Alexa as The Little Mermaid





Over the summer I wanted to make Alexa a tutu and bought all the materials but just never got around to it. As Halloween crept closer Alexa kept saying she didn't know what she wanted to dress up as. Then she remembered the tutu and decided she wanted to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I showed her some costumes of Arial at Target and some online and she kept insisting that I make it. So, here is my best effort and my first effort of making a tutu and a Halloween costume. I actually really enjoyed making it and it really was easy and fun to do.

Hi Jen,

I didn't have any instructions,just winged it. You can't tell from the photos, but the back is green ( supposed to be her tail) and it has beads and sparkles on it too. I will have some more pics of it after Halloween night.
