Fairy Wishes, Butterfly Dreams

by Stacy on October 15, 2008

Butterfly costume
Photo from here

I stumbled across this image a few months ago and just knew I wanted to recreate this costume for my daughter for Halloween. I threw all reality out the window and went sheerly on impulse disregarding the fact that my 20 month old has never worn a costume, let alone a super pouffy tutu and is pretty particular about her clothing. In preparation for the event, I scooped up tons of gorgeous tulle, I researched the easiest ways to create a tutu online, and then I got to work creating my own version of this fairy skirt each night after work. Hours later I ended up with one gorgeous tutu if I must say so myself. I chose to mix colors pink, blue, and purple in several layers creating a beautiful effect. I was so excited for my little one to see the finished product. I waited patiently all day on Saturday waiting for the perfect opportunity to introduce her to my beautiful creation. It never once occurred to me, no not even once, that my wee one would be DEATHLY afraid of the thing. Yes, deathly. Just being near it brings her to tears, its a real shame- she would have made the most beautiful butterfly/fairy. So it goes, there’s always next year – or the year after that…

I used this method with more layering and color blending to create a no-sew tutu. I’ll post pictures of my version this weekend.

Flower Costumes

Here’s a no-sew costume idea brought to us by lovely Martha. This one can be ready in minutes and incorporates clothing you already have on hand. All you need is some felt, fusible webbing, a little trim, a colorful dress or tunic, and some bright tights. Add the cute pollen headband for even more pizazz, as always leave it to Martha. We’ve got a few more costumes only Martha could come up with heading your way…

Make your own Forest Fairy Costume

Forest Fairy Costume

The folks at Planet Happy Kids came up with the most amazing fairy wing costume and we just had to share it. The premise is simple – cardboard, leaves, and glue. Switch out the leaves for feathers, glitter and sequins, tissue paper… the possibilities are endless. These fairy wings would be great for a fall play date, a slumber party, a girl’s fairy birthday party, or even halloween, although I don’t think we’ll be able to wait that long. Thanks Planet Happy Kids , you just made this BIG kid happy!
