Children's matinee is not only a holiday for the baby, but also chores for parents. Of course they are enjoyable. Naturally, a child can get a role for which a special costume is needed, for example, a vegetable or an insect. If there is no necessary outfit at the box office or in stores, then you can do it yourself. For example, it is not difficult to sew a bee costume with your own hands, you just need to select the necessary material in yellow and black colors, and also build a structure for the wings.
It should be noted that you can sew individual outfits for boys and girls, and you can build a universal kit that can be worn by both of them. So, in order to design
a bee costume with your own hands, it is not at all necessary to acquire a large amount of fabric. You can simply use black golf and trousers (a skirt for the girl). This combination is the most practical for the child.
Next, it will be necessary to decorate the selected clothes with yellow stripes, which should be located horizontally. In principle, a do-it-yourself bee costume is made very quickly. After sewing on the yellow stripes, he is almost ready. You can fix the material using a sewing machine or manually. In the second case, it is necessary to ensure that the seam is as neat as possible. For stripes, a satin ribbon is usually used.
If you want your handmade bee costume to be more original, you can make it from scratch. To date, sewing manuals have many patterns of New Year's costumes that you can use to create your masterpiece.
Now we need to move on to the manufacture of wings and antennae. This stage is the most difficult. Before making a bee costume, try to make thick wire, yellow pompons and fabric. For the antennae, you can use the usual hair hoop with wire (such products are often sold at New Year's fairs). Pompons will need to be attached to it.
As for the wings, then you have to work hard. From the rough wire you need to build a structure for the wings. For this, the material needs to be bent into a certain shape (drops). The ends must be firmly twisted. Since the bee has 2 pairs of wings, you will have to make 4 such elements. Moreover, two of them should be slightly larger than the rest. Now we build a wing from the received elements and we fit it with fabric. Naturally, it is necessary to provide fasteners with which the design will be
keep on the suit. In principle, ordinary ribbons can be attached to the wings, with the help of which they can be attached to the child. Instead of fabric on the frame, you can pull on bodily female dimensionless tights. Here you also need to observe safety measures for the baby so that the ends of the wire do not harm him. To do this, wrap them well with electrical tape and thread.
As you can see, it’s not difficult to make a New Year’s costume for a bee with your own hands. You just need to be patient and imagine the finished result and the joy of your child. Good luck
