Magicians at all times surprised people of different ages. Card tricks, moving objects, and much more are commonplace for them. If your child is fond of such fun and likes to arrange home performances, then you should know how to make a magician costume for a boy with your own hands.
Image Basics
So, what will our costume consist of? It all depends on your capabilities and desires. Here is a list of the main details of the image:
- a suit, preferably a three;
- Cape
- cylinder;
- additional attributes.
As you can see, the list of the main components of the image is not so big. If you are determined to create a costume with your own hands, then having made all of the above details, you will get a great magician. The costume and the rest of the clothes will be discussed later in the article.
Costume
Ideally, the magician is dressed in classic black pants with arrows, a white shirt, a red vest and a tailcoat. But you can change these details as far as possible. That is, if there are such things in the baby’s wardrobe, then you won’t have to buy or sew something on purpose.
Of all the above, pants and a shirt are mandatory, which are usually found in every wardrobe. If you still have a jacket, you can use a red bow tie instead of a vest. And if there is a vest, then it is not necessary to wear a jacket. This does not mean at all that in the presence of a three-piece suit it is impossible to supplement it with a bow-tie in the color of a vest, on the contrary, the more details, the more realistic the outfit will be.
If, however, you decide to sew a magician costume for the boy with your own hands, then we recommend choosing a black satin for this. The sheen of this material will add luxury and a festive mood. In the photographs that are in the article, you can see examples of the appearance of a magician.
Cloak
This is a mandatory part of the image, without which the magician does not go on stage in front of the audience. The cloak can be easily sewn at home, the main thing is to correctly measure the growth that our magician has.
The costume that we described above is selected in black, the cape, respectively, too. But a combination with red is allowed if the suit has parts of this color. It can be a vest, a butterfly or a handkerchief that sticks out of a jacket pocket.
Atlas is better suited for sewing wraps; this material does not crease and looks spectacular. If you decide to use two colors, then make the inside red and the outside black.
Our cape will be fixed using braid or ribbons that are sewn to the neck. The cape looks perfect, which reaches the knees in length. Therefore, we focused on measuring growth.
You can choose a fabric with a pattern for the cape, it can be stars or polka dots. Due to this unusual color, you get a non-standard and bright magician, whose costume can be made of the same material.
Headdress
Well, we have come to an end, our image is almost ready. One of the main attributes is missing. No child magician costume can do without a cylinder. This headdress plays an important role in the image, because it is from it that magicians get a hare and show a lot of interesting things.
The cylinder can be purchased ready-made or made independently. It will be great if you sew a cloak and a cylinder of the same material.
In order to make a magician’s headdress, we need ordinary cardboard, glue, black cloth and a thread with a needle. To begin with, we cut out the frame from cardboard, it consists of two parts: the side and the cylinder itself.
Using a compass, draw a circle, and in it another smaller one that needs to be cut. We got a board of a hat, now we pass to the cylinder. To do this, cut out the rectangle of the required height from the cardboard, and measure the length by the diameter of the side. We glue the resulting cylinder and attach it to the board with glue. It remains to stick a circle of cardboard on the top of the cylinder, and the frame is ready.
Now we turn to the main part, we trim the cardboard blank with a cloth. To do this, you can use a stapler or thread with a needle. That's how we got a cylinder that a magician wears. The costume is considered ready, but if you want, you can add it with unusual attributes.
Additional Attributes
Well, what a magician does not have a magic wand in his arsenal? It is her that we propose to choose as a complement to the image. You can make it yourself from wood or plastic, painted in black, and the tip - in gold.
If you decide to sew a New Year's costume for a magician for a boy, then you can decorate it with tinsel, which is sewn onto a cylinder or cape.
As an addition to the costume, you can use the image of a white hare. It is sewn onto the pocket of a vest or jacket. Or you can use a soft toy hare.
