Very often, when preparing for a New Year's party, parents of children are asked to prepare creative ones for their children, often on a specific theme, and fruit and vegetable dishes are very often used at such holidays. We offer the first version of a handmade carrot costume for older girls - it will come with a beautiful corduroy skirt. But first things first. Let's start working from the bottom of the suit.

To create a costume we will need the following materials: a piece of tulle orange color(about 2-3 m), elastic band about 2-3 cm wide, threads. For the top you can use either golf or any T-shirt in orange or soft green. Let's look at the process of creating a tulle skirt:

• Cut the tulle into strips 70x20 cm.
• We measure the child’s waist and cut off a piece of elastic of the same length (don’t forget to add a couple of centimeters of extra space).
• We fix the edges of the elastic together with pins and stretch it either over a large book or over the back of a chair.

• Take a strip of tulle and fold it in half. We thread the semblance of a loop obtained in this way under the elastic band and wrap it in a loop, and push the end of the tulle through this loop. Tighten the finished loop tighter and align it so that the strip has a clearly vertical position.
• We proceed in the same way with the remaining tulle strips. If you have a desire, you can experiment and try to make a tutu skirt. To do this, it is necessary to place the strips tightened with a loop at a slight angle to the elastic band.

Advice. To make the skirt fluffy, use as many tulle stripes as possible, but do not overdo it, otherwise it may turn out to be an “accordion”.

• If you wish, you can add a few green tulle stripes, as well as various accessories like a bow made from ribbon (you can either tie it around an elastic band, or sew a ribbon already tied with a bow onto an elastic band).

The top for a New Year's costume can be a regular green T-shirt without various inscriptions and drawings. Only one detail remains - the headdress. The simplest option is to use a regular children's hoop without decorations, onto which a small carrot-shaped decoration made of paper/fabric is glued. You can try a more complicated option - from a small piece of fabric, gathered with an elastic band, we make a hat, and on its upper part we sew an imitation of green carrot tops. Job completed!

Paper carrot costume

The first step is to choose a paper suitable for the job - it should be thick enough and at the same time elastic so that when the child moves, kinks do not form on the suit. We measure the distance from the shoulder to the girl’s waist and then cut out the base for the costume in the form of a trapezoid using the paper blank. We place it with the wide side down. Then you can glue the edges (this must be done very carefully).

Advice. Before gluing the base together, be sure to make sure that the child fits into the costume and feels comfortable in it.

After the base is finally “approved”, you can start painting it (we use, of course, paints for drawing). The main color is orange, then we add some black horizontal stripes to add color and authenticity to the image.

Carefully cut holes for the arms in the trapezoid. All that remains is to make a cap for the head. We use the same cone-shaped paper as a base, paint it orange and glue the cap together. To keep it firmly on your head, we attach an elastic band to it. To do this, you need to make two small holes along the edges of the headdress and thread an elastic band through them.

We add the tops to the cap, using a small thickness of wire as a base (we form it into a base in the form of a circle with “rays” extending from it) and small pieces of green fabric, which we sew onto this base. All that remains is to attach the wire to the cap. The costume is ready!

Advice. Instead of paper, you can use foam rubber, which will serve as an excellent soft base for a costume and, by the way, may even be more comfortable for your child.

The foam base is made in exactly the same way as the paper base. And an ordinary green scarf can serve as tops. If you don’t have a suitable ready-made accessory, try sewing a small frill or scarf yourself. This shouldn't be difficult. Instead of a neck decoration, you can make a headdress that imitates tops from a cap, hoop, etc.

Our master class is coming to an end. It offered several options for a carrot costume that can be easily made at home. We wish you good luck and creative inspiration!

Carrot costume for a matinee: video

Valentina Bodrova

Lately I've been tired of the usual hats flat printed with images vegetables for skits and round dances. I thought for a very long time about how to make them more interesting and brighter. In the end, this is what happened.

