Another very important part of a Tinkerbell costume is the wings. If you don't have any at home, the simplest thing is to make them with white cardboard that you can cut out and hang with white cord, or with some wire and white cloth. If possible, decorate the wings with some cotton or some other bright element to make it look better.

Regarding footwear, wearing some ballet pumps will be enough. If you have any that you no longer use, you can spray paint them green and put a white pompom on the top. If you don't have any ballet pumps to paint, you can use the leftover fabric from the shirt to cover your shoes.

Finally, a very important part of this DIY Tinkerbell costume is the make-up and hairstyle. Try to make a top knot. If you aren't blonde, there's no need to buy a wig. Make a bow with a piece of blue ribbon and tie it around the knot to look just like Tinkerbell.

Regarding make-up, use very light colors for your cheeks and light or silver colors for your eye shadow, use a fair share of mascara or add some fake eyelashes to make them flicker.. Use some pink or coral blush on your cheeks to create a naive look. Paint your lips in a light pink or nude hue and your homemade Tinkerbell costume will be ready.
