consists of elements: 1. Dress 2. Half gloves 3. Obi belt with tail 4. Hat 5. Wings
Recommendations for choosing fabrics and accessories
For the costume you will need:
bright iridescent blue-green knitted fabric (large selection in ballroom dance stores); ready-made fishnet tights in silver (or any other) color; artificial leather for a blue or green belt, sequins, easily bendable wire; white tulle or stretch chiffon or silver mesh for wings; hat elastic, metal strainers with a diameter of about 7 cm or “dragonfly” sunglasses with large lenses, padding polyester.
Description of work
Dress.
Sew the dress according to any pattern and description from a fashion magazine. It is advisable to choose the simplest style, because... it will go better with iridescent multi-color fabric. For example, a dress that is not cut at the waist, a straight or A-shaped silhouette, a lowered shoulder forms a sleeve, a boat neckline. Embroider the chest with sequins.
Half gloves.
Sew “tubes” from knitwear with pointed ends extending onto the middle finger, attach a headband made of hat elastic.
Belt.
Sew a wide obi belt from faux leather. Various options can be found online. Sew a wide and very long cone from the main fabric, fill it with synthetic padding and make several transverse constrictions. Attach the resulting “tail” to a wide belt and wear it over the dress.
Cap.
Sew an insect cap according to our pattern and description. Break off the handle of two kitchen strainers, leaving only the strainer itself. Sew strainers to the cap so that it looks like the voluminous eyes of a dragonfly. Alternatively, you can use large round sunglasses. In order for them to look like the eyes of a dragonfly, it is necessary to apply a pattern – a grid – with a white “stroke”.
Wings.
The dragonfly has peculiar, elongated wings that curve upward. In this case, the upper and lower pairs are practically parallel to each other and horizontally. Bend the upper and lower pairs of wings from wire. According to the shape of the frame, cut out the wing parts, sew them, and stretch them onto the frame. Fasten the upper and lower pairs together. Sew on a hat elastic and put it on your shoulders like a satchel.

White dragonfly
This look is suitable for an adult girl, for example, a schoolgirl. How to make a dragonfly costume for a girl with your own hands? The basis of the image will be a long white dress. You can sew a translucent top layer on it, for example, hand-painted chiffon. Transparent fabric will add sophistication to the look, and the pattern will make even an ordinary dress unique. Light clothing will not hold massive wings well, and attaching them will be inconvenient. Therefore, you need to wear a thick vest on top of the dress. It doesn't have to be long. A shortened version is quite suitable. The wings should be made of film. We cut out a shape from it, and then fill it with transparent glue on top. It can be either titanium or regular office glue. When the wings harden, you need to apply a design on them. The veins should be painted with gouache. You need to attach the wings to the vest using threads - this is the most reliable option.
Accessories: glasses, wings, magic wand for a DIY Dragonfly costume
Glasses for Dragonfly costume
Mandatory details of the dragonfly costume will be four narrow elongated wings and large round glasses with convex lenses that will display the insect’s huge eyes. Such glasses, in the style of the 70s, can be easily found at the market or in a store, or perhaps they were preserved in your grandmother's jewelry box.

DIY wings for the New Year's Dragonfly costume
The process of making Dragonfly wings is similar to Butterfly wings. The difference is in the cheapness and originality of the material used. We will make dragonfly wings from wire and... garbage bags. But first things first.
The main thing is to get a piece of aluminum wire 3.5 m long or a piece of unnecessary single-core electrical wire in a plastic braid.
Bend this wire so that you get long, elongated wings attached to a narrow abdomen (2 on each side).
DIY dragonfly wings made of wire
Now you need to tighten the wings. To do this, you don’t need to buy expensive fabric; buy 5 blue garbage bags with a volume of approximately 35 liters. Wrap the four bags around the wings, securing the plastic tape on the back side. Wrap the fifth bag around the central axis – the abdomen, also securing the bag at the end with tape.
The next step is decorating the wings. Glue rhinestones on them with super glue, and on the head - round buttons with stones in the center to depict eyes. Attach a braid one and a half meters long to the back of the abdomen. Using it you will tie the wings to the girl’s body.

DIY Dragonfly magic wand
To complement the look, make a magic wand for the Dragonfly. To do this, make a small dragonfly out of wire and also cover it with pieces of blue plastic bags. Then decorate in the same way as you decorated the large wings. Tie a small dragonfly to a pencil using wire, and wrap the structure on top with ordinary silver foil, which is used in cooking. The wand is ready.

