Adults, unfortunately, are losing their naivetychildren's faith in miracles and the ability to immerse themselves in a fairy tale or even turn reality into a fairy tale using the power of their own imagination. Adults - yes, but not children! And if on ordinary days they can still allow themselves to doubt something like this, then the time of the New Year holidays does not leave a single chance for doubts. And, by the way, adults are also infected with this general anticipation of a miracle, especially if they take an active part in preparing for New Year's children's holidays. And children (especially girls) are waiting not only for gifts and holidays, but also for the New Year's masquerade, when they can try on the outfit of a fairy-tale hero, temporarily turn into a princess or a wizard, become a dashing cowboy or an all-powerful Goldfish. By the way, many images can be brought to life by making children's New Year's costumes with your own hands. For example, what outfits for girls can mothers and grandmothers make?
Malvina
If you are good at sewing, you can take upsewing a beautiful fluffy dress for Malvina, and in addition to it, make pantaloons with lace trim. However, there is a simpler option that will suit even those mothers who do not know how to sew and cut, but want to make a costume with their own hands. So, the dress. Almost any elegant dress in pastel colors will do for Malvina's costume. But it is best if it is blue or pink. The option with pantaloons for those who do not know how to sew is pajama pants of a suitable color. Just insert elastic bands at the bottom of the legs and sew a frill of lace or tulle along the edge. If you do not want to mess around with pantaloons, then make a fluffy skirt for the dress from a piece of organza, tulle or chiffon, which will be white or the same color as the dress, but will cover the legs below the knees. Embroider the dress with ruffles of lace or stripes of the same organza, or nylon ribbons. And, by and large, the main part of the costume made with your own hands is ready. Hairstyle. If you can buy a ready-made wig with blue hair - great! This means that another problem is solved. The second option (suitable for a girl with long hair) is to do without a wig, and make a hairstyle from the child's own hair, curling doll curls. The main accessory of Malvina's hairstyle is a huge butterfly bow, which can also be made with your own hands from satin, nylon, chiffon, organza and attached to the headband. It is advisable to decorate the belt on the dress with the same bow, and place the bow at the back. Shoes. Any white, pink or blue shoes, as well as ballet shoes, which you can turn into Malvina doll shoes with your own hands if you simply attach bows to them made in the image and likeness of what Malvina has on her head. That's all. Add white knee socks or tights to the costume and give your Malvina the appropriate makeup - blue eyeshadow, rosy cheeks, pink lips. Your Girl with blue hair is ready to go to the masquerade ball.
Gold fish
Consider that you already have a Goldfish costumeready, if the girl's wardrobe includes any elegant dress of yellow, orange or even red color. And if there is a golden dress, then the fish will be simply perfect. You will only have to make two things with your own hands: a headdress and a cape (cape). By the way, for greater effect, the dress of your Goldfish can be trimmed along the hem with golden Christmas tree tinsel, and if the style of the dress allows, then also decorate the bodice and sleeves. Now the cape. In principle, if you have a golden dress, there is no need for a cape. But if there is such a need, then sew it from any golden fabric. The cape can be made long (to the floor), and short and fluffy, like a cape. This element of the costume will not require special skills from you, and almost any mother can make it with her own hands. Headdress. Here you have two options. Firstly, if you go the simple way, then the easiest way is to make a crown from wire and golden tinsel. First, put tinsel on the wire, and then bend this wire in the shape of a crown. The second way will be more difficult, but the image with its help will be more recognizable. In this case, you will have to make a cap in the shape of a fish with your own hands from cardboard or Whatman paper. To do this, you need to draw two silhouettes (in mirror image) of some cute cartoon fish and paint them with ordinary gouache, depicting eyes, gills, fins, tail, and, of course, scales. By the way, the fish should be drawn in a crown, and its tail can be decorated with golden Christmas tree tinsel. Now you need to put both fish together (with the painted sides outward) and glue both parts along the upper contour, making a semblance of a pioneer (or army) cap from the fish. You put the fish-cap on the child's head, secure it with invisible hairpins and admire the outfit of the Goldfish, which, by the way, you made with your own hands.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even if the idea of this costume seems hackneyed to youor even outdated and hackneyed, but your child, believe me, is of a completely different opinion. Everything in this world is new for him, and the image of Little Red Riding Hood, which appeared in the seventeenth century, is as relevant for your daughter (granddaughter) as it was for you at her age. So, without bothering too much, try to make a Little Red Riding Hood costume with your own hands. The main element of the costume is a red cap (panama hat, hat, beret). All other details of the costume can also be found in your child's wardrobe or rented from relatives or friends. A white blouse is in the wardrobe of any schoolgirl. But not only a blouse will do, but also a turtleneck or a long-sleeved T-shirt. A vest of any dark color (blue, black, burgundy, green). Finding this element of the costume for you will also not be difficult, as well as almost any fluffy skirt. By the way, to complete the image, you can sew lace along the hem of the skirt or even sew a petticoat, the edge of which will peek out from under the hem of the top one. The apron is the last important detail that you may have to sew with your own hands. And, naturally, a wicker basket will complete the Little Red Riding Hood costume. You can put a bouquet of artificial flowers in the basket or even put cookies and candies that Little Red Riding Hood can treat her friends with.
Bee
A very popular New Year's costume among girlsany age. For both little girls and schoolgirls, the basis of the costume will be a short dark dress or trousers with a turtleneck. Your task is to embroider this costume with yellow stripes of fabric. One option is a yellow skirt and a striped T-shirt. Another option is black trousers and a yellow turtleneck trimmed with black stripes. By the way, the fashionable Beeline-style coloring can be found on knitted gloves or knee-highs. If you have any, or you suddenly buy them by chance, then they will be an excellent addition to the Bee costume. And, by the way, you can knit yellow and black striped leg warmers or mittens with your own hands in a couple of evenings. The most difficult thing is to make the wings. For this, you will need strong but soft wire, for example, aluminum. Fold the wire into a figure eight and secure it at the crosshairs and at the ends. Then find a suitable translucent fabric (tulle, nylon, organza or even tulle) and cover the wire with this fabric. White nylon tights will also work for this purpose, from which you need to cut off the legs and cut the top of the tights into two parts along the front and back seams. In extreme cases, wings can even be made from thin paper. A headband with pompom antennae completes the New Year's Bee costume. Such headbands can be easily purchased in a store or even made yourself by attaching the same wire with pompoms or with large beads on the ends to a regular headband.
