When the New Year or another holiday is approaching, when the children love
to change clothes, all of us parents are thinking about a carnival costume for our kids. Of course, today in stores a huge selection of clothes for such cases is presented. However, it will be much more interesting and exciting to make the costume yourself with the help of a child.
Offer the baby to become a magic gnome during the holiday, he is unlikely to refuse! Moreover, it is not difficult to put such an idea into practice.
To begin with, we will figure out what constituent parts a children's gnome costume should consist of. Usually these fairy-tale characters are depicted dressed in short pants, a vest, a cap, and knee-high socks. In addition, you should wear any shirt on the run. I think this item is in the wardrobe of every boy. But the rest of the elements will have to work hard.
First, make panties. Take a peek into your boy’s closet. Surely there will be old pants that will be ideal for making a gnome costume. The main thing is that they have a comfortable sitting top, do not constrain movements. First of all, shorten the pants to a length slightly lower
the knee. We measure the circumference of the children's leg at the end of the trouser leg, add a couple of centimeters and cut out the cuffs of the resulting length, sew on.
Getting to sewing vests. If the pants, shortened at the previous stage, are wide enough, then you can cut out the upper part of the suit from the cut rags. Otherwise, you have to choose the right fabric. It is even easier to make a vest from an old jacket or sweatshirt. When cutting, keep in mind that this element of the suit should be quite short. Edges can be processed with an oblique inlay. The vest included in the carnival costume of the gnome does not fasten, but you can sew the strings with pompons on the bottom. To make them, cut out a circle, sweep along the edge, put in a synthetic winterizer and tighten it. By the way, the same pompom will come in handy on the cap.
The gnome's headgear and knee-highs can be sewn from any knitwear in two colors. Can
Take your old mom’s dress or dad’s tight T-shirt. The cap is cut in the form of a triangle, sewn on two sides. Cuffs made of contrasting fabric are sewn along the bottom. You can also attach artificial curls to it. We fix the pompom on the tip of the cap.
Without golf, the gnome's costume would be incomplete. For their manufacture, we cut strips of contrasting colors. It is desirable that they be the same width. We span them, alternating. We measure the girth of your child’s legs in several places and we put together our knee-high socks so that they can be easily put on, but so that they do not hang out. If the fabric is sufficiently elastic, you will surely achieve this.
To make the image more effective, it is advisable to supplement the gnome's costume with a belt with a buckle. These accessories can decorate the baby’s shoes. In addition, it would be nice to hand in the hands of a newly made dwarf a wand with a bundle. For the manufacture of this props, any branch is taken, it is carefully skinned in order to avoid possible splintering. A knot is sewn from any flap into a small pattern and is stuffed with foam rubber or newspapers.
The final touch - we take red lipstick, draw cheeks and nose. Well, you can admire the fruit of your efforts, the gnome costume is ready!
