Character: Tinkerbell
Version: Disney
Series: Peter Pan
When Completed: Oct. 2008
Reason: I wanted to do something for Halloween for sure. So what better way to ensure you do something then to make a costume? I have been wanting to do a Disney character for a while, and even though Ariel was my first choice I decided on Tink because I could use my own hair and I really wanted to make a pair of fairy wings! Plus, she has a lot of spunk which I love.
Worn to:

Construction notes: For a Halloween costume this was made really nicely. Ironically the easier the costume the better job I do on construction. Anyway, the dress is lined and boned so I don't have to have straps. The base fabric is the pretty taffeta looking fabric, that is certainly not taffeta! I also got these pretty organza from JoAnn's that has jewels and sparkles already on it, which I thought was PERFECT for Tink. I really wanted to go all out, actually I wanted to go over board, with the amount of sparkles and glitter. And trust me I did. I made the wings out of wire and cellophane. I added beads, glitter and gems (which is hard to see in this photo) to the wings too. Shoes were $1 jellies I got at Wal*Mart, then covered in left over fabric from the dress and then I add the puffs, gems and glitter. I love my shoes. The ears I got offline. Hair is mine own and I used a styrofoam ball to give my bun volume since my hair is so thin
