DIY Butterfree Pokemon Costume

I already posted the Poliwrath Costume DIY, so now here's the Butterfree Costume DIY I said was coming soon! 

Poliwrath costume - can be easily made into Poliwhirl (the happier version!). Picture is a link to the 'how to.'

Also check out how to make these DIY Incredibles Costumes by clicking on the picture!

Supplies Needed:

• Butterfly Wings (affiliate link)
• Blue Tunic (affiliate link)
• Purple Dress
• Blue Tights (affiliate link)
• Clear Plastic Ornament (affiliate link)
• Headband
• Two black pipe cleaners
• Black paint
• Red Paint
• ​Black marker
• *Scissors, needle, and thread (or glue)
• *Drill (or glue)
  

*I used the drill to drill two holes in the sides of the eyes so I could sew them onto the headband (I didn't want to ruin it). If you don't care about the headband you can simply glue the eyes onto it.

How to:

Use a marker to sketch the design onto the wings. Be sure to have cardboard underneath because the marker (and the paint) will go through!

Then use black to paint the design.

I painted both sides of the wings because I thought it looked better.

Finished wings!

Paint the inside of two halves of an ornament red.

It takes two coats!

I drilled two holes on opposite sides of each eye so that I could sew them onto the headband. If you don't care about the headband you can simply glue them on.

Create a curl on the end of two pipe cleaners and then connect them to the headband by simply wrapping them around!

Excuse the mess in the background - it is a shared office at work!
