A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Greetings, my dear creative and inspired like-minded people! Summer has barely ended and are you already looking for interesting ideas for fancy dress costumes? I propose to postpone reinventing the wheel until next time, and focus on well-known and proven images. Today I propose to consider a cool New Year's Christmas tree costume. The outfit looks great on both kids and adults who like to experiment with looks under the pretext of a holiday.

New Year's Christmas tree costume: color and costume combinations

A herringbone outfit opens up many possibilities for combining basic clothing items. It can be:

• dress;
• sundress and bolero;
• skirt and T-shirt (top, blouse, turtleneck);
• trousers and top;
• breeches or shorts with a blouse;
• overalls, etc.

As for color, all shades of green are a priority. Light green, dark green, marsh colors - all of them are suitable for creating an outfit. A suit with combinations of several shades of green looks especially cool. Let's look at the simplest outfit options, each of which can be easily made a couple of hours before the matinee without special seamstress skills.

Tinsel Christmas tree for the New Year - easy and beautiful

One of the simplest options for fancy dress costumes is made from tinsel. As a basis, you can take a dress that served at last year’s matinee. To make it look like a Christmas tree outfit, use tinsel in contrasting colors for lining. The decor made of white, blue, and golden rain looks great. This is if the dress is green. It is better to sheathe white with light green or green rain.

Tulle for the look of a fluffy Christmas tree

Tulle is an excellent material for making a Christmas tree costume. A tulle skirt turns out fluffy, festive and cute. A huge plus is that you don’t need to sew it. To make a real green tutu, just cut more tulle blanks, tie them tightly on a rubber belt (should correspond to the girl’s waist size), straighten and fasten the finished skirt on a matching satin ribbon belt.

To make the Christmas tree look elegant, it is decorated. Use toys and snowflakes made of paper, fabric, and foil. Miniature unbreakable Christmas tree decorations are suitable. To make the top part of the Christmas tree look no less elegant, sew several triangles from green rain or pieces of satin onto it. In addition, a Christmas tree blouse, T-shirt or sweater can be decorated with beads, bugles, sparkles and other sparkling decorative elements.

Shiny mesh is an unusual basis for a Christmas tree costume

Tulle is not the main material for making a simple and beautiful Christmas tree costume. A great alternative is shiny mesh. You don't even need thread to make a cool holiday outfit. The individual parts of the skirt are fastened with a stapler, which means that even children can take part in creating a New Year's masterpiece! Prepare in advance:

• organza in two colors;
• stapler;
• scraps of material of a suitable color;
• toys for decoration;
• rain;
• beads;
• T-shirt;
• ribbons;
• hair decoration.

1. Cut out squares from organza. Fold diagonally and gather with an accordion. Staple the finished element in the center with a stapler. Make blanks of different colors.
2. Fold the pieces of material prepared in advance in half; they are needed so that the skirt does not show through and is denser. Attach organza feathers to the base, alternating colors.
3. Sew a belt from satin fabric, sew it to the skirt so that there are long ties left for fastening.
4. Make a bow from nylon tape according to the principle of making organza feathers - with fastenings with a stapler in the center. Sew bows under the feathers at the bottom of the skirt.
5. Sew an additional petticoat if the skirt is still see-through.
6. Proceed to making the top. Take any white tank top, T-shirt or blouse as a base. Cut out the silhouette of a Christmas tree from green mesh, place it on a T-shirt, sew it on and decorate it with rain and beads.
7. Make a bright colored top and sew it onto the tiny Christmas tree on the T-shirt.

An interesting option is a tall green cap, similar to those worn by wizards, or a hairstyle that matches the general theme. You can make anything from the hair of a small Christmas tree, from braids to curls secured in a high hairstyle. The main thing is hair decorations. Just like on a dress, these can be miniature Christmas tree decorations, rain, shiny mesh, etc. An effective solution is green artificial strands and braids that are fashionable today. Having such material, you can build real New Year's masterpieces on the baby's head.

