The need to bring their son in a carnival costume to a New Year's party puts parents in front of the choice of buying or making a festive outfit on their own. From the point of view of saving labor costs, going to the store is an easier solution. However, spending family money on a one-time purchase is an irrational step.

Preparing the costume yourself is intimidating for many parents. But practice shows that a suitable outfit can be prepared in a couple of evenings. A good choice would be the image of the unofficial national symbol - the bear.

What should a baby bear costume consist of?

The first association with a carnival bear outfit is a baggy faux fur jumpsuit. It looks the most beautiful, but it will be hard for a child to be in such warm clothes for a long time. For this reason, it is worth stopping at a more comfortable version, which is sewn from fleece fabric.

Despite the fact that in nature there are several colors of these predators, it is worth choosing the traditional brown material as the basis for the costume.

The outfit itself will consist of the following parts:

a hat imitating a bear's head with ears, eyes and nose sewn to it;

a vest made of fleece fabric;

old pants of a similar color, which can be shortened and hemmed at the cut.

Materials and equipment for sewing

For a suit, you will need fleece fabric, synthetic winterizer, brown threads, glue, a sewing needle and scissors. Faster and better work will come out when using a sewing machine. In the absence of this device at home, it can be temporarily borrowed from friends or acquaintances. Faux fur can be used for the tail.

As a basis for the lower part of the outfit, your son's old pants will do. It is desirable that they be dark gray or brown (it is better not to use bright trousers).

Preparation of breeches

The lower part of the outfit will have to be shortened due to the fact that the old pants have become small in length for him. In the first step, you need to cut off the unnecessary parts of the trousers using scissors. If it turned out not quite smoothly, the error can be corrected. After that, you need to rip the inner seams of the legs by 5-7 cm from the bottom and measure the width of the trousers in this part.

The resulting elements are sewn using a machine, first from the outside of each leg, and then from the inside. After that, you should restore the previously ripped seam on top of the fleece. This will create a brown piping at the bottom of the breeches.

For the tail, you will need a round piece of faux fur to match the suit with a diameter of about 10 cm. It should be sewn around the circumference, pull off the thread and fill the resulting cavity with padding polyester. The tail can then be attached to the back of the breeches.

The preparation of the bottom of the outfit is complete!

Sewing vests

The vest can be made solid, since this option is sewn from 2 fabric elements.

As a sample for a pattern, a son's T-shirt or vest is suitable. It should be reproduced on paper with a margin of a couple of centimeters, which will be "eaten" by the seams.

When the fabric is cut according to the drawing, you can start sewing the resulting pieces of material. It is important to keep an eye on the direction of movement while using the machine. Having connected the resulting parts on the sides, you should refine the vest from the bottom, carefully tucking it in this part and securing the resulting bend with a seam from the inside.

Making a hat

By analogy with the previous element, you can sew a fleece hat using a pattern made on the basis of a boy's knitted hat. The technology completely repeats the manufacture of the vest. After that, only the last details will remain: ears, nose and eyes.

Any old soft toy can be a donor for the eyes. They can be attached with glue, or with threads, if there is an appropriate hole.

Ears are made of round pieces of fleece, pulled together around the perimeter and stuffed with padding polyester. In the upper part of the cap, small cuts are made, where the ears will be located. They are attached with seams.

The nose should be black and resemble a potato. Any fabric that needs to be rolled up and stuffed with padding polyester is suitable for him, after which, sew to the bottom edge of the front side of the cap.

To create a comfortable suit for a children's matinee does not require extraordinary abilities. Sewing can be made into a fun and enjoyable experience if you involve the whole family!

Here I decided to create a cycle of master classes on designing and sewing hats. Here is the promised pussy.

For such a hat, you can use fleece or polartek +++ any insulation you like. I have 2 different fleece and thinsulate 100ka (insulation.)

