If you want to make a carnival costume for your child yourself, first you need to “catch the idea”. Ideas for the holidays - they are everywhere: on the Internet, at friends, in the store. And in this little gallery:
New Year is a magical holiday. It is special for every child: someone is waiting for a meeting with Santa Claus, receiving the desired gifts, a lot of guests and delicious food, and someone is waiting for a real fairy tale - something that does not happen in everyday life. This holiday is the very case when the most unrealizable dream can come true. Become a super hero, fly into space, play the role of a princess, cute funny animal, clown, fairy or even a dinosaur!
Maternity.ru offers original ideas for a fabulous transformation for your child. After all, a carnival costume is a kind of ticket to a magical land! And the task of the mother is to build the conceived image easily and quickly, using simple means.
Space suit
In our childhood, many children dreamed of becoming astronauts. Vast space distances, alien civilizations and undiscovered worlds - all this is tempting and very attractive. Space has not lost its attractiveness for modern children. Therefore, an astronaut's spacesuit is an original idea for a New Year's party or carnival.To make this magnificent space helmet, we inflate a large round balloon to the required volume. Then we put wet paper napkins on its surface. The next few layers are small pieces of paper smeared with PVA glue. We are waiting for the glue to dry. We pierce the balloon and take it out through the resulting small holes. We make an oval slot in the helmet.
We glue the blank of the helmet with foil.
To make the visor, you will need transparent thin plastic. This happens on the packaging of children's toys. Cut out an elliptical visor from it. We pierce along both edges and fasten with cheap children's earrings.
To get the most authentic oxygen cylinders, you need to wrap in foil. They can be attached to a belt or to the suit itself with double-sided tape.
To make a dashboard on an astronaut's suit, we use cardboard, holographic paper, old CDs. If you get along with electrical gadgets, you can attach a small garland with a battery to the structure. See how the front panel on the suit glows in the dark.
We make real space shoes as follows: we wrap rubber boots with foil and lightly attach it on top with tape. Our astronaut is ready. Now we only need a space rocket!
Complement the space meeting of the New Year will help alien costume.
For those who do not want to sew, you can offer a suit of planets and stars. To do this, we make corresponding bright mask hats from cardboard and colored paper. To keep such a hat in the back, we attach an elastic band to it.
Now it remains to choose the right one, and a bright memorable holiday is guaranteed!
Bright Columbine - carnival clown costume
How can you do without a funny guy or a clown at the party? We propose to make an unusual move and present a little girl as a clown. Sweet and beautiful Columbine will appeal to an active, cheerful girl.
We use bright fabrics and accessories for the clown costume. You can wear a white blouse or T-shirt, complementing them with a voluminous colorful skirt made of pieces of fabric. We supplement the set with bright socks, golfs, leggings.
We decorate the cap for Columbine with sparkles, tinsel, pom-poms. This headpiece can be attached to a hair band for speed and mobility of the clown - easy to take off or put on when needed.
Dinosaur costume
The theme of prehistoric reptiles has fascinated children for more than a decade. Maternity.ru offers several variations on the theme of the dinosaur carnival costume.For example, you can sew a fabric jumpsuit by decorating it with spikes along the spine and tail.
You can make a Dinosaur house costume out of cardboard boxes. Such an outfit is easy to make and will definitely be remembered, although it is not very convenient to move in it.
You can make an "upgrade" of the available sports or jersey suit and balaclava, supplementing them with rubber boots and gloves. Look at what a colorful lizard turned out!
Carnival costume "Fly agaric"
The main detail in the fly agaric costume is, of course, a bright hat with white polka dots. It can be made by covering an old hat with a large brim or cardboard blank with a suitable red cloth. At the same time, it is good to add a soft foam rubber frame or fabric inside. Then you get a real mushroom cap.
To make an owl costume, we need a beige and brown range of clothes. We attach large eyes to the U-shaped hat. Sew on the colored fabric feathers on the jacket.
Oriental sage
To make this costume, you will need bright trousers, a T-shirt and two colored scarves. You can decorate the sage's headdress with a brooch or a feather.
