Buying or sewing a suit yourself is everyone’s personal choice. However, the question arises - who to turn into? This article contains many ideas for men's and women's New Year's costumes.

Superheroes

The first thing that comes to mind is becoming a famous superhero or heroine. Think about which of these characters impressed you the most, and feel free to choose this image.

Male version

Superman

The Superman costume does not lose its popularity. Characteristic and recognizable colors, a famous logo and an uncompromising look are what sets it apart from others. The composition of the outfit is quite simple - a blue tights with an emblem, a red, rather short raincoat and boots-stockings of the same color.

Batman

Man-Bat stands at approximately the same position of popularity as the previous hero. His costume is also simple - tights and a raincoat. However, all this must be black. In addition, a mask is added that covers the entire head, half of the face and has two characteristic triangular protrusions - ears.

Wolverine

This outfit requires almost nothing special. You can wear regular jeans, a belt with a large buckle, a white T-shirt and a leather jacket. The main thing is the characteristic sideburns that completely cover the cheeks, and claws-swords attached to the fists.

Spider-Man

This is also an easy image to implement. In practice, it consists of only one tights, completely covering even the arms and head. The basis of the image is the coloring. The color is red with a spider web design on the top and boots, and the rest is blue.

Hulk

It's a little more difficult to portray the famous Hulk. The costume also includes gray-green tights. However, the character is distinguished by its rather large dimensions. That's why It is advisable to increase the outfit by stuffing it with something soft and elastic.

Female version

The weaker sex is also at its best in this regard. There will also be characters worthy of the title of superheroine.

Cat

Surely everyone remembers the seductive beauty Catwoman. In order to transform into her, you will need a black tight latex suit with a tail. Luxurious hair will also be required, as well as a mask very similar to Batman’s mask.

Lara Croft

A woman who does not have any special abilities or ability to transform has won the hearts of many. This costume is very simple - black tight pants (can be replaced with shorts), crop top, combat boots, lots of belts, long hair tied in a braid. Also, do not forget about the pistols, which the beauty used quite often.

Electra

This positive character is close to many strong women. The costume is also not particularly complicated. Corset, tight trousers, handmade fabric bracelets - everything should be bright red. In addition, there should be small sword-daggers that the girl used.

Rogue Rogue

A yellow and green suit that fits tightly to the body will look great. It is imperative to remember that Rogue wore gloves in order to somehow protect friendly people. Another characteristic detail is the light, almost gray strand of hair in front.

We inherit children

Why not borrow a few ideas from your favorite kids? After all, on adults they can look even more interesting and unusual than on children.

Remember New Year's parties and costume parties in elementary school - they are simply a treasure trove of ideas. And how touching and funny an adult man in a bunny outfit will look paired with his wife dressed like a real squirrel!

Men's "children's" outfits

White bunny

There is absolutely no difficulty in creating an outfit. It will be enough just to wear a light suit, preferably a soft one. But actually The look will be created by the right accessories- a small fluffy tail, long fur ears attached to the head and soft mittens or simply cuffs made of appropriate materials.

Disney characters

Disney characters are still popular and recognizable by all ages, so their presence at a New Year's party for adults will only lift everyone's spirits.

• Mickey Mouse. Everything is very simple. Black and white clothes, large round ears, thick massive gloves and the same shoes will make it easy to turn into a cartoon character of all times.
• Donald Duck. A blue cap, a shirt of the same color with a nautical rectangular collar that goes down the back. A black ribbon on the cap, a fluffy red bow on the chest and yellow gloves are also required.
• Tiger. A striped soft jumpsuit with a long tail and a tiger mask will make it easy to transform into Vinnie's famous friend. Just remember that the color must match the chosen character - orange and black.

Clowns

To create a complete look, a wide multi-colored jumpsuit should be complemented with a large colorful wig and a soft round nose. The nose is held in place well by a thin elastic band. In addition, be sure to apply noticeable makeup to your face, which will be the finishing touch. There are also many options that this image suggests, because clowns are different - evil, kind, sad, cheerful and so on.

