Making a spring costume do it yourself

Larisa Lishchuk

A theatrical performance based on the fairy tale “Cippolino” was held in our garden. I got the role of Lemon

.
I decided to make a costume from foam rubber
.

For this I needed 1 sheet of foam rubber 1cm thick, “Classic” moment glue, 1 m of yellow lining fabric, PVA glue, yellow gouache.

1. On a sheet of foam rubber I measured a rectangle 150cm * 70cm, divided it into five rectangles (30cm * 70cm)

2. I rounded off smaller rectangles on one edge and larger rectangles on the other, because the lemon shape is oblong.

4. For the hat, you need to measure the volume of your head and cut out a rectangle 20-25 cm high. Mark five cm on one side, draw a fence and cut it out.

Glue the tops of the fence and the longitudinal seam together to create a hat like this.

5. To make the hat yellow, you need to take yellow gouache, add PVA glue and water to it (to be honest, I took everything by eye)

and painted the hat with a brush

To decorate the hat, I cut out a tail from brown foamiran and leaves from green foamiran, and drew the veins on the leaves with a felt-tip pen

and sewed them to the hat

6. Painting the “body” with gouache is expensive, so I bought 1m of lining fabric (just enough, I sewed a bag out of it, singed the edges with a lighter so that they wouldn’t fray, inserted an elastic band for the neck that was not long on one edge, and a longer one on the other side so that the legs fit well and put this bag on the foam rubber. First I cut out the holes for the hands on the foam rubber, then, after putting the bag on it, I cut out crosses in the fabric inside the circle for the hands and tucked each of the four pieces inward and glued them on.

7. To decorate from foamiran, I cut out larger leaves and also drew the veins with a felt-tip pen and sewed them on

. This is what happened.

Publications on the topic:

Dear colleagues! I bring to your attention a master class on making a full-length costume for a character from K. I. Chukovsky’s fairy tale “Moidodyr”.

2017 has been declared the year of ecology in Russia. Every year our kindergarten hosts Bird Week. As part of this week, we held a master class.

Recently, a creative competition among kindergartens was held in our city, in which there were several nominations. It was necessary in the first nomination.

Once in the magazine “Musical Director” (I don’t remember which issue and for which year) I saw a wonderful idea on how to sew chain mail from bags.

Master class on making a Lapbook “Let’s live together” There are no children who don’t like being read to. The main thing is how to present it.

Every year, fairy tales are staged in our preschool. This year, the kids from the preparatory group and I decided to stage it.

Russian folk costume is a complex system of the universe, it is the cosmology of peasant life. The folk costume is complex and interesting.

Preparations for the upcoming New Year holidays are in full swing for everyone.

We decorate our house, create a New Year's menu, choose our holiday outfits.

But you also need to think about your little family members, who start having matinees both in kindergarten and in primary school. And then there will be children's New Year's trees, where your baby will want to look like a prince or a king.

Moreover, this New Year's party in kindergarten was Gosha's last. When else will he put on a crown and present himself as a real prince?

And this is the costume I ended up with:

Creative ideas

Let's discuss how to make a spring costume with your own hands. What should it be like if it is being made, for example, for a child from 5 to 10 years old? Of course, bright, because spring is the time of year when nature awakens, blooms, rejoices, and a feeling of celebration appears in the soul. But the colors should be gentle, soft, and match the mood. Therefore, you should start making a spring costume with your own hands by selecting the appropriate materials. First, you will need corrugated tissue paper, naturally multi-colored. From it you will need to make flowers for a wreath (similar to the wreaths in Ukrainian national costumes). Or buy artificial flowers on flexible wire stems (not plastic ones!) and make a headdress out of them. Secondly, to decorate a spring costume with your own hands, you will need special accessories. These include shiny Christmas tree confetti, artificial small flowers, and “rain” of different shades. And finally, the outfit itself! You can choose something suitable from the clothes you already have at home, for example, a light summer dress made of soft blue, light yellow, green or pink fabric. Or sew it yourself - from muslin, organza, lace. Other types of material are also suitable - chiffon, satin, chintz. The main thing is to follow the rule: to sew a spring suit with your own hands, the material for clothing needs to be airy, light, light, and elegant.

Models and styles: straight

Having sorted out the accessories, let’s start thinking about the styles of the outfit. What should it be like? Here are the options. If the “Spring” carnival costume for a girl is made of muslin, then choose a straight, flowing silhouette. The sleeves are long, reaching to the wrists, and wide. Possibly with fringe. Or sheathe them with a lush “rain”, light green. Do the same with the hem - you will get an imitation of grass, and the spring carnival costume will be sparkling and festive in a New Year's way.

Let's talk about hairstyle

Naturally, such an outfit requires a special hairstyle. If the girl's hair is long, braid one braid and tie the strands with silk ribbons. It is not necessary to make the usual “three-strand” - the spikelet will look great too. You can do it differently: leave your hair loose, freely scattering down your back. Lightly curl the strands with a curling iron, giving them a pleasant waviness. Or even make curls, but not elastic and dense, but soft. If you have short hair, you can simply comb it carefully and fluff it a little to make it look voluminous. The main thing is that the wreath is in place and lies beautifully.

