Tinkerbell Costume

Hat - I crocheted it to look like Tinkerbell's hair. I don't remember what pattern I used for the hat, but I made up the little ball on top, stuffed it, and stitched it on.

Skirt - I sewed a piece of elastic to fit around her waist, then I took two shades of green tulle, cut in strips, and tied them around the elastic.

Wings - I found some fairy wings at the dollar store, but they didn't have green. So I just bought one, then took their material off and covered the frame with the leftover tulle that I had. I tried sewing the tulle but it was being pretty stubborn, so I ended up cutting the edges and tying them over the frame.



 Onesie - I initially started by hand stitching each of the glass beads on, but it was taking too long, so I just used hot glue to make the swirls, then poured the beads on and shook the excess off.
Shoes - I found some crochet pattern for shoes (which I know I totally messed up, but made it work) then just made up the fluffy white part and stuck it on.








So this was my first crochet project ever. I also made a hat for Jeffrey (who was Peter Pan), but since he hates having pictures taken, I had to have Bekka model it for me.
