Petrushka is the favorite hero of farce fair performances. A cheerful, sharp-tongued buffoon who is not afraid to ridicule either law enforcement officers, or royal boyars, or the Tsar-father himself. The Petrushka doll was always in Russia in every traveling theater, and genre scenes played with her participation invariably gathered crowds of peasants and townspeople in any locality. The appearance of the toy is easily recognizable, and your child in this image at the New Year's party will be an undeniable success!

Parts and accessories

Petrushka's costume must meet two requirements: the brightness of the design and the preservation of the Russian folk flavor. We emphasize: this is a Russian folklore hero. About him, his pranks were created by unknown authors from the people, and then by professional writers.

The outfit consists of a cap, a shirt with a sash, wide trousers and boots. It is easy to make it from improvised means, having some additional accessories.

Cap cap

Petrushka's costume can be both withsingle cap, and with double cap. The first is made from flexible cardboard and painted to match the clothes. Or it is covered with a fabric, and multi-colored circles, shreds, etc. are glued onto it. Be sure to decorate the hat with confetti! After all, this is an outfit for the holiday! The cone of the cap ends with a bell (you can buy a small sample at the gift shop) or a bell pom-pom - it is easy to make it from a piece of fabric and cotton wool. You can diversify Petrushka's costume, giving it a fabulous shade, and instead of a pom-pom, make a tassel of sparkling Christmas tree "rain" or tinsel.

Two-horn headdress is a little more difficult to make - you need to sew a hat from two caps. The material should be multi-colored. Decorate as the first option. In order for the "horns" to retain their shape, they need to be stuffed with a little cotton wool or foam rubber.

Top of outfit

Petrushka's costume includes a shirt in the style of a Russian kosovorotka. The color should be bright, catchy: scarlet, orange, sunny yellow. It’s not difficult to sew this one! Yes, the material must be taken “with a sheen”: silk, satin, satin. At the collar, it must be pulled together with a lace or elastic band (so that there is no wide neck). Paste the bottom of the sleeves with a decorative shiny ribbon from those with which bouquets are made. Next, Petrushka's costume is decorated with sewn mugs of multi-colored shreds. Do not forget about confetti, it, together with the rest of the decormagically transform a t-shirt. And also trim the bottom with a shiny ribbon. Don't be afraid of sloppiness! At the carnival, she fits!

Petrushka's children's costume involves pants of a special style - wide, tucked into boots, made of material in two contrasting colors: yellow and blue, green and red, etc.

Colored patches are also sewn onto the pants (the more cheerful the color scheme, the more successful the carnival costume will turn out).

Belt

Such an accessory as a belt is very important for an outfit. Firstly, it complements the costume very well, emphasizing ethnic motifs in it. Secondly, it helps to hide the excessively large size of the “shirt”. The carnival belt is sewn in the same way as a regular one, only decorate the ends like a hat - with pompoms, bells, tassels (so that the accessories harmonize and complete the image).

Shoes

Any boots will do. They can also be decorated as desired.
