Jewelry Box Ballerina Costume

by Tiffany
(Virginia)

I was sitting at home one day and my daughter's jewelry box was on the table in front of me, I opened it up and saw the ballerina dancing and I thought "that's what I want to make her for Halloween".

We covered the box in shelf liner that made it look like wood, cut hole in middle for her to stand in, made a drawer to go on front, put heart shaped piece of aluminum foil on lid to represent mirror, made shelves with jewelry attached inside, and to top it off we rigged up some speakers and attached her ipod with a "ballerina song" that played when she came out of box to dance.
