Before the New Year holidays, parents start thinking about costumes for their children. Everyone wants their son or daughter to celebrate the New Year in a beautiful and memorable costume that no one else has. Most often, mothers-needlewomen sew masterpieces on their own, sometimes they order them in an atelier, but the main thing for all of them is the idea!
Necessary
- - casual or festive clothing as the basis of the costume;
- - face paints and makeup cosmetics;
- - costume accessories (ears, snouts, ponytails);
- - strips of rain or tinsel.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that the attention of parents, creativity and joint creation of an idea for an outfit is important for a child. The quality of the fabric, the evenness of the stitches and the cost of the masterpiece are not at all important to him. Draw the right conclusion from all this. Let the carnival costume be not so perfect, but made "by order" of the kid. Talk to him, find out his favorite characters and heroes, let him decide which of them he wants to transform into. Try to take into account all his desires in the details of the New Year's outfit.
Step 2
When creating the image of a fairy-tale character, do not achieve an exact resemblance to him. In most cases, only the bright and characteristic touches to the portrait are important. By following this simple rule, you will be able to make a suit yourself and with a minimum investment of time and money. Find the most suitable clothes in the child's wardrobe that can become the basis of the outfit. It is possible that something can be found in the wardrobes of parents and siblings.
Step 3
Think about makeup. It can always be done with face paints and cosmetics. Complete the costume with a wig, ears, horns, patches and other accessories that can be cut out of cardboard. Watch again cartoons with characters in which you want to incarnate a son or daughter. It is quite possible that clothing alone will be enough to create a successful and recognizable image.
Step 4
Try to move away from the usual outfits of snowflakes, princesses and gnomes. The princess can be Thumbelina or the heroine of a Disney cartoon. The image of a bear cub can also be taken from a particular cartoon. If inspiration is not enough, all kinds of children's fairy tales, films and cartoons can become an inexhaustible storehouse of ideas for designing costumes. All kinds of animals can also be wonderful characters for the reincarnation of a child.
Step 5
Add New Year's touches to the costume if desired. These can be stripes of colored rain or tinsel. But do not overly decorate the costume with shiny jewelry. They should not overshadow the main touches of the costume, but just add a touch of New Year's mood to it.
Step 6
Be sure to learn with your son or daughter a poem or song that matches his New Year's outfit. This will help protect the created costume. It will be even better if you combine the efforts of two kids and learn a rhyme that they could perform in roles. If poetry is tight - have the child perform a character dance to the music.
