So everyone likes the New Year! It is especially pleasant because on this holiday you can dress up in anyone. If you want, you can even imagine and make everyone else believe that you yourself are Mrs. Metelitsa. The costume of this character will help with this. And you can make an outfit at home with your own hands.

What does the New Year's Snowstorm costume consist of?

Since ancient times, winter has been associated in people's minds with magical powers. That’s why the Snowstorm, the costume of which is made with one’s own hand at home, must have a witching attribute. It can be a magic wand or a staff similar to that with which Santa Claus himself walks.

Some believe that she is the queen of the snows. Therefore, the crown can become a hallmark that will tell everyone that in front of them is not an ordinary snowflake in a white outfit, but Madame Metelitsa.

The costume of this character may also consist of wings. After all, somehow this sorceress must fly above the ground!

A snow-white dress will complete work on the outfit.

Metelitsa headgear options

However, it is not necessary to decorate the head of this character with a crown. In order to emphasize that Mrs. Metelitsa herself appeared before the guests, the costume may consist of an original headdress.

It imitates a blizzard and a blizzard, snowdrifts. Therefore, they make it from a transparent white fabric, best of all from kapron, since it holds its shape well. To do this, cut out a circle of the largest size, as far as enough fabric.

Down from any white matter you need to sew a hat, tight-fitting crown of the head. The easiest way to make this detail on the pattern "ironing". It will take 4 parts, the lower side of which is equal to the fourth part of the volume of the head of the future Metelitsa plus allowances for the seams. The height of the “ironing” corresponds to half the girth of the head, measured between the upper points of the ears. You should not forget about allowances for hem!

After stitching the lower lining part, you need to put it on something to add volume, for example, to a three-liter jar. Now the upper kapron circle is collected “on a live” thread around the circumference and pulled in such a way that this edge corresponds to the volume of the head of the Metelitsa. The detail is put on the lining.

Having fastened the lower seam, the master proceeds to the main work on the headgear. It is necessary to grab the nylon needle in many places through and through, passing the thread through the lining. Thus, kapron will acquire the desired shape.

Dress for Snowstorm

It is interesting that last year’s outfit of snowflakes can play this role, if, of course, he did not become very small. Although you can sew a new dress from the same capron, satin or other beautiful material.

It is recommended to trim the snowstorm suit for children with fur, make him a drape. It will not be out of place to decorate the outfit with snowflakes, sparkles, white rhinestones, embroider with beads.

Long earrings (clips) with “pendants” or pearl beads made of white fur will fit very well into the image. By the way, you don’t need to pierce your ears for the sake of the holiday or suffer, suffering uncomfortable clips. After all, you can make an imitation of earrings by making jewelry with loops of thread. You can simply put them on your ears, like beads on your neck - that’s all!
