DIY-Damenkostüm
If you are looking for a Disney costume for carnival or Halloween that is not so popular, then you are definitely in the right place with the fairy bell as a disguise idea. She is not one of the typical Disney princesses, but is loved by young and old. A Tinkerbell costume for women is also relatively easy to make yourself and doesn't take too much time. We'll reveal what you need below!
The dress
The best thing about Tinkerbell's costume is that you can easily recreate it using clothes from your own closet. So you don't need to buy expensive costumes and accessories. The main component of the costume is the small, green dress, which is characterized by a jagged hem. You can cut an old dress or skirt to fit, or sew a fairy dress yourself. You can even use a large t-shirt to transform into a dress. It should be fitted, with a tube neckline and scalloped hem. Alternatively, you can buy a basic green dress and simply cut out zigzags at the hem.
Haare & Make-up
When it comes to the hairstyle and make-up for the Tinkerbell costume for women, there are also some important features to consider. The little magical elf's blonde hair is tied in a high bun and her bangs are slanted to the side. The best way to create a bun is to use a bun pillow. If you don't wear blonde hair, you can find a wig that fits. The makeup can be adapted to the costume by using green eyeshadow in two or three different shades. You can round off your eye make-up beautifully with an eyeliner and a little glitter. For the lips, we recommend an inconspicuous lipstick in a light shade of red.
Shoes
For the shoes for the Tinkerbell costume for women you need plain ballerina shoes, some glue, green glitter and white pompoms. First, mix the glue with some glitter in a bowl and coat the shoes with the mixture. Then sprinkle some glitter over it and let it dry well. Finally, spray with clear varnish and glue a white pompom to each shoe.

Simple versions for children
If your little girl wants to transform into a beautiful fairy for carnival or Halloween, then you can make a simple Tinkerbell costume yourself. There are actually many different versions of this, but we'll just show you two of them.
Sewing a dress from fabric
The first option would be to sew a simple Tinkerbell dress out of green fabric. To do this you will need another dress as a template, white elastic band, scissors and the sewing machine. To make matching shoes, you will need white shoes, green paint, brushes, white pompoms and a hot glue gun.
Using the template, you first cut the green fabric and then sew a simple dress with zigzags at the hem and elastic band straps. Then paint the shoes green and decorate each with a pompom. All you need is the fairy wings and the costume is ready.
Make your own from tulle
Another option for the costume would be a simple tulle dress made without sewing. This requires tulle in green and possibly white, as well as a wide elastic band. The tulle is cut into strips and then each strip is tied individually to the elastic. This ultimately creates a tulle skirt.
Finally, you can tie a small knot at the bottom of the individual strips to imitate the points more precisely. The skirt can be transformed into a dress with a green fabric belt. If necessary, add one or two straps and you're done.
Tinkerbell hairstyle for kids
The hairstyle for the Tinkerbell costume for children can be styled in the same way as for women. Simply tie a bun at the top of your head using a bun pillow, styling the bangs at an angle. Since makeup is not suitable for children, you can apply some glitter as fairy dust to the arms and cheeks instead. Your little princess will look like a real forest fairy.
Matching carnival costumes for siblings
If you want to dress up your children according to the same theme, then Tinkerbell's friends from the other Disney fairy films are perfect for siblings. In “The Secret of the Fairy Wings” we meet Tinkerbell’s twin sister – Periwinkle. She is a frost fairy who lives in the winter forest and wears a blue costume. Together the fairies offer a beautiful idea forCarnival costumes for siblings.
Which accessories for the costume?
To complete the Tinkerbell costume for women or children, you will need the right accessories. Every fairy needs a pair of wings to fly. That's why you shouldMatching fairy wings to the costumeGet it or why not make it yourself. Many different materials are suitable for this, although the easiest way to do this is with wire and organza or transparent film. The crafted wings can then be decorated with a 3D color and added to the costume.
Another accessory you need to dress up as the fairy Bell is the fairy wand. For a beautiful magic wand you need a small, round wooden stick, green felt, some cotton wool, a needle and thread, as well as decorative elements such as sequins, buttons, beads and various fabric ribbons. First cut out two stars from the felt, then sew them together by stuffing them with cotton wool. Leave a small hole at the bottom where the wooden stick is inserted. Then decorate the magic wand with beautiful decorations of your choice and the beautiful fairy accessory is ready. We wish you a lot of fun at the carnival!
