Christmas tree costume for the New Year - a master class with step by step photos

  1. If you already have a green jacket, all that remains is to make a skirt. She will need tulle. Cut three strips of this material 2 times as wide as the girl's hips.
  2. Put the middle one on the largest strip. Then place a small one on this one. Match all the details so that they converge at the waist.
  3. Sew a green satin ribbon here on the inside so that there is space on the side for threading a wide elastic band. Put it here, fix it.
  4. Decorate the dress with satin ribbon bows.

If you don't have a ready-made base t-shirt, you can sew one or a dress yourself. To do this, it is enough to attach any child’s T-shirt or a simple girl’s dress to the newspaper, circle, cut it out.


But it will be necessary to try on the pattern for the girl so that adjustments can be made. Sew wide sleeves here, collect them with an elastic band. If you are using a T-shirt, then make a skirt using the method above. If you have a dress, then you can cut out frills of almost the same length and stitch them sequentially to the hem.

You can sew a Christmas tree costume for the New Year in another way.


The base is created from matter, as for the previous model, but the shuttlecocks must be pre-processed with an overlock or sewn to the edge with a braid. Then they will be fixed and will be lush. Using chalk or soap, mark the location of the flounces on the dress, sew them here, starting from the line of the bodice and ending with the edge of the hem. If you want a Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year to be elegant and lush, then we suggest creating the next one.


For this model take:
  • satin fabric;
  • beads;
  • green and blue tulle;
  • wide rubber band.
Cut the tulle into squares with a side of 10 cm. Fold the adjacent sides and stitch them along the edge. Turn the blank on the front side, you should get a kind of bags. Subsequently, you will sew them at the corner to the base of the dress, which you will sew from green or blue satin.

From the same fabric, make the top for the Christmas tree by sewing the fabric in the form of a cap. To keep it well, sew an elastic band into the lower part, which should be slightly less than the volume of the girl's head. Sew tulle bags on this cap as well. Decorate the outfit with beads.

Taking tulle 3 times more than the volume of the child's hips, you can make beautiful frills out of it. Alternate them with gathered satin stripes. To keep these rectangles in shape and look neat, fold them in half first.

A light cape will complement the girl's outfit for the New Year.


If you need to quickly sew a suit, then use the existing t-shirt. It can be blue or green, or include these two shades or have a white color. If the upper part of the costume is light and plain, then sew green fabric bows to it. Gathered tulle of this color will become a skirt. Just do not forget about the petticoat, as this fabric is transparent.


The cape will perfectly complement the New Year's costume. Use a shiny green fabric for this part and for the skirt. It will be enough to decorate it with tinsel, sewing it along the edge and making various curls out of it.


It will be even clearer that this is a Christmas tree costume for the New Year if you sew a cap for the girl from the same material.


Instead, you can decorate the head of the child with a rim. First, wrap the base with green tape, gluing these two materials together. Then create from green and yellow satin ribbons, make flowers out of them, glue on the rim. If you want to finish the job as soon as possible, then make a small Christmas tree out of these elements, decorate it with a red bow and pompom and glue it to the center of the hoop.


You can decorate the Christmas tree costume in various ways. For this, use pompoms sewn from fabric and stuffed with padding polyester or made from threads.


You can decorate the girl's outfit with tinsel, beads, just securely fix small elements.

Princess costume for the New Year


What girl doesn't want to be a princess? Make your baby an outfit of such a heroine. You can use an existing dress. See how to turn a skirt into such a fluffy one. In the following figure, arrows are drawn along which stitches are to be made. Dimensions are given in inches, but it is easy to convert them to centimeters if you know that there are 2.54 cm in one inch.

You can make the arrows of the length you need, keeping in mind that the central stitch is the longest, the other two, symmetrically located on either side of it, are a little shorter, and the side stitches are the shortest.


When you sew on a typewriter or on your hands, you need to pull the ends of the threads to pick them up. Firmly fix the threads, straighten the skirt, you get such a beauty.


Put on the girl a tulle petticoat down, and a crown on her head, which can be made from colored cardboard.


You will learn how to create it a little later, but for now, see how to sew a princess costume simply and quickly. Here's what you'll need to make the outfit:
  • the girl's old dress, which is just right for her;
  • 1 m of white cloth;
  • pink or blue matter - 2 m;
  • oblique inlay;
  • zipper or Velcro;
  • rubber;
  • auxiliary tools.
Fold the dress in half, place it on large paper or newspaper, outline, cut out this pattern.


