An owl costume can be made by both beginners and experienced seamstresses. The main thing is to follow the instructions and observe the proportions, and then everything will work out!

How to sew an owl costume with your own hands

First of all, go to the fabric store. For the basis of a children's owl costume "> take a thick brown burlap. For a baby 3-5 years old, 2 m is enough with a standard fabric width of 1.5 m. For feathers, buy a beige mesh. You can not buy the rest of the fabric and use scraps of old clothes.

"> Let's start the pattern. To do this, cut 1.2 m from a piece of fabric and attach it to the rest of the fabric. Thus, the future hood will remain in one layer. Open it as shown in the picture. The line to be sewn is marked with a white dotted line. Green - a place for the face. It is better to process this edge with braid so that small threads do not crumble and do not fall into the eyes of the child. Do not forget to cut out the sleeves. They resemble a geometric figure - a rhombus. There should be enough fabric for them. Now we make the torso owl costume. "> Blue marks the hole where the sleeves are sewn on. Yellow lines are the place for stitching.

If on this you have run out of time or patience, leave the costume in this form. So your baby will look like a hermit monk. If this option is not suitable, proceed to decorating. To do this, sew a mesh fabric on the front.

From above, manually sew the patches on top of each other. Move from bottom to top, then the seams will hide under the next layer. AT from so the owl costume is already taking shape.

Now sew patches on the sleeves and stitch the workpiece to the suit. It’s good if the patches are also in the colors of autumn, which will give the children’s owl costume a one-piece and thoughtful look.

It remains to "revive" the owl costume. For this on hood, stitch eyes and beak, and if there is burlap left, make small ears. It will look very nice.

More owl costumes

The main advantage of such costumes is that they are easy to make yourself. Instead of an owl's head for a costume, you can use an ordinary brown hat, on which you can sew eyes and a beak.

The simplest option is sweatshirt suit black or brown. For girls, you can use sweatshirts in bright colors, such as pink, red or yellow.

Owl costume masks

A child can be hot on a holiday in a hat or hood, so you can use just an owl mask as the top of the costume. As a rule, they are made from felt (since it does not crumble and keeps its shape), but can be made from colored paper.

A masquerade for a New Year's party for a child is the most exciting event of the year. Therefore, you need to prepare for it in advance and thoroughly. The main stage of preparation is the choice of costume.

Costumes of animals and birds are very popular: bunnies, chanterelles, squirrels, owls. It is the process of creating an owl costume that we will consider.

Festive T-shirt owl outfit

To create a do-it-yourself owl costume for a girl, you will need:

• T-shirt (preferably loose-fitting and elongated);
• trimming fabrics of various colors;
• threads or hot glue;
• scissors.

From the scraps of fabric we cut out feathers for an owl, of any shape you like. Then we sew or stick feathers on a T-shirt in a checkerboard pattern. If the T-shirt is too short, then the lower feathers can be lengthened or sewn in several rows imitating a skirt.

To add elegance, you can make several bows from satin or velvet ribbons. Bows can be attached to the sleeves or neck. You can also add nylon ribbons or embroider some elements of the costume with Lurex.

Fancy Dress Owl Universal

To make a costume that would be suitable for boys for girls, you will need the following materials:

• dense fabric;
• lining fabric;
• satin or velvet ribbon;
• small cuts of fabrics of different colors;
• threads.

We fold the main and lining fabrics and cut out a semicircle (you can use a full circle or ¾, depending on the necessary splendor of the outfit). The length of the semicircle should be equal to the length of the product, taking into account the hem and neckline.

In the center we cut out a small semicircle so that the head passes comfortably. We grind the neck of the satin flight, and leave the ends of the ribbon free, they will serve as cloak ties.

We bend the material from below and sheathe it with a piping or ribbon. On the sides we make cuts for the hands and grind with tape. It is better to make the slots more spacious so as not to hamper the movements of the child.

We cut the fabric cuts into ribbons 5-10 cm wide (if desired, you can make smaller feathers), then we cut the ribbons so that a kind of garland of feathers is obtained. The resulting blanks are sewn or glued to the raincoat along the entire length, starting from the bottom edge. It is desirable that one stripe slightly overlap another, this will add volume and realism to the plumage.

