My husband and myself were driving back from Disney World and while the kids were sleeping, we were brainstorming on ideas for costumes. Every year we have a big Halloween costume party and wanted to be something different. I thought I wanted to be something cute, so I said what if I were Tinkerbell & you were Peter Pan in tights. Funny for him, cute for me! But he added the twist, what if he were Tink and I was Peter Pan, and the rest made history. Everyone was laughing the whole night!
My Peter Pan costume is just made of Dark Green Felt that I cut and laced up with green cross-stitch thread. I felted my own slippers and my hat was also made of felt.
Tink was a little harder, but the result was great. I took a long sleeve white shirt and dyed it a fleshy color. Then, with my mother-in-law’s help we sewed a green piece to it, in the shape of Tink’s dress. I bought a wig and added a little leftover fabric with some sequins.
The shoes are cheap deck shoes from Wall-Mart, that I dyed and added a pomp-pom to. What do you think?
This is one of the best costumes I have ever seen!
I have been looking at lots of costumes on this site and this is my favorite so far. How cool your husband must be!!
You have inspired me! You two are awesome..wish I knew you I’m sure we’d have some laughs together! Thanks for the great idea!
This is absolutely the most hilarious couple’s costume yet. Every time I look at the picture, I have to laugh. Showed it to my husband (who’s also a big guy) for this year’s Halloween party and he was all for it!! Putting it together now. Found some kid’s fairy wings at a rummage sale, too.
You inspired me… my husband is as cool as yours and agreed to go as Tink! Can’t wait for the party, I’m sure it will be a hit!