Snowman

Children are often dressed up in similar costumes. However, in the version for adults, you can simplify the composition a little - only the upper part of the body will be a pronounced snowman. You will need a wide white fleece jacket, a red (or any other color) scarf, and a hat that looks like a bucket. Large black buttons should be sewn on the chest, and the carrot nose should be made of ordinary colored cardboard.

Pinocchio

The funny image of this character will add fun to others and attract attention. Leg warmers, wooden shoes, shorts, a white shirt and vest - that's the whole wardrobe. The characteristic accessories are a long nose and a cap hat, familiar to all of us from the cartoon.

"Children's" outfits for women

Snowflake or Snow Queen

This character is familiar to everyone from children's matinees. On an adult young lady, a snowflake outfit will look even more attractive. Wear a white short dress with a full or tutu skirt, decorated with shiny beads and shimmering organza - and you will be the center of attention.

Witch

A black long hoodie dress can be decorated with silver ribbons on the occasion of the New Year. A hat will be an essential part of a witch's wardrobe. What exactly it will be depends only on your imagination - a pointed high cap, like an astrologer’s, or a cap with thin black lace. Makeup, of course, requires specific makeup - pale, almost white skin, and large eyes outlined in black.

Forest Fairy

All girls know that a fairy must have light wings, which look like the wings of a transparent butterfly or even a dragonfly. The dress can be almost anything - fluffy or flowing, short or long. The main thing is that the color scheme matches the wings. Another addition will be a symbolic magic wand and possibly a headdress in the form of a crown.

Snow Maiden

The most popular image is the granddaughter of the hero of the holiday, Santa Claus. To dress like her, you need a long dress with a high collar and lots of buttons from the top almost to the bottom. A hat that matches the Snow Maiden’s dress will also come in handy. You can be bolder and shorten the dress to the maximum, trim it with fur and remove the high collar, turning it into a neckline.

Little Red Riding Hood

The heroine of her favorite fairy tale from childhood rushes to the aid of her adult fans. Wooden shoes that can be exchanged for clogs, white knee socks, a black pleated skirt, a white blouse with puffed sleeves and a black vest make up the classic Beanie's wardrobe. The main detail is a red headdress in the form of a Panama hat and cap.

Versatile outfits for men and women

There is a group of costumes that both men and women can wear with equal success. For the most part, these are fairy-tale or specialized New Year's characters who are familiar to literally everyone.

Herringbone

The option for girls is much simpler - a green dress with decorations and a headdress in the form of a cone of the same color or a classic star. The option for the stronger sex will have to be specially sewn or purchased ready-made. You can use a jumpsuit with long sleeves of the appropriate color, also decorated like the main New Year's tree. The headdress is a cone-shaped cap, embroidered with rain or toys.

Pirate

• long flowing hair;
• leather pants;
• boots;

Instead of a conclusion

New Year is a holiday of magic. The Christmas tree and the room are decorated, many guests come, and a table with delicious food is set. Parents dress up their children in costumes, transforming them into snowflakes, little gnomes, and funny animals. But adults themselves don’t want to celebrate in business suits. They also want to look stunning and be irresistible, so many make carnival costumes with their own hands in advance. For the New Year, everyone makes wishes and expects something unusual.

Each of us remembers with what impatience, as children, we awaited the onset of the New Year's party, how we dreamed of the most stunning carnival costume. How they imagined that this costume would transform us beyond recognition, and then make us the queen of the ball. And for this you didn’t have to buy New Year's costumes: do it yourself our mothers made them simply unique. Each of us can do this today.

At the New Year's carnival, animal costumes have always been and will remain the most popular. This wolf is made from old gray paita. Will he find his Little Red Riding Hood?

For the suit you will need gray, yellow and black fleece.

Where the wolf ran, a little fox-sister will definitely appear.

But this tiger and tigress can be sewn from old coats.

