If you have decided to dress up your 10, 12 or 24 month old in a Baby Ladybug Costume, you can be sure that she will attract all the admiration from friends and family alike. There is nothing more wonderful than seeing your baby girl crawling and impressing everybody with her smile and baby talk dressed up as a darling ladybug. Accessories for this kind of outfits and for such small babies are not too many. However, there is always one little piece of item you can attach here and there, which will make the costume even more delightful.

You have definitely assorted the Baby Ladybug Costume with a pair of very comfortable baby shoes. In order to make it in tone with the polka dot dress she is wearing, you can add some tiny black polka dots to it. You should choose a pair of red baby shoes, on which you can attach some black dots. If she wears white shoes, you can attach red dots to it. It does not matter that there are no white ladybugs with red dots, you can make color combinations of red white and black when you want to create a ladybug outfit.

If your choice of a baby ladybug costume has arrived without wings, you can design a pair of comfortable wings for your darling. You can use carton paper as the main material for the wings. First, you should draw a heart shaped pattern on the carton. You can draw a smaller heart, or a much bigger one, depending on how big you want the wings to be. Then, you will fold the heart at the middle, so that you will obtain a wing like shape.

Next, you will coat the wings. Use a red fabric, like satin or velvet. Either you will use glue to fit the fabric to the carton, or you can also sew the material to it. Use a black fabric, draw some big sized polka dots on it, and then cut out each of these. Then, you will glue the dots onto the heart shaped ladybug wings. Now you have obtained a pair of wings, which will match the Baby Ladybug Costume just perfectly.

Your little darling is ready to crawl around and enchant everybody with her new ladybug looks and style! Do not forget to attach to her angelic hair a nice ladybug hairpin or a deep red ribbon headband.