The Indian theme is bright, colorful and romantic. And although modern children no longer read novels about the Wild West, every boy is ready to dress up as an Indian.
The clothes of the Indians were made from homespun linen. Therefore, we choose a fabric that is suitable in color and texture. Sew on the braid and fringe.
We make special "overlays". We decorate them with braid, lacing and wooden buttons.
For the headdress we use a wire frame with feathers or a cardboard frame with paper feathers. You can also use a fabric base.
Carlson
The mischievous Karlson costume is a bright green shirt, banana pants with suspenders, a red wig, and a propeller.
If you want to make a spinning propeller, arm yourself with a base from a CD and an old CD drive (we'll need a spool). We pierce the fabric with a pin, attach the propeller and close it with a plastic cap. Now our propeller is spinning!
Costumes for Duckling, Ladybug, Butterflies, Dogs
Based on the pattern of the jumpsuit, you can create a variety of carnival costumes. See what options you can get:
A simple and colorful suit of a strong man can be made from a sailor shirt. Add a funny mustache - and you're done!
Masha and the Bear
We will create the heroine of a Russian folk tale and the beloved cartoon - a cheerful, playful girl Mashenka - from a completely real girl with the help of a sundress and a pink kerchief. For completeness, you can pick up a teddy bear.
Fairy, butterfly, ladybug - these costumes can be made according to the same pattern: a bright fluffy skirt, a headband with horns, wings and a magic wand.
New Year is exactly that fabulous time when children of any age can believe in miracles. To help them with this, think over the idea of a costume for a matinee, a holiday photo shoot or New Year's Eve itself.
The boy can be dressed up in a suit that matches some animal or favorite fairy tale characters of the child.
To make it exactly different from other outfits on a similar theme, sew all the items of clothing yourself.
How to make children's New Year's costumes for boys beautiful, comfortable and practical, we will consider a few examples.
How to sew a kid's outfit
A goat costume for a boy will be an excellent decision on the occasion of the coming of the year with the corresponding symbol according to the eastern calendar. But you can cook it in any other year, as often on the occasion of the celebration in kindergartens and schools they make fabulous performances with the participation of children.
To make a kid's costume for a boy, you need to decide on the style and color. As a rule, it is performed in snow-white, as well as gray or other dark color and is made separate, that is, the whole image will consist of pants or shorts, a sweater or vest, as well as a headdress that imitates the face of an animal.
Some garments may not be sewn from scratch, but ready-made (white or gray).
By the way, a kid's costume for a boy can also be made in the form of a jumpsuit. Do not forget to sew homemade horns to the fabric (they can be sewn from fabric and stuffed with padding polyester), as well as a tail made of fur and hooves (you can replace them with dark mittens). The kid's costume hat should be decorated with an elongated beard.
Advice: for convenience, you can not sew a hat, but fix the ears and horns on the headband.
You can hang a bell around your child's neck and paint on your face to create an even more realistic look. In the next photo, you can see one of the ideas for the image of a kid in the form of a jumpsuit.
How to create the image of a gray wolf
A New Year's wolf costume for a boy can consist of similar elements. Only the tail will differ, as well as the headdress. From the photo of wolf costumes, you can see that most of these outfits are made in dark colors.
How to make a wolf costume? Sew shorts and a vest to get started. To create such original New Year's costumes for boys, it is not even necessary to use patterns: it is enough to take ready-made clothes as a basis - and draw its borders, leaving a little more space for the intended seams.
A wolf costume is made quickly and easily. You sew the pants and top of the outfit, pass the elastic through some seams to tighten the garments, and then start the decor. It can include a patch of fur, rain on the edges of the fabric, decorative buttons or pockets.
Do not forget about the obligatory details: ears, a nose with eyes, if the outfit includes a hat with a realistic face of the animal, as well as a tail.
The ears are sewn to the headdress or fastened to a strip of fabric that is tied under the chin or behind the head. We recommend not to neglect such ties, since it is possible that the child will run and jump during the holiday, and the loose elements of the image will subside.
