On the festive evening of the New Year, everyone wants to dress up somehow in a special, original and unusual way. Therefore, wearing a bright and interesting New Year's costume to a holiday party is a great way to have fun and be filled with positive emotions. Which costume should you choose, it all depends on your preferences. This could be the costume of your favorite animal, fairy-tale hero or movie character. Choose the suit that you like best, in which you will feel comfortable and harmonious.

We sew our own New Year's mermaid costume

For this costume you will need the following materials: wide knitted headband purple and tulle of different colors (mint, emerald green, light green and purple shades).

1. The first thing to do is to the bottom edge of the bandage, with front side, attach with crochet hook one after another multi-colored pieces of tulle. First there are 3 pieces of mint color, then 3 or 2 emerald green, then 3 pieces of light green color. So, alternating colors, we frame the entire edge of the headband using tulle. If you want to make your skirt fuller, you can attach the tulle in several rows.

2. Then, to make the bottom of the dress resemble a little mermaid’s tail, cross-tie the top layers of tulle of different colors at some distance from each other. Do not tie the tulle together along its entire length. It is advisable to tie knots only to the middle of the skirt; it is better to leave its edge free.

3. Take 3 colors of tulle and tie them together in a braid shape - this will be a belt that you tie at the hips, where the seam between the headband and the tulle begins. The top of the little mermaid costume can be decorated with purple tulle, threading it through the loop located in the center, and tie a large and beautiful bow at the back.

For the sheep costume you will need:

- pieces of black and pink felt,

- cotton balls.

First you need to transform the sundress. To do this, take cotton wool balls, apply a little glue on one side and glue them to the sundress. In order for them to attach better, place a small piece of cardboard under the area to which you attach the balls in at the moment. Cover the sundress with cotton balls on all sides. Let the glue dry well. Now let's move on to making the hat. First you need to make sheep ears. To do this, cut them out of felt fabric: 4 black and 2 smaller pink ones. We sew them together. Pink inserts are sewn inside black ones. The ends of the ears are sewn together, slightly bending the pieces of fabric inward to give them a rounded shape. Then we sew the ears to our hat.

We make bunny ears. First, we cut out 2 ears from cardboard, then 4 of the same ears from white felt (they should be slightly larger in size than cardboard ones) and 2 ears from pink felt (which are slightly smaller in size than white ones). Then we put cardboard inside the white ears and sew them together. Sew pink ears on top of the white ear. To make the bunny ears fluffy, glue pieces of white boa along the edges with glue. We attach the finished ears to the white headband using glue. In the place where the two ears join together, you can attach a small bow, which you will make from a pink ribbon.

To make the tail you will need a piece of white tulle. Take a small rectangular piece of cardboard and wrap the tulle around it 17-20 times. Using scissors, cut the tulle on each side. You should end up with many equal-sized pieces of tulle. Place all the pieces together and tightly wrap them with thread in the middle to make something like a bow. After this, straighten the pieces of tulle on each side, separating them from each other, and you will get a very fluffy ponytail. Sew it to the skirt. White slippers or ballet flats are suitable as shoes for this suit. If you want to make the same costume for a boy, then you will need white golf, bunny ears and trousers to which the tail is sewn.

Making ears. In order to cut neat, even circles from cardboard, take a glass, attach it to the cardboard and trace it around the edge. Then you need to cut out the same circles, only from black material. Make the circles a little larger in size than cardboard ones. At the same time, we do not cut out the circles completely, leaving a piece of fabric at the bottom, which we will then use to attach the ears to the headband.

We put cardboard ears between the black ones. To fasten them together, sew the edges or you can glue all the parts with glue. Now we attach the ears to the headband. For this, pieces of fabric left earlier are used. We put the ears to the headband and glue the pieces of the remaining fabric together.

I picked it up interesting options suits in different styles for children and adults, most include brief instructions for making them. I really hope that by doing so I will help you find the answer to the question of what outfit to wear to celebrate the New Year and inspire you to success.

Classic and themed

Not ready for bold experiments and prefer to remain conservative even for the New Year? Great, choose from proven options for New Year's costumes.

Snowflake

For the top, use a simple blue or white swimsuit, T-shirt or tank top in the desired colors.

