How to Create a Gorgeous Homemade Fairy Halloween Costume - Tips From an Expert Costume Designer

Do you want something special for this year's Halloween party? Do you want to impress and charm everybody with a surreal look? Well, then you must become a wonderful fairy who has just landed from the magical woodland. A fairy Halloween costume is quite simple to design, and the whole secret lies in the colors you use and in the matching accessories. Here is what you will need: a corset like stretch top made of velvet, and a sheer layered skirt made of organza. The color of the top and of the skirt should be different, but both only soft colors; for example, the top could be of a soft lavender while the skirt in a jade tone.

Do not be afraid to combine colors; especially if you combine the colors blue, jade, teal, lavender, and soft lilac, you will obtain a magical ensemble. Your fairy Halloween costume will be ready very quickly, and you will be charmed with the results. Firstly, you need to add a little bit of glitter and sparkle to your costume. Take a handful of silver sequin beads, and create some nice patterns. Start with the neckline; no matter whether it is v-shaped or other shape, you will decorate it with one layer of silver sequin beads. Now, do the same at the bottom of the top, or the waistline.

Your fairy Halloween costume starts to take shape. If your corset like top has any trims on the front, like the two usual parallel trims from the chest to the waistline, you should decorate those as well. This time, take white satiny beads, and decorate those trims. Your costume is ready now. You will need to work on the accessories, so that everyone will recognize the fairy princess in you. You will design now a nice fairy head wreath. Just take a simple plastic headband. You will decorate this with petit faux flowers.

Choose some tiny roses and lavender, and glue them onto the plastic headband. Then, make a nice hairstyle, like a loose bun. Place the wreath on your head, and you will look charming. If you want to, you can also add a few thin satin ribbons to your wreath; especially if you let your hair loose these will create a wonderful effect. Procure yourself a small fairy pouch decorated with flowers, and wear a pair of silvery sandals with your new fairy Halloween costume.

How to Really Enhance Your Costume With a Set of Unique Homemade Black Fairy Wings

If you have an old fairy costume or maybe an older black or dark blue dress you can buy a simple pair of fairy wings and turn them into scary looking black fairy wings.

Dark fairies or Banshee are very dark, bad, mischievous and sometimes evil fairies that can haunt a person for their entire lives. They are old, worn looking, skinny and without life. Instead of the soft enchanting voice that a good fairy has, they in turn have a terrible wail that is often associated to the death of a family member. They are creatures of the forest that no one from the old country dare speak of or venture out along at night for fear of running into one.

Now that you have a little background on these fairies, let discuss what you can do to make your fairy wings look mote dark and sinister.

Materials needed: Enough old-looking black lace to cover the wing construction, craft glue, twigs and dead leaves, scissors, material clips or pins, ribbon and a staple gun. If you are good with a needle and thread, then use it instead.

First you are going to want to take the wire from your wings and bend them a little bit. Where a beautiful, soft fairy may have perfectly shaped wings, a dark fairy's wings are a little tweak or bent in. A disorganized look is what you are after here.
Take your lace and start to pin it over the existing wing material. You don't want this to look perfect. It has to look a bit disorganized.  This will look even better if you sew the lace on the wings.
Now for the fun part. Take your small twigs and dead leaves and start to glue them to the wings. This will give the wings a more realistic look. Since dark fairies live in the deep forest, parts of the forest will definitely get caught on their wings.
Now take your scissors and make small little cuts into the lace. Make these small cuts in all different directions. This will give the wings a more sinister worn out look.
Finally grab the top of each wing and bend them forward a little. This will give the wings a sickly, droopy look. If you remember from the first paragraph of this article, dark fairies are old, skinny and sick looking creatures.
Last step is to tie your wings to your dress. This is a tricky part. We are going to make two loops. These loops are similar to what you would find on a backpack. You essentially are going to be making backpack type shoulder straps out of your wings. Standing in front of a mirror, see where your wings look the best. Mark that area and then attach one piece of ribbon to the top part of your wings and then to the lower part of the wing. Do this with your pins or clips. We will attach these permanently in a few minutes. Your first loop is completed. Now do this again with the second piece of ribbon. Attach the ribbon to the wings with pins, so you can adjust them if necessary. Once you have them just right, staple the ends of the ribbon to the wings and color over the silver staple with a permanent black pen. You want the staples to blend in with the wings. Now the ribbon ends are permanently attached and will not come off the wing. For a more professional look you can use a needle and thread for this entire step.

Congratulations, you now have a homemade set of black fairy wings. When someone asks you where you purchased your wings, you can boast that you made them yourself. Happy Halloween!
