Cheap Infant Fairy Halloween Costume

Dress you baby up in one of the cutest costumes around. An infant fairy Halloween costume matches the bright light inside any baby with playful colors and designs. Purchase or make one easily. The money you spend on material will be little and the design can be very basic.
Fabrics to select from include tulle and other netting plus anything soft and shimmering. For colors, choose from the brightest. Reds, purples and yellows are vivid and playful. Adding green to any color presents a floral effect, with stem and leaves, if yours is a garden or woodland fairy.
Unless you see your little one in an elaborate get up, in which case, simple is the wrong word. Still, if you have the skills, go for it. Sleeves and even straps are completely optional, even if you live in a cooler climate, since a shirt can go underneath. Merely top the dress with the green underside of a flower, the points sticking out in a rounded shape below the neck. The dress itself, if left to flow out, will be the flower. Cut the edging to resemble petals or simple layer to a fluffy finish.
The hat is perhaps the sweetest part of all. Mimic the flower dress, just in miniature, with small petals under a green stem stick right up at a curved angle. If your infant is not yet walking you do anything with shoes you like, including creating pointy green ones from shiny material.
To decrease the floweriness of your fairy take out the green and give her simple straps. No matter the weather, this works fine. Just make sure she wears a shirt underneath. Fasten embellishments like glitter, stars, moons or small flowers where straps meet the dress. One advantage is that if you contrast these with the color of the dress your daughter will not be overwhelmed by one shade of pink or yellow. Another way to achieve some sparkle is with hair accessories or a waist band if you plan for a fitted look. Match shapes to those at the straps.
When an infant gets moving, pants might be a more practical choice. Add these to any fairy costume, yet hide them at the same time. Buy or make shorts which bunch at the knees in a dark color. Select a top the same color. Cut out a large flower from a different color, ensuring the edges are very neat, then attach it to the front of your infant costume. Make sure the flower does not poke her in the eye, yet it should also remain flat and stiff. You can achieve this by using pipe cleaner, or just make sure to stitch the tops of petals to the shirt thoroughly.
Finally, never forget fairy wings. These can be opaque and virtually colorless, or a fine mix of shades that match the outfit. Have them stick up straight and stiff, wide or tall, even dangling lower down, so long as they are always defined and obviously wings.
