Tooth Fairy Costume
Fantasy holds a special place in the hearts of everyone, be it adults or children. The legend of the tooth fairy recounts the tale of a magical fairy who awards the children for the teeth that have fallen off. So every time your tooth broke off, you would place it under the pillow and lo and behold! the next morning you would be awarded with money and little treats. Of course sometimes the kind fairy would allow your parents to keep the tooth while rewarding you as well. This magical fairy also provides the inspiration for a very beautiful Halloween costume for kids and equally hilariously funny costume ideas for adults. Here is a look some great ideas to make this costume for men, women and children.
Tooth Fairy Costume For:
Women
Tooth fairy costumes for women can be a sexy head turner or plain hilarious. For the costume, you can include a white or pink corset tops, "poofy" skirts with trims, tiara and shimmery wings. Not to forget a sequined fairy tooth wand. Accessories can include a dollar necklace and a tooth shaped purse.
Men
Who said that only women can dress up as tooth fairies! Adult Halloween tooth fairy costumes for men are equally popular. This hilariously funny costume can lighten the mood in any room with its outrageous looking white imprinted tank top, a pair of white shorts, a pair of white wings and a headpiece made of molar cutouts. To complete the "fairy look" add a frilly tutu skirt to this funny outfit.
Children
This costume is a favorite among kids of all ages. My six year old niece wanted to dress up as a tooth fairy last Halloween. Dressed up in a gorgeous poofy dress, a tiara, matching fairy slippers and beautiful sequined wings, she looked an adorable darling. Tooth fairy costumes with the wings and the tulles skirts are fairly easy to make.
How to Make a Tooth Fairy Costume
Material Needed
- Big poofy dress
- Dental floss packs
- Toothbrushes
- Gum for a tooth necklace
- Poster board for wings and wand
- Elastic or string
- Foil
- Body glitter and glitter hair spray
- Needle and thread
- Hot glue gun
For making this beautiful costume select a big poofy white dress. Alternately, you can make your very own fairy tutu by measuring and cutting the tulle and attaching them to an elastic in a U shape. Now sew in the toothbrushes and floss packs onto your skirt. For the fairy necklace thread the gum onto a piece of string. Wings for your little tooth fairy can be made of poster boards and covered with glitter foil. Attach strings to secure it over the shoulders. A magical fairy wand and a bag of fake cold coins and a tiara made of teeth can complete the look of the perfect tooth fairy.
The origin of the tooth fairy is a mystery with some attributing it to an old European tradition where the teeth of little children was buried and hidden from the witches to prevent them from being cursed. This tradition was carried on as children began hiding their teeth under the pillow, expecting gifts and money from the tooth fairy. The fancy tooth fairy costumes are a great way of displaying and associating these creatures from fantasy land and just having loads of fun this Halloween.
