Homemade Bee Halloween Costume For Kids

You have decided to dress up your five year old into the sweetest bee Halloween costume for kids for this year's costume event. You can design the most magnificent outfit for your little daughter; it only takes some patience and a few good accessories.

Here are a few of the accessories that you will need. First, you need a yellow dress. It has to be a sleeveless little dress, which has a layered style bottom. Alternatively, you can combine a nice yellow top with a cute layered skirt of the same color.

Next, you will start accessorizing the Halloween costume for kids. You need to bring to life the plain yellow dress. This is why you need to work with the following accessories: daisy or rose fabric appliques, black and silver sequin beads, and you will also need black satin.

With the help of satin, you will first create the stripes for the costume. Cut out equal length and width sized sheets from the black satin. You will glue or sew these alongside the chest line of the top. Start from above, and continue until the waistline, where the skirt begins.

Just remember to leave around one or one and a half inch distance between these sheets. Now, you can see your Halloween costume for kids come to life. On the margins of each black stripe, you will sew one row of black sequin beads.

It will definitely take some time, but you will see in the end that it was worth the effort. If the little dress has shoulder stripes, you will decorate these with silver sequin beads. If it has short sleeves, you can add a cute ruffled detail out of lace or organza, just to make the dress even more stylish.

Right at the bottom line of the skirt, you will also add two or three rows of silver and black sequin beads. Let your imagination flow, and make a beautiful pattern at the bottom line of the skirt.

Pick out two small sized fabric roses, and apply them at each shoulder, or better, right to the spot where the stripes of the dress begin. Also, place one bigger sized flower applique onto the skirt. You can place it on the left or right side of the dress. Your little daughter will look like a wonderful summer bouquet and a bee princess at the same time, in her new Halloween costume for kids.
