Features of creating a costume and a crow mask with your own hands. How to make a magpie costume with your own hands? — Useful information for everyone Magpie costume at home

Today we had a matinee in our kindergarten - “Holy Spring”. My daughter was given the role of a magpie. First, of course, I went to rent costumes, but what they offered me was quite scary. So I decided to make the costume myself. Almost all the photos are “at home”, taken at different stages of tailoring the costume.

there are more than 5 photos under the cut

I took the skirt that I sewed for the New Year's party (), carefully tore off the yellow ribbon and sewed on a black one, + hand-sewed black tulle on top (longer than the skirt itself), and on it - a polka-dot ribbon.

I sewed a T-shirt from velvet (two rectangles), sewed a beaded frill on it (I wove it a long time ago) and white lace. Since the frill itself is quite heavy, I also sewed small straps from ribbons (they were not visible, they were hidden under the bolero).

I sewed the bolero according to a pattern from the Internet, treated the open sections with bias tape (oh, if only someone could teach me how to sew it on correctly), the cuffs were the remains of a polka dot ribbon from the skirt, the wings and tail were folded satin ribbon, sewn on by hand, it was easily sewn You can take off and wear bolero in everyday life. I immediately sewed the wing ribbon onto the bolero

and first collected the tail separately.

here the tail is a little visible

I also made this elastic band from leftover ribbons, but in the end it wasn’t worn.

I wanted to make a beak, but I didn’t like the idea of a beak sticking out of the forehead, and I couldn’t figure out how else to make it. A couple of days before the matinee I received, and there were black and white hairpins, so I decided to put them on my head))))

Most of the materials were found at home, purchased - black tulle, black satin ribbon (for the bottom of the skirt, wings and tail), black polka dot ribbon, I also bought a hairpin with black feathers, but it was not used. The teachers said that the costume was very original, and that they had never had such a magpie (and they have been working in the kindergarten for a long time). By the way, for some reason, in all the magpie costumes, the children have a white frill on the chest, although the bird itself has a black breast, and there is white on the tummy below, on the back and on the tips of the wings. Therefore, our costume is not entirely “correct”, but we all really liked it)))

And here are all our children

Unusual custom suits for New Year's celebration all kids love. A matinee in kindergarten is approaching, and the child got the image of a crow, and not an ordinary snowflake, snowman, bunny or squirrel? If you want your child to be unique, then it is best to make a dress with your own hands. Even if there are two crows in the New Year’s production, the outfits will still come out different and unique.

Crow costume for the play

The bird's decoration consists of several parts, but a mask and wings are required. To make a dress, you can buy fabric or use with improvised material, which you will find on the closet or in the pantry.

Fabric outfit

An easy cleaning job that can be done aspiring dressmaker, consists of two parts: a raven mask and wings. Choose the easy DIY crow costume method and start with the wings. To do this, prepare the following materials:

plain black fabric for the base;
black satin ribbons or braid for ties;
scraps of black fabric, lining or velvet;
spool of black thread;
needle or sewing machine.

For the base of the wings, take rectangle. Its length is equal to the distance from wrist to wrist of the little actor, and its width is about half a meter. Fold the rectangle in half and round the corners of the fabric with scissors. Divide the resulting semicircle in half into two wings, hem the sections or process them with an overlocker.

Cut feathers 7 cm high from individual flaps. To make the work go faster, you can fold the fabric into several layers, then from one strip you will get several feathers. Having prepared the feathers, proceed to sewing. Place the feathers on the base of the wing, starting from the bottom, and stitch row by row.

Sew satin ribbon, connecting the top of the wings, and adding ties in the middle to hold the whole model at the shoulders and waist. Additionally sew ribbons for fixing on the wrists. The crow's cloak is ready.

Paper raven decoration

Making a costume will not require large financial investments, but please be patient and take time. There will be work for the baby too, so together the time spent and communication will not be in vain.

Make a costume consisting of a T-shirt with a tail, wings and a headdress. To work you will need:

black cotton fabric - 1.5 m;
elastic knitwear - 0.5 m;
black shoe laces;
black elastic band - 30 cm;
round elastic band - 20 cm;
pattern paper;
ink or black gouache and brush;
glue "Moment";
spool of black thread and needle;
scissors.

