Celebrate Valentine's Day or any occasion with a gorgeous, glittery, girly toddler heart fairy costume.
Fairy Costumes with Hearts
There's nothing more adorable than watching your little girl twirl around the house in a shiny, shimmering, cotton candy-colored heart fairy costume. The getups are a hot ticket item, especially with young ballerinas who inspire to take the stage as fairy princesses when they grow up.
Toddler heart fairy costumes can be worn for dance recitals, Valentine's Day parties, Halloween or as a uniform for a fairy-in-training. The pretty pink and white ribbon, lace and glitter encrusted heart fairy costumes are irresistible to most toddlers who can't wait to slip into the fluffy dresses with matching heart-shaped wings.
How to Make A Toddler Heart Fairy Costume
Fortunately, you don't have to fork over a bundle to make your little girl's fairy dreams come true. With a little creativity you can make a heart fairy costume on your own using materials you may have around the house.
Traditional
Most toddler girls love pink, so to fulfill their fairy tale fantasies, you might consider using a rose-colored dress or leotard with a matching pink tutu as the base for your little one's heart fairy costume. If you prefer your toddler to don a more conservative Renaissance-style fairy costume, then pair a matching layered skirt with a puffy sleeved top accented with long ribbons that will fly around when she twirls. Accessorize with a heart-shaped tiara, wings and wand to complete the fantastical fairy costume.
Fanciful
A fancier option is to sew layers of tulle under a traditional dance skirt. Then, top it with a lace-up bodice blouse featuring heart appliques, sheer pink wings with hearts drawn in red or pink glitter glue, and a matching sequined headpiece that you can find at the Dollar Store or a thrift shop and accent with plastic or Styrofoam hearts.
Enchanting
This enchanting heart fairy costume for toddlers can be used for a Valentine's Day ballet recital or to play dress-up any day of the year. Simply decorate a pink, white or lavender colored leotard with heart-shaped appliques. Add matching glitter tights, a tutu, heart-shaped shoe covers and a gem encrusted heart-shaped wand. To make the wings for your little heart fairy, use cardboard cutouts or recycle a pair of white angel's wings and embellish with sequined heart adhesives. To finish off the costume make a delicate-looking heart and flower headband with artificial roses and ribbons.