In the next photo, you can see an example of a muzzle design for such a suit. The eyes and nose can be made with buttons, felt or colored cardboard, and the nose can be decorated with fur or thick fabric.
You can think of other options for how to sew a wolf costume. For example, make it in the form of a jumpsuit, pants with suspenders or a cape.
Bunny costume ideas
Continuing the theme of forest animals, let us also recall the bunnies. A bunny costume for a boy can be sewn using fabrics of white, beige, gray, brown and even brighter shades, such as blue or light blue.
In the photo, the New Year's bunny costume is made in the form of a one-piece jumpsuit with a hood, decorated with ears. Please note that the outfit has white stakes: decide in advance where the shade of the outfit will differ - and make the appropriate patterns, focusing on the height and thickness of the child's figure.
On the Internet you can find interesting patterns for a bunny costume. If the boy does not have much time to sew a New Year's costume, limit yourself to sewing shorts and gray vests. Put on a white shirt or turtleneck under it, and do not forget about warm tights for the child.
An obligatory component of any costume for a boy for the New Year is long ears. Make them from the leftover fabric after sewing, or buy ready-made ones from the holiday accessories store. Ears can be made on the basis of cardboard, felt, fur or fabric with padding polyester.
If you want to get an original outfit that differs from the rest, you can use other materials as well. For example, knit some elements of clothing from yarn or follow the example of the next photo of a bunny costume - and complete all the details from soft fur.
By the way, you can sew a hare costume for a boy not only for use on New Year's holidays. For example, you can make it more versatile - and put it on a child during Easter, the main symbol of which is the rabbit.
Bright pirate costume for a child
For an active child who loves to run, jump, and also "fight" with peers, you can prepare a children's New Year's pirate costume. We are sure that the boy will be more than ever pleased with this image, since he will immediately feel like the hero of a tale of treasures and travel.
As a rule, a children's pirate costume for a boy consists of pants, a sailor suit, a vest (raincoat or jacket), and a hat. Pants and a sailor suit can be taken ready-made, but we recommend making a vest and other elements from scratch, as they should be made as bright and expressive as possible.
For such an outfit, different jewelry is suitable, especially those that resemble gold. For realism, tie a black blindfold over one eye, and also give a toy weapon or a dagger. You can sew a stuffed parrot toy on your shoulder.
If you decide to take ready-made pants, decorate them with a wide belt. Instead of a sailor suit, you can limit yourself to a shirt: unfasten the top buttons and straighten the collar to create a slightly casual look.
Make the hat on a cardboard base: make wide brims for it, which later will need to be sheathed with pieces of fabric. Sew on the front of the hat with a skull made of white ribbons, threads, or other materials.
Such a children's suit for the New Year for a boy can be used in the future, since with the onset of each New Year's season, this image will not lose its relevance. See photos of New Year's pirate costumes - and choose the style and colors with your child.
Clothes and hat for the gnome
Of course, gnome costumes for children are often made for performances, where it is assumed that several children will have such an image at once. But this does not mean that the gnome's New Year's costume cannot look advantageous against the background of the rest. It is enough to make it bright and positive - and success is guaranteed.
How to make a gnome costume for a boy? Start at the top. A gnome costume for the New Year can consist of a bright sweater or shirt. If there are no suitable clothes, make a blouse for a gnome costume with your own hands, using simple sewing patterns and using more interesting fabrics.
The next piece will be a vest. We recommend to sew this part of the gnome's New Year's costume from a single-color material of a dark color. If you plan to wear a thing with a neutral design under the bottom, it is the vest that should be made bright and expressive. You can use the following gnome costume pattern to sew this part:
Now let's get down to the pants. In the photo of the gnome's New Year's costume for a boy, you can see that the pants are made out in bright colors. As a rule, they are shortened and decorated with elastic bands both on the top and on the bottom.
Decorate a children's gnome costume with a bright belt, a homemade cap hanging down, bright socks and, of course, a beard that can be made from fur or a wig. The cap is best made of flannel fabric or jersey. It may differ in color from the rest of the outfit.
