Does your child adore stars and dream of becoming an astronaut? Dress him up in an almost real space suit for the next morning or carnival. An astronaut's costume is a rather complex structure, but by using imagination and some perseverance, you can make an outfit in which your child will surely win the competition for the best carnival costume.
Instructions
Step 1
It is better to start making a suit with a helmet. To do this, inflate a balloon slightly larger than your head. Cover the ball with scraps of paper - the helmet will be made using the papier-mâché technique. The paper should be well coated with glue and applied in several layers. After the frame is tight enough, leave it to dry and move on to sewing the jumpsuit.
Step 2
You need to sew a jumpsuit from silver or white fabric. To make a pattern, circle the usual children's clothing - jacket and trousers, and add a little to make the astronaut suit loose enough. Sew large mittens - leggings in the same way.
Step 3
You can decorate the jumpsuit with additional "technological" elements: stick CDs on your chest, a panel with buttons, or even light bulbs from a New Year's garland powered by batteries.
Step 4
While you were working on the jumpsuit, the helmet blank must have dried up. Using a clerical knife, cut out two circles in it: one to put the helmet on the head, the second - a window in which the child's face will be visible. Remove the burst balloon, and wrap the papier-mâché part tightly with household foil or paint with silver paint. Using thin transparent plastic (such as cake packaging) can make the helmet look more realistic. Cut a suitable, rounded visor out of the plastic and attach it to your helmet.
Step 5
A necessary item for every cosmonaut is a knapsack support system behind his back. Take a large shoebox, wrap it in foil, and attach it to the back of your jumpsuit like a knapsack.
Step 6
Moon boots are very easy to make. To do this, take rubber boots and tape the same foil onto them with tape.
Step 7
Your astronaut costume is ready. Dress up your baby in it, and feel free to send him to the matinee "to plow the expanses of the Universe."
