I present to your attention the collar of the snow queen. I made it according to Olga Brest’s pattern.
My MK will be a little more detailed.

I took copper wire from electric coils. It's easy to use. Easily bends. True, I had to do it in 4-6 layers.
First, we try on the child with a wire to determine how we will have the neck. We immediately bend it and measure the top of our collar. Bend and connect to the beginning of the wire.
Here I also did back supports. But as practice has shown, they are not needed at all. At the end, on the finished collar, I cut them off....
By the way, we fix the wire in several places with paper tape

We install the first spacer, which will give rigidity to our collar.
Make so many layers of wire so that the collar is already quite rigid, but flexible

We add 2 more spacers on each side, giving the final shape to our collar. And he deceives the entire structure with paper tape. Our collar is transparent and white. We don't need dark spots

We trim our collar. On the back side I sewed a white shiny mesh. And on the front there is tulle with a silver pattern.
Then we hide our spacers under the silver braid on both sides. (I just glued it with a gun). We trim the collar around the perimeter with bias tape. Moreover, the trim going around the neckline needs to be lengthened to create strings.
This will help the collar fit better on the child.

On the mannequin, mark the collar line of the dress with chalk. Along the line we build the frame of the future collar from wire (I made long loops and then twisted them, it turned out strong and even). The number and height of the rods is arbitrary, according to your taste and sense of harmony. My task was to make them gradually increase from the center of the neckline to the neck. It is necessary to ensure that the opposite wire rods are the same length and the collar is symmetrical.
To prevent our model from moving, we attach it to the mannequin with pins. Along the line of the collar itself, from the outside, we twist the wire into rings; later a coarse mesh will be sewn onto them (cut an oblong rectangular piece from the mesh, with a good margin). These “rings” will subsequently ensure a secure fit of the collar to the neckline of the dress.

We wrap each protruding wire “thread” with masking (paper) tape. This will hide the metal, because our collar should be translucent and white.

We pin the mesh to the rods, making bends on the material so that the mesh fits the frame freely over the entire area and does not wrinkle anywhere. We cut off the excess mesh on top, focusing on the tops of the rods, leaving 1 cm of margin (just in case).

Unfortunately, I didn’t film the next stages, because... I haven’t discovered the Country yet, so I’ll just describe the actions:

You need to remove the mesh with pinned folds and carefully cut off the excess. Unravel the folds, lay them out on the table and use this “pattern” to cut out 1 more piece from light translucent material. Do not mix up the sides (left and right), because... Even if it seems to you that the frame is symmetrical, your eye may fail you. :-)

Again we pin the mesh to the frame from the wrong side. And we sew it to the rods, grabbing sequentially the mesh and the wire rod. There should be no sagging between the collar sections.

Now we perform the same operation with transparent fabric, only from the inside.
When both pieces of fabric are firmly sewn to the frame, you can work on the “points” of the collar. Mark with pins the line of “hollows” between the rods and sew them with small stitches with white thread. Then trim off the excess, retreating half a centimeter from the edge of the mark. In this photo you can see that one half has already been trimmed, but the other has not.

For decoration, we will imitate fragments of ice on the corners of the collar. I took the unnecessary disk and cut it into pieces with ordinary scissors. Be careful - the disc may crumble and fragments will fly in different directions; they may be picked up by animals or children. Therefore, it is better to perform this operation with wire cutters and in isolation from unreasonable and overly curious creatures.
Then randomly glue the pieces onto the tops of the collar.

Winter is in full swing... This time of year is truly magical! After all, not only children, but also adults never tire of believing in miracles; they love fairy tales, especially around New Year or Christmas. Let us plunge into the wonderful world of fairy-tale characters. There is probably not a single person in our country who has not read or watched the fairy tale The Snow Queen. This icy beauty has won the hearts of many men, and children, looking at her, are convinced that evil does not always look ugly. It’s not difficult to tell a fairy tale to your kids, but you can act it out. The Snow Queen costume is not at all difficult to prepare. A white sheet decorated with tinsel and snowflakes and sequins will suit this character. But what about the crown? An easy, fast and low-cost option can be viewed in the master class presented below.

