Costume dwarf: do it with the baby!

When the New Year approaches or another holiday, when children love Change clothes, we all, parents, think about the carnival costume for our kids. Of course, today in stores a huge selection of clothes for such cases is presented. However, it will be much more interesting and exciting to make a costume yourself with the help of a child.

Invite your child to become a magical gnome during the holiday, he will hardly refuse! Moreover, it is not difficult to implement such an idea.

First of all, let's figure out what components the gnome children's costume should consist of. Usually these fairy-tale characters are depicted dressed in short pants, a vest, a cap, golfs. In addition, any shirt should be worn out. I think this item is in the wardrobe of every boy. But the rest of the elements will have to work.

First we'll make panties. Look in your boy's closet. Surely there will be old trousers, which will be an ideal option for making a costume gnome. The main thing is for them to sit comfortably at the top, do not hamper the movements. First of all, we shorten the pants to a length slightly lower Of the knee. We measure the girth of the child's leg at the end of the pants, add a couple of centimeters and cut out the cuffs of the resulting length, sew.

We begin to sew a vest. If the pants, shortened in the previous stage - are wide enough, you can cut out the upper part of the costume from the cut pieces. Otherwise, you will have to choose the right fabric. It's even easier to make a vest from an old jacket or sweatshirts. When cutting, consider that this element of the costume should be quite short. The edges can be treated with an oblique bake. The waistcoat, which enters the carnival costume of gnomes, is not fastened, but it is possible to sew on the hem with pompoms. To make them, we cut out the circle, sweep along the edge, put the synthipon and pull it together. By the way, the same pompon is useful on the hood.

The gnome's headdress and knee-highs can be sewn from any jersey of two colors. Can Take an old mother's dress or a daddy T-shirt. The cap is in the form of a triangle, it is sewn with two sides. At the bottom, the cuff is sewn from the contrasting tissue. To it you can also attach artificial curls. At the tip of the cap we fix the pompon.

Without golf, the costume of gnomes will be incomplete. To make them, we cut bands of contrasting colors. It is desirable that they be of equal width. We spend them, alternating. We measure the girth of your child's leg in several places and spend the golfs so that they can be easily put on, but that they do not hang out. If the fabric is elastic enough, you will achieve this.

To make the image more effective, it is desirable to add a gnome suit with a belt with a buckle. Similar accessories can decorate baby's shoes. In addition, it would be nice to hand in the hands of a new gnome a stick with a nodule. To make this props, any branch is taken, carefully sanded to avoid possible splinters. A knot is sewn from any flap in a fine pattern and is filled with foam rubber or newspapers.

The final touch - we take red lipstick, we draw cheeks and nose. Well, you can admire the fruit of your efforts, the costume gnome is ready!