Start crafting with the wings. Measure bent at the elbow the length of the baby's arm from hand to shoulder. On paper, make a pattern shaped like a crow's wing. The length of the wing is equal to the measurement of your hand, choose the width as desired. Transfer the pattern to the fabric and cut out. Make the detail of the second wing in a mirror image.

In order for a suit to fit well on a child, durable fastenings for the wings. Measure the elastic band along the shoulder and cut to the required length. Make two identical rubber bands. They will hold the suit like a school backpack. Attach the elastic bands to the base of the wings at the level of the shoulder blades and sew to the fabric blank.

Using a rubber band, make two pieces for a loop on your child’s finger. Thanks to these loops wing tips will be attached to the hand. You will have a base for the wings with elastic bands for the shoulders and loops for the fingers.

Go to feather making. Make paper blanks of different shapes and lengths. Bottom row - narrow and long feathers, up to 20 cm; the remaining rows are 10 cm.

The crow costume is black, so color all the feathers. black ink or gouache on both sides. The good thing about mascara is that it shines and doesn’t stain your hands.

When creating small feathers, make cuts on each edge with scissors, this will give more believability. Once all the feathers are ready, glue them onto the fabric part. Place them overlapping. After gluing the long feathers on the bottom, move on to the rest.

T-shirt with a tail. If you don’t have a ready-made black T-shirt or T-shirt, then take a child’s regular T-shirt to make the pattern. Attach it to a piece of black knitwear, circle it with chalk or a piece of soap and cut out two halves.

Machine sew the side parts, sew laces on the shoulders (two laces for each shoulder). Attach feathers in a chaotic order to the back of the T-shirt with glue and sew on a tail. To make the tail, cut out a long triangle onto which you glue the finished paper feathers.

The paper outfit is ready, it is suitable for New Year's party and for staging the play. Wear black leggings and black shoes under your suit. Put the wings on your child first, then a T-shirt on top, it will cover the elastic bands and ties.

Dress made from garbage bags

To start creativity you need an idea. If the teacher gave you an idea and said that your daughter will be a crow at the matinee, then all you have to do is come up with the style of the costume and choose the material for production. An unusual, inexpensive, lightweight material for creating any carnival outfit are garbage bags:

green - for decorating the Christmas tree;
blue and white - for decorating snowflakes;
black - suitable for a crow costume.

Choose a style for your future dress. Remember that clothes should be comfortable for the baby, so a long dress will be uncomfortable for the child. To work you will need:

dense black bags;
scissors;
black tape;
stapler;
cardboard;
linen elastic.

Take one bag as the basis for the suit and straighten it. Attach a T-shirt and use it to cut out the future dress or randomly cut out the neckline and armholes.

Divide the bags into strips 10 cm wide. Make a fringe of any width on each piece. Starting from the bottom of the dress, tape each strip to the base of the suit all the way to the top. Separately, make the frame of the wings from cardboard, attach elastic bands to them, which will hold the wings on the shoulders. Cover the cardboard frame with plastic fringe using tape.

Head adornment

The raven is a strict, wise, and at the same time spectacular bird, so an appropriate costume is needed. But it’s hard to imagine it without a beak and feathers on its head, so make a headdress. There are many options - masks, hats, hoods. Having chosen an option, proceed to creating the main accessory.

Simple Crow Mask Cap

A mask for a New Year's party can be made in origami style and secured with glue for strength. To do this, you will need a sheet of paper 41 cm long and 30 wide. Using a ruler, divide the short side into three equal parts and draw parallel lines. Measure 10 and 20 cm on straight lines on one side and place dots. Make cuts along the length of the sheet 10 cm to the first point, and across the length - from the second point to the drawn lines.

Turn the sheet over so that the lines are on the bottom. Glue the side strips to the middle strip one by one, like the edges of a box. Let the glue dry rear end mask caps are ready.

