Perhaps there is no better tradition in the world than a masquerade ball. Among adults, this joyful event is very popular. Well, what can you say about the children! For them, this, in addition to entertainment, is also a kind of competition. After all, every kid, however, like an adult, wants to appear at the celebration in the best outfit, with a beautiful crown or just surprise everyone with something unusual. True, to come up with a carnival costume for children is much easier than choosing clothes for an adult.
The holiday is not far off, and you are in a panic? In fact, children's carnival New Year's costume is not such a big problem. You can rent an outfit, buy it (today many companies and online stores specialize in this direction) or independently approach this issue. Of course, the acquired outfit is more detailed and high-quality, in addition, professionals were engaged in sewing it. But only a loving mother will be able to create a bright, unusual and fabulous costume from the materials available at home.
What to dress your daughter with: in the animal world
There are two ways to create children's carnival costumes for girls. The first involves the decoration of clothing purchased in a store. In this case, you may need beads, feathers, sequins, buttons, colored paper, ribbons, Christmas tinsel, in short, all that can transform a costume. The second method involves sewing the outfit from scratch. Do not immediately abandon this venture, because it is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. This option is suitable for that category of mothers who have little sewing skills, and, of course, who have a sewing machine at home. If you decide to sew a suit yourself, you should not choose a complex fabric, since it will take much more time to create a dress (additional processing along the edge will be required). The ideal option is fleece, children's knitwear, supplex, felt and tulle. You do not have a pattern? This is not a problem; they can be found in fashion magazines.
Let's look at some interesting, but at the same time simple options. Take, for example, a carnival costume for children “Bright Butterfly”. To create it, you will need a wire from which you need to twist the frame of the wings, and then tighten with a cloth (you can replace it with tulle). Butterfly wings are ready, but somehow they look gloomy with us. Let's decorate them with beads, sequins or sparkles. Remember what else our insect lacks? Of course, a horn. They can be made from the same wire as the frame, secured to a regular rim. It remains to choose a beautiful dress. That, perhaps, is all. Your child is ready for the morning party.
Quite unusual, your child will look in a suit of a goldfish. Choose a suitable skirt and blouse for the holiday and glue them with "scales" of gold film. Organza or golden tulle is suitable for creating a tail. Do not forget that a real Goldfish must be with a crown.
Children's carnival costume for a girl: visiting a fairy tale
Every girl wants to feel like a real princess or fairy! So why not give the baby such pleasure? Moreover, a suitable occasion. Prepare a beautiful elegant dress, a chic crown (if the image of a princess is created) or a magic wand (for a sorceress). Many kids really liked the Tinker Bell fairy, and she has very beautiful transparent wings. Maybe you should give a daughter a couple of these?
If you want something more original, you can turn the girl into a gypsy. To do this, you need a bright skirt with frills and as many shiny bracelets as possible.
Dress Up Little Boy: Popular Options
It is not necessary that the children's carnival costume for the boy matches the symbol of the coming year. You can create the image of a pirate, a forest animal, a hero, a sailor. There are many options, and each of them is good in its own way. Each mother knows better the tastes and wishes of her children.
To create a costume for the Russian hero, you will need a wide shirt, bright harem pants, a helmet, boots and a sword. You will certainly find clothes and shoes, but the rest will have to be done independently. Helmet and sword can be made of cardboard, pasted with a shiny gold and silver film.
If the son agrees to be in the role of the Cat in boots, boots with large buckles and a felt hat with wide brim will be required. You need to decorate it with feathers, add ribbons and a beautiful buckle.
Fancy kids carnival costume for boy
If the baby would really like to look funny, the image of the Goblin or the terrible Koshchei the Immortal will do! With the first option, everything is very simple: tousle the child's hair and dress him in "tatters" of green and brown. To achieve a more truthful image, add twigs, artificial leaves, several fungi, you can even birds. Such a suit will appeal to both the bully and Tikhon.
With Koshchei Immortal work much more. You will need black jeans and a turtleneck, plain white paper, black gloves, a crown, a sword and a heavy gold chain. Cut out bones from paper and decorate clothes with them. Do you remember how scary Koschey seemed to us in childhood? Now look at your little son, something seems to be missing. Of course, we forgot to paint his face!

It is very simple to make a hunter costume for children’s carnival (you can Robin Hood). The carnival outfit will look unusual and noble, this image will suit absolutely all the boys.
The costume consists of several parts. Firstly, you need a hat, the floors of which need to be pasted over with fur or decorated with feathers. Secondly, prepare the necessary clothes: a shirt, a vest (it can be sewn from fabric for sheepskin coats) and pants. Thirdly, we need boots, preferably made of leatherette, they are sewn to Czechs. Well and most importantly - a hunting bag with a trophy.
Carnival accessories
Perfectly complement the costume carnival children's volumetric mask that you can do with your own hands. Measure the face of the child, prepare clay. On the modeling board, put the appropriate measurements, figure out how you would like to see the future mask, and proceed to create a fabulous face.
When you and your baby will like the result, proceed to the next step. Take an old newspaper and tear it into small pieces, cover the face from plasticine with oil, and on top stick several layers of scraps of paper. Let the mask dry a little. Subsequent layers are glued to PVA glue. When the mask is thick enough, you need to stick clean white paper and leave to dry. After about a week, remove the face from the plasticine base and paint with bright colors.
