Parsley is a favorite hero of booth fair performances. A cheerful, sharp-tongued buffoon who is not afraid to ridicule either law enforcement officers, or royal boyars, or the Tsar-priest himself. The doll Petrushka was necessarily in Russia in every wandering theater, and the genre scenes played with her participation invariably gathered crowds of peasants and townspeople in any locality. The appearance of the toy is easily recognizable, and your child in this image at the New Year's party will have undeniable success!
Parts and equipment
The costume of Parsley must necessarily meet two requirements: the brightness of the design and the preservation of Russian folk color. We emphasize: this is precisely the Russian folk hero. Unknown authors from the people and then professional writers created their plays about him, his leprosy.
The outfit consists of a cap, a shirt with a sash belt, wide trousers and boots. Make it easy from improvised means, having additionally some accessories.
Hat cap
Parsley suit can be with a single cap, or with a two-horn. The first is made of flexible cardboard and painted to match the clothes. Or it is covered with fabric, and multi-colored circles, shreds, etc. are glued onto it. Be sure to decorate the confetti hat! After all, this is an outfit for the holiday! The cone of the cap ends with a bell (you can buy a small sample in the gift shop) or a pompom-bell - it is easy to make it from a piece of fabric and cotton wool. You can diversify the costume of Parsley, giving it a fabulous shade, and instead of a pompom, make a brush from a sparkling Christmas tree "rain" or tinsel.
A two-arm hat is a little more difficult to make - you need to sew a hat from two caps. The material is worth taking multi-colored. Decorate as the first option. In order for the "horns" to retain their shape, they need to fill a little cotton wool or foam.
Top of the outfit
The costume includes a shirt in the manner of the Russian Kosovorotka. The color should be bright, catchy: scarlet, orange, sunny yellow. It’s easy to sew such a thing! Yes, you need to take the material “with low tide”: silk, satin, satin. If you don’t know how to sew, and there’s no one to address, we get out of the situation like this: an ordinary plain t-shirt (only two or more sizes needed) is taken At the gate it must be pulled together with a cord or elastic band (so that there is no wide neck). Glue the bottom of the sleeves with a decorative shiny ribbon from the ones used to decorate the bouquets. Next, Petrushka’s costume is decorated with sewn circles of colorful patches. with the rest of the decor, magical transforms a T-shirt in a way. And turn it over too with a shiny ribbon.
The lower part of the outfit
Children's costume Parsley involves pants of a special style - wide, tucked in boots, made of two contrasting colors: yellow and blue, green and red, etc.
Colored patches are also sewn on the pants (the more cheerful the color scheme, the more successful the carnival costume will turn out).
Belt
An accessory such as a belt is very important for an outfit. Firstly, he successfully complements the costume, emphasizes ethnic motives in it. Secondly, it helps to hide the excessively large size of the “shirt”. The carnival belt is sewn just like the usual one, only decorate the ends like a hat - pompons, bells, tassels (so that the accessories harmonize and give the image completeness).
Footwear
Any boots will do. At will, they can also be decorated.
