How do I make a tinkerbell Costume???

Question

I was wondering how to make one because i need to ask my mom to make one for me because i have a halloween carnival coming up and i want to look very pretty.

Pale green jumper. You can buy a pattern from Simplicity. The hardest part is the material. It's a flimsy cotton. Spring is definitely the time to go to a fabric store. You want to get a very minty or kelly green. Make a jagged hemline. Wear hose, ballet shoes and pink lipstick. Don't forget to pout most of the night.

The color of her outfit changes all the time depending on which storyline you are following but I would recommend buying felt for the collar in a paler shade than the dress. It can be pale yellow, pale mint, ivory...doesn't really matter. And cutting it like Grateful Dead bears. Before you put the collar on the dress (and you'll want to do this part right before Halloween) Take some spray adhesive and spray the collar. Put Gold glitter all over it. Buy a set of really big wings at the Party store. They are about $15.

The hair is the hardest part b/c everyone knows Tinkerbell for her spikey blonde hair. If you don't wish to cut your hair, I'd start looking now for a wig. It isn't easy to find. Wigs are rather expensive too. You'd probably spend about $20 on that. Spray some of that gold hair paint in your hair/wig as well. Between the collar and the glitter in your hair, glitter will fall behind you as you walk.

My lil cousin carried a lil bag. They bought gold foil and tore it up into the tiniest pieces so that her whole lil bag was filled with gold foil in case anyone asked for a lil bit of pixie dust.

Check ebay out--you might be able to find a Tink costume from last year easier and cheaper than you could make it yourself since it's such a simple, inexpensive costume to begin with.

Hope this helps.
