DIY Toddler Tinker Bell Costume and Hair

Hey sistas!  Happy Halloween!  I LOVE making Halloween costumes!  I have always made my own for as long as I can remember.  I think it is way more fun to make your own and it turns out so much more unique.  This year my daughter is being Tinker Bell from Peter Pan.  I have been calling her Tink and we have watched YouTube videos of Tinker Bell.  We have also been practicing treat-or-treating with chocolate chips.  She gets so excited for that!  This will be the first year that she can actually walk around and say trick-or-treat so I am just so excited to watch her!  I started planning her costume months ago and have been collecting materials here and there.  I am so happy with how this DIY Toddler Tinker Bell costume turned out and I can’t wait to share my full tutorial on how I made it and how I did her hair!  It is simple and inexpensive to make. 

Let’s start with the supplies that you are going to need:

1. green knit fabric – I got 3/4 yards of fern green knit fabric from Joann’s.  Make sure you get knit so it can stretch. 
2. white elastic – This is so cheap and you can get it at any craft or fabric store.  I already had some. 
3. white dress shoes with strap – I found white dress shoes on clearance at a store for cheap!
4. green paint 
5. foam paint brush
6. large white pom poms – I found mine at Joann’s for cheap.  Don’t forget your coupons! 
7. fabric shears
8. sewing machine
9. hot glue gun
10. fairy wings – I did not make the wings.  I ordered them online for cheap! 

Hair:

1. beige 2 inch bun maker – The beige matched my daughter’s hair.  She doesn’t have super long hair yet so I went with the smallest one I could find which was about 2 inches.  
2. small clear hair elastics
3. hair spray
4. comb
