Best Costume Ideas
You need to start preparing by coming up with a theme for an adult New Year's costume. It can reflect the symbolism of the coming year, depict your favorite characters, or match the theme of a photo shoot/play for children/corporate party or other event you are going to.
Let's find out more about the most common costumes for adults at New Year:
Cool New Year's costumes for adults, photo Costumes of the seasons
New Year's costumes for adults, for a corporate event, it is better to do it according to patterns or take it as a basis ready-made clothes, which suits your parameters. Before preparing materials for your image, think about it, the suit will be one-piece(in the form of a dress, robe or overalls) or separate(top + pants or skirt).
One of the most common transformation options for the New Year is creating a winter suit with your own hands. For this look, you will need light fabric (white, light gray or blue color is suitable) and additional materials for decoration (rain, fur, tinsel, beads and seed beads, ribbons, etc.).
How to sew a New Year's adult winter costume with your own hands? To sew the simplest outfit, you will need a large amount of fabric: taking into account the optimal length, fold the material in half and make a cut for the neck area. All that is required to decorate such a suit is the design of the collar and the lower border of the fabric. Decorative fur is suitable for these purposes.
Advice: It is better to complement the winter look with a headdress. This could be a crown or a hat decorated with rhinestones and beads. Also decorate the edging of the headdress with a fur strip.
In the photo you can see two images: winter and autumn, which will be in harmony with each other.
The autumn suit is made from bright fabrics: golden, orange, yellow, brown and red. As accessories for such an outfit, you can prepare multi-colored beads, as well as homemade leaves that will be attached to the main outfit and headdress.
DIY Winter New Year's costume for adults, photo For a summer theme, create your own adult sun costume. You will need yellow or orange fabric, tulle (to add fluffiness to the dress) and dense material to imitate the sun's rays (in the collar area or on the headdress).
An adult spring suit will look no less interesting. This look requires using as much greenery as possible. Therefore, in addition to traditional accessories, take artificial branches and flowers. You can use them to make a lush wreath or inserts on a dress.
A spring suit for an adult is also made according to a pattern. You should end up with a loose dress with long sleeves: to do this, just make two blanks based on a paper model (front and back) and sew them on the sides, covering all the seams.
Carnival costumes for adults, photo Other options for holiday looks
Adult New Year's carnival costumes that are relevant to the theme of the holiday will be Father Frost or Snow Maiden. This look will consist of a fur coat and a hat: both the first and second elements of the costume are made based on a pattern from several components.
First, the base of the suit is made: cut out four halves of the suit (front and back) from thick and warm fabric. Sew them together, leaving the front seam free: it will be decorated with fur and supplemented with fasteners.
After preparing the base of the suit, proceed to the sleeves, which are made according to separate patterns - and only after they are completely ready are sewn to the fur coat.
Advice: It’s better to make the sleeves for a women’s New Year’s look unusual: give them the shape of lanterns, add flounces, or make them multi-level, using several fabrics.
Now you can start working on the collar. Adult carnival costumes of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden can be complemented with a stand-up collar, a regular fur frill or a wide collar that will fall on the shoulders.
Don’t forget about the hat: the photo shows an example of this element of an adult New Year’s Santa Claus costume.
An unusual idea for a New Year's costume for adults - the Snow Queen. Just like when creating the Snow Maiden’s outfit, you need to stock up on light fabric in “winter” colors. It is desirable that such an outfit shimmer under the light, so rhinestones, silver ribbons, beads, foil and rain details will not interfere.
Adult carnival costume Snow Queen, shown in the photo, is sewn from two components according to the sundress pattern. Sewn to the main outfit long sleeves, pre-decorated with sequins, as well as a collar made of multi-layered lightweight fabric and resistant material (cardboard covered with leftover fabric).

Fauna themed outfits are one of the most popular carnival outfit ideas. For example, you can make a New Year's rooster costume for adults with your own hands. It will consist of a main outfit (most often separate), a fluffy tail and a headdress with a beak.