If desired, you can add a raincoat with a hood. To do this, cut out a rectangle from the main and lining fabrics folded in two, sew it along one edge and grind it along the other. The end sides are sewn to the raincoat. Then we embroider garlands of feathers along the hood, making sure that the feathers on the hood do not stick out in different directions and correspond to the plumage of the cloak.

Such an owl costume for a boy and a girl is equally well suited. It remains only to choose the right trousers and jacket. For girls, you can even wear a dress under a raincoat (preferably not a fluffy cut).

Essential attributes for an owl

Such trifles as a beak and glasses will complement the image of an owl. You can use old sunglasses as glasses, after removing the glasses from them, or you can make a mask in the form of glasses. For those who use sunglasses, you can cut a small beak out of felt and glue it to the center of the glasses.

The mask can be cut out of cardboard, felt (it is better to use two colors) or printed on a printer. It is worth noting that felt is more comfortable and pleasant to the face than cardboard, and the paper mask is easily wrinkled. You can fix the mask with an elastic band or hairpins (for girls).

Other variants of the owl costume and its details.

An owl carnival costume must include large round eyes and a sharp beak! We offer you to sew a comfortable felt mask with an elastic band, mitts with claws, and we will also tell you how to decorate any piece of clothing with felt owl feathers.

Owl carnival costume: material, size and how to complement the image

In our project, we used felt in several colors: black, white, two shades of gray, two shades of brown and a little orange. Felt - dense felt of different thicknesses. It is great for a variety of crafts, has a smooth, not fraying edge, is flexible and holds its shape well. In craft stores, you can buy felt in rolls or sheets. The most common size is 20x30 cm. For this project, you will need at least three of these gray sheets and one sheet each of the other colors.

Decide on the desired length of the mitts. Our model is made as an analogue of short gloves, but you can sew them to any length. Measure the circumference of the palm at the level of the widest part, under four fingers. Draw a rectangle that has a width equal to the girth of the palm and a length equal to the desired length of the mitts.

We decorated a jersey T-shirt with felt feathers, but you can use any clothes of a suitable color. You can also cut out a semi-circular cape or large wings from a plain additional fabric and sew on feathers in the same way. On the edge of the cape or wings, sew a ribbon to tie around the neck.

You will also need 10-15 cm of black elastic band 1 cm wide.

So, let's sew an owl carnival costume!

Pattern printing and cutting

Download the pattern file and print on A4 sheets. Make sure your printer is set to print mode "actual size", "100%" and not "scale to fit". In the Russian-language program, an option is possible - "real size". Cut out all the details.

GRAY FELT

• Basic mask shape
• Two rectangles 5x15 cm for the rim
• Two rectangles for mitts, each of which has a width equal to the girth of the palm and a length equal to the desired length of the mitts.
• Feathers in the desired quantity, in our example, about 10-15 pieces of different shades.

WHITE FELT

• Two large circles for the eyes
• Feathers in the desired quantity, in our example about 5 pieces

BLACK FELT

• One piece "Eyebrows"
• Two pupil circles
• 6 triangular nails of desired length and shape.

FROM ORANGE FELT

• Two round irises

FROM BROWN FELT

• One beak piece with top edge allowance
• One dark brown felt triangle, optional

From the scraps, cut out several narrow details - “feathers”.

Working process

Cut out the rectangle of the mitt as shown in the photo. Mirror the second rectangle. Sew triangular black felt claws.

Sew the side seam, leaving a hole for the thumb about 5 cm long. Lay the seam allowances to the side and baste with a blind stitch.

Sew an orange iris and a black pupil. Cut out a small patch of white felt from scraps of white felt and stitch over the pupil. Sew off the white circles.

Sew black eyebrows. Sew dark brown trim on the beak. Place the beak under the middle of the bottom of the main mask and scribble. Sew on each side of the mask rectangles of gray felt for the rim.

Lay out the clothes that you will decorate with feathers on the table. Lay out the feathers, decide on the alternation of colors. Make triangular cuts in some places of the feathers. Start pinning feathers from the bottom row. Sew along the edge.

