Easy Vampirina Kid's Costume Tutorial for Halloween
Introduction: 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)

Old Headband
Step 1: Create Your Spiderweb Pattern
1. Place your blank black singlet and skirt on a flat surface
2. With a ruler and a white washable sewing pencil, draw a line straight down the centre of your skirt
3. 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
4. Repeat on the back of the skirt
5. Starting at the bottom of the skirt, hand draw curve lines from one straight line to the next
6. Repeat all the way around the skirt
7. Work your way up the skirt evenly, each curve will be smaller as you go up
8. With puff paint, start tracing over your lines. I used a silver glitter colour
9. 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
11. Repeat the above steps on to the singlet top
