The monkey costume can serve a variety of purposes. For example, in kindergarten you need to dress up your child in a costume of a little monkey, which will undoubtedly please the baby. Or for a teenager who goes to youth theme party and he must appear in the form of a monkey. Moreover, the year 2016 is approaching, which means that the New Year's monkey costume will be especially popular in new year holidays. But for this you absolutely do not need to buy a costume for a huge price, because you can make it yourself at home.

How to make a baby monkey costume

To make a costume, you will need the following materials:

• fabric (brown and beige);
• synthetic winterizer;

The following tools may come in handy to assist in the manufacture:

• threads and needles;
• pins;
• sewing machine;
• scissors.

It is necessary to cut out a jumpsuit from a brown fabric (or separately a blouse and trousers, see how to sew) and sew its parts. Next, cut an oval from the beige fabric and sew it to the front. This will be our monkey's tummy. To make a hat, you will need any pattern of a hat with ears, you can find it in the public domain on the Internet. The hat and ears should also be cut out of brown fabric, sewn, and the ears should be stuffed with padding polyester and sew round inserts of beige fabric on them. Don't forget the tail! Cut a strip of fabric of the desired length and width, sew along like a belt and fill it with padding polyester. It remains to sew on the tail and the monkey costume is completely ready. Under the suit, it is best to wear an elegant shirt or blouse. Additionally, you can sew a banana from yellow fabric and stuff it with padding polyester, or give your child a real banana.

If time is running out, or there are no extra funds to buy fabric, and the suit is needed urgently, you can practically not sew or buy anything, but get by with the things that are in the house. To do this, you need to pick up dark brown pants, the same blouse with a hood. Ears should be sewn to the hood, which can be cut out of felt or fleece. If there was no sweatshirt with a hood in the wardrobe, you can sew a hat with ears or sew ears to a finished brown hat. It remains to sew the tail to the panties, how to sew it - see above.

Next, you should cut out the details according to standard patterns or circle the usual things of the child with chalk, and then sew. Two parts of the costume are ready. The most difficult part of the costume is the tail. We sew it like a regular belt and sew it to the shorts.

As a basis, you can take a simple six-blade panama hat and sew ears to it. Additionally, the headdress can be decorated with a spout, eyes, mouth. The mouth and nose can be made of fabric, you can use such a felt monkey. Eyes are made from buttons, but you can take them from the old soft toys or borrow for a while. Sew or glue them back is not difficult. Under the vest, be sure to wear a white T-shirt or shirt. Now the monkey costume for school children is ready.

Monkey costume for teenagers and youth

Making a monkey costume for teenagers or adults is the most difficult, since they have big size. Sewing a full costume can be replaced by the image of a monkey with small elements of the costume. Wear a T-shirt or T-shirt in black or white flowers with dark-colored shorts, girls can wear a skirt and use the basic elements of a monkey costume. For example, sew on a tail, attach ears to a cap, or put on a monkey mask. It will take much less time and will cost several times cheaper. But still, if you decide to plunge into the fantasy world, then you can make a monkey costume. A set of tools and materials for manufacturing is standard. Using scissors, cut out the details of the jacket and trousers from the fabric of your choice according to the patterns prepared in advance. Patterns can be built on your own or redrawn from old clothes, and then adjusted by trying on the figure. Next, sew the resulting parts and, if you wish, add a tail, ears, eyes and the rest.
