I made a whimsical MOTH FAIRY costume (I did it for the moths) ✨🧚🌿

For centuries, butterflies have stolen the spotlight… but no longer. RISE UP, FELLOW FRIENDS OF THE MOTHS! (PS I am not pretending to be the first person to make a moth fairy or make moth wings, I've seen and been inspired by lots of beautiful moth inspired fairy costumes! But it still remains a very underdone concept imo!) In this video, I'm attempting to transform a thrifted outfit into a dark fantasy moth fairy costume inspired by emperor moths in just one week so I can make it to my local ren faire (also the only ren faire I'm able to attend since travel is so expensive!). Since I knew I'd need time to get this video done, I only had five days to finish the whole thing. The event is coming up soon! Hoping to post some pics afterwards! 💜 Please let me know in the comments (and with a like!) if you're interested in this kind of content. I honestly had the most fun I've ever had making a video and would love to make more but I don't know if it's something people are interested in! ALSO give us all your yummy moth facts please and thank you ☺️ SUBSCRIBE for more fantasy crafting, whimsical DIYs, and general chaos--and for my upcoming home makeover series (I can't say too much but more fairies may be involved).