In the next photo, the costumes of the gnomes are complemented by original boots with rounded ends. They are created on the basis of simple patterns and are made of dense fabric. Bells can be attached to the edge of slippers and caps.
To create a realistic effect, you can make a round spout for a gnome out of foam rubber. It should be fixed on the face with an elastic band. That's all the nuances of how to sew a gnome costume for a child. We advise you to paint him a blush on the cheeks to complete the look.
We transform a child into Santa Claus
Why not choose the most important New Year image for your child? Sew a Santa Claus costume for a boy. To make such children's New Year's costumes, you will need red, blue, blue, gray or white fabric, as well as decorative fur.
Traditionally, the outfit of Santa Claus is a long fur coat and a hat. But you can also sew other details of this New Year's costume for children, for example, a jacket with pants or mittens.
For a bold look, don't forget to transform your garments with sequins, beads, rain, ribbons, and other embellishments. For a pattern for sewing a fur coat, see the following photo of a New Year's costume for boys:
Advice: instead of a pattern, you can use a children's down jacket, by analogy with which you can make a sheepskin coat with sleeves.
Make a hat, focusing on a regular headdress. After sewing it, you will only have to decorate the borders with rain or fur, as well as embroider on the front side in the form of a snowflake or patch the finished picture on the corresponding topic.
You can complement such beautiful New Year's costumes for boys with felt boots and, of course, a beard, which is made from a snow-white wig, cotton wool, fur or other material that can be cut to obtain the required shape. And do not forget to give the child a bag of "gifts" in his hand.
Breeze Suit Sewing Ideas
When deciding to make a New Year's costume, think about non-standard characters. Remember what heroes of fairy tales are rarely seen on New Year's holidays. One of the options suitable for creating a costume for a boy for the New Year will be the image of the wind.
To sew a wind suit, take a light filigree in a pale gray or bluish color. Translucent elements will also look great on such a suit. Alternatively, the fluttering cape can be sewn from satin, and the rest of the details can be made with another white fabric.
The pattern of a New Year's costume for a boy in the form of a wind is made in the form of a circle with cutouts inside. These cutouts will fit the baby's arms and head. You should not make such an outfit too long so that the boy can easily move around during the event.
If desired, you can complement the look of the breeze with ribbons tied on the arms and legs, or sewn-on pieces of fabric in different shades.
And in the next photo of children's Christmas costumes for boys, you can see how to create an image of the wind, using plastic or garbage bags instead of fabric. Make a fly-out cape with a lot of stripes out of them and put such an outfit on top of a light-colored sweater.
If you decide to sew a New Year's costume for a boy from packages - please note that the material must be strong enough. Otherwise, he will be torn, and by the end of the holiday nothing will remain of the outfit. In addition, too rustling material will cause inconvenience to the child, so it is better to choose the highest quality material as possible.

And although they are often made from used clothes, the attractiveness of the outfits does not diminish from this. After all, who can be left indifferent by a BUTTERFLY or MOTIL costume. And to embody the image of an insect girl, you just need to put on your child an elegant light blouse and a dark (or even better black) skirt, tights and shoes. On the head, you will need to make a hoop made of black fabric on a cardboard base, on which you should attach wire antennae with beads or balls at the ends. The main work will be the manufacture of wings. To begin with, a piece of light monochromatic silk is taken - white, blue, pink or yellow. From it, a blank is cut out under the wings in the shape of a semicircle, stretched and painted with watercolor paint or aniline dye according to your desire and imagination. The only requirement for the drawing is symmetry. After the design has dried completely, the fabric is gathered in the center and attached to the neck, and the tips of the wings on the wrists.

Often children's Christmas costumes with their own hands remade from a bag-dress of the required length or a sundress. For example - SNOWMAN: a child puts on boots or thick white socks, a hat made of shiny paper such as silver foil is put on his head, or you can put on a real small bucket. The lower edge of the headdress is sheathed (or pasted over) with "hair" - rain, thin padding polyester, white fur or woolen threads. Further, a white synthetic winter dress is put on a white turtleneck and girded with a rain ribbon. You can attach a paper carrot with a soft rubber band to your nose.
