Master class: DIY Sultan costume

The hat 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 you can stretch the elastic. Then, already on the head, the “extra” fabric is laid out in the form of folds in the front of the cap, and then it is tightly stitched with threads. An oval pebble (about 4 centimeters in length) is sewn into the center of the resulting folds. The whole cap in a circle and a pebble is sheathed by hand with a thin braid of sequins. Under the pebble, if you find it, you can put and sweep a long rooster feather. Sultan's hat is ready.

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

The Sultan's costume provides - cuffs. They are 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 when sewing the hat. Measure the circumference of the child's wrist and the circumference of the arm above the wrist by 10-12 centimeters. The cuff should be wide and tight to the arm. Open the cuffs of a rectangular shape and, having measured them, sew Velcro on the edges.

Pants are made of blue crepe satin. Suitable pattern of trousers, slightly expanded to the bottom. Make the bloomers long - to the floor, and tuck the edges so that you can thread the elastic. Also make the top of the pants with an elastic band.

The sultan's costume cannot exclude an elongated waistcoat, which must be worn over the top of the shirt. It is best if the Sultan's vest is a little fitted and made of shiny fabric. It is also not difficult to make it: make a pattern for the back and shelves. On the back, symmetrically make two tucks to fit the vest. Sew three parts together, process the edges of the vest by tucking them. Then, sew 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, shirts and vests. That's all the DIY sultan costume is ready and now your child can go to the New Year's carnival in a magnificent and unique handmade sultan costume.

If you are not very good at sewing, take a thin hat that fits our oriental prince and put it on the model. Choose a beautiful shiny fabric and start wrapping the base of the future headdress. Form beautiful folds and carefully fasten the fabric with inconspicuous stitches. Hide the end of the piece of fabric somewhere among the folds. Aladdin's 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's feather. It is also possible to 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 working.

Everything is quite simple - create a template based on the pants. Bloomers should touch the floor and be strongly flared downwards. We insert an elastic band along the bottom edge into each leg, we do the same with the belt. The vest consists of a back part - a back and two lateral identical parts.

In the form of a terrible and terrible Hulk

To adults, the green, huge and quick-tempered Hulk may seem like the personification of evil. Children look at the hero through the prism of admiration for the strength and courage of the character. They believe that being strong and formidable is great and dream to try on unusual image green monster. Parents have no choice but to strain their imagination and make a dream come true for the little hero on New Year's Eve.

Let's remember what the Hulk looked like. Besides being big and green, what do you know about this monster? Let me remind you that he was wearing nothing but torn knee-length pants.

The Hulk's hair is dark and disheveled, his face is twisted with anger and rage. The problem of hair and a terrible face is easily solved with the help of a mask of a comic and cartoon hero. Of course, you can try face painting, but the mask looks much more spectacular.

Another thing is the Hulk's torso. He's not just big. It's a walking mountain of muscle. A child with a similar result can be helped to achieve with the help of a special quilted vest or jacket, if the muscles are not only on the chest, but also on the arms. To make the muscles look prominent, drag the jacket or vest in the right places.

With legs and arms, everything is simple. Ordinary green leggings or leotards with ragged purple shorts and a turtleneck to match will do.

In the image of a fashionable and popular rapper

Rap is in trend today and even a child knows it. The kings of Black Star are recognizable and loved by the audience of all ages. To read rap, repeating after idols, some boys try from the garden age, amusingly copying the manner of gestures, imitating in clothes. If your child loves to rap and knows more than three rappers, this is a signal that on New Year's Eve you can help him completely transform into the image of a world-class rap star!

The coolest thing is that the rapper's costume is easy to make with your own hands and for this you will not need anything that everyone would not have at home. In addition, the fact that a boy of any age can try on the image of a star greatly simplifies the matter.

What is he, a real rapper? Of course, the coolest, most fashionable and stylish with specially advertised attributes of a successful and well-to-do person. Invite the boy to choose to wear wide jeans or low-rise pants, a sweatshirt or T-shirt, and sneakers.

A special rapper's cap with a wide visor, a chain on his pants, fashionable glasses and as many jewelry as possible will make the image recognizable. It can be chains, bracelets with pendants in the form of a dollar, for example. Don't forget to rehearse the little rapper's signature gestures and memorize a few rhyming verses.

Zorro - in the image of a fighter for justice

Very unusual and atypical modern child choice - Zorro. Those who were lucky enough to watch a film about the legendary defender of the weak and disadvantaged will want to try on the costume of this character. Zorro captivates with romance and mystery, which is given to him by a black mask with slits for the eyes and a wide-brimmed hat. In addition, this is a real hero - brave, fast, dexterous and desperate, ready for any exploits in order to help those who are unable to find their place in life.