Necessary materials. So, to create a crown we will need:
A small piece of old linoleum (or any other elastic material that holds its shape well).
A piece of white fabric (for the wrong side of the crown). It is better to take cotton material so that the contact of your head with the crown does not cause allergies and is pleasant.
Sharp scissors or utility knife.
“Hot” gun (can be replaced with another glue – “liquid nails”, “Moment”).
Decorating elements (sequins, snowflakes, beads, etc.).
Contour for drawing (better if it has glitter).
Narrow silver “bindweed” braid.
Hat elastic (or regular elastic) - for attaching the crown to the head.

All the necessary materials are ready, you can get started!
Determining size and shape. First, decide on the shape and size of the crown. This can be done using a regular newspaper sheet. Draw the intended crown on the newspaper, cut it out and attach it to your head (yours or your child’s, it depends on who this headdress is intended for). It is better if the crown has high and low teeth, imitating snowy “peaks”. Using a paper blank is convenient in that it can be easily adjusted using scissors. Transferring the crown pattern to linoleum. When the shape and size are determined, using a felt-tip pen, pen or marker, outline the resulting blank on the linoleum and cut it out using scissors or a stationery knife. You can use a ready-made shape and size for an average adult head. Length – 39-40 cm. The height of the large tooth is 20 cm, the size of the small protrusions is 13 cm. This is what the future crown looks like from the wrong side.

Decorating the inside of the crown. In order for the crown to look aesthetically pleasing from the inside, you need to take cotton fabric (preferably white), cut it to the size of the crown (without allowances) and use a hot gun to glue it to the wrong side.

Decoration of the outer part of the crown. Now the fun part is decorating the outside of the crown. Here you can turn on all the riot of your imagination. You can use what is beautiful at hand - beads, rhinestones, sequins, buttons. The only limitation is that the theme of the decorating elements must correspond to the winter season. You can suggest this decoration option.

Now you need to close the “ribs” of the crown using silver “bindweed”. Without cutting the tape from the “ball”, gradually, step by step, you need to glue the tape in small sections to the surface of the crown, pressing it tightly.

To add shine to the crown, you can use a special glass drawing contour, creating intricate patterns.

After drying, this contour loses its white tint and acquires a beautiful blue-green-golden sheen.

Every New Year, parents whose children attend kindergarten have to invent and bring to life fancy dress costumes with their own hands. In addition to the usual snowflakes and bunnies, costumes that are more complex to make are often required. One of these is the snow queen costume. And if it is not possible to buy a ready-made option, your own skillful hands come to the rescue. Read about how to make a snow queen costume yourself in today's article.

Characteristic details of the image

There are probably no children, much less parents, who would not watch the famous fairy tale of the same name. Therefore, at least an approximate image of the snow queen is certainly presented. But how to make such a costume with your own hands? First, let's define the characteristic features of the chosen hero, so that in the future it would be easier to create the desired image:

• long fluffy dress;
• cape;
• high collar;
• embroidered kokoshnik;
• cold complexion.

Having identified the main details, you can begin making an outfit for the carnival.

Snow Queen Dress

The only thing you will need in its “whole” form is the finished dress. There are no special requirements for it. Unless, its length should be to the floor, and its color should be from white to blue, reminiscent of snow and winter.

The style of the dress can be fitted or loose-fitting, with long or short sleeves. You can style almost any dress with the desired length and appropriate color.

Having chosen a dress, you can start decorating it. For this you will need silver sequins, beads, as well as white or silver tinsel, and a thin boa.

Use tinsel to trim the hem of the dress and the ends of the sleeves. If the chosen dress has short sleeves, then trim them with tinsel. Or you can put a very thin, preferably mesh, long-sleeve T-shirt under the bottom of the dress and cover it.

After covering the hem, we move on to decorating with rhinestones. Using thread and a needle, sew sequins in the shape of snowflakes along the entire length of the skirt of the dress. Sew a bead in the middle of each sequin.

