How to make a tiger suit out of paper. DIY Christmas costumes. Custom Made Snowman Outfit

They invited us the other day to a party for children. It was necessary to come at least in a suit, but there was no suit at all because of unpreparedness. The best and fastest option for me was to turn Max into a White Tiger using the remnants of striped fur. It was necessary to leave in a few hours, so improvisation and the ease of approach played a big role.

There was very little fur, therefore, the costume consists of a tail, ears, a butterfly and paws. We cut out the rectangles of the fabric.

Left paws, butterfly above, ears below. Plus a long strip of tail. We sew the rectangle for the butterfly, turn it out, collect it in the center on the thread and wrap it with ribbon. The design is attached to the shirt using the same tape.

The tail is stitched, twisted, attached to white panties for loops using a pin.

We cut out the ears in circles, sew, twist and fasten them with hot melt glue to the rim, bought in a stall for 30 rubles.

We collect the paws in the center, slightly tighten and fasten the tape for tying. My future Tiger cub categorically refused to wear paws, which saved my mother another 15 minutes of time.

It was planned to paint a face: draw a mustache and a black nose; but due to the small age of the model, this idea crashed, and my mother’s nerves became weaker by a couple of hundred nerve cells. Therefore, I drew a mustache in Photoshop for this master class 🙂 Well, our Tiger cub is ready.

The reverse transformation into a child takes even less time: they took everything off, washed it off, kissed it and put it to bed!

Happy New Year to all Masters and Buyers and wish obedient Tigers and Tigers))

The upcoming 2010 is the year of the Tiger according to the eastern calendar.

Making a New Year for a child is quite simple.

You will need a striped fabric, imitation of a tiger skin: velveteen, plush, light faux fur.

Tiger suit. Option one.


We sew a jumpsuit for a pattern of a children's body - a little man. If the jumpsuit is with a hood, then we sew ears to it. Ears are made of four semicircles, we lay with foam rubber or stuffed with cotton, sew to the hood.

If the jumpsuit is without ears, then we sew a hat on the pattern of a children's bonnet or like a helmet with a fastener under the chin with Velcro.

We sew the tail from two long strips, insert the wire inside and stuff with cotton. Can be laid with foam and stitched. Sew the tail to the jumpsuit.

Tiger suit. Option two, the easiest.


  Instead of overalls, you can sew panties or shorts and a vest with buttons. We make a hat as in the first embodiment, on the basis of a pattern for a bonnet or helmet. Sew on the ears. Do not forget about the tail.

We put a yellow sweater or T-shirt under the vest, depending on what temperature will be in the room.

Tiger suit for the girl.

Each of us remembers how impatiently in childhood we were expecting the New Year party, how we dreamed of the most amazing carnival costume. We imagined that this costume will transform us beyond recognition, and then make it the queen of the ball. And for this I didn’t have to buy new Year's costumes: do it yourself  our mothers made them simply unique. Each of us can do it today.

At the New Year's carnival, the most popular have always been and will be animal costumes. This is a wolf made of old gray payta. Will he find his Little Red Riding Hood?

For the costume you will need gray, yellow and black fleece.

Where the wolf ran, the sister fox will surely appear.

But this tiger and tigress can be sewn from old coats.

There are many traditional costumes - favorite animals, fairy tale characters, cartoons. These outfits are very popular among children and their parents. And this is despite the fact that they are found on every matinee more often than other costumes and absolutely do not claim to originality. And although they are often made from well-worn clothes, the attractiveness of outfits does not decrease from this. After all, who can leave indifferent a BUTTERFLY or MOTEL suit. And to embody the image of an insect-girl, you just need to put on a child an elegant light blouse and dark (and even better black) skirt, tights and shoes. On the head you will need to make a hoop made of black fabric on a cardboard basis, on which you must attach a tendril of wire with beads or balls at the ends. The main work will be the production of wings. To begin with, a piece of light plain silk is taken - white, blue, pink or yellow. A blank is cut out from it under the wings in the form of a semicircle, stretched and painted with watercolor paint or aniline dye according to your desire and imagination. The only requirement for the pattern is to maintain symmetry. After the drawing has completely dried, the fabric is collected in the center and attached to the neck, and the tips of the wings on the wrists.

For a moth costume, you only need a mask, a pink dress and bracelets.

Little snowman and the sun. A wonderful, albeit dangerous tandem.

Such advise to do just if you can skillfully use flaps.

But it’s so easy to turn a moth into a cat and vice versa.

For a cunning animal, you will need a red dressing gown or dress and a white jacket.

To make a Christmas tree outfit, you need only a little more than half an hour. First, corrugated paper, of course, green, is made a sundress and a cap. The sundress is decorated with glued paper toys and garlands, and the top is attached to the cap in the form of an asterisk or icicle.

