Every girl wants to be the most beautiful and unique at any holiday - whether it's a matinee in your favorite kindergarten, a home theme party or a fun costume contest. And if, as a rule, outfits of princesses, fairies, bunnies, tiger cubs or squirrels can be bought or rented in almost any store or salon, then most mothers want their daughters to wear costumes for the holidays that are very difficult to find and even surely none of the neighboring girls will have it. These include the fly-Tsokotuhi costume.
Actions in brief
So what is needed to ensure that your child is strikingly different on the holiday from others? The Tsokotuha-Fly costume for a girl can include the following items of toilet: a yellow blouse, a beret sewn from black velvet and a skirt. On the beret will need to attach a small antennae. They can be cut from the same material or neatly twisted from black wire.
And how to make big wings for our fly? It is quite possible to cut them out of a white net, let a thin wire that gives shape to the edges of each. Each wing can be decorated with the same black velvet to make it look like a real insect.
We must remember about the accessory that this fabulous Fly, familiar to everyone since childhood, has a big “money” like a plate. To prepare such a props will not be difficult: a circle is cut out of ordinary cardboard. Then you can either paint it with yellow paint or glue it with gold foil. And do not forget about the inscription "1 penny" (all strictly in accordance with the fabulous act).
Dress for our front sight
Now let's try to sort it all out point by point. It is clear that no matter how beautiful the costume of the Fly-Tsokotuha may turn out, except for children’s holidays, dressing up in it will no longer work. Unless to wear a skirt and a vest (if this is foreseen according to plan). After all, they can be made of silk or satin fabric of piercing yellow or golden color, possibly with the addition of tulle or some similar material.
In the case when the mother is not a very skilled needlewoman, you can use the finished parts of the toilet. As a basis, take a turtleneck that is suitable in color, or a yellow blouse. Or wear a gymnastic leotard with a long sleeve, sewn from stretch fabric. You just need to delve into the “grandmother’s chest”, that is, on the shelves in the chiffonier, where there are usually dresses that have not been used for a long time, and find those things that can be used as the basis for the Flies dress.
Skirt
Skirts or dresses that are suitable in color are also useful. If the skirt or dress is green, blue or yellow, then they can be used for a suit by sewing the skirt on a swimsuit. The bolero vest will be beautifully combined with these things. It can be sewn from yellow (golden) stretch satin or dense silk fabric.
If mom needs to urgently prepare the black costume worn by the fabulous Fly, and the parent is not at all friends with a needle and thread, she will be rescued by a skirt with a funny name - tu-tu. For its manufacture you will need only an elastic band (satin ribbon) and tulle.
From tulle, it is necessary to cut several strips of the same width twice as long as the skirt length. Now, in turn, it is required to take strips and tie them around the elastic (tape), slightly departing from the edge. The loops of each tape must be tightened properly. Do this until the entire gum (or tape, which is less convenient), the length of which should be equal to the waist, is filled. After that, lay out a homemade skirt on the table and cut off all the bumps. If you use tulle of two colors for this outfit, then the costume skirt will be even more beautiful.
What should be the wings?
The Tsokotuha-Fly costume cannot be imagined without beautiful wings. Indeed, the fairy-tale heroine certainly has them. Therefore, to begin with, we need to think about what this element of the outfit will be made of. And you can do it in several ways.
For example, using a wire more robustly, prepare a frame that will resemble two wings. It is covered with a thin transparent fabric. Using a slanting inlay, you need to sew the edge manually. It’s easy to do. On fabric already fixed, you need to draw thin veins, applying a contour with shine. If you want black suit with wings looked more festive, you can sew sequins on the edge of the wings. If it is assumed that the girl will wear the wings of the costume as a backpack, you can sew rubber on them. It will be much more convenient for her.
Another option is this. It is required to sew a not very long cloak with a hood, which will be gathered at the neck. Material - organza or black tulle. From the back, it needs to be cut so that neat wings are obtained. The edges can not be processed, you can just walk the entire diameter of the fire from the lighter.
The same wings can also be sewn from satin, choosing the color suitable for the occasion. A contrasting shiny lining will also work.
Mushkina hat
If at home there is a little black hat, that the costume of the Fly-Tsokotuha will be perfectly complemented by it. If not, then this element of the wardrobe can be sewn from some old blouse or t-shirt.
Cut it out easily - in a semicircle, slightly elongated from the outside in the center. Eyes fly can be made of two pieces of satin, cut out in the form of circles. Sew them on a hat, having previously placed a synthetic winterizer or foam rubber under the bottom. The work is over. The eyes of the Flies are ready. The nose is made from a cord - its end is hidden in a ball that is sewn from satin - like the eyes, and also filled with the same padding polyester.
Mushkina coin
When the costume is ready, there is only one thing left - to make a coin for Mukha-Tsokotuha, which, according to the tale, she found while walking around the field. Foil will come to the rescue - thicker and gilder. It is from it that you want to cut two circles with a diameter of a saucer. The inscription "1 kopek" should be struck from the inside, and moreover, it should be mirrored. Glue the finished mugs on a cardboard circle. The coin is ready.
Now the fabulous Fly is fully equipped to go to a ball or a fun children's party.
