Sundress. To make a children's sundress for a girl, you will need 5 - 6 years. 70 centimeters of orange satin, 50 centimeters.

Many guys like the image of the Russian hero. If you want to please your boy, you can make this costume for a matinee with your own hands. The main attributes of the costume are a helmet, sword, boots.

We offer you step-by-step instructions on how to create a Russian warrior costume with your own hands.

Costume base

First you need to study the photos and illustrations with the characters, as well as look into the wardrobe. Maybe there are things that can be suitable for creating a fancy dress. The main elements of the outfit are a loose-fitting shirt and pants.

Shirt

For this we you will need a shirt with a stand-up collar or an ordinary shirt itself, from which you need to cut off the collar.

After that sews a border along the edge of the collar and armholes. You can buy it at any craft store. We sew the cuffs on the sleeves with the same braid.

Trousers

Pants for a fairy-tale character must be plain. So you can not sew special trousers, but use those that already exist.

REFERENCE. A suitable option for costume pants for a hero can even be trousers from a school uniform.

Cape (cloak)

To make a cape you will need a rectangular piece of red material. An excellent option for a cape would be satin or silk.

You can decorate the raincoat with a silver ribbon, which must be sewn over the entire surface of the product.

On one side, the cape is going to elastic, you guessed it, it will be the top. We make two ties on both sides so that the child can tie a raincoat.

You can also depict the emblem of a fairy-tale character on the back - embroider with threads or draw with paints.

IMPORTANT! The first option will take more time. If you need the costume urgently, paint the emblem with acrylic paints.

Important details of the heroic image

Having prepared the basis, we move on to the details that will help create a “heroic” image.

Helmet

Our fairy-tale hero cannot do without a helmet. You can build it from improvised material.

For this we need:

  • plastic bottle;
  • large plastic glass;
  • silver paint;
  • scotch;
  • scissors.

To start cutting out a base from a plastic bottle.

A cone is made from a glass. The bottom is cut off, and the workpiece is cut along a vertical line. We form a cone from it and attach it to our bubble blank. To do this, we need double-sided tape.

So the helmet is ready, let's move on to creating the remaining attributes for the hero.

Boots

First you need to take a measurement from the baby's legs and make a pattern. We transfer the drawing to the material.

IMPORTANT! Please note that a seam allowance of at least 1 cm must be made.

The sole can be made from a carpet or a piece of linoleum.

  • Cut out all the details of the boots and iron. After that, we add a sealant to each element of the boot, for example, a synthetic winterizer, so that the shoes keep their shape.
  • We fold the details with the right side and stitch all the seams. After that, we try on the child's leg.
  • Next, we pin the fabric base to the sole with pins. We begin to sew the sole with our hands, because the sewing machine will not sew such a dense material as linoleum.

Boots for our hero are ready.

Sword or spear

If you already have a ready-made sword and spear for a child, then you can safely take it for a matinee. But if this is not the case, then it can simply be made from cardboard and paper.

ATTENTION! The sword and spear must first of all be safe for the baby and his environment.

It is necessary to print a sketch of the workpiece, transfer it to cardboard. It is advisable to make several blanks that stick together. This is necessary for the product to be stronger.

We repaint the finished blanks in silver color. The handle of the sword can be decorated with foil or wrapped with strong threads. In addition, you can apply a pattern to the finished product.

Shield

Make a shield in the shape of a circle. Repaint also in a silver shade and decorate with foil. You can also apply the coat of arms of a fairy-tale character. Sew an elastic band on the inside so that the baby can hold the sword in his hands.

When making a carnival costume, give free rein to your imagination and ingenuity. You can literally make an outfit from ordinary things that, it would seem, are not at all intended for this. But remember that you should not use a lot of accessories. Stick to a strictly masculine image when creating an outfit for a hero.

First, let's decide what the attire consists of, this:

  • shirt;
  • trousers;
  • chain mail;
  • cloak;
  • boots;
  • helmet;


Let's start with the shirt. To sew it, you need to cook:
  • gray, white cotton or linen fabric;
  • braid;
  • threads;
  • scissors;
  • lace;
  • buttons.
To sew a shirt, the pattern will be used very simple.


