No matter how hard parents try not to think about the upcoming holidays, they are inexorably getting closer day by day. And this means that you need to take care of decorating the house, and gifts, as well as carnival costumes for yourself and your children.
What kind of New Year's costumes for children can be made with your own hands, spending a minimum of money and time on it.
New Year's costumes for boys
Leopold cat.
Favorite childhood hero of all modern parents. His costume is simple: all you need are plain pants, a T-shirt, slippers, and a huge bow. Note that in different pictures you can see t-shirts and bows of different colors, so a bright yellow or orange color is quite suitable, and a bow can even be made with polka dots. With the help of colored paper, adhesive tape and a hoop, you can make ears in half an hour, and a mustache is drawn with a felt-tip pen before going out to people.
Dunno costume for the New Year.
Almost every artist contributes to the image of this unlucky boy. That is why you have free space for creativity. Nikolai Nosov himself writes: “Kids always went either in long trousers, or in short pants with a shoulder strap. Dunno wore a bright blue hat, yellow canary trousers, and an orange shirt with a green tie. He generally liked bright colors.
But you can always answer with a light conscience that the hero of a fairy tale cannot walk in the same outfit every day! The main thing is to use plain, bright clothes!
Harry Potter.
Gray sweater, tie, robe and glasses - and your homemade Harry Potter is ready. Drawing a scar is not difficult, and getting a “magic” wand is even more so!
New Year's costumes for girls
New Year's costume of Little Red Riding Hood.
Daughter can be dressed in a fearless Little Red Riding Hood costume. Of course, you will have to look for attributes, but still it is much easier to find them than, say, a Darth Vader helmet for a boy. Especially considering that the cap can be knitted, sewn, purchased, etc. Even its color can vary from red to maroon.
Mini Mouse costume.
Charming coquette. All you need is black golf, black tights, white gloves, a bright dress, a bow and make ears.
But of course, the most important thing in this venture is always your imagination and the availability of free time. Under such conditions, you can build almost any costume, since the choice of fabrics, sewing accessories and finishing materials is simply huge. You can sew a suit of peas, butterflies, bees, Zorro, etc. After all, only you are able to give your child a holiday!
