New Year is a magical holiday. For every child it is special: some are waiting to meet Santa Claus, receive the desired gifts, lots of guests and delicious food, while others are waiting for a real fairy tale - something that does not happen in everyday life. This holiday is the very occasion when the most impossible dream can come true. Become a super hero, fly into space, play the role of a princess, a cute funny animal, a clown, a fairy or even a dinosaur!
Motherhood.ru offers original ideas for a fairy tale transformation for your child. After all, a carnival costume is a kind of ticket to a magical land! And the mother’s task is to create the intended image easily and quickly, using simple means.
Space suit
In our childhood, many children dreamed of becoming astronauts. Vast expanses of space, alien civilizations and undiscovered worlds - all this is tempting and very attractive. Space has not lost its appeal for modern children. Therefore, an astronaut’s spacesuit is an original idea for a New Year’s party or carnival.
To make this awesome space helmet, we inflate a large round balloon to the required volume. Then we place wet paper napkins on its surface. The next few layers are small pieces of paper coated 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.
Cover the helmet blank with foil.
To make a visor you will need transparent thin plastic. This happens on the packaging of children's toys. We cut out an elliptical visor from it. We pierce it along two edges and fasten it with cheap children's earrings.
To get real oxygen tanks, you need to wrap plastic bottles in foil. They can be attached to the belt or to the suit itself with double-sided tape.
To make the instrument panel on an astronaut's suit, we use cardboard, holographic paper, and old CDs. If you are comfortable with electrical devices, 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 in foil and lightly attach it on top with tape. Our astronaut is ready. Now all we need is a space rocket!
will help complement the cosmic New Year's celebration .
For those who do not want to sew, you can offer a costume of planets and stars. To do this, we make appropriate bright hat-masks from cardboard and colored paper. To keep such a hat in place at the back, we attach an elastic band to it.
Now all you have to do is choose the appropriate scenario for your space party, and a bright, memorable holiday is guaranteed!
Boy's outfit
To make a Papuan costume with your own hands for a boy, you will need to make a skirt. The elastic of the skirt can be decorated with leaves or seeds made from polymer clay or cut out of cardboard. You need to make bracelets for your arms and legs using shells or wooden beads. A necklace made of shells or “animal fangs” will also perfectly complement the look. Weapons will help complete the look:
The final touch to the finished look is applying makeup to the face: you can paint symmetrical stripes on the forehead and cheeks.
Bright Columbine - carnival clown costume
How can you get by at a holiday without a merry fellow or a clown? We propose to make an unusual move and imagine a little girl as a clown. Sweet and beautiful Columbina will appeal to an active, cheerful girl.
For the clown costume we use bright fabrics and accessories. You can wear a white blouse or T-shirt, complementing it with a voluminous colorful skirt made from pieces of fabric. We complement the set with bright socks, knee socks, and leggings.
We decorate the cap for Columbine with sparkles, tinsel, and pom-poms. This headpiece can be attached to a hairband for the clown's speed and mobility - easy to take off or put on when needed.
How to decorate a shirt?
Decorative ribbons with patterns and a variety of braids are usually used to decorate a kosovorotka. It can be used to cover both the bottom of the product and sleeves with a neck.
In addition, you can also make a belt for a shirt in the Russian folk style from a beautiful ribbon. Measure the required number of centimeters of tape and machine its edges. Then try it on with a shirt.
Dinosaur costume
The topic of prehistoric reptiles has fascinated children for decades. Maternity.ru offers several variations on the theme of a dinosaur carnival costume.
For example, you can sew a fabric jumpsuit, decorating it with spikes along the ridge and a tail.
You can make a “Dinosaur” house costume from cardboard boxes. This outfit is easy to make and will definitely be remembered, although it is not very comfortable to move in it.
You can “upgrade” your existing tracksuit or knitted suit and balaclava by adding rubber boots and gloves. Look what a colorful lizard it turned out to be!

