The time for New Year's holidays, fireworks and carnivals is coming again. And the children eagerly wait for the moment to plunge headlong into the magic and feel like a fairy-tale character.
But the parents are not laughing; they have to decide what role their beloved child will take on this time.
And do everything brilliantly and on time with your own hands.
A win-win option for little princesses will be the image of a graceful, elegant cat. Let’s take a closer look at making the costume.
How to make a cat costume for a girl with your own hands?
Let's start with the ears
Every self-respecting cat has graceful ears and a tail. Let's look at how to make them. There are various ways.
Option 1 – cardboard rim
The most basic one. Let's build a rim from thick cardboard by simply gluing two opposite ends together. Then we cover it with fabric. We attach ears to it, also made of cardboard. We glue fur on them from the outside.
Option 2 – hoop with felt
To make ears, use the following materials:
- An ordinary plastic hoop.
- A sheet of paper for creating a pattern drawing.
- Scissors.
- Pencil.
- Felt is black and white, cream or pink, so that the ears are not the same color.
- Needle and thread.
- PVA, etc.
Draw your own model of cute ears onto paper.
Cut so that the pattern comes out double. Cut according to it two parts made of black felt. Fold all the parts carefully, then attach them to the top side of the hoop.
It is advisable to finish the tips of the ears with a decorative stitch. Cut out 2 smaller pieces from felt of beige or another shade.
All that remains is to attach them to the cat ears using PVA or fabric glue. That's all the wisdom!
Option 3 – hat with ears
You can attach the ears to a hat you have in your wardrobe that suits the occasion. In general, it all depends on your imagination!
Let's move on to creating the tail
List of required materials:
- 2 toilet paper tubes;
- 1 cardboard tube from paper towels;
- 1 dark sock, golf or stocking;
- Fur of the desired shade.
Procedure
- Place 2 toilet paper tubes in a simple supermarket bag. The package must be carefully wrapped around.
- We put what we got into a sock or stocking.
- We push the tip of the sock or golf inside the tube.
- Using a stapler, it is advisable to carefully secure the lower part of the craft.
- Afterwards, we insert a tube from a towel roll, wrapped in a bag, into the sock or stocking.
- We sew the opposite end of the hosiery.
- Pieces of fur on the finished product will help decorate it and increase its resemblance to a small predator.
The ponytail for the charming fashionista is ready!
Lightweight skirt style for cats
A carnival costume will be irresistible if you spend just a little time sewing it for your beloved daughter, for example, half-sun skirts. It is quite possible to make it from black, red, etc. velvet fabric, preferred pattern "sun" or "half-sun".
The option made will also look great from tulle. If someone does not have the fortunate ability to sew, they will have to limit themselves to a fluffy skirt from their own closet or, as a last resort, black leggings, panties and white, cream, etc. shoes.
Helpful Tips:
- To fully match the image of a little predator, draw a neat black nose and a daring mustache.
- Wear gloves with cut fingers.
- If age permits, it is possible to coat your nails with varnish., in color corresponding to the suit.
Your cat will be irresistible! Happy ideas everyone!