Now attach this base to the fabric folded in half, fix with pins, cut along the contour, leaving allowances for the seams.


The back of the dress consists of two identical parts, cut out in a mirror image. Tuck the center edges of each, sew, sew a zipper here or sew on Velcro.


The front part is decorated with an insert, which is trimmed with braid.


Cut out two sleeves and cuffs for them.


To know how long the cuff is, measure the volume of the girl’s arm. The sleeves themselves should be more puffy so that they can be pulled up. But first, fold each cuff in half, and only then insert it between the halves of the gathered sleeve part.


Now each sleeve needs to be put into its armhole, slightly gathered and fixed with safety pins or basted with a thread and a needle.


If you have tails on the right and left of the skirt, then you need to cut them out and then sew them to the bodice.


To make the New Year's dress for the girl further, cut out the skirt. To do this, you need to cut a rectangle, the width of which is one and a half times the diameter of the hips. You will determine the length directly for the child. Stitch the sides and bottom of the skirt, gather it on top, sew it to the bodice.


Trim the neckline with bias tape.


This is such an elegant dress. If a girl likes Princess Sofia, you can please the child with the outfit of this heroine.


Below is a bodice pattern for a girl. If it suits your child, take it as a basis. If not, then try increasing or decreasing this pattern by adding or removing a little in the center.


Attach the paper base to the child, if everything suits you, then you can place it on the satin fabric and cut it out according to the markup, making allowances for the seams.

To make it more pleasant for a girl to wear a dress, cut out the details of the bodice not only from silk, but also from cotton fabric, which will become a lining.

For the sleeves, one satin fabric is enough, make them semicircular, turn and hem the bottom.


Make a petticoat from white satin, sewing a lilac satin braid along the bottom. The same color will be needed for the skirt. It is necessary to cut 4 pear-shaped parts from this fabric.


From a white satin fabric, cut out a square with sides of 24 cm, draw a flower with four petals on it.


To prevent the edges of the appliqué from crumbling, process them over a candle flame. Sew decorative pieces onto skirt wedges. Sew sequins or beads along the edge of the skirt.

Open two semicircular frills, process them and decorate. Sew on both sides to the top of the skirt, and then sew the skirt to the bodice.

This is such a wonderful princess dress.


Now see how to make the main accessory for this outfit.

How to make a princess crown?


Here it will turn out to be such a light openwork. For this you need to take:
  • wide lace;
  • PVC glue;
  • brush;
  • scissors;
  • sequins;
  • acrylic paint;
  • round object.
Measure the diameter of the child's head. The same size you need to cut off the lace. Dissolve PVA glue in water in the same proportion, apply this mass with a brush on the lace, and if necessary, then paint with acrylic paint. While the workpiece is not dry, wrap it around a round object, gluing the ends together. When it is completely dry, you can put the crown on the head of the little princess.

You can also make this accessory out of felt, complementing the outfit with a magic wand. To do this, take:

  • patches of felt 2-3 colors;
  • a needle and thread;
  • satin ribbons;
  • scissors;
  • bezel.
Wrap the bezel with a strip of felt, periodically wedging this material. From the fabric, cut out the blank of the crown itself so that you can fold it in half, which you will do. Secure it in this position by sewing shiny sequins here. From the remnants of the material, cut out several stars of different sizes. Glue them together, attach satin ribbons and a stick.


You can make a crown even from improvised material. If you need a small one, then use a toilet paper roll. The upper part must be cut in a zigzag pattern, attach a thin elastic band to the bottom. Decorate the blank with beads or sparkles, or you can glue pieces of colored paper here.


If you need a more spacious crown, then cut out a rectangle from cardboard, match and glue its edges. Decorate with this princess accessory.


If you know how to do, then twist them and glue them in such a sequence to get a chic crown with a snowflake.


In such a headdress, the princess will shine. You can also put it on for a girl depicting a snowflake or the Snow Queen on a New Year's party.

If you want to make a golden crown, then take:

  • cardboard of this color;
  • scissors;
  • sequins;
  • glue.
Cut the golden cardboard into 5 cm squares. Fold these blanks diagonally.


Put a little glue on the corner of the first workpiece, insert it partially into the second.


The third fragment will connect these two triangles. Thus create a crown according to the size of the child's head. If you do not have colored cardboard, then paint it with gold acrylic paint.