Start preparing to sew an adult carnival rooster costume by choosing fabric. For a bright look, we recommend using fabric in yellow, light green, orange, and red tones. Take regular trousers and a shirt as a basis: later they can be complemented with a stylish belt, collar and cuffs.
Separately sew the tail of the rooster. For an adult New Year's rooster costume with your own hands, you will need several large scraps of multi-colored fabric. Since the tail must remain in the correct position, we recommend choosing a starched fabric or thick felt. The shape of each element of the tail is given separately, after which all the parts are sewn together - and fixed to the costume.
The final stage is the creation of the headdress. Take a regular round hat as a basis: after sewing the base, attach a homemade beak and crest to the fabric.
Now that you know how to make a New Year's rooster costume for adults, it won't be difficult to make the image of a chicken come true, since these outfits are largely identical. For an adult carnival chicken costume, you need to take several bright fabrics, which will be used for a skirt and blouse with frills, as well as a headdress.
By the way, for greater realism, a carnival costume for adult hens and roosters can be supplemented with feathers and faux fur elements.
A do-it-yourself adult monkey costume for a corporate party is most often made one-piece. Therefore, you cannot do without a paper blank according to the standards of the person who will wear this outfit. Main material: warm and soft fabric brown tint. Prepare gloves for your hands and matching socks or leg warmers for your feet.
The main detail of a monkey costume for an adult will be a headdress, complemented by small ears, as well as a long tail made of decorative fur.
DIY New Year's costume for adults, photo For those who want to look bright and festive on New Year's Eve, we recommend an adult carnival fox costume. As a basis for such an outfit, it is enough to take orange dress, and if you are creating an image from scratch, sew a suit using any existing pattern. The photo shows an example of an outfit with a dress that turns into a hood: this option will be convenient for those who plan to move a lot (dance, participate in competitions), since the headdress will not fly off the head.
Advice: It is better to complement a fox outfit with soft and voluminous fur in the collar and sleeves area. For convenience, you can use fur mittens or stylized gloves.
Fox ears can be made using several methods. The best option is thick fabric or fur: it is not necessary to make them too large, so they will hold up even without an additional base. Ears are often made on the basis of cardboard, as well as wire, decorated with lush rain of a suitable shade.
Also don't forget about the tail. It should be soft and fluffy: a good option there will be fur used to decorate other elements of the costume.
Adult New Year's costumes, photo Many consider the lion outfit to be one of the most complex adult carnival animal costumes. If the lower part of the image is easy to sew from any warm fabric, then the top, namely the mane, can take a lot of time. But first, it’s better to decide on a material that will make a lion costume for an adult realistic.
What you can use:
- decorative fur. In this case, it is enough to sew it to the edging of a homemade headdress. Remember that the fur should be as soft and fluffy as possible;
- threads from wool sweater . First, the sweater is unraveled, after which wavy threads are sewn to the edge of the hood and headdress. Please note that the threads should not be made too long, since the “mane” should stick out in different directions;
- wig elements. Choose synthetic hair of a light shade and attach it to your headdress;
- if you are the owner of thick hair blonde hair, it is not necessary to create additional mane decor on the costume.
In addition, to maintain the image, you can purchase a ready-made lion mask or even a fur hat. But it’s better to spend time and make an original outfit with your own hands: this is the only way you will emphasize your individuality.
Creating New Year's magic
Let's discuss a few more ideas for New Year's costumes for adults. You can surprise both children and adult guests of the holiday with the help of “magical” images. For men, the outfit of a fairy genie is suitable, and for girls - a good fairy.
A DIY genie costume for an adult can look different. It is quite possible to create a realistic character from thick fabric stuffed with cotton wool from the inside. But for this you need the right pattern, and you will definitely need to complement this look with blue face paint.
Since few are ready for such a transformation, a more relevant adult carnival costume for the New Year would be the image of a genie in oriental attire. Its components are a shirt with voluminous sleeves (preferably in a light shade), wide trousers tapered at the bottom, boots with a pointed and turned-up end, a bright vest painted with patterns and decorated with stones, as well as a turban made of fabric and jewelry.