There are many traditional costumes - favorite animals, fairy tale characters, cartoons. These outfits are very popular among children and their parents. And this despite the fact that they are found at every matinee more often than other costumes and have absolutely no claim to originality. And although they are often made from second-hand clothes, this does not diminish the attractiveness of the outfits. After all, who can be left indifferent by a BUTTERFLY or MOTH costume? And to embody the image of an insect-girl, you just need to put on the child an elegant light blouse and a dark (or better yet, black) skirt, tights and shoes. You will need to make a hoop for your head from black fabric on a cardboard base, on which you should attach wire antennae with beads or balls at the tips. The main work will be making the wings. To begin with, take a piece of light, plain silk - white, blue, pink or yellow. From it, a blank for wings in the shape of a semicircle is cut out, stretched and painted with watercolor paint or aniline dye according to your desire and imagination. The only requirement for the drawing is that it be symmetrical. After the design has completely dried, the fabric is collected in the center and attached to the neck, and the tips of the wings to the wrists.

For the moth costume you only need a mask, a pink dress and bracelets.

Little snowman and sun. A wonderful, albeit dangerous tandem.

These owls are easy to make if you find a skillful use for the flaps.

But this is how you can easily turn a moth into a cat and vice versa.

For the cunning animal you will need a red robe or dress and a white jacket.

To make a Christmas tree outfit, you will only need a little over half an hour. First, a sundress and a cap are made from corrugated paper, naturally green. The sundress is decorated with glued paper toys and garlands, and a top in the form of a star or icicle is attached to the cap.

Christmas tree with real lights. Below we have given a master class on how to make it.

Stock up on supplies, buttons, green fabric and garland.

Make a pattern on an old newspaper. Hint: you can make it from an old T-shirt.

Transfer the pattern onto the fabric. Choose a thicker fabric.

Measure twice, cut once, make the back and front of the Christmas tree.

On the wrong side, mark the cutouts for the garland with chalk.

Insert small pieces of wire - they will hold the garlands.

Secure the garland with wire.

For safety, you need to sew on a lining, because the suit is for children.

All that remains is to connect the garland to the batteries; you can’t do it without dad.

Shine Christmas tree!

Often DIY children's New Year's costumes remade from a bag dress of the required length or a sundress. For example, a SNOWMAN: a child puts on boots or thick white socks, a hat made of shiny paper like silver foil is put on his head, or you can put on a real small bucket. The lower edge of the headdress is trimmed (or pasted over) with “hair” - rain, thin synthetic padding, white fur or woolen threads. Next, a white synthetic sundress is put on a white turtleneck and belted with a rain ribbon. You can attach a paper carrot with a soft elastic band to your nose.

If you have a fun hat, a red scarf and a white turtleneck, then you don't have to worry about a Snowman costume.

For the Clown you will need something striped and crazy bright.

Striped tights and red wigs will turn you into charming clowns.

You can just as easily make a MANTASTIC costume, to implement which you just need to wear red corduroy breeches with a lace white blouse or a jumpsuit decorated with an appliqué on the chest. Well, the red cardboard cap, of course, is covered with white circles. There will be no special material or physical costs required when making a GNOME costume. Again, take red breeches, a fluffy lace blouse, over which a yellow vest is put on. The blouse can be replaced with a shirt with removable cuffs and a fluffy collar. All that remains is to adapt a cap made of red fabric, a potato nose with an elastic band, a beard made of white or yellow foam rubber (can be replaced with fringe, padding polyester or fur). And, of course, no gnome costume would be complete without a small flashlight, which will be the finishing touch to this fabulous image.

This hat is made on a wire frame.

