This year, the younger generation chose to be a hummingbird and a vampire for Halloween. The hummingbird needed light-up wings.
I got the supplies at Goodwill. For the hummingbird, I got a pink shirt, pink trousers, and sheer purple for the wings. Sheerness is an important quality for the wings, because I added long, skinny pockets to the wings to accommodate glow sticks. I took a mask that I made last year for no apparent reason and added a beak made from a paper towel roll and some knit fabric.
For the vampire, I bought 3 XL size t-shirts at Goodwill and cut them up to make a dress.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Especially those glow-in-the-dark wings. You are making me sad that I no longer have young kids to costume anymore, and that’s saying something!!
Thanks! In the original post, I failed to mention the fit that my vampire pitched a fit because the first iteration of her makeup was “too white.” Maybe you won’t be so sad now.
Beautiful costumes. So nice Halloween wasn’t cancelled this year!