The lower part of the suit: what shoes and tights should be

The most comfortable shoes for a children's party are Czech shoes. Use them to complete the look of the Christmas tree. To make ordinary white shoes look like the trunk of a forest visitor, I suggest sheathing them with remnants of green fabric. Organza, mesh, satin and even tulle are suitable. If you have leftover fur lying around at home, use it for decoration, after painting it green.

Don't forget about the beautiful decor for the Czechs. These could be organza bows, like those that were sewn to the skirt, rain, rhinestones, sparkles, tiny snowflakes. Beads look beautiful, carefully placed on glue along the edges of the shoe and an organza flower in the center.

It is advisable to choose green tights or knee socks for your Christmas tree baby. White or yellow tights and leggings will look neat and festive. Appliqués and rhinestones set on glue will help make them even more elegant.

The final detail for the winter beauty is the cape. It can be made from almost any fabric. An elegant option is a silk or satin cape. Simpler and more common - made of organza or chiffon. The cape must be green.

And finally, don’t waste time and money on face painting. Christmas trees with cute designs on the face look especially cute and unusual. On holiday, girls can afford to indulge in cosmetics, so let it be professional makeup using safe products, done with the light hand of a master.

Friends, that's all for today. Maybe you have some interesting ideas about how you can decorate a Christmas tree so that it becomes the main character of the holiday? Share the post with your friends on social networks and find out what they think about it.

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

It's time to prepare outfits for our princesses! True, for the holidays girls can choose a different look for themselves. Therefore, I will show you how to choose and sew a costume for a girl for the New Year with your own hands.

Let me show you, using photos and videos, how to assemble each of the outfits for girls. But first I’ll show you how to make a full skirt, which can become the basis of any ensemble.

Tutu skirt - option 1

You will need:

• Tulle (or any other thin material) of one or more colors;
• Wide elastic band;
• Scissors;
• Needle and thread;
• Ruler.

Making:

1. Cut the elastic to the required length (waist circumference, minus 2cm). Sew it together.
2. We cut the tulle into strips: width – 15 cm, length – double length, depending on the height of the girl and your wishes.
3. We stretch the elastic band to make it more convenient to work.
4. Fold the tulle strip in half. We pass the middle of the strip under the elastic band. We pull 2 ​​tails of the strip into the resulting loop. We tighten it.
5. That's all! The fullness of the skirt will depend on the number of stripes (from 40 to 60).

By the way, as shown in the video, there can also be options with an elastic band, for example, a hair elastic, or just a ribbon. Then the ribbon on the finished skirt will need to be tied at the baby’s waist.

Star costume for girls for the New Year

We know how to make a full tutu skirt! If you combine blue, light blue and white stripes of fabric, the result will be very bright and beautiful.

BY THE WAY! For a “star” outfit, the edges of the ribbons on the skirt can be cut into a wedge shape!

The top can be either blue or white

We decorate with patterns in the form of a “star” using sequins or rhinestones.

One more moment! Skirts can be made 2 or 3. It’s beautiful if they are multi-level

As for the “crown”, this accessory can be easily prepared:

If you want, you can complicate the pattern or decorate it

Cinderella costume

Our Cinderella is going to the ball! Let's help her:

A full skirt is a long tutu, just below MK how to make it.

A topic is a rectangular piece of fabric. We make a seam at the back (you can sew a zipper into it).

We sew white shoulders to the top of the top so that they go down slightly. But you can make a scarf from this fabric. Drape over shoulders and pin to top. It will turn out just like a Disney heroine

A pair of gloves and a thin headband will complete the look.

Tulle Christmas tree costume

If you have a suitable green dress, decorate its skirt with vertical tulle stripes:

If not, then make a tutu skirt, it’s much easier than it seems. And you don’t need to sew anything!