Now fold the middle cuts and glue them to the base of the cap at an angle of 45 degrees. The result is a hat with a wide visor, from which you need to make a beak. Fold the edges of the front part corner to corner and make a fold of 5 cm. Fold the edges of the beak inward. The fold in the middle will be the center of the raven's nose. Glue the edges of the paper from the bottom.

All that remains is to paint the mask black, make a white rim around the eyes, paint the beak yellow, and draw the nostrils.

Beanie cap

Take a simple children's hat and make a pattern using the principle of a T-shirt. Trace onto the fabric and connect the two pieces.

Cut out two squares of 10 by 10 cm from paper and cover one side with black paint or ink. Fold the dried squares into triangles, bending two corners towards the middle. Glue the resulting blanks and connect them to each other. For beauty, glue red stripes in the beak. Fix the finished beak on the headdress.

Then, starting from the bottom row, glue the feathers onto the entire fabric in a checkerboard pattern. For the hat you will need small feathers with notched edges. Decorate the girl's headdress with a bow on the top of her head.

Simple and stylish raven

If the boy is a schoolboy, then you probably have a black one school dress. You don’t need to sew anything to it, just wear a black turtleneck and black shoes under your suit. But take care of the headdress separately. A top hat and a paper raven mask will go well with a black formal suit. You can print the template by finding a suitable picture on the Internet.

A simple material you will need for a top hat is paper. Take black paper or then paint the finished headdress with black paint. To make a cylinder you will need:

Whatman paper or cardboard 1 mm thick;
compass and ruler;
PVA glue and brushes;
scissors, tailor's tape;
paints.

You need to get three parts from cardboard:

circle (bottom of the cylinder);
rectangle (for crown);
a circle with a hole in the center (its diameter is equal to the bottom of the hat).

Before you start making a hat, take measurements for the pattern. Using a tailor's tape, measure the circumference of the head and calculate the radius of the circle at the base of the cylinder. The circumference of a child's head is, for example, 50 cm, then the radius will be 50 / (2 * 3.14) = 50 / 6.28 = 8 cm.

Using a compass, draw a circle with a radius of 8 cm. From the same center, draw a circle equal to the width of the hat brim. Carefully cut out a large circle. Without cutting the margins, remove the smaller circle from it. You now have two parts: the fields and the base of the cylinder.

Tulya - top part hats from bottom to brim. To make a crown, draw a rectangle on paper with a width equal to the circumference of the child’s head and a height equal to the height of the hat. Leave a 2 cm allowance on both sides of the width to fasten the cylinder and cut the allowances in 2 cm increments. You have the third part ready.

You can collect a hat. First of all, glue the crown. Apply glue to the allowance along the height and overlap the edges of the rectangle: a cylinder is formed.

Bend the notched allowances of the cylinder perpendicularly: for the lower part outward, for the upper part - inward. Apply a little glue to the bottom allowances, put the brim through the pipe part and press tightly to the glued elements.

Apply glue to the top seams and carefully glue the base of the hat.

The hat is almost ready, all that remains is to paint the product black.

Raven mask with beak

To make the image realistic, create a paper crow mask with your own hands using a ready-made papier-mâché template in the shape of the child’s face. Black feathers and a massive beak are the main details of the image. To work you will need:

making a crow mask for your head (you can print it on a printer);
cardboard;
black tape;
scissors;
old newspapers;
black paint and brushes;
salt and flour for paste;
glue and glitter;
black feathers;
acrylic lacquer.

Before making a crow's beak out of paper, draw and cut out an equilateral triangle from cardboard, bend it in half to make a semblance of a beak. Take the finished template and use tape to stick the beak onto the mask in the nose area.

Mix two parts flour and one part salt with a glass of water. Connect the components carefully.

Tear old newspaper into small strips. Moisten pieces of paper in the flour mixture and apply masks to the workpiece. Make four layers of papier-mâché. By applying more and fewer layers in different places, you can give relief to the beak: mark the hump in the middle, outline the notches at the nostrils. Let the product dry.

