Cut off the required length - from the waist to the level of how long you want the skirt to be.

We arrange the fabric by color.

If we used a lot of tulle, the number of layers of the skirt for the Bird costume may increase. In this case, of course, the skirt will only benefit - it will be more magnificent.

We fasten all the layers of the skirt.

We sew them together.

Carnival costumes for children's parties are becoming increasingly popular. Gone are the days when everyone was just bunnies and snowflakes. Now everyone has their own role at the carnival, and it requires a more complex costume. There are many options, you can always buy ready-made. But if you have the time and desire to create, it’s better to sew one for the girl with your own hands. You can use a dress, skirt, tunic or jumpsuit as a basis.

We offer an interesting and original outfit in which your girl will flutter around the party like a real bird. In addition, it is easy to make and does not require special sewing skills.

Skirt

We are preparing a children's titmouse costume with a fluffy flared skirt in two layers. We use different textures and tulle in blue and yellow colors. Fabric consumption is approximate. Model parameters: height - 128 cm, waist - 60 cm, upper skirt length - 30 cm, lower skirt length - 37 cm.

The top of the product is made of blue satin, the bottom is made of yellow tulle. You will need:

• blue satin 1.5 m wide - 1.2 m;
• yellow tulle 1.5 m wide - 1.5 m;
• blue satin bias tape;
• blue decorative elastic band for belt - 55 cm;
• paper for patterns;
• scissors, measuring tape, chalk.

How to make a circle skirt pattern correctly?

To sew a titmouse costume for the New Year, we prepare a ¼ paper pattern. We make calculations:

• We calculate the radius - this is the width of the skirt at the waist: FROM: (2 * 3.14) = 60: 6.28 = 9.55 cm.

1. On our pattern, ½, which means we set aside 4.78 cm along the upper semicircle. Be sure to take into account that the skirt will be gathered at the waist, so we will deepen the waist line by 1-1.5 cm along the longitudinal thread.
2. From the center of the waist line, set aside the length of the skirt - 30 cm down and on the sides. Plus 2 cm - seam allowances.

• Connect the dots and cut out. Well, the titmouse costume pattern is ready.

• Let's move on to working with fabric. We start with the blue satin overskirt. We fold the fabric twice diagonally, pin the pattern to it, outline it, adding 2 cm to the seams and cut it out. There is no need to sew such a skirt on the sides; the circumference is complete. You need to gather the fabric at the waist.
• We do the same with tulle, adding 7 cm in length. And we also gather it at the waist. We connect both parts of the skirt and sew them to the belt, for which we use a decorative blue elastic band.
• We sew blue bias tape along the edges of the overskirt. Tulle does not need finishing. So, the skirt is ready. Let's move on to sewing the vest.

Vest

To sew a titmouse costume for a girl with your own hands, we use blue and yellow satin for the vest. We decorate the edges of the finished product with a feather ribbon. For a girl 128 cm tall you will need:

• blue satin - 35 cm;
• yellow satin - 35 cm;
• satin bias tape for finishing;
• decorative feather braid;
• paper for patterns.

The vest consists of three parts: the back back is blue and two front panels are yellow. We cut out the model from paper, as shown in the figure below, and outline it on the fabric, taking into account a seam allowance of up to 2 cm.

Cut and sew along the sides. We process the edges. We use blue feather ribbon as decoration. As an option, you can add yellow and black - the color of the titmouse's feathers. We decorate the entire vest along the edge. The same feathers can be sewn onto the raglan sleeves, which are worn under the vest. The color you can choose is blue. Decorate the tit's breast with a black tie. You can take a ready-made one or make it from leftover felt that is used for a hat.

Headdress

When creating a titmouse costume for a girl with your own hands, you need to think about the headdress. There are many options. This could be a headband with flowers and feathers, a bandana or a hat of different models. The main thing is that the primary colors are present: blue, yellow and black. In our case, we are sewing a felt hat with a visor in the shape of a bird’s beak. This material holds its shape perfectly, does not require additional processing of cut edges, and does not fade. If desired, you can replace it with other materials. So, you will need:

• felt in blue, yellow and black;
• white.