Models and styles: gathered, curvy

You can come up with another way: a fluffy, several-tiered skirt, gathered at the waist (like a ballerina’s tutu). Fitted bodice and puffed sleeves with frills. On the sleeves, embroider with confetti sparkles - flowers. Cover the bodice with artificial small flowers of different shades. Place pieces of green rain between them. Then work on the skirt. Decorate it in the same way, trying to make the outfit, as a whole, look harmonious and not tacky. Although, if you are making a spring costume with your own hands (photos are attached), for example, for a kindergarten, then brightness will not hurt! Choose from chiffon, lace, guipure, silk or satin materials.

How to prepare

If you need to prepare a costume for your daughter for Maslenitsa, you can do it yourself. To do this, you will need a regular white dress, which almost all girls have.

You will also need an elastic band to create a belt, multi-colored ribbons made of satin fabric, pieces of satin or silk fabric and tulle mesh. It is better if the mesh is made in a green shade. The optimal size is 50*100 cm.

Spring in a sundress

Spring is often compared to a young girl. According to ancient Russian traditions, she wanders through the fields and forests in her elegant sundress, and in each trail a blade of grass or a flower grows. So you are invited to make this version of the costume. You need a white shirt or blouse with long puffy sleeves, at the cuffs. Choose the cut of the sundress according to your taste: straight, flared, with a yoke. Satin is a very good material; satin and silk are suitable, but preferably one-color. Cover with elegant ribbons or “rain”. Place a wreath with ribbons on your head. You will be able to make an excellent “Spring” carnival costume with your own hands. Or replace the wreath with a silk scarf. Such an accessory will also be quite appropriate and will fit into the folk color of the outfit. Moreover, sewn flowers will not allow the image of spring to be confused with any other carnival image.

Useful tips

At the base of the cap you can add a small twig
that will support the leaves.
When decorating leaves, do not forget to make veins
using a green or brown felt-tip pen.
When making sleeves on a foam suit cover, the material does not need to be cut off. It is cut into two halves and the fabric is glued inside.
The cape can be decorated with unique slices
. To do this, a thin white satin ribbon is glued over the entire surface of the product, creating petals.

One of the main attributes of a children's party is bright costumes with many famous characters. The lemon dress, a bright and juicy fruit, is one of the popular styles. Using available materials and a little imagination, you can make a costume for a boy yourself.

Fairy spring

A spring suit consisting of a white chintz blouse will also help create a feeling of freshness and lightness, touching and tenderness. The skirt and cape should be made of velor the color of a young apple. Embroider them with flowers - it will remind you of a colorful spring meadow. Make a red wreath on your head. The greenery of the suit will remind you of the first grass and sticky fragrant leaves that have just blossomed from the buds. And the color red is associated with the popular saying that spring is red, that is, beautiful. The costume will be spectacular, colorful, simply chic!

Interesting ideas and wonderful implementations for you!

Headdress

The final accessory in creating a carnival costume is a hat. It can be made from residual foam rubber, unnecessary yellow fabric or an old headdress.

Using a sewing meter, measure the circumference of the child's head. We cut out a rectangle from foam rubber that corresponds to the obtained indicators. We make the top edge zigzag to obtain the desired shape of the product. Using glue, connect the edges and let dry completely. Carefully paint the resulting cap with gouache.

To ensure that the paint lies evenly on the foam rubber, it is recommended to dilute gouache, a small amount of water and PVA glue.

After dyeing, leave the headdress until completely dry. The top can be decorated with several small leaves. We also decorate the finished beret or light hat with greenery.

Making a plum costume for a girl with your own hands

The best option is an outfit using a basic dress and a voluminous hat. This option can be produced quickly. A dress with a simple cut will not restrict the child’s movements. The dress should be plum-colored, plain and unadorned. If a young fashionista doesn’t have such a model in her wardrobe, you can sew it yourself. No special sewing skills are required here. It is enough to cut out the details along the contour of any T-shirt and lengthen them in accordance with the height of the child. The whole job consists of making several seams on a sewing machine. It is better to make the dress sleeveless and not too long. If it is cool in kindergarten, choose a lilac or pink knitted sweater under the dress.

On a note! Before you run to the store to buy fabric for a dress, you can look in your own closet. Perhaps there are forgotten curtains or a skirt in matching shades lying there. Why not use them?

The hat is easy to make. For it they take the same fabric that was used for the dress. Cut out a large circle and tie it with an elastic band around the edge. Green leaves are sewn onto the top of the head.

Headdress

The final accessory in creating a carnival costume is a hat. It can be made from residual foam rubber, unnecessary yellow fabric or an old headdress. Using a sewing meter, measure the circumference of the child's head. We cut out a rectangle from foam rubber that corresponds to the obtained indicators. We make the top edge zigzag to obtain the desired shape of the product. Using glue, connect the edges and let them dry completely. Carefully paint the resulting cap with gouache.