The decoration of the upper part of the costume is a beautiful applique in the form of a snowflake. A shiny film (for example, from flowers) or iridescent fabric (satin looks good) will do. Make the sleeves into lanterns. They can be easily made from crepe paper or fabric and worn separately with a T-shirt or swimsuit. To make the lanterns lush and not slip, secure crepe paper or fabric with a wide elastic band to fit the volume of your arm, hide the seam inside.

The lower part is the main decoration of the costume. Sew a two- or three-tier gathered skirt.

Please note that the width of the top should be several centimeters smaller than the width of the bottom. The widest is the third skirt.

Multi-colored panels several millimeters wide for each layer will add glamor to the skirt. Choose nylon fabric, polyethylene or starched gauze for the bottom. This way the skirt will keep its shape better. Along the edges of the bottom layer, sew balls of plush, padding polyester or cotton wool on a strong silver thread up to 10 cm long.

On the feet of the snowflakes of 2019, Czech shoes with white pompoms will look harmonious, on the head - tiny sparkling pins and barrettes, a hoop with cotton balls, the same as on the skirt. Don't forget about accessories - pearl beads and bracelets.

Wonderful winter

Another beautiful traditional outfit for the New Year - Winter.

Making the most popular New Year's outfit is not difficult, if time allows. The basis is two dresses and capes. The lower one can be made with beautiful wide sleeves, the upper one can be made like a vest. Or, as an option, the bottom one has thin straps, the top one has sleeves.

For an underdress, old white or blue tulle works well. The top has a swing A-line and a single button for fastening at the collar. The fabric for the outer dress should be denser and more beautiful, an additional plus is different, but combined colors.

For the overlay, the same fabric is suitable as for the underdress. Decorate top layer costume with beautiful appliqués in the form of snowflakes (you can buy ready-made ones), or you can use foil or shiny fabric. Embroider the bottom with beads, glass beads, pearls and sparkles.

The lower part of the dress and sleeves will be framed with faux white fur. This is easy to buy at a fabric store. A large sparkling brooch will look impressive on your chest. You can also make it yourself, for example from:

  • beads;
  • foil;
  • cardboard;
  • small elements of broken toys, etc.

White boots or boots and a hat on your head will complete your winter look. The ideal option is a cap made of wedges, made from the same fabric as the outer dress. Decorate it with snowflake appliqué, fur and pom-poms on long laces of different lengths.

Winter is cold and unapproachable, so feel free to use face makeup. White lipstick, light powder, silver eyelashes, as if dusted with snow, will look great. Don’t forget about white mittens or, at worst, gloves, artificial “snow” in your hands or in a basket for playing with children.

This outfit, by the way, is perfect for a pregnant woman - in it expectant mother will feel comfortable and easy.

Beautiful elf

For an elf costume, just like snowflakes, a swimsuit or tight top in bright green or blue color will serve as a top. The decoration will be 2 satin stripes with a width of up to 3 cm on the chest, several tones lighter than the swimsuit. You can place it in the center beautiful pattern made of dark velvet fabric with large beads, sequins or buttons.

The main element of the outfit is the wings. They are based on a wire frame. Pull it on transparent fabric suitable color (white, soft blue, pink or yellow). An excellent option - old colored ones nylon tights. They must be without holes or arrows. Process top part wings with matching colored braid, velvet, decorate with beads and sparkles. Make fastenings in the likeness of a “satchel” from rubber bands or elastic fabric for the arms, pulled together on the chest.

How to choose fabric for a skirt? Search among light and hard options. For example, tulle or nylon are suitable. The skirt can be multi-layered, decorated with beads and glass beads, pearls and beads. Good decision- replacing the fabric with crepe paper, sewn onto a wide braid or elastic band in a tightly gathered form. To prevent such a skirt from “creeping” up, it must be fastened to the base of the top using buttons or hooks. For boys, a suit option is with trousers or shorts.

On their feet, little and adult elves can wear fashionable colored tights to match the outfit and dance shoes, which can also be trimmed and decorated with the same remains of tights from the wings.

Snowman - an idea for everyone

The list of traditional costumes is completed by a snowman outfit. Adults and children, men and women dress up in it, and they always look festive and relevant.

