Mushroom costume with your own hands

Children's costumes for matinees make the events interesting and colorful. But there are a lot of holidays in the kindergarten, and buying a suit for everyone is expensive and impractical, since it will only come in handy once! To the traditional "Feast of Autumn" parents have to puzzle over how to "beat" children's suits of mushrooms, vegetables, fruits.

If your child has the role of a mushroom, and there is no time to look for a costume, then there is an easy way. It is enough to print on the thick paper drawings of mushrooms of different sizes, cut them and sew to clothes. You can also attach a leaf to your shirt or blouse, because the fungus breaks through the autumn foliage. But if there is plenty of time, we suggest to sew a fungus suit with your own hands. Special skills and abilities are not required for this.

We will need:

  1. Headgear is the most important detail of a mushroom costume. Mushrooms are different, because the color of the fabric choose the appropriate one. In principle, there are not so many options - any shade of brown or red, if you need a fly agaric costume. The basis of the headdress is any hat that fits the child in size (wicker, felt, straw). Of course, a hat with wide margins will look more spectacular. The denser it will be, the better. We cover the hat with a layer of sintepon to level the difference between the fields and the top.
  2. Then it is necessary to tighten the hat with a cloth. To simplify your task, try to use a red cloth for a white polka-dot for a fly agaric costume. If there is not one, you'll need to glue the headdress with white circles. In addition, it will be easier to work with an elastic fabric, and folds - less.
  3. Superfluous fabric cut, and secure its edges neatly on the inside of the fields of the hat thread or stapler. Try to make sure that there are no wrinkles on the outside of the hat.
  4. It's time to start decorating the inside of our headdress. To cut a white cloth, the length of which should be one and a half times the length of the circumference of the hat from the inside (plus 2-3 centimeters on the allowance), sew tulle or tulle. Here we need folds that will mimic the inner surface of the mushroom cap. Now the ribbon is ready, and it can be sewn to the edges of the hat's fields. Avoid rough joints and large nodules, so that the child in this headgear was comfortable.
  5. Now you know how to make a mushroom hat with your own hands! If desired, you can decorate the headpiece with autumn leaves of different colors, decorative bugs or snails.

And now about how to sew a cloak for a mushroom costume made from fabric. Pattern is very simple. All that's required is to measure the length of the cape. Here it is necessary to take into account that too long a cloak will limit the movement of the child, and during the matinee this is unacceptable. The optimal length is up to the elbow fold.

If you do not know how to make lightning, then sew a regular rubber band into the neck. At the bottom of the cloak, you can sew a green border resembling grass.