Stock up on supplies, buttons, a green cloth and a garland.

Make a pattern on the old newspaper. Hint: it can be made from an old T-shirt.

Transfer the pattern to the fabric. Choose fabric more tightly.

Measure twice, cut one, make the back and front of the tree.

On the wrong side, draw out cutouts for the garland with chalk.

Insert small pieces of wire - they will hold the garlands.

Secure the garland with wire.

For safety, you need to sew a lining, because the costume is for children.

It remains only to connect the garland to the batteries, then you can’t do without dad.

Shine Christmas tree!

Often   DIY Christmas costumes for children  remake from a dress bag of the desired length or sundress. For example - SNOWMAN: the child is wearing boots or thick white socks, a hat made of shiny paper such as silver foil is put on his head, or you can put on a real small bucket. The lower edge of the headgear is sheathed (or pasted over) with “hair” - rain, thin synthetic winterizer, white fur or woolen threads. Further, a white sintepon sundress is put on a white turtleneck and belted with a ribbon of rain. On the nose you can attach a paper carrot on a soft eraser.

If you have a funny hat, a red scarf and a white turtleneck, then you should not worry about the Snowman costume.

For the Clown, you will need something striped and insanely bright.

Striped tights and red wigs will turn you into a charming clowness.

You can also easily build a flyman costume, for the implementation of which you just need to put on red velvet breeches with a lace white blouse or jumpsuit decorated with an applique on the chest. Well, and the red cardboard cap, of course, is pasted over with white circles. No special material and physical costs are required in the manufacture of GNOME costume. Again, take the breeches of red, a lush lace blouse, on which a yellow vest is worn. The blouse can be replaced with a shirt with removable cuffs and a fluffy collar. It remains only to adapt the cap of red fabric, the nose with potatoes - on an elastic band, the beard of white or yellow foam (can be replaced with fringe, synthetic winterizer or fur). And, of course, the gnome’s costume will not do without a small flashlight, which will be the final touch for this fabulous image.

Then the dress is decorated with organza, ribbons, lace, because this dress is intended to be the most beautiful princess in the world! Then things will go more complicated: to be able to make a long golden braid. Although, here, too, there is nothing unusual: a simple bezel for hair, to which a golden or yellow yarn is attached with a hot glue gun. First you need to decide on a long braid, which should slightly exceed the growth of the girl. Then you need to prepare strands of yarn of the required length, making sure that the threads do not tangle. The hair from the rim is left for a short length, simulating the likeness of a wig, and then braided into an ordinary classic long braid, and gradually it will be necessary to weave golden rain, ribbons and flowers, thus decorating the hairstyle. Then, a pigtail is braided from the threads shorter, which will correspond to the length of the base - the rim. Using the same glue gun, the braid is glued to the rim on its outer side, decorating the hairstyle and hiding not very aesthetic moments in it. So you can please your beloved daughter, showing only a little imagination and patience.

Out of time and fashion and a PIRATE costume. By the way, it is even easier to manufacture than the previous options. So, worn old jeans are cut below the knee level so that the cut line looks deliberately shaggy and uneven. A couple of patches are sewn on jeans, as well as a rough application on the theme of "gold coins." Also, the boy dresses up in a vest, knits a bandana on his head, a bright scarf is tied to his neck. Of course, it will be good if, in addition to traditional pistols, this hero is also planted on the shoulder of a green parrot. And there’s nothing to argue about the final touch to the costume - the black blindfold - without it the costume would be incomplete. A more modern version of this outfit is the Jack Sparrow pirate costume. In this case, you will need a “real” wig that can be made from fabric - black and red knitted shreds. Moreover, the red fabric needs to be folded like a bandana. From black fabric, it will be necessary to cut strips, which are subsequently attached to the bandana on both sides and are braided into braids. Beads and ribbons are also woven into them. The fabric in the hair can be replaced with thick yarn, making braids from it. You can attach lace cuffs and the same collar to the white shirt of this aristocratic pirate. To make a pirate vest, you can use an old jacket with cut off sleeves, stitching massive pockets and bright large buttons on it. The vest must be chosen dark. If the trousers can be simple, but also necessarily dark and short, then boots are needed up to the knees themselves and even taller. If you wish, you can remake them in the "real" boots. But the belt needs to be prepared in a light tone with a massive buckle. And you should not forget about the most important accessories of this image, which will become an extra reason for you to show your extraordinary imagination. And this pirate’s jewelry is full of a variety of jewelry: from belts to rings, from bracelets to pendants, from a sword with a gun and to a compass. Perhaps now your little son will be delighted!
