In some cases, you need to take care of the production of a beard, cap, hat, crown, weapon, glasses, blindfolds, trumpets for over the knee boots and other details of the suit.
For example, to make a New Year's costume for a boy who decides to be a king at a masquerade, you will need elegant pants and a blouse, a crown and a mantle. Actually, you will additionally need to make a crown. It is easy to cut and glue it from paper, decorating it with Christmas toys, foil, glass buttons and beads or rhinestones.
Making a cloak is also quite simple. A rectangular piece of fabric on top is collected on the drawstring and tied under the chin. Sometimes a high stand-up collar is required.
Cardboard knight costume
You can make a carnival outfit from almost everything at hand. For example, having disassembled cardboard boxes, it is easy to make knightly armor from them, fixing the details with tape. The sword and shield can also be made of cardboard. But it may well happen that there is a baby in the family who has toy weapons.
To make the costume look more believable, it is recommended to glue it on top with silver paper and decorate accordingly (for example, apply heraldic patterns, paint a shield, etc.)
Carnival outfit from the category "representatives of the flora"
Taking vegetables, fruits or berries as a prototype, you can make very beautiful New Year's costumes for boys. It can be Tomato, Cucumber, Radish, Peas, Banana, Pineapple, Strawberry, Peach, Mushroom and others.
Even the most inexperienced dressmaker will be able to sew a New Year's costume for a boy who will portray Peach or Strawberry. To create volume, the outfit itself is made in the shape of a ball. It is very simple to draw patterns of New Year's costumes for a boy from the category "vegetables, fruits, berries". This is a rectangle, one side of which is equal to the circumference at the waist level, and the other to height.
Having cut the desired shape in size, the fabric is sewn, folded face inward so that a "tube" is obtained. You can make several darts on the top and bottom of this part. Then both edges are hemmed, making drawstring into which the laces are inserted.
In order for the roundness not to lose shape, you can put a synthetic winterizer, foam rubber or inflated balloons inside. Some masters prefer to quilted in advance the fabric from which the suit is sewn, with a synthetic winterizer or coat coat. Then put inside the filler is optional.
Additionally, it will be necessary to make hats or hoods for some outfits. Other costumes can be decorated with green collars that will imitate the sepals of berries.
Open carnival outfit from the category of "representative of the fauna"
To get a carnival outfit of high quality and comfortable to wear, you can sew a New Year's costume for a boy in the form of overalls. This option is suitable for any mammal, be it Deer, Elephant, Bear, Tiger, Rooster, Dinosaur or even a flying Dragon. Overalls differ only in color and in the presence of some details: bone protrusions of dinosaurs and dragons, horns, wings, trunk and crest.
To make a New Year's costume for a boy with your own hands, patterns of overalls details are simply necessary. They should be transferred to paper, cut with scissors and laid out on fabric. The product will require four such parts. Moreover, two of them should be cut by attaching the template with one side to the fabric, and the other two are cut asymmetric, since previously the matter is folded in half face inward.
It should also be noted that the zipper will be located on the back, so two asymmetric parts must be cut with this in mind and a special allowance should be provided. The front halves are cut along the line, which in the drawing is signed as "middle of the front."
Tailoring of overalls for an animal costume
Parts are first stitched in pairs face to face so that two halves of the product with one sleeve and one leg are obtained. Then the front seam is made out, the edges of the sleeves and trousers are cut, having made drawstrings in them for assembly, they are treated with a neckline. Lastly, a zipper is sewn into the jumpsuit.
In order to make a truly beautiful New Year's costume for the boy with your own hands, you need to sew or glue the mask of the animal. You can take the path of least resistance and get rid of the banal half mask. There is an option to perform a volume mask from papier-mรขchรฉ. Some craftswomen choose to sew hats or a hood with ears sewn to the crown with fabric horns stuffed with filler and a patch in the muzzle area, into which a synthetic winterizer or foam rubber is also placed. Eyes and a nose pipette are made from large beads or buttons.
Carnival outfit from the category of "fairy creatures"
These are, for example, New Year's snowman costumes for boys. There are several options for creating this outfit.
The easiest way is to pick up white pants and build the upper part of the outfit from the white coat of the paramedic, cutting off the lower half. The lower edge of the blueson obtained after shortening is cut so that a lace can be inserted into the hem. Large black buttons, a striped bright hat and a scarf complete the image of a snowman.
Custom Made Snowman Outfit
It lives well for those who can sew. Indeed, with the help of scissors and a needle, craftsmen can easily create professional New Year's snowman costumes for boys from white fabric.
For example, according to the algorithm for manufacturing spherical outfits for fruits and berries, two or three parts of different sizes can be made. The ball that has the largest diameter is placed down. A second, slightly smaller size is sewn to its upper part. The smallest should be on top. A bucket glued from cardboard is put on the childโs head, a scarf is tied around his neck.
In the form of overalls, you can also sew a New Year's costume (for a boy) with your own hands. The patterns for him will suit the same ones that are offered as patterns when sewing animal costumes. The manufacturing algorithm is also no different from the one described above.
Carnival costume from the Inanimate Objects series

Making a costume Books is easy. You just need to make a giant cardboard cover, colorfully designate the name of the print publication, the name of the author, and place some pictures. This cover is attached to the front.
The teapot costume must be sewn according to the principle of fruit dress. You should get a ball of bright red fabric, such as polka dots. A beret of identical color with a large eyelet can flaunt on the character's head. On one side you can sew a handle made of white fabric, and on the other - a teapot spout. Both the pen and the nose are best filled with filler tightly.
