MAKING THE TUTU SKIRT
1. Buy 4 yards of fabric (1yard in each colour)
2. Cut into strips, aprox 6 inches long, length of fabric should be double of your skirt length
3. fold it into half like how i did in the photo
4. Sew across the top of the fold area so you can slot an elastic band through
Remember to alternate the colours, like purple, dark pink, lightpink..then repeat..purple, dark pink etc..
I picked a softer fabric instead of the tutu mesh, so my skirt turned out pretty flat after i was done slotting it.
So I tied a knot at the end of every strip.
Oh yah, if you're lazy like me, just secure both ends of the elastic band with a safety pin =D
MAKING THE CANDY HAT
1. Pick a hat you'll like to discard
2. Fold a drawing block into a cone shape and sew the ends to the hat
3. Stick a thin layer of cotton wool all around
4. Buy random styrofoam shapes from ARTFRIEND
5. Plan how you'll like to place your centre piece (GUMMY BEAR!)
6. Start painting with ACRYLIC paint
7. Glue them all together with a GLUE GUN, be very generous with your glue.
MAKE UP + WIG!
CANDY GIRL ALL READY TO GO!
The top wasnt sewn to the tutu, it basically just remaining strips of fabric from the tutu tied/'safety-pined' together.
My buddy Ying was the hottest Avatar that night!
She did her makeup on her own but rented the costume for S$90.
