*** Check out our post here for more cute and unique baby boy costumes****
Yes, I am the kind of parent who really LOVES to coordinate my kids Halloween costumes. I can totally see us being the family that all dresses up together someday! Today I am sharing the Halloween costume I used last year when my little girl was a baby.
I love using the headband because it gives a pop of color, fits right to baby’s body and it stretches for comfort. You simply cut enough tulle to tie knots within most all of the holes on the bottom row of the headband. I layered sparkly blue, sparkly green, and regular teal together. The length should be the length of baby from waist to toe, plus about 8 inches. Once you loop all of the tulle, fluff the tulle then measure down to the bottom of where the toes would be and use a thin rubber band to gather the tulle and create the tail effect. I used a small piece of tulle to wrap around the rubber band to cover it. Isn’t the glitter tulle super fun?! Glitter did get EVERYWHERE, but it was worth it to get that beautiful shimmer on her tutu. 
To make the sea shell top, simply get a second head band and glue the seashells to it! So easy!! We wore this costume just as in the picture while it was warm out and then when it cooled down we added a long sleeved onesie and pants underneath. We are still deciding on our Halloween costumes for this year! I would love to hear what you are dressing your kids up as in the comments below!

Ok so I am going attempt making all of my children’s Halloween costumes this year and LOVE this one for my newborn. However, I am new to this, could you tell me how much tulle I will need of each of the three colors. Just need to know what to tell the lady when she asks how many feet/yards I need. 🙂 Thanks in advance.
Kimber says
Hi Courtney- I am so glad you like the costume! It is one of my all time favorites! They sell the tulle at Hobby Lobby and JoAnns and prob most other craft stores on spools that are 25 yards for around $5 (you can get a great deal with a coupon!). I think I used about 3 full spools on this project. Let me know if you have other questions.
Kate says
This is MUCH easier then the way that I was trying to do this!!! SOOO glad I decided to search one last time before I got started. I already sewed up a tail so might just stuff the tulle in where I was going to attach it to the “skirt” (that I was still trying to get to come together right lol). Best thing Hobby Lobby has the tulle on a spool 40%off this week!
Kimber says
I am so glad you searched too! Thanks for finding us and leaving a note! I get myself in serious trouble with those HL sales!!!

Oh my goodness! I just made this and it is too cute. I was so not prepared for all this glitter though haha. Think I’ll be finding glitter all over my house for a few weeks.
Kimber says
Haha! I know! The glitter was absolutely out of control. I probably should have put a warning label on the post 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