Very soon you will learn how to make a New Year's diadem crown, repeat the following master class after the craftswoman:

New Year's parties in kindergarten suggest that children will be dressed up in bright and unusual carnival costumes. One of the most popular looks for girls is Candy. However, from everything that is presented in stores, it is far from always possible to find a suitable option. Yes, today you can easily buy a New Year's candy costume for a girl aged 3, 5 and even 10 years old, but often this is not “what you need”. Then mothers begin to puzzle over how to make such an outfit on their own. This is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

Features of creating such an outfit

The main difficulty is that you need to create the right impression for the audience. That this girl today is just a candy, and not a princess or someone else. There are not so many options for this to check. Let's try to identify the features of "candy" outfits.

Headdress

This part of the costume will be mandatory, as it is the easiest to make it look like a real “candy in a wrapper”. Remember what an ordinary candy wrapped in a candy wrapper looks like. It ends with a cap, and the edge of the wrapper itself is twisted into a knot with a tail. This is exactly what the hat from the costume we need will look like. In addition, it must be combined in color with the rest of the outfit.

Main part

In fact, it can even be a ready-made dress, which every girl has a lot in her closet. So it won't be hard to find the right one. There are two most relevant options.

  • Fluffy and short. It is best if he has all sorts of frill frills that make the costume more elegant and brighter. Puff sleeves and a fluffy skirt are the best choice.
  • Narrow and long. It would seem that a dress that is completely opposite in appearance can fit. But it is this style that is easiest to turn into a real candy using ordinary materials.

Color selection

One has only to imagine a scattering of various caramels - in wrappers and on a stick - and it immediately becomes obvious which color is better to choose for the outfit. These are pastel or, as they are also called, caramel colors. Pink, blue, milky green, pale yellow and so on. It is also very good to add white to this basic shade. Then the impression will be much brighter.

Jewelry and decor

Of course, for a little beauty a must you need to choose the appropriate jewelry - beads, bows, "caramel" makeup and so on. Everything should match the color scheme chosen for the outfit.

Bright rosy cheeks and glossy lips can be easily done with mom's blush or special skin paints and lip balm. Such makeup, even for a baby, will be harmless, but will add credibility and charm to the image.

The outfit itself also needs decoration. Dig into old stock - forgotten glass jewelry, bright fabrics, foil and, of course, candy! These were the main features of the costume to be made for the baby for the New Year or Christmas party. Now let's take a closer look at all the stages of work and options that can be considered when making a suit.

Variety one - with a finished dress

Having a suitable dress, you can also decorate it in different ways to make a beautiful carnival outfit for the baby. In each case, we will need various decorations and elements that will reflect the essence of the costume.

Option one - sweet

Real caramel in different bright wrappers will be used here. About a kilogram of decor will not be too much weight for a little girl, and the effect will be simply stunning. Materials:

  • Some tulle. Ideal - in tone with the dress itself, but you can take the usual white color.
  • Still need thick cardboard.
  • Colored paper in different shades, also suitable for the outfit.
  • Threads, glue, foam.

Now in more detail on the stages of work.

  • Caramel, without removing it from the wrappers, you need to decorate the dress itself. To do this, you just need to sew them by the tails to the fabric. You need to sew, observing a checkerboard pattern. At the same time, you can alternate the colors of the decorations.
  • In order not to tempt fate and not provoke my daughter's little colleagues, who will certainly appreciate the sweet dress and try to cut off the caramels, you can only use the wrappers themselves. To create volume, paper rolled up in the shape of a ball is placed inside each instead of candy, and the tails are twisted. Then it will be easier for the child to wear such an outfit.
  • Now - beads for the sweet princess. The same caramels of different types are sequentially tied to a thread by ponytails. To make it easier, you can string them with cellophane on a dense thread, like ordinary beads.

So the elegant costume of the sweet Candy is ready from improvised materials and without much time.

Option two - lush

The creation steps will be almost the same as for the "sweet" version. However, here significant changes have been made to the choice of decor for the dress. Instead of sweets, tulle, organza and large glass or plastic beads are used.

  1. We are preparing a large number of small fluffy and lush organza or tulle bows. We sew them to the dress, in the same way as in the previous version, caramels were located.
  2. You can make small frills from the same material and put them on the baby's arms and legs to balance the splendor of the dress.
  3. Everything else completely repeats the already described creation of the outfit - a hat and beads.
  4. The only difference is that you can make a foam candy not rectangular, but round. Then it will be better suited to the chosen image.