I'll tell you how to make such a masculine or children's costume Houses. The base is a white A-cut sundress. A regular white T-shirt will do, as long as you cut off the sleeves or trim at the neck. A soft and warm suit will be made from fleece. The easiest way to cut it is from ready-made clothes for an adult or child. To make the snowman's outfit funnily gathered in the center, use a lace or elastic band.

The bottom “lump” should be round and large. Therefore, pass an elastic band or lace at the bottom - this will give the suit the desired volume. Then everything is quite simple. Cut buttons from black fabric or cardboard and glue or sew them onto the suit. What the snowman's hat will be like is up to you. It can be any voluminous child’s hat, a children’s plastic bucket, a cardboard composition, etc. The main thing is still the nose. Of course it has to be a carrot. Make it from foam rubber, cardboard or fabric on a frame. Don't forget the details:

  • mittens;
  • branches or broom in hands;
  • scarf.

This outfit is suitable for both a very tiny participant in the holiday and an accomplished adult who is determined to celebrate the New Year cheerfully in a reckless company.

Original adults and children

If traditional ideas do not inspire you, you want something new and special, the selection below is for you.

An interesting version of a carnival outfit - Mistress of the Copper Mountain. In the original, this is the heroine of Bazhova with a pitch-black braid, woven into it with ribbons of green and red flowers, in unusual clothes the color of malachite.

It’s easy to reproduce the image, the main thing is to sew it or choose the right one in your wardrobe green dress made of flowing silk. Everything else is at your discretion. Ribbons in a braid, a bandage on the forehead, the crown of the Lady of the Copper Year, or just a string of artificial swamp pearls in the hair - all this will wonderfully complement the image. And yes, it is advisable to make the dress floor-length, not fluffy, but falling in beautiful iridescent waves. The outfit looks perfect on slim and fat girls, looks noble and luxurious.

Aladdin costume - how to become a hero of an oriental fairy tale

This interesting costume is suitable for a boy or an adult man at any age. The beauty of the idea is its ease of implementation and relative novelty. Aladdin is the most popular oriental fairy-tale character, well known from Disney cartoons. His costume consists of a shirt and trousers. These are the main elements. Everyone will have a shirt in their closet, trousers and special oriental shoes will have to be made with their own hands or bought in an Indian store.

How to make bloomers? According to the pattern, of course. Use simple pajama pants and flowy satin fabric. Real oriental pants are widened at the bottom and tied at the ankle with an elastic band. An important detail of a creative image is wide belt and a vest. The latter can be decorated with rhinestones and sparkles in an oriental style.

The final detail of the look is a traditional oriental turban. A simple version of its manufacture is from a thin hat wrapped in shiny fabric with neat folds, fastened with pins. It is better to form a headdress in this way immediately before the holiday on Aladdin’s head. The turban will be complemented by a large brooch or stone, or a colorful feather from an exotic bird.

Goldfish

Fish costume - another one original idea. An outfit made of gold fabric looks impressive. Base - golden or silver plain golf, light short skirt. Next comes the decor:

  • fins;
  • tail;
  • head decoration.

Making fins and a tail for a fish is as easy as shelling pears. “Flying” fabrics, such as organza or chiffon, are best suited for this. Choose a convenient shape and length, cut out the elements and secure them to the base with elastic bands. To make the fish bright and festive, do not skimp on beads, beads, sparkles and sparkling stones. Great idea- golden foil for decorative elements and tiaras.

The tail is easily assembled by analogy with a tulle bundle. Tie several golden tulle and organza ribbons onto your belt. The longer the ribbons are, the more luxurious the tail will be. Don't forget about accessories. You can give the fish a shell in its hands, and put on shiny shoes or shoes covered with fabric and wrapped in gold foil on its feet.

Funny costumes for corporate events and more

I offer a selection of funny outfits for people with a great sense of humor who can laugh at themselves along with those around them.

A cool cowboy costume is a super idea for parties on the occasion of the New and Old New Year. The main decoration is wide cowboy pants and a hat. These are easy to make at home with your own hands if you use additional foam pads. From accessories - this is a traditional cowboy neckerchief, pistols, a vest with a sheriff's star and a mustache.

An interesting idea for a modern costume - Uncle Bert. It's quite easy to make this one. The outfit consists of pants and suspenders, slippers and a cane. All this can be found in the home of every “original” who is thinking about ideas for New Year’s dressing up. Use silver hairspray for gray hair and glasses.

