New Year is a time of joy, fun, gifts and bright festive outfits. It just so happened that parents for New Year's parties buy or sew original costumes for both girls and boys. New Year's costumes for girls are snowflakes, princesses, fairies. Boys are dressed up as wizards, pirates, magicians and even Pinocchio.
Wizard costume
Ideas for a wizard costume are increasingly taken from the Harry Potter movie. This will not require any special material costs. In the wardrobe of almost any boy there is an ordinary sweater and trousers that are worn under the main part of this suit - the robe. If your kid decides to pretend to be the famous hero of the book of the same name, then glasses will be required. Glasses - easy to make from dark wire, and you can also remove prescription lenses from regular round glasses.
For the mantle, any black fabric is quite suitable, only it needs to be sheathed along the edge with an oblique inlay or red piping. Or you can sew a red fabric to the back. Print from the Internet the symbol of the wizarding school - Hogwarts or its Gryffindor faculty and sew on the mantle in the front in the chest area. And, of course, don't forget about the magic wand. It can be made from ordinary Chinese chopsticks by wrapping the latter with beautiful tape or pasting with foil. To complete the look, buy a scarf with red and yellow stripes.
Magician costume
The magician costume is no less popular than the Harry Potter costume. You can also make it quickly and easily. The main work you have to do is to create the cylinder. It is made of thick paper, such as whatman paper. Cut a rectangle out of whatman paper - this will be the cylinder itself. The length of the rectangle should be equal to the circumference of the child's head, and the height can be any. Roll the rectangle into a tube.
The bottom of the cylinder is a circle. Draw a circle on paper that is the same length as the rectangle. You can simply place the rolled rectangle (cylinder) on a piece of paper and circle it. Then add 1-2 cm to the drawn circle. When you cut the circle, cut these extra centimeters in the form of teeth. Fold the teeth and glue them to the inside of the cylinder.
Now cut out the margins of the cylinder. Also circle the cylinder or draw a circle with a compass. On the inside and outside, add a few centimeters: inside - on the teeth, and outside - on the fields. Cut and glue to your cylinder on the opposite side of the bottom.
You have made a cylinder blank. Now it can be pasted over with foil, dark cloth and painted with dark paint. If the cylinder is dark, you can glue the stars cut from the foil on top or paint them with silver paint.
The magician usually shows his numbers in a cape. For her, you can take a rectangular piece of fabric, sheathe the edges so that they do not bloom, and sew on the ties on top. It is better for a child to wear a turtleneck or a sweater and trousers in the same color scheme as a top hat with a cape.
It is not difficult to sew a suit for a boy for the New Year, especially if you have experience with a sewing machine. If you yourself cannot make the necessary patterns, then use magazines or the Internet.
