Costume components

To make it you will need
- Elastic band 4–6 centimeters wide. If you don't have one, you can use an elastic bandage.

Step-by-step making of a turnip costume for a girl
Mask . To complete this, you will need a piece of elastic equal to the size of the child’s head circumference. It is better to make the elastic band green. To do this, a “cover” is sewn from green fabric. You need to prepare a rectangular strip 2 times wider than the elastic band. Sew the long edges of the strip and turn them right side out. We place the elastic band inside the workpiece. Next we sew the narrow edges together. Don't forget to grab the elastic with the needle. Trying on a bandage on a girl. If the bandage fits, we attach the image of a turnip to its middle using a stapler. It should be no more than 10 centimeters in height. You can paint the turnip with paints or print the picture on a color printer. In order for the image to keep its shape, it must be glued to thick cardboard and laminated.
Important! The bandage should not be tight. Otherwise, instead of joy, the child will get a headache from the holiday.
Getting the dress ready . It is better to take a regular yellow summer dress as a basis. It's good if it's monochromatic. To add volume, the hem of the dress is pre-starched. We sew a green ribbon along the edges of the hem and sleeves. This will make the dress look more elegant.
If the girl has long hair, then we will weave the same satin ribbon into her braids . We braid short hair into ponytails and decorate them with satin ribbon bows. There is no need to make large bows: together with the mask they will be quite heavy. The child’s head will get tired of holding such “wealth” during the holiday.
Yellow tights or socks are good for turnips. The edges of the socks can also be decorated with green ribbon.
So, with a little imagination, you can prepare a costume for your child in one evening. This outfit does not require mom’s professional seamstress skills, but it turns out beautiful and bright.
Stages of work
Before sewing a strawberry costume with your own hands, you need to remove the pattern; any child’s clothing will do for this. Some use dresses or T-shirts.
The back piece should be divided in the center, this is where the clasp will be located. The top of the outfit is made of three parts covered with green fabric. It is important to remember to leave seam allowances.
At the next stage, the details of the dress are sewn together using side and shoulder seams. For the seam that will be located on the back, you need to retreat 10 cm from the collar. Then the sleeves are sewn to the outfit.
There is a cutout on the back side so that the head can easily fit into the neck. Here, an overlock or zigzag option is used for processing; it goes along the edges of the seam located at the back. Each half is sheathed separately. Then they are pulled apart in different directions, secured with pins and stitched with a regular seam that runs along the edge of the neckline.
Bias tape in a children's strawberry costume is needed for lining the sleeves and neckline. A button or button is sewn to the back of the last part. To decorate the top of the outfit, you can use a collar or come up with something of your own.
The final work on the dress will be to create sepals, which will give the costume a more natural look, similar to strawberries.

Step-by-step execution of a turnip costume for a boy
Head mask . From holographic foil we cut out “tops” no more than 12–15 centimeters high. The length of the mask must correspond to the size of the child's head. Cut a strip 5–6 centimeters wide from white paper. We attach the “tops” to the paper using a stapler. This way the mask will stay on your head better. Next, we fasten the edges of the mask and try it on the child.
Vest . From foam rubber we cut out 2 parts in the shape of a turnip. It is better to complete the details together with the tops. We cover the parts that belong to the root vegetable with yellow cloth. The tops section is green. You can fasten the fabric with a stapler. When both parts are ready, sew satin ribbon ties on top and on the sides. They will secure the vest. The turnip does not need to be made huge. The boys are very active, and the children sit on the chairs close to each other. Therefore, the vest should not disturb others. And its young owner should feel comfortable at the holiday.
The final touch is basic clothing . It does not need to be supplemented with unnecessary decor. It is only recommended to iron it well.
The turnip costume for the boy is ready! It is simple and does not restrict the child’s movement. And the manufacturing process will take very little time.
Making masks for children
If a children's institution is preparing a production in which animals participate, pay attention to the samples presented.
These animal masks are made from soft felt. This material does not wrinkle, it is pleasant to the skin and is quite soft. Let's start by creating the image of an owl. To make a mask, enlarge the photo, redraw the details on a sheet of paper:
- heads;
- eye;
- beak.
Cut out the first, largest piece from dark felt. The eyes are light brown and the beak is orange. To make the mask tight, you can cut out 2 identical parts of the head. Connect them with the wrong sides together, insert the ties on the sides, stitch along the outer edge and where the eye sockets are.
If you want to make one-sided animal and bird masks, then sew ribbons for tying on the wrong side. Sew a yellow border for the eyes, and a beak on top of it.
The rest of the animal masks are sewn in the same way. For the hare and fox you only need felt in three colors:
- brown;
- light gray;
- orange.
To emphasize the fox’s cunning eyes, a beautiful slanted frame is made around them. For the hare, gray fabric is sewn onto the inside of the ears and nose. By creating a mask of a cunning trickster and a scythe, you can act out a fairy tale with their participation. You already know how to sew a hare costume, but you will understand how to create a robe for a fox after reading the next chapter. In the meantime, let's look at another example of creating a mask of a wise owl. It can also be sewn from felt or made from cardboard.
If you want to print masks for children on a printer, here is a ready-made diagram for you. It consists of:
- faces;
- eyebrows;
- beak;
- eye;
- eye borders.
The diagram also shows what color each piece should be. If you want to sew a mask, then sew the elements to the base, and if you make it from cardboard, then glue it. First, you need to attach a border of eyes to the base-head, eyes on them, and thick eyebrows on top. If you are sewing such children's masks, then sew on ribbons or solid elastic. If this part of the carnival costume is made of paper, in this case, attach the edge of a thin elastic band to the corner of the mask, lubricate it with glue, place a small piece of cardboard on top, and press. Also design the other side.

Possible accessories for a turnip costume
Basic clothing items in green and yellow colors are not enough for the look of a turnip. You need stylized details that complement the suit.
The following accessories are suitable for the turnip:
- Head mask. This mask is made of paper or elastic. Its main detail is a beautiful image of a turnip.
- Volumetric turnip hat. Such a hat can be made from foam rubber and yellow fabric.
- Picture-plate. If you have very little time to make a costume, then you can draw a beautiful turnip on a thick album sheet. This picture should be attached to thin ribbons and hung on the child’s chest.
- Yellow tights or socks. They will complement the image.
- You can draw a turnip on your cheek using face painting. As a rule, children love such designs on their own bodies and happily agree to such additions to the costume.