If you have a fun hat, a red scarf and a white turtleneck, then you don't have to worry about the Snowman costume.
For the Clown, you need something striped and insanely bright.
Striped tights and ginger wigs will turn you into an adorable clown.
It is just as easy to create a MUKHOMOR costume, for the embodiment of which you just need to put on red corduroy breeches with a lacy white blouse or a jumpsuit decorated with an applique on the chest. Well, the red cardboard hat, of course, is pasted over with white circles. No special material and physical costs are required in the manufacture of a GNOMA suit. Again, red breeches are taken, a lush lace blouse, on which a yellow vest is put on. The blouse can be replaced with a shirt with removable cuffs and a fluffy collar. It remains only to adapt a cap made of red fabric, a nose with a potato - with an elastic band, a beard made of white or yellow foam rubber (can be replaced with fringe, synthetic winterizer or fur). And, of course, a gnome costume will not do without a small flashlight, which will become the finishing touch for this fabulous image.

If you need to make DIY Christmas costume for a girl, then you can start with the image of the SNOWFLAKE. He, like in Soviet times, today remains the cherished dream of every girl. So what if this idea is not too new and original. So what if we ourselves once flaunted in such an image. Probably the time has come to dedicate her daughter to Snowflakes. So, the basis of the image of a snowflake is a white dress, light and flowing. A dress made of a semi-transparent, airy fabric with lurex trim looks most beautiful. Unlimited ruffles, laces and frills will be welcomed. You can also decorate the dress with rain and blue and blue details. Shoes and tights can be chosen in white or light blue. The girl's hairstyle can be decorated with a tiara. Gloves or mitts to match the dress will complement the image of a crystal snowflake.

Your little fairy-tale lover will be very happy if you invite her to make a RAPUNZEL costume together with her. This is a cartoon princess with luxurious endless hair, which is not only capable of magic, but has long become the secret dream of many girls. And to become like a beloved beauty-goldilocks is possible just on the eve of the New Year's holiday. And it's good that you can do it - the most important magicians in your daughter's life. Sew this do-it-yourself Christmas costume for a child even a mother who is not very skillful in wielding a needle will be able to. The main thing is to find what to make a golden braid from, as well as to choose a beautiful fluffy dress of lilac or lavender color. Thank God, today you can buy a dress for every taste. Of course, if you sew it yourself, it will only add delight to your mother in the eyes of your child, and also make the outfit simply exclusive. But so that our always busy mothers do not waste precious time on sewing a dress on their own, it is easier to buy it by choosing a suitable length and color, and then just redo it a little. The main distinguishing feature of Rapunzel's outfit is the flounce-shaped sleeves on the dress. It is advisable to pick up its top with a corset, which is laced in front. Then the dress is decorated with organza, ribbons, lace, because this dress is intended for the most beautiful princess in the world! Then it will get more complicated: to be able to make a long golden braid. Although, there is nothing unusual here either: a simple headband for hair, to which golden or yellow yarn is attached with a hot glue gun. First you need to decide on a long braid, which should slightly exceed the girl's height. Then you need to prepare strands of yarn of the required length, while making sure that the threads do not get tangled. The hair from the rim is left a short length, simulating a semblance of a wig, and then braided into an ordinary classic long braid, and it will gradually be necessary to weave golden rain, ribbons and flowers into it, thus decorating the hairstyle. Then a pigtail is braided from shorter threads, which will correspond to the length of the base - the rim. Using the same glue gun, the braid is glued to the rim on the outside, decorating the hairstyle and hiding not very aesthetic moments in it. This is how you can please your beloved daughter with just a little imagination and patience.

The image is complemented by "brutal" shoes and matching accessories in the form of a lasso and cowboy pistols.
Do-it-yourself Santa Claus beard? Why not do it.
