Tinkerbell Running Costume

Fitness Fashion· Fun

12 May

Hello! Now I am not crafty or one of those Pinterest super stars that can make 5 layer cupcakes and sew their own dresses. But I can put together a pretty okay Run Disney costume on the cheap and easy. Here is my Tinkerbell Running Costume from the Tinkerbell Half Marathon…

First I went to the store with a couple of ideas for a Disney inspired running costume. Since I’m not super artistic I figured I would work with whatever they had so I was open anything from Belle to Tiger.

I spotted a green sparkly shirt in the little girl’s section of the store on clearance for $5.00. After some research on my phone I decided to be Tinkerbell and work around this green skirt.

Tinkerbell Costume from top to bottom:

Tink has a bun and bangs. I wore my hair in a dew drop ponytail up super high and a sparkly head band. I used 2 rubberbands to help it stay.

I got a light green tank top.

I found fairy wings and wand in the toy section of the store for $7.00. They were on the small side – but that is perfect for running 13.1 miles! You don’t want to run with big ol’ wings hitting you and everyone around you.

I wore the light green skirt over non-chafe running shorts. Sparkle Athletic is a great option for running skirts and Disney costumes for runner!

Green Pro Compression low socks.

HOKA ONE ONE running shoes.

The final un-pictured MUST HAVE part of this costume…

GLITTER!!! Aka Pixie Dust. You need it.

I sprinkled it all over myself. Now it’s all over my car, house, cat… but again, necessary.

To secure the wings – Don’t wear them around your arms. Tie them to your tank top. Then, pin each side to the tank. Bend the wings back very slightly so they are out of your way and to make them more aerodynamic.

Now I’m off to vacuum the glitter of the cat…

Question: On a scale of 1 to 10 – 1 being you’re the worst, 10 being you are Martha Stewart…

How crafty are you?

      Super cute outfit!

      I’m not very crafty at all, unless coloring pretty pictures counts?

      I ran in that half marathon! I was looking for you but didn’t see you – there were sooo many people. We just had tutus, but if I go next year, I’m going to go all out. There were so many fantastic costumes.

      Such a cute costume– so clever! I’m probably a 5 on the scale of craftiness… I can do it but don’t do anything crafty often.

      I am super crafty but hate glitter for the exact reason you mentioned….it is just always there no matter how much you vacuum.

      You make a very convincing tinker belle.

      Every year for Halloween I was a princess and it was the only excuse I had to use spray glitter all over me. It was magical.

      I like to think I’m crafty, but really I like to buy needlepoint kits and paint-by-numbers paintings and coloring books and follow those guidelines.

      I’m crafty like “LOOK OVER THERE!” whilst I steal a cookie out your hand. But crafty like making things? Big fat zero.

      But that’s okay; my husband somehow sees craft as an extension to DIY which works just fine for me. He makes cushions, takes up clothing and would no doubt gladly make me a Tinkerbell outfit.

      If you’ve got a dog, why bark? 🙂

      I’m pretty close to a 10 in the Martha Stewart department, but I’m with you on simple/cheap running costumes. I ran the Princess Half in Orlando in February, and there were some ELABORATE costumes and makeup!! I can’t have a bunch of stuff hanging all over me when I run, and I also don’t believe in spending a fortune on an outfit you’re only going to sweat in for a few hours.

      I would say on a scale of 1-10, I’m a 6ish for craftiness.

      Also, I hate glitter. Glitter is like the herpes of the craft world.

        My husband hates HATES glitter. I’m pretty sure he will love this description.