Lay a line along the top edge, repeating the shape of the neckline of the clothes, and trim the feathers.

Buying a carnival costume for the New Year's holiday in the store is simple, but not interesting. You will get much more positive emotions when you make carnival clothes with your own hands. And if you involve children in this fascinating process, the time before the New Year will definitely fly by unnoticed.

CARNIVAL COSTUMES FOR BOYS

Bunny

To become a carnival star, it is not necessary to sew a full-fledged costume. Moreover, in a voluminous or heavy outfit, it is not always convenient for kids to move around. The simplest and, importantly, the budget option is a mask. For example, rabbit ears can be cut out of cardboard and glued to an elastic band or paper headband. The resemblance to the "oblique" will be more complete if you draw and cut out a bunny mask from a sheet of thick paper. It can also be fastened to the head with an elastic band or a hoop.

According to this scheme, you can draw a whole fabulous zoo: Lisa Patrikeevna, Mikhail Potapovich, Princess Frog, as well as overseas animals: a monkey, a panda, a parrot. More complex options are voluminous masks made of cardboard. For decoration, use colored paper, plastic plates, papier-mâché, cotton wool and other materials.

Snowman

Making a snowman costume for a boy with your own hands is not so difficult. The easiest option is to sew a suit out of white fabric according to a pattern taken from your baby's winter overalls. It is also easy to cut out trousers and a two-button jacket from soft white fleece. The volume is created due to the filler or elastic bands that pull the belt, cuffs and bottom of the pants.

Mandatory bright details are large buttons, a bright scarf and a broom in hand. Place a washed plastic bucket from the sandbox kit on your head or glue a cardboard cylinder.

Pirate

Every boy dreams of sea adventures! Therefore, the transformation into a sea wolf will bring special joy.

The pirate costume consists of several parts:

• white shirt with a frill;
• trousers;
• black cocked hat or bandana with a skull;
• buckle boots;
• wide belt.

Each part is easy to do by hand. The vest can be borrowed from dad or bought. If you want more romance, attach a frill made of light fabric or lace to a white shirt with a brooch or pin.

Ordinary black pants will turn into pirate ones if you cut them to the middle of the calf and gather at the bottom with an elastic band. However, especially lazy needlewomen can get by with just a shabby bottom. A two-turn belt in red or black fabric completes the look. You can also wear a vest, and a triangular hat is easy to glue from black cardboard.

A cowboy hat can turn into a pirate hat

Accessories for the costume will be an eye patch, daggers, earrings (clips), as well as high striped socks or stockings. You can put a real trained or toy parrot on the shoulder of the hero.

An indispensable attribute of a pirate costume is the image of a skull and crossbones. Draw an emblem on paper and attach it to your vest or headgear.

ADVICE The marine theme in fancy dress is bottomless. A boy in a peakless cap and a vest, armed with a telescope, will become a brave captain. And to conquer the depths of the sea on a New Year's party, a scuba gear made of plastic bottles will fit perfectly.

CHRISTMAS COSTUME IDEAS FOR GIRLS

Butterfly

Wings for a bee costume are made in the same way as for a butterfly costume.

Fixed wings

ADVICE As a sample of the pattern, it is quite possible to use the pattern on the wings of a real hive or peacock eye.

fluttering butterfly

You can flutter like a real "cabbage" or "Apollo", spreading and collecting wings, if you make them without rigid frame:

1. Cut out two semicircles from the fabric with a radius equal to the distance from the armpit to the child's wrist. Decorate the canvas in any way, for example, paints, applications from other fabrics or tinsel.
2. Once the decor is finished, pin the center of the wings to the back of the collar with neat stitches.
3. Attach the free edge of the wing to your wrist with colored ribbon or elastic.

New Year's moth costume for a boy

ADVICE A butterfly costume for the New Year is suitable not only for a girl. For a boy, you can create the image of a fluttering moth.

owl

The original solution is to turn into a wise and beautiful bird for the New Year. You need quite a bit for this - an owl mask and a dress with imitation plumage.

