How to Make this Flamingo Costume:

Materials:

• Pink T-shirt
• 5 or 6 Pink Feather Boas
• Pink leggings or pants
• Black Felt 
• Scissors
• Safety Pins (and lots of them...)
• Bobby Pins
• Double Sided Tape

Instructions:

1. Safety pin boas to your pink shirt. Start by lining the neckline of the shirt all the way around, securing with safety pins where you see fit. (This is not an exact science!)
2. You can cut your boas into smaller pieces or keep them all in one piece. Keep adding boas and pinning them until your shirt is pretty well covered on the front. This is easiest to do when you are wearing the shirt so you can see how the boas hang.
3. Then add boas to the back of the shirt as well

Notes:

I didn't tie dye these pants, I bought them that way, but if you want to re-create them you can buy a tie dye kit or use Rit dye in petal pink to tie dye some white jeans or just get some pink leggings!

My friend suggested that we bobby pin some of the extra feathers that had fallen off the boas to the front of her hair, and that turned out really cute.  So easy!

How to Make a DIY Flamingo Beak for the Flamingo Costume

Materials:

Black Felt
Scissors
Glue Gun

1. Cut a piece of black felt into a triangle. 
2. Fold the front part down on the corners about halfway up, kind of like you fold wrapping paper when you're wrapping a present.

4. Add double-sided tape to the top and attach to your nose.
