With absolute certainty, we can say that at any costume party to be a Baba Yaga is much more interesting and more fun than a Snow Maiden, a princess or some other fabulous beauty. Baba Yaga, a costume for which, by the way, is not difficult to make, is completely unlimited in actions, and all her pranks and jokes will be forgiven to her. If you decide to choose this image for yourself for the next holiday, then our article will tell you how to make Baba Yaga costume yourself.
The basis for the costume
The costume of Baba Yaga can be made on the basis of some wardrobe items. First of all, we need a long skirt below the ankles. It is also necessary to choose a wide and long blouse or shirt of a dark color, which you put on out of the box. If you want the “granny” to look feminine, you can gird yourself with a fashionable beautiful belt.
If there are no suitable items of clothing in your wardrobe, you can sew the costume yourself. A suitable material measuring 1 by 1.5 meters is selected for the skirt, folded, sew a side seam, the elastic is sewn at the top, and the bottom of the skirt is cut into rags of different lengths. Sewing a sweater will be a little more difficult. For this, a suitable fabric must be folded four times so that the fold is on the left side. At the top, you need to make a smooth neck, and the lower right piece needs to be cut off around the circumference, while stepping back from the top about 20 cm, and from the bottom - about 25 cm. After this, the fabric must be deployed, cut the neck, sleeves and bottom by 3-5 cm, and stitch the sides on a typewriter. If you have an old unnecessary fur coat, then you can make a vest for your heroine out of it. You can also sew patches on top of it with thick woolen threads. Now the costume of Baba Yaga is almost ready.
Costume decoration
Pick up fabrics or unnecessary items of dark colors - green, brown or black. Of these, it is necessary to cut strips whose length is about 20 cm and a width of about 2 cm. Then the strips are folded in half and (as thick as possible) are sewn onto a skirt and blouse. From fabric of yellow or brown color you can cut leaves of trees, which will be an excellent decoration for the costume. They will look especially impressive if you use chiffon as the material. If you want your Baba Yaga to look like a real fashionista, then take care of the earrings and rings, as well as large multi-colored beads. By the way, you will have a large multi-colored scarf that will look great if it is obliquely tied over a skirt. Also take care of a suitable wig that should be combed and fixed with hairspray beforehand.
Makeup
However, the costume of Baba Yaga cannot be considered complete without a suitable make-up. If desired, a false nose can be bought in specialized stores. But the makeup of Baba Yaga can be done without it. It is enough to apply a dark foundation on the face and black wrinkles to draw wrinkles under the eyes and near the nose. Also, select eyebrows with a black pencil and paint your lips with red lipstick, this will help emphasize the feminine principle of your fairy Grandmother Yaga.