Advice: To avoid spending a lot of time on the pattern, cut out regular wide sleeves and trousers from the fabric - and use an elastic band to gather them at the base.
An adult fairy carnival costume will consist of a dress and wings. Since these characters look different in fairy tales, there is no fundamental difference in how long the outfit will be. Focus on the specifics of the event for which you are going to dress up.
A sundress is also suitable for the image of a fairy: it is easiest to make based on a paper pattern. And the semblance of sleeves can be created from tulle, tulle or other light translucent fabric.
Light material is also required for the wings: stretch the selected fabric onto the wire made in the shape of wings and secure with a stapler or threads. You can sew beads onto the wings, and decorate the edges with rain or serpentine.
DIY New Year's costumes for adults, photo If desired, complement the fairy look with a hat with an elongated cap, as well as a magic wand. This accessory is made from a regular pencil wrapped in ribbon or foil. Attach a small star or serpentine to the end.

Each of us remembers with what impatience, as children, we awaited the onset of the New Year's party, how we dreamed of the most stunning carnival costume. How we imagined that this costume would transform us beyond recognition, and then make us the queen of the ball. And for this you didn’t have to buy New Year's costumes: do it yourself our mothers made them simply unique. Each of us can do this today.
At the New Year's carnival, animal costumes have always been and will remain the most popular. This wolf is made from old gray paita. Will he find his Little Red Riding Hood?
For the suit you will need gray, yellow and black fleece.
Where the wolf ran, a little fox-sister will definitely appear.
But this tiger and tigress can be sewn from old coats.
There are many traditional costumes - favorite animals, fairy tale characters, cartoons. These outfits are very popular among children and their parents. And this despite the fact that they are found at every matinee more often than other costumes and have absolutely no claim to originality. And although they are often made from second-hand clothes, this does not diminish the attractiveness of the outfits. After all, who can be left indifferent by a BUTTERFLY or MOTH costume? And to embody the image of an insect-girl, you just need to put on the child an elegant light blouse and a dark (or better yet, black) skirt, tights and shoes. You will need to make a hoop for your head from black fabric on a cardboard base, on which you should attach wire antennae with beads or balls at the tips. The main work will be making the wings. To begin with, take a piece of light, plain silk - white, blue, pink or yellow. From it, a blank for wings in the shape of a semicircle is cut out, stretched and painted with watercolor paint or aniline dye according to your desire and imagination. The only requirement for the drawing is that it be symmetrical. After the design has completely dried, the fabric is collected in the center and attached to the neck, and the tips of the wings to the wrists.
For the moth costume you only need a mask, a pink dress and bracelets.
Little snowman and sun. A wonderful, albeit dangerous tandem.
These owls are easy to make if you find a skillful use for the flaps.
But this is how you can easily turn a moth into a cat and vice versa.
For the cunning animal you will need a red robe or dress and a white jacket.
To make a Christmas tree outfit, you will only need a little over half an hour. First from corrugated paper, naturally green, a sundress and a cap are made. The sundress is decorated with glued paper toys and garlands, and a top in the form of a star or icicle is attached to the cap.
Christmas tree with real lights. Below we have given a master class on how to make it.
Stock up consumables, buttons, green fabric and garland.
Make a pattern on an old newspaper. Hint: you can make it from an old T-shirt.
Transfer the pattern onto the fabric. Choose a thicker fabric.
Measure twice, cut once, make the back and front of the Christmas tree.
On the wrong side, mark the cutouts for the garland with chalk.
Insert small pieces of wire - they will hold the garlands.
Secure the garland with wire.
For safety, you need to sew on a lining, because the suit is for children.
All that remains is to connect the garland to the batteries; you can’t do it without dad.
Christmas tree, burn!
