Supplies
You will need the following items:

Make the Flower Crown
First make the flower crown:
- Grab the two pieces of cloth stem wire and twist them to fit the child's head.
- Wrap the floral tape around the wires.
- Once that is done create a loop at both ends and add more floral tape to secure it.
- Next, add the flowers to the end of the wire and secure it with tape. Continue this until the end.
- Now you have a beautiful flower crown, (if you do not have ribbon you can use a shoelace like in the picture)
Make the Tutu
Second make the tutu:
- First, measure the child's waist and cut the elastic the that size.
- Next, sew the two ends of elastic together.
- Now put the elastic band around something round, (you can use a vinegar gallon bottle)
- Cut the tulle to desired length; fold in in half and put it under the elastic creating a hole at the top
- Then, put the bottom tulle in the hole and pull until tight, (repeat this step until the whole elastic is covered)
- Once that is done you have a cute colorful tutu for your kid
This is not necessary:
- Cut out 12 pieces of triangular fabric
- Then, hot glue them all around the tutu
Make the Fairy Wings
Third make the Wings:
- Sculpt the bottom and top wings.
- Cut of the hanger part from the wings.
- Next, grab your 2 pairs of silk stockings and tight the toes and cut the top of them.
- flip the stockings inside out and pull it through the wings and hot glue the ends.
- Now take the card stock and hot glue the wings to the paper.
- Then, hot glue two pieces of elastic band on each side for the straps.
- Next, use your color of spray paint and spray along the sides leaving the middle a little exposed.
- Add your desired amount of flowers and glitter, then your done.
Make the Shoes
Forth make the shoes:
- Grab the dance shoes and two pom pom balls.
- Simply just glue the pom poms on the front center of the shoes.
Make the Wand
Fifth make the wand:
- take three pieces of stem wire and twist them together,(this makes the wand sturdy.)
- At the end of one side of the wires wrap it in floral tapes so there are no sharp parts.
- Cut out you choice of shape, ( I chose a heart but you could also use a star.)
- Next, hot glue the hearts on the end of the wire with no tape
- Lastly, add on pom poms, and extra tulle
Final Touches
- I added a charm to the leotard,(I thought it made it way cuter)
