Ragged Blossom Costume

i suggest you search ragged blossom on the net, or snugglepot & cuddlepie books. The top could just be a T-shirt cut into triangles at the bottom and put a net petticoat underneath it or the fairy costume as you already said. The top should be green and the skirt which is just petals a pink, or yellow or red or something pretty. You could make the skirt out of crepe paper petals which are basically elongated semi-circles, or you could use a firmer material from a fabric shop, even tulle would do, as you can cut it and it doesn't fray. For the hat, use an old baseball cap to give you the head coverage. take off the peak (which is easy to do, just cut it off), cover it in fabric in a green to make it look like an upside down bud, then buy some felt, (get it by the metre from spotlight or somewhere) and cut petal shapes as described earlier. These can be glued on underneath the base (use a clear craft glue, but use plenty of glue, or simply tack on.) Then us a few green tiangles to make it look like a calyx and put over the top of the petals. email me if you need anymore info. Chris Cheers Christine Ellis
