Creating an angel costume can be a simple yet elegant way to express your angelic side. This easy-to-make ensemble is a great choice for holidays, parties, or any occasion that calls for a little divine intervention. Just follow these nine steps to make a beautiful angel costume that will have you looking heavenly in no time.

1. Gather materials: Before you begin, gather all the necessary supplies. You’ll need a white outfit (dress, tunic, or shirt and pants), white and/or gold fabric for the wings and halo, scissors, hot glue gun, elastic or ribbon, gold pipe cleaners or wire, and any embellishments like glitter or sequins.

2. Make the base of your outfit: Start by choosing a white base for your costume. A long white dress looks especially ethereal but wearing a tunic with white pants or leggings works just as well. This will be the foundation for your angel costume.

3. Create the wings: To create the wings, first decide on the desired size and shape. Cut two identical wing shapes from the white fabric, making sure they are symmetrical. Next, attach them together with hot glue or sewing them along the edges.

4. Add support: To give your wings more structure and stability, cut out two smaller wing shapes from cardboard or foam board and glue them onto the back of your fabric wings.

5. Attach elastic: Cut two pieces of elastic or ribbon long enough to comfortably go around your shoulders like backpack straps. Attach one end of each piece to the top corners of your wings using hot glue or sewing them on securely.

6. Create embellishments: Decorate your wings by adding glitter, sequins, feathers, or even small LED lights for a heavenly glow. Be as creative as you’d like in customizing your wings to match your vision of an angel.

7. Fashion a halo: Twist together gold pipe cleaners or wire into a circle that’s big enough to fit around your head. To give the halo more structure, you may want to double up the pipe cleaners or wire. Leave a small section unwrapped on both ends to attach the halo to a headband or ribbon.

8. Attach the halo: Use hot glue or thread to attach your halo to a white headband or ribbon that will be comfortable to wear. Be sure it is securely fastened so it doesn’t slide off during wear.

9. Complete the look: Put on your white angelic outfit and step into the wings, sliding the elastic straps over your shoulders. Then place the halo on your head, making any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit.

Now you’re all set with your angel costume! Enjoy spreading cheer and gracing any event with your celestial presence.