Material: colored corrugated paper, Whatman paper, ruler, pencil, scissors, stapler (or glue gun).

Step-by-step photos are presented using beets as an example.

1. To begin with, I took whatman paper and cut off a 7cm strip. and stapled the edges together. The result is a frame.

2. Then I measured burgundy corrugated paper along the length of the frame and folded it in half, so it’s stronger.

3. Using scissors, I made cuts on the paper at equal distances, approximately 4 cm long.

4. I stapled the paper and frame in a circle using a stapler. hats(fastened with staples inward so that they would not catch on children’s hair).

5. I assembled the top, folded the corners and stapled it together to form a cone.

6. From green corrugated paper, folded in half, cut out the tops.

7. The resulting cone hats I turned it inside out and attached the tops from the inside to make the beets round.

I made carrots and onions using the same principle. Only on the bow, so that the feathers stand, I fold them several times and attach each one separately. And I drew “eyes” on the carrots with marker.

I made the potatoes a little differently. I cut out a square from brown corrugated paper and covered the frame on top. caps this way so that the paper remains on top, and secure it on four sides. Then I collected the remaining paper evenly in a circle. I stapled it on top in several places from the inside to create “eyes.”

Lesson summary “Dandelions for Little Red Riding Hood” Full name of the teacher - Olga Sergeevna Ivantsova Preschool organization - MBDOU kindergarten No. 81 in the city of Orel Position - Educational teacher.

And for the matinee on March 8, we staged the “Daisies” dance. To make it more interesting, we decided to make these funny daisy hats. Children.

Master class “Basket of Vegetables” using non-traditional drawing techniques (plasticineography) with children of the second junior group Goals:.

IN once again Hello. Dear colleagues! This time I bring to your attention attributes that are very necessary for us, music directors.

I have always loved to do handicrafts. With the advent of 2017 (Year fire rooster) I decided to please the children and make it for New Year's.

Children love to act out different scenes (dramatizations of fairy tales, cartoons). The necessary costumes are not always available in kindergarten or at home.

In the fall you may need a "seasonal" carnival costume chick for kindergarten- after all, the autumn festival will probably be held there! A non-standard costume - carrots - will look original and bright on any little girl. Of course, you can purchase a ready-made carnival outfit in a regular or online store. But does it make sense to spend money if creating it yourself is very easy? In addition, you can use the creative act as educational moment: Let the child help you, compose a fairy tale about this vegetable, learn poems about it. This is a great opportunity to chat with your baby on an educational topic: what other vegetables does she know, what can be made from carrots... A smart mother will always find something to interest her! And your daughter will be pleased to wear the “work” if its creation is associated with your attention for her.

How to sew a carrot dress suit for a girl

So, it was decided to sew a “carrot” suit - of course, a dress would suit the young lady. What you will need for an inexpensive and uncomplicated option:

as a pattern - the daughter’s already existing loose dress or tunic;

fabric - orange (on the dress) and green (on the collar) ichok) gabardine;

orange thread, the same button and a piece of bias tape;

elastic for the bottom edge;

everything for sewing - basting needle, machine, scissors.

Important! Gabardine is a wonderful fabric, one drawback: it frays, be careful with the needle.

When all the materials and tools are at hand, you can begin:

Cut out the main part like a tunic;

Make the neckline in a semicircle (when sewn, it will be more oval);

On the back, make a small additional teardrop-shaped cutout in the neckline - to make it convenient to put the finished item on over your head;

Cut the facing for the neck according to its shape, process it from the outer edge, stitch it with the neck, turn it inside out and sew with a reinforcing seam on the front side;

Sew on a button, make a loop of thread for it;

Sew the side seams, finish with a frequent zigzag (option: overlock stitch);

Fold 5 mm at the edges of the sleeves and machine stitch;

Fold the bottom of the dress and form a drawstring, also stitch, leaving an area of ​​1-2 cm unstitched to thread the elastic;

Thread the elastic, gather the bottom, sew the edges of the elastic.