Cape for the Queen

As we remember, the snow queen costume involves a wide cape. It’s quite possible to do it yourself. To do this, you will need a fabric with a sheen, such as satin. The color is selected according to the tone of the dress.

A circle is indicated on the fabric. Its radius will be equal to the desired length of the future cape. In the middle of the large circle, let's designate a smaller circle. This is the future neck. It is advisable not to make it too small so that the child would be comfortable in the cape. First cut out a large circle, then a small one. We process the seams using a sewing machine or by hand. Then, from the remaining fabric, cut out a strip 4 cm wide and equal to the length of the girl’s neck. Fold it in half and sew it inside the neck of the cape. You should end up with a kind of collar, to which a large collar from a snow queen costume for a girl will subsequently be sewn.

We sew on a small clasp and, if desired, decorate the hem of the cape with a boa or tinsel. And just like on a dress, you can decorate it with sequins and beads.

How to make a snow queen collar?

The collar of a girl's snow queen costume should be high and raised. You can also do it yourself. To do this, prepare crossbar, wire and fabric with glitter or special coating.

Start by measuring the circumference of your baby's neck. After this, calculate the desired collar height in front and back. It should be higher at the back than at the front. Draw a sketch of the exact size collar on paper. Divide it into parts, each part will be in the shape of an inverted trapezoid. Transfer from paper to fabric and cut out all parts in the amount of two pieces each. Sew the first collar and sew on the crossbar. The curved side should be directed towards the head. Next, sew the second collar like the first one and connect both together. The edge of the collar is reinforced with wire. Then this entire structure is sewn to the neck of the cape, to the sewn collar.

Kokoshnik or crown for the snow queen

In addition to a luxurious high collar, the snow queen's New Year's costume definitely requires a crown.

You can go the simplest route and cut out a crown from silver cardboard. Then glue it together and decorate it with stones, rhinestones and tinsel. Secure the finished crown to your hair with bobby pins. You will get exactly what you need.

But if you want to make an impression and make a real kokoshnik from fabric, then stock up on material, cardboard and decorations.

In general, the essence remains the same as with a regular cardboard crown. Cardboard, in this case, will serve as the base, since it holds its shape well.

So, having measured the circumference of the head and added about 4-5 cm to it, draw a sketch of the kokoshnik on paper. Choose the shape of the kokoshnik itself at your discretion. Then transfer the sketch onto cardboard and cut it out. Next, cover the cardboard blank with the selected fabric. It is best to choose white cardboard and fabric with a holographic effect. Then, sew Velcro onto the remaining ends of the kokoshnik for greater convenience. Finally, decorate with rhinestones and sequins, gluing them with glue. As you can see, making a kokoshnik for a snow queen costume with your own hands is not at all difficult.

Snow Queen Makeup

Since the chosen image is made for a girl, there can be no talk of full makeup. But something can still be done. For example, the main distinguishing feature of the snow queen costume is her pale complexion. To do this, lightly whiten the baby’s face with powder of the lightest shade. Apply a drop of foundation to your lips to make them paler. A self-made snow queen costume can be considered complete!

The upcoming New Year 2020 is the right time to make the cherished desires and dreams of our children come true, and winter holidays, especially masquerades and carnivals, provide a wonderful opportunity for this. Haven't you decided yet what outfit your daughter will wear to this party?

Many schoolgirls really like the image of the Snow Queen - the heroine of the famous fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, as well as many cartoons and films. You can make this outfit for a girl with your own hands. We'll give you some ideas.

The Snow Queen's costume is easily recognizable. Its general color scheme can be white or blue. You can decorate it with details of the same color, or you can choose slightly different ones, for example, silver-gray, and as a result it will look more impressive.

DIY Snow Queen costume for a girl for 2020 New Year

Satin, silk, guipure, brocade, organza, tulle and other fabrics are suitable for this outfit. A Snow Queen costume for a girl can consist of a dress with fur trim. You can also decorate a long dress with snowflakes, rain, white beads, sequins and rhinestones.

