![]() The air dry clay is perfect because it’s lightweight. For Twilight’s ears and horn, I used simple $2 air dry clay that I found at a craft store (Crayola Model Magic could also work), sculpted the shapes, let them dry, painted them purple, and hot glued them to a purple headband. Then I hot glued them around the wire wings and stuffed them with cotton. I looked at a reference picture of Twilight’s wings and cut pieces of felt out to match. Twilight’s wings were made using dollar fairy wings as a base, then I just cut the wire into lines that could be bent as needed. This is helpful for when the baby is in a car seat and you don’t want the tail in the way! (A reference picture of Spike was helpful!) For Spike’s tail, I used a second onesie in the same color and cut it into a triangle, then used the onesie’s snaps to attach it to the rear end. I also cut out wiggly ear shapes and put them on the hat. The spikes were stuffed with cotton and sewed on by hand. Next, I cut out a large green oval and triangles for spikes and sewed them to the onesie and the hat, using purple embroidery thread to create scale lines on the belly. Then I found cute purple accessories to spiff up my Twilight outfit at 99 cents, like leg warmers, fishnets, and a dress up tutu. I found a purple onesie and beanie hat at 99 cents only, and bought a large adult size tee shirt to use for the spikes. I found old brown clogs and repainted them purple with acrylic paints, even adding a diamond cutie mark. ![]() For Spike’s costume, I looked for baby clothes in purple, and found some cute pants. I even found purple pants! Had I not found any, I had planned on choosing white clothes and possibly dying them. Twilight Sparkle’s character is a little geeky, so I picked out a cute sweater vest for a “schoolgirl” kind of look. First, I found as many purple and lavender items of clothing as possible in my size. Wanting to stay within a small budget, I bought most of the costume materials (except for the wig that was Ebay) from the local 99 cent store and Goodwill. ![]() Inspired by My Little Pony, this costume features a. Now that I’m finally a mom (we adopted our son this year and were so excited for his first Halloween) I thought it would be cute to do a mom/baby costume that was cute for both of us, and as a big My Little Pony fan, I had the perfect option… Twilight Sparkle the unicorn and Spike the baby dragon! And our proportional size difference worked in our favor. Dress up your little one in the magic of friendship with this adorable Infant Twilight Sparkle Costume.
