How to make a tutu, Giveaway, and Manic Martha Moment

 

I’m back. Its Manic Martha Moment time, to play along read the rules here. Luckily I had made this little costume before the whole my baby has cancer incident. I know you are probably all asking yourselves why the hell am I making a fairy costume, don’t I have 2 boys? Why..? Because I can, and because I am crazy and this seemed brilliant at some point to me.  And now I can give it away! I am saddened by the lack of all things pink and frilly in my life. I adored making this costume a tad too much. You better believe you will see me in one for Halloween!

I am not going to give you the full directions to make a tutu, just provide the link to the youtube video I watched, and you too can figure it out. Here is the video link. Easy peasy. I should include that I sewed together a piece of elastic to make mine, I thought it would be easier for a little girl to dress herself with then having to tie a ribbon.

 

I completely made up the other parts of the costume, for the wings I tied some tulle to them, the headband I sewed a flower onto and added some more tulle, and the wand..well that was a many step project. I will have to make another and take pictures and and write directions another time.

So up for grabs is this adorable little fairy costume, I would say it would best fit about a 4 year old, but would fit 2-6 because of the elastic.