As you can see, you will need a single part of the back and front, draw an oval on their border, which will become the neck. On the shelf just to the left of the center, make a slot so that the child can wear this shirt. The sleeves are also rectangles.

Attach the first piece of the sleeve to the part of the front and back, aligning their center with the neck. To do this, focus on the dotted line drawn on the pattern. Sew first the first, then the second sleeve with the main part.

Now fold the shirt in half, sew the side seams of the front and back, as well as the sleeves. Use an overlock to process seams.


Trim the bottom of the shirt with braid, wrapping its edges.


Sleeves can be shaped in two ways. For the first, first tuck them in to form a drawstring, sew the braid here, then insert the elastic into the drawstring. For the second method, you must first turn up the sleeves, stitch, thread an elastic band here, and then sew a braid on your hands. But then you need to make the sleeves a little wider in this place so that the elastic does not squeeze the hands.


With the same braid, process the neckline and neckline.


As you can see, the lower part of the braid on the cut needs to be bent to get two symmetrical corners. When attaching the braid, fold the main fabric so that it does not fray.


Sew a button and a thin cord near the neck, bending it in the form of a loop.


To make a belt, weave a braid of three laces. They can be the same or different colors.


You can sew pants without a pattern. To do this, attach the front and back panel of the boy's trousers to the fabric, cut out with allowances for the seams. Next, the legs are sewn in the center on the sides. When cutting, add a little more so that the boy can freely take off and put on his trousers. To keep them well at the waist, make a lapel here, stitch it, thread the elastic. Hem the bottom of the trousers, after which they can be put on the child.

How to make a heroic cape?

First prepare:

  • scarlet fabric;
  • golden slanting inlay;
  • big button;
  • linen gum.
Let's start cutting this piece of clothing. To determine the width of the fabric for the raincoat, have the child release their arms along the torso. Measure its volume around the elbows. The length of the product is measured from the neck to the bottom of the hips on the back. You will get a rectangle, round off its two corners at the bottom.

To sew a raincoat cape, you just need to turn the product around the perimeter on three sides with an oblique trim.


Tuck the fabric at the neckline, stitch it in this position, insert the elastic here. From the same edging braid, make a loop, sew it to the top of the raincoat, attach a button on the other side.


Here's how to sew a raincoat. To make boots, you can pull out the inner warm liners from rubber boots, edging them with braid to make heroic shoes. If you do not have such a detail, then sew suede soles to red wool socks. Also get boots.

You can limit the creation of the image to this or continue to make the hero's costume for the boy. With your own hands, you need to make the next piece of clothing.

How to make a hero's chain mail - 3 ways

Let's consider three options. To implement the first idea, we will knit it, the second method will show how to weave chain mail from wire. The third idea will reveal the secret of creating a hero's protective clothing from coins.

  1. To knit chain mail, type an odd number of loops on the knitting needles. Remove the first loop, then knit this row with facial ones.
  2. Also remove the first loop of the second row, tie the second loop with the front one, remove the third loop so that the thread is at work. Perform the fourth loop with the front one, remove the next one, knit using this technology to the end of the row.
  3. The next, third row, consists of facial loops. 4 row repeats the knitting of the second. The fifth row is identical to the first and third.
  4. Using the same technology, continue to knit further. Here is the drawing you will get.


Always end rows by purling the last stitch. By turning the fabric over, you will remove this loop at the beginning of the next row.


You can knit chain mail in the form of a vest or sweater. In the second case, you will need to create sleeves.

Now see how to make chain mail using coins. Often such a trifle as 10 or 50 kopecks. lying around as useless at home or simply thrown away, although they can be used.

Take:

  • identical coins of low denomination;
  • drill with a thin drill;
  • steel engraving washers;
  • pliers.
After fixing the coins in a vise, make 4 holes in each with a drill. Now you need to fasten them element by element using engraving washers, bend the ends of those with pliers.


The next method is more painstaking, but it will be useful to those who do not yet know how to make chain mail with their own hands, and they need this piece of clothing for a costume ball or playing a theatrical performance with the participation of heroes.