A cardboard mask with expressive eyes and a beak can be attached to an elastic band or elastic band and worn on the head. If you make cuts, then you can put it on your face. In this case, the main thing is to calculate the distance between the pupils. Draw a mask on paper and color it. Also, this accessory can be made from colored cardboard, velvet paper or foamiran. Cut out the pieces and put them together. It is feasible to participate in creativity even kids 3-4 years old.

Option for assembling an owl mask from colored paper

To make a dress, you will need some skills, but even novice craftswomen can handle the technology:

1. As a base, sew a simple sheath dress with cutouts for the head and arms.
2. Sew plumage on it in rows - pieces of fabric in the form of tongues. "Feathers" can be bird-specific colors (brown, gray, ocher) or fantasy (green, pink, yellow). You can choose a solid color or create your own pattern, for example, highlight the breast or back of a bird with color.
3. You can complement the owl costume with wings. Make them using the same technology as the wings of a fluttering butterfly. Feathers on the wings can be made a little larger than on the body.

Versatile green dress

In the wardrobe of adult ladies, there should be a “little black dress” suitable for all occasions, and for little fashionistas, a green outfit can be considered the same universal option. It can be a dress or sundress of any style. Your daughter will definitely be noticed if on a holiday she is not a snow-white snowflake or a pink princess, but turns into a bright, elegant Christmas tree.

For other themed matinees, the dress will have to be slightly modernized:

• New Year's celebration. You can turn into a Christmas tree if you hang tinsel, “rain” or unbreakable toys on your dress. For decoration, garlands powered by AA batteries are also suitable. The most daring girls can decorate their heads with a small artificial Christmas tree. Attach it to a headband or clip.
• March 8. Decorate the waistband or hem of your dress with real or artificial flowers to create a spring mood. The same flower can be woven into hair. So the girl will turn into a flower fairy.
• Harvest festival. To change the season, it is enough to sew a few yellowed leaves on the dress. For realism, use real ones, but cut out of colored paper or painted will do.

ADVICE A girl in a green dress can turn into any fabulous tree. For example, in an apple tree with bulk fruits, under which Alyonushka and her brother hid from swan geese.

Modern Heroes

Costumes of the Snow Maiden or Bunny will delight parents and grandparents. But modern children will be more delighted if they have the chance to become the hero of modern fairy tales. It can be Bear's girlfriend Masha or the almighty Fixies. Dressing up in modern heroes is no longer called a carnival, but the fashionable word "cosplay".

Cap Nolik

To make original high-tech hats, you will need foam rubber, spray paint and glue. When cutting, parents may have to remember school courses in geometry and drawing. But you can take ready-made templates from the Internet.

How to do:

1. Foam rubber (you can take ordinary sponges for washing dishes) cut into cubes in the form of parallelepipeds. After that, cut each bar diagonally with a sharp knife.
2. Glue the resulting parts overlap on the base cap, starting from the bottom of the product. You can use pieces of foam rubber of different sizes. At the top of the cap should be the smallest blocks.
3. Attach an elastic band to the hat to keep it on your head better.

ADVICE If you used white foam rubber, and not ready-made sponges, cover the product with spray paint. Do not use watercolor or gouache when making carnival costumes. This paint "flows" when wet. We do not need such surprises!

Magic chest

Have you invited guests to a party and want to surprise them? Arrange a fancy-dress impromptu ball! It is not necessary to make full outfits. One characteristic attribute is enough. It can be a headdress or a themed bag. It will take several hours to transform an entire company. During this time, from cardboard, paper, cotton wool, paints and other improvised materials can do:

• beard of Santa Claus;
• fairy wand;
• Superman badge;
• Pechkin's postman's bag.

Put it all in a box, pre-pasted with colored paper. Also in the "magic chest" you can put a police cap, tie, felt boots, a toy gun, a grandmother's shawl and much more. Invite guests to take items out of the box without looking into it. Together you will not only try on new roles, but also play funny scenes or come up with your own New Year's fairy tale.

Preparing for the New Year excites no less than the celebration itself. Spend some time and spend the holiday evenings with the children, inventing and making original costumes. Creativity brings together better shopping trips together. With coming!
