This unusual and unique carnival outfit is perfect for a New Year themed party. It's time to move away from the standard images of snowflakes and princesses, because such a costume will be remembered both at a children's party and at a house party.
Recommendations for creating a Baba Yaga costume
You don’t need much to make; you should look for old things at home. Blouses, blouses, long skirts and grandma's colored scarves are suitable. Baba Yaga dressed in torn and dirty clothes, so to imitate antiquity and moth-eaten holes, you need to make them with scissors or sew on tacky overlays. Rip the hem of the skirt unevenly and cut off part of the bottom for asymmetry.
If you find an unnecessary fur collar at home, you can use it for the vest of our suit or make an imitation of a cat out of it, which you can then put on the shoulder of the same vest, attaching it with threads and needles.
Important! Instead of a collar, you can use a ready-made animal toy.
Accessories are very important in this outfit.For the hump, a regular ball of fabric is used, placed under clothing on the back. Take a broom in your hands, buy a gray wig in a store or sew it from gray wool, tie a colorful scarf on top. It can be tied under the chin or at the back.
Although Baba Yaga was not a beauty, she was a woman and loved jewelry. Beads and earrings in the shape of skulls are suitable here; they will perfectly complement the outfit. If you want to make them yourself, you will need polymer clay, which, after complete hardening, must be covered with white paint. Ordinary cardboard is also suitable for decorations. Cut out the bead blanks, put them on a thread and sew them on top.
Important! Shoes – trampled slippers, felt boots. They can be decorated by sewing colored patches.
