DIY pear costume for girls and boys

The pear carnival costume is quite versatile. Both boys and girls can try on this role at the holiday. And every mother can make an outfit on her own. How to sew a pear costume for a boy and a girl will be discussed in the article.

Options for a boy

Models for boys are most often made on the basis of trousers and shorts. For the upper part of the suit, a vest or shirt is sewn. Casual T-shirts and turtlenecks are also often used.

Important! Unlike girls' costumes, boys' outfits are often made with hats. Boys cannot style their hair like girls, so all kinds of caps, masks and hats will be an excellent solution.

DIY pear costume for a boy

Let's consider a model based on a vest and panties.

Taking measurements. In order for the suit to fit well on the child, you need to take the measurements correctly. For a vest, you need to know the length of the back and front to the waist. For panties, measure your waist circumference and leg length from back to heel.

By the way! Boys are very restless people. It can be difficult for them to stand still for even 5 minutes. But in order to take measurements correctly, this is necessary. Therefore, the whole process can be divided into 2 stages: first take measurements for the vest, and then for the trousers.

Preparation of tools and materials

The boy's costume is made using the following elements:

1. The fabric is yellow and green. You should immediately decide what color the clothes will be and what the decorative elements on it will be. Any fabric that is easy to work with and looks bright will do.
2. Foam rubber for making a vest.
3. Linen elastic.
4. Satin ribbon yellow or green.
5. Threads, scissors.

Pear suit pattern

When the necessary measurements have been taken, we begin to construct patterns. For the vest, you need to draw 2 pear-shaped parts on the foam rubber. The length of the pattern should correspond to the measurements “back length to waist” and “front length to waist.” Similar patterns need to be made on yellow fabric, but here you need to take into account seam allowances. There should be 4 fabric parts.

On green fabric we draw a leaf, at least 15 cm long. It will be a decorative element of the vest.

We build the pattern of the pants on the basis of the child’s regular pajama pants. To do this, place the trousers on yellow fabric and outline the outline. In this case, you need to take into account the child’s waist circumference and the length of the pants. It's best to measure them in advance rather than relying on your pajama pants size. Separately cut out the front and back of the panties. Be sure to leave allowances for seams.

Making the base of the costume

When all the parts are cut out, they are sewn together. The work needs to be done in two stages:

• Sewing a vest. Fabric patterns are sewn together. You get 2 unique “cases” in the shape of pears.Foam rubber patterns are inserted inside fabric blanks. Satin ribbon is used to make straps that are sewn to the details of the vest. The sides of the vest can also be secured with inserts made of satin ribbons. You can also sew a regular green vest and sew an image of a pear on it.

By the way! The vest should be loose so as not to restrict the child’s movements.

• When the vest is ready, a green leaf is sewn onto its front part.
• Sewing trousers. The patterns are sewn together. Next, an elastic band is inserted and the edges are processed.

Making a hat for a pear

The boy's pear hat will also be made of fabric. If the main elements of clothing are yellow, then the hat is made green, and vice versa.

For a hat, you need to cut a circle out of fabric with a diameter of at least 40 cm. The circle is assembled with an elastic band to make a hat. The headdress is tried on the child. A small leaf is sewn onto the top of the head.

The pear's outfit is ready and waiting for its owner. Every boy will appreciate such a suit.

Pear outfit ideas for girls

There are a huge number of options for a pear dress for a girl. These include sundresses, dresses, and fluffy skirts combined with T-shirts and vests.

If there is little time to make a costume, then you can make not a whole outfit, but its elements. Such details complement the child's everyday clothes.

The choice of model depends on the availability of free time and sewing skills of the mother.

How to make a dress for a girl with your own hands

Let's consider a model based on a sundress and a mask. In such a model, the beautiful pear will be comfortable at the holiday, while such a model is very bright and easy to make.

Preparatory stage

Sewing a suit begins with a pattern. For it, you need to put a child’s regular everyday dress on yellow fabric and trace it along the contour to the waist.The pattern widens from the waistband.

The decorative element of the dress will be the image of a pear. It is cut out of green fabric.

Main part of the costume

The main stage is sewing the dress. The patterns are cut out and sewn together. The hem of the dress is gathered with elastic. But you shouldn’t pull the edge too tight. The dress should not interfere with the child's movements. The armholes and neckline of the dress are processed. You can also make an option with a tutu dress.

When the dress is sewn, it is complemented with an image of a pear. To do this, a piece of green fabric is sewn onto the front of the garment.

Jewelry making

The decoration for the outfit is a mask. To make it, you need to cut a strip 5 cm wide from white paper. The length of the strip is equal to the circumference of the child’s head. The workpiece is painted yellow or green. When the part is dry, a pre-prepared image of a pear is attached to it. It can be found on the Internet, printed on a color printer and laminated. Using a stapler, the parts are connected to each other. The mask can be replaced with a hoop.

The girl's costume is ready! It is convenient, simple to use, but very bright.

Children's parties are always an exciting and interesting event for both children and parents. Every mother can make the holiday unforgettable. If you approach the making of a costume creatively, your child will be guaranteed delight and a great mood at the holiday.
