Easy Vampirina Kid's Costume Tutorial for Halloween

Make this Easy Disney Vampirina fancy dress-up costume with a matching Hair Headband and Skull necklace for Halloween, Bookweek and Dress-up Parties

This costume is a NO SEW design dress, with only some basic sewing skills needed for the headband

I was going to sew a complete Vampirina inspired costume from scratch but to be honest, it's actually so basic in its design, that it is not needed. Plus not all mums have a sewing machine, so let's keep this costume craft easy, budget-friendly and just in time for Halloween. The official Disney Vampirina costume is only made in small children's sizes, so this method is great for all different size children

You can also use this method to create spiderwebs on clothing and the headband for traditional Vampire costumes. The Headband pattern template is FREE to download HERE

Supplies

FAUX DRESS - Black circle aline skirt ($8 retail chain)

Pink Tshirt ($3 Best & Less)

Black boys under singlet (pack of 3 $5 retail chain)

Ruler

Silver 3D Puff fabric paint. I used Tulips silver glitter colour

White pencil

Glitter Foam in black

Strong Craft Glue & Pegs

Old Headband

Step 1: Create Your Spiderweb Pattern

Place your blank black singlet and skirt on a flat surface
With a ruler and a white washable sewing pencil, draw a line straight down the centre of your skirt
Find the centre from the side of the skirt to the centre line and mark at the top and bottom. Draw a line diagonal from top to bottom
Repeat on the back of the skirt
Starting at the bottom of the skirt, hand draw curve lines from one straight line to the next
Repeat all the way around the skirt
Work your way up the skirt evenly, each curve will be smaller as you go up
With puff paint, start tracing over your lines. I used a silver glitter colour
The trick to getting 3d puff fabric paint even is to work fast, steady and use the same pressure on the bottle while squeezing.
Let dry and repeat on the back side of the skirt
Repeat the above steps on to the singlet top