Often DIY children's New Year's costumes remade from a bag dress of the required length or a sundress. For example, a SNOWMAN: a child puts on boots or thick white socks, a hat made of shiny paper like silver foil is put on his head, or you can put on a real small bucket. The lower edge of the headdress is trimmed (or pasted over) with “hair” - rain, thin synthetic padding, white fur or woolen threads. Next to the turtleneck white put on a white synthetic sundress and belt it with a rain ribbon. You can attach a paper carrot with a soft elastic band to your nose.
If you have a fun hat, a red scarf and a white turtleneck, then you don't have to worry about a Snowman costume.
For the Clown you will need something striped and crazy bright.
Striped tights and red wigs will turn you into charming clowns.
You can just as easily make a MANTASTIC costume, to implement which you just need to wear red corduroy breeches with a lace white blouse or a jumpsuit decorated with an appliqué on the chest. Well, the red cardboard cap, of course, is covered with white circles. There will be no special material or physical costs required when making a GNOME costume. Again, take red breeches, a fluffy lace blouse, over which a yellow vest is put on. The blouse can be replaced with a shirt with removable cuffs and a fluffy collar. All that remains is to adapt a cap made of red fabric, a potato nose with an elastic band, a beard made of white or yellow foam rubber (can be replaced with fringe, padding polyester or fur). And, of course, no gnome costume would be complete without a small flashlight, which will be the finishing touch to this fabulous image.

If you need to make DIY New Year's costume for a girl, then you can start with the image of a SNOWFLAKE. Just like in Soviet times, today it remains the cherished dream of every girl. So what if this idea is not very new and original. So what if we ourselves once sported this look. Probably, it’s time to initiate my daughter into Snowflakes. So, the basis of the snowflake image is a white dress, light and flowing. A dress made of semi-transparent airy fabric with lurex trim looks most beautiful. An unlimited number of ruffles, laces and frills in an outfit will be welcome. You can also decorate the dress with rain and blue and blue details. Shoes and tights can be chosen white or light blue. A girl's hairstyle can be decorated with a tiara. The look of a crystal snowflake will be complemented by gloves or mittens to match the dress.
If you don't like to sew, make a Christmas tree out of cardboard and soft toys.
Your little fairy tale lover will be very happy if you invite her to make a RAPUNZEL costume together. This is a cartoon princess with luxurious endless hair, which is not only capable of magic, but has long become the secret dream of many girls. And it’s possible to become like your favorite Goldilocks beauty just on New Year’s Eve. And it’s good that you, the most important wizards in your daughter’s life, can do this. Sew this one DIY New Year's costume for a child Even a mother who is not very skillful with a needle can do it. The main thing is to find something to make a golden braid from, and also to choose a beautiful fluffy dress of lilac or lavender color. Thank God, today you can buy a dress for every taste. Of course, if you sew it yourself, it will only add delight to your mother in the eyes of your child, and will also make the outfit simply exclusive. But so that our always busy mothers do not waste precious time sewing a dress on their own, it is easier to buy it, choosing the appropriate length and color, and then just alter it a little. The main distinguishing feature of Rapunzel's outfit is the ruffle-shaped sleeves on the dress. It is advisable to choose a corset top that is laced in the front. Then the dress is decorated with organza, ribbons, lace, because this dress is intended for the most beautiful princess in the world! Then things will get more complicated: be able to make a long golden braid. Although, there is nothing unusual here either: a simple hairband, to which golden or yellow yarn is attached using a hot glue gun. First you need to decide on a long braid, which should be slightly longer than the girl’s height. Then you need to prepare strands of yarn of the required length, making sure that the threads do not get tangled. The hair from the headband is left at a short length, modeling something like a wig, and then it is braided into an ordinary classic long braid, and you will gradually need to weave golden rain, ribbons and flowers into it, thus decorating the hairstyle. Then a braid is braided from shorter threads, which will correspond to the length of the base - the headband. Using the same glue gun, the braid is glued to the headband on its outer side, decorating the hairstyle and hiding the not very aesthetic moments in it. This is how you can please your beloved daughter, showing only a little imagination and patience.