Let's start with the pattern. You will need three measurements: head circumference, face circumference, and the distance from the eyebrow line, across the crown of the head to the base of the skull.
For example, you got OG-48, OL-52, and 34

Now we are building a drawing grid: a rectangle equal to the half-girth of the head + 2 cm, and a height equal to the half-girth of the face + 2 cm, since a hat with insulation, if you sew without insulation, you can not make an increase!
And so our rectangle is 25 by 27 cm.
For convenience, I marked the main points in the drawing with letters, further from point A (in the upper left corner) - set aside 6 cm (in sizes up to 50th) and 8-9 cm (in sizes over 50th). and draw a horizontal line.
Next, we find point C from the point, set aside a distance equal to half the distance from the eyebrows to the base of the skull. We have it 34/2 = 17 cm. Draw another horizontal line.
Then we divide the rectangle vertically exactly in half, at the intersection with the horizontals, points A1, B1, C1, D1 are obtained
The drawing grid is ready.


Then we divide the segment AA1 exactly in half and draw verticals, we also do it with the adjacent segment.

Now it remains to draw a hat. We make out our sections with plans with rounded lines - these are darts so that the cap lies round the head. We lower the back of the cap by 2 cm (Point H) and draw out the front and back of the head with smooth lines, at the same time outlining the ear - arbitrarily. The drawing is ready.

Cut out the crotch, take a piece of fabric - fold it in half - apply the crochet with the front part to the fold, circle it and cut it out with an allowance of 0.7. The details of the lining and insulation are cut similarly, but 1.5-2 mm less than the top. ++ We cut out the ears of the shape and size that seems acceptable to you.


We sew the details. Starting at the front dart. Do not forget to iron each seam so that the finished product looks perfect.


We arbitrarily outline and draw off the antennae.


Sew the occipital seam and ears. Then we put the ears into the side darts, chop off the middle of the parts and grind with one line.


Then we take a piece of usually knitted elastic band, literally 5 cm. And pin it at a distance of 3-4 cm to the occipital seam, while stretching the elastic band as much as possible.


Sew on the elastic with a three-stop zigzag. On my car, this is line number 10. Those who do not have such a line can simply use a zig-zag.


This elastic band is needed so that the cap fits snugly around the back of the head. The top detail is ready.


We do the same with the lining, having previously connected it along the contour with the insulation.


It remains to collect the cap.


To do this, turn the lining out to the front side, and the top to the wrong side and put the top on the lining. Not the other way around !!! Otherwise, the lining of the boulet will turn out on the face! We cut and sew along the contour.


We make a small hole along the occipital seam of the lining and turn the cap inside out.
It is almost ready, it remains to sew the knitting.


I also decided to stick the bentik to the ear. I cut out 2 pieces of multi-colored fleece, decorated with Swarovski crystals and formed a bow.


That's what came out of it:)))

My clever husband also drew such a great design for embroidery, and the pussy became a kit with a scarf-scarf for adorable little Sonechka.


Like this. Good luck to all handicrafts :)

We sew a baby hat (pattern and master class)

I sewed such a children's hat for the baby for the fall-spring, if you take a woolen cloth, then you can sew a hat for the winter in this style. The main thing to know is the circumference of the child's head. I sewed for a head circumference of 44-46 cm, age 6-12 months.
The pattern is given in the original (we print it on an A4 sheet).

For older children, you can not make ears, then the pattern is not needed, just cut out a rectangle to fit the head.

Can be sewn from fleece, thick jersey, knitted fabric. I took the fabric - fleece. We cut out one main part and an inner part (half of the main part). We sew them together on the seamy side, turn them inside out and sew them off with a decorative stitch or a zigzag stitch, you can take contrasting threads. If desired, the hat can be decorated with a patch, embroidery, applique, beautiful colored buttons. I sewed on patches.

We carry out the middle seam. I like to sew fleece seam to seam (or quite a little overlap) not with a regular stitch, but with a finishing one. So the seams are not rough and beautifully finished.

Then, on the seamy side, we sew the top of the cap and fold the edges of the upper part of the cap to the center and lay the second line. Thus, we get the top of the hat, which will "sit" well on the child's head.

