Every year it becomes easier for people to follow fashion trends, because more and more clothes are appearing from ordinary everyday elements that can be found in every kitchen. For example, dresses made from scrap material will highlight your originality and skill, and, of course, will become an item in your wardrobe. You need to understand that you cannot wear most of these options. everyday life, but some dresses will definitely make your look more interesting.
Let's look at some ideas for creating this type of clothing. Perhaps you still don’t know what materials to use? Or what style of dress to choose? With this selection it will become much easier for you. It offers all the most popular and original options dresses.
The first step is to figure out which option to use. In order to create original clothes, you will need everything except heavy and large materials. These may be those things that already have one foot in the trash. They can be given a new and interesting look.
Well, now let's move on to the ideas themselves. So, the most popular DIY dress made from scrap materials is a dress made from men's shirts. There are thousands of ways on the Internet to bring this idea to life, but we offer the most popular option - no sewing. The following photo shows in detail the entire manufacturing process.
Instead of a men's shirt, you can use a T-shirt several sizes larger. This is the second most popular option for making a dress. In the photo you can see that everything is much easier than it seems at first glance.
Dresses made from plastic bags are considered one of the easiest options to implement.
Also, beer cans are considered one of the waste materials from which a dress can be made.
Dresses made from rubber gloves are considered original.
And here is another worthy option for the competition - a dress made of rubber balls.
Original in a simple way
Process detailed production DIY dresses made from scrap materials for girls can be seen in the master class.
In order to make this work, you will need to prepare materials such as paper, a simple dress of the main color, thread and needle.
The sketch of the dress was originally like this, but in the process of work we remade it for the better.
The bottom of the dress is decorated with these petals. We will now show you how to make them.
Take a piece of A4 paper.
Fold it in half. But no need to bend! After folding the paper, bend it slightly so that a small mark (dent) remains. Thus, we marked the middle of the leaf.
Then we bend the sides towards the center line. But again we do not bend them entirely, but only a small place in order to mark the lines.
Fold the sheet in half and cut off the corners. Making smooth lines.
The photo shows the work as it looks at this stage in expanded form.
At this stage we need to connect the folds. To do this, use a stapler to fasten the outer lines and the middle together.
That's it, one petal for the dress is ready. As you can see, thanks to the method used above, the sheet turned out to be voluminous, there are no dents, which is the most important thing.
Now we make the required number of blanks.
For example, for a girl with a height of 154 cm, about seventy petals were needed. If your child is larger or smaller, you will have to make a different number of parts.
Then we need to make a dress blank. You can sew it, or you can take it usually white dress, as we did in this master class. Now you need to attach the petals. We do this using a stapler with large paper clips, moving from bottom to top.
First we attach the bottom row. Then we retreat ten cm and attach the second row in a checkerboard pattern. Again we retreat ten cm and make the third row. We work up to the very top of the skirt.
The skirt for the dress is already ready.
For the top you will need very tightly compressed paper. From it you can make roses or other fantastic flowers. Hot glue the paper to the top of the dress. For a belt, take a wide one satin ribbon and wrap it around your baby's waist.

Clothes for a matinee made from garbage bags
Holiday in kindergarten It will be unforgettable and fun, and a costume for each child will cost very little if you make an outfit from garbage bags.
Children will be happy to temporarily turn into inhabitants of exotic islands. Nowadays you can buy garbage bags of various colors, so your costumes for the matinee will be colorful and varied. Each parent will make an outfit for their child, having familiarized themselves with the master class on making such clothes, and thereby help the children organize a real holiday.
To make a costume with your own hands on this topic, you will need:
- garbage bags with a capacity of 30–35 liters. on a roll;
- rubber;
- scissors;
- scotch.
Roll out the roll, find the first package in it, without tearing it off, fold it in half.
To make the work go faster, fold 2-3 bags at a time. Then you can cut so many pieces at once.
Now you need to tear these folded bags from the common roll and cut off their side strips on the right and left.
Next, the resulting canvas is folded in half lengthwise and cut along this fold.
Now fold the next 2-3 bags from the roll in half. Trim the sides, then fold and cut along the fold into ribbons. Stack them.
Cut off the edge of the ribbons made from bags on the side where the cellophane was folded in half.
Now glue the resulting blanks to the tape with an overlap - on one side and the other.
After all the strips are attached in this way, you need to put an elastic band in the center and glue it with tape.
It remains to throw the strips in one direction.
The skirt is ready.
To give it strength, stitch at the top, below the elastic, without touching it. Bags are an excellent material for a costume for a kindergarten matinee, both for the bottom and the top. We sew a bodice for girls.
Use strips cut in the manner described a little earlier, but you need to cut the fold from them not on one, but on both sides. Then they will be 2 times shorter than for a skirt. After which they also need to be glued to tape and an elastic band attached.
You now have a skirt and bodice.
All that remains is to make decorations on the legs and arms using the same technique, and the costume for the matinee is ready.
From garbage bags you can sew a princess dress, an outfit for Scheherazade, an eastern Shah, or a fairy. This material sews well, so it’s enough to cut out the details of the costume and then sew them on a machine. To give greater strength to the stitching, you can put braid under it.