For such chain mail you will need serious tools, these are:

  • vise;
  • pliers;
  • device on which you will wind the wire;
  • side cutters, which are used as a hacksaw or scissors for metal;
  • gloves.

The main material is wire. Aluminum will not fit categorically, as it is too soft. You need to take steel or copper.


Steel wire is the easiest to buy or get, and copper is harder. See how to make a wire winding tool. Below is its diagram.


Insert the tip of the wire into the hole of the tool, wind it around the rod. Then - “bite off” with pliers and stretch so that there is a small distance between each turn. Cut this spring into rings. Make a lot of these blanks.

Now each of them needs to be aligned with pliers, then squeeze with the same tool to connect the ends of each ring.


Choose a weaving method from the presented ones, use it to connect the rings into a canvas. Here's how to make chain mail using the "elementary cell" weaving pattern. To do this, take 4 rings, thread one ring that has not yet been closed into them. Connect its ends, straighten it to make a blank of 5 rings.


How the hero's chain mail is made using the "rope" method is also clearly explained by the diagram. As you can see, the rings of subsequent rows are passed through the rings of the previous ones. There are other interesting weaving methods, such as "dragon scales".


Using any of these weaves, you need to make a few details:
  • front;
  • back;
  • two sleeves;
  • 2 straps.
We will use the method of assembling parts, which is called the "apron". It lives up to its name, because first you connect the chest and back with straps to make a kind of apron. After that, you need to braid both sleeves.


There is still a little bit left for the hero's costume to be completely ready. See how to make his weapons, but for kids.

How to make a hero's sword from a ball or cardboard?

You can create it using the most unexpected materials. See how to make a balloon sword. The creation of various figures, items from balloons is called twisting. If you are making a hero costume for a child, a balloon sword would be a great solution. Such weapons are completely safe, children can organize tournaments using them.

So let's get started. Inflate a long balloon with a special pump, tie it, bend it as shown in the photo.


Make another identical turn.


Find the center of this figure, twist it with the remaining free long end of the ball.


You have the handle of the sword, and on the other hand - its safe blade.


Now you can start a fun game by arranging a competition of heroes or.

How to make a hero's sword out of paper and luminous?


For paper, you will need the following materials:
  • a sheet of colored paper;
  • scissors;
  • scotch.
Lay a sheet of paper in front of you, cut off a quarter from its smaller side. Fold this small blank along the width, and the large one along the length.


Lay the small piece on top of the larger one crosswise. Secure these two pieces with tape. Sharpen the lower part, for this you need to press here on one side and on the other, fix it with tape.


Here's how to make a paper sword quickly. Consider the second method of its manufacture from other materials. With such weapons, you can imagine yourself as a fantasy hero, and not just a hero.


Here's what you need to implement your plan:
  • cardboard or thick paper;
  • polycarbonate;
  • transparent sealant;
  • strip of skin;
  • luminous paint;
  • glue gun;
  • foam board;
  • scissors;
  • pen.
See how to make a lightsaber. Redraw on cardboard or print the following diagram. As you can see, on it the sword consists of three parts, after copying you will just need to match them.


Attach this template to a piece of colorless polycarbonate from which you want to cut two identical blanks.


Lubricate the edges of one part with a small amount of transparent sealant, place the second on top of it, press to connect both blanks. Cut out two identical parts for one and for the back of the handle, glue them in place.


Let the adhesive sealant dry. After that, rewind the sword hilt with a strip of leather. Just below it, on the top of the blade, make a small hole with a drill. This is where you stretch the nozzle of the syringe or tube with paint. Fill the sword with this glowing solution.


It looks especially impressive in the dark. If you decide to celebrate the birthday of a boy on the theme of animated films about heroes, then dim the lights, and the child will come out in the appropriate attire, holding a sword in his hands. The spectacle will be mesmerizing.

The fairy tale "Three heroes" - a script for a boy's birthday


How to make a hero costume, you already know. For this event, you will need 3 of them. The heroes can be a birthday man and his two friends, or three adults. You will also need a Baba Yaga costume, making it is quite easy. To do this, you need a wide skirt, jacket, apron. A scarf is tied around the head, makeup must be applied to the face.

