Necessary materials and tools to sew a teardrop costume
If you don’t have suitable clothes for the outfit at home, then you can sew a skirt and jacket yourself. To do this we will need the following materials and tools:
- Material of blue, blue or turquoise shade;
- Blue tulle;
- Scissors;
- Soap;
- Threads, needle;
- Elastic band (should fit around the girl’s waist);
- Secret castle;
- Sewing machine.
Before starting work, you first need to take measurements.The skirt is made by the sun. Therefore, you can easily do without a pattern. If you have nothing to wear on top. Then take a T-shirt, blouse or turtleneck of the desired size and color and decorate it. The look is easy to create from any clothes and items. The main thing is to first clarify with the child what kind of costume he would like for the matinee. And then you can turn your fantasy into reality. To create a festive look, a raincoat is suitable, on which droplets made of paper or fabric can be easily attached.
Instructions for making a teardrop costume with your own hands
To create a festive outfit, you need to take all the necessary materials and tools and get to work. To create a skirt and sweater, you can do without a pattern. Cut out a large circle on the tulle. To make the skirt more fluffy, it needs to be made of several layers. Then the pack will look voluminous and light.
Inside we make a circle slightly larger than the measurements taken. We sew tulle to the elastic, creating folds throughout the skirt. We make a cutout at the back or side and sew on a secret lock. It is best if the lock is white or blue so that it does not stand out. The top of the clothes is decorated with sequins, rhinestones, beads or drops of paper or fabric. Any accessories will fit here.
There is also a simplified pack option. To do this, you need to take tulle and cut 10-15 long ribbons. Then tie an elastic band around the girl’s waist and carefully thread the fabric around. You will get a fluffy, voluminous skirt. However, you must wear thick tights or leggings underneath.
To sew the top, take any child’s sweater and trace the front and back and pattern on the tulle with soap. Now all that remains is to sew the parts and the top part is ready. After creating two parts, they need to be connected. We sew the blouse to the skirt from the wrong side.You should get a light, fluffy translucent dress. Under which you wear a T-shirt or a tight-fitting plain turtleneck with tights.
To decorate the costume, take beads and sew along the entire diameter of the blouse or the bottom of the skirt. A beautiful wig or crown with a droplet made yourself from thick paper will help complete the look. White or blue leggings and tights are worn under the skirt.
You can also create a costume with your own hands from paper. The algorithm of actions is as follows:
- We take whatman paper or thick, large blue cardboard;
- We draw 2 identical drops on paper (the length should be from the chest to the child’s hips, the width should be according to your preference);
- Cut out two pieces from cardboard;
- If the paper is white, then you need to first paint it with gouache;
- We connect them with elastic bands at the top (the outfit should be worn on the shoulders);
- The suit is ready. To make it colorful, you can apply white, gold, or blue glitter to the drops.
You can also make a variant of the image with a cloud. To do this, you need to make a headdress from cotton wool that resembles a cloud in shape. And it will send out threads with droplets of rain. When creating such a fabulous look, it is best to choose a plain outfit in blue or turquoise. A dress, tunic with leggings, a circle skirt with a blouse, or a turtleneck with trousers would be perfect here. You can also wear blue shoes on your feet. Don't be afraid to experiment.
A droplet costume is a unique, beautiful and unusual costume for a girl for any thematic mood. You can make the outfit yourself at home. This will require a minimum of time and a little imagination. The image is suitable for all ages, which makes it popular and creative.If you don’t have time for handicrafts, but you really need a costume, there is always the option of renting one. You can rent or buy it in a themed store. However, if you want your child to be irresistible, and the outfit to be remembered by everyone present at the matinee, then it is better to do everything yourself.