Tutu skirt - option 2

More details in the video

Top

We have already considered this version of the top in the outfit for Cinderella:

1. You need a rectangular piece of fabric (its length is the circumference of the chest, its width is the height from the waist to the chest).
2. The seam is made at the back and a zipper is sewn into it. If the fabric is knitted, then a zipper is not needed, divide the chest circumference in half and cut out two rectangles, sewing them on the sides.
3. Shoulder straps are made.
4. All that remains is to decorate our Christmas tree with bows and balls.

Star

There is a star at the top of the Christmas tree!
We cut out a star from foamiran or cardboard, round the base to the shape of the rim and glue it to the rim.

Multi-tiered Christmas tree costume

Interesting option. It can be done even if you are not good at sewing. To be honest, I prefer tiered Christmas tree costumes, as they look more like a Christmas tree. We take the base - a matching jersey fabric. You can trace a girl’s T-shirt or dress and sew the base yourself.

Then you need to make tiers from tulle. We take organza or tulle of the same green color (but you can take a tone darker or lighter), cut out the strips (the length of the strip is 2 times wider than the girth in the place where you will sew. We sew each strip along the top with a machine and gather it a little, moving the fabric along the thread. We sew these strips to the dress in rows. If you find it difficult, then you can use a ruler to mark the place for the stitching and use tailor’s needles.

We sew on the stripes, process the armholes, neckline, bottom of the product and you can try it on. If it’s hard for you to work with organza, then you can simply singe each strip along the bottom over a candle. Just do it carefully so as not to spoil the fabric. And if it is tulle, then there is no need to hem it.

Another cute version of the Christmas tree tiered outfit.

A green dress is also taken as a basis, and an organza dress enlarged three times is sewn onto it. By gathering the dress into folds and tiers, we get a lush Christmas tree. Let's complement the outfit with bows, beads, and rhinestones.

Ice costume - snowflakes

The name itself suggests that the suit is small, for a baby. I selected 3 models.

With a purchased “holey” top

The simplest option is a store-bought knitted top with holes through which tulle ribbons can be threaded. More details in the video

And another type of tulle skirt is not tutu. This is "chrysanthemum". Here, folded tulle triangles are sewn onto the base in several rows.

With a top

We will make the bottom easily, especially if we use the “tutu” technique. A little higher there is a tutorial on how to make such a skirt, only it is made of red tulle.

But for the top you need to choose a fabric that matches the bottom. Further:

1. Fold the baby's T-shirt in half and trace it on paper. This is a pattern.
2. We fix it on the fabric folded in half. We outline taking into account seam allowances.
3. We cut out and sew.
4. We sew a lush mulberry to the bottom.
5. Just one moment! When making a belt, it’s better to pin snowflakes to it.

Creative style

This is an elongated tutu. Only the elastic is not on the belt, but on the chest. Two more elastic bands are sewn to this elastic band on the sides (they will be on the shoulders). They also have tulle stripes, only short ones. These are sleeves

Icicle costume

In my opinion, this should be an extended model. A long dress or trouser suit in white (blue) color is suitable. On top is a chiffon cape.

We trim the cape with snowflakes and sparkles. Can choose . And there should be a crown on the head (see article about making).
Or maybe from hot glue?

Winter has come. Soon, soon the most fabulous winter will come holiday. In anticipation new everyone has a lot of pleasant years hassle:needs to be thought through New Year's menu, make interior decorations, buy gifts for relatives and friends. What about the children? They are waiting for Santa Claus, and of course they are preparing for New Year's party!Serious preparations for this event are underway in kindergartens; teachers and music workers are thinking through interesting scenarios. But they always need their parents’ help, including in preparation. suits. Last year our pupils acted as Christmas trees and how I sewed for them costumes I'll tell you now.

First we'll make the hat. We need a glue stick, a paper cone blank (you can use ready-made caps that are sold in birthday kits), double-sided tape and tinsel.

We connect the straight sides of the cone and stick double-sided tape on it, then remove the protective film and wrap tinsel in a circle.

Now let's make a pompom.

Having connected 2 circle blanks, we wind red threads on them

Along the outside of the circle, cut the threads with scissors, separate the circles, and pull the threads into a pompom.

