Suit "Cloud" or "Cloud" - heaven on holiday

Masquerade clothes are often made by themselves, supplementing the standard images with unusual details. Sometimes this is the main joy of the outfit - the opportunity to feel yourself a creator.

It's not difficult to make a cloud suit with your own hands, but you must first determine the image and materials. The cloud dress can be made in several variants.

Bulk bulk, sinteponovaya

This outfit looks like a real cloud with its outlines. Produce it as follows:

1. Of any fabric of blue or gray, a simple shirt with a wide neck and sleeves is sewed up to the middle of the forearms.

2. Strips of different widths are cut from thick sintepon. Each is twisted into a tight but not too tight roller, the ends of which are joined and sewn to the shirt in this form. Synteponovye details should have the different size and settle down asymmetrically, creating effect of "natural chaos".

The value also has the color of a sintepon. In the stores of textile goods you can find snow-white or gray material. The corresponding color will be a cloud. And to create a "storm cloud" sintepon can be dyed, soaked in water with ordinary ink or gouache.

All other details of the costume (shoes, pants or tights) can be quite ordinary, but the color of the sky - white, gray or blue. As a headdress, a wide bezel with a pattern of clouds is used.

Carnival dress

Suit "Cloud" in the form of a cape can be made within a few hours. For this purpose, a "sun" or "half-sun" is cut from the fabric of a suitable color. The edges are sewn, a lace or a buckle is sewn into the neck. The cape falls beautifully folded, but to let others know that it is a cloud suit, it is necessary to decorate it with appliqués. As a decor, a stylized image of a cloud, a snowflake, a water drop can be used. The pattern is cut from the fabric and attached to the cloak using an adhesive web.

The headpiece in this costume looks like a hoop with a small voluminous cloud. The last is done as follows:

• From the synthepone cut 2 "clouds", which are stitched along the edge and are turned out.
• The part is sewn along the contour, having deviated from the edge by 1-2 cm.
• The cloud is painted with gouache or diluted ink and attached to the rim.

Suit "Cloud" can be complicated if you take the bottom edge of the cape, forming large folds. The resulting hoodie-type "tulip" looks more interesting than just a raincoat with drops.

Cloud in a pack

An outfit option that can be made on the basis of a regular dress or skirt, along with a white or gray T-shirt. A white or gray tulle is sewn with the most sumptuous skirt that turns clothes into a ballet tutu.

Suit "Cloud in a pack" except for a headdress with an overlay in the form of a cloud can be decorated as follows:

• Plastic beads or beads are threaded on long (40-50 cm) yarns, the ends of which are sewn to the belt.
• To imitate the rain drops did not get tangled, they are attached to the transverse thread at 10-15 cm from the waist.
• The ends of the threads hanging from the lush skirt ends with larger beads or cut out from the cardboard "drops."

By imitation of rain, you can decorate other parts of the costume, including shoes and headgear, as well as hair and hands.

Suit of a cloud with a hat

A model that requires more time and skills in needlework. The main "highlight" of the outfit is a hat turned into a cloud and the more her field, the better.

As a basis for creating a "cloud-hat" can be used any similar headdress and even with the margins. Make a cloud by the following rules:

• The lower part should be smooth and therefore pasted first with paper, and then with a cloth of white, gray or blue.
• The top of the hat is covered with waves of medical cotton (white or gray), completely hiding the difference in height between the fields and the crown. As an adhesive, you can use the glue "Moment" or PVA.
• The edge of the fields is decorated with transparent beads, imitating raindrops.

In this version, the costume of a cloud on an adult will be very attractive. With your own hands only a hat is made. Another part of the costume is a white, gray or other "heavenly" flower dress and shoes in tone. Threads of "rain" can be made longer or let them on clothes, appropriating the nickname "Lord of the clouds."

Decorative elements for a costume

New Year parties and costumed evenings often turn into a show where someone's skills for needlework are demonstrated. Many supplement the usual costume "Cloud" with original decor or masterly use improvised materials. Among the curious pridumok can be given the following:

• A voluminous cloud on a hat made of white air balloons. They are collected in a blank with the help of an adhesive tape, covered with a lot of PVA glue, on top of which usual toilet paper is applied. After drying, the "cloud" is covered with pieces of medical cotton wool.
• A large number of half-beads of any shape for decorating a suit can be obtained with the help of an adhesive gun. The cooled figures are covered with nail polish of any convenient color.
• Umbrella in the form of a cloud. Medical cotton wool is glued to the dome, then it is adorned with stars, rainbows and beads.

Adult or children's costume of a cloud can have any kind. Human fantasy is inexhaustible and often the form and decor of the dress changes during the manufacturing process in order to better match the person, his age, the type of figure, mood and understanding of the holiday.
