Modern look
Modern cinema and cartoons depict the robber in exactly the form you can see in this photo.
If you decide to make such a suit, you should know what parts it will consist of. It:
- black trousers or pants;
- jacket or striped T-shirt;
- mask;
- additional accessories.
And now let's move on to the direct manufacture of every detail of the image.
clothing
To create a robber costume for a boy, it is not necessary to sew clothes on your own. If in the wardrobe you can find the necessary things, then use them.
The robber is dressed in black pants or trousers. Perhaps in each closet you can find them. But if not, you can always sew your own pants. Choose a classic cut and versatile material.
The top of the suit is a striped jacket or T-shirt. If this is not in your wardrobe, you can independently paint a white jacket. Costumes of robbers do not have clear standards, so you can combine the available things.
Hide face
As a mask, you can use a black strip of fabric with cut out holes for the eyes. It is better to use knitted fabric, it is convenient to work with it. Trim the edges of the mask and don't forget about the ties.
You can choose an alternative - draw a mask with paints. For this, ordinary black watercolor paint is suitable.
Addition
In order to complement the ready-made costumes of the robbers, use hats and gloves. The headgear that fits this look should fit snugly to the head, always black. You can choose a hat several sizes smaller so that it does not completely cover your head.
Gloves are best preferred fingerless leather. But thin fabrics are also suitable.
As an additional accessory, a bag of money that can be made with your own hands is suitable. For this, two rectangles are cut out of a dense fabric or burlap. After that, they are sewn together to make a bag. They turn it inside out and fill it with foam rubber or a crumpled newspaper. To make it clear that there is money in the bag, you can decorate it with the dollar emblem, which is drawn with a marker on the bag or cut out of green fabric. One of the options for how to make a robber costume with your own hands is shown in the following photo.
Rogue Pirate
The image of this robber has been known since ancient times and is often found in cartoons and movies. If you have chosen such a suit, then you can familiarize yourself with an example of how it might look.
Such robber costumes may look a bit like pirates. The outfit consists of items such as:
- pants or breeches;
- T-shirt or sleeveless;
- headband;
- additional attributes.
Consider how to make each of these parts with your own hands.
Torn clothes
For the bottom of the suit fit old wide pants that are not a pity to cut. Cuts are made in the form of triangular denticles. At the same time, the length is removed to make breeches. Such a robber costume for a boy should not look strictly.
As the top of the clothes, choose an old sweater or t-shirt. Why old? It is unlikely that anyone will like to cut new and still wearable clothes with scissors. Sweatshirt on the same principle do torn.
If you don’t have the opportunity to use ready-made clothes, you can sew them yourself. To do this, you need fabric and a sewing machine.
As a complement to clothing, a vest is often used. At the same time, clothes can be with various emblems and patterns.
Kerchief
As this headdress can be used rags of fabric of the necessary color. Twist the fabric in several layers - you get a wide horizontal strip, which is located on the forehead, tied on the back to several knots. You can use a bandana, the same scarf that covers the entire head.
Rogue Attributes
In order to get a bright New Year's suit of the robber, we advise you to supplement it with paraphernalia. A toy weapon is perfect for this. Revolvers or guns can be used to give credibility to an image. And if you tie a belt of fabric on your pants, then this weapon will be easy to fix. Sabers and daggers made of plastic are also suitable for the image of a robber.
As an interesting addition, you can sew a small bag that is filled with coins and worn on the belt.
A clip in the ear looks good in the form of a round earring, which was customarily worn by pirates and robbers. You can complement the image with other details if you think it is necessary.
