Homemade Tooth Fairy Costume
- 1). Choose clothing to serve as the base of your costume. You could use sweatpants and a sweatshirt, a plain dress or a leotard and tights. Avoid white clothing so that the white tooth appliques and accessories stand out.
- 2). Cut a large tooth shape out of a piece of white felt. Felt is a good choice because it will not fray along the cut edges like other fabrics.
- 3). Glue the felt tooth to the top front of your outfit.
- 4). Carve a 3-inch diameter or larger Styrofoam ball into the shape of a tooth. A metal nail cuticle pusher works well when carving Styrofoam but you can also use a knife or a metal nail file.
- 5). Inset a 12-inch or longer wooden dowel into the bottom of your Styrofoam tooth. This will be the wand for your tooth fairy costume. You can decorate it with ribbons or glitter, if desired.
- 6). Spread a handful of corn nuts onto a sheet of wax paper. Spray both sides of the corn nuts with white spray paint or use white craft paint to create fake teeth.
- 7). Glue the fake teeth to a tiara with craft glue to complete your tooth fairy costume.