Timeless and fashion and PIRATE costume. By the way, it is even easier to manufacture than previous versions. So, the worn old jeans are cut below the knee level to make the cut line look deliberately shaggy and uneven. A couple of patches are sewn onto the jeans, as well as a rough appliqué on the theme of "gold coins". The boy also dresses up in a vest, knits a scarf-bandana on his head, and ties a bright kerchief around his neck. Of course, it will be good if this hero, in addition to traditional pistols, is also put on the shoulder of a green parrot. And there is nothing to argue about the final touch to the costume - the black eye patch: without it, the costume will be incomplete. A more modern take on this outfit is the JACK SPARROW pirate costume. In this case, you will need a "real" wig, which can be made from fabric - black and red knitted patches. Moreover, the red cloth must be folded like a bandana. Strips will need to be cut from black fabric, which are subsequently attached to the bandana on both sides and braided into braids. Beads and ribbons are also woven into them. The fabric in the hairstyle can be replaced with thick yarn by making braids from it. Lace cuffs and the same collar can be attached to the white shirt of this aristocratic pirate. To make a pirate vest, you can use an old jacket with cut off sleeves, sewn on it with massive pockets and bright large buttons. It is imperative to choose a dark vest. If trousers can be simple, but also necessarily dark and short, then boots are needed up to the knees themselves and even higher. If you wish, you can convert them into "real" boots. But the belt needs to be prepared in a light tone with a massive buckle. And we must not forget about the most important accessories of this look, which will become an extra reason for you to show your extraordinary imagination. And this pirate has a lot of jewelry of the most varied: from belts to rings, from bracelets to pendants, from a sword with a pistol to a compass. Perhaps now your little son will be just delighted!
Owlet ...
What an unspeakable pleasure it is to prepare a New Year's costume for a boy! First, together with him, choose a character in which to dress up, then think over all the details ... A little imagination, work, desire - and now the New Year's costume for the boy is ready!
Groups of carnival outfits
All masquerade costumes can be divided into several groups:
- people;
- flora representative;
- fauna representative;
- fabulous creatures;
- inanimate objects.
Carnival outfit from the category of "people"
The easiest New Year's costume to make for a boy is an outfit from the "people" section. Such can be the attire of a musketeer, pirate, robber, elf, gnome, Dunno, Buratino, Karabas-Barabas, superman, astrologer, sorcerer.
To create it, sometimes you do not need to sew, glue or paint anything. It is enough to look for suitable clothes in the pantry among old things, add the necessary accessories, and make the appropriate make-up. In some cases, you need to take care of the manufacture of a beard, crown, weapons, glasses, blindfolds, sockets for boots and other details of the suit.
For example, to make a New Year's costume for a boy who decides to be the king at the masquerade, you will need smart pants and a blouse, a crown and a mantle. Actually, you will additionally need to make a crown. It is easy to cut and glue it out of paper, decorating it with Christmas decorations, foil, glass buttons and beads or rhinestones.
The cape is also quite simple to make. A rectangular piece of fabric from above is gathered on a drawstring and tied under the chin. Sometimes a high stand-up collar is required.
made of cardboard
You can make a carnival outfit from almost everything that is at hand. For example, disassembling cardboard boxes, it is easy to make knightly armor out of them, securing the parts with tape. The sword and shield can also be made from cardboard. But it may well happen that there is a baby in the family who has a toy weapon.
To make the costume look more believable, it is recommended to paste over it with silver paper and decorate it accordingly (for example, apply heraldic patterns, paint a shield, etc.)
Carnival outfit from the category "representatives of the flora"
Taking vegetables, fruits or berries as a prototype, you can make very beautiful New Year's costumes for boys. These can be Tomato, Cucumber, Radish, Peas, Banana, Peach, Mushroom and others.
Even the most inexperienced dressmaker will be able to sew which will depict Peach or Strawberry. To create volume, the outfit itself is made in the shape of a ball. It is very easy to draw patterns of New Year's costumes for a boy from the category of "vegetables, fruits, berries". It is a rectangle with one side equal to the circumference at the waist and the other equal to the height.
