Soon matinees will be held across the country in kindergartens and other entertainment institutions. Many guests and relatives will come to your house. Now is the time to think about a costume for your little one, so that he feels like he’s in a fairy tale. For a child, New Year is the main and joyful event. A carnival costume will help to immerse him in a fairy tale. However, you shouldn’t spend money, start making it yourself, brightening up the winter evenings with an interesting activity in which your child can also participate.

Raspberry costume ideas for girls

To create such a costume, your creativity and imagination will come to your aid.

• A simple T-shirt or tunic with raspberries, which can be ordered online, is suitable as a top. A plain skirt will complete the look.
• You can also find fabric with a raspberry print and make a skirt of any style you like. Decorate the baby's head with a hoop with raspberries, which can be bought at any decor store.
• Another idea for a costume is to take a ready-made dress in red or other bright colors. And having bought stripes in the form of leaves and berries at the hardware store, sew them on the dress.
• A white festive dress can be transformed by decorating the bottom with a piece of red tulle, and on the head you can make a hairpin made of green felt or velor leaves and berries.

Raspberry boys don't happen so often, but if he was given such a role, then making the costume is as easy as shelling pears. Buy a red T-shirt and shorts. Sew patches with designs of berries and leaves onto your clothes. And for your head, make a decoration in the form of a large raspberry from paper printed on a printer. There are no restrictions, use your imagination!

DIY raspberry costume for a girl

We propose to create a raspberry costume for a girl using foam rubber. Such a raspberry will resemble a real berry as closely as possible, and will surprise everyone at the matinee.

Required tools and materials

• scissors for working with fabric;
• needle and thread to match the fabric (sewing machine);
• foam rubber 1-1.5 cm thick;
• filler;
• thin velvet of rich red color;
• dense green velvet.

Making the top of the dress

Making a raspberry blouse.

1. Take a green or white T-shirt. This will be our basis.
2. From green velvet we cut out leaves according to the template, enough to cover the T-shirt.
3. Also, according to the template, but a little smaller in size, we cut out leaves from foam rubber to give them volume.
4. We sew two pieces of fabric together, leaving a hole in order to fill it with foam rubber.
5. Insert the filler and sew up the hole. The leaves should be slightly convex.
6. We use a green thread to make an indentation on each leaf. Sew the leaves to the T-shirt.

Body of the dress

We make the bottom of the suit from red velor.

1. We apply the template to the fabric and make blanks with a margin of 0.7-0.8 cm. The blank should come out in the shape of two halves of an oval.
2. Now we take a template in the shape of a circle and cut out round-shaped blanks, also making a reserve. You should have just enough of these circles to cover the bottom of the skirt.
3. Sew the 2 halves of the ovals on the sides.

Now let's take care of our circles and make them convex.

1. To do this, you need to cut circles out of foam rubber, but without any reserve. There should be the same number of circles made of foam rubber as those made of fabric.
2. We sew the edges of the circles with a basting stitch, put the filler inside and tighten them, giving the shape of a ball.
3. We do this with all the other mugs.

Now we sew our balls to the base of the skirt as tightly as possible in a circle. Sew a green velor belt to the skirt. You can also take a ready-made red skirt and sew our red balls onto it.

Sewing the dress into one piece

We sew together a T-shirt and a raspberry skirt. It is better to use a sewing machine so that the seams are neat and invisible.

Decorations for a raspberry costume

An addition to the costume will be head accessories in the form of a hoop or bracelet with raspberries. Take a ready-made plastic base for the hoop and cover it with small raspberries and leaves.

You can also buy elastic bands of green and bright red color, and glue the raspberries to them using a glue gun. Make lots of ponytails and tie them with fancy elastic bands.

You can decorate a dress or hoop by making the decoration yourself. For the raspberry you will need:

• a shred of raspberry or red color;
• cotton wool or filler;
• threads;
• needle.

Now let's start making the malnika.

1. Cut a circle with a diameter of 10 cm from velor.
2. Make small balls of 0.6 cm in diameter from filler or cotton wool. Make them exactly as many as you want to make raspberry balls.
3. Place 1 cotton ball in the very center of the circle and tie the fabric around it with a thread.
4. Secure everything with a needle and red thread.
5. Next, place the next ball inside and also secure with thread. And we continue like this until we get a berry.
6. We remove the unnecessary fabric, carefully fold the edges inward and sew it up well. Next we make leaves also from velor.

You can make several of these berries and decorate a hairpin, bracelet or hoop.

You can also do gloves made of green satin and decorate them with decorative elements.

The original decoration will be raspberry-shaped hat. You can take a ready-made light hat and sew voluminous red velvet balls onto it.
