For a girl, a Christmas tree costume is one of the popular options for magical transformation. In the article, we will consider several simple and more complicated models of dresses in sewing, we will analyze how to make a real masterpiece from ordinary fabric in which the child would feel comfortable. A girl in such a peculiar outfit should look beautiful, feel free and relaxed, because she will have to move a lot in it, participate in competitions, and dance.
Requirements for
The material should be green, like a forest beauty. Since the Christmas tree is new, it is necessary to decorate it with garlands and toys. To do this, in addition to green fabric, you can buy bright small pieces or ribbons for decoration. It is also necessary to make the top of the New Year tree. For this, in addition to the Christmas tree costume, you will have to make a hat with a star at the top.
Shoulder Cape
The simplest version of this outfit will be the manufacture of a separate cape on the shoulders and a hoop on the head. You can make such a product from corrugated cardboard. It will take a piece of paper measuring the size of the shoulder to the waist of the child. With a simple pencil draw the contours of the Christmas tree with sharp triangular edges. A neckline is made from above so that the solid material does not rub the girl’s neck and chin. Then, two identical parts for the back and the front of the cape are cut with scissors. Wide elastic bands are inserted on the shoulders and sides, on which the whole structure will be held.
To make the cloak bright, it is better to use self-adhesive for decorating the Christmas tree costume. The background is made of light and dark green paper. We decorate the tree with circles of different colors. You can not only cut them out of self-adhesive and attach to the base, but also enrich them with silver or gold rain by gluing PVA to glue.
It remains to make only a hoop on his head. First, cut out an asterisk from thick yellow cardboard. Then a strip of paper 4 cm wide. Having rounded the blank around the head, measure its circumference and cut off the excess. We fix with threads or a stapler. The edges of the staples should be on the outside, so as not to accidentally scratch the child. Then on the hoop in front you need to attach a star. That's it, the Christmas tree costume for the girl is ready! Under the cloak, you can wear any dress, leggings and a turtleneck of neutral colors, plain.
Green dress design
If your daughter already has a plain green dress, then from it it is easier to make a Christmas tree costume for the New Year. To do this, create an illusion of layering on a fluffy skirt. You can sew (evenly or at an angle) garlands of rain of any contrasting color so that the elements are clearly visible on the skirt. Free spaces are decorated with balls. They can be made using cotton wool and wide satin ribbons. To do this, cut several squares of different colors, put a cotton ball in the middle and close the edges of the square from all sides.
Sew a bunch of satin. Then the resulting shiny balls can be sewn onto the dress, placing them in different places. There is no need to sew balls on the back of the skirt, as the child will be uncomfortable to sit. Also, for such a Christmas tree costume for the New Year, you need a hat. It could be a cone hat. For its manufacture, you can use a sheet of Whatman rolled up by a cone. The edges need to be glued or stapled together. It is permissible to cover the surface in different ways: to glue with a cloth, colored paper with rain or to wind a green garland from top to bottom with a spiral.
Frame dress
As an option, you can make a frame Christmas tree costume for the girl for the New Year. First, a Christmas tree silhouette is formed from wire. Then the tree is cut according to the pattern of synthetic winterizer. Next, prepare a pattern of fabric folded in half. When cutting the workpiece, do not forget to leave 1 cm on each side at the seams. The last stage is the assembly together. A synthetic winterizer, a skeleton are placed on a layer of matter, a second layer of fabric is placed on top and sewn together with an inner seam of the edge. After fitting, a hole for the face is cut out, the edges are sewn around.
From the back you can make ties on ribbons like a backpack and on a belt. Then a tightly fixed Christmas tree will not move sideways. It remains to decorate the product with balls and a garland. As the last for the Christmas tree costume, you can use a flounce of bright fabric or rain. Balls are easy to make by the method described above, or create small pompons from multi-colored yarn. Recall how to do them.
Pompons
Two identical rings are cut out of cardboard. Tucking the end of the thread inside, tie a knot so that the thread does not unwind. Then they begin to wind the thread around the entire circumference around the rings. When the needle with the thread does not fit in the middle, you need to trim the edge. Then a simple strong cotton thread is taken, and the yarn is cut with scissors. To do this, the sharp edge of the scissors must be inserted between the two ringlets and walk around the entire circumference. Next, a simple thread is inserted between the rings and a strong knot is tied. Then they cut the rings and remove them from the yarn. Trim the length of all pompom threads to one level. So do several parts of different colors and sew on the Christmas tree in various places.
Sundress
A Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year can be made from a simple green flared sundress. To get a decorated Christmas tree, you need to take bright stripes and sew it at an angle to the fabric base. It will be garlands. It can also be made of gold or red rain. Between the rows of such strips you need to attach balls. Volume application is also suitable.
You can make it from foam circles, trimmed with multi-colored fabric. A conical hat is put on the head. At the top of the headdress, either an asterisk or a ball is attached. For completeness, you can sew green booties on your feet and decorate them also with pompons or balls made of foam rubber.
Tailoring dresses from felt
To make the dress resemble a Christmas tree, it should consist of several layers or frills. You can sew a sundress for a child from felt by making several assembled parts from the bottom. Round each shuttlecock so that a wavy line is created along the edge. Headgear should complement the image.
The conical hat at the bottom also has a wavy edge. Dress is also decorated with balls. You can sheathe all the edges with rain, then the dress will get an extra shine. Under the light of electric lamps in the hall, the outfit will shine beautifully.
Guipure ruffles

Next, you will need to make separately selected frills of transparent material and sew them on the skirt in several layers. You can use guipure, chiffon, tulle, etc. The skirt looks elegant and magnificent.
