. You can grab that free iron on here.
Skirts
I made the tulle skirts the easy way – just tie to a ribbon. Tip: sew ribbon end to elastic to make the skirt more comfortable to wear.
Wings
The wings I got bought for a whopping buck at the dollar store!
Hair
For my little girls hair I glued some fake leaves together and added a clip to the bottom. For my other little girls hair I used a simple fall piece that is designed to a be a candle wrap as a crown.
Wands:
For the fairy wands I had a lot of fun. Here’s how I made them:
You will need
tulle,
ribbon
wooden dowel
small pumpkin
paint
glue gun
drill
Step1
Paint the dowel to make it the color you want
Step 2
Drill a hole the bottom of the pumpkin large enough for the dowel (because the pumpkin was on the heavy side I made sure it was at least half way into the pumpkin).
Step 3
For some sparkle I glued some branches around the pumpkin
Step 4
I added tulle and ribbon around the base
Step 5
Add leaves to finish off the wand!

I cant wait to make this outfit. My girls fell in love with this last night. I have never made an outfit before, so this is the perfect one to start with. Thanks for sharing 🙂

We just had a fairy playdate where the girls all made similiar fairy headbands and created fairy houses with items they found at the park. It was so much fun. I’m sure my daughter would love this costume. Thanks for sharing! We’d love for you to share on our homemade costume parade.