If you need to make DIY New Year's costume for a girl, then you can start with the image of a SNOWFLAKE. Just like in Soviet times, today it remains the cherished dream of every girl. So what if this idea is not very new and original. So what if we ourselves once sported this look. Probably, it’s time to initiate my daughter into Snowflakes. So, the basis of the snowflake image is a white dress, light and flowing. A dress made of semi-transparent airy fabric with lurex trim looks most beautiful. An unlimited number of ruffles, laces and frills in an outfit will be welcome. You can also decorate the dress with rain and blue and blue details. Shoes and tights can be chosen white or light blue. A girl's hairstyle can be decorated with a tiara. The look of a crystal snowflake will be complemented by gloves or mittens to match the dress.

If you don't like to sew, make a Christmas tree out of cardboard and soft toys.

Then things will get more complicated: be able to make a long golden braid. Although, there is nothing unusual here either: a simple hairband, to which golden or yellow yarn is attached using a hot glue gun. First you need to decide on a long braid, which should be slightly longer than the girl’s height. Then you need to prepare strands of yarn of the required length, making sure that the threads do not get tangled. The hair from the headband is left at a short length, modeling something like a wig, and then it is braided into an ordinary classic long braid, and you will gradually need to weave golden rain, ribbons and flowers into it, thus decorating the hairstyle. Then a braid is braided from shorter threads, which will correspond to the length of the base - the headband. Using the same glue gun, the braid is glued to the headband on its outer side, decorating the hairstyle and hiding the not very aesthetic moments in it. This is how you can please your beloved daughter, showing only a little imagination and patience.

Just like for a girl, there is nothing particularly difficult about making a New Year’s costume for a boy with his own hands. Moreover, there are more than enough suitable ideas. Or you can realize your own ideas, because behind you is your own childhood with a lot of memories of New Year’s celebrations. For example, even today boys are crazy about the MUSKETERS, whose costume is the embodiment of adventurous adventures, male fearlessness and charm. And it consists of a white shirt, breeches decorated with bows on the cuffs, as well as boots, complemented by spurs, which can be cut out of thick cardboard, covered with foil, pierced with wire and attached to the boots. The musketeer cloak is cut out of bright satin fabric in the shape of a semicircle, decorated with a cross painted in gold or cut out of golden brocade and sewn onto the front side of the cloak. The hat is made from black thick paper or simply whatman paper painted black. It is decorated with a strap with a “golden” buckle, as well as real feathers or cut out of white paper. The headdress will look richer when its brim is quite wide and the feathers attached to it are long and thick. And of course, what is a musketeer without a sword! You can buy it at any toy store or make it yourself from a hard wire rod, for example.

Funny minions. And making them is not that difficult.

Easy and fast sew a New Year's costume with your own hands It is also possible for the image of a COWBOY. Such an outfit for a modern boy is, as they say, cool! So, take suede fabric and sew a vest from it. Although, you can limit yourself to the purchased option. Next, fringe is made on the vest. The shirt should be light, ideally white, and fairly loose. Then jeans are selected, preferably frayed and worn with wide legs, which can also be decorated with fringe. A bright scarf is tied around the neck. A cowboy hat is a common version of a man's beach hat. You can buy it in a store, or you can borrow it from good friends. The look is completed with “brutal” shoes and matching accessories in the form of a lasso and cowboy pistols.

Do-it-yourself Santa Claus beard? Why not do it?

The PIRATE costume is timeless and fashionable. By the way, it is even simpler to manufacture than previous options. So, worn old jeans are cut below the knee level so that the cut line looks deliberately shaggy and uneven. A couple of patches are sewn onto the jeans, as well as a crude appliqué on the theme of “gold coins”. The boy also dresses up in a vest, knits a bandana scarf on his head, and ties a bright scarf around his neck. Of course, it will be good if this hero, in addition to traditional pistols, also gets a green parrot on his shoulder. And there is no point in arguing about the final touch to the costume - the black eye patch: without it, the costume will be incomplete. A more modern version of this outfit is the JACK SPARROW pirate costume. In this case, you will need a “real” wig, which can be made from fabric - black and red knitted shreds. Moreover, the red fabric needs to be folded like a bandana. You will need to cut strips from black fabric, which are subsequently attached to the bandana on both sides and braided into braids. Beads and ribbons are also woven into them. The fabric in the hairstyle can be replaced with thick yarn, making braids from it. You can add lace cuffs and a matching collar to the white shirt of this aristocratic pirate. To make a pirate vest, you can use an old jacket with cut off sleeves, sewing massive pockets and bright large buttons onto it. You should definitely choose a dark vest. If trousers can be simple, but also necessarily dark and short, then boots are needed up to the knees and even higher. If desired, you can convert them into “real” boots. But you need to prepare a light-colored belt with a massive buckle. And we must not forget about the most important accessories of this look, which will be another reason for you to show your extraordinary imagination. And this pirate has a lot of different jewelry: from belts to rings, from bracelets to pendants, from a sword with a pistol to a compass. Perhaps now your little son will be simply delighted!