Attach the pompom to the cone. The hat is ready. To keep it on the child’s head, you need to make 2 small holes at the base of the cone and tie a hat elastic.

Now I’ll tell you how the skirts were sewn. To make them I bought gabardine fabric, satin crepe (for belt) and bias tape. First, I cut out the skirts and sewed bias tape to the bottom.

Then I cut strips for the belts.

I stitched it to the top of the skirt and inserted an elastic band.

This is how the skirt turned out.

For upper and lower tier Christmas trees I sewed the same skirts.

Trying on) And the mothers helped us trim our skirts with tinsel)

These are so beautiful Christmas trees performed at the New Year's party!

Thank you for your attention!

It is decorated with toys and tinsel, round dances are performed around it, and at midnight Santa Claus himself lights its lights. The New Year tree is one of the main symbols of the magical holiday.

If you want your child to be the center of attention at the matinee, invite him to dress up in a Christmas tree costume - a forest beauty. This look is suitable for both very young and older children.

Making a costume with your own hands

Making an outfit for the main character of the holiday will not be difficult even for those who have never dealt with a sewing machine. There are several ways to turn ordinary items into a New Year's costume.

The easiest of them is to find clothes in the children's wardrobe of a suitable color and style and alter them a little. It will take a maximum of two hours to make such an outfit. There are several options for alterations that do not require much time.

A green dress

Turning even the most austere, boring thing into a carnival outfit is a simple matter. If the dress is straight or slightly flared, even better. For a magical transformation, it is enough to decorate it with garlands of sparkling beads, tinsel, bows, small New Year's toys, snowflakes, and bells. Mark in advance with chalk where the decorations will be located, and then sew them to the dress.

White T-shirt combined with a green skirt

We deal with these wardrobe details in approximately the same way as described above. On a T-shirt you can make a voluminous applique in the form of a Christmas tree from felt or tulle. Trim the skirt with rain, tone-on-tone tinsel, or contrasting colors: white, gold, silver. This outfit can be complemented with elegant knee socks or red tights. This combination is traditionally considered New Year's.

Satin ribbons

They will need to be gathered and sewn onto the base, circle by circle, leaving a minimum distance between the rows. It is better to take wide ribbons, you will need a lot of them, and the costume will turn out lush. You can sew tinsel between the ribbons.

Christmas tree costume for a boy

Who said that the Christmas tree costume is only for girls? If you make the image of an evergreen tree more brutal, this outfit will suit a boy. The male version of the spruce suit should consist of overalls with a cap, or a T-shirt with green trousers.

For those who know how to sew

You can create an original Christmas tree costume if you put in a little more effort and sew it from green satin fabric. The entire suit, or part of it, for example, a bodice, can be made from this material. The skirt can be made from organza or tulle. In order to make a satin suit with a semi-sun skirt, you will need:

• satin fabric, depending on the age of the child from 1 to 2 meters;
• threads, needle;
• pattern paper;
• a measuring tape to take measurements from the child;
• sewing machine;
• linen elastic;
• tinsel, rain, organza or tulle to decorate the costume.

Let's look at the process of making a suit step by step.

Step 1. First of all, we take measurements from the child. It is better if the length of the skirt or dress is knee-length. In a suit that is too long, it will be uncomfortable for the baby to take part in outdoor games at the holiday, and a short skirt will constantly ride up.

Step 2. Using the measurements taken, make a paper pattern in full size. Attach the parts to the wrong side of the fabric, folded in half, and trace with a special pencil, chalk or a thin piece of soap. Don't forget to allow seam allowances of approximately 1-2 cm.

Step 3. Cut out the parts, fold them inward with the edges, and sew them on a machine. Sections can be processed with an overlocker. This will make the suit look neater.

Step 4. For a full satin skirt, cut out the circle according to the pattern. Finish the outer edge of the circle by folding it over. Make a drawstring around the inner circle. To do this, fold the fabric, about half a centimeter, stitch, leaving a small hole at the end. Insert the elastic, sew the edge to the end. For a Christmas tree costume, you can make a cape over the shoulders.