In both versions, you can decorate shoes with caramels, their layouts or bows. Then the correspondence to the image will be complete and the baby will be the center of attention at the holiday.

Variety two - creating an outfit from scratch

This method is more suitable for those who know how to sew at least a little. Here, from the "ready" will be only sandals and tights. Everything else is done entirely by hand.

Disposable suit

The ideal material for creating a one-time outfit is polysilk. This is a special packaging material that is produced on the basis of a thin and very durable polyethylene film. To the touch, this film resembles a thin silky fabric. It can be painted on both sides or just one. In this case, the other side is just silver. This variety is the best for a candy costume. After all, usually inside a bright wrapper, in which sweetness is wrapped, silver or golden foil is hidden. Polysilk has one very interesting property, which will be used in the process of creating a suit - it stretches well, practically does not tear (unless something sharp is wrapped in it) and wrinkles perfectly.

  • In order to make an outfit, you need to sew a narrow and long sheath dress approximately to the middle of the lower leg. This is quite simple, since the baby does not yet have magnificent forms, and the effect of a full fit is not needed. To do this, take any fabric that is in the house.
  • Such a dress will have a frill in the form of a candy tail sewn at the very bottom. Its width is approximately 10 centimeters.
  • Sleeves can be made in the same way. And it is not necessary to make a dress with sleeves. It will be quite enough tubes-sleeves, which can be removed or put on again at any time.
  • On the finished product, you need to sew a layer of polysilk, which will play the role of wrapping paper. Moreover, frills can be sewn in small strips, and not entirely. This will not affect the effect of the outfit at all.
  • Then everything is simple. We prepare a hat from the same material according to the principle already described. Polysilk is quite suitable for this. You can even choose a polysilk of a different color for the cap and the bottom of the dress.
  • The whole outfit is additionally decorated with bows or wrappers. Now, putting all this on a child, you can see the real candy.

round candy

All stages of making a headdress and decorating remain the same as before. Only the very basis of the costume changes - the dress. It will take a completely different form.

  • The central part is made of satin or similar fabric. An elastic band is drawn in at the hips and at the top, which collects part of the material, giving everything else a ball-like shape.
  • The lower part is a long fluffy frill that acts as a skirt. The upper part is the same frill. The whole dress can be held both on the straps and on the already existing elastic bands.
  • Ruffles can be made from tulle, organza or tulle. You can decorate the central part not only with bows, but also with thin strips of fabric sewn obliquely in contrasting colors.

Here are some options for creating a Candy costume for a little girl. Any of them can be taken as a basis and finalized by expanding or changing the decor. Then your baby will be the most beautiful at the children's party.

There is no time, so they just buy the mask of the desired animal or the crown for the princess. The rest of the child's costume is familiar - a beautiful dress for a girl, a white shirt with trousers for a boy. But how to make a candy costume for a girl for the New Year, when she got such an original role?

The candy is not an animal and you cannot buy a mask for it. The audience should clearly understand what role the child is playing, and it will be easier for the baby himself to feel like the assigned character when he is in the right costume.

Purchased

Of course, you can just buy a candy suit for the New Year. Moreover, in any city there is a store with festive costumes and various accessories for them. However, the average cost of such an outfit is decent, especially if you look at good quality suits made from natural types of fabric. Is it worth spending so much on one time? After all, by next year the child will be given a different role or he will simply grow out of his costume.



Other moms are looking for sections of ads where their colleagues sell suits. Matinees did not appear yesterday. Many parents, after wearing unnecessary baby items, strollers, are sold at a good discount. There is a chance to find the right suit there, but it is really small. Especially when there is little time left to prepare the image. And some people disdain to wear already worn things, especially to give them to their children. Even after washing.




To rent? Theater groups have similar costumes, but usually there are adult clothes, there is little chance of finding exactly the right size for children. Sometimes different costumes and beautiful dresses are rented by special agencies. Also not the fact that there is that size. With children's clothing it is more difficult, because it is searched for a certain age and height, physique.
Order? Sewing studios also charge decently when parents do not know how to make a suit on their own.

Here are the main options that every mom goes through. At a certain time, she needs to make a costume for a candy or any other character given to her child for a matinee.

DIY suit

Is everything really that complicated? Here, the child is nearby, take any measurements, measure while sewing. Any fabric or sequins can be purchased at a sewing store. Skilled needlewomen will say that it’s not difficult to sew a candy suit with your own hands, the main thing is to know the stages of work, what the outfit actually consists of. After all, Candy is an atypical image, it is much easier to dress up as a princess or a fairy. Here, the usual puffy dress is not quite suitable. Perhaps it will be possible to complement an existing outfit?




