New Year's holidays for children of different ages are the most fun and interesting. This is largely due to the relaxed, joyful atmosphere of the celebrations, the expectation of a miracle, a fairy tale, a variety of carnival costumes.
Points for and against"
On the eve of school or kindergarten matinees, parents have a question about whether to make New Year's costumes for children with their own hands or to buy ready-made ones. Both options have their pros and cons, let's figure them out!
What are the cons arguments:
- Usually, sewing and other needlework are done in the family of mothers or grandmothers. If they are busy at work, they feel bad, then, of course, they are clearly not up to the workshops. And then you have to go to shops or order an outfit from a dressmaker.
- To make New Year's costumes for children with their own hands, you need to be able to easily sew. In the absence of such skills, this option, alas, may not be considered.
- The presence of "auxiliary" material: fabrics, garments, accessories, jewelry. If nothing suitable is in the household and there is nowhere to buy, there is only one way out - buying a finished sample.
Now consider all the pros:
- If New Year's costumes are made for children with their own hands, then the child himself chooses which one he wants, what colors and style, for example, will be Vasilisa’s outfit for your daughter or clown, a pirate for your son. The suit can be tailored exactly to the figure, and not be content with a standard, standard sample. And then in it the child will be really clever, convenient, comfortable, pleasant. But for the sake of the positive emotions of their offspring, parents are engaged in such needlework!
- By inventing and creating New Year's costumes for children with your own hands, you can connect them to the creative process, of course, given the age. After all, how interesting it is to draw sketches together, think through details, buy the necessary decorative elements! The whole process will bring you together great, make you like-minded people. And this is so important, given that the New Year is a family holiday!
- And finally, if you come to a creative approach to the question of how to make New Year's costumes with your own hands for children, you can get a gorgeous result with a minimum of costs. In the end, you can buy some details of the outfit, for example, a crown or a mask. The essence of this will not change, because most of the costume will still be made by you!
What can be offered?
Suppose you decide to enroll in a sewing master yourself. All that remains is a minimum: choose exactly which New Year's carnival costumes for children with your own hands you have to make. Of course, here you should rely primarily on the views and desires of the child. If he finds it difficult, come to the rescue. Do you have a daughter of an older preschool or primary, middle school age (this is when the relevant events are held with the children!)? Wonderful! Snow Maidens, snowflakes, Snow Queen and Queen of the Night, Princess, Vasilisa, Malvina, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood and other inhabitants of Russian folk and foreign fairy tales will serve you as wonderful examples. And most of the necessities - elegant dresses, slippers, aprons, as well as accessories - hairpins, hats, etc. are sure to be in every girl’s wardrobe. And you just need to sew some jewelry on the outfit in the form of beads, Christmas tree rain, multi-colored shiny confetti, make your hair more beautiful - and your young lady is ready to shine at the New Year's ball! But do you have a son? Perfectly! A bear, a wolf, a hare, a pirate and a clown, a good magician and a musketeer, a soldier, a pilot, a hero - it is quite realistic to depict each image in a suit, again, relying on existing things and adding only something necessary as accessories. And let your child receive a sea of pleasure and compliments during the holiday!
