how to 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.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • white long-sleeved shirt, tights, and gloves
  • headband
  • pink and white paper
  • long, white balloon or white tube sock
  • makeup
  • pink leotard, tutu, ballet slippers, and bow
  1. Step 1

    Angelina Ballerina is a white mouse, so wear a white long-sleeved shirt, white tights, and white gloves.

  2. Step 2

    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.

  3. Step 3

    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.

  4. Step 4

    With makeup draw three white whiskers on each cheek and a pink nose.

  5. Step 5

    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. Now you’re ready to dance and twirl like Angelina Ballerina!

Tips & Warnings
  • Check thrift stores and online to save money on the ballet accessories.
  • Sometimes Angelina Ballerina has a red rose pinned to her right above her tutu.
