Fly with Peter Pan in a Tinkerbell Costume

Neverland is one of the most popular thoughts among children.

They always want to be a part of a place where they never grow up and can be kids forever.

Peter Pan is just one aspect of the characters from the Disney movie and story.

For little girls the most popular character is Tinkerbell.

Tinkerbell is the ultimate fairy and makes one of the best Halloween costumes.

If you have a little child or baby you will want to look at the different baby Tinkerbell costumes you have to choose from.

A baby Tinkerbell costume should have specific qualities including a dress, wings, want, and little ballet slippers. You can make this costume at home or you can buy one online.

Below are a few tips for making a baby Tinkerbell costume from a pattern.

Tinkerbell by nature is a costume that needs warm weather.

If you are living in a cold climate you probably want to add leggings and long arms to any pattern. You are going to need to visit a craft store or online store for patterns.

You will have many choices in patterns for Tinkerbell because you can use a princess pattern, dress pattern, or Halloween patterns to find the best design for you.

You can also choose an easy or more difficult pattern. Sometimes Tinkerbell is denoted with a tattered hemline, which can add a little difficultly to the pattern rather than having a straight hem. The arms for this type of tattered dress are also going to have a tattered hemline.

You can choose velvet, cotton, or fleece for the dress depending on the warmth you will need. You may also want to elongate the arms to keep your baby Tinkerbell costume warm. You will need to create a sash to keep the dress authentic.

The wings of the baby Tinkerbell costume should be made with a sheer material and strong wire. The wire will help you keep the form and the sheer material is the best for keeping the original design.

You may wish to add a little woodsman type cap to the costume to keep your babies head warm. Shoes can be made with the material or you can purchase white shoes with little green bows.

The wand is one of the easiest aspects of the baby Tinkerbell costume because you need a pipe straw and a little material to form a wand.

It can be in the shape of a flower, star or other object. For a baby Tinkerbell costume if you add something inside the wand like bells you will keep your baby entertained.

The material should also be something safe your baby can chew on.