We turn it out.

If you need strings on the "ears", then it is better to sew them between the outer and inner parts of the cap. For ties, you can use decorative lace, trim, or sew from base fabric.

But what hats I got! The sewing process itself will take you only 20-30 minutes and the baby will have a new outfit!

Best regards, Admin Kotya.

WE SEW A HAT FOR A GIRL OWN HANDS

• July 1, 2013

In any family there is always some kind of jersey T-shirt or T-shirt, which is already pretty boring or has lost its original appearance, but once beloved and therefore not thrown away, gathering dust somewhere in the bins and waiting for its fate. Is it about you? Well, you can try to rehabilitate the old thing.

For example, decorating it with buttons, rhinestones, embroidery, painting with special paints, fabric flowers, etc., whoever has enough imagination for that. You can use old, unnecessary T-shirts to make absolutely wonderful rugs. Or create crocheted bowls from striped T-shirts. Or you can spend a minimum of effort and sew such adorable baby hats out of them for little fashionistas ... Or maybe for fashionistas?

See how bright, unusual and new the annoying T-shirt looks!

You can make several hats at once.

Well, let's get started.
First, the fabric must be washed and ironed. Instead of a template, we will use a ready-made baby hat that fits well on the head. So, fold the fabric in half and outline the outline of our hat, not forgetting about the allowances (about 6 mm), as shown in the photo:

Cut out the circled hat:

The next step is to cut a rectangle from the same fabric as the hat (watch out for the share!) 13 cm high and 36 cm wide.

We sew two parts of the hat, having previously folded them with the front side to each other and basing. Or you can just chop it off with needles. Stitch the cuts on the overlock, and if there is no overlock, then you can also on the typewriter, choosing a suitable seam. At worst, you can use a simple line. I have seen more than once how some craftswomen, having neither an overlock nor a cover-up machine, using only a typewriter, created such beautiful and neat little things that they could give odds to some store goods.
Also, do not forget about the rectangle. We stitch it on one side.

Fold the rectangle in half, with the wrong side inward, as shown in the photo

Now we do this: insert the resulting ring into the cap, still turned out to the wrong side; align the edges, secure with pins

Here's what you should get

Sew the edges with what we have.

Now we turn the hat onto the front side and all the seams are inside.

We iron the seams on the hat, turn the lapel of the hat outward by 2.5-3 cm and iron it again.

To keep the lapel in place, we make such bindings, picking up the threads in color.

And now, if you wish, you can decorate the hat with a pretty flower. We cut out 5 circles with a diameter of your choice and 4 circles with a smaller diameter from a suitable fabric.

Take large circles and fold them in half and again in half

So fold three more large circles and place them on the 5th

Now we fix it in the very center like this:

Now we also fold the remaining four small circles and place them in the center of the flower, closing the folds.

Again we fasten with stitches manually in the very center, sewing all layers.

And we sew the resulting flower on the side of our hat.

So the update for the little fashionista is ready!

Mommies dress up their children with cute animals for the holidays. The image of a teddy bear for a boy comes in handy as never before.

Today's master class is devoted to the question: how to sew a bear costume with your own hands for a boy.

DIY bear costume for a boy: materials and tools

The fabric from which the suit is sewn must be breathable, and if it is artificial fur, then the knitting must be loose and loose. This is just in case you want to sew a suit out of an old thick blanket that exactly resembles the skin of a bear. If the material is too dense, the child will sweat quickly. In this state, the baby will not want to have fun at the holiday. For the same reason, this workshop offers a separate version of the suit, where the vest and pants are sewn separately.

You will need the following materials and tools for sewing:

Top or front fabric of brown or beige color, terry or fleecy (the length of the pile does not matter);

The bottom or inner fabric does not matter what color, the main thing is that it was made of natural material (linen, poplin, satin, cotton);

Plastic eyes and nose to indicate muzzles or ear rims;

Strong threads, scissors, tape measure, sewing machine.

