Carnival costume A wizard for a child is one of the easiest New Year's outfits to make; it consists of a simple robe with stars. In the master class, we replaced the usual wizard's cap with a pointed hood - it can always be removed, and it fits better on the head without hindering the child's movements. It will be possible to complement your child’s New Year’s image various accessories, which we’ll talk about at the end of the article, but for now let’s look at the process of creating its basis - a mantle with brilliant stars.

How to sew a wizard costume for a boy: step-by-step master class with photos

In order to make a wizard costume for the New Year we will need:

  • The fabric is light blue or dark blue. The length of the fabric must be equal to the length of the product without a hood plus 12 cm and a width twice the length. For the hood you will need a rectangular piece of fabric measuring 80 by 40 cm;
  • Threads in the color of the fabric and white - for processing the attachment of stars to the fabric;
  • Foil.

Fold the rectangle of fabric for the main part of the mantle in half front side inside. The sides of the resulting square should be equal to the length of the mantle plus 12 cm. Take this measurement, and, holding a centimeter at one end of the fold, make several outlines for the arc connecting two opposite corners.

Let's draw a smooth line connecting the outlines. Let's draw another one using the same principle, but using the 10 cm measure.


Cut the fabric along the marked lines and unfold it. This turned out to be the basis for our cloak. Let's try it on a child to correct the neckline.


Let's open the hood by folding the fabric right side inward and making a blank based on a rectangle with by the following parties: a) this is the height of the head (from the neck to the crown), b) half the length of the neck. With your free hand, draw the outline of the hood, making a pointed top.


Let's cut the blank and, having connected the hood and the base of the cloak along the neckline, we will process the sections.


Let's sew a loop and an interesting button to the mantle.


Now let's move on to the stars. To make them we need silver foil. In order for the stars to shine brighter, you need to slightly crumple it, then, smoothing out the folds, glue it left side tape to strengthen the material.


Let's cut out the stars different sizes: small and large.


Sew the stars to the mantle using a large zig zag stitch, using reverse for convenience.

If the foil has become a little dull during processing, a damp cloth, which is usually used to clean computer monitors or photographic equipment, will correct this. Just lightly wipe the star and it will shine again. Our mantle is ready!


You can complement the costume with a “magic wand” cut out of soft material and wrapped in foil. You can add a hoop to your costume with “ precious stone"on the head of the "wizard" and a wide shirt, secured with a belt under the mantle. On such a belt you can attach a bag with a “magic potion” - candies that have “wonderful properties” to bring joy.

The New Year's wizard costume is a universal outfit, suitable for both carnivals and theatrical performances and themed matinees. Image recognition and spectacular appearance The costume is provided with three simple attributes: a hat and a magic wand.

Wizard's Cloak

The most important element of the costume, which will take the most time to make, is the cape. To make the raincoat look most colorful and expressive, it is recommended to use bright, shiny fabric: large scraps of satin, rayon, satin, tricotine or fabrics with lurex, shiny coating.

The fabric is folded in half, the lower edges are smoothly rounded, and a small cutout is made in the upper corner for the neck of the cloak. The edge is folded and stitched, after which it is trimmed with decorative shiny braid. The neck of the cloak is also treated with braid and long ties are sewn on, which will hold the cloak on the wizard's shoulders. Multi-colored patterns can be sewn across the entire surface of the cape. shiny stars or embroider it with sequin patterns.

Wizard hat

As a headdress you can make either wide-brimmed hat, or a high cap. The hat is made from thick but flexible cardboard: a circle equal to the width of the hat is drawn, a circle is cut out in the center, the diameter of which corresponds to the circumference of the child’s head. A cardboard strip is glued to the base of the hat, the length of which is equal to the circumference of the head, the height is optional. The bottom is glued on top of the crown of the hat. After the glue has dried, the finished hat can be painted in the desired color and decorated with a shiny buckle, sparkles, and stars.

It's even easier to make a wizard's hat: on a sheet thick paper draw a circle whose radius corresponds to the height of the future cap. If you plan to make a cap with a brim, then you will need another circle - draw it, 10-15 centimeters away from the first circle, after which both parts are cut out.

One side of the smaller circle is cut along a line drawn from the edge to its center and rolled into a cone, fixing the junction with glue or tape. Small cuts are made along the edges of the cap, the paper is folded up and the margins are glued. The finished cap is covered with fabric in the color of the cloak or painted, decorated with braid, beads or various pendants.

Wand

To make a magic wand, straight tree branches, Chinese cooking sticks, etc. are suitable. An even, smooth stick is painted with gold paint or tightly wrapped in shiny fabric, foil, gift wrapping paper and secured with glue or transparent adhesive tape. The head of the wand is made in the shape of a star from cardboard or thin tin; glitter is glued along the entire length of the wand or painted with “magic” patterns.

  • We draw petals along the bottom of the semicircle of the dress so that there are so many of them without halves, or we draw half a petal on the side, but cut off not half.
  • We glue the bottom of the dress with a thread of sequins; for a green dress we take golden or yellow ones. We glue it well so that the bottom of the fabric does not fray.
