Fairy Outfit
A fairy could wear a floaty dress or skirt, a long tunic, or leotard. If you don’t have any of these items at home or want to make a fairy outfit of your own, follow these magic steps!
Step 1: Find an old slip, nightgown, skirt, or long T-shirt.
Step 2: Use scissors to cut the bottom hem in a zigzag pattern. The hem should fall just above the child’s knees.
Step 3: Using ribbons or scrap fabric, fit the outfit to your child with a colorful belt. Fairies love bows and belts!
Step 4: Add brightly colored pants, tights, or leggings, and pair them with ballet shoes, slippers, or sandals.
Step 5: Here’s the fun part for your little fairy: Decorate the outfit with ribbons, leaves, glitter, feathers, or flowers and attach with craft glue.
Troll Outfit
A troll usually has a big nose, big teeth, a wide belt, and wears a hood. Our version is made from an old hooded sweatshirt and leggings. Make your own with these simple steps!
Step 1: Find a large, old hooded sweatshirt.
Step 2: Use scissors to cut the bottom hem of the sweatshirt in a zigzag pattern. The shirt should fall just above the child’s knees. Save the leftover fabric scraps for the next step.
Step 3: Gather the shirt around the waist using a wide belt or piece of scrap fabric.
Step 4: To make a big nose, use face paint to paint your child's nose a bright color, like orange, green, or red. Step 5: Add pants, leggings, opaque tights, or long socks—striped are best! Trolls usually go barefoot, but if your troll is going to go outside, sandals or ballet slippers make the best troll shoes.
Step 6: Decorate the outfit with markers, ribbons, leaves, glitter, feathers, or flowers and attach with craft glue.