A very unusual bantering, cozy and even somewhat homely outfit for a man is the Bavarian costume. The costume is comic and cheerful, best idea for a corporate event. The base is a beautiful white blouse and lace-up vest. The main thing is a wig with braids and a long Bavarian fluffy skirt with an apron. Invariable accessories - glasses filled with beer and fake breasts!

If you are not afraid to seem funny and even a little ridiculous, this option is just right.

Parents of little ones will be able to have a little fun for the New Year if they choose unusual masquerade outfits for their little ones. For example, if you dress up a toddler as a successful manager, it will be at least creative. What you need:

  • checkered trousers with suspenders;
  • glasses;
  • bow tie;
  • beautiful styling with a neat parting.

A young successful man in such an outfit will attract everyone's attention, causing smiles and funny comments. For a baby, the option can be “tailored” to a girl’s one. Replace checkered trousers with a pencil skirt. This outfit looks stunning.

If you want to tickle the nerves of yourself and everyone present at the holiday, choose something from the collection of scary costumes. I suggest an option with a crazy funny clown.

A very cool and at the same time really not childishly creepy image. Dress up in a long black tunic, torn at the edges and on the sleeves, tie a scarlet tie around your neck and, most importantly, a scary clown mask and a scythe, an ax or any other terrifying, but preferably prop, weapon. Instead of a mask, if you have the skills and materials, you can apply frightening makeup to your face.

Stylish and original costume for a girl - the monster Malvina

All you need is a blue wig with a monster's head, matching fur pads on the arms and colored fur decor on a bright dress. It’s easy to make the set yourself from decorative plush or fur. Sew simple mittens with open fingers, cut out the claws from colored felt. By the way, you can wear bright fur slippers with a monster’s head on your feet. The image turns out to be modern, bright and festive.

I hope that now you know who you can become for the New Year 2019 and are already thinking about the details of images for yourself and your loved ones. Simple homemade outfits look no less impressive than expensive ready-made suits. The main thing is to think through the details and allocate time for their manufacture.

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

There is probably not a child who would not like to listen, watch or read oriental tales: “Aladdin’s Magic Lamp”, “A Thousand and One Nights”, “The Adventures of Sinbad the Sailor”, “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, “Queen of the Spirits” and snakes", "The Cunning Trader". All of them captivate children and adults with their unusual plot, bright exotic costumes, and the mysterious world of the East is interesting.

Oriental tales contain a lot worldly wisdom, philosophical meaning, reality and fantasy are intricately intertwined. It is extremely interesting for children to imitate such characters as a genie, a prince, a wizard, participating in a theatrical performance or during a carnival transformation.

To turn into a Persian prince you need to get a robe from oriental style, perform embroidery on it with golden threads.


But with a turban hat it is a little more difficult; it is difficult to find this kind of product in the market or in a store. Try making it yourself, based on our recommendations.

To make a turban hat you will need:

  • a small piece of cardboard (55cm x 4cm);
  • half a meter of silver or golden brocade;
  • 50 cm of foam rubber 1 cm thick;
  • threads;
  • 3-4 brooches or buttons with rhinestones or pearl inserts;
  • feather (swan or ostrich).

How to sew a carnival hat-turban:

First, measure the circumference of your child's head. Using this measurement, make a cardboard frame for the side of the hat, adding 2 cm to the resulting length to glue the joint (53+2=55cm). After gluing the joint, wrap the cardboard rim with foam rubber, and then cover it with brocade on top, making a seam from the wrong side.

The next step is to make a pattern for the top of the hat. This is extremely simple to do: draw a circle with a diameter of 36 cm on the fabric. Cut out a piece of foam rubber of the same size. Connect the foam and fabric circle with a seam along the edge.


Sew the top part of the hat to the side, making small or large folds on it along the entire circumference so that in the end the diameter of both parts coincides.

The last step is finishing. Sew a feather on the front, and shiny brooches or pearl buttons on the leg on the sides.

And now - dress up - put on an oriental robe, a hand-made turban, transform yourself and feel a real oriental fairy tale!