If you have a plain natural thick fabric or satin, then the bottom or inner fabric is not needed.

DIY bear costume for a boy: split suit

This suit requires a vest, shorts or pants, and a hat or headband ears. Boots and mittens are optional. The child will look like a bear even without them. At the request of the parents, the image can be supplemented with little things.

So, for example: a vest can be sewn both with strings, and one-piece, with a bow on the neck and fabric of a different color on the chest and abdomen.

Option 1

Here is a solution for making a suit can be offered from brown satin fabric.

This product requires a piece of fleece fabric, satin fabric, a bow or red bow fabric and a wide elastic band.

Stage 1

Measure your child with a tape measure before applying the pattern. You will need to know the height of the jacket (from shoulder to hip), sleeve length, arm girth, collar circumference, shoulder width (from collar to shoulder angle), chest circumference. For pants: thigh girth, leg length from waist to ankle (if it is shorts, then to knee), inner leg length (from groin to ankle), leg girth.

Stage 2

Measure the fabric, sketch the details and cut them out of the fabric. You should have: two parts of the jacket (front and back), two parts of the sleeve, two parts of the pants. Note that the front of the jacket must be cut from the fleece fabric.

This pattern of pants is the simplest and fastest.


Stage 3

Sew the front and back of the jacket together. Sew sleeves into the armholes.

Sew the details of the pants together along the upper side cuts. Roll the product so that the seam lies between the parts, and the two parts lie on the sides of the seam, folded in half. In this position, sew each piece separately. This seam will run between your legs.

Stage 4

Fold up the cut-off part of the sleeves and the bottom of the jacket and sew, stepping back from the edge one centimeter. Likewise, tuck and stitch the waistband and leg opening.

Insert a wide elastic band into the sleeves and waist of the sweater. Insert the same into the pants at the waist and legs.

Stage 5

Sew the finished bow tie to the neckline. If you do not have a purchased butterfly, then you can do it yourself.

You will need a square of fabric for a bow 20 × 20 cm. And a strip of the same fabric 5 × 10 cm. Sew two opposite edges of the large square with each other and turn the seam so that it lies in the middle of the resulting tube, and not to the side. Unscrew and iron the fabric tube.

Make a small circle from the strip in exactly the same way. Slip the large circle into the small one and extend it straight to the middle. The butterfly is ready. Feel free to sew it to the bear's costume.

Option 2

For this type of suit, the vest is worn wide open.

Stage 1

Select a fabric and apply the details of the vest to it. If you have chosen a fabric with faux fur for such a suit, then a natural fabric lining is usually sewn on its inner part. This means that if you are going to sew a lining, then the patterns must be duplicated. That is, the drawing of the details is applied both to the outer fabric with artificial fur, and to the lining or inner fabric.

For sewing, you need to get two parts of the front side and one part of the back side of the vest from the front part and exactly the same details from the inner fabric.


Contour the fabric for sewing pants or shorts.

Stage 2

Cut out the resulting parts and sew together separately the parts from the inner fabric and separately from the outer fabric. The vest is sewn on the shoulder and on the side.

It should be noted right away that shorts or pants are sewn according to the same principle as in the first version of the suit.

Stage 3

If you are sewing a product without a second inner layer, then turn all cut edges (sleeve, neckline, hem, leg and waistband on trousers) in one or two turns and sew, stepping back from the edge no more than one centimeter.

If you decide to sew a suit from two layers (inner and outer), then collect the resulting parts together. Fold the trousers made from inner fabric with the trousers made of artificial border from the right side to the front. Sew along the cut edge, namely at the waist and legs. Do the same with the vest.

Leave a small section (15-20cm) unstitched. Turn pants and vest through these holes. Sew the unstitched area of ​​the fabric by hand with a blind stitch.

DIY bear costume for a boy: hat or headband with ears

In order to make it clear that there is a bear in front of you, and not another animal, you need to sew a hat with the bear's face and ears.