The main part of our “root vegetable” is ready, but you must admit, this sheath dress doesn’t look like a carrot yet! Because she has tops. This is where green gabardine comes in handy.

If you are not sure that you will be able to immediately cut out the “greens” figuratively, use paper template for applying contour to fabric:

Cut out the “leaves”;

Apply bias tape to the inside of the collar, leaving 20-25 cm of tape on both sides - these will be the ties;

Unfold the binding and sew it to the wrong side of the neckline;

Fold it over to the front side and stitch it as well.

Important! Curly edges should be carefully processed using a match or lighter to prevent the fabric from fraying.

We build a carrot costume from separate parts: skirt + turtleneck

Another version of the carrot outfit is possible: in two parts, and sewing machine you won't need it. You can create an airy, fluffy, bright tulle skirt without it!

AND So, for the second - prefabricated - option you will need:

a piece of orange tulle (at least 2 m long);

wide elastic - it will act as a belt and hold the skirt on the figure;

needle, threads in color, scissors.

Important! Use medium-hard tulle. The hard one will stick out unattractively, and it will be uncomfortable for the baby to touch it, and the soft one will not hold its shape.

When all the materials have been collected, we begin making the skirt:

You should estimate, based on the height of the small model, how long the skirt is required, and cut the tulle into strips: 50x20, 75x20 or any other required length;

Measure the waist circumference and mark on the elastic band, plus 2-3 cm. Pin the edges with pins. Put the elastic on something so that it is convenient to attach tulle strips to it (the back of a chair will do);

Attach the strips to it, tying it with loose knots, in a circle. If you want your skirt to be full, don’t skimp on tulle;

Sew the ends of the elastic. The skirt is ready.

For a complete set, you need to find a suitable top - a turtleneck, a T-shirt, a green blouse (you can also have an orange one, but then you will need an additional accessory or a hat).

Other carrot costume options for girls

There are several other easy ways to create a costume:

Very simple. Buy orange lining fabric (from 1 m), cut a neck hole in it. Cut a circle out of cardboard - also with a hole, so that it lies comfortably on the child’s shoulders. Put a cape on top, figure out how to cut it so that the cape tapers downwards. On the head - attach a “top” made of green paper, sold in flower shops, to a hairband;

"Upside down". In this case, the “tops” will be at the bottom - pick up any, preferably loose, green clothes - a dress, overalls, blouse with trousers. And the carrot itself will be a hat - roll up a cone from thick colored paper. You can also use a simple white Whatman paper, and the child himself will paint it with orange paint (by taking part in creative process). To keep the hat tighter, you can attach ties or an elastic band to it;

“Very ripe carrot.” You will need an orange raincoat fabric - cut out two triangles. The top edge is the size of the shoulders, the length is to the knees (do not forget about the allowances for processing). Trimmings of padding polyester or foam rubber will help give the “root crop” volume - they need to be attached on the wrong side. Sew together two halves of the pattern, leaving holes for the head, arms and legs, and leave a slit in the back from top to bottom. You can be puzzled and sew in a zipper - but black lacing will look more interesting. You can decorate the entire product with the same laces and be sure to pull them a little, wrinkling the material - relief will appear. Do carrots have black stripes? For such a naturalistic option, you will need an equally expressive “top”: think about a shaggy green wig or the same hat with a fluffy pom-pom made of yarn (by the way, pom-poms are easy to make - if you don’t know how, learn and do it with your daughter, girls are usually delighted with it process!);

Another “reverse” carrot, funny and extravagant. Again you will need green clothes - and your mother or grandmother's ability to knit. The vegetable itself will be a knitted cone-shaped hat - you can make it quite tall and stuff it with cotton wool or padding polyester, but you will have to make a fairly dense base that fits directly on the head and holds the knitted “tower” (thick cardboard, lined with soft fabric on the inside, will do, so that the carrot hat fits denser and did not cause discomfort);

