Fairy Tale Week

Rylan's class did a unit on fairy tales this week at school.  Ms. Melissa decided on Monday it would be fun for the kids to dress up as characters from fairy tales on Friday.

I threw out a few ideas to Rylan and he liked the idea of being a knight.  We don't have a knight costume and I decided to make one (even though now is the time of year it's pretty easy to find anything with Halloween only a month away).

I think it turned out pretty good.  I used a bucket spray painted silver for the helmet.  I added some feathers to the top and a slotted mask made from cardstock to the front.  I got some felt from Joanns for the chest plate.  I used cardboard for the shield and hot glued a milk jug handle to the back.  Rylan was really happy with his costume and that's all that really matters :)
