A butterfly costume makes a great Halloween costume and is very easy to put together. It can also be decorated with any fabric and is very easy to make.

Wings

You can make the wings of a butterfly costume from any type of fabric. These can make a great and affordable addition to any costume.

To make your own wings, you can either print or draw a pattern for a butterfly's wing. Or, you could buy an online template and trace it onto the fabric.

A fun and easy way to make butterfly wings is by painting them. This is a great activity for birthday parties or to enjoy at home.

This simple costume is perfect for little girls who love coloring. You have the option to make your child's wing designs as elaborate or simple as they wish.

Headpiece

The simple but stunning butterfly costume can look amazing, regardless of whether you're dressing up as a Monarch butterfly flock or a fairy from the woods. They are also versatile and can be used in a variety of costume events.

It's a great spot to add extra details to a butterfly costume's headpiece. An antenna is included in some costumes. However, you can create your own antennas using wired twine or a hand-made wand.

With a cardboard piece for the chest, egg carton wings, and three long strips of black fabric for tie-making (one for the waist), kids can create their own. To complete it, you will need to use wire antennas, felt eyes and a proboscis.

If you want to paint the wings yourself, however, you may need to use glitter paint rather than markers. You can also trace the wings onto a piece of paper using a stencil. Once you have traced them, you can then cut them out with scissors.

Hair

The head of a butterfly costume must be as well-designed and crafted as the wings. For a costume-worthy haircut, it is worth trying temporary hair color or bold colors. Try different styles such a bubble braid or elaborate curl.

You can make a costume with a butterfly wing that will turn heads at your Halloween party. You can decorate your wings with any type of fabric and attach them to a shirt. Accessorizing with accessories like antennae and a hat can add a touch of elegance to your look. The best effect is achieved by choosing a wig which matches the colors of your wings. It is important to have a good time. Your butterfly costume will get you a lot of compliments. You might be the envy for all your friends.

Antennas

The butterfly antennae are an important part of any costume. They are essential for a butterfly's ability to perceive and sense their environment. Antennae resemble human fingers and are sensory organs. They have many joints which allow them to move fast and easily.

With pipe cleaners, craft bead and other materials, you can create your own homemade butterflies antennae. These are great additions for any butterfly craft or costume and are easy enough to do with school-aged kids.

First, cut the colored pipe cutters to the length you want. The pipe cleaners' length should correspond to the size of the costume or craft you are making. For an extra fun touch, place large craft beads on the ends of both your antennae. To secure the pipe cleaner ends, push them through the holes in the beads. Twist the wire around the beads to keep them in place. Make a spiral with the pipe cleaner ends, and wrap them around your tiara or headband to complete your butterfly costume.
