- We also sew a couple of patches onto the skirt. For a fairy-tale character costume, you need to choose the most simple skirt without unnecessary decorative elements. On top of it you can wear a light, but not white, apron.

Making a nose from papier-mâché.It is not necessary to buy a false nose in the store. Chances are you have everything you need in your home to make it yourself. We invite you to watch detailed photo management.
- Make a mold of the nose from plasticine. Let it be big and hooked.
- Tear the newspaper into 2 cm pieces. You need to tear the paper, not cut it with scissors. In this case, the pieces will lie on the mold softly, without lumps or irregularities.
- Apply the soaked pieces to the cast. This must be done overlapping, leaving no gaps or air bubbles. From the second layer it is necessary to generously coat the workpiece with PVA glue. There should be about ten layers of paper in total so that the finished nose does not become deformed during use.
- Dry the product for several days without removing it from the plasticine blank. After the glue has completely dried, carefully remove the nose from the cast, trim the edges with scissors, and cut a hole in the bottom so that you can breathe.
- Make thin holes on the sides of the accessory and thread an elastic band through them.
- Paint the workpiece with gouache in a flesh color so that the paint adheres better, you can apply a layer of varnish.
If you follow all the instructions, the artificial nose will be very durable and will last a long time.
Additional attributes of Baba Yaga.The evil old woman is often depicted as hunchbacked. If you want to highlight this defect, then you will need a small pillow or a folded piece of fabric. We secure the improvised hump on the back with belts. You can take a small backpack and put a pillow or cloth in it. Put the backpack under the vest.
Carrying a full-sized broom with you is inconvenient, especially for a child. Making a smaller copy of the broom will not work special labor. You need to find a stick about a meter long and collect long dry branches on the street. We wrap the branches with wire slightly above the end of the stick.
For beads we use dried mushrooms and berries, for example, hawthorn, cranberries or rose hips. We string them individually onto a thick thread using a needle.

Hello friends!
Recently, when I was sorting through photographs, a folder with the title “Baba Yaga” caught my eye and I remembered that I had not yet shown here a work that was very unusual for me. Before last New Year, in kindergarten I was asked to sew a Baba Yaga costume for a matinee. To make it more convincing that it was really needed, they showed me an old suit, or rather what was left of it. Only with a very good imagination can you imagine how you can decently cover your legs with those scraps of skirt. The suit had no top at all.
As I already mentioned, I really like to do something new, something that I have never done before. On the one hand, this is a huge responsibility, and on the other, a complete flight of imagination and freedom in creativity. It was precisely this freedom, as well as a piece of burlap, old trousers and a heap of braid that was provided to me. A big story about what came of it, photos of the process and from the matinee under the cut.
And here the fun part began - figuring out what the costume would look like. Attempts to find at least some sample on the World Wide Web were unsuccessful. The most decent suit was from Georgy Millyar, but I didn’t undertake to repeat it, because it’s easy to just make rags from burlap, but to ensure that what is torn does not fall apart even before the matinee and has served in kindergarten for many years already more difficult.
Then, looking at this photograph, I asked myself: “Who is Baba Yaga?” And again I went to ask Google questions. The mystical component did not interest me at all. It was necessary to understand who she was and where she lived. After reading many articles, I formed the opinion that Baba Yaga is an elderly woman who lives in the forest. She's carrying her to term old clothes, which is why there are a lot of patches on it. And her character is harmful due to obvious health problems - she is all crooked with a hump on her back.
And here my costume began to emerge: there should be a long skirt, a loose-fitting shirt, an apron and a vest. But the materials that were given to me in the garden were clearly not enough. And then home supplies of Soviet fabrics helped. I chose green fabric for the skirt - I really associated it with the forest, and bright chintz with flowers for the shirt. I decided to make an apron and vest from burlap.
There was nothing complicated with the skirt and vest and there are no step-by-step photographs. I made the simplest skirt with an elastic waistband and a ruffle at the bottom. I made the shirt as wide as possible to make it look voluminous, because elderly woman won't wear a tight top. I added elastic bands to the neckline and bottom of the sleeves for a better fit. In addition, this version of the shirt will fit any figure.
The most interesting thing was working with the vest. I cut out the simplest version of the vest. I had to rack my brains over how to process the edges. Simply laying it down and flashing it is not an option. I won’t even talk about the fact that a lot of garbage and threads fall from the burlap. This is where the old trousers, which they gave me to be torn to pieces, and the braid came into play. I cut strips, pulled out threads to make it look more shaggy, pinned it all to the edges of the vest and finished the edges that way. And I sewed the side and shoulder seams through braid, because there is no other way to sew burlap.
The only request from the future Baba Yaga was the presence of fly agarics on the costume. I decided that they belong on a vest. From polymer clay I made a button. But unfortunately, at that time I didn’t have any white clay in my supplies, so I made the leg out of light brown plastic and then painted the finished fly agaric with white acrylic and varnished it.
I placed two more fly agarics on the back. I drew two cartoon mushrooms and made a sew-on applique from the most ordinary chintz.
An apron is simply a rectangle of burlap sewn to a wide band. There is nothing complicated in it, so there is no separate photo either.
Well, we can say that the costume is ready. However, I decided that I also needed to sew burlap patches on the elbows of the shirt and on the apron and colored fabrics. And in order for the skirt not to look very new and to be connected with the rest of the costume, I sewed a strip of burlap along the bottom and the same shaggy stripe as on the vest. I was pleased with the result. The photo shows the fully finished costume before taking it to the garden.

Fairy tales are a wonderful creation of art. In almost all fairy tales one of the heroes is Baba Yaga. We have known this representative of evil spirits since early childhood! She first appears to us in Russian fairy tales, such as: "Geese and Swans", “Sister Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka.
In different works, she is either kind, helping people, or evil and cruel, stealing children and even trying to eat them. Baba Yaga can be both a negative character and a positive one. For example, she steals brother Ivanushka from sister Alyonushka, and drowns Alyonushka herself in a pond, placing a heavy stone on her chest. But he feeds Ivan the Tsarevich, gives him water, soars in the bathhouse, and puts him to bed. Moreover, it instructs the mind and gives a magic ball for the journey.
There is something about this dashing creature that frightens, attracts and attracts at the same time.
Favorite character Woman Yaga also appears in kindergarten. We meet her at matinees, performances, and entertainment. At the same time, it is very important that the character looks bright, aesthetically pleasing and beautiful, because children perceive the world with bright colors.
Based on this rule, I designed suit in various fabrics, inserts and appliqués. This made him feel festive and brightness.
Suit protection progress:
Woman– Yaga runs in to the sound of a car, holding the steering wheel in her hands.
I am Yagushka, I live on the edge of the forest,
I came for a reason, to show suit it's time.
My the suit is not so good, all in patches is not pretty.
There is no beautiful painting in it, but do not think in vain.
I sewed it with love and cast spells at night.
She cast spells and whispered, and knitted, and weaved,
She wove it with witchcraft and cast spells.
I cooked everything in a tub, fly agarics, trinkets.
Whirlwinds, tornadoes and fires, I added everything here.
I stirred everything with a spoon and fried it a little.
Oh, I was very tired, I dozed off a little.
And when I woke up miraculously, I threw up my hands.
It turned out so beautiful, I came here right away.
I promise to be nice on holiday where the kids are!
Woman-Yaga bows to the jury members and leaves.
