Every child wants to look beautiful at matinees. Even the smallest fashionistas and fashionistas can find something special. For this you will need a good suit. In stores there is a huge variety of costumes to suit every taste. We suggest creating the image yourself. For children 3–4 years old, a chicken costume is suitable. It will look very cute and beautiful on your baby.

Chicken Costume Ideas

There are several options for creating such an image. Each of them should look like a real chicken. We suggest considering the following methods:

Using only the basic attributes: head, wings and beak.
It will be more difficult to create a suit with a T-shirt or dress base.
The most plausible would be to use a life-size puppet as an image of a chicken. This method is quite difficult to do at home.

If you have enough time and desire, you can creatively approach the issue and come up with your own style.

DIY chicken costume for a boy

When creating a boy chick, you need to pay attention to the base and details. They should not be overly decorated; a classic version will suit a boy. Before you start sewing, you need to stock up on the necessary material and tools. You will need:

orange and yellow fabric;
scissors;
tape measure;
threads with needles.

IMPORTANT! Don’t forget to take measurements and create a pattern for the future product according to your plan.

Making the main part of the costume

The first step is to create a base to which all other parts will be attached. A boy will not require any special additional elements in the base. An excellent option would be to use just an orange or yellow T-shirt. And for the bottom you can use shorts. If you don’t have such items in your wardrobe, you can sew them from knitted fabric yourself, it won’t take much time.

Chicken headdress

After creating the body of the future costume, you can begin making the head. There are several ways to create it. The simplest and most beautiful way is to make a knitted hat with an elastic band:

Take measurements from the child's head. You need to know the girth.
Create a pattern according to the appropriate measurements.
Cut the fabric into pieces and sew a hat from them.
To prevent the headdress from falling off, attach elastic bands to it.
To create a beak, you need to make a pyramid from a red piece of fabric and sew it to the front.

Chicken Costume Decorations

To create an image, you can use special jewelry that will complement the appearance and add believability. In addition to the basic elements, you can use transparent lightweight material to create feathering on the legs and arms.Use rubber bands to attach them to the base. You can use a red comb on your headdress.

If desired, create wings from cardboard and cover them with knitwear.

IMPORTANT! Look at chickens in nature or in pictures to get a closer look at the costume.

DIY chicken costume for a girl

Overall the image will have the same appearance as the previous version. But the costume for a girl will be slightly different from the version for boys. Basically, parts of the main body will be added to it and more bows and decorations will be used. After all, girls need to look more beautiful and graceful.

Making a dress

First of all, let's get down to the basics. Dresses in a yellow palette are suitable for a little fashionista. You can make them curvy or give them slender outlines. Special yellow tights will be worn on your feet. You can put several ring parts made of transparent airy fabric on the sleeves. Decorate the product with ribbons and bows

IMPORTANT! The main connoisseur and critic is your child. Make sure he likes everything.

Additional attributes for the costume

Care must be taken when choosing complementary parts to ensure that the image is believable and matches real chickens. The same elements are usually used as attributes as for a boy. We described them above.
