For the outfit you need to take an orange bottom (pants, shorts, breeches will do). You also need to take a yellow top. A characteristic feature of Dunno’s costume is bright, contrasting items.

Outfit variations:

  • orange top and blue bottom;
  • T-shirt in green shades and shorts in orange;
  • red shirt and orange pants;
  • orange bottom, yellow top.

Important! If shorts are chosen as the bottom, then it is recommended to complement the outfit with bright leg warmers.

An indispensable element in this look is a large hat. This is the “identification mark” of Dunno. For a headdress, you can take fabric with a cardboard or wire frame. Some people make entirely cardboard hats. It’s easy to make a costume for a famous character from Nosov’s fairy tale if you have contrasting items in your wardrobe. You can also buy bright fabric and sew the necessary clothes using patterns.

How to make a hat?

It's easier to make a hat out of cardboard, but it won't last long. Materials and tools for making the Dunno headdress:

  • stationery knife or regular scissors;
  • superglue, it can be replaced with double-sided tape;
  • cardboard to match the color of the hat or whatman paper that can be painted.

First, the preparation is done. A large circle is made on a piece of cardboard for the base of the hat and brim. The size of the base should match the circumference of the child’s head. About 20 cm should be allocated to the margins. They may be larger in size. The main thing is that the child feels comfortable performing active actions in such a headdress.

The second blank is a cone. It is necessary to provide a place for connecting the parts. Then the cone is glued to the fields. You can complement the hat with strands of hair cut out of yellow cardboard, which are glued to the bottom of the brim. The fabric model is made in the same way. Only the cardboard blank is additionally covered with fabric. Photo of the pattern:

Making a shirt

The easiest way is to use a ready-made shirt - look in stores for a bright yellow, red, or orange model.

Making a shirt with your own hands is more difficult. First you need to take measurements and make a pattern. If you make a mistake at this stage, then further work will be irrevocably damaged. This requires some modeling skills. An example of a shirt and trousers pattern for a 4-5 year old boy:

To complete the look, it is recommended to use large, bright buttons.

Important! When creating a pattern, you need to take care of seam gaps. It is enough to add 1.5-2 cm to the measurements.
