Pepper is a bright, cheerful, playful boy. In addition, all kids love bell peppers, and they definitely know first-hand about the spiciness of red (bitter) peppers.
Such a versatile vegetable will definitely arouse the interest of everyone present, both children and guests of the event.
How to make a pepper costume for a boy with your own hands?
As a suit for a boy for a children's party, you can consider bell pepper - a voluminous large hat on the head and a green cape.
We make a hat from red material, We stuff padding polyester, cotton wool or other available filler inside, giving it a massive shape. The hole inside the material must initially be through. After filling and sewing, tighten one side and sew a green felt tail onto it.
The cape is made of green crepe satin (or similar material) in the form of a cape. For decoration, if desired, you can sew a bright butterfly in the center at the top. That's the whole suit - it's easy to decorate and impressive to wear! We wear a white shirt and black formal trousers underneath.
Materials
So, what do we need to make such a costume with our own hands? To begin with, this is a fabric of bright and even rich color. It can be luxurious satin or durable crepe satin. In addition, any filler that is on hand to give volume and shape to the small “vegetable”.
In addition, you need: elastic band, red and green sequins, scissors, matching threads, pattern.
Simple suit pattern
Thus, when we have prepared the materials, we begin to cut out the outfit. Starting, we will identify the three things we need - a jacket, a hat and trousers.
Pepper Jacket
We start working on the jacket by finding any suitable pattern. We radically change the sleeve - we narrow it downwards, while we increase it sufficiently along the selvedge line. For this purpose, we draw straight vertical lines and cut the pattern along them. Then we apply the original parts to the paper, expand the top along the edge, and overlap the bottom.
We trace the newly received pattern along the contour so that the lines connect at the bottom. All that remains is a small matter - we sew the sleeves from red material, do not forget to leave holes for the child’s hands. The green fabric will go on the back and shelf, which can be decorated with a pepper applique.
At the very end, we sew the jacket, and design the collar in the image of leaves. Sewing trousers is not difficult. Here you will need any pattern of bloomers. It is best to make trousers out of green fabric, with elastic bands or cuffs at the bottom.
Pepper cap
The pepper cap is the most eye-catching and memorable item of the costume. Therefore, it is necessary to approach work on this part of the costume very carefully. To begin with, a pattern is made of the front and back halves of the pepper cap. Let's start the design.
The color of the material must be red. We stuff the inside of the hat with padding poly for volume, and don’t ignore the tip of the hat, this is very important. Otherwise, it will hang around idle and spoil the overall appearance. We decorate the bottom of the hat with cut out green leaves and stretch an elastic band.
Varied decor
How can you decorate such a costume? Of course, This is a pepper applique sewn on the front.. To do this, you just need to cut out the shape of a pepper from cardboard, and then transfer it to the fabric.
When choosing fabric, we give preference exclusively to cotton, because the fabric should not stretch and distort the picture. Now we glue or sew an applique at the top of the suit/jacket. Voila, our costume is ready.
So, in such a simple and rather uncomplicated way, every parent can decorate their child’s performance. As they say, if you have the desire, the skill will come by itself! Probably every boy will enjoy performing in such a colorful, daring costume.
When going on stage in front of a large number of people, the child will not be afraid to perform in such a costume. After all, his mother sewed this suit especially for him, and there is nothing scary in such a suit.