How to prepare the patterns is shown below.

Number 1 - beak, 2 - front shelf, 3 and 4 - side parts, 5 and 6 - back shelves, 7 - clasp.

We cut out all the details of the hat from paper, having previously made calculations. So, for parts 3 and 4, the length of the base is equal to the diameter of the head divided by 6. Then we lay out the patterns on the fabric, trace them, adding a little to the seams, cut them out and sew them together one by one. The beak is black, the rest of the details are blue and yellow, as shown in the picture. We cut out the eyes from white tape and glue them to the sides of the hat. The pupils can be drawn with a marker or cut out from leftover felt. Be sure to attach a clasp at the back. The attachment points are indicated on the pattern.

Well, I made my own titmouse costume for a girl. It remains to add a few details and you can go to the party.

Completing the image

As the basis of the outfit we use raglan with long sleeves in blue to match the skirt. We decorate it with a feather ribbon along the entire length of the sleeve. We put on matching ballet shoes, blue or black, on our feet. They can also be decorated with feathers on top.

Well, as you can see, nothing complicated. The image turned out to be light, airy and very elegant. Just in time for the holiday. We wish your titmouse good luck!

One of the most anticipated holidays for children is the New Year, and not only because of gifts and sweets. This day is filled with magic and charm, and only adults know that it is best to celebrate the holiday in an interesting and beautiful costume, so every parent tries to come up with something unusual and beautiful.

DIY New Year's costumes for girls based on a tutu skirt

A carnival costume is one of the most important attributes of the New Year. Parents' imaginations are endless when it comes to making outfits, and the process can be very long and labor-intensive. Many mothers prefer tulle tutu skirts to fluffy dresses; on its basis, you can create a lot of memorable images that will remain in the child’s memory for a long time. Even a beginner can handle such a product, because it is not necessary to sew a skirt. For the work you will need very few materials:

• elastic for a belt 5-7 cm wide;
• tulle;
• scissors;
• tape measure.

Important! The amount of material depends on the fullness of the skirt. You should always take into account the length of the product and the child’s waist circumference. When calculating the amount of material, use these values ​​as a guide, multiplying them by half.

Fluffy tutu skirt - instructions

Some manufacturers produce tulle already in spools. If you find exactly this one, it will be even easier, since you just need to cut it to length. Don't be upset if you don't find it. Take the tulle in one piece. The simplest ballet tutu does not require any effort to make; we will consider step by step two options for how to make a tutu skirt without sewing. In the first case, you will need to do the following:

1. Measure the child’s waist with a measuring tape, take a wide waist elastic band, and cut the resulting length, first subtracting 3-5 cm.
2. Place the ends of the elastic on top of each other and sew them tightly. This elastic band will become a belt for a future skirt.
3. Prepare tulle. Set aside the required length, multiplying it by half and adding 2.5 cm. If you have a solid piece of material, cut it into strips 7.5-8 cm wide.
4. The elastic band of the belt needs to be pulled over something rigid, the back of a chair will do. Fold the tulle strip in half and tie it around the elastic.
5. Repeat the steps, gradually moving the tied strips closer together.

The second method is useful for those who want to make a 2- or 3-layer tulle skirt. The manufacturing process is not much different, but a checkerboard elastic band is suitable as a belt. What do we have to do:

1. Prepare the tulle as in the first case; for a two-layer skirt you will need 2 spools.
2. Stretch the rubber band over a large book or suitable board.
3. Fold the tulle strip in half and thread it into the second row from the bottom. Then do the same until you have covered the entire row.
4. To make the second row, take a pen or pencil. They will help you avoid getting lost in layers. Tie further strips without missing any space. Straighten and tighten the material to make the skirt look neater.

Important! Use soft or medium-hard tulle. A skirt made from it will look much more beautiful and bulge less.

