Photologue: DIY Twig Fairy Costume Adventure


Last year's matching diva costume for Halloween was a no-brainer for me, but this year, my daughter put me up to a challenge I almost didn't win. Finding the right costume that fits her taste and style proved impossible to find at any department store, so what did I end up doing? I created the perfect costume for her! It was inspired by her favorite character at the Renaissance Festival: The twig Fairy! Needless to say, we go there every year which also happened to be the perfect place where the costume took on a fun adventure! Now here's a challenge for you. Can you guess what material I used on this costume? Let's see if you can guess. Give me your best shot!

Trick-or-Treating @ the Medieval shoppes
during Renaissance's Halloween Daze and Spooky Knights 

And of course, can't leave without a photo op 
with the inspiration behind the costume!
Twig Fairy and the Little Twig Fairy Princess


And here's the material I used. Table Runners. All four of them. Did you guess right?  Total cost of this costume? A whopping $8 including all the accessories used. Believe it! Thanks to the Dollar Store. I didn't have to spend a fortune!

    Thanks Shana! I would do it again especially if it means not spending big $$$ for an outfit you would only wear once!

    Hi Verena! Thanks for visiting my blog back and linking back. My brain focused on the foreign words and I didn't even see the translation. Silly me. Went back in there and saw them. Your English is mighty fine lady :-)
