How Do You Make An Angelina Ballerina Costume?

Angelina Ballerina, or Angelina Mouseling, is a mouse who loves to dance ballet. Created by author Katharine Holabird and illustrator Helen Craig, Angelina Ballerina was first a book series and is now a TV series. And Angelina Ballerina can be a cute, easy costume as well. Angelina Ballerina is a white mouse, so wear a white long-sleeved shirt, white tights, and white gloves. For ears, buy a thin, neutral-colored headband and pink and white paper at the dollar store. Cut out large white ears and smaller pink ears. Glue the pink ears on the white ears to make the inner ear. Make Angelina's tail by inflating a long, white balloon (the kind used to make balloon animals) and tying it around your waist with string. Another option is to pin a stuffed white tube sock to your costume. With makeup draw three white whiskers on each cheek and a pink nose. Finish the costume with a pink leotard, pink tutu, and pink ballet slippers. Tie a pink bow in your hair, or tie or glue it to the headband. ...  more
