Indian outfit with their own hands

A full set of Indian outfit consists of two main parts: the suit itself and the original headdress of vertical feathers - the roach, without it the image of a warrior Indian or a wise Indian leader will be incomplete.

How to sew an Indian costume?

1. The main part of the Indian costume can not be sewn, but use the available clothing. For the upper part any single-colored t-shirt with short or long sleeves is perfect. It is desirable that the top of the suit be brown, yellow, beige, olive, gray or buffy tinge. The edges of the sleeves and the bottom of the hem can be cut with a fringe, but you can use a fringe with a fringe, combining it with a dense rather wide braid for finishing.
2. The trousers should be similar to the T-shirt color, on the sides of the pants are sewn fringe-laces.
3. The pattern of some details of the Indian costume - bandages in the form of a double apron and a poncho cape is not difficult to do on your own. The loincloth is made of two rectangles, one of which is bigger, and the other is smaller. The details are sewn on a wide belt. At the base of the poncho is a square flap, in the center of which the neck is cut out, and along the edges fringe is made by pulling the threads from the fabric.

Note that the Indian costume assumes a lot of decor! As a decoration, various kinds of braid, wooden small ornaments, beads, beads, coins, etc. are used. Moreover, the processing of accessories is rather rough, as required by the created image, and the colors are not striking, corresponding to the ethnos, to which the attire relates.

Roach Indian with their own hands

The costume will be unfinished without the traditional luxury Indian Roach. Despite the seeming intricacies, it is not particularly difficult to make an Indian head-dress.

Of course, it's great if there are real bird feathers for making a dress. They can be painted with aniline paints and sewed on a wide braid. But if you do not have large feathers, you can make a roach with ornaments made of paper.

Roach from colored paper and cardboard

1. From the cardboard is made a wide ring-hoop a little more girth than the head. The ring is connected using a stapler or staples.
2. For the central part of the roach a bright red circle is cut out, symbolizing the sun - the source of all living things.
3. To decorate the rim, pieces of paper are cut and pasted.
4. Paper cut out details that repeat the shape of feathers, edges are cut with fringe.
5. Of colored paper, side ribbons are made for the headgear, they should be glued to universal adhesive for strength.
6. All the details should be firmly connected with a stapler or a reliable universal glue so that during the holiday the headdress does not fall apart into its component parts.

A roach, a bow with arrows or a battle ax will complete the costume of your Hawk Claw or Eagle Eye!

With your own hands, you can make other costumes, for example, a gnome or a snowman .
