They require white shirts or blouses, lace shirts and cuffs, capes, over the knee boots. Thus, having made one version of the New Year's “outfit”, you can continue to use the existing developments. It turns out that
the king’s costume for the boy is an ideal solution to the problem with the carnival costume in general for several years in advance.
We think, discuss, offer
Of course, the easiest option is to buy all the necessary accessories in a regular store or order online. But after all, a thing that is sized in size often still has to be adjusted to a specific figure, and it does not always sit well. Therefore, let's try to make a king costume with our own hands. Its components: ordinary black trousers or sewn knickers, you can panties to the knees or mid-calf, caught at the bottom with elastic bands and trimmed with lace. White shirt, as an option - mother's or sister's long-sleeve blouse. It should be quite spacious, with a lap, therefore, it is especially possible not to take in, as it will be tucked into trousers. If the king’s costume, sewn with your own hands, you make with short trousers, you should take care of white golfs (tights are suitable for a small child) and shoes with buckles or high boots. Plus, of course, a
mantle (cape), a crown or a hat with a plume, a sword on a belt or on a bandage.
Start with shoes
Homemade carnival costumes are usually particularly difficult when it comes to shoes. With girls, however, it is easier in this matter. But he also decides for the guys. Royal shoes can be black or dark brown. If they are already old, having looked, you can add shine by pasting over with golden or silver foil - of course, this is for the king from kindergarten. Be sure to make large buckles. You can use flexible wire by making blanks, which are then wrapped with a golden cloth and attached to the shoes. If royal carnival costumes require boots, we suggest doing so. Bring winter shoes (we are talking about boots and ankle boots, as other types are not suitable) of your child to perfect cleanliness and shine, mask existing wear and other defects with a cream or wax. Cut out the lapels from cardboard, like jack boots. Paint over with silver or bronze paint and fix on the son’s boots. This can be done using
double-sided tape.We work with a cape
There is no king's New Year's costume for a boy without a cape. You can also sew it in different ways. This is either a long (almost to the heel) cloak-cloak trimmed around the collar, floors and bottom with an ermine, or short, to the middle of the hips. The color of the mantle can be blue, blue, red. As a rule, it should match the pantalon color. You can even use the same material - velvet, thick curtain silk or satin. The main condition is that the cloak should look rich, elegant. The dimensions of the cloth are about 1-1.5 meters by 2. After making a pattern and cutting the material into blanks, sew the mantle with your hands or a machine, sew the trim. Instead of fur, a white border is suitable, which can be corrected with a black felt-tip pen, causing "spots". This is the cloak of most fairy-tale monarchs from films. If mother knows how to sew, while there is a bit of free time, the mantle can still be decorated with a Christmas tree rain so that it gives more splendor to his majesty, because this is the king's carnival costume!
A few words about the crown
Here, no one should have any difficulties. Making a royal crown - what could be easier! A sheet of cardboard is taken so wide that it clasps the head with a margin. The height of the dress you choose. With a simple pencil, draw the teeth, trying to be the same. And cut the workpiece. The ends are connected in a circle with paper clips or glue. Paint the crown with bronze paint or paste over with foil. In order for the costume of the children's king to have a more “royal” look, attach beads, rhinestones or pieces of rain on the headdress. If a wide-brimmed hat or royal beret is more suitable for you, take care to decorate them with a large brooch and feathers - just one for the beret is enough, for the hat you need a plume more magnificent. Feathers can be bought at the sewing accessories store. Or use lush Christmas rain instead. The latter is even preferable, as it more closely matches the New Year's entourage.
How to make a sword
For a sword, you need a rather long, at least a meter, wooden rail or window glazing. They should be rather finely planed, sanded out and painted with silver. As a handle, a regular tin can lid or a plastic one is suitable. They will need to be "ennobled" with the help of foil and rain. If there are no wooden materials, pick up a steel wire rod and wrap it with silver foil. True, both types of swords are not entirely desirable for kings from kindergarten or elementary school. For them, parents can cut this symbol of noble honor all from the same cardboard. To prevent the sword from wrinkling and accidentally tearing, make two identical blanks and glue them together. Do cardboard also. And paint everything with ordinary gouache paints.
