Kid's Halloween Costume: Pretty Peacock

Determine Tutu's Length and Begin Tying on Tulle

Measure the child's waist and subtract 4" so skirt will stay put when worn. Cut elastic to this measurement. Note: Don't worry if this measurement seems too small, the elastic tends to stretch a bit when knotting on tulle. Use hot glue (or needle and thread) to attach the ends of the elastic waistband together. Next, determine desired length of tutu and cut tulle into 3-inch-wide strips that are twice the length of the desired finished skirt. To attach tulle to the waistband, match up fabric ends, then make a loop in the center and slide loop under the elastic, pull the fabric's ends through the loop to create a knot.

Finish Tutu

Continue knotting tulle onto the waistband, alternating fabric colors, until you're happy with the skirt's fullness. Finally, use hot glue to attach a spray of peacock feathers to the back of the skirt.

Finishing Touches

Create a peacock hair accessory by attaching feathers to a headband with hot glue (Image 1). Dress your child in a blue T-shirt and leggings then have them step into the tutu. Add the embellished headband and your little beauty is ready to head out for a night of Halloween fun.
