If you have a young daughter, odds are she will want to dress up as a princess for Halloween.  While it may be easy to just go out and purchase a costume, it can be quite expensive in the long run.  Making a homemade princess costume for Halloween can be not only affordable, but fun as well.

If you have a pretty pink or white dress, this can be the basis for the outfit.   White leotards and a white body suit to wear under the dress are suggested.  Adding glitter to the sleeves of the body suit would also be a great idea, not to mention the body suit and leotards would keep your child warm on Halloween.  Once you have these basic items, the next thing which has to be addressed is whether your daughter will wear slippers or shoes.  White shoes would be appropriate, or if you can find a pair of white slippers and garnish them with glitter; this would be awesome.

Depending on which princess your daughter has chosen, that is, one of the Disney characters such as Cinderella or Snow White, or perhaps a princess she read about in a book, the right accessories will accent the entire wardrobe to create the most enchanting princess of all.

While some princesses wear capes, others wear fur wraps.  Whatever is chosen, it can easily be made with fabric.  For example, a white cape can be adorned with gold lace around the edges, and a gold jeweled clasp can be utilized to close the front at the neck.  A wrap made of fur can be purchased at a fabric store and cut to fit your daughter’s shoulders.  You can attach both ends together with either a beautiful piece of jewelry, preferably one with a clasp.

What’s a princess without a tiara?  This can easily be made with wire and ribbons.  There are star wires available in different colors.  Simply measure the child’s head and cut a piece of star wire and form it into a circle.  Use the ribbon to wrap around the base of the wire utilizing one or several color ribbons.  You can add additional wire to form a three-dimensional tiara as well.
