Use bubble wrap and cupcake liners to create an undersea beauty with shimmering flippers and a shiny tiara.
- 3 yards bubble wrap
- 3 yards iridescent wrapping paper
- Silver cupcake liners
- 1/2 yard sequined elastic
- 2 paper plates
- Plastic headband
- Blue leotard and tights
Dress:1. Cut two 2-foot pieces of bubble wrap and glue iridescent wrapping paper behind them, so color shows through.
2. Before gluing the pieces of bubble wrap together for a dress: Trim pieces along the sides at the top, tapering them to fit snugly around your child's chest. Trim the bottoms of both pieces into a point just below the knees.
3. Glue bubble wrap together at the edges to create a tube dress.
4. Glue edges of cupcake liners to top of dress, as shown. Glue on 2 pieces sequined elastic for straps.
Tail: Cut crescents from two plates; glue on wrapping paper to cover. Glue crescents together to form a tail, then glue to bottom of dress.
Tiara: Glue cupcake liners to headband.
