Snowman Costume for a Boy - Step by Step Instruction
A very simple master class, based on the image of the character from the cartoon "Cold Heart", beloved by many, - the snowman Olaf. This option is suitable for boys from 3 to 10 years.
Necessary materials:
- white sweatshirt with hood
- orange, black and white colors
- wire
- thin plastic stick
- sintepon
- glue
- thread and needle
Main stages:
- Let's start with the nose-carrot design. To do this, from the felt of orange color, we cut out a cone, about 10-15 cm long. We roll the workpiece into a tube and sew it along the entire length with threads. Densely fill the tube with a sintepon and attach to the bottom of the nose a small piece of white felt - the teeth of a snowman.
- We fix the nose on the long stick with the help of glue or double-sided scotch. It can be a frame from a helium ball, candy or a toy.
- We wrap the resulting pen along the entire length with white tape or a medical adhesive plaster.
- Now we turn to the design of the costume itself. From the wire, trimmed with felt, we will make the hair of Olaf - 3 hairs of different length. Adhesive tape or glue will attach the hair to the hood of the sweatshirt.
- From black felt we cut out the basis for the eyes - 2 small mugs, 2 cm in diameter and 2 large mugs, 10 cm in diameter. For proteins we cut 2 circles, 6 cm in diameter, from white felt. Lay our eyes on the hood and fix them with glue. From the dark felt we will also cut out the snowman's eyebrows.
- Instead of buttons we will again use black felt. More precisely, we cut out of it three identical circles of any size. We glue the buttons along the entire length of the sweatshirt.
- The cheerful and good-natured costume of a snowman Olaf for a boy is ready!
New Year's dress for a snowman for a girl - step by step instruction
This option is suitable for a little girl who dreams of reincarnating in a snow-cheerful snowman. If desired, it can be supplemented with a suitable headgear, for example, a bucket of cardboard or a paper hat-cylinder.
Necessary materials:
- white tulle
- broad band
- black felt
- body or t-shirt
- glue
Main stages:
- The base of the costume will be a white T-shirt or bodik. It is better to take a thing with a depicted snowman's face, as in this master class. If this is not the case, then an ordinary T-shirt, on which it will be necessary to draw a snowman's face with paints or make an applique of felt, will do.
- Let's turn to the design of the skirt of tulle. To do this, on a wide elastic band, which in diameter is equal to the waist of the girl, we will tie strips of tulle. The width of the material is 20-25 cm. The number of strips is 40-50 pieces. The pieces of tulle are fixed exactly next to each other to form a dense pack.
- From black felt we will cut out circles, which will replace buttons on the costume of a snowman. Attach them along the entire length with the help of glue. We will complement the suit with a thin black blouse with long arms and tight pantyhose.
