Suit for a matinee with your own hands

Matinees are the brightest event for young children. Parents, on the other hand, need to prepare very well for the event so that the child feels smart and festive. An obligatory attribute of a matinee is a costume of some image or hero. The costumes can be bought online or you can make yourself.

Ask your child in advance what costume he would like to wear to the matinee. And in no case refuse him! Transformation into a character or character is one of the most effective ways to teach a child to express himself. Creativity is a necessary character trait in adulthood to be interesting and vibrant. And she is being brought up now, including through reincarnation.

In this article, we will look at how to make costumes for children with our own hands. If your child does not know who he wants to be, offer him costumes from our list and create them according to ready-made instructions.

Bee costume for a girl for a matinee

If your daughter wanted to be a bee, then you can breathe freely - this costume is very easy to sew. The main thing is to find the necessary elements of the costume in advance, and you can make it on the eve of the event.

To make the "body" of a bee, you need to choose a black T-shirt, skirt, dress or body. Perhaps you will choose a jersey bodysuit to make the child comfortable, and a fluffy organza skirt to make the girl look smart. You need to sew yellow stripes on your clothes. The body of the bee is ready.

You will also need accessories for the costume. You can also sew or glue the yellow stripes on your knee-highs and gloves. Gloves of three-quarters will look especially harmonious, the black and yellow stripes of which will reach the girl up to the elbow.

A bee without wings is not a bee. Therefore, we go to the store for wire, preferably aluminum, and black tights. From the wire you make the frame of the wings, pull the tights over it. Sew your tights neatly so you don't see the seams!

If your daughter also wants a mustache, then you can easily make the necessary accessory from the remaining wire and the rim. Only here you will need to wrap the wire with black tape, and attach yellow pumpons or plastic balls for table tennis to the ends of the wire, which must first be painted.

Snowflake costume for matinee

Nobody knows what a snowflake costume should look like.

Presumably, this is a white robe, on which sparkles, tinsel and all kinds of "airiness" should be present.

Therefore, if your daughter wanted to become a snowflake, you need your imagination and sense of taste.

You can use a bodysuit and a tutu. To add elegance to the costume, you can sew organza or crepe satin snowflakes on the body. Fur vests are also used for the costume, which is very suitable for little girls at the matinee, especially in combination with white tights.

You can also sew an ordinary small dress for a girl from white material, but instead of a skirt, there must be a lot of lush organza petals. Petals can be of various shapes and lengths.

Gerda's costume for the matinee

There is no specific style of Gerda's costume. In the cartoons, Gerda was dressed differently. Therefore, you just need to adhere to the color scheme - a red dress, red shoes, a red cape and, if you wish, a white apron. In any case, no matter what dress you choose, the girl should look brave and courageous in it. A certain secular Jeanne D'ark is 110 centimeters tall.

All edges of the dress should be trimmed with fur. After all, Gerda spent a lot of time in the castle of the Snow Queen and in the snow-covered fields, where she made her way to Kai on wild deer. Therefore, white fur is an indispensable element of Gerda's costume.

A cape, tied with a wide red ribbon, should lie on the girl's shoulders.

Such a suit - a skirt and a cape, must be sewn by yourself so that it looks realistic.

Snowman costume for matinee

When creating such a costume, you need to be guided only by the color scheme: the child should be in white, and the accessories should be red. You can sew for your son (and most likely the boy will want to be a snowman) a long fur coat made of corduroy or plush fabric. And choose red mittens, a belt, a scarf and boots. For persuasiveness, you can hang a homemade carrot from an orange soft cloth stuffed with cotton wool around your neck. To make your carrot look like a real carrot, embroider it with horizontal black strokes.

To make your child look more like a snowman, you need to add as much volume to the suit as possible. To do this, you can sew cotton wool or synthetic winterizer into the collar. The same principle can be used to decorate the entire costume, but do not forget that the child should not be hot.

Suit of the month for a boy for a matinee

If your boy wants to be a month old, rejoice and cry at the same time: your child has a good imagination and a romantic mindset, but the costume is notable for the complexity of making.

In order for the child to really look like a month, and not like a star or moon, you must make for your child not only an airy cape made of golden fabric and give a pointer painted in the appropriate color to your hands, but also sew an applique in the shape of a month to the suit so that the child did not have to answer unnecessary questions, which means his suit. It will look spectacular if you sew the shape of the month made of matte fabric on the cape itself. You can also sew 2 small month emblems on the knees of your child's pants or tights.

