How to sew the costume of Koshchei the Immortal with your own hands?

When there is a choice of carnival costume, people are divided into those who prefer positive characters, and on the contrary, negative. In this article we decided to consider how to make the costume of Koshchei the Immortal with our own hands. But let's talk about everything in order.

The villain of Russian fairy tales

There is hardly anyone who does not know who Koschey is Immortal. In children's tales, this character plays one of the main roles. Koshchei personifies the evil king, who has magical abilities. In one of the Russian fairy tales, Koschey, having drunk three buckets of water, tore the chains, which he was chained to a tree. But the most surprising thing is how you can kill this villain. The death of Koshchei will come if you break the needle that is in the egg, and it is in the duck. A duck in a hare, a hare in a trunk, a chest under an oak tree that grows on an island in the middle of the ocean. As we see, Koschey was a serious enemy, and few people dared to fight him.

Parts of the image

Ready-made costumes can be purchased at the store, but if you prefer to do needlework, we will tell you how to make a costume of Koshchei Immortal with your own hands. Here are the basic details of the costume, which will help create a complete image:

• Costume or basic clothing;
• Cloak or cape;
• crown;
• Boots;
• Additional attributes.

The first three details in the list are mandatory when creating the costume of Koshchei. And now let's proceed to the direct manufacture of each of the parts of the costume.

Costume

Koshchei the Immortal looks like a skeleton, that's why we need to create the effect of bones. This can be done in two different ways, each of which is now considered.

First we need to prepare a black set of clothes, pants and a jacket. You can use ready-made clothes or sew yourself from a black cloth. Suit even a coveralls, the main thing - to use cotton or knitted fabric.

After that we need to sew the bones on the costume of Koshchei the Immortal. With your own hands a template of bones can be made with the help of cardboard. Each bone, cut from cardboard, wrapped in foil and fastened throughout the suit with glue.

You can choose another option, which is shown in the figure, and use this template.

A stencil is cut from the paper, and afterwards, using paints, we paint the bones. For this option, you need a special paint for clothes. The painted bones using phosphorus dye are very effective. In the dark, such a suit will glow.

Cloak

Now we turn to the question of how to sew a cloak that will complement the costume of Koshchei the Immortal (with his own hands). Pattern one of the versions of the cloak is depicted in the following figure.

As you can see, nothing is difficult in the design of the raincoat, you just need to take measurements correctly. The material from which the cloak will be sewn is chosen in black. It is desirable that the suit and the cape are made of the same material. But if this is not possible, then the cape from satin looks good.

The hem of the cloak can be processed, but it is not necessary - the bottom of the cloak can be torn. To fix such a cloak will be using a rubber band or braid, which must be sewn to the cloak with a machine or manually.

Crown

The crown must certainly complement the costume of Koshchei the Immortal, with his own hands to make that it will not be difficult. You can use a finished crown, if one exists. If not, we will now tell you how to do it yourself.

To do this, thick cardboard is used, which is used to package the goods. From it we cut out a strip with denticles according to the size of the head. We chose a black color in order to sew the costume of Koshchei the Immortal with our own hands. The crown pattern, which is depicted in the figure, does not have a color, so it must be painted. Choose a better gold or silver color. The paint from the can is the best choice, because with its help you can completely paint over the crown. After painting the strip with denticles is connected by a stapler.

But you can choose another option for painting the crown, which will complement the costume of Koshchei the Immortal. You can decorate the cardboard crown with your own hands, using foil. We have got a beautiful shiny crown, which is recommended to decorate with rhinestones or one voluminous stone.

Addition

If you decided to sew a New Year's costume (Koschey Immortal) with your own hands, we recommend decorating it with tinsel. The headpiece can be enamelled with foam to create a snow effect.

Of shoes, it is better to choose boots, but if this is not possible, fit black shoes or sneakers, which, of course, can also be decorated if desired.

If you want to make an original costume of Koshchei Immortal with your own hands, then you can use the following tips. You can make an egg, where, according to the stories of fairy tales, there is a needle with which you can kill a cat. Cut the egg should be made of polystyrene or made according to the papier-mache technique. And, of course, paint with any color you like.

In fairy tales koschei acts as a villain and a robber, who always has a saber with him. That's it we recommend to choose as an additional attribute. On the open sale there are ready plastic sabers, but you can make it yourself. For this, brown cardboard is suitable, which should be dyed in silver, and we recommend using a darker shade. The main thing is to observe the proportional ratio of the saber and the height of the person.

It would be superfluous to use black gloves made of thin material to complete the image.
