All the kids are looking forward to such a holiday as the New Year. And this is not surprising, because at that time all dreams come true, and the good Grandfather Frost brings many gifts. An excellent carnival costume will also help brighten up the celebration.
About clapperboard
If a kid needs a clapperboard costume for the New Year's carnival, parents often get lost and do not understand how and what to make it from. But here everything is extremely simple. You just need to imagine the cracker itself. She is always bright, alluring. The suit should be the same for the baby.
About the girls
If you need a clapperboard suit for a girl, there can be a huge number of variations. However, the most successful option:
- Headgear - a cap that will end with bright ponytails (imitating a shot).
- Dress or vest with a skirt, decorated with colorful tinsel.
- Bright shoes.
- From the accessories you can take a clapperboard model made of paper (the product will look like a big candy).
About the boys
If a boy needs the same New Year's costume, there is also nothing scary or complicated.
- You will need a hat cap.
- Also, a jumpsuit decorated with tinsel, or pants with a vest, will be needed.
- Shoes should be bright.
- The boy does not need accessories for this costume.
Cap
You can start preparing a clapperboard costume by creating a hat cap for the baby. And all because the hat for both the boy and the girl will be made according to one sketch. To do this, you need a Whatman paper, from which you need to make a cylinder. Here it is important to prepare the product according to the size of the child's head. Indeed, in this case, the hat will be comfortable "sitting" and will not prevent the child from having fun. Next, the product must be wrapped with bright wrapping paper so that the tail can be tied on top. Attaching paper to the paper is best done with double-sided tape. Now the paper can be folded into a ponytail and secured with a bright ribbon. If desired, this tail can be cut into small strips, which will be an excellent imitation of a cracker shot.
Tailoring of a suit for the girl
If it is not possible to sew a clapperboard suit for a girl, it can be made from the clothes that the baby already has. To do this, just take a bright dress (for example, red) and decorate it with rain and sparkles. But in this case, it is best to think about a petticoat, as the cracker should be magnificent. Make it easy. To do this, you need tulle of the corresponding color. The petticoat is cut out like a full flared sun. If you wish, you can make several of its levels, which you just need to fasten with an elastic band (if you want to make the skirt even more magnificent).
If you want a baby to sew a blouse, you need to cut it out according to the sketch of the simplest T-shirt. Further, you only need to sew on the sleeves-flashlights. It is also good to decorate the collar of the blouse with beads or sequins.
If a clapper suit is supposed, the girl’s dress can be either straight (easier to sew) or cut-off at the waist. It all depends on the wishes of the child and the mother herself. A straight dress is made according to the elongated pattern of a loose T-shirt. Sleeves are also nice to make in the shape of flashlights. It remains only to decorate the costume with sparkles, rain, sequins.
Sewing a suit for a boy
It is also not difficult for the boy to sew a suit for the new year . As a basis, you can take patterns of the most ordinary straight pants and a straight shirt.
- Top suit. The shirt for the suit needs to be slightly shortened (to the waistline) along the back and the shelf. Sleeves can be made interesting by collecting them in width on an elastic band in the region of the elbow and the baby’s hand. The collar can be made large and beautiful by laying it out over the entire width of the shoulders of the baby.
- Trousers. They also cut out according to the most ordinary pattern, as is the case with the shirt. The width of each trouser leg in the area of the knee and foot on the leg are gathered for elastic.
- As ornaments, you can make large bright buttons on the shirt. Also on the back of the suit you can embroider the contours of a cracker.
Footwear
When preparing a Christmas clapper suit, you also need to decorate your child’s shoes. If this is a girl, you can take bright beautiful shoes. They are decorated with rain, ribbons, sequins. Boy's shoes can be a little more modest. In this case, it will be enough to attach a small booth to the toe of the shoe, like a clown’s. This will diversify the costume and make it more beautiful and elegant.
Accessories
If a clapper suit is made, you can also give the baby a bright and beautiful accessory in his hands - a model of a real clapperboard. Make it completely easy. The base will be made in the shape of a cone, the material is whatman or thick cardboard. Next, the product itself needs to be wrapped in bright wrapping paper, as in the case of the cap. The color of the paper can be chosen to suit the color scheme of the suit, or cut into it. The bottom of the cracker should be covered with paper. But on top you will need to tie a tail. And the bigger it is, the better. You need to tie it with a long paper tape (it will be an imitation of a rope, for which you need to pull it so that the cracker explodes).
Nuances
In order for the New Year clapperboard costume to be fully completed, you need to think through all the details. So, if the child will wear a vest, underneath you need to pry a plain turtleneck. It is better if it is a soft color (in this case, the costume will not be overloaded). The girl will also need tights or golfs, the boy needs to wear plain socks (preferably a light color).
Alternatives
If a mother wants to independently prepare her baby carnival costumes, the photos in this matter are the first helpers. You can always ask the educators how best to dress the baby so that he is comfortable at the holiday. What else can be clapperboard costumes?
- For girls, you can sew a dress on the floor of a cylindrical shape. It will be based on whatman or thick cardboard covered with fabric. So, the child will be completely like a clapperboard. The only negative: the suit is uncomfortable, and the child is unlikely to be comfortable in it.
- Another version of the dress for the girl: a narrow dress on the floor, gathered from the bottom with an elastic band. Sleeves are flashlights. Again, the product will not be too convenient.
- The boy can make a one-piece jumpsuit as a costume. It is also not too difficult to sew. The lower part is like regular straight trousers, the upper - like a shirt. The product is connected at a level just below the waist. The suit of a cracker for a boy is decorated with a rain.
It is worth mentioning that the very same carnival costumes can be sewn in completely different ways (photo of children from kindergarten matinees is the first confirmation of this). You just need to turn on your imagination and come up with something of your own, original.