Another option is to sew a blouse decorated with sequins, tinsel or beads, and to go with it a tutu skirt made of light silver tulle.

The Snow Queen's masquerade costume may also include a circle skirt. You can make a skirt pattern as follows. Draw two circles on the fabric - an inner one (for the waist) and an outer one, making allowances for the seams. Cut out the circles, fold the hem and sew. Fold the belt 2-3 cm, sew and insert an elastic band into it. To make the skirt full, sew a petticoat from white tulle.

For the semi-sun skirt, you will need to cut two pieces of fabric. Sew them, fold the top edges, insert the elastic, tightening it a little, and sew.

Using this pattern you can sew not only a skirt, but also a cape for this New Year's masquerade costume. Sew a decorative snowflake made of plastic or fabric onto the front part of the cape in the chest area, which can be decorated with mother-of-pearl beads, sequins, rhinestones, etc.

Trim the edges of the skirt and cape with faux fur or shimmering Christmas tree tinsel - and your daughter will be irresistible in this outfit. After all, this is a carnival costume, it should sparkle to match the decorated Christmas tree!

The bottom of the cape and dress can be decorated with snowflakes - for example, with a pattern that includes the following alternating elements:

To this outfit you can add a wide belt decorated with a similar pattern.

Another element of the Snow Queen carnival costume for a girl is a cape made of transparent fabric, decorated with sparkles, white faux fur or silver tinsel. It can be long, like a raincoat, or it can be short - up to the shoulder blades or the middle of the back. Sew a stand-up collar to the cape, which will keep its shape well thanks to the non-woven fabric.

The collar can also be strengthened using a frame in the form of a trapezoid made of thin wire, which is used by florists. It needs to be covered on both sides with material, decorated with lace, beads and sparkles.

Or you can sew a stand-up collar directly to the dress. It is most convenient to make this part from light but durable tulle. This is easy to do: cut two strips of the desired height. Sew them together and gather them from the side of the neck, sewing a strip of fabric horizontally and stretching a regular elastic band along its edge.

To make the collar more rigid, lay several vertical stripes with regiline - and you will get a design that resembles a fan. Now all that remains is to carefully sew the collar to the dress. You can decorate this detail with beads or sequins.

Gloves, which you can buy or sew yourself and decorate with embroidery, sequins or white fur, will add elegance to the suit.

For the Snow Queen costume you will also need a crown, which you can also make yourself. It can be made from cardboard, pasting it with white satin and attaching rhinestones or pieces of unnecessary disks to it.

Or you can attach to a white hair hoop a large crescent cut out of cardboard, painted with silver or covered with the same material from which the cape was made.

For the month you need to stick miniature snowflakes cut out of foil, fragments of “rain” or tinsel, beads, etc. A transparent veil, also decorated with sparkles, is placed on top of the “horns” of the month.

A crown decorated with white beads or semolina imitating snow will also look great. Semolina or beads should be poured onto areas coated with glue and left for several minutes, and then shake off the remains.

You can make a crown using the quilling technique - from twisted paper strips of white or blue, which are glued to a hairband and decorated with sparkles. Finally, the crown can be crocheted using fine white yarn and then starched to ensure it holds its shape well.

And the image of the Snow Queen will be completed with a beautiful mask made of cardboard, papier-mâché, leather or fabric. You can use ready-made stencils, or you can draw it yourself, with your own hands.

Masks made of thick cardboard are made according to the following principle:

1. on the back of the paper, draw the outline of the mask and mark the places for the eyes,
2. cut out the contour of the mask and holes for the eyes,
3. glue the tape on both sides of the mask.

You can make holes in the sides of the Snow Queen mask and attach an elastic band to it. If the girl does not put on the mask, but only brings it to her face, holding it in her hands, you need to glue a stick or wooden skewer to this product. Don't forget to decorate the mask with sparkles, beads, bird feathers, embroidery, ribbons, rhinestones and other decorative elements.

All you have to do is apply makeup to the girl’s face - silver or blue pearlescent shadows, lip gloss and decorative skin gloss - and the image of a brilliant snowy beauty will be completed.