Little owl...

New Year is one of the most favorite children's holidays. Even adults take the choice of outfit for this evening very seriously, what can we say about children? If we remember our childhood, our mothers mostly sewed holiday costumes for us. For modern children, a huge variety of ready-made outfits have appeared in stores, and it would seem that there is nothing easier than buying a dress and headband for Elsa. But mothers go further and invent ways to create unique children's costumes from scrap materials. If you decide to create a New Year's costume for a girl at home, then our holiday selection of ideas will definitely come in handy.

DIY New Year's costume for a girl: design ideas

One of the most popular ideas of modern mothers is tulle-based outfits. The basis of each outfit can be a dress or skirt made of this material: try making a Fairy, Princess, Snowflake or even Alice in Wonderland costume! Using the example of creating an airy skirt, we will show you how you can create an unusual New Year's look for a girl.

Tulle skirt

To create this skirt you will also need a wide elastic waistband. A roll of tulle is not that expensive, but it is still important to calculate the material to use. You will need a fabric measuring 3 by 3 meters. Cut it into strips and tie them to the elastic in a special way, as shown in the step-by-step instructions below.

Felt crown

A felt crown can turn any holiday dress into a magical outfit. Necessary items: felt of 2-3 colors, a sheet of paper, needles and threads. The first step is to cut out a 10 by 10 cm pattern from paper. Fold it in half and cut out the pattern as shown in the picture below. Using this pattern you need to cut out a piece from felt. Now take a second color of felt, preferably a contrasting one, and cut out the outline of the crown a little smaller than the first piece. Sew the details onto the headband using hidden seams, and trim the excess fabric along the line of the teeth of the crown. Decorate the resulting crown with rhinestones or sequins. In a similar way, you can create a magic wand from felt and make the princess a fairy.

Wings for a fairy

The wings of a butterfly, fairy or other winged heroine can be made from ordinary wire and colored or white nylon tights. First you need to make a wire frame. Cover each part of the wing with tights and secure the edges with hot glue. You can make plain wings or decorate them with rhinestones and shiny paint.

Lace crown

You will need lace ribbon, PVA glue, acrylic paint and glitter. First of all, wet the lace in a solution of glue and water mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Blot up excess liquid, lay out the part and let it dry. Then paint the crown with acrylic paint in the desired color, while it is still wet, sprinkle with glitter to match the color of the crown. If necessary, painting can be repeated. After this, glue the lace tape together. The lace crown is ready.

It can be made from a two-layer tulle skirt, while the second layer needs to be secured in the form of a tail with brooches or bright beads.

It has been popular for two years now. Making this children's New Year's costume for a girl with your own hands will be very simple. Sew it in the form of an a-line or buy a green lace dress and decorate it with miniature Christmas tree decorations. Make a star hat out of colored cardboard for your head.

- at the same time the simplest and rather complex image. It is quite easy to design a sari - after all, it is essentially a rectangle of fabric. But a festive sari requires bright decorations - so you will have to carefully decorate the fabric with sequins, beads and lacy ribbons. Under the sari you need to wear a T-shirt and leggings to match; the most suitable shoes are golden ballet flats or models that match the color of the outfit.