Just like for a girl, there is nothing particularly difficult about making a New Year’s costume for a boy with his own hands. Moreover, there are more than enough suitable ideas. Or you can realize your own ideas, because behind you is your own childhood with a lot of memories of New Year's celebrations. For example, even today boys are crazy about the MUSKETERS, whose costume is the embodiment of adventurous adventures, male fearlessness and charm. And it consists of a white shirt, breeches decorated with bows on the cuffs, as well as boots, complemented by spurs, which can be cut out of thick cardboard, covered with foil, pierced with wire and attached to the boots. The musketeer cloak is cut out of bright satin fabric in the shape of a semicircle, decorated with a cross painted in gold or cut out of golden brocade and sewn onto the front side of the cloak. The hat is made from black thick paper or simply whatman paper painted black. It is decorated with a strap with a “golden” buckle, as well as real feathers or cut out of white paper. The headdress will look richer when its brim is quite wide and the feathers attached to it are long and thick. And of course, what is a musketeer without a sword! You can buy it at any toy store or make it yourself from a hard wire rod, for example.

So, take suede fabric and sew a vest from it. Although, you can limit yourself to the purchased option. Next, fringe is made on the vest. The shirt should be light, ideally white, and fairly loose. Then jeans are selected, preferably frayed and worn with wide legs, which can also be decorated with fringe. A bright scarf is tied around the neck. A cowboy hat is a common version of a man's beach hat. You can buy it in a store, or you can borrow it from good friends. The look is completed with “brutal” shoes and matching accessories in the form of a lasso and cowboy pistols.
Do-it-yourself Santa Claus beard? Why not do it?
The PIRATE costume is timeless and fashionable. By the way, it is even simpler to manufacture than previous options. So, worn old jeans are cut below the knee level so that the cut line looks deliberately shaggy and uneven. A couple of patches are sewn onto the jeans, as well as a crude appliqué on the theme of “gold coins”. The boy also dresses up in a vest, knits a bandana scarf on his head, and ties a bright scarf around his neck. Of course, it will be good if this hero, in addition to traditional pistols, also gets a green parrot on his shoulder. And there is no point in arguing about the final touch to the costume - the black eye patch: without it, the costume will be incomplete. More modern version This outfit is the JACK SPARROW pirate costume. In this case, you will need a “real” wig, which can be made from fabric - black and red knitted shreds. Moreover, the red fabric needs to be folded like a bandana. You will need to cut strips from black fabric, which are subsequently attached to the bandana on both sides and braided into braids. Beads and ribbons are also woven into them. The fabric in the hairstyle can be replaced with thick yarn, making braids from it. You can add lace cuffs and a matching collar to the white shirt of this aristocratic pirate. To make a pirate vest, you can use an old jacket with cut off sleeves, sewing massive pockets and bright large buttons onto it. You should definitely choose a dark vest. If trousers can be simple, but also necessarily dark and short, then boots are needed up to the knees and even higher. If desired, you can convert them into “real” boots. But you need to prepare a light-colored belt with a massive buckle. And we must not forget about the most important accessories for this look, which will become for you another reason show your extraordinary imagination. And this pirate has a lot of different jewelry: from belts to rings, from bracelets to pendants, from a sword with a pistol to a compass. Perhaps now your little son will be simply delighted!
Little owl...
The underdress is made of tulle or translucent fabric in white or light blue. The outer dress is swinging and fastens with one button at the collar. The fabric for it is thicker than for the underdress. It’s good if both dresses differ from each other in texture and color (with a common white and blue color scheme).
The cape is made of the same fabric as the underdress, or other shiny material. Closure at the back of the cape.

There are 3 pom-poms running down the sides of the face - 1 large and 2 smaller. The length of the cords on which the pompoms hang should be different.
The hair is tucked under the cap, and it is pulled down over the forehead to the eyebrows.