Using a wide brush, paint the finished mask with black paint and immediately sprinkle with glitter. Once completely dry, remove any excess glitter powder. Apply a thin strip of glue along the entire contour of the mask and glue black feathers along the edge of the mask. You can glue on several layers of feathers for pomp.

Cover the finished beak with shiny varnish and let dry. Decorate the eye holes with shiny rhinestones.

Magpie - sister of the crow

The costume of the white-sided magpie differs from that of the crow only in color. The crow is completely black, while the magpie has a white chest, sides and part of the feathers on the wings.

To create a magpie costume you need two colors of fabric, black and white. A lot of bright jewelry will come in handy: beads, earrings, bracelets, toys.

Take a square piece of black fabric and cut a circle on it, the diameter of which should be equal to the distance from the neck to the child’s hand. Cut the circle radius to the center. The base of the cape is almost ready. Finish the edges with an overlocker. Sew ribbons for fastening on the neck and small loops of elastic bands for attaching to the finger. Make a collar and cuffs from white fabric. Cut feathers from a 7 cm wide ribbon and sew them to the cape.

New Year costume decorate with Christmas tree tinsel. Sew a beak triangle and eyes from yellow felt with black buttons to the finished hat.

Attention, TODAY only!

The magpie is one of the most recognizable birds. It is distinguished by its unique, memorable color and interesting model behavior. Therefore, this bird is a favorite heroine of many children's cartoons and films.

Features of making a magpie costume with your own hands

The magpie costume is not inferior in popularity to the outfits of princesses and overseas beauties. On the contrary, he distinctive feature- this is image recognition. The outfit should use only two colors: black and white. However, this color scheme does not look sad at all.

It’s very easy to make an outfit with your own hands because... there is no strict regulation on its content. It all depends on the author’s imagination and the availability of the necessary materials.

Reference! In most cases, the outfit consists of a main dress, a cape, a scarf and a beak. All other components and accessories can be taken ready-made.

What you need to make a magpie costume

The first thing you should do is look for black and white things in the girl’s wardrobe. These can be dresses, skirts, turtlenecks, blouses or T-shirts. Therefore, the main part of the costume doesn’t even need to be sewn. So, a black skirt and a white T-shirt or a plain dress will look great as a base.

If you want to sew something more realistic, you need to prepare the appropriate materials. Fabric will also be needed for sewing a cape, scarf, tail and other elements. The size of the required fabric is usually indicated in the patterns. When making them yourself, it needs to be calculated based on the child’s parameters.

Materials and tools needed to make the costume:

black and white fabric;
threads;
needle;
scissors;
rubber;
black cap;
glue;
gray tights;
colored paper and cardboard;
fashionable and bright accessories.

Important! Satin works well as a fabric. It has a beautiful bright texture and is not very expensive.

Methods for constructing a magpie costume for a girl and instructions

Let's look at ways to create costume elements. So, you can take the girl’s existing clothes as a basis. Many also use gymnastics training leotards as a base. A bright scarf looks good as a skirt. The most spectacular option is a fluffy tutu skirt made of white and black tulle or a combination of both. You can sew a real tutu with a lining and a zipper. However, there is an easier option without using a sewing machine.

To do this, you need to buy tulle, the amount of which depends on the length of the skirt and the desired pomp. Next, it needs to be cut into rectangles 10-15 centimeters wide. It is better to use a soft elastic band 2.5-3 cm wide as a belt. It is necessary to measure the girl’s waist and subtract a couple of centimeters from this number, because The elastic tends to stretch.

Next, the elastic is ground into a ring. The resulting belt can be placed on the back of a chair and strips of tulle can be attached to it. Each strip is folded in half and attached to the elastic using a knot. By the way, you can experiment with nodes. In this simple way, you can make a fluffy skirt without sewing in a couple of hours. If desired, the skirt can be made multi-tiered: shorter in front than in the back, creating the effect of an impromptu tail.

Attention! If out of stock matching dress, then you can sew an ordinary children's trapeze dress. To make it, you can take the most a simple pattern from a sewing magazine, consisting of two parts. The neckline and armhole are usually finished with piping and simple folding of the fabric inward.

