DIY Mickey Mouse costume for boys

In order to please your child with the costume of his favorite hero, you will need a little free time, as well as:

• a small piece of cardboard. A sheet of 30x30 centimeters will be enough;
• buttons;
• hoop;
• black and red fabric;
• red and black thread.

The easiest option is to buy or find in your child’s wardrobe a black golf sweater or T-shirt, black tights, red shorts and yellow socks. If you want to sew a suit from scratch, you will first need to create a pattern. The Mickey Mouse costume is often sewn with overalls. It consists of five parts:

1. Drawing of the back of the overalls.
2. Drawing of the front side of the overalls.
3. Sleeve model.
4. Side part of the hood.
5. Upper part of the hood.

First you need to measure the baby's parameters - sleeve length from the shoulder, height, waist, hips, chest circumference. The height, depth and width of the hood are measured separately. Afterwards, all the details are applied to the fabric one by one, outlined with chalk or pencil and sewn together. The overalls are ready. All that remains is to decorate it with large buttons and glue the tail. You can add a couple of large white polka dots to your pants.

An easier option is to use ready-made clothes. To make Mickey Mouse look like a real one, you need to sew suspenders to the shorts. They can be worn over the shoulders or attached to large yellow buttons on the belt. You will need buttons in any case, you can just make them fake.

How to make a DIY Mickey Mouse costume for a girl

You can also simply make a Mickey Mouse costume for a girl for New Year or birthday. The tools we will need are: needles, threads, scissors, and a glue gun. Before starting work you need to prepare:

• hoop;
• felt black, red;
• a couple of meters of red tulle;
• white paper. Even better would be felt or other white material;
• sheet of cardboard 30x30 centimeters;
• hot glue.

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to sew a Mickey Mouse costume for a teenage girl or girl.

1. We make the main attribute of the mouse - a hoop with ears. Let's start by drawing a simple circle on paper with a rectangle drawn on it. This is how we will create a pattern for the ears. We translate it into the material. Experts advise choosing felt. This will help reduce the time it takes to make the ears - there is no need to finish the edges, and it is easier to work with than other fabrics. Felt can be hard or soft. In the first option, it is enough to glue two circles and attach them to the hoop. If the material is soft, round cardboard or thick paper is glued between the circles. This way the ears will stand up and retain their shape.
2. The basis for the suit will be a black golf sweater or T-shirt and black leggings.
3. We'll make the skirt ourselves. To do this, red tulle needs to be cut into strips ten centimeters wide. Length - approximately fifty centimeters.
4. We tie the strips to the elastic band one by one.The volume is selected depending on the baby’s waist circumference. We tie the two ends of the elastic band together.
5. You can decorate the tulle with white circles of paper or fabric, and add a bow on the belt.
6. Additional accessories include gloves, socks with lace frills, and a light thread of beads. Yellow shoes or boots are the finishing touch.