Master class: DIY Sultan costume

The cap is cut out of shiny material in the form of a cap or bag, slightly wider than the volume of the head. It is hemmed along the edge so that the elastic can be pulled through. Then, already on the head, the “excess” fabric is laid out in the form of folds in the front part of the cap, and then tightly stitched with threads. An oval pebble (about 4 centimeters in length) is sewn into the center of the resulting folds. The entire cap and pebble are trimmed by hand with a thin braid of sequins. If you find one, you can place and sweep a long rooster feather under a pebble. The Sultan's hat is ready.


You can buy a shirt ready-made, it should be without a collar, or you can sew it yourself from white crepe-satin or satin. Make a pattern on paper and transfer it to fabric. Cut and sew a versatile shirt that can be worn with any suit. The main thing is that the sleeve is wide.

The Sultan's costume includes cuffs. They have Velcro, so you can put them on any shirt, over existing cuffs. To sew them with your own hands, you need the same fabric that was used to sew the hat. Measure the circumference of the child's wrist and the circumference of the arm above the wrist 10-12 centimeters. The cuff should be wide and fit snugly to the arm. Open the cuffs rectangular shape and, having measured them, sew Velcro onto the edges.

The trousers are made of blue crepe satin. A trouser pattern that is slightly wider at the bottom is suitable. Make the bloomers long - to the floor, and tuck the edges so that you can thread the elastic through. Also make the top of the panties with an elastic band.

The Sultan's costume cannot exclude an elongated vest, which must be worn over the shirt. It is best if the Sultan's vest is slightly fitted and made of shiny fabric. It’s also not difficult to make: make a pattern for the back and shelves. Make two darts symmetrically on the back to fit the vest. Sew the three parts together, finish the edges of the vest, tucking them in. Then stitch a wide sequin braid along the edge of the vest.

Make a wide, long belt from the same shiny fabric. The belt is tied over dressed trousers, a shirt and a vest. That's all, the handmade sultan costume is ready and now your child can go to the New Year's carnival in a magnificent and unique handmade sultan costume.

The child will know that his suit was made close person: mother or grandmother, or maybe an aunt or sister. which will make the holiday even warmer and more joyful.

Prince or pauper?

Thanks to the Disney cartoon of the same name, the whole world learned the story of Aladdin. Before we start making this character’s costume for the holiday, let’s try to briefly recall the plot of the fairy tale. Aladdin was a poor man, dressed in dirty trousers, an old vest and a funny skullcap. Thanks to his courage and intelligence, as well as the help of the magical Genie, the young man managed to win the favor of the beautiful princess and gain wealth. Accordingly, the protagonist’s outfit changes, turning from old rags into very rich clothes. This is exactly the Aladdin-Prince costume that we will try to make today. It consists of wide oriental pants, a shirt, beautiful vest and a special headdress.

Turban - the “crown” of an eastern prince

The traditional headdress of noble residents of the east is the turban. How to make such a hat yourself? If you are not very good at sewing, take a thin hat that fits our eastern prince and put it on the model.


take a beautiful shiny fabric and start wrapping the base of the future headdress. Form beautiful folds and carefully fasten the fabric with invisible stitches. Hide the end of the piece of cloth somewhere among the folds. The Aladdin costume will look more impressive if you decorate the hat with a large stone or a brooch consisting of several stones and an exotic bird feather. You can also sew a turban from one fairly large piece of fabric, but in this case you will have to use a pattern and spend a little more time on the work.

Harem pants, vest and shirt

What does Aladdin's costume consist of? Photo of an approximate outfit for this fairy tale character you can see in our article. The easiest way to buy a shirt is ready-made - just choose not classic version, and without a stand-up collar. Also buy shoes with pointed toes that curl up. They are not difficult to find in any Indian goods store. But you will have to sew the trousers and vest yourself. How to make an Aladdin costume with your own hands? Everything is quite simple - create a template based on the pajama pants pattern. Bloomers should touch the floor and be very flared downwards. We insert an elastic band along the bottom edge of each pant leg, and do the same with the belt. The vest consists of a back part and two identical side parts. This detail of the outfit serves a decorative function; a fastener is not necessary. The Aladdin costume can be complemented with a wide shiny belt made from the same fabric as the turban. Embroider the outfit to your liking with shiny braid and sequins.

  • hats;
  • masks.

