Of course, you can buy a fancy dress in the store. The choice there is simply huge: the traditional bear or hare costume hangs next to the outfit of a robot, Zorro or Spider-Man. But modern costumes are not cheap, not every family can afford such a purchase. And okay, if a costume was required only for the New Year, in many kindergartens all themed matinees are held in costume. And for children's birthdays, they are often asked to bring a child in a costume. So if you like it or not, but many mothers have to take up a needle and scissors and remember what they were taught at school in needlework lessons. But not everything is so difficult, even a novice craftswoman can sew a bear costume.

Quick Bear Costume

This costume is suitable for a matinee in the garden and can be made in just an hour. The outfit consists of ears, mittens, a ponytail and a bow around the neck, like a bear from the cartoon "Masha and the Bear". We will need a small patch of satin, brown faux fur, a thick headband and a couple of safety pins. Fromchintz we make a bow tie. From the fur you need to cut out the mittens, ears and tail of the bear. Then cut off a strip of material, sheathe a bezel on it, attach ears on top. You can pre-seal the ears and tail with padding polyester or cardboard. We attach the butterfly and tail to the child's clothes with safety pins. The bear costume is ready!

Carnival bear costume

This costume will take a little longer to make, about four hours. For him, you need to take 80-100 centimeters of faux fur, a piece of leatherette, artificial eyes from a needlework store. We measure the volume of the child's head and cut out a cap-muzzle of a bear. We make a spout from leatherette, ears from fur, sew them on a hat and glue eyes. We cut out shorts, a vest and mittens from faux fur. We sew a fur tail to the shorts, glue triangular claws cut out of leatherette on the mittens. To keep the paws from falling off the child, you can insert an elastic band into them in a circle.

Jumpsuit with hood

Sewing such a bear costume is somewhat more difficult than the previous ones, but the result will be excellent. If you take white faux fur instead of brown, you get a polar bear costume. Most likely, the child will ask that the outfit be dressed for him not only on holidays, but also for everyday games. The basis of the costume is a jumpsuit. Patterns that match the age and size of the child can be found in needlework magazines or on the Internet. Or you can lay out any overalls from the baby’s wardrobe on the fur fabric and circle, not forgettingleave seam allowances. Do not worry, the fur will hide all the flaws. Mittens for this costume can not be cut out. The front of the bear costume must be fastened with a zipper, internal buttons or snaps. You need to insert elastic bands along the edge of the trousers and sleeves, sew ears on the hood, and a ponytail on the ass.

Perhaps sewing will captivate you so much that you dare to sew a bear costume for the father of a child or another adult. Check out the options on the Internet, there are very funny outfits.
