    Transform the little one into a tooth fairy with classic props like a toothbrush and broomstick. Add wings and a DIY-ed tiara for extra flair.
  • Pilot uniform
    Make a pilot’s badge with felt, stars, and shields. Add a cap covered with Mason jar lids to create a charming Amelia Earhart costume.
