DIY Dollar Store Fairy Costume

Okay, so I wanted to post this for Halloween. I may or may not be a couple months late doing this. Ooops sorry I have had a lot going on these past couple months but better late than never right? For Halloween I had Bridgette's costume taken care of and we got Eli's costume while he was still in my tummy. Thank you Babies-R-Us and your awesome sales! Emelia's I slacked on. Two out of three kids is okay right? That's more than 50%! Just kidding, kind of. We had a trunk or treat planned at our church and that day is when I was like "oh Emelia still needs a costume!" I do my best work under pressure and when I procrastinate so this is what I came up with.

Emelia had a beautiful dress that was ivory that my MIL bought for her to wear and she wears it to church. I saw it and thought that would make a beautiful dress to be a fall fairy with. After coming to that conclusion I decided to go to the dollar store and see what I could find. This is what I got:

I spent $4.24 at the dollar store and got these 4 items. Keep in mind I already had the cute little dress I just needed the fairy accessories. I started out with the crown. I took off the fuzzy purple bottom part so it looked like this:

After that I slowly started to pick apart the fall looking flower bunch I got and started to hot glue it to the crown:

I kept on just adding and adding flowers until it was to my liking. This is what my finished crown looked like:

After the crown I decided to work on the fairy wand. It was mostly to my liking already but I wanted to add the pretty fall flowers to it too. I started out by pulling apart a couple flowers:

Then after that I started to hot glue them to the middle of the wand until it was to my liking then I added it some little flowers to the hanging ribbon until I really liked how it looked:

After that I decided to make the wings. This is all easy but to me the wings were the easiest to do. I just took some flowers and put them in the middle of the wings like this: 

Then to add a little pizzazz I added more flowers to the upper wings:

There you have it! That's all I needed to make a cute little fairy costume. This is what it looked like before I put it on my little Emelia:

I loved the way it turned out and I kept on getting compliments on how cute it looked on her. Plus I had my little dragon that the little fairy went perfectly with. Here is a pic of us on Halloween. Don't judge I have no make-up on:

 

If you are a procrastinator like I am or if you just want an easy affordable fairy Halloween costume for your little girl, well try this out.