Tutu costume ideas

A tutu skirt will suit almost every look. Just add accessories, decorate the finished product a little, and you can safely go to the ball. In this simple but effective way you can make a costume for a fairy, kitten, squirrel, frog, snowflake, butterfly, and any other character. The main thing is to have imagination and a desire to surprise your child.

Fairy

Many girls loved this magical look, and my mother loved it precisely because you can match an ordinary dress with accessories, and the outfit is ready. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a dress of a suitable style or color. This is where a tulle skirt will come to the rescue. For such a product, choose the appropriate color: soft lilac, pink, lilac. Length can be maximum. You can sew a bodice of matching flowers to the skirt, and decorate your head with a wreath or a cap with a tulle ribbon in the color of the entire ensemble. The main attribute of a fairy is a magic wand and wings!

Squirrel

When creating a skirt, the main thing is to choose a material that matches the color. Here you can combine several colors in one product: orange, brown and black, tying the stripes on the elastic band one by one. Additional accessories will be:

• ears;
• tail;
• paws.

Ears can be made from felt by cutting out 2 orange triangles and fastening them together. Place slightly smaller white triangles on them. The base must be glued to the hoop. It will be convenient to use hot glue. The tail must be bushy. To keep it in shape, sew a wire inside. Use natural or faux fur as material for the tail. You can put gloves with cut off fingers on your hands, and sew fur strips or pom-poms on them.

Frog

A very interesting costume can turn out if the skirt is multi-colored. Here you can use several shades of green at the same time. As in the previous costume, you can put green satin sleeves on the arms, or the same gloves. You can decorate the child’s head with a mask, or have a specially sewn hat for the costume. It wouldn't hurt to have leg warmers on your feet.

Important! If the skirt is 2 or 3 colors, then the rest of the accessories should be the same shade, then the whole ensemble will look harmonious.

Snow White

This Disney princess is a frequent guest at the New Year's ball. A girl in such a costume always looks unusual. There are many different interpretations of this costume, but the color scheme remains the same: blue top, yellow bottom. In this case, the tutu skirt should be made long, made of soft tulle, and one color. If a girl styles her hair like Snow White and adds a headband with a cute bow to her costume, then the look will be completely complete.

Princess

Becoming a princess is every girl’s dream, which means the carnival costume must match. Gold, cream, or beige colors are suitable here. The skirt must be maxi. Ideally, it will be made with a checkerboard elastic band and it will be magnificent. Every princess should have a crown. Making a crown yourself is not at all difficult. There are many options: you can make it from cardboard, from wire, decorated with beads. Or you can make a small crown out of lace by first greasing it with PVA glue and letting it dry.

Little Red Riding Hood

In Charles Perrault’s fairy tale, it was not indicated anywhere that the main character’s skirt, like her cap, was red. However, most of this character’s New Year’s costumes are made in red. You can go the same route and make a red tutu skirt; in terms of length, it will still be better if the product is knee-length. An invariable attribute of the costume is a red cap. You can complement the look with leggings, an apron, and a basket.

Kitty

A tutu skirt in this look looks very impressive if it is one color, for example black or white. To a short fluffy skirt you need to sew a fur ponytail, tights or striped leggings. The look will be complemented by ears on the hoop. As a top, you can use a single-color turtleneck or dance leotard. It wouldn’t hurt to trim it with faux fur to complete the look.

Butterfly

There can be a lot of color options here, the butterflies are bright and cheerful. The skirt can be made in 3, 4, or even 5 colors, the main thing is that they match each other. It is better to decorate your hair with long mustaches on a hoop. Don't forget to attach the wings to the back. It’s not difficult to make them: twist a frame from strong wire, cover it with nylon tights, and paint it with paints. A bright butterfly in front of you.

As you can see, a suit made by yourself is an excellent alternative to a store-bought one. You can craft together with your child; this exciting process will bring both you and your daughter a lot of pleasure.
