DIY carnival costume for a boy: Instructions for creating

From early childhood, boys love to play the Indians. So please your plvan with the opportunity to visit the “skin” of the Indian on the New Year's morning or some thematic event.

There are many musketeers and princes, but the Indians are usually in matinees - a few. Do you want your child to look colorful and original? Then ahead - without any doubt and hesitation, take on the creation of this image, and we will give you our advice as best as possible and faster to make the Indian's masquerade costume.

How to make an Indian costume for a boy with your own hands?

We create an Indian costume without using a sewing machine:

Only two elements will be used in the suit, but it is they who will make the image recognizable - the head bandage with feathers and poncho with Indian motifs.

Under the bottom, ordinary black trousers and a thin turtleneck are put on, preferably in the same color scheme with a poncho.
But if there is no such boy in the wardrobe, then it is not worth it to specially purchase a new one: any sweater is suitable, if only it had long sleeves.

Before sitting down for needlework, stock up on such materials:

a square of dense coarse fabric and red chintz matter meters per meter;
the holes of the red yarn from the acrylic;
black and brown ribbons - their width should be 0.5 cm;
with old black jeans - of which we will cut the flaps we need;
sewing threads of a forty room - we need orange and black color;
adhesive tape in the form of a web;
2 fur trolleys - they are sold as accessories for mobile phones;
fixed paper;
2 cocktail tubes;
napkins;
transparent stationery adhesive tape.

How to make a bandage with feathers for the Indian:

To begin with, you will need to take a red chintz fabric - there should be a meter length at the strip and a width - 0.4 m.
Fold it in length several times in the form of a wide and dense strip - so it will stay well on the forehead of the child.
Attach the fur tails from the key fiction for their textile loops on the sides of the bandage. Fasten the lower part of the feathers with tape, and then drop the material in its folds.

We make feathers for the headdress of the Indian:

For the manufacture of feathers, cocktail tubes will go (which must be cut along) and multi-colored crepe-paper. It must be cut with rectangles in size 22x5 cm, and then round the edges and make many cuts on them. It is best to use the paper “fluff” on cocktail tubes to use a napkin, which we attach tape.

The paper will need to be thinly chopped so that the width at the strips is up to 3 mm, and then wrap with tape or attach with a stapler around the tube. Three multi -colored feathers will be quite enough to decorate the head of the Indian.

We make a poncho for the Indian:

Fold the squid to determine the center, and then cut off the cut for his head in the form of a rhombus by the size of the boy. If there is no overlock, place the hole manually.
Cut the red chintz into 4 ribbons with a size of 15x80 cm and cut them in the form of fringe. Fasten them on a poncho with an adhesive spider web - for this you will need to put it between the poncho and the base of the fringe and slightly iron these places with the help of a not very hot iron.
Cut 12 squares from black denim, sweep them (now you need to use black threads) and sew them parallel to the red lanes - the distance should be the same. Decorate the central front square with black and brown ribbons.

How to make a fringe for a poncho Indian with your own hands:

The lower edges of the poncho will not work quickly, but your work will be rewarded: the cloak will look like an outfit of the most real Indian. It is necessary to make a lot of slots on the bottom of the cape, but they will not need to be cut to the very end; Their width should be about 7 mm.
Acrylic yarn will simulate fringe. Through these multiple cuts, pull the threads from acrylic (they must first be folded three times), tie them into a double knot and cut the ends, retreating from the nodes by 10 cm.