From paper - you should select strong but wrinkle-resistant paper, cut out two trapezoidal blanks from it from the shoulders to the waist. The finished suit will be worn with the wide side down. Let the glue dry, paint the workpiece orange with black stripes, wait for the paint to dry, cut holes for the arms and glue the edges securely. It is worth making sure that the child is able to get inside freely. Glue a cone-shaped cap from the same paper, paint it the same way as the main part, thread a ribbon or elastic band that will hold it on the head. The role of leaves will be perfectly played by a green skirt - even one made in half an hour from strips of material tied to an elastic band (as is the case with making a tulle skirt);

A symbolic option is a long white tunic, green leggings and shoes, with a large carrot applique sewn on the front;

The original version - if you know how to sew a tunic, leave the front shortened, and at the back make a long tapering train - a “tail”, reproducing the shape of a vegetable (however, this option is not suitable for children’s active pastime - they will definitely step on it! But you can show off and then just pin it his).

Important! Be sure to check whether your daughter feels comfortable in the suit and can move freely. A carnival outfit that restricts movement, especially for children, is a misunderstanding! Your girl will probably move actively at the holiday, participate in games, events, dances - the main thing is that she is comfortable!

What to choose as accessories and decoration for a carrot costume

You don’t have to decorate the costume itself with tops, but give this role to a headdress or accessory. You can make “leaves” in several ways:

From a rectangular piece of fabric (length twice the circumference of the head). Fold the fabric in half and machine stitch it. Create a drawstring and insert elastic into the bottom edge. Finish the top, open one with an overlock stitch and simply tie it with a green elastic band or string;

If your daughter and there is a hair hoop, it’s very easy to attach carrots to it b, sewn from cloth or made from paper. You can use the hoop as a base - attach to it"leaves" of fabric , inserting wires into them so that they stick out(or wrap the wire with yarn);

Will play the role perfectly leaves lush bow on the head, scarf, cape, a scarf tied in a spectacular knot, a shawl with fringe or tassels,lace frill at the neck.

Important!Be sure to think through the overall concept of the entire costume. It is advisable that the accessories stylistically harmonize with it: after all, this is an outfit for a girl, and it should still turn out to be a carrot, and not a stuffed vegetable garden! If he is realistic then its attributes must be appropriate to a plump carrot otherwise an elegant lace bow on foam rubber is unlikely to be suitable; it will be combined rather with a stylized attire.

In autumn, it’s time to dress up boys and girls in beautiful and original costumes. You can make them yourself. To do this, it is recommended to use these recommendations and study several photos with examples.

What could be simpler than a carrot costume? You can buy a ready-made one or rent it. But there is nothing to compare the emotions from a common cause - jointly making a costume for the Christmas tree.

Why carrots?

A fancy dress helps a child develop imagination, fantasy, and imaginative thinking. And with what can you compare the pleasure from the result obtained - a colorful New Year's costume, which certainly no one will have.

With the help of a carrot costume you can introduce your child to healthy eating, popularize healthy image life, explain the benefits of vegetables, the amount of vitamins in them. Even if the baby has never eaten carrots before, after collaboration While working on creating a New Year's costume, he can't help but fall in love with a vegetable.

In addition, this is a universal outfit: a carrot costume is suitable for a girl and a boy. After all, its bottom, the rhizome, can be made as a skirt and panties or a cape.

Complete benefit!

Where to get ideas?

The source of inspiration will be the carrot itself. You can take a vegetable and examine it with your baby. By bringing the child into contact, the mother will be able to consolidate his knowledge about the taste and benefits of carrots.

You can also prepare delicious dishes, bake a carrot cake so that the child will surely understand that carrots are a real hero worthy of attending a New Year's party.

Idea preparatory stage- interactive conversation about carrots and their benefits. Let the child describe the vegetable, what color it is, its shape, what its components are, and how it differs from other vegetables. AND main question is how he imagines the carrot costume.

