Learn how to make a deer costume with your own hands from the article.
Jumpsuit for the little ones
New Year's masquerade is always very exciting. Creating an image, finding clothes, finishing touches in the form of accessories and makeup - preparing for the festive event brings a lot of fun, especially for mothers, because it is they who first of all ask themselves how to make a New Year's costume with their own hands? So, if you want your baby to appear in the image of a deer on New Year's Eve, check out the instructions for creating an assistant Santa Claus costume .
Overalls suit
In general, a deer costume can be created from a ready-made jumpsuit. The main thing is that it should have a brownish tint, the fabric should be plain and soft (plush, wool, fur) - in general, it should resemble a deer skin as much as possible. You should also pay attention to the fact that there is a hood on the overalls that will fit snugly to the head.
Tip: put your baby in a diaper - this will prevent the occurrence of awkward situations.
Sew a suit of shorts and vests
This technique does not require serious sewing skills. Just take the baby’s old t-shirt, gently tear off the sleeves from it, and cut a three-centimeter strip on the chest section in the middle.
After attaching the details to the fabric from which you plan to make the costume, circle them with a piece of chalk or soap. Cut out the fragments, leaving an allowance of a few centimeters. Now just sew the details.
Actually, the algorithm for sewing shorts is exactly the same. By the way, as a “basis” for shorts, you can use the old panties of the child. That's all - the deer costume is ready! This suit can be transformed into a girl, replacing shorts with a flared skirt.
Deer in coat
A deer costume can be made from a universal cloak - this option is suitable for those who either do not have sufficient sewing experience, or simply do not have too much time. First, measure the girths of the baby’s head and the distance from the neck to the knee or lower (the main thing is to find a measure, otherwise the cloak will show all its inconvenience while walking).
Take a large piece of fabric and cut the product, similar to how you usually cut a skirt-sun. Do not forget that the bottom of the product should be flashed - so it will look neater. By the way, the hem can be decorated with a golden “snow”.
In order to make the deer costume look as believable as possible, you can cut an oval from beige fabric and place it on the abdomen.
Homemade Accessories
What is a deer costume without the good old horns?
Do not forget to warm the baby by putting on white tights and a turtleneck underneath. You can add a finishing touch to the hood by attaching the horn gloves made of two white cotton-filled gloves to the hood. The fur tail will be a charming addition to the costume.
Horns can also be made from a wide head hoop. On them, by means of a rigid wire, twist the deer horns, and then wrap them with material such as cotton wool or twine.
A competent make-up will complement the costume of a deer. You can find video tutorials on creating the image of a deer on various video hosting sites or experiment with such a task yourself. The main thing is to use a special face painting for drawing a drawing, that is, water-based paints, since the use of the wrong “resources” can negatively affect the baby’s health. That's it! Properly combining these elements, you can get a costume that everyone around will envy.
