We offer you two options for creating an outfit of this amphibian, and which of them will be most convenient to use - choose for yourself.
The main thing in this matter is a decisive mood, free time and a great desire to create an inimitable-beautiful carnival costume of a frog for her daughter so that she looks like a real fabulous princess on the New Year's matinee.

Method number 1

In this version of the costume, a magnificent skirt is supposed to be, to create which you will need to get:

green tulle;
wide elastic band;
satin green ribbon, the width of which should be about 3 cm.

Determine the length yourself. If you can withstand it up to 30 cm, then in this case the skirt will have similarity with a pack for a ballet diva. At a longer skirt, the edges will already hang somewhat, but remain lush. However, both in the first and in the second option, the skirt will look very spectacular.

From the purchased green tulle, cut the ribbons so that their length is twice as much as the finished skirt, while leaving 5 cm of allowances in each strip.
Their width should be about 15 cm. But first, take a schedule of your girl’s waist - so you will determine how long the belt should be, and how many tulle stripes will go to the manufacture of the skirt.
From the gum, make a kind of belt: by sewing its ends together, you get a circle corresponding to the volume of the waist of the child. For convenience, pull it on the back of the chair and tie it in a circle with chopped stripes.
To do this, it is necessary to fold the tape in half, the center will turn out like a loop from weightless fabric. Next, it will need to be brought up for an elastic band, and on top of the folded ends, but you do not need to tighten it very tightly. Continue to do this until all the stripes are tightly laid to each other.
It remains only for beauty to tie a satin green ribbon at the waist-and a skirt for the zavushka prison is ready!

fleece, which will go to the lining (55x45 cm);
synthetic winterizer - stuffing will be made from it;
plastic frog eyes and glue;
elastic band.

We sew a ramp for a frog:

Using our drawings, make the cutting of the material for the parts of the sleeveless jacket.

You purchased yellow matter for frog abdomen. In order for it to turn into this very abdomen, you will need to cut the oval out of it and sew on the front of the sleeveless jacket.
The front and the back are sewn on the sides, the seams are processed from the inside, and the bottom of the product is reduced by approximately 4 cm so that the gum can be inserted into this gap. See how simple everything is? Our armless frog is ready!

How to sew a hat for a frog suit:

Using our drawings, make the patterns of the parts of the beret from paper, and then transfer them to the cuts of tissues of two colors - green and yellow. In the first detail, it will be necessary to make cuts into which the eyes will subsequently be inserted.
After you cut yellow and green fabric (fur), they will need to be sewn into one. To do this, you need to fold these two parts with the front sides to each other and sew (can be stitched manually) along the edge of the cap. The lining is breaking based on the inner size of the headgear.
Next, you need to evenly lay a synthetic winterizer between the beret and the lining, insert an elastic band of such a length so that it does not press the forehead to the child, and at the same time does not slide on the eyes and sew the edges
As shown on the pattern, you should cut the fabric base for the eyes, fold the blanks with the front sides to each other, flash them along the edges, turn them on the face, lay a synthetic winterizer inside and sew a hub with a secret seam. Then you need to glue the eyes of plastic on these bulges.

The cap can be successfully replaced with a headdress, the basis of which will be a hair rim.

In order to make naturally looking frog eyes, you will need to get:

rim;
two green balloons;
two ping-pong balls;
pieces of white and black felt (10x10 cm each);
glue.

Hair rim is used as the basis for the eye of a frog. Place the balls for ping-pounds in the inflatable balls of green color and tie them with the ends to the hoop. And already on top of the balls you will need to glue cut circles of white and black felt. The eyes are ready!

How to make mittens in the form of frog legs:

To create the legs, use a felt or fleece green color and an elastic band-its width should be 5-10 mm.
On paper, a four -fingered paw is drawn with extensions at the ends of the “fingers”, is transferred to a green flap and cut out. The blanks should be built, and in the middle of the paw from the inside, attach a piece of elastic band so that your girl is able to stick a hand there.
If you choose clothes with long sleeves, then the paws can be sewn directly to them. In the case of short sleeves, you will need to sew more on a piece of elastic in the upper part of the "paws". And you can do in another way: from the inside to the "paws" sew cut gloves or the upper part of the socks.