Sewing a cape is the most difficult process in making a costume, because... it should imitate wings. It is better to sew it from satin, silk or other light fabric. It is necessary to cut out a circle from the material with curly edges at the bottom and make a recess for the neck. Additionally, it can be decorated with a small bib like a baby’s bib, imitating the white breast of a bird.

Next, it’s worth starting to design the face of this bird. It’s easier, of course, to buy a ready-made mask in specialized departments. Making it yourself with the whole family is much more interesting. This is where a pre-purchased hat comes in handy. It is better if it is made of light, breathable material so that the child does not feel hot.

Eyes and beak can be cut out of colored paper and then glued onto fabric. If it is not possible to make a muzzle, then the simplest headdress for a magpie can be fluffy bows in black and white. You can also combine the headdress from a black cap, cutting the visor in such a way that it resembles a bird’s beak. It can be covered with leather or covered with colored paper.

It is better to make the beak separately and then attach it to a hat or mask. To do this you will need thick black cardboard. It needs to be rolled into a narrow cone and glued. In its manufacture, proportions should be observed so that the beak can be easily placed on the child’s nose. It’s easy to adjust the length of the cone: just trim off a couple of extra centimeters. It is necessary to make a couple of holes at the top so that this product can breathe.

To make a slightly open beak, an additional triangle-shaped part is cut out. It should be less than the length of the beak. It is then glued to the bottom of the beak. For comfortable dressing and wearing, an invisible narrow elastic band is sewn on.

Create accessories to complete your look

In many cartoons and books, a magpie is depicted wearing a bright scarf. It will add recognition to the image and also dilute the black and white palette. The image of a magpie will be unrealistic without a large amount of jewelry and accessories.

It is known that this heroine loves everything bright and shiny. Therefore, it is necessary to choose beautiful jewelry. Beads made from real rowan berries will look impressive if it is autumn. You can make them yourself by threading berries onto a string.

Important! A black hat with a large feather will look beautiful and interesting.

A spectacular small handbag with beads and rhinestones will complete the look. This is where the thief magpie will put its prey. You can add a couple of bright notes with makeup. For children, it is better to use safe water-based body art paints. It is easy to apply and quickly washes off with soapy water. So, it is better to depict a small funny bird on the cheek.

Thus, there are many options for making your own magpie costume. There are both simple and budget options, as well as more complex ones that require special effort and time. We hope that this article will be useful in preparing for the holiday event.

My daughter and I chose this costume (she performs in a skit at matinees).

As you can see, making such a suit is not at all difficult. So, you will need a white satin blouse, two pieces of satin fabric (white and black), a black hat (preferably made of light material), paper, gray tights, a bright red scarf, and beads (we made rowan beads).

So, the first thing you need to do is design the bird’s face (cut out eyes and beak from paper or cardboard), paint it and glue everything onto the hat.

Sew a cape from even and white satin. Sewing the cape is the most difficult part of creating a costume.

Use a bright scarf as a skirt.

In general, you can buy a mask in a store, then you don’t have to bother with a cap. My daughter had beads made from both beads and rowan, it looked original.

Carnival costume Magpie for children's parties you can make it yourself. There are many options for implementing a costume, coming from appearance magpie birds. This is black and white plumage. Since the magpie is a bird that loves everything that glitters, beads and other bright decorations can be used in the costume.

Sketch of a magpie costume:

And this is brought to reality:

See the description of this costume here:

This magpie costume is very easy to make and will suit both boys and girls:

A very simple solution on how to make a magpie (crow) costume for a boy. You simply sew a fringe to a black jacket, and sew a beak on the eye on the hood:

As an idea, I’ll also suggest this version of the magpie costume. But, unfortunately, there is no MK and no pattern. I think anyone who knows how to sew will master it :)

I wish you success!

I offer the SOROKA costume, which consists of the following elements:

Sundress;
Kerchief;
Typical wings;
Various accessories.

Work process

1) Sundress. take any suitable pattern and sew an A-shaped sundress; you can decorate it with red satin bows;

3) Headscarf. Make it out of satin, sew on eyes and a beak, which is easy to make even from black cardboard;

4) Accessories. Large bright beads and a bracelet are suitable.

