Quite often, for carnival themed matinees with skits, a boy needs a goose costume. After all, this bird is found in most fairy tales and theatrical productions. If your child gets such a role, don’t be upset. You can easily make such a costume yourself. This does not require any special skills, just a little time and imagination.
Features of a goose costume for a boy
A carnival costume always looks bright, interesting and festive. For a child, this is a special image into which he is reincarnated. A goose costume for a boy must have a red beak. This could be a mask or a regular red cap. It all depends on what the outfit will be made of and its details.
In addition, such a bird should have red legs. Don't forget about the wings. After all, what is a bird without wings? The child's outfit should be white or gray to match the color of the goose's feathers.
Remember! Ready-made costumes in theme stores will cost many times more than those made by yourself.

How to make a gosling costume for a boy with your own hands
There are several ways to make a gosling costume at home. The most relevant and proven ones include:
- To make the chick's beak, take a cap with a red visor. We glue or sew button eyes onto the top of the cap. Now the matter remains small. We put on a white turtleneck or T-shirt and red tights, leggings, knee socks (your choice). We put a white cape on top with elastic bands, it will serve as the chick’s wings. The costume for a theatrical event for a boy is ready.
- If there is no red cap at home. Then we take an ordinary white or gray hat and sew a homemade beak to it. We make it from thick fabric or red paper. For the bottom we wear black dress pants and a white shirt or turtleneck. We complement the look with a white cape made of satin fabric.
To create a costume, it is not necessary to buy special themed items. Every boy's wardrobe has a classic white shirt, turtleneck or T-shirt that goes well with a suit. Tights, leggings, and knee socks are suitable for the bottom. If this is not the case, then you can wear red shoes with socks of the same shade.
If you want to sew a set yourself, then you will need to make a pattern for a T-shirt, sweater, shorts or pants. A white jumpsuit would be a great option. Don't be afraid if you don't have a machine or overlocker in your house. All details can be sewn by hand.
Sewing a jumpsuit is very simple. All you have to do is take the pattern, transfer it to the fabric and sew the two parts together. Don’t be afraid to experiment because your child’s outfit should be unique and interesting. For the outfit, choose white, black or gray.
For a warm version of the overalls, a velor option is suitable. This suit will be very warm and comfortable for the child. It does not restrict movement and helps the body breathe. We make the following pattern according to the child’s size:
First, we make a pattern on whatman paper according to the measurements and cut it out. We transfer the pattern to the fabric and cut out all the details. We sew all parts by hand or with an overlocker.
We select the bottom of the trousers and stitch them. If desired, you can pull the elastic into the seam and make a small one on the side. It will look like folds on the legs. We also process the neck and sleeves. We make a large cut on the side and sew in a lock. So, the overalls will be easy to put on and take off from the child.
At the request of the child and mother, you can put a hat, cap or mask on your head. You can also cut out a goose figurine from thick paper and make it into a headband. A cap with a red or orange visor will look comfortable and stylish.
To make the wings, we need white satin fabric. The size of the material should be calculated according to the child’s height. Take a plain square and cut a circle out of it. In the center we make a round hole for the head. We cut the fringe at the edges with scissors. The cape for the outfit is ready.
If you want to do something unusual and spectacular, you can make two oblong wings from satin fabric and sew small feathers on them from paper or the same fabric. We sew the finished wings to the sleeves of the jacket. They can also be made with elastic bands and put on your hands. On your feet you should wear red shoes or socks, knee socks, or leggings of the same shade.
A goose costume for a boy may be required for a kindergarten matinee or a themed party. It is not always possible to constantly buy new outfits for your baby. In order not to waste money and look unique at the event, you can create an outfit yourself. Any mother and even the most inexperienced seamstress can make a little gosling at home in the shortest possible time. To create a bird's outfit you will need a minimum of materials and time. The main thing is not to be afraid to fantasize and create stylish, universal images for children.
