Instructions
Make a Quick and Easy Princess Costume
1. Cut four stars and two 4" by 2" rectangles out of the posterboard. You can decorate all of these with glitter glue or leave them the color of the board.
2. Tie a large bunch of ribbons around the wooden spoon. This spoon is about to become a scepter, so you will no longer be able to cook with it.
3. Glue a star onto either side of the wooden spoon. You may need to press the stars in place for a few minutes to make sure the glue sets and holds.
4. Make a cone out of the other piece of posterboard. If you need to trim the bottom edges to make the bottom of the cone smooth, do so. This will be the princess hat, so be sure that the bottom of the cone fits snugly over the princess' head.
5. Glue the edges of the cone together so that the hat holds its shape. Press the glued edges together until the glue sets and holds.
6. Pull one of the scarves through the top of the cone. You can glue the scarf into place if you wish, but it will probably hold on its own.
7. Glue the remaining stars to the ends of the posterboard rectangles. Press the pieces of posterboard together until the glue has dried.
8. Have the princess put on the dress or long T-shirt. If she is wearing a T-shirt, then it needs to be long enough to work as a dress, or she will need to wear leggings underneath.
9. Secure the second colored scarf around the waist. Use the large lapel pin to add shine to the scarf and keep it from falling off.
10. Place the princess' hat on her head. The scarf should trail romantically behind her as she walks.
11. Paint the princess' face with the body glitter. Princesses create sparkle and life wherever they go, so make sure yours looks the part with a magically sparkly face.
12. Fold the starry rectangles over the top of your princess' shoes. The stars will turn her shoes into princess slippers. If she prefers to wear tennis shoes so that she can leap into action at a moment's notice, you can slip the folded part of the rectangle through the laces.
13. Have your princess hold the scepter majestically in her hand. It can also double as a magic wand.
14. Add any jewelry and other accessories that you desire. Now your princess is ready for the royal ball!