Each item of clothing can be made in its own style, the main thing is that the outfit matches the fashion of the past. Black silk trousers look especially impressive in combination with a white blouse and a red satin belt. A cape-cloak can be easily sewn from a piece of fabric with a contrasting or plain lining.

Any hat will do, the main thing is classic style And wide margins. If you don’t have one like this at home, you can sew a Zorro accessory yourself from a wire frame or cardboard and felt trim. Well, and most importantly - glasses with slits for the eyes. They can be cut out of elastic fabric, leather, or they can be painted with aquarium paints on the face of little Zorro. And don't forget about the sword. She is the hero’s main accessory.

Spider-Man is a good old classic for comic book lovers

Surprise anyone children's party Spiderman suit? It's unlikely. But you can easily please a little fan of a hero with super powers. So what if a boy asks for the same costume for the third year in a row, which is too small or, on the contrary, in your opinion too old for the image of a super hero. If the child’s soul asks, do not refuse. Want to be the hero of one of the most popular comics? Let it go. Your job is to prepare such a costume so that the character turns out to be as similar as possible to the prototype.

Spider-Man is an amazing hero who can do things that we ordinary people cannot. To make feats as comfortable as possible, the creators came up with comfortable clothes for him that do not restrict his movements. bright colors and of course a concealer mask. Place a picture of the hero in front of you and start creating an incredible hero costume!

In the original, Spider-Man's suit is very tight-fitting. It’s not easy to make one like this, and not every child will be comfortable in it. Therefore, I propose to replace the narrow overalls with separate elements of clothing:

  • pants or blue leggings;
  • ankle boots or red shoes (at worst, socks);
  • blue turtleneck with inserts;
  • red gloves;
  • Spiderman mask.

All red parts of the costume must be painted with “spider web”. It wouldn’t hurt to embroider tiny “spiders” or stick them as appliques on clothes in different places. This is the simplest option. A more difficult option for those who know at least a little sewing.

First, decide on a mask. You need to decide whether it will be a full-fledged mask that covers the child’s head and face or partially leaves the face exposed. Use fabric that has good stretch while still being breathable. In a breathable suit, the child will be comfortable and pleasant at the matinee. If everything is clear with a closed mask, then the open version can be a tight red cap and glasses. Bright face painting will help complement the image.

Let's move on to the costume. The lower part is blue tight leggings. If there are no red boots, you can sew red inserts with a cobweb drawn with a felt-tip pen or paints in the shin area. The top of the outfit is a narrow elastic jacket (can be cut according to a child’s ready-made golf shirt) with red stripes, similar to how it was done for the decoration of the pants.

If you have a blue turtleneck at home suitable shade, it can be used as a base, decorated with red inserts. To make the web realistic, draw it not on finished product, and not on pieces of fabric before sewing or gluing them. Don't forget the red ones long gloves Spider-Man. They are an integral part of the hero's image.

Little defenders of the Fatherland - soldiers

Children with clearly manifested patriotism may want to dress up as soldiers for the New Year. Boys who dream of defending their homeland make themselves known from childhood. They are close to the images of soldiers, they sincerely dream of quickly changing ordinary clothes on military uniform, accomplish your feats and receive well-deserved awards for courage.

To reproduce a soldier's costume as similar to the original as possible, you will need to try. Let's start with an integral part of the image - the cap. It’s great if the small size cap was left over from a friend or relative who served in the service. If not, you'll have to sew. Use the instructions below:

  1. Choose a khaki color fabric.
  2. Choose a khaki color fabric.
  3. Draw the cap pattern on paper.
  4. Transfer the pattern onto the fabric.
  5. Cut and sew the pieces.
  6. Press the seams.
  7. Turn out and iron the entire surface of the cap.
  8. Sew the top insert along the top side.

Let's move on to the costume. Special sewing skills in order to sew a tunic - second important element won't be needed. It is enough to master a thread and a needle at a primitive level. For convenience and speed up the process, use a ready-made child’s T-shirt. Take measurements from the fabric, accurately indicating the location of the neckline and armpits.

Add 1 cm allowances to the finished drawing and cut out the blank. Fasten the parts with pins or baste, and then stitch them on a typewriter. Don’t forget that what makes a tunic recognizable is the stand-up collar, patch pockets and, of course, the shoulder straps.

