Funny carnival
On New Year's days, girls dress up as princesses and snowflakes, and the boys dream of putting on the costume of a courageous hero. Superman and Batman were very popular in past years and are no longer relevant.
A Cossack costume for a boy is a great solution for a children's carnival. Cossacks are national warriors full of courage and determination. In past centuries, the Cossacks formed on the outskirts of Russia, boldly defended their homeland and their interests.

Cossack costume
On the shelves of shops and in special salons there is a large abundance of carnival costumes and related attributes. For a reasonable amount, you can rent a Cossack costume for a boy. This will deprive parents of the hassle of preparing the child for the holiday, but will bring certain difficulties. A Cossack boy participating in games or a round dance may accidentally damage the details of the costume or tear the fabric. Therefore, parents are encouraged to make a Cossack costume for the boy with their own hands. This is not a difficult and interesting job.
Making a Cossack costume is not at all difficult. Perhaps in the wardrobe of her husband or brother there is clothing that will become part of the outfit.
A Cossack costume for a boy consists of several parts:
- a white or red satin shirt embroidered with red threads around the edges;
- red or blue harem pants;
- wide red belt;
- little boots.
If there are no suitable things, they are easily created with your own hands.
- First you need to decide what kind of Cossack the boy will be. Zaporizhzhya Cossacks (Ukrainians), and Don Cossacks (Katsaps) had some differences both in clothes and in appearance. For the first option, it is better to give preference to a white shirt. The fabric does not matter much, but satin and silk look more solemn than linen and cotton. Make several simple patterns with red threads by embroidery on the collar in the area of buttons, cuffs.
- If suitable trousers are not found, they can easily be made by yourself. From the blue, red or blue fabric to cut wide pants. Print a pattern from a thematic site or cut out by eye.
- The color of the belt depends on the color of the bloomers - it should create a sharp contrast. To the blue pants, make a red belt, to the red ones - blue. The belt is made of a piece of fabric length, 20 cm wide.
- As shoes, take red boots or light short shoes.
Crest or katsap?
The Cossack costume for the boy is supplemented with the corresponding attributes: a saber, a hat and a mustache. If there is no suitable saber, it is made using cardboard and foil, a mustache is cut from a piece of fur or drawn with a marker on the boy's face.
The costume of the Don Cossack for the boy is distinguished by the presence of a hat and vest. Don Cossacks were jokingly called "Katsap" by their Zaporozhye twin Khokhlov. "Katsap" means a goat. Don Cossacks received this nickname for the tradition of wearing a small sharp beard that adorned their faces.
To give the costume a katsap style, a pointed fur hat and a sticking out small beard will help.
Please your boy with a Cossack costume for the matinee. Let him feel the spirit of freedom and the strong will of the Cossacks.
