Someone wanted to be Cinderella for Halloween. And if she was going to be Cinderella, then she needed a crown AND a carriage.
The crown was easy.
The carriage was a bit trickier.
I checked Pinterest and came up with a plan based on the wheelchair this mom had made.
Once I started assembling ours though, we had a problem. If I built the carriage around the seat or enclosed the carriage at all, Ying couldn’t see to drive. Party foul and a moving violation!
So, I revamped my plans a bit and sent out an SOS text to my neighbor who came over to assist.
Here’s the final result (minus Cinderella in costume):
In case the Cinderella in your life needs a carriage, this is how we did it. I wrapped white crepe paper around two hula hoops. Then I wrapped tulle around the first hula hoop. I pulled the tulle through the center of the hoop and tied it into a pouf with a rubber band. I wrapped the tulle taut around the handle bar and then pulled the tulle through the second hula hoop. Then we zip tied the hula hoops to the chair and handle bar in four different places. (Once we had the zip ties in places, you couldn’t move the seat up and down.)
Finally, we used orange wired ribbon to tie off the poufs. Then I hot glued stars to the tulle. I used rubber bands to tie off the tulle so that we can recreate the carriage again for the school Halloween party and trick-or-treating.
Cinderella thought her costume was beautiful and her carriage divine!
Cinderella not what your princess had in mind? Here are a whole bunch of other wheelchair costume ideas.