Stage 1

In order to sew a bear's hat, you need to measure the circumference and depth of the child's head.

Stage 2

Apply the pattern of the hat, ears and muzzle to the fabric as follows.


Stage 3

Cut out the resulting parts and sew together. Ear holes are inserted into the ear holes, and the seam is overlaid on a sewing machine.

Fold up the bottom edge of the cap and stitch around the entire circumference.

Stage 4

Sew the face onto the front of the hat, leaving a small section unstitched. Push a lot of filler under the fabric through it and sew the left piece. These will be the cheeks of the bear. He has them large, therefore, the larger the shape turned out, the better.

Sew the nose and eyes into place. A hat with a bear face is ready.

If you don't feel like messing around with sewing a hat, you can make bear ears and attach them to the rim.

According to the scheme above, only the ears are cut out and sewn together. The bottom edge is not overstretched. The ears are turned inside out and the bottom edge is put on the rim. Sew the cut edge so that the section of the headband remains hidden between the fabrics.

Table of contents

A series of New Year's parties is coming, to which one would like to send children in beautiful, carnival costumes. It's not a secret for anyone that the ready-made image is not cheap. Therefore, mothers, even those who have never imagined themselves in the role of a home couturier, are increasingly choosing hand-made outfits for their children. We have prepared several options for New Year's suits for boys that are suitable for different ages, which you can sew with your own hands quickly and beautifully.

Costumes for the little ones

Babies at 2 years old do not have to dress up as superheroes or cartoon characters for the New Year. As a rule, at this age, children still do not participate in kindergarten performances and matinees, but parents, nevertheless, try to dress them up in some kind of costume.

And just for this occasion, a master class will come in handy, according to which you can quickly and beautifully sew a New Year's costume for a boy with your own hands. Patterns and step-by-step photos will help even those parents who have little experience in sewing.

Bear costume

Every loving mother can sew such a charming costume with her own hands for her baby. You can dress up with a bear a child who is just starting to go to kindergarten, or just a crumb who spends the whole day in his arena. And you will need an old brown fleece blouse to create the perfect New Year's look. It is she who will make up almost 80% of the finished outfit.

For work you will need:

• a brown fleece (or footer) jacket (a kangaroo, a body shirt or a sweatshirt with a snake will do, the main thing is that the product has a hood);
• two pieces of brown and beige fleece fabric;
• synthetic winterizer or other filler;
• threads in the color of fleece;
• pins;
• paper;
• a simple pencil or crayon;
• scissors.

Operating procedure:

We measure the width of the jacket in the buttoned state. We lay out the light fleece and draw a circle on it with a pencil so that it turns out 3-4 cm narrower than the diameter of the jacket. Cut out an even circle using any suitable object, for example, a saucepan lid.

We attach the resulting circle to the jacket with pins and attach it on a sewing machine in a "zigzag" fashion. This will be the belly of our bear cub.

On paper we draw a template for the ears - one detail should turn out to be slightly larger than the second. Transfer the pattern to light and dark fleece. Large blanks of dark brown material will need 4 pieces.

Sew on the light part to the dark part, like on the ears.

Fold the dark fleece right side up and sew on a sewing machine, leaving the bottom unstitched. We turn out the workpiece, lightly fill it with padding polyester and lay a machine or hand stitch along the bottom of the product.

On the hood, we mark the places into which the ears will be sewn, make cuts and sew blanks into them.

The main part of the bear costume is ready. You can complement the look with brown pants or shorts with tights of the same color.

And how to quickly and easily make a New Year's snowman costume for a boy with your own hands, you can see in this video.

Suits for boys from 3 to 6 years old

Older children, who can already be involved in stage actions during the New Year's matinee, can already think about the costume more difficult. But here, too, it is necessary to proceed from the boy's age - the younger the child, the simpler and clearer his character should be.

Gray Wolf Costume

An angry and scary gray ox often inspires parents to create a New Year's costume. At 3 years old, this character will be perfect as the main character.

