Homemade No Sew Princess Costume

Homemade No Sew Princess Costume

So to finish out the 3 Baers costumes this year little Miss Baby Baer was transformed into a Princess. this costume was completely no sew. BUT....I must say I did not make the tu-tu. I had a tu-tu that someone had given me for her and we just used the tu-tu and created the colors and costume around that. Tu-Tu's are big these days so I figure a lot of people have them already. If so use it! And create the costume colors around the tu-tu.

I have no idea how to make a tu-tu so I can't say if you have to sew it or not. LOL (Just an fyi)

Supplies needed:

Scrapbook paper (glittered style)

1/2 yard tulle

jewel embellishments

glitter glue

foam craft wands

foam stickers

I got the foam stickers, ribbon, jewels and scrapbook paper all at Walmart in the clearance section. The Foam wands at the dollar tree. The entire cost of this costume was $10.00!!!! (Spending $3.00 on the tulle)

I created the hat by rolling a piece of the scrapbook paper into a tube and sizing it to her head. Leaving a small hole at the top to thread the tulle into. Once it was sized correctly I just stapled it together (The staples will be covered) and decorated with the jewel embellishments and foam stickers. I cut the tulle in half and threaded the tulle into the top of the hat and secrured it to the inside with *packing tape* (shhh....) and then made 2 slits on either side of the hat and threaded a long ribbon that went through and out the other side to secure it to her head (Tied under her chin)

She modeled the hat for me!!!!!

I then just decorated the foam wand with the

jewel embellishments with glitter glue and the

foam stickers.

Super Super Easy! I had ideas of different shirts but the freezing cold temps of PA in October changed my plans. I just put a turtleneck under a onsie that said Little Princess. And then double layered a pair of purple tights under a pair of pink tights. And her costume was totally done!!!!

Halloween Sneak Peek

Halloween is fast approaching and making 3 handmade costumes is a challenge since time is limited. So, I decided today to start working on them and try to knock it out early so there is no last minute freaking out on my part. (Which always happens) I figured I would have enough time to mess up a few times and still not be limited or freaking out on Halloween morning. LOL

So.... a Knight, a Dragon, and a Princess

I bought everything for all the costumes yesterday for less then $30.00!!! Now I do need to go back today and pick up a few more things. But for sure it's going to be a much cheaper way to go then buying a $30.00 costume for each.

The Knight tunic is a red tee shirt ($2.47 in craft section) Foam board, felt and glitter glue. and a few left over gems from the Princess hat and the Crests are ready for everything!

Sword and shield are cut from foam board and spray painted silver. Then the crests will be placed on them too!

Cloak is started too! Everything is drying

The boys even helped get into the action!

Brother Baer was loving getting into making the stuff and even decided on how many toes and claws a dragon should have.

Little Baer wasn't quite as helpful. Although he sure was having fun!

Still need to build Armor and let everything dry. But the Kinght is getting done!

Dragon costume is underway as well! Wings, spikes, feet and claws are underway.

Still need lots of work but everything is coming along great.

And of course the Princess is going to be cute as a button. Her costume is started with a Tutu....someone has given me for her. And a hat I made along with her wand. Still working on her top part of her dress and jewels. But I have time. :)

Had a little help from my friends with the spikes. I'm going to glue them together and use spray adhesive to stiffen them to stand. And then line the sides of the bottom with scales. Still need to build a tail. And some other things....It's a work in progress....lots of time. Right?

Princess Hat is made from scrapbook glitter paper, tulle, and foam stickers and jewels picked up from the clearance section of walmart.

Tutu was handmade just not by me. :) It was a gift passed down to Baby Baer.

Wand is a foam wand from dollar store with jewels and stickers added.

So, all in all an awesome way to spend the day!!
