They require white shirts or blouses, lacy manicons and cuffs, capes, and boots. Thus, by making one version of the New Year's outfit, you can continue to use the available developments. So it turns out that the king's costume for the boy is the ideal solution to the problem with the carnival costume in general for several years ahead.
Think, discuss, offer
Of course, the simplest option is to buy all the necessary accessories in a regular store or order online. But after all, and selected by the size of the thing often still have to adjust to a specific figure, and it sits not always right. So let's try to make a king suit with our own hands. Its components: ordinary black trousers or sewn pants, you can panties to the knees or the middle of the calves, seized below the elastic bands and trimmed with lace. White shirt, as an option - my mother's or sister's blouse with a long sleeve. It should be quite spacious, with the allowance, therefore, it is especially possible and not to suture, as it will be refilled in trousers. If the costume of the king, sewed by hand, you make with short trousers, you should take care of the white golf (for a young child fit and pantyhose) and shoes with buckles or high boots. Plus, of course, a mantle (cape cape), a crown or a hat with a plume, a sword on the belt or a sling.
Getting Started with Shoes
Homemade carnival costumes, as a rule, are especially difficult when it comes to shoes. With girls, however, it is easier in this matter. But for the guys, he also decide. Royal shoes can be black or dark brown. If they are old, have seen species, you can shine by gluing gold or silver foil - of course, this is for the king from the kindergarten. Be sure to make a large buckle. You can use a flexible wire, making workpieces, which are then covered with a golden cloth and attached to the shoes. If the royal carnival costumes require boots, we suggest doing so. Bring winter shoes (we are talking about boots and boots, as other types do not fit) your child to the ideal cleanliness and shine, the existing scrapes and other defects mask the cream or vaccine. From the cardboard cut lapels, as in the boots. Paint with silver or bronze paint and fasten on the son's boots. You can do this with a double-sided tape.
We work with a cape
New Year costume of the king for a boy without a cloak does not happen. Sew it, too, can be different. This is either a long (almost to the toe) cloak-cloak, trimmed over the collar, the floors and the bottom "ermine", or short, to the middle of the thighs. The color of the mantle can be blue, blue, red. As a rule, it should coincide with the coloring of the trousers. You can even use the same material - velvet, dense drapery silk or satin. The main condition - to look a cloak should be rich, elegantly. Dimensions of the panel - about 1-1.5 meters by 2. After making a pattern and cutting the material into blanks, with your hands or a machine, stitch the mantle, sew the trim. Instead of fur, white fringing is suitable, which can be corrected with a black felt-tip pen, causing "specks". It is such a cloak from most fairy-tale monarchs from films. If the mother can sew, at the same time there is some spare time, the mantle can still be decorated with a Christmas tree, so that it gives more shine to His Majesty, because it is the carnival costume of the king!
A few words about the crown
Here, no one should have any difficulties. To make a royal crown - which could be easier! Take a sheet of cardboard of this width, so that he could hold his head in reserve. Select the height of your own. Draw a simple pencil cogs, trying to be the same. And cut out the workpiece. Connect the ends in a circle with paper clips or glue. Dye the crown with bronze paint or glue it with foil. To suit the children's king was more "regal" appearance, on the headdress, paste beads, rhinestones or pieces of rain. If you are more suitable for a wide-brimmed hat or a royal beret, take care to decorate them with a large brooch and feathers - enough for a beret and one, for a hat you need a plume more. You can buy feathers in the sewing accessories store. Or instead of them to use a magnificent Christmas tree rain. The latter is even preferable, since it corresponds more to the New Year's entourage.
How to make a sword
For the sword you need a fairly long, not less than a meter, wooden rack or a window bead. They should be rather thinly stripped, sanded with sandpaper and painted with silver. As a handle, a conventional tin can or a plastic cover is suitable. They will need to be "ennobled" with the help of foil and rain. If there are no wooden materials, pick up the steel wire rod and wrap it with silver foil. True, both types of swords are not entirely desirable for kings from kindergarten or primary school. For them, parents can this symbol of noble honor to cut out all of the same cardboard. To prevent the sword from wrinkling and accidentally break, make two identical blanks and glue together. Handle also cardboard. And paint all the usual gouache paints.
