Every mother knows these torments. What to do if a holiday or carnival at school, in kindergarten is approaching, but not dress? Nobody wants a favorite child to feel "worse than others" ... In fact, a costume made from improvised materials can be done in a matter of minutes. And the most interesting is that it is worth giving the child freedom of creativity - and you will witness a small miracle. Let him take advantage of the old things that lie in the attic, mezzanines, in suitcases ... Grandmother's gloves, mother's dresses and downy shawls, shawls and boots - and a suit of improvised materials is ready. Freedom of creativity is extremely important. In every house there are things that no one needs, but throw them away. From the fluffy gray Orenburg shawl you get ... the excellent wings of the eagle. Any belt can be used as a buckle for a cloak of a knight, a superhero. Suit from improvised materials implies the ultimate simplicity of manufacture. There to cut, here to pull together, to pin - and neither thread nor needles will be required.
Carnival costume from improvised materials is, for example, "man-TV" from an old box. Or a snow monster made of batting or felts. Any old sports leotard can turn into a suit from improvised materials: it's enough to use paints for fabrics, shawls ... even curtains. In the case will go and various accessories. For example, gloves. It is enough to cut off the fingers of the old mittens, pull them out in feathers and feathers, pre-greased with glue, and an excellent element of the carnival costume will be ready. Original costumes from improvised materials, ideas for which can be found in magazines for needlewomen, imply the use of all kinds of waste. Packing film, foam plastic, cardboard, old textile things - everything will go to use.
A costume made from improvised materials must have at least one bright and memorable detail. It can be a crown from a box and a foil or a mask of decorative paper. It is not necessary to look for complex patterns, sit at the sewing machine, buy expensive fabrics. Old boots can serve as a bright detail for the costume of a pirate or a hunter. To decorate the skin, acrylics are suitable. Tulle or organza for the curtain will become both the bridal veil, and the train of the princess or ... the wings of a butterfly or dragonfly. Wireframes can be made in minutes. Fasten everything easily with threads and glue - for example, in a gun. Convenient for such types of creativity special braid on fleece or flyfify. It is enough to enclose it between the parts that we want to connect and iron with a warm iron. Later such glue can be erased or stretched several times.
For self-made suits any packing materials, for example, meshes from vegetables and fruits, will fit. Just remember about safety: for young children, not all fit. For example, polyethylene or cellophane should not be used as a costume part. The same can be said about foam, and about grids - in general about anything that can hurt, or that the child is able to inhale or swallow.