The hero costume consists of a classic set:

• wide trousers;
• silk shirt;
• vest;
• belts;
• raincoat;
• 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. It is easy to sew a cape from a piece of fabric with a contrasting or plain lining.

Any hat will do, the main thing is a classic style and wide brim. If there is no such thing at home, you can sew the Zorro accessory yourself from a wire frame or cardboard and felt trim. And most importantly - glasses with slits for the eyes. They can be cut out of elastic fabric, leather, or painted with aquarium paints on the face of little Zorro. And don't forget the sword. She is the hero's main accessory.

Spiderman is a good old classic for comic book lovers

to surprise someone children's matinee Spiderman costume? It is unlikely. But, you can easily please a little fan of a hero with super powers. So what if the boy asks for the third year in a row to prepare the same costume for him, too small or vice versa, in your opinion, too adult for the image of a superhero. If the soul of the child asks - do not refuse. Do you want to be the hero of one of the most popular comics? Let. Your job is to prepare such a costume so that the character turns out to be as similar as possible to the prototype.

Spiderman 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 clothing that does not restrict movement bright colors and of course a camouflage mask. Put the hero picture in front of you and start creating an incredible hero costume!

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

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

All red details of the costume need to be painted with a "cobweb". It does not hurt to embroider tiny "spiders" or stick them in the form of an appliqué on clothes in different places. This is the easiest option. The option is more difficult for those who know how to sew at least a little.

First, decide on a mask. You need to decide whether it will be a full-fledged mask covering the head and face of the child or partially leaving the face open. Use a fabric that stretches well 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 to 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 in the shin area with a web drawn with a felt-tip pen or paints. The top of the outfit is a narrow elastic jacket (you can cut it out according to the child’s finished golf) with red stripes, similar to how it was done for the decor of the pants.

If there is a blue turtleneck of a suitable shade at home, it can be used as a base, decorating with red accents. To make the web realistic, draw it not on finished product, and not on pieces of fabric before they are sewn or glued. Don't forget the red long Spiderman gloves. They are an integral part of the image of the hero.

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 declare themselves from childhood. They are close to the images of soldiers, they sincerely dream of changing ordinary clothes on the military uniform, accomplish your feats and receive well-deserved rewards for courage.

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

1. Pick a khaki fabric.
2. Pick a khaki fabric.
3. Draw a cap pattern on paper.
4. Transfer the pattern to the fabric.
5. Cut and sew the pieces.
6. Iron the seams.
7. Turn 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 - the second important element is not needed. Enough possession of a thread and a needle at a primitive level. For convenience and speed of business, use ready-made t-shirt child. Measure it on the fabric, indicating exactly the location of the neck and armpits.

Add 1 cm allowances to the finished drawing, cut out the blank. Fasten the details with pins or baste, then sew on a typewriter. Do not forget that the tunic is made recognizable by the stand-up collar, patch pockets and, of course, shoulder straps.

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

Sultan's costume - in the New Year with oriental flavor

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

1. Make a block pattern 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 off and laid in beautiful folds. To make the block stand, place cotton wool or foam rubber inside. Decorate beautiful pebble and pen.
2. The Sultan shirt can be plain white for special occasions, or it can be specially cut and sewn from white satin.
3. Bloomers and vest must be the same color. Sew wide pants, pull them together with elastic bands at the base of the legs. Add a beautiful satin belt and decorate the finished vest to match it.

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. Kids love dressing up as the brave superhero and feel special. To assemble the best image of 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 is suitable in color and style. For greater effect, apply a press to the upper part of the suit with gray paint. Make a hero applique on yellow cardboard (print a stencil from the network) and sew on a turtleneck. Black gloves and black boots complete the look. Once everything is ready, proceed to the manufacture of the hero's cloak. Don't make it too long - it's inconvenient. The optimal length is to the knee. Use any unnecessary black fabric.

Batman won't be Batman if mom or dad forgets the mask. Make it easy. Cut out the model on cardboard and transfer to fabric. To keep the mask on, sew an elastic band on the sides. A hat with ears is easy to make from cardboard or a hood from an old black sweatshirt. In order for such a hood to keep its shape, a wire frame can be fixed in the lower part, starching the edges is also one of the options. The ears will be made voluminous by a filler made of cotton wool, synthetic winterizer, 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 costume variations and exchange experiences - it's useful and interesting!