A magpie costume doesn’t have to be just black and white.

You can create this image of a cartoon magpie.

We select bright clothes from those in the wardrobe or sew them.

For example, white blouse, a bright skirt, a bright scarf and an apron.

Now the most important thing is to make the wings, tail and mask of the magpie.

Wings are made in different ways. It can be in the form of a cape.

To make a tail, just sew three wide black and white ribbons together and fasten them to the waistband of your skirt.

To make a magpie mask, an ordinary cap is suitable, with a beak attached to the visor made of cardboard, and eyes cut out of colored paper to the cap itself.

I propose to take this Raven costume as a basis and change it a little - add white stripes on the sides and use white feathers instead of black ones. We will only redo the top; on the legs you can wear either a black and white skirt or black trousers, on which we will sew white stripes.

Let's take an old black jacket as a basis. Cut out a beak from two pieces of black felt; in order for it to be hooked, the template must be curved, triangular in shape. We sew our beak to the hood so that it hangs slightly over the face.

Now let's sew on the eyes - you can take a circle of yellow fabric, and sew a black button inside, decorate the sides with white feathers, if available, of course.

You can decorate the sides of the jacket with the same feathers; if not, just sew on white stripes.

Soroka - great option for a carnival or theatrical performance. My daughter also goes to kindergarten. And for her I would make a similar version of the costume.

A black gymnastic leotard would be a good base. On top of which you can put a white blouse or sew a white shirtfront (like a bib).

The most beautiful element is a fluffy tulle skirt made of white and black tulle. See how to create it here.

Two rows of black and white tulle are attached to the sleeves - the wings are ready.

You can put a black beret, a thin cap, or a scarf on your head. If desired, it can also be supplemented with tulle frills.

The result is a fashionable and beautiful image.

I know that you can make a lot of scenes with a magpie costume, since this bird is found in many fairy tales and stories.

To make this costume you need very little material. first you need to take White dress, this will be the body of a magpie. Now we need to take regular black fabric with which we will make wings. Their size will be according to your taste. They need to be sewn to the sleeves of the dress. If you have a boy, then it is best for you to take classics, black pants and white shirt and also sew the wings to the shirt or attach something to the shirt so as not to spoil it. Here are examples of costumes that will be useful to you.

Magpie Costume do/sew not difficult. The most important thing is to buy fabric in two colors - black and white.

Then we make a dress pattern and a cape. Why do we need a dress, you ask. I will answer. The dress will create an imitation of white feathers, and the black cape will create an imitation of black feathers).

The dress can be sewn using the simplest pattern. I offer you this one. It can be found in any sewing magazine.

But if you don't have the opportunity to sew, then I suggest take plain white summer dress, and we’ll make a cape for it in twenty minutes, no more.

If we sew, then we use, for example, this pattern of a simple dress:

As you can see, we are making only two parts of the dress. Just fold it white fabric in half and apply the pattern to the fold. Cut and then sew. We will process the armholes, neckline, and hem the bottom of the product.

Now let's work on the cape.

Let's make it from a simple circle. We cut it on either side, sew on black laces or ribbons to make it easy to remove/put on the cape.

Along the edges of the circle we must make an imitation of feathers. Therefore, we simply cut the bottom of the product, creating triangles. If you have a machine, they can be processed.

By the way, the cape pattern is simple and looks like this:

You can make a hat from black knitwear on your head and sew on it eyes made of felt, for example.

Magpie costume comprises:

The basics are a white or light colored dress.
Additional attributes of a magpie: wings, jewelry, beak, etc.

You can buy a dress and then sew black fabric triangles onto it to make wings. The dress must have long sleeves.

The magpie costume is quite simple, except for the cap with the beak.

The costume consists of two elements - a cap and wings with a tail.

The cap is made from a black cap or fabric, and on top of it is a beak, it can be made from thin tin.

The wings can be made from black fabric by cutting the fabric at the ends in the form of pimples and sewing a silver or even white ribbon along the contour.

And be sure to not forget the tail, it should not be too big, but not small either.
