This little tree is the Queen of the forest


This week  they are celebrating  children's day   in my daughter's school.  This tree costume is for the fancy dress competition . 

 In the top I have used two different shades of brown for the body and sleeve. I painted with fabric colors to make it look like the trunk of the tree.



Then I stitched the top. For the pant I managed with the brown color tracksuit.


The branches and leaves were not that much easy to make. I first made it with a thermocol.


In this I made a mistake, you can notice one side is very thin than the other. when I fix this in her face to check whether it fits, it break down. The thermocol is not very flexible.Then I made the other one with cardboard and chart paper. It will be easy to paint in the chart than the cardboard. So I pasted the chart over the cardboard.


 and painted with fabric colors, outlined it with black.



I also attached a cord behind it, so that it can be  tied  around the head and hands.

    Lovely queen is so sweet. Its bit hard to do it with thermacol. But the leaves are very realistic and nice. The top adds reality to the tree which fits perfectly as branch.the small red fruit is also nice. Very nice work.

    You did a great job with this tree costume! Your little daughter looks adorable in it!

    Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. The answer to your questions about the butterflies on my Christmas tree is "NO" I did not make them, but I recycled them. They were originally garden stakes to decorate the flower beds and someone discarded them, so I decided to use them to beautify my tree. I'm so glad I kept them because I think they look perfect with all my white and silver ornaments.

    Have a wonderful week :-)
    Doris
