A variety of carnival costumes come in handy to parents quite often, especially at New Year's parties in the kindergarten. These are snowflakes, bears with bunnies, and wolves with gnomes. And yet one of the cutest and most frequently used is the frog costume. How to make the baby the most charming and beautiful at the holiday?
What do you need
First of all, the frog carnival costume, like any other, should be convenient for the child, comfortable, not restricting movement. Then the child will be well and fun. The main thing in clothes is, of course, green color (individual parts may be white), as well as a hat with eyes. And, of course, you need to consider the features of the costume, depending on who it is sewn for, for a boy or girl.
Option for a boy
So how to make a frog costume for a boy? Take green tights, shorts or pants, a green or white shirt (or a turtleneck, too, will do), you can add a green coat (sew it yourself is not difficult). Green beads or sequins will serve as decorations. You will need green gloves on the pens, sew them from the fabric, adding membranes between the fingers. Shoes may be green slippers or flip flops trimmed with fabric. Of course, you need a mask. It is done simply: take a green beret and wash frog eyes on it from foil and velvet paper, you can use a hat with the same eyes. It is best to sew a green satin ribbon on the headpiece, which will be tied on the baby's chin.
Option for girls
The frog costume in this case will be slightly different. You will need a dress or sarafan (green beads, sequins, stripes of satin or velvet paper are sewn onto it), green (white) tights, gloves (you can, by the way, cut off your fingers from ready-made ones and sew membranes), a hat (beret) with eyes or a kokoshnik . If this is not just an amphibian costume, but the appearance of a frog princess, then a crown is also needed. It can be made of paper, foil, crocheted or made from beads. Then there is someone in what much. The frog costume for the girl, in principle, does not require a raincoat, but if you want, you can sew it. If there is no ready-made white or green dress, then it’s okay, any mom can sew the simplest model on a baby. Here you will need a green cloth. To make the dress magnificent, it is better to sew another green fabric or mesh under the main skirt. Clothes are decorated with the same satin ribbons and beads. If there are no ready-made green gloves, then they can be easily sewn, just remember to insert an elastic band to keep them on the handles. In the case of the Frog Princess, you can make not a cloak, but a veil of green chiffon, sewing it on the crown or kokoshnik.
Conclusion
So, the frog costume is quite simple, it takes a little time. Of course, the process will be longer and more difficult if you sew individual parts of it yourself. But so there is more opportunity to show imagination and create exactly what the child will like. Shades of emerald should prevail, of course, it is possible to use white (shirt, pantyhose). In this outfit, the baby will definitely be the cutest.