Another option for a full skirt is a “tutu” skirt made of tulle. It is made on the basis of an elastic band, along the entire length of which pre-cut strips of fabric are tied. To work you will need:

• green tulle, which will need to be cut into strips 20 cm wide; the length of the strips depends on the height of the child;
• wide elastic band, the length should be 3 cm longer than the model’s waist circumference;
• scissors;
• wide satin ribbon for belt;

Sew the elastic into a ring, or tie the ends in a knot. Pull it over the back of the chair to make it easier to tie the fabric.

Cut the tulle into strips of the required length and width. For very tiny ones, the strip size is 15x50 cm. Quantity: 40-60 pieces.

Find the middle of the strip, tie it to the elastic with a double knot or a loop knot, so that it does not tighten the elastic, but does not dangle on it.

Tie all the strips, pushing them tightly towards each other. Their ends can be trimmed, or they can be left at different lengths so that they look more like spruce branches.

Attach a satin ribbon to the belt. Straighten your skirt. The outfit for the matinee is ready.

New Year's herringbone dress made of tulle

From mesh fabric, using a similar principle of knots, you can make not only a skirt, but also a dress. An option for those who do not know how to sew or do not have a sewing machine at hand. For a tulle Christmas tree dress you will need:

• 6-7 meters of fabric, 1.5 meters wide;
• 9 meters of satin ribbon;
• 1 meter of wide elastic band;
• ruler;
• tape measure;
• needle with thread;
• scissors;

Cut the tulle into strips. Their length is calculated by the formula: the length from the armpits to the knees multiplied by two, plus 3-4 cm for the knot. The length of the elastic is determined as follows: 5-7 cm is subtracted from the chest circumference.

Sew the ends of the elastic together, stretch it using a chair to make it more comfortable. Ribbons are tied in the same way as when creating a tutu skirt. At the end, pass a satin ribbon between the knots. Make straps from a wide ribbon and sew them to the bodice of the dress.

The style of the outfit will be trapezoidal. If you need a fitted dress, then make a belt from a satin ribbon and sew or simply tie it over the dress.

An interesting option will turn out if you use a top elastic band for the top of the dress. This is a well-stretchy perforated fabric that needlewomen often use to make decorative headbands for babies. In this case, strips of tulle are tied directly to the fabric of the top, threading them through the holes.

Crown for a forest beauty

A headdress is a mandatory attribute of a Christmas tree carnival costume, because even the top of a real Christmas tree at the holiday is decorated with a spire or star. The simplest version of a headdress is a paper cap. You can buy it at a holiday supply store, or you can make it yourself. To do this, draw a circle on cardboard with a diameter of 25 cm, cut it out by making a cut on the side, roll it up into a cone shape. You need to glue tinsel around it, and put a red star on the top of your head.

Another win-win option: a crown on the rim. The headband is wrapped with a green satin ribbon, and a crown and a green mini-hat are glued to it.

For a Christmas tree headdress, a beautiful kokoshnik is suitable, which can be cut out of thick cardboard and sheathed or covered with green fabric. Real craftswomen can crochet a headdress. If you starch it, the crown or kokoshnik will keep its shape well.

Ideas for inspiration

Options for Christmas tree costumes may vary. Here are some ideas for inspiration on how to sew and decorate an outfit for a matinee.

Tulle dress with a wide red satin ribbon belt. Small shiny Christmas balls are used as decorations. The headdress is a cap on a rim, decorated with a gold star.

Felt Christmas tree. Warm and cozy suit for baby. The basis for the pattern can be any trapezoidal baby dress of a suitable size. Decorations: pompoms of different sizes, gold braid. Soft felt does not prick or rub. This option is suitable for the little ones.

Lush dress made of elastic top and tulle skirt. The highlight of the outfit is the bright red satin bows decorating the straps of the bodice.

