elfcore magnolia costume

Elfcore embraces the imagination of the fantasy world of elves with outfits that look like they stepped right out of a storybook! Use leaves and flowers to create the basis for this costume, then use your imagination for additional touches.

Print Project

Step 1

Cut the collar off a t-shirt, then cut the neckline into a V-neck.

Step 2

Cut the hems off of both sleeves and the bottom of the shirt.

Step 3

Cut slits up the sleeves to make fringe.

Step 4

To make the skirt, measure a length of ribbon to fit around your waist with enough extra to tie a bow.

Step 5

Determine the length for your skirt, then cut pieces from your garland into that length. Lay the ribbon out flat on your work surface and glue the garland pieces to the front middle area of the ribbon.
TIP: You can use felt to help reinforce the areas on the ribbon where you attached the floral pieces.

Step 6

Cut apart your bush and glue the various flowers and leaves within the garland portion of the skirt.
