Are you looking for some fairy costumes for your girls or yourself this Halloween? Why not build your own? There are a couple of must-haves to make cheap fairy costumes look exceptional.

1. They must have wings! Fairies fly around. You can create wings by wrapping some fabric around two or four wire hangers, depending on the shape and size you want to create. You can bend the hangers so the wings are circular or keep them triangular. It is a personal preference.

2. Glitter and glamour! Fairies are pretty, so make sure your costumes include some face paint or body glitter to make your kids sparkle and shine.

3. Magic wands! Tinkerbell had one and your kids will want one too. You can create one with a wooden dowel with a star glued on top. If you want, you can spray paint it to match his outfit. An easy wand can also be created with some pipe cleaners. You can also add embellishments like your colored ribbons.

4. A fantastic dress. You can go through your closet and adorn a rarely worn dress with ribbons and lace or go to your local thrift store. They probably have ballerina costumes or tutus that can easily double as cheap fairy costumes.

When you make cheap fairy costumes with your children, they become a little more special to them. It’s a great activity to keep them entertained and helps them think creatively. They will be proud and excited to show their friends cheap fairy costumes because they have had a part in creating them. Don’t spend a lot of money on expensive costumes this year. Encourage your children to help create some fantastic costumes for the event.
