New Year is considered one of the most favorite holidays for both children and adults. Many parents want their child to be the most beautiful at the children's party. The snowflake costume for girls remains the most popular, and it’s easy to make with your own hands.
How to make a snowflake dress
You can create a snowflake outfit with your own hands from an ordinary dress bought in a store. A model with a wide skirt is ideal for this purpose. It can be effectively decorated with light lace, ribbons, and corrugated paper along the hem. You can also make a large flounce collar or cape from lace. Christmas tree tinsel can be added to the sleeves and waistband. They even sell ready-made sets of snowflakes for decoration.
To complete the look, you can’t do without white tights or socks.
What you will need
To sew a snowflake dress with your own hands, you will need a piece of fabric. You can use velor, satin, crepe-satin. It is better if the material is soft and hypoallergenic.
Tulle is ideal for skirts, sleeves, and ruffles.The amount of material depends on the desired pomp and size of the product. Traditionally, the outfit is made in snow-white tones, but blue and light blue colors are also suitable. You can experiment with a combination of white and blue, add splashes of pink and yellow.
But dark colors are inappropriate: the image should be airy. Additional accessories needed include white or silver threads, scissors, paper, elastic, and decorative ornaments.
Instructions
First of all, you need to decide on the style of the outfit. As a rule, a suit consists of a light dress or skirt and blouse. Then follow these steps step by step:
- As a pattern, you can use a regular dress that fits well on the child. A white T-shirt will do as well. The product must be traced on paper or directly on fabric using chalk or a bar of soap.
- Next, the details of the top should be sewn along the side sections, and as a fastener, consider a zipper or button with a loop. An incision is made at the back of the neck measuring 10 cm.
- It is better to make a skirt from tulle: the outfit will be lush and airy. The fabric needs to be cut to the length of the skirt and the side seams sewn together. The skirt should be gathered at the waist and stitched to the top. A tulle skirt can be multi-layered and consist of different shades, which gives a lot of scope for creativity.
- There is a second version of the “sun” type skirt. In this case, a circle is cut out from a square of fabric.
- It is convenient to make the sleeves according to the “flashlight” principle by inserting an elastic band on both sides. It is better to take the sleeve height 10 cm, and the width based on the volume of the child’s arm in the armpit area.
For a sleeveless outfit, it is worth considering a light, airy cape. If the room is cool, then it is worth preparing an insulated version.
Snowflake dress made from improvised materials
The easiest way is to buy a white T-shirt or turtleneck and make a tutu skirt. The top can be embroidered with sequins and rhinestones. A tutu skirt is easy to make even for those who don’t know how to sew. You will need fifty cuts of tulle with a width of twenty centimeters and a length equal to the length of the future product. These pieces are tied to an elastic band. As soon as the last piece is attached, you need to thread a satin ribbon through the resulting loops. Moreover, the skirt can be uneven in different parts: it all depends on the idea of the craftswoman. The combination of white and blue tulle looks unusual.
Snowballs are useful as decoration; they can be easily made from paper, felt, or take ordinary plastic ones intended for decorating a Christmas tree. You can come up with a pattern yourself. It is known that no two snowflakes are alike. New Year's tinsel and "rain" will come in handy. If the dress is made of thick satin, then snowflakes can be painted with acrylic paint. It is absolutely safe and does not get dirty.
To decorate the head, not only a crown is suitable, but also a hat or hairpins, elastic bands, bows. For a hat, just glue a cardboard hoop to the size of your head and cover it with glitter. Cut 6-8 pieces of tinsel and pin them evenly spaced, then tie them into a bun at the top of your head.
Additional accessories include earrings, beads, necklaces, mittens or gloves.
Every mother wants to see her daughter as a real princess at the New Year's ball. The snowflake costume is quite simple to make. It can be made in different ways, including using available materials and available tools.
Why is it better to make a costume for a matinee yourself, rather than buy it?
Of course, there is always the opportunity to purchase a ready-made New Year's look.However, it is the process of making an outfit with one’s own hands that gives the holiday a special meaning and unites all family members. During the work, each participant will be able to show their creative abilities. The outfit will turn out to be unique and you won’t see a second one like it at the matinee.
In addition, it often turns out that it is impossible to choose something suitable from the many dresses in the store. After all, primitive things look boring and uninteresting, while beautiful ones will be expensive. Spending large sums is not always advisable, since in most cases the suit will only be useful for one time.