Attention! To ensure that the paint lies evenly on the foam rubber, it is recommended to dilute gouache, a small amount of water and PVA glue.

After dyeing, leave the headdress until completely dry. The top can be decorated with several small leaves. We also decorate the finished beret or light hat with greenery.

Decoration

Additional fittings and accessories will help make the costume complete and complete.

Leaves

The foam base can be decorated with several leaves . To do this, cut out two leaves from green paper, of different sizes. We glue them in the neck area so that they are located in the chest area.

Many parents exchange colored paper for fabric of a similar color scheme. In this case, we sew the base of the leaves in the elastic area located at the throat.

Cape

When assembling a lemon costume from ready-made clothing, the outfit should be complemented with a cape.

To do this, cut out a circle from yellow fabric that is equal to the length of the product (up to the elbow or wrist). In the center we make a small circle for the head. We carefully hem the edges using a sewing machine using small stitches. To decorate such a poncho, leaves cut from paper or green fabric are suitable.

The cape can also be made from whatman paper painted with yellow paint.

It is recommended to make the end of the cape slightly pointed to accurately convey the oblong shape of the fruit. The product itself will be fixed only on the shoulders.

Making a plum costume for a girl with your own hands

On a note! Before you run to the store to buy fabric for a dress, you can look in your own closet. Perhaps there are forgotten curtains or a skirt in matching shades lying there. Why not use them?

Tools and materials needed to make the costume

To make a plum costume based on a dress and a voluminous hat you will need:

Costume elements

The bright plum image includes a dress and a cap. As an addition, use a lilac knitted blouse. Sequins are sewn onto the dress to make the costume more elegant. The hat is decorated with beautiful leaves on the top of the head.

By the way! Small leaves can be sewn onto a girl’s socks or tights. This way the image will be more complete.

Step-by-step execution of the plum costume

Sewing a suit is carried out in several stages. In order not to be distracted by trifles, it is better to prepare the necessary materials in advance. Cutting parts should be done on a flat surface and with sharp scissors. The entire sewing process consists of the following steps:

Important addition! You don't need to tighten it too tightly. The legs should be free. A tight dress is not only uncomfortable for a girl, but will also ride up when she moves.

The costume is ready! In such an outfit, the girl is guaranteed to brilliantly perform the role of a plum.

What does each day of Maslenitsa mean?

If you don't know when Maslenitsa is in Russia in 2022, it will be from February 20 to 26. Consists of Narrow and Wide Maslenitsa. Each day has its own name, traditions and customs. For the first three days of the narrow Maslenitsa, peasants were still allowed to do household work, from Monday to Wednesday inclusive. On Thursday, Broad Maslenitsa began and work was prohibited.

MK. Droplet dress

Today was a wonderful morning! I watched my daughter at the matinee recite rhymes, sing songs and dance... for me!

The theme of this holiday (as the teachers called it, “the onset of spring”) was actually congratulations to mothers and grandmothers on Women’s Day. All the poems and songs were in honor of mothers. Many of the children never took their eyes off their beloved mothers throughout the entire matinee. It was so touching!

Then the boys, armed with tambourines and maracas, pretended to be an orchestra. Everything was very nice and fun!

At this holiday, the girls wore two looks; my little one got the role of a droplet. Initially, it was difficult to figure out what kind of suit to make. The only thing that was clear was that we had to start from the blue color, with which I personally associate spring drops.

To sew a dress with droplets, I needed:

1) soft turquoise fabric 2) needle and thread 3) scissors 4) blue tulle 5) linen elastic 6) transparent blue elongated beads 7) hidden snake to match the fabric

This time I again worked without a pattern. Since the fabric was translucent, I decided that the back and front would be double layers, and the skirt and sleeves would be in one layer.

I basted the front pieces together on the wrong side and stitched them together. I did the same with the back parts. After stitching, I removed the basting, turned it onto the face and basted them on the sides (back to front, face to face).

I finished the edges of the sleeves with a stitch, swept each of them along the length and stitched them.

After all the lines I removed the basting.

I sewed the sleeves of the main part and finished the edge of the stitching.

I fastened the shoulder slits with beads and made a cut on the back for a snake, which I then sewed inside (between the two layers of the back of the product).

I finished the edge of the skirt with a seam and attached it to the finished blouse.

Finally, I decorated one shoulder and in front with blue beads (like a “drop”) and, folding the tulle along the length 4 times, stitched it and gathered the elastic band.

I hope you find my experience in sewing a teardrop dress with a tulle petticoat useful! Inspiration and success!

All little girls love to dress up. Dresses for matinees, balls and masquerades are especially carefully chosen. But if this is a themed party, you may need to sew a costume for a specific hero or character. Perhaps everyone was a snowflake in childhood, but a drop costume for a girl is not very common. Let's look at different options on how you can sew such a suit without much expense.
