Raven is a wise, strict bird, spectacular in its own way. If you make a Christmas costume, stylized for it, you get an original outfit in which your child will be interested, convenient, comfortable. It’s quite easy to build it yourself. You just need to be smart and imaginative.
Details and elements of the costume
What parts can a raven costume consist of? For example, such: tight black leggings or tights, panties. The same blouse, blouse, sweater, body shirt. A hat with a beak. Now in more detail.
- Bottom, i.e. pants. If we are talking about a girl, then it’s good that they were from material with lycra, i.e. with low tide, brilliance. Dense kapron tights will also do, only without a pattern. In this case, ravens can be decorated with tall boots, on the leg, close-fitting, or over the knee boots. To decorate, make a “fringe” of Christmas tree rain. The breeches are also suitable as the bottom, also dark. In this case, you can decorate the bottom of the trousers with rain. Another option is black pants or jeans. He is good under a raven costume for a boy. Make a black fringe and wash it to the bottom, above somewhere about 5-7 cm from the edge. Shoes - brown shoes, etc. Another suggestion: if you dress up a little sonny, velvet pants on cuffs below, suitable for him, will suit him.
- Top - what should it be? A raven costume for a girl admits a black blouse outfit that reaches a length up to the middle of the hips. A tunic will do. The hem can be trimmed with “tails” or wide fringe. Decorate your waist with a thin lacquer strap. Or use the Christmas tree rain. On a breast wash home-made fringe, black, of course. In general, the more all sorts of “scatter”, “feathers”, the better. Thus, you stylize a raven costume like a real bird. To keep the New Year's entourage, trim the top with shiny circles of confetti. It will turn out great! If you do not have a blouse, but a turtleneck, body shirt or men's shirt, then wash the fringe-wings on the sleeves. This is the answer to the question of how to make a raven costume for a son - a small one or a teenager. Last detail: drape. Build a “lionfish” from black silk, again, trim it with a fringe, decorate with confetti. Throwing it on your shoulders, your child will become a mysterious, exactly the same as a real bird!
- Finishing crafting a raven costume, you will have to make a mask with your own hands. How? Black tight hat on his head. Cone-shaped beak: glue small paper bags, rather large. Paint it light brown or yellow. Sew elastic bands or braid. Fasten on the head by putting the beak on the nose. Top hat. You can do something else: build a beak using the papier-mâché technique. Instead of a hat, use a hood if the child puts on a body shirt or jacket, where one is available. Then the ties hide under him. A girl can tie a black scarf, and put a beak not on the face, but on the forehead.
Final recommendations
Do not forget about jewelry, especially when it comes to a suit for a daughter. Embroider a jacket or sweater with dark beads or, in contrast, white pearl beads. Make a white lace frill. In a word, try to make the outfit original, bright, colorful, truly festive! Good luck to you!