New Year is a joyful time, but for a young mother it is very responsible, because a series of New Year's matinees involves the purchase of an expensive children's carnival costume. After all, this way the child will remember the holiday better, and besides, it real game. Agree, it’s so cool to appear in front of your friends as a pirate or a knight! And girls also want to become real princesses or fairies for one day.
Make your own costume!
If you walk among the racks with similar costumes in the Children's World, two problems immediately arise:
1. Children's New Year's costumes are often made from low-quality synthetic materials. They are very bright, but fragile, and wearing such a dress or camisole for a long time is uncomfortable.
2. Almost all New Year's costumes for children are very expensive. Perhaps because of the role they imply, or perhaps because of seasonal demand. Be that as it may, the price of such an outfit can reach sky-high heights.
"How to sew a New Year's suit?" - this is probably the question you are asking yourself right now. It is difficult, requires perseverance, and in some cases, skill - this is what many mothers must think. Well, they are partly right. But only partly. Because, if not all, then most of us are quite capable of coping with this kind of task. So, if you have the time and desire, seriously think about creating your own New Year's costumes. Some interesting ideas you can find in this article.
New Year's costumes for girls
This is where your imagination can really run wild. Today, the hobbies of young ladies are very diverse: some prefer costumes of various animals, others see themselves only in the image of a delightful princess, others are in love with monster dolls, and some even want to appear at the holiday in the form of a gargoyle or a mummy. Below are the most neutral, but still fashionable and completely implementable New Year's costumes for children, or rather, for girls.
"Snowflake"
A real symbol of the New Year and winter, very feminine image, in which any girl looks simply wonderful, is the New Year's Snowflake costume. Most often, parents of little girls settle on this idea, since little girls in a short dress covered with rain look simply charming. So, how to make a New Year's Snowflake costume? In this case, it is better to take as a basis light dress made of light or silver fabric, you can choose material with lurex - it will look good and resemble snow that shimmers in the sun. The outfit is decorated with snowflakes, rain, sparkles - whatever suits your fancy. A required attribute is a crown.
But it can be made easier
Find a white T-shirt without patterns at home. Sew or glue an applique in the form of a silver snowflake made of paper or foil onto the chest. You can use satin fabric, but keep in mind that satin frays, so paper will look better. Lantern sleeves are sewn separately from blue translucent fabric with elastic; they will be worn on the girl’s forearms. But you can do without them. It would be better to make a skirt from a dense mesh that holds its shape. Look for a silver, white or blue shade. And then on wide elastic band attach three layers of tulle, as if forming a gathered skirt - you should get something like a tutu. Complete the look with silver or light-colored shoes, white tights and pearl hair clips in your loose hair. You can also wrap the hairband in tinsel and style your hair - this will make it more comfortable for the baby at the party, and the headband will resemble a silver tiara. The Snowflake Ballerina New Year's costume is ready!
"Fairy"
Continuing the theme: “DIY New Year’s costume for a girl,” one cannot ignore this very popular image, because almost every little fashionista at home has a fairy doll capable of working miracles, which, of course, has a magnificent dress, and maybe even more than one ! Why shouldn’t mom build something similar for her mistress before the holiday? Making New Year's costumes with your own hands is very difficult, but very exciting, and the daughter's reaction compensates for all the effort spent on it.
Before work, ask the potential sorceress what kind of fairy she wants to be: a representative of the Winx Club, a baby from Disney cartoons, or maybe she has her own thoughts on this matter? No less important is the question of what she will be responsible for (land, animals, music, flowers, etc.). The color of the outfit and accessories, and sometimes the style, will depend on this. The concept of the dress itself is not too different from Snowflake's outfit. Only the color should be bright; instead of a snow pattern, it is better to place a paper or fabric flower on the chest. Don't forget to add wings to all this beauty. You can buy them separately in the store, or you can try to create them yourself. You will need wire - you will need to create a frame from it. Remember, the more unusual the shape of the accessory, the better, although your child should tell you what kind of wings his favorite fairy has. The frame will consist of two identical parts, fastened in the middle with tape, and covered with thin translucent colored fabric on top. Chiffon, organza, nylon, etc. are perfect for this purpose. If some parts of the wings didn’t turn out very well or you need to hide the wire, then you can use New Year’s rain or tinsel. Sew straps to the wings so that they can be removed if necessary. It is quite possible to make a magic wand out of wire, decorating it with tinsel on top.