If you are preparing a Marine costume, it would be appropriate to complement the tunic with a vest. As for the lower part of the outfit, khaki trousers are suitable, as the simplest option, and full-fledged riding breeches, which can be sewn at home, as an improved version.

Sultan costume - for the New Year with oriental flavor

A brilliant, relatively innovative idea - the Sultan's costume. In this outfit the boy will look festive, elegant and colorful. A huge advantage is the ease of making the outfit. Use bright silk fabrics, such as blue or red. The fabric is suitable for pants, vest and block. Follow a simple algorithm:

  1. Make a pattern for a block of wood in the form of a bag with a volume slightly larger than the volume of the head. Hem the bottom of the headdress with an elastic band so that it can be pulled together and laid in beautiful folds. To make the block stand, place cotton wool or foam rubber inside. Decorate with a beautiful pebble and feather.
  2. The Sultan's shirt can be ordinary white for special occasions, or can be specially cut and sewn from white satin.
  3. Bloomers and vest must be the same color. Sew wide pants, tighten them with elastic bands at the base of the legs. Add beautiful satin belt and decorate the finished vest to match it.

The chic Sultan costume is ready! The Sultan's shoes with the toe turned up will make the look complete and complete. These are easy to make from any shoe, using the papier-mâché technique for socks and silk fabric with pebbles and rain for decoration.

The coolest Batman - how to make a costume

Just like Spider-Man, Batman has been out of competition for many years and most likely the situation will not change in the next 2-3 New Years. Children enjoy dressing up as a brave super hero, feeling special. To collect best image Batman you will need:

  • black thermal underwear or leggings and a turtleneck;
  • cardboard;
  • yellow colored paper;
  • a piece of dark fabric;
  • glue, scissors, thread and needle.

The basis of the outfit is black leggings or a turtleneck, or thermal underwear that matches the color and style. For greater effect, apply a press of gray paint to the top of the suit. Make an applique of the hero on yellow cardboard (print a stencil from the Internet) and sew it on the turtleneck. Black gloves and black boots complete the look. Once everything is ready, proceed to making the hero's cloak. Don't make it too long - it's inconvenient. The optimal length is to the knee. Use any scrap black fabric.

Batman won't be Batman if Mom or Dad forgets about the mask. It's not difficult to make. Cut out the model on cardboard and transfer it to fabric. To keep the mask in place, sew an elastic band on the sides. A hat with ears can be easily made from cardboard or the hood from an old black sweatshirt. In order for such a hood to keep its shape, you can fasten a wire frame at the bottom, and starching the edges is also one of the options. The ears will be made voluminous using cotton wool, padding polyester, or any small rags.

My selection ends here, I hope I helped with ideas and useful tips! Share photos and instructions with friends on social networks, discuss variations of costumes and exchange experiences - it’s useful and interesting!

To turn into a Persian prince, you need to get an oriental-style robe and embroider it with golden threads.

But with a turban hat it is a little more difficult; it is difficult to find this kind of product in the market or in a store. Try making it yourself, based on our recommendations.

To make a turban hat you will need:

  • a small piece of cardboard (55cm x 4cm);
  • half a meter of silver or golden brocade;
  • 50 cm of foam rubber 1 cm thick;
  • threads;
  • 3-4 brooches or buttons with rhinestones or pearl inserts;
  • feather (swan or ostrich).

How to sew a carnival hat-turban:

First, measure the circumference of your child's head. Using this measurement, make a cardboard frame for the side of the hat, adding 2 cm to the resulting length to glue the joint (53+2=55cm). After gluing the joint, wrap the cardboard rim with foam rubber, and then cover it with brocade on top, making a seam from the wrong side.

The next step is to make a pattern for the top of the hat. This is extremely simple to do: draw a circle with a diameter of 36 cm on the fabric. Cut out a piece of foam rubber of the same size. Connect the foam and fabric circle with a seam along the edge.

Sew the top part of the hat to the side, making small or large folds on it along the entire circumference so that in the end the diameter of both parts coincides.

The last step is finishing. Sew a feather on the front, and shiny brooches or pearl buttons on the leg on the sides.

And now - dress up - put on an oriental robe, a hand-made turban, transform yourself and feel a real oriental fairy tale!
