DIY monkey costume for girls

A new-rifle girl will look great in a brown plush skirt and the same color golfica, a vill vest and brown tights. Instead of a skirt, you can use a brown dress or shorts. You need to supplement the image with either a ready or made by the mask itself.

If you decide to create a circus monkey costume, then in this case your girl will look lovely in any magnificent short dress - and so that there are more sparkles on it. She is a monkey who loves to move, build faces and she attracts everything brilliant, which means that the excessive tinsel will not hurt her in any way.
In fur hetras, the girl will look even more funny. For sewing them, two fabric cuts of a rectangular shape and an elastic band will be required, which will need to be sewn at the top of the heter, so that they do not “fall” from the feet during active movement.

How to make monkey ears, tail and hat to the suit?

For the manufacture of ears to the monkey costume, you first need to draw them on cardboard, cut them out and sheathe with fur on top - they can easily be attached to the rim.
In this case, you don’t even need a mask, just make up your girl’s face with safe children's colors for a monkey, do not forget to attach a long curved tail to your skirt (how to do it, read below) - and your monkey is ready for funny entertainment!

The tail - one of the main attributes of the image of a monkey - is quite easy. Take the easily bending wire of the desired length and tightly wrap it with foam or synthetic winterizer. To fix this design, elastic bands are suitable, which are pulled by banknotes.
Above all this can be covered with brown, tightly twisted stocking. But it will be even cooler if you sew a narrow fur cover for the tail.
You can sew the tail directly to the skirt, shorts or pants, or you can attach it to the children's strap or the same stocking or narrow fur strip. A belt for fixing at the waist can be made from the same stocking (fur) or children's belt.

If you decide not to use the mask, then in this case you will need to take care of the hat. For sewing it, you need to cut out two sidewalls.
In order for the hat to firmly framed the face of your “monkey”, when cutting the sidewalls, try them to the child’s head. You can already glue the ears and all the face of the animal on the hat.

As shoes, it is quite possible to limit yourself to sandals, dark moccasins or Czechs, however, you can also show creativity by attaching homemade monkeys “paws” to them.
