Making a carnival outfit begins with cutting out a bandana from a red chiffon cut over the child's head, the edges of which need to be processed with an overlock or a regular zigzag on a sewing machine.

Next:

• sewn from satin shirt with high cuffs and wide sleeves;
• an elongated vest of the simplest style is cut out of fabric under the skin or suede;
• sew details;
• they make long leggings from fabric in the color of the shoes - so that by putting them on together and turning the "tops" away, you get something like over the knee boots;

The problem of the hairstyle with which your "Jack Sparrow" should appear on the matinee (the costume without it willincomplete), you can solve it differently by sewing pigtails woven from thick black yarn onto a bandana.

Work order

To make a Jack Sparrow costume (for children) you need to make:

Bandana and hairdo

Take old red and black (brown) T-shirts. From the first cut out a large triangular piece for a bandana. The second is cut into thin strips. Sew them to the bandana and weave them in threes to make pigtails. Decorate the "hair" with beads.

Shirt

To make this important item of a pirate wardrobe, dad's or mom's white shirt is suitable if it has long sleeves. To give it the look you want, you can either sew lace or a frill to its cuff, or fasten it above its usual position. It is also worth decorating the shirt collar. The same lace works well for this.

Vest

You can sew it from the oldjacket by cutting off the sleeves and sewing on large shiny metal buttons and pockets.

Pirate hat

You can sew it yourself or give the appropriate look to an old hat. To do this, 3 fragments are cut out to fit the size of the boy's head. Then they are glued to the hat. If the headdress has wide brim, then they can be fixed on the crown so that a cocked hat is obtained. A paper cut image of the Jolly Roger can be pasted onto the hat.

Pants

Here you can do with any dark pants, preferably without "arrows".

Treads

2 trapeziums are cut out of a piece of leatherette and each piece is sewn along the side. Fix the resulting sockets on the top of the boot. Decorate shoes with large shiny buckles.

Belt

In the movie, Jack Sparrow wore a long white sash with a thin red stripe. It can be made from a piece of cloth or a suitable long scarf.

Accessories

First of all, you will need 2 or 3 leather straps to be worn on top of the scarf, and another to throw over your shoulder like a harness.

In addition, Jack Sparrow, whose costume is easy to make on his own, adored all sorts of "trinkets". Therefore, it is worth picking up leather laces and baubles, as well as rings with skulls and small multi-colored beads or a “necklace” of coins and keys.

You will also need a toy pistol and a sword or saber.

Wig

If your son wants to look exactly the same at the holiday,like Jack Sparrow, the costume will need to be supplemented with the most similar wig and make-up to match. For example, a very natural “hairstyle” will turn out if you use black nylon tights (4 pairs). They are cut into pieces across and stretched so that twisted ring laces are obtained. Then they are cut and flagella are obtained. When the "strands" are ready, the base is made. To do this, use a wide black elastic band and sew the crossbars from one ear to the other, plus one transverse one - from the forehead to the back of the head. Then flagella are fixed on the base in a circle, with a bandana pinned from above in several places.

Makeup

No matter what the costume will be, you will need to arm yourself with a contour pencil to paint on your Jack Sparrow's eyes, beard and mustache. If you wish, use the purchased "vegetation" for the face. You can also tie a black headband with sewn-on pigtails, such as on a wig, to create a beard like a pirate.

Mask

Although makeup will suffice, your son may want to wear a mask. To complement Jack Sparrow's New Year's costume with it, you will need a printer. An image of a pirate's face is printed on it, cut out and pasted onto cardboard. In the upper part, the same piece of fabric is fixed with a stapler, which went to the bandana. Cut out holes for the eyes. Attach an elastic band to the mask, which will be hidden under the wig.

Compass

If you carefully watched the movie, then remember that something was hanging on the pirate's beltbrilliant. This part of the costume was a compass. It can be made from any box by pasting it with foil.

Now you know how to make a Jack Sparrow costume for a boy, and you can dress up your naughty to become the star of a school or kindergarten New Year's carnival.