Having cut out the desired shape to size, the fabric is sewn, folded face inward so that a "pipe" is obtained. Several darts can be made along the top and bottom of this part. Then both edges are hemmed, making drawstrings into which laces are inserted.
In order for the roundness not to lose its shape, you can put a synthetic winterizer, foam rubber or inflated balloons inside. Some craftsmen prefer to prestitch the fabric from which the suit is sewn with padding polyester or then it is not necessary to put the filler inside.
Additionally, you will need to make hats or hoods for some outfits. Other costumes can be decorated with green collars, which will mimic the sepals of berries.
Cut out a carnival outfit from the category "representative of the fauna"
To make the carnival outfit high-quality and comfortable to wear, you can sew a New Year's costume for a boy in the form of a jumpsuit. This option is suitable for any mammal, be it a Deer, Elephant, Bear, Tiger, Rooster, Dinosaur or even a flying Dragon. Overalls differ only in color and the presence of some details: bone protrusions in dinosaurs and dragons, horns, wings, trunk and crest.
To make a New Year's costume for a boy with your own hands, patterns for the details of the jumpsuit are simply necessary. They should be transferred to paper, cut out with scissors and laid out on fabric. The product requires four of these parts. Moreover, two of them should be cut out by attaching the template with one side to the fabric, and the other two should be cut asymmetrical, since the fabric is previously folded in half with its face inward.
It should also be noted that there will be a "zipper" fastener on the back, so two asymmetric parts must be cut out with this in mind and a special allowance should be provided. The front halves are cut along the line, which is labeled in the drawing as "the middle of the front".
Sewing overalls for an animal costume
The parts are first sewn in pairs face to face so that you get two halves of the product with one sleeve and one leg. Then they make out the front seam, hem the edges of the sleeves and trousers, making drawstrings for gathering in them, process the neck with a tape. Last but not least, a zipper is sewn into the jumpsuit.
In order to make a truly beautiful New Year's costume for a boy with your own hands, you need to sew or glue an animal mask. You can take the path of least resistance and get by with a banal half mask. There is an option for making a volumetric papier-mâché mask. Some craftswomen choose to sew a hat or a hood with ears sewn onto the crown of the head with fabric horns stuffed with filler, and an overlay in the muzzle, into which a synthetic winterizer or foam rubber is also placed. The eyes and nose are made of large beads or buttons.
Carnival outfit from the category of "fairy creatures"
These are, for example, New Year's for boys. There are several options for creating this outfit.
The easiest way is to pick up white panties and build the upper part of the outfit from the white coat of the paramedic by cutting off the lower half. The bottom edge of the blouson obtained after shortening is hemmed so that a lace can be inserted into the hem. Large black buttons, a striped bright hat and a scarf complete the look of the snowman.
Sewn snowman outfit
A good life is for those who know how to sew. Indeed, with the help of scissors and a needle, needlework masters easily create professional New Year's snowman costumes for boys from white fabric.
For example, according to the algorithm for making ball-shaped outfits for fruits and berries, you can make two or three parts of different sizes. The ball with the largest diameter is placed down. A second, slightly smaller size is sewn to its upper part. The smallest should be on top. A bucket glued from cardboard is put on the child's head, a scarf is tied around the neck.
In the form of a jumpsuit, you can also sew a New Year's suit (for a boy) with your own hands. The patterns for him are the same that are offered as patterns when sewing animal costumes. The manufacturing algorithm is also no different from the one described above.
Carnival costume from the series "inanimate objects"
Those wishing to be the most creative and unique at the holiday, experts advise to dress up with a Samovar, Kettle, Fire, Book or other inanimate object related to inanimate nature.
Making a Book costume is not difficult. You just need to make a giant cardboard cover, colorfully fill it with the name of the printed edition, the name of the author, and place some pictures. This cover fastens at the front.
The Kettle costume needs to be sewn according to the principle of a fruit outfit. You should make a ball of bright red fabric, such as polka dots. On the character's head, a beret of the same color with a large loop can flaunt. From one side you can sew a handle made of white fabric, and from the other - the spout of the teapot. It is best to fill both the handle and the spout tightly with filler.
