Every child always knows which character or animal in the costume he wants to be at the New Year's carnival. In this article, we will talk about how to make a squirrel costume with your own hands.
Main
It is necessary to start preparing the apparel from the most important outfit. It can be a dress, a skirt with a jacket or even a pantsuit. There are many options for how to sew a squirrel costume and how it may look in the end result. However, an important point: it is much better if the clothes are orange, because it is such a protein that looks in all children's drawings. But you should not dress the baby completely in all the same color, so it will be uninteresting. For example, a girl’s golf can be white or gray, as a breast might look like in a forest animal. It is also good for the child to wear white or light golfs or tights so that the costume is elegant. Shoes must also be taken care of, they should at least match the tone. If there is only dark shoes, the child will need to give the handles a dark basket in which the squirrel can collect nuts.
Ears
When planning to make a squirrel costume with your own hands, you also need to take care of how the ears of this beauty look like, because they distinguish this animal from other forest inhabitants. It is worth recalling that the ears have squirrels with tassels, so they should also look like on a child. To do this, you can sew the usual triangular ears (which are attached to the hoop), just insert a little pile from the top into the corner (even with a regular paint brush). Everything, ears for a squirrel costume are completely ready!
Tail
What carnival costume "squirrel" will do without a tail? This is a very important detail that should not be forgotten. However, making a tail for a given animal is not so simple. It must be remembered that in these rodents it is almost always beautiful and with a bend raised up. To make such a tail, you need a belt that will be on the child’s waist, a wire structure, and also fur. A wire is attached to the belt (made in the form of an oval, slightly pointed at the ends) so that it can be pulled on a fur sewn around the edges. The height of the structure is approximately 45 centimeters (per 5-year-old baby). The fur also needs to be wrapped around the belt. The tail itself is unlikely to hold well, so you can make thin straps from the fur, which will be worn as if the child had not a tail, but a backpack. That's all, the product is ready!
Makeup
While preparing the squirrel costume, mom can do makeup for the child with her own hands. It can be special face paints, which will need to draw at least a black dot on the baby’s nose - the nose of the animal. But the girl can also make easy make-ups, the kids really like it. It is worth noting that in this version of the New Year's costume one should not be afraid of bright colors, because a squirrel can be a coquette, which is not afraid to be painted with red lipstick.
Tinsel
When preparing a Christmas squirrel costume with your own hands, it is worth remembering that it should be festive to the maximum. New Year's tinsel is what decorates the robe. She can sheathe the edges of clothes (if they are not trimmed with fur), you can hang New Year's rain on the neck in the form of beads. The outfit is completely ready!
