FAIRY COSTUME from plastic milk jugs: recycle crafting

My daughter wants to have a Spring Fairy Birthday Party this year where all her friends can dress up like little flower fairies and earn their wings by saving Summer from the evil Snow Queen.  Where do they come up with this stuff =)

Lots to do in planning a birthday party but first things first,  the costumes.  Since there will be a number of children invited to the party, I know the costumes  will have to be made from something FREE, or almost free, and from something easy to come by.   As it turns out, plastic milk jugs are perfect for this project. 

My conservative price estimate is $8.00 per flower fairy.  That price includes the cost of the tutu, which is optional.
Ribbon - $1.50 to $3.00
Silk Flowers - 50 cents
Glitter - 50 cents
Tulle - $4.00 (optional)

Step 1: SUPPLIES:

WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED:

5 plastic milk jugs, gallon size
Ribbon 12 to 24 feet
   ^{I found a roll, 12 feet, about half an inch wide, for $1.50 at a super center.}
Silk flowers
  ^{Goodwill is a great place to find these.  All the flowers I need for ten costumes for 50 cents.}
Glitter - Optional
   ^{I used some leftover snow glitter from another project.}
Hot glue and gun
wire
Xacto Knife
Broken hanger or stick

Hey I noticed that you have a featured instructable that is also on the front page.
I have a featured one that doesn't show up on the front page, and I published it yesterday. Can you help? Thanks
(I have the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree one)

Sorry, I really don't know the answer. I would contact Instructables and ask.

Thanks,
maybe it was the domain I put my instructable under.
Did you use public domain?

Some instructables are only featured in the channels. Some are featured on the front page, but not all.