It’s also very easy to create - a white tulle tutu, makeup in silver tones, snowflakes attached to the skirt and artificial snow in the hair. From a fluffy white boa you can make bells at the bottom of the dress, a border on the arms and a mini crown. If you dare, you can highlight the cool look with white or blue lipstick.

Alice in Wonderland s is one of the favorite characters of many girls. To create this outfit, you will need a blue tulle skirt and a white apron (it can also be made from tulle). Make a bright applique on the skirt: a symbol of spades or felt worms. A white toy rabbit in your hands will add playfulness and a fairy-tale mood. In many stores you can find accessories for a Halloween costume - among them you can choose an unusual key or jars with “potions” on a string.

New Year is a joyful time, but for a young mother it is very responsible, because a series of New Year's parties implies the purchase of an expensive children's carnival costume. After all, this way the child will remember the holiday better, and besides, it’s a real game. Agree, it’s so cool to appear in front of your friends as a pirate or a knight! And girls also want to become real princesses or fairies for one day.

Make your own costume!

If you walk among the racks with similar costumes in the Children's World, two problems immediately arise:

1. Children's New Year's costumes are often made from low-quality synthetic materials. They are very bright, but fragile, and wearing such a dress or camisole for a long time is uncomfortable.

2. Almost all New Year's costumes for children are very expensive. Perhaps because of the role they imply, or perhaps because of seasonal demand. Be that as it may, the price of such an outfit can reach sky-high heights.

"How to sew a New Year's suit?" - this is probably the question you are asking yourself right now. It is difficult, requires perseverance, and in some cases, skill - this is what many mothers must think. Well, they are partly right. But only partly. Because, if not all, then most of us are quite capable of coping with this kind of task. So, if you have the time and desire, seriously think about creating your own New Year's costumes. You can find some interesting ideas in this article.

New Year's costumes for girls

This is where your imagination can really run wild. Today, the hobbies of young ladies are very diverse: some prefer costumes of various animals, others see themselves only in the image of a delightful princess, others are in love with monster dolls, and some even want to appear at the holiday in the form of a gargoyle or a mummy. Below are the most neutral, but still fashionable and completely implementable New Year's costumes for children, or rather, for girls.

"Snowflake"

A real symbol of the New Year and winter, a very feminine look in which any girl looks simply wonderful, is the Snowflake New Year's costume. Most often, parents of little girls settle on this idea, since little girls in a short dress covered with rain look simply charming. So, how to make a New Year's Snowflake costume? In this case, it is better to take a light dress made of light or silver fabric as a basis; you can choose a material with lurex - it will look good and resemble snow that shimmers in the sun. The outfit is decorated with snowflakes, rain, sparkles - whatever suits your fancy. A required attribute is a crown.

But it can be made easier

Find a white T-shirt without patterns at home. Sew or glue an applique in the form of a silver snowflake made of paper or foil onto the chest. You can use satin fabric, but keep in mind that satin frays, so paper will look better. Lantern sleeves are sewn separately from blue translucent fabric with elastic; they will be worn on the girl’s forearms. But you can do without them. It would be better to make a skirt from a dense mesh that holds its shape. Look for a silver, white or blue shade. And then attach three layers of tulle to a wide elastic band, as if forming a ruched skirt - you should get something like a tutu. Complete the look with silver or light-colored shoes, white tights and pearl hair clips in your loose hair. You can also wrap the hairband in tinsel and style your hair - this will make it more comfortable for the baby at the party, and the headband will resemble a silver tiara. The Snowflake Ballerina New Year's costume is ready!

"Fairy"

Continuing the theme: “DIY New Year’s costume for a girl,” one cannot ignore this very popular image, because almost every little fashionista at home has a fairy doll capable of working miracles, which, of course, has a magnificent dress, and maybe even more than one ! Why shouldn’t mom build something similar for her mistress before the holiday? Making New Year's costumes with your own hands is very difficult, but very exciting, and the daughter's reaction compensates for all the effort spent on it.

