Ballerina Peacock

October 27, 2011 Leave a Comment

After finding the cutest costume on sale for little lady I really thought I had scored a deal. That us until I found out I was missing the wings, tights, and head piece!!!
I searched and called everywhere to find them but no hope.
So after not wanting to pay almost 20 dollars for wings which might I add is almost double the amount I paid for the costume itself.
I came to the conclusion of making my own after viewing YOUTUBE tutorial videos on how to make butterfly wings out of hangers.
Here you have my end result:
peacock wings
Little lady looks so cute with her costume on. I didn’t want to reveal that just yet you will have to wait til Halloween which isn’t too far from now.
I won’t lie I am pretty proud of my hard work. I put it together in 2 days!
I don’t have an exact tutorial I kinda winged it (no pun intended) after viewing the video.
Basically I used:
5 wired hangers
2 types of ribbon
3 pairs of tights – i used green
acrylic paint
glitter glue
You can see from the pics above how it all came together!
What do you think?
Have you ever created a costume or accessory before?
