For my niece’s second birthday, we decided to get her a fairy princess costume, which was on her list. I was shocked at the price and quality of what was available in the stores and so set out to see what I could sew.

I found a great plan for a tutu skirt at Make Stuff for Baby, based on this original plan at Plumtickled. Make Stuff for Baby also had a plan for fairy wings, but I was short on time and did not have any coat hangers, so I sewed some material together and then slid in some flexible electrical wire to provide some support.

Here’s the layers of material going together. I used poly batting inside, then some yellow material, then some netting to match the tutu, and finally edged the whole thing in lace:

Here’s the front and back of the fairy wings:

Here’s the Littlest Page modeling the finished product
