I’ve got 2 raccoon tails made- I will be attaching them to a costume that was a mouse. I need to do the ears.

costume progress- crowns
I am making the crowns out of pipe cleaners and beads and craft foam. The first thing I did was play with the pipe cleaners and beads, putting them together with floral tape. I am thinking this will be the evil queen, step-mother crown.
Here are all 5 crowns- I put some designs on them with dimensional fabric paint. This is my “spray booth”- outside in a cardboard box. Only one has the beads and wire attached at this point.
Here they all are- gold and very smelly.

Next Tuesday is dress rehearsal, so I have one week to get everybody dressed! Things are going well on the costuming project- 72 kids, 3rd to 5th graders, most with 2 costumes. The hardest part is when we need to try things on. We called all the ladies-in-waiting and the narrators to stay for half an hour after rehearsal, to try on dresses- 28 exhausted girls, mobbing me. I am not good at this part of the project.
I am working on armor for one of the boys, and I’ll make the 5 crowns that we need. This is the most fun and creative part for me.
What I love about doing costumes- This is the only time in my life that I can play with fake flowers and metalic spray paint!
I’ll post pictures when there is anything together enough to show.