New Year's costumes for girls should be romantic, feminine, cute, just like their owners. In this case, your favorite accessories will also come in handy: beads, bracelets, hairpins, your favorite handbag, etc. Shoes and tights should be chosen to match the dress.
"Rapunzel"
Due to the recent very great popularity of this cartoon, Princess Rapunzel with magical long hair and her cheerful character became the favorite of so many girls. Therefore every young lady, especially those who love Disney cartoons, will be happy with such an unusual outfit.
Main details of the costume
The first thing that needs to be created and what distinguishes this costume from all others is the golden color long braid princesses. To do this, stock up on the following materials: wool threads golden color, ribbons, flowers, pearl beads and headband. This will serve as the base for the wig. You will also need a gun for sizing materials. The length of Rapunzel's hair was much longer than her own height, but it is absolutely not necessary to resemble the cartoon in such detail. Make the braid long, but so that it is not too difficult and inconvenient for the little princess to participate in competitions and dances with it. Attach the cut yarn curls to the headband, try to use more threads to make the braid look fuller. Then start braiding, in the process weave in ribbons, rain, secure the end of the braid with a pink bow and stick beads and decorative flowers on the braid, if desired. The headband itself, so that it is not visible from under the threads, should be sealed on top with a small braided braid made of the same yarn. The wig is ready. Do-it-yourself New Year's costumes, especially such complex ones, are very difficult to build, but what a result! Everyone will remember it for sure!
Princess Rapunzel's dress is also very beautiful. It is corseted, made of pink or purple fabric. It is very difficult to sew something like this yourself, so it is better to buy a ready-made similar one. Of the recognizable accessories, Rapunzel had one - it was... a frying pan. For a couple of photos, you can give it to the girl, but only at home. Since modern emancipated ladies, even in kindergarten They may well hit the prince standing next to her with it. By the way, about them...
New Year's costumes for boys
It’s a little more difficult with boys, they have so many preferences! And everyone is different. But it’s very difficult to create a New Year’s costume for a boy at home with his own hands, especially for a robot or a medieval assassin. But for the sake of your beloved child, it’s worth trying, because in the holiday photos he will then smile the happiest smile. And, most likely, there won’t be an exact same outfit at the holiday. These are not bunny bears for you.
"Jack Sparrow"
Or rather, Captain Jack Sparrow! New Year's costumes for boys are sold in abundance in stores, but this homemade one looks very expensive and interesting. Start with the most difficult part - the wig. To make it, you will need black and brown knitwear, as well as a small piece of red for the bandana. Black and brown knitwear must be cut into strips (adjust the length of the wig yourself) - you will have to weave braids from them. Weave a brown stripe into two black ones, or vice versa. These braids can be decorated with beads, ribbons, feathers... Remember the legendary pirate! Fold a red piece of fabric into a bandana and then sew knit braids onto it. The wig is ready.
Put it on the boy white shirt, you can attach white cuffs made of light fabric to it. Let the collar be loosely unbuttoned; you can put wooden beads or some kind of massive pendant on a cord around your neck (just remember: the child should be comfortable). A pirate vest is easy to make. Remove the sleeves from an old jacket or coat. The more uneven the edges remain in this case, the better. Sew massive golden buttons or pockets onto it. It is better if this item of clothing is dark.
Everything is quite simple with the little pirate's trousers. Dark, wrinkled, tucked into boots. But a problem arises with shoes: you need boots that are comfortable, but knee-high, like a real corsair’s. It would be great if there were straight boots. As a last resort, “borrow” shoes from your hero’s sister or from neighbors, friends, rent them - there are a lot of options. You can, of course, do without boots. But the image will not look so impressive.