Important: the main task is to make it clear to everyone present that this is sweetie.

What needs to be added to the outfit?

Headdress

For such an atypical costume for the New Year, a do-it-yourself hat is an important part. It will help create 80% of the impression of sweetness. Suffice it to remember what is at the top of any candy? A cute cap or bright bow with a knot. Start with this and then, already creating a dress, make sure that it is the same color as the cap.




For a hat, it is also important: the comfort of wearing, so that it fits snugly and looks beautiful, like the top of a real candy. The photo shows a cardboard base wrapped in a mesh wrap.

Main part

Here you can not bother much. Surely your fashionista already has a prepared dress for the evening. When making a hat, it is better to focus on it. A do-it-yourself outfit for a girl for the image of Candy should not be long, it is better to be lush, bright and short with different frills, roses and ruffles.




Or narrow, elongated. It is easier to complement it with ribbons and other decorations to create an image. Therefore, you do not need to take an outfit separately.

Choosing a color

Imagine a variety of sweets in bright, shiny wrappers. It is not necessary to tie the image to a specific candy. For example, you should not turn your child into a walking Kis-Kis toffee or your favorite candy bar. Here, pick up caramel shades. Favorite girls pink or blue, also milky green or light yellow.




They are easier to decorate with. White fits perfectly. Surely in the closet of a little fashionista there is such a dress and most likely, more than one for making!

Decorations

The candy must be bright, memorable, but it is better not to overdo it with sparkles. Some use real candy or candy wrappers. Sewn on to the dress. But it is better to pick up different bows, beads, make a “caramel make-up”. Choose one specific type of sweet for inspiration. But do not try to repeat something exactly, but only push off, using it only as an example. Connect fantasy. Everything will do - forgotten old jewelry, cuts of multi-colored fabrics, foil.




Staff

Not required for Candy, but you can add a costume to make it more convincing. Let the girl have her staff in the form of a candy with ribbon bows or a round sweet on a stick. Such brightness will even remind something of summer, so loved by most children. Of course, it's warm in summer, holidays! Or, instead of a staff, make a craft of a huge candy and let him wear it, only choosing colors, focus on the general theme. The candy is bright, but not vulgar or strange.

Sweet caramel!

However, a beautiful and bright costume can be made without a finished dress. The top will be a white turtleneck or a long or short sleeve T-shirt (make sure the skin breathes and the child feels comfortable). Bottom - chiffon fluffy skirt. The candy image will be complemented by a beautiful matching hat. Something similar to a skullcap or a cap of Kazakh dancers. From scraps of the same chiffon, make a bright brooch on top and you're done. White tight tights and white shoes (or shoes).




chocolate bar

Several colors were used here, but the same fabric for a girl with her own hands. Take cuts of silk or satin, they look beautiful and shine. No additional decorations required. An original cap, because it is not necessary to make it like a skullcap with a tassel at the top. Suitable for children 4 years of age and older.

When suddenly there was a bright dress in the closet ...

Sometimes a girl has dresses so beautiful and bright that they do not require additional decorations. To create the right accent, complete the outfit with a headdress and make a separate accessory like a toy candy in the hands of a girl. Let him feel like a real candy fairy.

"Noble" candy

The look of the costume will largely depend on the candy you use for inspiration. There are toffees, chocolate bars or pyramids in a bright wrapper. Here's an example costume clearly based on the latest types of candy. Top with a bright tassel, to the bottom it expands with a fluffy skirt. Satin or silk fabric looks beautiful. Velvet, of course, has again become part of the trend, and it is convenient to sew suits from it. However, Candy is a light, bright image, velvet is too heavy and classic for it.

red candy

Remember such round sweets in lush wrappers? Here is a similar candy has become an example in this version of the dress. Here, from the finished parts, only a white turtleneck under the outfit and tights with shoes. The candy accent is given by the hat and the dress itself, where even the assembly is made at the bottom, as happens with real sweets. In addition to red, you can use yellow or green, they also go well with white.




Light and fluffy

However, it is not necessary to sew long dresses. Candy can be in shorts or with a short skirt. Here, a ready-made T-shirt with the desired pattern was complemented by beautiful sleeves, and at the bottom - a skirt of several lush flounces. Above - instead of a hat, a rim with a triangular candy.

