Boys are bunnies, girls are snowflakes.This is how the roles of children were distributed (and continue to be distributed) at kindergarten New Year's parties. And if girls were almost never given any other chances (unless they were squirrels), then boys were dressed up as gnomes or Petrushkas. Do you know why? Because any mother could make such a costume. Today's parents are in an advantageous position compared to their predecessors. Firstly, they can simply buy their child a ready-made costume, and secondly, there are simply more options for a New Year's costume for a boy today than twenty years ago. And all this thanks to new fairy-tale male heroes. And even if you are not able to sew a New Year's costume for a boy with your own hands, you can make such a costume only if you have sufficient imagination and cutting and sewing skills. Here are just a few ideas for such costumes.

Harry Potter

The costume requires minimal effort.a boy wizard. By and large, every schoolchild already has this costume. In any case, trousers, a shirt and a jumper are sure to be in his wardrobe. And now the main accessories are a robe, glasses and a magic wand. The robe can be made from a piece of any suitable fabric of black or dark blue color. And there is no need to sew the same cloak with sleeves as the movie Harry. Just make a spacious cape. You can borrow round glasses from someone you know, but do not forget to remove the diopter lenses from them first. And if no one has them, then make a frame from ordinary wire and paint it with spray paint. There are no problems with the magic wand at all. Any long knitting needle can easily be turned into such a wand if you wrap it with beautiful braid and decorate it with sequins, beads or Christmas tree tinsel. Well, you can probably draw a lightning-shaped scar using your cosmetic pencil.

Cowboy and pirate

The idea is, of course, not new.But the costume is also very easy to make. Find a plaid shirt and jeans. Look for a suitable neckerchief in your wardrobe. Decorate a regular vest with fringe - and now the cowboy costume is almost ready. It's time for a cowboy hat. By and large, any hat with a wide brim (even a straw one) will do for a children's costume. You just need to fold its brim correctly. A pirate costume is even easier to make. Trousers, a striped shirt, a bandana and a black eye patch. And if you decorate the bandana with an applique in the form of a skull and crossbones, the pirate will be irresistible. Oh, and don't forget that both of these costumes involve the use of such an attribute as a toy gun. Believe me, with a gun in his hands, your child will be delighted with any costume!

Magician

There are no special skills required to make something like this.It doesn't require a costume either. True, you'll have to tinker with paper to make a top hat. First, cut a rectangle out of a piece of Whatman paper and roll it into a tube. Calculate the height and diameter based on the child's age and head size. Now cut out the bottom: the diameter of the tube plus one and a half to two centimeters. Then cut this "extra" edge of the bottom into teeth, which you bend at a right angle to the surface of the bottom. Then glue these teeth to the inside of the cylinder, covering the pipe with the bottom on one side. Cut out a ring that will become the brim of the cylinder. Also leave some extra space along the inner diameter of the ring for the connecting teeth. Glue it in the same way as the bottom, applying it to the underside of the cylinder and tucking the teeth into its inner part. All that remains is to cover the cylinder with gold paper or fabric. Alternatively, the cylinder can be painted black or covered with black silk. All that remains is to make a cape from any suitable fabric and decorate it with foil stars. And as for how to make a wand, you already know.

Pinocchio

If your child is familiar with Tolstoy's fairy tale, thenhe will happily dress up as a wooden man. You will need to sew a striped cap. It is very easy to do. Cut a cone with a rounded base from the fabric, the length of which should be equal to the circumference of the head. If you do not have suitable striped fabric, then sew red stripes onto a white base. Then make just one seam, connecting the sides of the cone, and sew a tassel to the cap. By the way, such a cap can be successfully knitted or crocheted. The jacket, which the real Pinocchio had paper, can also be sewn from bright lining fabric or replaced with any colored vest. Any shorts will do. Or you can shorten the trousers to the desired size, which you don’t mind cutting off. Well, make a long nose and a Golden Key from Whatman paper. And striped knee-highs or white socks will complete the Pinocchio costume.

Koschei the Deathless

The idea for this costume was inspired by the film adaptationsRussian folk tales. You only need to pick out dark tights (pants) and a sweater. You will also need foil, from which you will have to cut out the skeleton parts and glue it to the crown, and black fabric for the cloak and applique. Find an image of a real skeleton and, looking at it, draw (first on a newspaper) two parts - the sternum with ribs and the pelvic bones. Make the pattern size life-size. That is, the drawn bones should correspond to the size of the real skeleton and the height of the child. Then transfer these drawings to foil and cut out. Glue the finished patterns to a piece of black fabric, which is then sewn to the sweater. Make a cape-cloak from the same fabric, and make a crown from Whatman paper - a primitive jagged one. Paste the crown with foil, and trim the cape with tinsel for the New Year.
