How To Make Your Tinkerbell Costume


Halloween, Birthday Themed Party, School Plays, Masquerade Ball, these are some of the occasions where we can go and dress ourselves and our youngsters as this enchanted cute tiny pixie named Tinker Bell. It is true, being Tinker Bell even just for a day can be fun for girls of all ages.

We all know Tinker Bell as a cheerful and fun-loving pixie character, protector of the lost boys of Never Never Land, and the one who is secretly in love with Peter Pan. She may be tiny, but she can definitely be many things.

Now, if you want to create your own Tinker Bell costume for you or your child, and if buying or renting one is not an option, then we have just the right article for you.

There are a lot of Tinker Bell costume styles, the first thing that you must do is to know, which style you want to make. Also, you must be able to rely on your sewing skills and creativity, if you want to be able to come up with a unique and attractive Tinker Bell costume.

The following are the materials that you will need in making your very own Tinker Bell costume:

* Patters for tunic and fairy wing
* Wire (Thin one)
* Forest green material
* White or purple lace
* Stocking like material

Instructions:

Step 1 – Tinker Bell’s dress

First, you will need to create your Tinker Bell dress. If you have seen the movie Tinker Bell, she is seen wearing a long Tunic as her dress. You can always go with any color, however, if you truly want to follow said pattern, then forest green is definitely the color that you must use.

The dress must fit snugly at the waist (with length preferably to the mid thigh). While, the bottom of Tinker Bell’s tunic must have rough edges, the sleeves of the dress must be short and with the same rough edges. (If you are unsure of your pattern, you can always go online and look for more patterns).

Step 2 – Tinker Bell’s Wings

After choosing the pattern for your wing, you must cut and secure your lacy or stocking like material to the wire. Bear in mid that the wire that you must use, must be able to support your chosen wings material. Secure all the rough edges of the wires, to avoid pinching the back of the wing’s wearer.

Carefully attach your wings to the back of the finished dress. If you feel like it is not strong enough, you can always use hooks for the shoulders, thus, acting like a second piece. Do not confuse butterfly wings with fairy wings.

You can complete your Tinker Bell costume with ballet shoes; just ensure that you choose the same color as your dress, so they can compliment each other. For the hairstyle, you can always put your hair or your child’s hair in a bun, or just leave it down. To finish off your Tinker Bell attire, you can easily add makeup and glitters for a more fairy like glow.

Finding the right Halloween Costume is hard enough, what more if your goal is to find one that will fit and suit both you and your partner? The ideas and choices that one has is limitless. You can be creative and yet you can always opt for something that is not traditionally worn by many couples.

When you say couples costumes for a Halloween night dinner or after party, would you and your partner instantly agree with coming in as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell? Why not? These Book and Movie characters are more popular than ever.

Not only will you see little boys and girls attending themed parties, Halloween, or School Plays dressed as these lovable and unforgettable characters by J.M. Barrie, even adults can easily dress up as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell as well.

Now, wouldn’t you want to be caught saying to each other these lines from Tinker Bell and I quote “I can be you Tinker Bell, and you can be my Peter Pan, and we can run away together off to Never Never Land”; or this line from Peter Pan and I quote “Don’t you understand Tink, You mean more to me than anything in the world!”

Saying said lines from both Tinker Bell and Peter Pan will truly make other couples envious not only of your matching attires, and spills, but the fact that both of you as a couple picked a Halloween costume that is truly loved and adored by many.

Being in sync with your love one, when it comes to small things like choosing your Halloween costume and actually agreeing on it is something that most couples don’t possess. It may be easier for some; however, in reality it is much harder as many would go into an argument with simply having a topic of what to choose and where to go for costumes.

But if you suggest to your partner the idea of coming in as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, things may be a little bit easier and more fun too. Not only will the two of you have fun dressing up like the famous lost boy and the adorable pixie, some people would actually envy you for having the courage to wear said costumes, and you will prove to be the highlights of the night’s Halloween party gathering.

Added to this, things can be a bit extra especial (and may be literally relation enhancing) when the party is over. Just imagine your girl wearing that extra sexy Tinker Bell Costume or your man wearing those tight pants that comes along with the Peter Pan costume.

Things will definitely be great before and after the party when you choose matching Peter Pan and Tinker Bell costumes.

Relive your favorite childhood characters, enhance your relationship, choose Peter Pan and Tinker Bell as your couples costumes for your Halloween affair and off you go with the lines “Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust coupled with We can fly!” Spread some pixie dust and love around. Be the night’s star.
