Morning performances in kindergarten and school allow children and parents to show all their imagination and creativity. What could be more interesting than coming up with new looks and making costumes? Still wondering who your child will be this time? An interesting character is a stargazer. You can make a costume for him with your own hands.
Cloak
In fact, a stargazer suit consists of a mantle and a cap decorated with a scattering of stars. The traditional color scheme: a dark background (blue or black) and decorative elements in silver and gold. However, it will turn out no worse if you experiment with color, for example, take a light base fabric and contrasting decorative elements. Who says a cloak cannot be green or red? Let each stargazer decide on his own. The costume can be decorated with stars of different sizes and colors.
The mantle is sewn from a large rectangle of fabric. On the long side of the cut, sew a drawstring for a lace or ribbon. Stars can be cut out of shiny fabric, wrapping paper, or use ready-made sequins, textile stickers for applique. The astrologer’s costume is sewn with his own hands without a pattern, because it is not difficult to determine the dimensions of the rectangle for the mantle. If the fabric is small, it is not necessary to sew a long cloak - you can limit yourself to a cloak just below the waist. The edges of the mantle can not be processed, but carefully hemmed or trimmed with fringe or tinsel.
Master cap
The headpiece can be made of the same material as the cloak, or of glossy cardboard, similar in color. Make a blank template: for this, draw a smooth arc on the cardboard from the corner so that you get a part equal to 1/4 of the circle. On the bottom edge, measure a segment equal to the circumference of the head, and add a couple of centimeters to fix. Glue the cap. You can fix it with a
clerical stapler. If desired, decorate the workpiece with a cloth. Do not forget to stick or sew on the same stars as on the mantle - your stargazer is almost ready. The costume can be decorated with tinsel. It will be very interesting if it also has small stars.
How to complement the costume? Accessories and ideas
The image of a stargazer is perfect for both a boy and a girl. You can make the outfit of this character for an adult. The costume consists of a mantle and a cap. You can wear it on ordinary plain clothes, suitable in color. You can also put on a cloak for holiday clothes - a beautiful dress or a suit from a shirt and trousers.
What accessories does the stargazer use? The costume of this character can be supplemented with a telescope (let it be a kaleidoscope or a telescope, which can be pasted over with shiny paper and decorated with stars). And if you add a magic wand to the dress from the mantle and cap , you will get a full-fledged outfit of the wizard.