So the birthday begins. When everyone has gathered, the adults say that now three heroes will come to the birthday man. But suddenly the Baba Yaga runs in and loudly complains that the heroes do not give her life. She tries to mischief, but they always interfere with her. Therefore, the old woman decided to teach them a lesson and bewitched them. With these words, Baba Yaga takes out a picture depicting heroes. She says that now they will not interfere, as they have turned into painted ones.


But the guys can disenchant them if they cope with difficult tests. Adults ask if the guys are ready for them? The kids certainly agree. Then Baba Yaga announces the first birthday contest.

Competition: "Find gems"

She says that she needs the gems to be found. For this competition, you need to prepare in advance:

  • cereals;
  • 2-3 bowls;
  • 20-30 aquarium stones;
  • sweets or voluminous stickers to be awarded to participants.
Depending on how many children have gathered, you need to divide them into two or three teams. Take the same number of bowls, pour cereal into it, bury 10 stones in each container. On command, the guys begin to take out these pebbles from there, then these finds must be given to Baba Yaga. She announces that the children have done well.

The next competition should be calm so that they rest. Prepare in advance the riddles that Baba Yaga will ask the guys. Of course they will guess them.

Competition "Tug of war"

On the one hand, Baba Yaga is trying to pull the rope, on the other hand, children are doing it. Of course they win.

The harmful old woman has no choice but to say that the guys have proven that they are kind, smart, have a heroic power. Now we have to return the heroes. Baba Yaga leaves, they appear. A fun theme song would be appropriate here.

The heroes say that they came with cheerful songs with heroic games. The next contest is great when you are designing a birthday script for a boy who is 10 years old or so.

Fun competitive game "Don't drop the egg"


Let each team line up in a chain, give the first participant a spoon in which he will put a boiled egg. Everyone in turn needs to run to the far point, then go back to pass this trophy to the second team members, then the next.

It is better to take not a real egg, but a plastic ball similar to this object or a wooden one so that children do not break it.


If someone has a trophy, you need to put it back in the spoon and continue moving on.

2 bowling contests


Skittles will be needed for the next contest. They need to be arranged in a chain, run around in a zigzag manner and return back in the same way or in a straight line. Skittles can be seen as plastic water bottles or. filled with sand.

When developing a script for a boy's birthday, which you plan to spend in the country, in the yard or in nature, be sure to include another fun mobile contest. To do this, you need to prepare or bring with you:

Any of these items need to get into the basket, and if you are in nature and did not take it with you, then draw a target on a dark tree so that the child gets into it.

And here is an interesting contest, which must certainly be at the heroic birthday.

Game-competition "Cart"

Each hero will take a child from his team by the legs, he must run in his arms along a certain path. But here you need to make sure that there are no stones and sharp objects on the road. The one who completes this task the fastest is the winner.

If you are thinking about how to develop a script for a boy's birthday at home with contests, there will also be no problem. If you have a large room with little furniture, then the cart game you just read about will work just fine, as will the next one.

Competition "Russian Spit"

For it you will need:

As a result, very funny figures will turn out, be sure to capture this on a camera, on a camera. After such fun entertainment, it's time to sit down at the table to celebrate the boy's birthday.

If you still have any questions regarding how to make a hero costume, you can find the answers to them in the following videos on this topic.

The latter will teach you how to make a helmet with your own hands. It will complement the heroic attire.

There are few instructions on how to make a do-it-yourself hero costume. As a guide, you can use the book "Children's Party Costumes" by Olga Kontareva. More "advanced" home masters act without other people's instructions, based on their own ideas about the image. Making a New Year's outfit according to your own project is very exciting and can be great entertainment for the parents themselves.

As a sketch of a fancy dress, any detailed illustration from a children's book, a picture or even a screen from "Three Heroes" can be accepted. The costume consists of the following elements:

  • Pointed helmet with nose protection.
  • Mail or scaly shell.
  • Shirt with an embroidered border and a high collar.
  • Boots with pointed toes.
  • Sword and round shield.

