Every child always knows what hero or animal costume he wants to be at the New Year's carnival. In this article we will talk about how to make a do-it-yourself squirrel costume.

Basic

It is necessary to start preparing the attire from the most important outfit. It can be a dress, a skirt with a jacket or even a trouser suit. There are many options for how to sew a squirrel costume and how it can look like in the end result. However, an important point: it is much better if the clothes are orange, because it is such a squirrel that looks like in all children's drawings. But you should not dress the baby completely in all the same color, it will not be interesting. For example, a girl's golf jacket may be white or gray, this is how a breast may look like in a forest animal. It is also good for the child to wear white or light-colored knee socks or tights so that the costume is elegant. It is necessary to take care of the shoes, they should at least go with something in tone. If there are only dark shoes, the child will need to give a dark-colored basket in his hands, in which the squirrel can collect nuts.

Ears

Intending to make the squirrel suit his ownhands, you must also take care of how the ears of this beauty will look, because they distinguish this animal from other forest dwellers. It is worth recalling that the ears of the squirrel are with tassels, so they should look the same on the child. To do this, you can sew ordinary triangular ears (which are attached to the hoop), just insert a little pile from above into the corner (even from an ordinary paint brush). That's it, the ears for the squirrel costume are completely ready!

Tail

What kind of carnival costume "squirrel" will do without a tail? This is a very important detail that should not be forgotten. However, making a tail for this animal is not so easy. It must be remembered that in these rodents it is almost always beautifully and with a bend raised up. To make such a tail, you will need a belt that will be at the child's waist, a wire structure, and also fur. A wire (made in the form of an oval, slightly pointed at the ends) is attached to the belt so that the fur sewn along the edges can be pulled on it. The height of the structure is approximately 45 centimeters (based on a 5-year-old baby). You also need to wrap the belt with fur. The tail itself is unlikely to hold up well, so you can make thin straps out of fur that will be worn as if the child did not have a tail, but a backpack behind his back. That's all, the product is ready!

Makeup

Preparing the costume "squirrel", with her own hands, the mother can make the child and make-up. It can be special face paints,which you will need to draw at least a black dot on the nose of the child - the nose of the animal. But you can also make a light make-up for a girl, the little ones really like it. It is worth noting that in this version of the New Year's costume, you should not be afraid of bright colors, because a squirrel can be a coquette that is not afraid to paint with red lipstick.

Tinsel

When preparing a New Year's costume "squirrel" with your own hands, it is worth remembering that it should be as festive as possible. New Year's tinsel - that's what will decorate the attire. She can sheathe the edges of clothes (if they are not trimmed with fur), you can hang a New Year's rain around your neck in the form of beads. The outfit is complete!
