BONUS essential costume piece

Step 6: BONUS essential costume piece

you can use your left over tights as a top and bottom.
take one of the pairs and cut the crotch out and you have your top. you put your head through the hole you cut and the what were the legs are now the arms. i used to do this in ballet...its a trade secret...haha no longer!
works great for halloween costumes that just are not warm enough for halloween night. i wish i would have know about this when i was a kid, then i wouldn't have had to were a turtle neck under my belly dancer costume. i looked funny:)

and you can use the other pair as regular tights still, just capri style...i like those better anyway.

i layered mine with a random black dress i have and used the ribbon in my hair and around my neck.

pixie costume for basically free...depending on what you have already.
in case you couldn't tell, i was way into this one. i intend to make many more pairs and in fact may have found my new calling:) recycled pixie wings for everyone!!
cannot wait to see yours!

Thanks so much for posting! We're having a faerie day in school on Wednesday to celebrate the spirit of spring. I know I have a couple of pairs of demented dance tights around the house some where!
