Costume Upcycle: Twilight Fairy to Rave Fairy
Costume: Twilight Fairy
Difficulty level: Super Easy
Crafting skills needed: Basic sewing skills or know how to use safety pins/double sided tape
Being the first of the upcycle series, I decided to make this costume re-do extremely easy. No sewing skills are needed. This one is all about sizing. The iridescent colors and tattered hemline reminded me of the 2000's fashion revival that's going on right now. Especially at music festivals and raves. I decided to turn it into a Rave fairy and style it similarly to outfits you'd see at festivals like Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival.

- Festivals are usually in the desert or during the summer. It's going to be hot. People are usually in as little clothes possible or covered up to protect their skin from the sun.
- If you aren't dealing with the blinding sun, you're most likely standing in a field with flying dust and dirt. Eye protection is key. The more fun and unique the better!
- Space buns! I just love the hairstyle and it's easy for me to recreate.
- Bright colors and glitter are always a plus
The Result
BRB, looking for the next stage to hit
I decided to lose the choker and glovelettes just because I would not want them in the desert heat!
So what do you think? Am I ready for Coachella 2020?
