Okay, so this isn’t a super-cheap Halloween costume idea, but many of the components are things you can find at the dollar store, and the finished look is worth every penny. Plus, this little girl is just too adorable not to share! Her mom is Jennae from Green Your Decor, who searched through hundreds of ideas before settling on a costume that both a) her daughter liked, and b) she thought she would be able to pull off. Inspiration struck when she saw a photo of a peacock, and the rest is crafty history! [how to make a peacock costume]
Project estimate:
- Peacock feathers, about $30 and up
- Tulle (or bath scrubbers), on hand or $1 and up
- Ribbon, on hand or $1
- Feather boa, $1
- Fabric, on hand or $1 and up
- Trim, on hand or $1 and up
- Mask, $1 and up
- Beads, on hand or $1 and up
- Headband, $1
- Leotard, about $5 and up
- Tights, on hand or $1 and up
- Hot glue, on hand
Total: about $38 and up

That is adorable!!
I bet if one wanted to minimize the cost, one could also use more tulle in the tail-feather area, and just accent with a few peacock feathers here and there. Really cute idea, and the little girl is so pretty in this outfit! I bet she loved it.

I want to know what dollar store you found the peacock feathers at