Before work, ask the potential sorceress what kind of fairy she wants to be: a representative of the Winx Club, a baby from Disney cartoons, or maybe she has her own thoughts on this matter? No less important is the question of what she will be responsible for (land, animals, music, flowers, etc.). The color of the outfit and accessories, and sometimes the style, will depend on this. The concept of the dress itself is not too different from Snowflake's outfit. Only the color should be bright; instead of a snow pattern, it is better to place a paper or fabric flower on the chest. Don't forget to add wings to all this beauty. You can buy them separately in the store, or you can try to create them yourself. You will need wire - you will need to create a frame from it. Remember, the more unusual the shape of the accessory, the better, although your child should tell you what kind of wings his favorite fairy has. The frame will consist of two identical parts, fastened in the middle with tape, and covered with thin translucent colored fabric on top. Chiffon, organza, nylon, etc. are perfect for this purpose. If some parts of the wings didn’t turn out very well or you need to hide the wire, then you can use New Year’s rain or tinsel. Sew straps to the wings so that they can be removed if necessary. It is quite possible to make a magic wand out of wire, decorating it with tinsel on top.

New Year's costumes for girls should be romantic, feminine, cute, just like their owners. In this case, your favorite accessories will also come in handy: beads, bracelets, hairpins, your favorite handbag, etc. Shoes and tights should be chosen to match the dress.

"Rapunzel"

Due to the recent very great popularity of this cartoon, Princess Rapunzel with her magical long hair and cheerful character has become the favorite of many girls. Therefore, every young lady, especially one who loves Disney cartoons, will be glad to have such an unusual outfit.

Main details of the costume

The first thing that needs to be created and what distinguishes this costume from all the others is the princess's golden long braid. To do this, stock up on the following materials: golden-colored woolen threads, ribbons, flowers, pearl beads and a headband. This will serve as the base for the wig. You will also need a gun for sizing materials. The length of Rapunzel's hair was much longer than her own height, but it is absolutely not necessary to resemble the cartoon in such detail. Make the braid long, but so that it is not too difficult and inconvenient for the little princess to participate in competitions and dances with it. Attach the cut yarn curls to the headband, try to use more threads to make the braid look fuller. Then start braiding, in the process weave in ribbons, rain, secure the end of the braid with a pink bow and stick beads and decorative flowers on the braid, if desired. The headband itself, so that it is not visible from under the threads, should be sealed on top with a small braided braid made of the same yarn. The wig is ready. Do-it-yourself New Year's costumes, especially such complex ones, are very difficult to build, but what a result! Everyone will remember it for sure!

Princess Rapunzel's dress is also very beautiful. It is corseted, made of pink or purple fabric. It is very difficult to sew something like this yourself, so it is better to buy a ready-made similar one. Of the recognizable accessories, Rapunzel had one - it was... a frying pan. For a couple of photos, you can give it to the girl, but only at home. Since modern emancipated ladies, even in kindergarten, may well hit the prince standing next to her. By the way, about them...

New Year's costumes for boys

It’s a little more difficult with boys, they have so many preferences! And everyone is different. But it’s very difficult to create a New Year’s costume for a boy at home with his own hands, especially for a robot or a medieval assassin. But for the sake of your beloved child, it’s worth trying, because in the holiday photos he will then smile the happiest smile. And, most likely, there won’t be an exact same outfit at the holiday. These are not bunny bears for you.

"Jack Sparrow"

Or rather, Captain Jack Sparrow! New Year's costumes for boys are sold in abundance in stores, but this homemade one looks very expensive and interesting. Start with the most difficult part - the wig. To make it, you will need black and brown knitwear, as well as a small piece of red for the bandana. Black and brown knitwear must be cut into strips (adjust the length of the wig yourself) - you will have to weave braids from them. Weave a brown stripe into two black ones, or vice versa. These braids can be decorated with beads, ribbons, feathers... Remember the legendary pirate! Fold a red piece of fabric into a bandana and then sew knit braids onto it. The wig is ready.