Who is old Gene Hottabych?
Here is what the author writes about him: “In one of Scheherazade’s tales, I read about a Fisherman who found a copper vessel in his net. The vessel contained a powerful genie - a wizard imprisoned in the vessel for almost two thousand years. The genie vowed to make the one who freed him rich, powerful and happy.
“What if such a genie suddenly came to life in the Soviet Union, in Moscow? I tried to imagine what would have happened if the most ordinary Russian boy had freed him from the ship.
“Imagine, I suddenly discovered that a schoolboy named Volka Kostylkov, the same Volka who once lived on Three Ponds Street, you know, was the best diver at the summer camp last year. Come to think of it, I think we're better off starting from the beginning. »
Indian costume
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.
Indian clothing was made from homespun linen fabric. 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.
Master class watch online: Hottabych's Boots
Hi all! This is my first master class, so please don’t judge me too harshly))). The theme of MK is very relevant in the summer season - it is the creation of flowerpots for garden flowers. I didn’t use any complicated techniques during the work, nor, in principle, any materials.
Everyone has probably seen on the Internet photographs of painted rubber galoshes and boots with flowers planted in them. I really like the idea, but since I don’t like repetition, I decided to do it my own way - my husband’s old shoes served as the basis for the decor)))
Fairy costume
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.
The main thing in a carnival costume is not the pattern, but the master’s idea and the correct emphasis on detail. Sometimes an original applique, a headband, a crown or kokoshnik, or a backpack-house may be enough.
But still, one should not forget about common sense, otherwise sometimes such “masterpieces” are born that it becomes creepy.
Motherhood.ru wishes you a happy carnival!'
The banana costume for a matinee is good for its versatility, since you can dress up both a boy and a girl in it. And you can sew such a suit not according to a pattern, but freely, as your imagination dictates. The main thing is to choose the appropriate fabric - I would take yellow velor (but, of course, you can use another fabric). ** And then I would sew a jumpsuit - you can have it with sleeves, or you can do it without sleeves - then you will have to choose a turtleneck or T-shirt of a suitable color. The pants do not have to be long, they can also be shorts. I offer a universal pattern for a banana suit. Based on this pattern, you can make a pattern taking into account the height and size chart of the child. Just transfer it to paper, measure the main dimensions with a measuring tape and put them on the pattern. But nothing bad will happen if the suit is loose and slightly larger than the required size). I would recommend sewing a zipper on the front shelf to make it easier to put on and take off this outfit. Although it can be sewn into the back along the back. You can complement the costume with a hat, as in the picture, or take a yellow or green beret and sew a “banana tail” to it. For a girl, you can sew a skirt, sundress or dress, and match the wide hem with an elastic band so that the hem tapers downwards, but does not interfere with the step. And instead of a beret, the girl can tie yellow and green bows together.
In fact, you don't have to worry about the actual type of banana. You can experiment and create your own costume. The main thing is that the banana suit is yellow - it can be a one-piece jumpsuit, dress, suit, etc. The suit can be summer or winter, and the height and weight of the baby is also taken into account, and whether it will be a girl or a boy. And here is the pattern for banana trousers. Good luck and creative inspiration.
Making a banana costume at home, although not easy, is possible. The simplest option is visible in the photo. You will need a black turtleneck or long sleeve T-shirt, black knitted pants or tights - this will be the first layer of the suit. You'll have to tinker with the second one. You will need a thick but soft fabric like yellow fleece, scraps of black fabric, a sewing machine, yellow thread, a sheet of soft cardboard or elastic thin plastic (like stationery folders). To make cutting easier, make a pattern: draw the front and back in the shape of a banana, taking into account the child’s height. You can take a measurement from the top of the head to the expected length (do not make the suit too long so that the child does not get confused in it), add 20-25 centimeters to the top. Sew the black ends at the bottom and top, try it on, determine the location of the cutout for the face and make an oval hole there; it is better to immediately cover it with bias tape or a zig-zag stitch, having first turned it inside out. Make two rectangular inserts under the arms, sew the top parts up to the shoulders, leaving room for the arms, sew the side inserts, trim the edges, attach a felt or cardboard cap to the head area to keep its shape. That's it, the costume is ready! If your child is not allergic to smells and you have a banana-scented food flavoring on hand, “scent” your suit with it and send your “banana” to the holiday.
How to sew a blouse with your own hands?
If you don’t have a suitable straight-cut blouse in your wardrobe that serves as a shirt in Emelya’s outfit, then you can sew it yourself. For a blouse you will need cotton fabric and wide painted braid, as well as a sewing machine. It is best to choose a thin fabric so that the child does not feel hot in the shirt.
After measuring the child and writing down the necessary measurements, draw on the fabric the necessary details indicated on the pattern and sew them on a typewriter. When taking measurements of the boy, do not forget that the shirt has a wide, loose style. Therefore, feel free to add another half to the resulting centimeters in the waist and sleeves. I made my own braid from Emelya’s costume.

The hero of your favorite fairy tale: what is he like?
Before you start making a costume, remember a Soviet-made cartoon or an illustration for a book. In both the first and second cases, the image of Emelya suggests the slightly sloppy appearance of a young man lying on the stove all day long. Accordingly, he cared little about his appearance and clothing. Hence a padded jacket made of warming fabric, a hat, patches on trousers, a painted shirt and, as usual, bast shoes.
Also pay attention to the general relaxation of the image. Clothes are wide and spacious, warm, so as not to feel chilly. Based on the image and approximate characteristics of the image, try to sew Emelya’s costume for the New Year.

How to make a flower from fabric?
To decorate your cap, you can use a ready-made flower on a pin. Or you can do it yourself. To make a scarlet flower from fabric, cut out the petals from red fabric. The petals themselves should be drop-shaped. Place the two petals overlapping each other, making the center of the flower. Glue them together with a glue gun along the sides. Then add another petal. Thus, by sticking the petals one after another, you will get a beautiful scarlet rose. Once you have completed the flower, you can attach it to the cap of Emelya’s New Year’s costume.
