Fancy dresses for children, for example, the “Hare”, “Princess” outfit or the “Butterfly” costume, strangely enough, usually cost a lot, despite the fact that there are very few materials on them, and the quality often leaves much to be desired. In addition, parents are very upset by the fact that the child will wear an outfit, usually for a maximum of one or two holidays, and then he will gather dust in the chest for years. The solution, however, is to do it yourself. Today we sew the Butterfly costume. A child in such an outfit will be not only beautiful and happy, but also the most noticeable at the holiday, where most children dress with snowflakes, bears, bunnies and princesses.
What is required for work
Everything is very, very simple. You will need an ordinary dress in bright colors (or just light and pleasant), black tights, dark shoes - shoes or even Czech shoes. Well, it will only be necessary to make antennae and wings from wire, transparent or translucent fabric, beads, rhinestones, satin ribbons. Threads and needles are also useful.
Wings are the central and key element of the whole image.
So how to make a butterfly costume? Of course, you need to start with the wings. There are several options here. You can just cut them out of colored cardboard, but such wings will last up to the middle of the celebration. A little better would be jewelry glued from several of its layers. The third option is to cut out the rigid base and cover it with fabric, decorating with tinsel and sparkles. But the Butterfly costume will look much better with wings made of wire frame, on which you need to stretch a translucent fabric (nylon, tulle or organza will do). On its surface, you can easily embroider or simply draw beautiful symmetrical spots, rings, dots, curls and patterns, taking as an example some beautiful butterfly. The main thing is that the color scheme coincides with the chosen dress, otherwise the outfit will not look the best way. We glue the finished wings around the edges or sheathe tinsel, rhinestones or ribbons and attach to the back of the dress. In principle, you can embroider a pattern not with threads, but with shiny beads, it will look amazing.
The antennae of our beauty
"Butterfly" - a carnival costume that can not do without a mustache. They are made very simply, you only need fabric and wire. First, from the wire we make a ring with a diameter equal to the baby’s head and attach to it antennae made of the same material, having thickenings at the ends. Another option is to take a simple strong bezel and wind the antennae to it. Now we wash everything with tape and fasten with the help of threads. In principle, instead of fabric, the use of foil is allowed (but better not).
Assembly
The Butterfly costume is ready. We put on the chosen dress, which along the hem can also be decorated with tinsel (if the child goes to the New Year's party), we put on a mustache, weave, we straighten our wings and fly to celebrate. By the way, a dress at the waist can be decorated with a belt woven from satin ribbons or with the same tinsel. The child will look bright, elegant, he himself will like to flutter in such a suit. A good mood baby provides happiness to parents.
