To each of us the image of the gray wolf is familiar from childhood - sharp fangs, gray hard wool, long fluffy tail. It is these nuances that need to be realized in the children's New Year costume of a wolf, if you plan to make it yourself. Of course, both wool and fangs will not be real! Ready to try? Then we offer a step-by-step master class with a detailed description of all the stages that will help you make a wolf costume, both for the child and for the adult. An important detail: you do not have to puzzle over how to make a pattern to sew a wolf costume, because it does not need it!

We will need:

  1. First turn the usual gray sweatshirt into the "skin" of a wolf. To do this, you need to simulate the wool. We take a cut of light gray felt, draw on it an oval that would fit on the front of the sweatshirt. Then, outline the oval with denticles, cut out the part. It will serve as a breast. We put it on the hoodie, fasten it in several places with pins to make it easier for ourselves to do the job. Then, with neat stitches, we sew the breast from felt to the sweatshirt.
  2. Now came the turn of the pants. To cover them with "hair", we will use the same technique - denticles. From gray felt, cut two strips 7-10 centimeters wide and twice the width of the trouser leg. Then lower the bottom edge of both strips with scissors, cutting out denticles of different sizes. It remains to attach the strips to the bottom of each leg.
  3. Cut out two pieces of gray felt from the gray felt by the type of patch, treat them with scissors, cut out the denticles, and then sew on the panties in the area of ​​the knees.
  4. What kind of wolf without a tail? It's time to sew it. To do this, cut out two gray rectangular pieces from a gray felt about 15 centimeters wide and about 40 centimeters long. Then from a dark gray felt cut a rectangle 10x30 centimeters. Make its edges "torn". White felt is needed to design the tip of the tail (two parts). When all the components of the wolf's tail are ready, you can start sewing. First, put a white tip on one large rectangle, then on another dark gray part, and on top of the tip of the tail. We fasten the parts with pins so that they do not move while stitching.
  5. Now we spend both halves of the tail with a sewing machine and sew them together.
  6. To make the tail volumetric, fill it with cotton wool or sintepon. It remains to sew it to his pants.
  7. A beautiful and unusual children's New Year's suit of a gray wolf is ready! And after the matinees, you can always turn all the details sewn to the sweatshirt and trousers, and use these things for socks.

As you can see, the creation of the image of a gray wolf, a thunderstorm of forests, does not amount to labor. This is under the power and the one who holds the needle and thread for the first time. Sewing such a suit and time does not require much. If you own the basics of body painting and make-up, you can turn your face into a wolfish muzzle. As an option - a mask for a wolf costume , which can be made from the remaining felt.

The child in the costume of a wolf, sewn with the caring hands of his mother, will look great. Excellent mood during the holiday and vivid memories are guaranteed to him. Experiment, create and enjoy the results!

With your own hands, you can make a suit of other forest dwellers, for example, a bear or a rabbit.
