Fairy Wings
When I worked on my Halloween costume, I decided to do something special with it. Rather than just buy a normal costume, or make something simple out of junk around the house, I decided to make it all myself so that it would be the best costume which I had ever worn. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to be a fairy. I found some delightfully tacky sequined dresses for very cheap at the thrift store, and ripped them up, attaching the sequins in haphazard patterns to thin see through scarves which I wrapped around my body. I then painted my face silvery, with pearlescent eye shadow and green hair coloring. Of course, the piece de resistance of my whole costume was the fairy wings
There are many ways to make your own fairy wings. If you have any experience with costume design at all, and if you think about it for just a moment, you could probably come up with a new way how to make your own fairy wings. The way I made mine was quite simple. I first created a frame to hold the fairy wings out of clothes hangers. I know it sounds kind of crude, but there's no point to make your own fairy wings if you're going to be expensive about it – half the fun is turning inexpensive junk into something beautiful and radiant. The next thing I did was to make a fairy wings pattern to cut out of cloth that matched my frame. I attached the fairy wings not with a needle and thread, or with tape, but instead with an elaborate criss cross of brightly colored wires. These wires shimmered themselves, and farther added to the effect of the costume.
The hardest part of making fairy wings is figuring out how to mount them. Fortunately, I had the perfect solution. I attached the wire to the back of a black corset with black masking tape. Soon I was laced up and ready to go. The best thing was that the scarves and sequins from the rest of the costume covered up the masking tape, while making it look like the fairy wings actually came out of my back. Needless to say, Halloween was a complete success. I danced all night and made many new friends, all of whom were deeply impressed by my costume, and sported fantastic outfits of their own.