Wings and other accessories made from scrap material for a DIY Dragonfly costume
The bright and glamorous costume of the Dragonfly personifies the graceful inhabitant of fresh water bodies, forests and meadows, which attracts the eye as it flies from flower to flower. You can see this insect in different colors: yellow, blue, light green, turquoise, purple, orange, as well as with brilliant tints of all shades of the rainbow. The large bulging eyes of the dragonfly simply attract with their mosaic look. This amazing creation of nature gives many ideas for creative flight in creating a carnival costume.
As the basis for the costume, you can take a soft blue dress with translucent organza flounces, or a turquoise blouse with pants made of light fabric. Perhaps the second option would be even preferable, since it better represents the graceful, slender abdomen of the insect.
Important details of the image
In order for the appearance to truly resemble a mosquito, all the details should be thoroughly worked out. In nature, we see that all mosquitoes look the same. Although they have their differences, to the human eye they seem insignificant and are practically unrecognizable. We can only compare them by size.
The costume, on the contrary, will be different in that it can be created to suit every taste. It is not necessary to achieve an exact match; you can add something of your own. Get creative and don't be afraid to use your imagination!
IMPORTANT! When coming up with the appearance of a character, try to preserve the features of its structure.
Everything else depends on your imagination.
In order to get a full-fledged mosquito, you need to develop the following elements of the outfit.
- The basis discussed above.
- A cap that will serve as a head.
- A nose or proboscis is also necessary.
- Wings of any size.
- Shoes that match your suit and are comfortable on your feet.
Important! All elements must be gray shades. This will be the leading color in the image of a mosquito.
Additionally, you can use red, purple, black colors, but do not put too much emphasis on them.

Tail section
The back part of the insect is assembled separately from alternating small cylindrical beads and beautiful large faceted elements.
To connect to the body, buy a ready-made ring or twist it from the end of the wire, wrapping it around the middle of the upper part of the craft.
This dragonfly can be worn both as a brooch and as a keychain on a bag. The earrings will also turn out beautiful; while walking, the tail will sparkle effectively from swaying.
Costume base options
Before you start creativity and use your imagination, you need to decide on the main part and details for creating a mosquito.
To make the image believable, you need to remember what a mosquito looks like in real life. You don’t have to go out and catch them, just look at photos of atlases or find them on the Internet. There are several ways to create a mosquito costume. Let's arrange them in order of increasing level of manufacturing complexity.
Depending on the amount of time left before the event, desire and strength, you can choose one of the options. And then complete all steps according to the instructions. This outfit will not take much of your time and will not require any special skills.
Advice. Even if there is very little time left, it is still better to choose a model with the base of the suit. An image consisting of only wings and eyes will look empty and may upset the child.
For a kindergarten party
If parents do not have time to make a complex outfit for their child, then it is recommended to use this method. A dragonfly costume can be made in literally 1.5 hours. We dress the child in black overalls. We tie a turquoise bandana on his head. We take 8 bottles and cut off the top of them. We cover the bottom with fabric or paint it turquoise. We fasten these components together. It is advisable to fix everything with threads, so the structure will be movable. All that remains is to make the wings. To make them you will need a thick film. You can also use cellophane. We roll up a frame from thick wire and secure a transparent film in it.
For boy
There are many universal looks that will suit children of both sexes. Likewise, the dragonfly costume, the photo of which is attached above, will look great on both a boy and a girl. This look again calls for a black jumpsuit. It can be easily replaced with black pants and a turtleneck. Green swimming goggles will serve as a “headdress”. The more massive they are, the more colorful the image will be. All that remains is to make the wings. They can be made, as in previous methods, using a wire frame. If it is not possible to make them in this way, then you can completely get by with a cardboard base. To do this, you will need to prepare a pattern for the wings. Cut it out of thick cardboard. Glue fabric of the desired color on top. You can use any cuttings that you have on the farm, as long as they are green. It is not necessary that the lower and upper wings have the same pattern. Different textures will add additional color to the look.
Dragonfly princess
Does your daughter want to be the star at the matinee? Create for her a non-trivial image of an elegant insect. How to make a dragonfly costume? This outfit is made from a casual dress. A long piece of chiffon is sewn to the waist. In order for the improvised skirt to have more folds, the transparent fabric must be gathered. The wings are made of wire. First you need to make a frame and then cover it with chiffon. The wings are sewn onto the dress. If the outfit is thin, then you should complement this accessory with straps. A crown or any other eye-catching decoration will help complete the look. You can also create a complex hairstyle and decorate it with ribbons, and the children’s dragonfly costume is ready.
For girl
To make a bright insect costume, you will need at least three colored skirts. It is desirable that their material be shiny. If the household does not have such skirts, then they are quite simple to tailor. To do this, you need to take three square pieces of fabric and cut three circles of different sizes from them. Make the edges of the workpieces sharp. In order for the triangles to turn out even, they need to be cut out not “by eye”, but pre-stitched. To do this, you need to draw another circle on the workpiece 15 cm from the outer edge. And then draw a zigzag. This operation must be done on all skirts. Once the pieces are ready, put them together. Cut a circle in the middle, slightly larger than your waist. We sew the parts together using a machine and sew on the elastic. The dragonfly costume for the girl is almost ready. You need to complement it with a black T-shirt, gold sandals and, of course, wings. They can be purchased at any children's store.
Mask designs for cutting
There are different patterns that do not always symbolize animals. Children love cool costumes; a mask of a plague doctor, a mad genius or a gypsy is suitable for them. Some people play evil characters at matinees. In this case, masks with the face of the devil, an old sorcerer or uncle Chernomor would be relevant.
The black and white masks are painted by the children themselves. The advantage of sketches is that the child shows creativity. His cow comes in purple and his goat comes in flowery pink. After the matinee, the organizers organize competitions for the most interesting or original face mask.
When creating a New Year's image, masks of snowflakes, Father Frost, Snow Maiden or Baba Yaga are suitable. If a child does not want to wear a full-fledged mask, then the ears of a hare, fox or bear will suit him.
Emotion masks will convey a happy or sad mood. They are made in the shape of a sun or a popular smiley face.

