If you're still looking for a Halloween costume for you and your boy, here is one everyone will love!
 
I did this last year and it looked adorable. The most time consuming part of this whole costume is surprisingly the mans part. Sewing that pillow took me a good 4 hours, but now I have it for many more Halloweens to come.
 
Girls, you of course want to look like a super-cute tooth fairy, so you will need everything pink, white and sparkly! I think what she did here looks best, but you can wear a pink tutu or a pink shirt or whatever you choose, the possibilities are endless! You need a top, either a tank, a sweater, a long-sleeved shirt, etc, just keep it simple. Then, you will need a tutu, stockings, a tiara, wings, a wand and some shoes. I wore a cute sparkly pair of ballet flats, but that's probably the least important part of the costume anyways! Find a super sparkly, super girly wand and cut out a tooth from paper to attach to it. If you're not standing by your man the whole time, people may get a little confused as to what you may be, so the wand will make it clear. That's all for the girls! When I did this last year I wore a white long-sleeved tee, a white tutu, pink stockings, sparkly flats, a tiara, wings and a tooth wand, but style it however you want, because you'll look like a super stylin' fairy regardless.
 
For the guys, you may want to start making their costumes NOW because it takes a little while! Usually, our men don't know how to sew, so we get stuck with making the entire costume, but we have to make sacrifices if we want to look great, right? What you need for him is 4 pillows (2 long, 2 short), a white sheet, a sewing kit and a crown (optional). The men can really wear whatever they want underneath because the tooth takes up most of their body anyways. To make the tooth, sew the edges of one long pillow and one short pillow together, then cut the long pillow at the bottom so that it makes it look like the roots of the teeth, shown in the picture, and sew those cuts shut. It's easiest to do that by taking some of the stuffing out of the pillow, but make sure you don't take too much. Do this for the other 2 pillows as well and the attach them so they make a box. Last step is to sew the sheet onto all the pillows tightly and cut holes for the arms and head, so it covers all the seems and makes a perfect pearly white.

Go wow all the guests of your Halloween party by making your very own Tooth & Tooth Fairy costume!
