Cucumber costume for a boy made of fabric (The structure of tissues of living organisms is studied by the science of histology)

In order to create a suit from fabric (The structure of tissues of living organisms is studied by the science of histology)

we will need:

Greenish tissue (medical system of cells and intercellular substance, united by a common origin, structure and functions)
Needle
Sewing machine
Little time and imagination

We will sew a fairly ordinary suit. The trousers are sewn according to a regular pattern, without undercuts.

We insert elastic bands into the waistband and bottom.

We will cut the cape on the base of the shirt, increase the shoulder slopes and round the bottom.

We cut the hat based on the size of the head plus 2 cm on the St. fit. Divide the resulting measurement by 6, cut out a petal with a height of approximately 20 cm and when cutting it onto fabric (The structure of tissues of living organisms is studied by the science of histology)

duplicate it with non-woven fabric (later I had to adjust it to the head itself - it’s better to cut out a little more) with the calculated width.

Bias tape in color in half, stitch it without turning it inside out, pull it all over the wire and sew leaves at one end (we cut out two mirror sheets, duplicate them with interlining, glue them together with the tail, and process them with a zigzag like embroidery).

Finish the cape and the bottom of the cap along all the cuts and cuts with bias tape in the same color.

You can create embroidery on the theme of a cucumber, but be sure to glue interlining under the embroidery so as not to pull it off (the pimples are thermal rhinestones).

As a result, we will get one of these beautiful and amazing costumes

Autumn fungus is a favorite children's holiday character

A mushroom costume is, indeed, one of the most common outfits for a children's autumn party.

The most important thing about it is the hat. There are a great many options for its manufacture. The simplest one is to cut out a circle from colored material or cardboard and, folding it into a cone, fix it with a stapler or glue (if you took cardboard, then paint it according to your idea). The radius of the circle is approximately 45 cm.

Fly agaric hat

To work you will need:

red cloth,
white shreds,
cotton pads,
glue,
scissors,
padding polyester

Cut out a circle from red fabric (see figure above). The width of the circle is taken arbitrarily, but not more than 50 cm.

We randomly sew cotton pads onto the fabric. Sew the edges of the product from the inside out.

From white fabric we make a circle of slightly smaller diameter than the previous one. Both pieces, leaving a hole of about 2-3 cm, are sewn together with their right sides facing each other. We fill this hole with padding polyester and sew it up.

We make small ribbons. You can put a white organza ribbon along the edge. This will give the hat a fluffy look.

A fly agaric hat can be made from polka dot fabric. And to make a basic suit, use white satin or twill.

Boletus mushroom made of papier-mâché

To work you will need:

unnecessary beach ball,
paste,
foam rubber,
scissors,
newspapers,
White paper,
gouache.

Watch how to make papier-mâché paste in this video master class.

We tear the newspaper into small pieces. Using paste, glue half of the ball with these pieces. Paste it in several layers.

We are waiting for it all to dry well.

We also make small pieces of white paper and cover half of the ball with them again.

Let it dry thoroughly.

We deflate the ball. We trim the edges evenly and cover them with brown paint.

We make a circle out of foam rubber, leaving a slot for the head. We put the foam circle into the hat and fix it.

The top of the hat can be decorated with leaves and mushrooms made of colored cardboard.

Foam Tomato

To sew such an outfit for a boy, you will need a sheet of thin foam rubber and red and green satin fabric. If you decide to decorate such a Tomato costume with eyes and mouth, you will also need to have pieces of white and black material. We start by cutting out two identical circles from foam rubber. Next we place them on red fabric, folded in four, and trace the contours. We leave another centimeter of fabric along the edges for stitching. Cut out the parts with sharp scissors.

Foam rubber is placed in the middle between pieces of fabric and sewn in a circle. This is how we design the front and back parts of the Tomato costume. Parts of the outfit are sewn together so that the neckline and holes for the arms remain open. On the front part, an applique of a cheerful vegetable face is made, if desired. All that remains is to sew the hat. It is made from diamond-shaped wedges sewn together. A branch of the stalk is attached to the top. Under a suit, you can simply wear dark trousers and a white turtleneck or shirt.