It will be great if the boy has golden shoes on his feet with rounded toes, on which ringing bells will be attached. Such paraphernalia can be found in an online store or sewn from fabric and cotton wool. It is imperative that such slippers be sewn onto a dense insole or sole so that the boy does not hit his heels during the matinee.

Bunny costume for a matinee

The bunny costume is a blue robe with ears and a ponytail. Of course, it is most realistic if you are making a jumpsuit for a toddler. Sew the pump-tail on the jumpsuit, and sew the ears to the hood. But if this is not possible, then you can dress the boy in light trousers (with a pumpon-tail already sewn on) and a white shirt, and a white hat with sewn ears and fur appliqués on his head.

Whichever option you choose, remember that it is better to make the ponytail fluffy, and the ears from light blue, white or light gray fabric. The ears should be large, as this is the main element that gives the costume an image and theatricality.

Wind suit for matinee

A wind costume for a matinee is usually made of very thin blue fabric. You need to have a sufficient amount of "airy canvas". The easiest option is to sew a sky-colored satin cape. The rest of the clothing should be white. Hands may be wearing white satin gloves. You can decorate the costume with ribbons if it is a boy, and organza if it is a girl.

For a wind suit, many parents often use thin blue or transparent polyethylene. It can be attached to the baby's clothes with strips in several layers. Polyethylene is very mobile, but suits with such elements need to be created especially carefully, since polyethylene is a very cheap and unnatural material. For a child to like a suit, he must feel confident and natural in it.

Matryoshka costume for children's matinee

When creating a matryoshka costume, it should be remembered that the main attributes of such a costume are a drawing of large peas, a red-yellow-black color scheme, scarves in the Russian style, a basket in hands, and painted red cheeks of a girl.

The most suitable clothing for such a suit is a white blouse, a sundress with a bright pattern within the specified color range and the same scarf. The girl may have another small ironed handkerchief in her hands.

Pirate costume for the party

Everyone knows what pirates look like. It is necessary to choose suitable pants and boots for the boy, which should reach the knees. A bandana and an eye patch can be sewn from soft fabric. Ideally, you need to put on a spacious white knitted jacket on the child, a dark vest on top, and sew a small toy parrot on the shoulder. You can also make a hat for a pirate boy out of thick cardboard and paint it black. Psychologists are not recommended to draw skulls on children's costumes.

The pirate must be given a sword or pistol in his hands. Attributes always have a great influence on the perception of a costume by both the child and his friends. You can also hang a small flask on your child's belt, which can be attached to the belt with a thin rope. After all, the rope is also one of the attributes of real pirates.

Bear costume for a matinee

To make the child look like a bear, you need to choose the right clothes. Everything should be brown or black. Faux fur can be sewn onto the shoulders and sleeves of a children's jacket. From it you need to sew a hat that will reach the boy's shoulders. You can sew bear paws from fabric and cotton wool, decorate them with special paint and attach them to a hat so that they go down to the boy's chest or back. The bear boy should not have anything in his hands, but if you add a gun to the suit, it will be easier for the boy to enter the image of a predator-hunter.

Bird costume for a matinee

To create a costume of a bird, it is enough to sew bird's feet on children's trousers (this can be done from yellow fabric), put on a bright hat of a suitable color scheme (usually yellow or red), and sew artificial feathers on a children's blouse. The bird costume is ready.

More complex elements are also used. You can sew wings-sleeves. which are attached with buttons to any jacket that matches the color. The sleeves should be wide and not hinder the movements of the child.

Gnome costume for a matinee

When creating such a costume, you should think about which gnome from which cartoon or work you mean. This will help you to collect all the elements of the suit in the same style and color scheme.

Of course, all gnomes must have a cap. Its sizes vary, but the larger the cap, the more the child feels like a gnome.

To sew a cap, you just need to take two large triangles of suitable fabric and sew them together. So that the cap does not fall on the child's face and hold firmly on the head, it is better to insert an elastic band into the base of the cap, and from the other end, be sure to sew a pumpon from the same fabric, tightly stuffed with cotton wool.

Further. Gnomes tend to be dressed in suits. This can be a jumpsuit with a matching turtleneck or a two-piece suit with pants and a vest. Also, gnomes are often depicted with belts at the waist. The yarn on the belt should be large. Clover leaves cut from felt can be attached to the belt.

As for the colors, it is usually brown, black and green, if you have the image of a kind forest gnome. Remember to wear a beard on your child, if you have one. You can make a beard yourself from woolen threads, but first ask the child if he would like to wear it.

Some gnome costumes, on the contrary, are made colorful and bright. There is no single color that all gnomes follow.
