Boys are bunnies, girls are snowflakes

Costumes of bunnies and snowflakes familiar from childhood are still relevant today. In the classic version, the dress for the Snowflake costume should be white or blue with a short but fluffy skirt. You can buy it ready-made. But it's easier to do it yourself, even if you don't know how to sew at all.

How to make a Snowflake dress:

1. The easiest way to make the top of the dress is from an elastic lace lace 20–35 cm wide, depending on the child's height. Measure the length of the tape equal to the chest circumference. Stitch the edges. You will get an elastic bodice.

   

   Sew the edges of the elastic, you get an elastic topic

2. It is better to make a tutu skirt from tulle. It is slim, smart and holds its shape well. It is more convenient to purchase a ready-made tape 15–20 cm wide, but you can also buy a piece of fabric. True, in the latter case, you will have to work more with scissors, cutting the material into strips.

   

   Printed tulle with silver snowflakes looks very elegant

3. Cut the tape into 60 cm lengths. The total number of strips is about 50 pieces. You can use different types of tulle: plain, printed, with sequins. And alternate them when making a skirt.

   

   Make blanks for the skirt by measuring and cutting the tulle tape

4. Fold the tulle strip in half and pass the folded side through the holes on the elastic.

   

   Pass the tape into the hole on the elastic from the fold side

5. Insert the ends of the strip into the loop formed and tighten the knot.

   

   Spread the loop with your hands and thread the free ends of the strip into it

6. In the same way, tie the rest of the tulle strips to the elastic.

   

   Tie all the strips to the bottom edge of the elastic - you get a tutu skirt

7. Dress shoulders can also be made from tulle strips by gathering them at the edges and sewing them to an elastic band.

   

   Shoulder straps can also be made of tulle

8. You can decorate the dress with voluminous snowflakes, sequins, rhinestones.

   

   You can decorate the dress with a voluminous snowflake made using the kanzashi technique

It is easier to make only a tulle skirt

Use a hairpin, headband or hoop with snowflakes and sparkles to decorate your hair. They will highlight the theme of the costume.

The image of a snowflake will complement the hoop decorated with rain

How to make a Bunny costume for a boy:

1. Winter hares are characterized by a white color, so for a suit it is better to choose clothes (pants and a turtleneck) in a snow-white version. It is good if the material of things is with a small nap.

   

   The "Bunny" costume consists of three items: a shirt, pants and a headdress

2. A summer bunny in a gray suit can also come to a New Year's fairy tale. If it is difficult to find pants of a suitable color, you can dress the boy in black pants or shorts, while it is still better to choose a white shirt. You can add bright accents to the image, for example, a bow tie or a belt in a contrasting color.

   

   Bunnies can be different

3. A special detail is the bunny ears. To make them, you first need to print a template or make a pattern yourself by drawing the ears on plain white paper.

   

   Print a template - it will help you make a hat for a bunny

4. Glue the template onto a thick piece of cardboard and cut it out. Then cover the ears with a white cloth and secure with a hoop or elastic. You can also make a hat with bunny ears.

   

   Bunny ears can be attached to the hoop

Bunnies are not only boys

Penguin - a symbol of winter and the north

If you do not have a tailcoat that best suits the suit of a northern representative, you can do this:

1. Take as a basis a vest and black shorts. Complete them with a white shirt or pita. It is these two colors that are characteristic of penguins.

   

   Black shorts and vest can be used for the Penguin suit

2. A penguin's headdress can be made from an ordinary black hat by pasting a fabric applique on it: eyes and beak.

   

   A good part of the costume will be a "Penguin" hat

3. Instead of a hat, you can make a penguin mask. Print the template in triplicate and cut out each piece (black, white and yellow) from the appropriate fabric color. And then sequentially stick them on top of each other or fasten with a blind seam.

   

   The penguin mask is very easy to make

Penguin jumpsuit will give your child real joy

Piglet is the main character of 2019

Since the coming year will pass under the symbol of the yellow pig, it is better to choose clothes for a suit in this color. But if you wish, you can give preference to traditional pink shades. Complete the look with a mask or piggy headdress. A carnival hat can be made from fur, felt or flannel by adding decorative eyes (sold in sewing stores) and stuffing the patch with cotton wool or padding polyester.

A little patience and skill and the soft material will turn into the image of a pig

For a piglet, you can sew a long jumpsuit that covers all parts of the body as much as possible

The piggy vest can even be made for a pet

Fairies, stars and dolls

Having one beautiful dress, you can make a number of costumes for a girl, which will differ only in decoration and accessories, but at the same time fully reflect the intended image.

• So, in the arsenal of a fairy must have a magic wand. It can be done, for example, by wrapping a regular pencil or pointer in foil and attaching a decorative star or snowflake at one end.

  

  If you have a magic wand in your hand, then you have a fairy

• Organza wings stretched over a wire frame will help create the image of an elf girl.

  

  An elf girl should have wings

• And if you fix the "antennae" twisted at the ends into spirals on the hair hoop, you get a butterfly costume.

  

  The wings and antennae are a butterfly

• Dress "Dolls" can be of any style and color. But the image should be supplemented with a large bow and beads.

  

  The doll's image is characterized by a big bow

• Two stars attached to the hoop with springs are the main accessory of the “star” outfit. But you can also decorate the dress with decorative elements.

  

  Stars on the dress and in the hair - and no one will have any questions about what kind of costume it is

• If you have a beautiful snow-white dress, you can make an "Angel" costume. It is better to trim the hem of the dress and wings along the contour with swan down. It will give lightness and weightlessness to the image.

  

  A thin snow-white dress and transparent wings are the image of an angel

• A dark dress will look good in a "Night" suit. It can be decorated with silver stars and a crescent moon.

  

  The owner of a blue dress embroidered with silver stars is, of course, a night fairy

• The rich green color of the dress is suitable for the “Herringbone” costume. Embroider the hem with rhinestones and gold threads, decorate with stars and snowflakes. Be sure to decorate your hair with a beautiful voluminous hair clip or a star attached to the hoop.

  

  A green dress with a fluffy tiered skirt is a good fit for a herringbone costume

Who is this Mister X

If you have a classic black suit, simply complement it with a black mask. The result will be the image of "Mr. X" - the most economical in terms of effort, time and money.

An important accessory for the "Mr. X" costume is a black mask

Brave and brave Zorro

Which of the little men doesn't want to be the brave Zorro? After all, he is always on guard of justice! But as often happens, the son chooses the character, and the mother sews the costume. In the case of Zorro, labor costs will not be too high.

• The main accessories of the costume are a hat with the letter Z and a mask. It is better to buy a ready-made hat. And make a contrasting applique on it. For the mask, you can use ordinary black cardboard from the children's creative kit.

  

  A hat, mask, sword and cape - all that is needed for the Zorro costume

• Any clothes will do. For example, black jeans and a white shirt.

• You can complement the image with a cape. It is not difficult to make it, you just need to collect a piece of fabric onto a braid for tying.

  

  The length of the cape can be chosen arbitrarily, the main thing is that the child is comfortable

• And, of course, you have to buy a sword. After all, Zorro is a warrior, and it is very difficult to protect the weak without weapons.