In addition, complex patterns are also not required to create this image, it is enough to use a ready-made jacket or gray pajamas, and slightly correct it.

For work you will need:

• soft sweatshirt and long pants or gray pajamas;
• a piece of felt light and dark gray, as well as white and black felt;
• scissors;
• needles;
• threads;
• pins;
• pencil or crayon;
• scissors;
• a piece of cardboard;
• elastic band or braid;
• synthetic winterizer.

Operating procedure:

• We take a sweatshirt or jacket from pajamas and measure the width and length of the front shelf. We lay out a piece of gray felt, draw an oval according to the given measurements. Cut out the part and make sharp teeth along the edges along its perimeter. We attach the oval to the jacket and attach it on a typewriter.

• We also decorate trousers and pajamas with imitation wool. Cut off two strips from the gray felt, 10 cm wide and equal to the leg circumference. We cut one side with a fringe and attach the bottom to the legs, as shown in the photo.

• Cut out a square of dark felt with sides of 10 cm, round off its corners and cut teeth on the sides. We attach them to our knees in the form of patches and we do the same on the elbows.

• Cut off two rectangles from the gray felt with a width of 15 cm and a length of 40 cm. Cut out another piece of dark felt - 10 by 30 cm. Cut the teeth on the sides to look like wool. We also prepare a piece of white felt to shape the tip of the tail.

• We attach a white blank to one of the large rectangles, and a dark gray one to the other, as shown in the photo. We attach the elements, securely fastening them together. We leave a hole for stuffing at the bottom of the workpiece. We fill the part with padding polyester and sew the tail to the back of the pants.

• It remains to make a mask. Cut out a blank from the cardboard, as shown in the photo. We put it on a piece of gray felt, fasten it with pins and make two patterns. Cut holes for the eyes.

• We make a nose out of dark gray felt, and eyebrows from white. Sew on by hand or glue the elements on the face of the mask. Use a piece of black felt to shape the tip of the nose. Sew both parts of the mask by stitching an elastic band on the sides. The suit is ready!

Dragon costume

There is no such kid at the age of 6 who would not dream of trying on the image of a real, fire-breathing dragon. So why not make such a New Year's costume for a boy, which can be worn at a matinee at the age of 5, and even at 7.

And the main "highlight" that will favorably distinguish the child from other peers at the holiday are thorns, wings and a long tail.

For work you will need:

• green fleece fabric in light and dark shades (about 1.5 meters of each color);
• orange fabric (cut about 0.5 meters);
• Velcro fastener (20-25 cm);
• threads to match;
• needles;
• pins;
• scissors;
• paper for building patterns.

Operating procedure:

We take the baby's sweater, which just fits him, lay it out on a sheet of paper and circle along the outer lines, including the sleeves. Draw the wings manually.

Fold the dark and light fleece in half, cut out the blanks for the dragon's cloak, while leaving a long piece for the tail.

Now we lay out the hood from the jacket on paper and circle it to create a pattern. Cut out two parts from a dark and a light material.

We fasten together the details of the wings (cloak), on a light fleece we outline a drawing of the skeleton of a dragon.

We sew along the outlined lines, make a line along the edges of the product and cut out the pieces of fabric that are between the seams, as shown in the photo.

Cut out eight triangles from the orange fabric with sides of 12-14 cm. Attach two pieces to the tip of the tail.

We sew the remaining triangles two at a time and put them between the details for the hood. Thus, the dragon should have a comb. We pin it with pins and sew on a typewriter.

We sew Velcro on the protruding part, which will hold the whole costume on the child.

We sew the hood to the cloak with wings.

Cut a fleece layer on the tips of the wings from the inside to make mittens. The awesome dragon costume is ready.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costume

A wonderful choice for a New Year's costume for a boy - the heroes of the well-known animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The child will be happy to try on the role of a superhero, and parents will not have to spend money on expensive costumes, because it can be made literally from improvised materials and leftover fabric.