I made him out of what was...

As a result, the child himself will say that for a carrot costume you need two main colors: an orange bottom to make the rhizome, and green tops.

Surely in the girl’s wardrobe there will be things of this color: an orange dress, a sundress or a skirt and a green blouse, a hat, a scarf, a headscarf, a bow. All this, including imagination, can be used in preparing a costume.

Bottom of the suit

Sewing a carrot costume with your own hands is not difficult. You can find examples of work and even patterns for them, as well as instructions and tips on cutting a model and sewing a suit.

To prepare the bottom of the suit, that is, the rhizome itself, you can use any shape. You can leave your existing outfit unchanged or decorate it with red, yellow or orange garland.

Foam rubber can serve as the basis for a voluminous suit. A cone-shaped carrot bottom is made from a piece of the desired size in length and width.

You can put sewn fabric on top or full skirt, sundress or full-length cape. You can insert an elastic band at the bottom and tighten it a little. Or cut the fabric from the bottom on both sides with a wedge, similar to the root of a vegetable.

Miracle material foam rubber

Foam rubber is an excellent material for making the base of a suit. An important stage of the work is the correct cutting of the material. It is important that the cut site is perfectly level at the desired angle.

Universal glue “Moment-1” is suitable for gluing. Having spread it on both sides, let it dry for 5-7 minutes, and then lightly press and twist so that the glue is evenly distributed and sets. Everything needs to be done quickly and carefully.

Work on gluing foam rubber should be done by an adult so as not to harm the baby’s health.

All that remains is to cover the suit with fabric.

To make the carrot costume complete, you can use a ready-made item from the girl’s wardrobe as greenery, or sew a frill, scarf, or bow from any fabric of the desired shade.

The tops can be placed on the head as a green hat, bow or hoop with visually similar leaves, which can be made from any material: fabric, cardboard, green garland.

A simplified version of the carrot costume

Clothes that are in stock are used. Traditionally, the bottom is orange and the top is green. And on the head, using a hoop or cardboard headband, or crown, place a drawing or applique - an image of a carrot. You can also attach a carrot sewn from fabric to a green hat. Or attach colorful pictures of vegetables to your chest and back.

Option in the basket

You can make a carrot costume in a basket using three main parts.

A brown skirt with a foam base and a shoulder strap will resemble a basket. The carrot itself can be an orange blouse. The green top is a hat, scarf or bow.

Upside down

Or you can completely simplify the carrot costume with your own hands. The headdress will act as a rhizome. It can be a cone-shaped hat or cap made of foam rubber, colored cardboard, or painted.

And the tops will be a green dress or a set of blouse and panties, which will be decorated with green garlands or bows.

It has become fashionable to arrange photo sessions. Young mothers especially love to do this. You can imagine your long-awaited child in any image.

It's easy to make a carrot costume for a girl with your own hands. It can be knitted with orange yarn or sewn into a regular carrot envelope from any fabric.

Use a hat with pom-poms as tops.

What will we tell Santa Claus?

On New Year's holiday The baby will be able to adequately present his carrot costume. The photo will reflect the child’s vivid emotions. The main thing is not to forget to capture it.

To present the costume, you can come up with a funny fairy tale, a scene with other characters, for example, beets, cucumbers, green peas, or read a poem:

I was born a carrot

I got angry with the kids

They don't want to eat me

Everyone is looking at the candy.

And I have all the vitamins

You just can't see them from above.

If you love me -

You will be healthy and strong!

I grew up beautiful

And on New Year's Eve

Came to see the kids today

On the New Year's tree.

I want to tell you a secret

Everyone can live with me for at least a hundred years.

I will treat you with vitamins,

To grow you smart and strong.

The main rule for making a carrot costume is to maintain a combination of two colors: orange rhizome and green tops. And what materials, sizes and proportions to use depends on your imagination.

And then at the New Year's party, Autumn festival or photo shoot, your beloved baby will be the most beautiful.
