Fairy princess costume

What you'll need

• Two large white rubbish bags
• Masking tape
• White paper or fabric
• White yarn
• Tracing paper
• Silver or gold paper
• Thick white craft paper

Background
Transform rubbish bags into a special princess costume.

What to do

1. Cut a round neck opening in the bottom of one bag. Slit it in the back to fit over the head. Slit open the sides of the bag.
2. Overlap the sides to form seams and tape on inner sides creating sleeves in the process.
3. Cut a scalloped edge around the open end of the bag.
4. Cut a collar from white paper or fabric. Punch corresponding holes in the front yoke and lace with yarn.
5. Trace the star pattern and cut it out. Outline the pattern on silver or gold paper. Cut out enough stars to decorate dress and hat. Glue stars on dress and collar.
6. Form a cone to fit the head from the thick paper. Staple together. Glue remaining stars on cone.
7. Cut the second rubbish bag in half along the sides and bottom. Use one panel as the veil of the hat.
8. Stuff one end of the veil into the seam near the top of the cone. Secure with tape on the inside.
9. Punch a hole at each side of the hat and add yarn ties.
