Homemade Halloween Fairy Costumes

So your daughter has decided that she really wants to be a fairy for this coming Halloween. One small problem with her plans though: The Great Recession means you're out of work and you don't know how you're paying for candy for trick or treating, never mind how to pay for a whole costume.

Not to worry though, I'm hear to help with homemade Halloween Fairy costume ideas. Check 'em out:

The first part of any plan for creating a fairy costume is relatively straightforward. You need a dress. You should pick something frilly looking and preferably white. If you're in the mood for a bit of a project, choose an old dress you won't mind leaving as a costume and either sew or glue some sequins onto the dress around the edges.

This will create a lovely glittery effect and will enhance the halo look for our new fairy. Of course if your daughter happens to like that look, the dress can be used again even when you are not dressing her up for the holiday. In that case however, make sure you sew the sequins on and don't glue them.

The glue simply will not last for either a washing machine cycle or a dry cleaners.

As we continue on with planning our homemade fairy costume, we come to probably the most difficult part of the project. You need to find a way to create the wings she will wear on the back of her costume.

Now you can of course buy some wings, but let's assume that you are one of the unfortunate folks affected by that 9.7% unemployment rate and you want to do it yourself (or maybe you just prefer to do it yourself anyway).

Either way, all you need is a couple of wire hangers like you can get from the dry cleaners and some nice frilly material from any fabric store. Pick a color that will match the dress. Now, take your hangers and cut off the tip of them, the round hook where it would hang on the pole. You can try either twisting them off or use a wire cutter.

Now, you need to take the triangle that was left and twist it into the shape of a wing. Once you've done this, you should put your fabric from the fabric store around the wings and either sew or glue them on.

Make sure to pay special attention to the edge where you cut the loop off and put extra padding there so it doesn't cut anyone. Before you know it, your daughter will have a lovely Homemade Halloween fairy costume. Happy trick or treating!