Soon New Year's party in kindergarten or school? Don't know what to dress your daughter in? If you haven't decided on an idea yet, take a look at how the candy costume is made. It's not very difficult. The main thing is to make a headdress of a certain shape, resembling a wrapped candy wrapper, and the dress can simply be matched to the color. This option is quite versatile - it can be worn on the Christmas tree, and for a birthday, and for a thematic dance.

New Year's candy costume for a girl: models and options

Such an outfit can be performed in the form:

  • Dresses.
  • Skirts and blouses.
  • Blouses and panties.
  • Blouses and shorts.

The most important thing is that you have a headdress of the appropriate shape. Everything else is optional. In general, you can limit yourself to just a hat that resembles the wrapped tip of a candy wrapper. Make it the color of the existing elegant dress - and the costume is ready.

You can also complement the dress with a candy-shaped fabric appliqué, which can be easily sewn onto a purchased dress. To make an even more interesting candy costume, complete the outfit with a large souvenir voluminous candy made of cardboard and corrugated paper or fabric. You can just give it to the girl in her hand or come up with a version of the handbag.

If you have enough time and experience, sew your own suit completely according to any model, so that each item is made of the same material. Here, pay special attention to the color and quality of the fabric: it should be bright, elegant, and even better - shiny, iridescent. As for the shapes of things, you can choose any option - a dress or panties with a blouse. Decorate the lower edges of the legs, sleeves, skirt with frills from the same fabric or lace. This will resemble exactly the shape of sweets wrapped in a candy wrapper.

Tools and materials

To sew a candy costume, you will need the following:

  • Pattern paper (graph paper, tracing paper, newsprint or any other).
  • Pencil and ruler or ready-made printed template.
  • Scissors.
  • Textile.
  • Pins.
  • Tailor's chalk or remnant.
  • Threads with a needle for basting.
  • Sewing machine.
  • Decorative elements (sequins, beads, beads, lace; satin ribbons, tinsel).

As you can see, you don't need anything special. Every needlewoman has everything that is required. You will have to buy only the right fabric and threads of the appropriate color.

How to make a headdress

As already mentioned, the candy's costume can consist of both a dress and a blouse with a skirt, shorts or trousers, but a hat must be present in all options.

It is done as follows:

  1. Measure the circumference of the child's head at its widest point.
  2. Cut out a strip of whatman paper or cardboard that folds easily and does not break, that is, not corrugated from the box. You can choose the height at your discretion so that the headdress looks beautiful on the child's head. The minimum is usually 10 cm. Take the length in accordance with the measured head circumference plus the gluing allowance. Usually about 3 cm is added. If there is no strip of the desired length and width, you can glue a narrow strip from the back of the head.
  3. Roll up the strip and glue it with an overlap. You can use a stapler for greater strength.
  4. For decorative purposes, it is worth pasting over the surface with beautiful paper, or at least just a suitable color. It makes sense to do this step if you wrap the workpiece with a transparent material, if not, leave the brown cardboard as it is.
  5. Take the prepared fabric. Try on what size flap you need.
  6. Put the prepared material in one or more layers (you can make a blank from several patches of different shades, stacked one on top of the other).
  7. Wrap the cardboard ring around so that the loose ends stay on one side, which will be the top of the headpiece.
  8. Tie the loose parts of the fabric with a satin ribbon or beautiful braid.
  9. Sew on the fabric "wrap" decorative elements. If the material is transparent, decorations can be glued, on the contrary, on a cardboard base. Use candy-shaped elements cut out of colored paper, real small candies, beads, circles - in a word, what is at hand or seems suitable to you.

The hat is ready.

How to make decorative candy

No matter how you make the candy costume with your own hands, you can decorate it with the help of an additional accessory - a large candy that the girl can pick up or, if you attach a strap, put on as an original handbag. Candy can be made from foam, a cardboard box of a suitable size and shape, or from a sheet of cardboard.

The work is done like this:

  1. Cut a piece of Styrofoam to the appropriate size. If the thickness is small, make a blank from two identical thin ones. If you have a suitable box - just prepare it. If there is neither foam nor a box, take a sheet of cardboard and roll a tube out of it, as you did for a hat, glue the seam.
  2. Wrap the blank with corrugated paper.
  3. Tie the edges with ribbons to form a candy shape.
  4. If necessary, attach a loop or strap for ease of wearing.

Everything is done.