For work you will need:

• plain green children's pajamas;
• yellow flannel;
• acrylic paints;
• needles;
• pencil or crayon;
• pins;
• threads;
• brown ribbon;
• oval baking dish (foil);
• Velcro;
• glue or glue gun;
• a piece of embossed cardboard;
• a piece of thick cardboard;
• scissors;
• filler (holofiber or synthetic winterizer);
• a small piece of cloth in red, orange, purple, or blue.

Operating procedure:

We lay out pajamas on a flat surface. We mark the central part, which will later be the part of the abdomen.

We cut out a circle from the yellow fabric according to the intended dimensions, lay it out on a jacket from pajamas in the center of the front part and attach it with two seams - crosswise. We fill the resulting pockets with padding polyester to get a relief belly, like a cartoon character. We sew the workpiece in a circle.

We take red, orange, purple or blue fabric, depending on the chosen hero, we cut it into stripes. For the hands, you will need six parts, 6 cm wide. For the poppy, you need to make a strip 10 cm wide from the same color. The length of the products depends on the parameters of the child, but just in case it is better to leave a small margin.

Fold the finished stripes in half in length, sew them to the suit at the level of the wrists, elbows and knees.

On the mask, mark the slits for the eyes with sharp scissors.

For the shell, take a foil mold and paint it brown.

We fasten the carapace to the tape, which we pass through the previously made slots on the sides. In this case, the fasteners must pass over the top of the foil mold. We sew Velcro to the ribbons so that the carapace is firmly attached to the suit.

Take a piece of embossed cardboard and cut out a 7 cm circle for a buckle with the first letter of the hero's name. We cut out the exact same part from thick cardboard and glue both blanks together.

Cut out the first letter of the turtle's name from the embossed cardboard and glue it onto the buckle.

Cut off a piece of tape by folding them with a corner. We attach the finished buckle with the letter to the half of the belt with hot glue. Glue half of the Velcro on top. We fasten the other half of the fastener in the other part of the belt.

Harry Potter costume

The story of the young wizard is sure to please every child. And who among the children does not dream of getting into Hogwarts and entering the Gryffindor faculty in order to see the life of Harry Potter and his faithful friends with their own eyes. And if it is not so easy to get a real magic wand, then every boy can transform into a favorite hero.

Why not give such an opportunity to your child and send him to the New Year's carnival in the mantle of a wizard ?!

For work you will need:

• black and red fabric for sewing a mantle;
• threads to match;
• needles;
• pins;
• scissors;
• white shirt and dark trousers;
• gray sweater or turtleneck;
• Red tie;
• yellow oracle (self-adhesive film);
• glue gun;
• cardboard;
• wire;
• pliers;
• hardening plastic;
• wooden stick;
• acrylic paint.

Operating procedure:

First, we cut out two parts from black fabric for the front of the future mantle, based on the size of the child. Next, we cut out the sleeves, back and hood. We prepare the same parts from red material - for lining.

First, we collect the black parts into one finished piece, and then the red ones.

We cut off the details of the front of the mantle and the lining facing each other and sew on a typewriter, leaving a place for turning inside the sleeve area.

We iron all the seams with an iron.

Cut out strips from the yellow oracle, 1-2 cm wide and glue them on a red tie to make a "zebra".

We buy or find in the wardrobe a white turtleneck and black trousers. You will also need a gray pullover with a V-neck, but even without it, a child in a suit will look like a real character in a famous saga.

We print the Gryffindor emblem from the Internet on a color printer, glue it to the cardboard and sew it onto the robe.

It remains to make Harry's glasses and his magic wand. They can be bought at any store or made from thick wire yourself. For the stick, we take an ordinary wooden skewer or a shaft from a large art brush, apply hot glue from a pistol in a spiral. Let the mass dry and then paint the stick silver or gold.

This outfit is designed for 9-12 years, since the real Harry Potter from the first story book turned 11 when he first received a letter from Hoggwarts.