A multi-tiered dress looks impressive. Complete with a magic hat, it creates a complete image of a forest beauty.

The most popular costume options

The New Year's carnival is replete with bright masks, fluffy dresses, and superhero outfits. In first place among the top three popular girls’ looks is the “Princess” costume. To create princess clothes, any fluffy dress of the desired color, generously decorated with beads, rhinestones and other attributes of royal luxury, is suitable. A charming head with a lush curly hairstyle is sure to be crowned with a diadem or crown.

The second most popular costume, familiar to parents from Soviet childhood, is “Snowflake”. A snow-white fluffy skirt that looks like a tutu. In many kindergartens and schools they come up with a special dance for this image.

The “Herringbone” suit is in the top three. Decorated with garlands, toys, tinsel, it looks quite advantageous among carnival outfits, ahead of bunnies, foxes and other forest animals.

A wide selection of carnival costumes in stores allows you to dress up your child as any fairy-tale character.

However, nothing compares to a suit sewn by mother’s caring hands. When creating an outfit, you can be sure that there will be no other one like it at the matinee.

As it turns out, you don’t have to have professional sewing skills to please your child with a unique New Year’s outfit. All it takes is a little patience, perseverance and desire. Everything will definitely work out thanks to step-by-step instructions.

It’s better to sew an original dress yourself

Children are especially eager for the New Year, as they look forward not only to gifts under the tree, but also to the opportunity to dress up in a carnival costume and become part of the magic that this holiday is filled with. One of the popular costumes for girls is the Christmas tree look, because... it is a symbol of the holiday. You can figure out how to sew a Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year yourself or use the ideas collected in this article.

How to remake an ordinary dress

Great option for busy housewives

Any mother can make such a Christmas tree dress for a girl for the New Year. You don't need any special sewing skills to create it. The entire work will take from 1 to 2 hours. Take a simple green dress as a base. It can be long or short, curvy, fitted or trapezoidal. All you need to do is decorate it with garlands and various toys. Beads made of multi-colored plastic, satin ribbons or New Year's tinsel are suitable for this. These decorative elements can be arranged in a zigzag or in a spiral.

The loose segments of the dress can be filled with bells, bows and snowflakes cut from felt or sewn from thick fabric.

Original costume

If there is no green dress in the girl’s wardrobe, you can take something else as a basis. But it should be monochromatic and shaped like a Christmas tree. But decorative elements should be brighter and in greater quantity.

Light Cape

If you are using a regular dress and are afraid of ruining it by sewing on decoration elements, then a Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year can be made in another way. To do this you will need a piece of tulle, nylon or green tulle. You need to make a cape out of it and decorate it with tinsel, snowflakes and other accessories.

Satin ribbons to create layers

To create the next Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year, you will need green satin ribbons and a dress, and it can be of absolutely any shape and color. Choose the width of the ribbons at your discretion, but the narrower they are, the more tiers you will have to make to hide the dress under them.

The ribbons need to be carefully gathered and sewn to the base. The better you do this, the more magnificent the outfit will be.

To create the illusion of snow-covered branches, you can add several layers of white ribbon. Rain or tinsel will add brightness and shine to your outfit if you sew them to the edges of the ribbon.

Skirt to create an image

Tulle skirt: easy and fast

This version of the Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year is also quite simple. The basis of the outfit is a green skirt. If there is an ordinary one, then the work consists only in decorating it. If you don’t have a skirt, you can sew one, for example, from tulle. This material is particularly light and airy. It will make your suit look impressive. You can complement the look with a white T-shirt or blouse and red tights. The combination of these colors is considered traditional for this holiday.

A simple vest or short cape will allow you to diversify your outfit. Such costume elements can be sewn from satin fabric or faux fur.

Cape to complete the look

How to sew a suit yourself

Sewing a New Year's outfit will certainly take more time than simply altering a finished dress, but you will have the opportunity to create an original and unique costume for your child. In such a costume, a girl will certainly stand out in a crowd of similar store-bought dresses.

