DIY sun costume for girls and adults

What roles do children, parents and teachers have to play during holidays in kindergartens? One of the brightest characters is the sun. This carnival outfit does not have to be bought in a store. You can make it yourself. There are many costume options for both children and adults.

How to make a “Sunshine” costume

Most often, the role of the sun goes to adults or girls. Such models are represented by a headdress and a yellow skirt or sundress.

There may be several options:

• A circle skirt, a cape over the shoulders and a round kokoshnik in the shape of the sun.
• A sundress with a knitted blouse of a matching shade, large yellow bows on the head.
• If there is no time to make a costume, then it can be created from basic clothing and small characteristic elements. For example, use a yellow T-shirt and skirt. As an additional element, make a round yellow crown or a medal badge for the chest.

DIY sun costume for a girl

Every girl wants to be dressed up for a holiday. Little princesses like it when the skirt swirls beautifully while dancing, the outfit shimmers with bright colors, and the hairstyle is comfortable and neat. It is not difficult to sew such a costume yourself.

Costume components

The model under consideration consists of the following elements:

• skirt;
• cape;
• bright yellow bows on the head;
• yellow tights or socks.

By the way! The skirt should not be long. It is enough for it to be just above the knee. Often costumes are represented by long skirts and sundresses. Such models are uncomfortable to wear. The hem gets tangled in her legs, and the girl has to constantly adjust it.

Required tools and materials

For production you will need:

• The fabric is yellow. Satin works well.
• Yellow glitter.
• Big bows on the head.
• Scissors, thread.
• Satin ribbon.
• Linen elastic.

Step-by-step making of a sun costume for a girl

Important! When sewing, you need to take the child’s measurements correctly. In the case of a sun outfit, you will need to measure your waist circumference and the length of the proposed skirt.

Sewing includes several successive stages:

• Making a skirt. The model is cut out like a circle skirt. To do this, draw a circle on the fabric. The location of the proposed belt is marked and cut out. The radius of the circle should be equal to the length of the future skirt, taking into account the hem. The finished pattern resembles a round donut with a hole in the middle. The bottom edge of the skirt is folded. An elastic band is inserted into the upper part.
• Making a cape. To do this, the fabric is again cut in the form of a circle. An internal hole is cut for the neck. The cape differs from the skirt in that it is not one-piece: it has a button closure at the back.To do this, the circle must be cut along the radius. All edges of the cape are processed. A button is sewn on one edge and a loop on the other.
• Decorating a skirt and cape. To depict rays, you can sew a thin yellow satin ribbon onto the skirt and cape. Such strips of tape are sewn along the entire circumference along the product. To make the sun bright and iridescent, sequins are sewn onto clothes in random order.

On a note! It is better to use exclusively yellow glitter. Sometimes sequins of similar shades are sewn on: orange, red. But they do not make the costume beautiful; on the contrary, they overload it with unnecessary elements.

• On the day of the holiday, you need to braid beautiful ponytails or braids on the head of the young sun. The choice depends only on the length of the hair and the wishes of the little actress. It is better to take a lot of ribbon for bows, and its color should be rich. To prevent your hair from losing its appearance, you can fix it with hairspray.
• Yellow tights or socks complete the look. The choice is made based on the air temperature in the room.

The sunshine outfit for the girl is ready! This costume is easy to make, and the child will be comfortable in it.

DIY “Sunny” costume for an adult

Often teachers ask mothers to play some role at the holiday. It’s definitely not worth refusing a request because you don’t have an outfit. It can be done in one evening.

What does the suit consist of?

The magical transformation of mom into “sunshine” can be achieved thanks to the following elements:

• kokoshnik in a semicircular shape;
• yellow sundress to the floor;
• blouses, T-shirts or turtlenecks in a suitable shade;
• bright makeup.

What you need to make a costume

To make a sun costume for an adult, you need:

• yellow bright fabric;
• thick cardboard;
• yellow sparkles;
• satin ribbon;
• bright lipstick;
• yellow T-shirt, blouse or turtleneck;
• threads, scissors.

Step-by-step making of a sun costume for an adult

The whole process can be divided into several steps:

1. Making a sundress. To cut a sundress, you need to place any adult T-shirt (not narrow, preferably a man’s) on the yellow fabric. Cut the fabric along the outline of the sleeveless T-shirt. The drawing must be lengthened and widened so that the hem of the sundress is fluffy and does not hinder movement. Next you need to cut out the parts, make shoulder and side seams, and trim the edges.
2. For the kokoshnik, you need to cut out a piece in a semicircular shape from cardboard. Next, transfer the drawing to the fabric. Cut out patterns from the fabric, sew them on the wrong side, turn them inside out and cover the cardboard part with them. A satin ribbon is sewn to the base of the kokoshnik. The ribbon should be long, since it not only holds the kokoshnik, but is also tied at the back.
3. The kokoshnik and sundress are decorated with glitter. You can sew them in any order or come up with a beautiful pattern.
4. The suit is completed with a matching blouse or turtleneck.

The adult costume is ready! Children will be delighted with such sunshine.

The sun is an interesting role for the holiday. It is bright and fills you with a good mood. A carnival costume should be the same: give a positive attitude not only to its owner, but also to other participants in the event.