For the dog
Many housewives love masquerade so much that they dress up not only themselves, but also their pets. How to make a dragonfly costume with your own hands for your beloved dog? It's quite simple. We will need a ready-made hat in green or turquoise. You need to buy fabric to match the color of the hat. It will look more interesting if it has some kind of texture, such as shaggy. Cut out circles from the fabric for the tail and ears. If the dog is small, then 7 circles will be enough. We sew them with a “forward needle” seam, tighten them and stuff them. Sew to each other. We sew the ears to the hat. All that remains is to find a turquoise pompom and use it to connect our parts. You can buy ready-made wings, or you can build them yourself by stretching fabric to match the suit over a wire frame.
For a girl
Masquerade becomes an integral part of our lives.
And now you have to think not only about how to make a costume for your daughter for kindergarten, but also about how to dress in an original way for going to a party. Young mothers love to visit nightclubs and even cosplays. A dragonfly costume will look great on any girl. How to do it? There is nothing complicated here. The basis of the suit is a black combination. If you don’t have one, then a regular dress will do. You will also need a massive pendant. It can be supplemented with chains by attaching one part of the links to the decoration, and connecting the other ends or tying them into a knot on the back. Let's start making the headband. Here we need two green disco balls. Glue them to the headband and add a decoration that will hang on the forehead. This could be another pendant, the chain of which will have to be twisted into rings several times. The final stage is making the wings. We make a shape from wire, it will serve as a frame for us. And then we paint the silk using the batik technique. We wet the fabric with all shades of green paints and let the workpiece dry. Next you need to cut out the wings and stretch them onto the frame. All that remains is to draw the black veins with gouache.

Ladybug on a flower
Materials you will need for work:
- satin ribbon red, white, width 5 cm
- black, width 2.5 cm
- green organza, width 2.5cm
- stamens for flowers are red and one stamen is black
- felt base, circle – diameter 4 cm
- black half beads and rhinestones
Cut 11 squares of 5 by 5 cm from white tape and singe the edges. Fold the square diagonally. Fold it in half again, begin to model the folds, and form an accordion. We need two folds, while lowering the corner down. On the other side we do everything exactly the same: fold up, then down, up again, down again and lower the corner. We straighten the petal, trim the bottom, and solder it. You will need 10 pieces.
Let's move on to creating leaves. They consist of triangular petals. Organza square, fold diagonally. Since the part is very small, it is better to use tweezers. Hold the center of the triangle and fold it again. We place the tweezers in the center and bend them again, fixing everything with a lighter. We cut the back part and also fix it with a lighter. In total you need to form 6 petals.
Let's start assembling the flower: the first row is 6 petals, the second is 5. Apply glue along the edge of the felt base and glue the petals. Glue the petals of the second row together, then apply glue to the middle, and glue the second row to the first.
We glue leaves under the bottom of the resulting flower.
We cut off the red stamens and glue them between the petals of the first and second row.
For the ladybug, you need to prepare two inverted triangular petals. Red square 5 by 5 cm, connect the corners, fold the resulting triangle twice in the middle. We ended up with an inverted petal. We cut and singe the bottom. We turn out the petal.
Take a black square and connect the corners. We secure the lower part of the resulting triangle with a lighter. We trim the side parts a little and singe them with a lighter.
Let's start collecting ladybugs. Let's glue the wings, glue the tail, the head in the form of a half-bead, antennae, and make dots from black rhinestones.
Let's assemble our hairpin. Glue the ladybug to the flower and stick it on the hairpin.