Fluffy skirt

It was already mentioned above that you can sew a green skirt and decorate it with accessories. There are two ways to make such a skirt.

The suit will be complemented by a top and puffy sleeves.

For the first option, you will need for sewing:

• green tulle (organza, nylon, tulle are also suitable);
• elastic band 3 cm wide;
• threads;
• green satin ribbon.

1. Spread a piece of tulle on a flat surface;
2. Step back 1.5 cm on one side and use a needle and strong thread to sew the upper edge of the cut with large stitches;
3. Pull the thread so that folds form on the fabric;
4. Tighten the product until the skirt meets the child’s waist;
5. Sew a belt of satin ribbon to the finished skirt, the ends of which can be beautifully tied into a lush bow.

The second option is suitable for those who do not have special sewing skills.

Tulle skirt without sewing

Decide how long the finished product should be. Double this figure and add about 5 cm. This will be the length of the strips that need to be cut from the fabric. The width of the ribbons should be approximately 15 cm. Having prepared the stripes, take care of the skirt belt. To do this, take an elastic band whose length is equal to the child’s waist. Sew the ends and start assembling the skirt.

How to tie ribbons on an elastic band

Take one strip of fabric, fold it in half and tie it in a flat knot around the elastic, as shown in the photo. Place the tapes tightly together so that there is no free space. The skirt will be ready once you have tied all the strips of fabric.

It is worth noting that tulle is easy to work with because its sections do not need to be further processed or hemmed. This fabric does not fray or unravel.

A-line dress

The dress can be multi-layered

For sewing, you can use any green fabric. The pattern is so simple that even a novice needlewoman can make it. The main thing is to take the child’s measurements correctly and determine the length. But this Christmas tree dress for a girl for the New Year looks more impressive when the length ends slightly below the knees.

Pattern for a-line dress

After cutting out the costume pieces according to the pattern, sew them together. It does not take a lot of time. But you will have to work hard on the hem. Make many small loops on the inside of it. Insert stiff wire into them. It will support the hem. Decorate the dress as you wish.

How to make a headdress

A girl’s Christmas tree costume for the New Year will be incomplete if you don’t think about how to decorate the child’s head. The top of the tree is most often crowned with a star or icicle. You can use your imagination and realize your ideas.

Tinsel hat

One of the simplest options is to wrap tinsel or New Year's rain around any hat. At the top you can place a red star. And if you additionally decorate the brim of the hat with white wool, this will create an imitation of snow.

Use tulle, nylon or organza

Another simple way is a veil. A light, airy green material is suitable for this. Gather a piece of fabric from one edge and secure it to your hair using bobby pins. Additionally, you can make a decoration in the form of a star or a red bow.

Cap

You can make a cap out of cardboard or felt and decorate it with the same details that were used to decorate the costume.

The star can be made from felt or colored cardboard

Another option: take a children's headband and wrap it with rain or green satin ribbon. Sew or wire a star made from the material of your choice to it. The headdress is ready.

Different ideas for decorating headbands

You can decorate the headband in other ways. Handicraft techniques such as quilling or patchwork using satin ribbons (not to be confused with patchwork) are suitable here.

Tinsel on a wire

But a more complex version of the headdress is the crown. To make it, you can wrap a piece of rigid wire with tinsel and, bending it in different directions, give it the desired shape.

Knitted crown

The following options will be within the power of true craftswomen. This work is, of course, painstaking, but the result will be unsurpassed.

A crocheted crown will stand firmly if it is well starched.

Crown - the highest level of skill

To make such a crown, you first need to make a wire frame and, using it as a stencil, make a pattern from light transparent fabric. Nylon or organza will do. You should end up with 2 identical parts that need to be sewn together and then carefully pulled onto a wire frame. The structure can be secured to the rim. Embroider the finished crown with rain, decorate with tinsel, stars and snowflakes.

A little imagination, desire, free time and skill will allow you to create a simple Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year.
