Do-it-yourself costumes have become the go-to option for Halloween and other special costume events. Have you ever wanted to transform yourself into a woodland fairy? With a few minor accessories, you can easily become the beautiful creature of your own design.
To start, wearing a light green dress or sundress will give you an ethereal air. The fabric should be lightweight and won’t restrict movement or inhibit the light silhouette of a fairy. To accent your outfit, create a flower crown out of various small, colorful flowers or paper. You can glue the paper flowers, or use a hot glue gun to attach the petals of real flowers to a thin piece of elastic. Place the elastic on your head and you’ll have your fairy crown.
The wings are perhaps the most important feature of a fairy. White fabric and bubble wrap work well as a lightweight material for creating wings—you can buy a sheet of bubble wrap and cut out two wing shapes. Sew the two edge of the wings together with a heavy-duty thread, making sure to match the pattern on top of the wings. For a special touch, add sequins and glitter to the wings before you sew them together and attach them to a brooch to stick them on the back of the dress.
The last step is to add a magical touch to your dress, such as shiny ribbons, feathers, colorful trinkets, or bits of jewelry. To really give it the look of a fairy, you can even sprinkle a few flower petals around you for an enchanting effect.
Once you’ve completed your woodland fairy costume, you can bring your fantasy to life and entrance party-goers with your magical presence!
