Aisling is Wicked!!

Aisling and her older sister Brianna entered a costume competition with Bord Gais where you had to dress up as a character from a musical.
They dressed up as characters from "Wicked" and found out this morning that they won!
They now have a year-long family pass to every musical, and to top it off, they will be on Ireland A.M tomorrow morning at 8.30a.m.

Aisling says: "we made the backdrop by getting a tablecloth and painted a clock on, then with paper we made buildings. For my costume we got an old skirt and old top and then put on pieces of black crepe paper and then added some different colours of paint.  We made small paper fans for the top and used strips of crepe paper then we made a witch out of card and we had a broom stick in the house that we used. Finally for the cape we used a bin bag. For my sister's costume she wore a blue dress that my mother wore for our uncle's wedding. We then added on some sleeves of tuile which we got from an old dress-up costume, then we had to get a wig for Brianna. We then made a necklace out of these styrofoam balls, cut them in half and put gems and glitter on it, then we used the other half for the wand. For the wand we used a wand we already had and added the the half of the ball and added gems and glitter again. We cut out pieces of paper, coloured them blue, added glitter, stuck them on, then wrapped the wand in silver pipe cleaners. Then we found an old crown and stuck gems on again a lot of glitter and gems as you can see. I went as Elphaba and Brianna went as Glinda.