Among the accessories, we can recommend the following: there should be a cocked hat, a saber, a belt, rings, a bracelet, a compass, a map, pistols, beads, etc. To complete the image, it would not be superfluous to draw a mustache on the filibuster’s eyes, as well as draw a mustache with a black eye makeup pencil and a goatee. But if the pirate himself is against it, then it’s not worth it.
All. The boy’s New Year’s costume is ready with his own hands, even for the holiday!
"Father Frost"
This costume looks most touching on very young children. Before you start work, think about what color your “grandfather’s” caftan will be. Red or blue are the most typical colors for this outfit. To make your work as easy as possible, take a red or blue terry robe as a basis. If you don’t have one, you’ll have to sew a “fur coat” yourself, preferably from velvet or velor. The bottom edge, collar, and edging at the sleeves should be lined with cotton wool or faux fur. Both options are not too expensive.
Accessories
Grandfather Frost needs mittens for his hands, felt boots for his feet, and a hat for his head. If possible, buy a cotton beard and mustache. The cheeks can be slightly rouged, and if the child’s parameters do not match the character too much, then you can wear a voluminous jacket or even put a small pillow under the robe. The belt for the robe can be sewn in silver; from the same material, make a bag that can be filled with cotton wool to make it look more natural, fuller, or with candies so that your Frost treats his beloved friends.
"Parsley"
One of the most fun and easy looks, since no particularly complex patterns are needed at all. This fairy-tale character is known to everyone, and everyone also knows his funny clownish outfit. There's so much room for imagination! The brighter the wardrobe items are, the better. Take a bright shirt, let it be checked, striped, plain - it’s not so important. You can sew contrasting patches onto it using large stitches (they can be easily torn off later). If she large size- it’s not scary, because Petrushka often wore baggy clothes in fairy tales. You can take trousers in a dark shade, but it’s better not to take jeans: the look will be too modern, and in this case some archaism is needed. It would be ideal if you could sew multi-colored pants: one leg is red and the other, say, green - this is a classic.
The only thing that definitely needs to be built is the cap. Without him, Parsley definitely won’t work. Let it be from two multi-colored rags or one-color, but bright, whatever your heart desires. The shirt should be belted with a bright belt or belt. It is advisable to rouge the cheeks, as in the case of Santa Claus. You can hang two wooden spoons tied together around Petrushka’s neck, because this character loved to play music. As a rule, he wears red boots on his feet, but if it is difficult to get the same ones, then even bright sneakers can do, although this will be a slight deviation from the chosen role.
Homemade costume is better
Whatever costume you choose for your child, it will still be the most beautiful and brightest at any holiday, because outfits created with your own hands are always original and unusual. And the greatest gratitude for the needlewoman will be the child’s eyes glowing with happiness and joy. Making New Year's costumes with your own hands is very interesting. The photographs taken at the matinee will arouse pride for a long time, and not only because you have the most wonderful son or daughter, but also because you created such unprecedented beauty that is on the child yourself, with your own with my own hands. As already mentioned, children's New Year's costumes are presented in abundance on store shelves, but it is more valuable to create such a miracle yourself.

Designing and creating a children's carnival costume with your own hands is very exciting. You need to approach this creatively. There are handicraft mothers who are capable of creating a truly exclusive outfit for their baby in one night, like Vasilisa the Beautiful. But most often, mothers fall into confusion when the New Year holidays approach. And I really want to please my child with a bright carnival outfit and help him transform into his favorite hero. But ideas don’t always come to mind, not everyone has the skills. A costume, of course, can be bought or rented, but often children come to the carnival in identical costumes. For a child, the perfect pattern, straight stitches, high-quality fabric, and the price of the suit are not so important - this is important only to you and me. What is more important to the child is your love and care, your creativity, the time you spend with him creating a New Year's costume. So, dear mothers, let's roll up our sleeves and together with the baby, we will sew a New Year's costume for Zimushka with our own hands. This outfit doesn't require super dressmaker skills. And the pattern is not at all complicated.