Put the boy on a white shirt; you can attach white cuffs made of light fabric to it. Let the collar be loosely unbuttoned; you can put wooden beads or some kind of massive pendant on a cord around your neck (just remember: the child should be comfortable). A pirate vest is easy to make. Remove the sleeves from an old jacket or coat. The more uneven the edges remain in this case, the better. Sew massive golden buttons or pockets onto it. It is better if this item of clothing is dark.

Everything is quite simple with the little pirate's trousers. Dark, wrinkled, tucked into boots. But a problem arises with shoes: you need boots that are comfortable, but knee-high, like a real corsair’s. It would be great if there were straight boots. As a last resort, “borrow” shoes from your hero’s sister or from neighbors, friends, rent them - there are a lot of options. You can, of course, do without boots. But the image will not look so impressive.

Among the accessories, we can recommend the following: there should be a cocked hat, a saber, a belt, rings, a bracelet, a compass, a map, pistols, beads, etc. To complete the image, it would not be superfluous to draw a mustache on the filibuster’s eyes, as well as draw a mustache with a black eye makeup pencil and a goatee. But if the pirate himself is against it, then it’s not worth it.

All. The boy’s New Year’s costume is ready with his own hands, even for the holiday!

"Father Frost"

This costume looks most touching on very young children. Before you start work, think about what color your “grandfather’s” caftan will be. Red or blue are the most typical colors for this outfit. To make your work as easy as possible, take a red or blue terry robe as a basis. If you don’t have one, you’ll have to sew a “fur coat” yourself, preferably from velvet or velor. The lower edge, collar, and edging at the sleeves should be lined with cotton wool or faux fur. Both options are not too expensive.

Accessories

Grandfather Frost needs mittens for his hands, felt boots for his feet, and a hat for his head. If possible, buy a cotton beard and mustache. The cheeks can be slightly rouged, and if the child’s parameters do not match the character too much, then you can wear a voluminous jacket or even put a small pillow under the robe. The belt for the robe can be sewn in silver; from the same material, make a bag that can be filled with cotton wool to make it look more natural, fuller, or with candies so that your Frost treats his beloved friends.

"Parsley"

One of the most fun and easy looks, since no particularly complex patterns are needed at all. This fairy-tale character is known to everyone, and everyone also knows his funny clownish outfit. There's so much room for imagination! The brighter the wardrobe items are, the better. Take a bright shirt, let it be checked, striped, plain - it’s not so important. You can sew contrasting patches onto it using large stitches (they can be easily torn off later). If she is large, it’s not scary, because Petrushka often wore baggy clothes in fairy tales. You can take trousers in a dark shade, but it’s better not to take jeans: the look will be too modern, and in this case a certain archaism is needed. It would be ideal if you can sew multi-colored pants: one leg is red and the other, say, green - this is a classic.

The only thing that definitely needs to be built is the cap. Without him, Parsley definitely won’t work. Let it be made of two multi-colored rags or one-color, but bright, whatever your heart desires. The shirt should be belted with a bright belt or belt. It is advisable to rouge the cheeks, as in the case of Santa Claus. You can hang two wooden spoons tied together around Petrushka’s neck, because this character loved to play music. As a rule, he wears red boots on his feet, but if it is difficult to get the same ones, then even bright sneakers can do, although this will be a slight deviation from the chosen role.

Homemade costume is better

Whatever costume you choose for your child, it will still be the most beautiful and brightest at any holiday, because outfits created with your own hands are always original and unusual. And the greatest gratitude for the needlewoman will be the child’s eyes glowing with happiness and joy. Making New Year's costumes with your own hands is very interesting. The photographs taken at the matinee will arouse pride for a long time, and not only because you have the most wonderful son or daughter, but also because you created such unprecedented beauty that is on the child yourself, with your own hands. As already mentioned, children's New Year's costumes are presented in abundance on store shelves, but it is more valuable to create such a miracle yourself.