Each of these items can be made by hand, without any special financial costs.

Heroic helmet

The headdress of the ancient Russian warrior has a pointed shape, thanks to which the hero's costume begins to claim historical originality. For its manufacture you will need:

  • Cardboard.
  • Thin braid or cord.
  • PVA glue.
  • Paint with aluminum powder or "silver" in a spray can.

It is necessary to stock up on tools in the form of sharp scissors or a paper knife, a brush, a stapler and napkins for hands.

The very process of making a heroic helmet is as follows:

  1. Parts of the future heroic headdress are cut out of cardboard. The parts are glued together according to the allowances on the folds, which, for reliability, should be stapled on the inside.
  2. In places of "seams", that is, the places where the cardboard joins, it is necessary to start up the braid, laying it out in a neat pattern in the form of a Christmas tree or a wave. The decor will cover the joints.
  3. Then it is evenly covered with silver paint. For more elegance, the edge of the dress can be painted in gold or black. Metallic sheen to the product will give a transparent nail polish.

Mail and shirt

A New Year's costume of a hero is impossible without chain mail up to the middle of the thigh. You can do it in any of the following ways:

  1. Any plain knit sweater can be turned into armor. To do this, you need to pull it on the legs of a stool or another shape and cover it with a "silver" from an aerosol can. The resulting chain mail will be light and comfortable, but wearing it can be unpleasant due to the smell.
  2. A scaly shell can decorate a hero's costume, turning an ordinary warrior into a governor. To create it, cut out the details in the form of a rectangle measuring 1x2 cm with one rounded side. As a material, you can use very thick foil, thin linoleum, the cover of a plastic folder.

The complexity of making chain mail "dragon scales" is that each detail must be dyed, both from the front and from the wrong side. After drying, they are carefully sewn onto a sleeveless jacket made of dense fabric. Rows of scales begin to lead from below in a checkerboard pattern and each next row is laid with an overlap of half the length.

Another bright element is a shirt protruding from under the chain mail skirt by 10-12 cm and decorated with a similar decor.

Boots and pants

A hero costume for a boy is impossible without boots with curved toes or figured tops. You won’t find these in shoe stores, and custom tailoring is very expensive. But from improvised means, you can easily make fabric covers that are worn over ordinary boots or even sneakers. Their production consists of the following steps:

  1. From a dense fabric, elements of fake boots are cut out according to measurements taken over the shoes. Cutting should be carried out with an allowance of 1 cm.
  2. Details are sewn on the inside. A piece of cardboard is inserted into the bootleg to preserve the figured edge and fixed with an adhesive cloth.
  3. The fabric cover is attached to the boot from the inside using clothes hooks or double-sided tape.

The pants of the ancient Russian warrior have a cut of "training pants" and a monochromatic coloring, without patterns and decorations. So you can not pick up a separate thing in the hero’s suit, but get by with ordinary trousers. You can even use part of a school uniform, after smoothing the arrows.

Sword and shield

Fake weapons and equipment will make the outfit for the New Year's party more spectacular. In addition, they can be set aside at any time to participate in active games. As a rule, the hero's costume is supplemented with the following items:

Straight sword in sheath. This item is cut out of a sheet of boxboard and pasted over with paper, after which it is painted. To decorate the handle, you can use rhinestones, beads or pieces of colored plastic.

Light shield. Complex shapes are intended for European knights, and circles and ovals are associated with Slavic warriors. Decorative shield consists of several parts:

  • The base is a circle of 2 layers of cardboard. Its diameter is equal to the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow of the boy's hand.
  • The border is in the form of a hoop 2-3 cm wide. Its inner edge can be figuratively cut.
  • The central figure is in the form of a silhouette of the sun, a three-headed dragon or a monogram.

The elements of the shield are pasted over with paper, painted, and only after that they are combined into one whole.

When making a hero's costume with your own hands, you need to give free rein to your imagination and worldly ingenuity, which allows you to give ordinary things a new purpose. And at the same time, it is important not to overdo it with decorations and details. It is important to remember that the hero is a strict male image.