Outfit ideas made from waste material
CDs can easily be used to make a costume for kindergarten or a school party. If they are in good condition, then use whole discs. They can be sewn to the hem of a dress or decorated with a swimsuit along its entire height, and for a skirt, a cord can be pulled through the holes. By pulling it together, secure the decorative elements of the outfit.
If the disc fragments are scratched, cut out triangles like these from the good parts and glue them to the dress.
If the child no longer reads his children's books, you can sew an original dress from them. If you put each sheet of paper in a file and then stitch it, the new thing will be more durable and moisture-resistant. Instead of books, you can use pages of glossy magazines.
Here's a dress made from waste material that creative designers came up with. This idea can also be taken into account.
Even ordinary toilet paper can be turned into interesting clothing. If you decide to organize a home party for the kids, and you need children's carnival costumes, you can make one like this in 10 minutes.
All you need for it is:
- 1–2 rolls of toilet paper;
- black cosmetic paint;
- brush.
For greater strength, you can wrap a little white bandage on top of the paper and securely fasten its ends.
Other children's carnival costumes are also quickly made. If a boy plays the role of a mummy, then the girl may well turn into a snail for this time. Her outfit is also created using paper, but more durable.
This is what a fancy dress for a girl is made from:
- thick paper;
- ribbons;
- hairband;
- cardboard;
- glue gun;
- construction tape;
- two small polystyrene foam balls or Kinder Surprise packages.
Based on the size of the child's back, cut out a rectangle from cardboard. Sew or glue 2 ribbons to it, and measure these straps first too. Glue the cardboard onto the rolled paper, and the snail's house is ready.
To make her horns, cut out 2 rectangles from paper smaller than for the house. Twist them the same way. Glue a ball or a Kinder Surprise package onto the tops.
The work is completed. Such children's carnival costumes do not require any special financial expenses, and bring children pleasure and a great mood.
New Year's costumes for children
It will be interesting for the child to temporarily turn into a Christmas tree. Such children's carnival costumes will certainly create a sensation when, at the height of the holiday, the lights are dimmed and the outfit shines with many light bulbs.
To make this New Year's robe, you need this:
- thick green fabric;
- LED bulbs 10 mm;
- AA batteries;
- wires for light bulbs;
- chalk;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- pearls, beads for decoration.
Attach the pattern to the fabric, outline, cut, leaving a seam allowance of 2 cm and a 7 mm allowance at the neck. Sew 2 parts on the wrong side - the front and the back.
The neckline should be sufficient to allow the child to easily put on the suit over his head to the matinee. Otherwise, you will need to make a vertical cut from the back collar down and sew in a zipper or make a clasp on the shoulder.
Without turning the dress inside out, draw diagonal lines on the inside using a large ruler. Try to make them at the same distance, just like the marks for the light bulbs. Turn the dress onto the face, stick the latter into the fabric, bending the tendrils of the lamps, secure them to the canvas.
Now connect the light bulbs with wire, securing it to the antennae. The scheme of this is such that short antennae are a negative charge (–), and long ones are a positive charge (+).
Do not stretch sections of the wire so that the structure does not break and the fabric is not too taut. Pass the wire from the front to the back, securing it at the side seams.
Finish the neck of the dress, decorate it with beads, and a spectacular outfit for a matinee is ready. To prevent the garment from prickling, have the child wear a thick turtleneck underneath. If you were unable to purchase LED lights, then buy a battery-powered garland and attach it to the front of the dress.
Miraculous ladybug outfit
Children's carnival costumes may be different. This mischievous ladybug has a place at any holiday.
The top of the outfit is made based on a red turtleneck. Here's what you need to make such a carnival costume:
- red turtleneck or T-shirt;
- hair band;
- black pipe cleaners;
- glitter;
- glue gun;
- fluffy red ribbon or pompoms of this color;
- black fabric;
- glass or glass for template;
- red tulle;
- chalk or thin dry piece of soap;
- black elastic band;
- measuring tape;
- scissors;
- tracing paper
Cut 2 pieces from the fluffy ribbon and roll them in a circle. Glue these elements or 2 pompoms to the tops of the pipe cleaners.
Place the black fabric on the wrong side and use a piece of soap or chalk to trace the glass or glass to make circles. Cut them out and glue them to the turtleneck.
To sew a skirt, first make marks for future folds on tracing paper. Step back 2.5 cm from the top and draw a line. Then measure another 2.5 cm from it, draw another segment parallel to the first. Make marks between them every 2.5 cm.
Cut 2 strips from red tulle - each about 60 cm (depending on the size of the skirt). First place the first red transparent fabric on the tracing paper, make slits on it according to the markings (every 2.5 cm), then make exactly the same cuts on the second tulle sheet.
From black fabric, cut 2 pieces of 55 cm each, treat them in the same way as with red tulle. Assembling a full skirt. Place pieces of black fabric on the tulle folded together and thread an elastic band through all the aligned slits. Try on a skirt for a girl, trim off the excess ends of the elastic, and sew them together. Now so wonderful ladybug can fly, or rather, go to a fun holiday.
Beautiful long peacock tail for children
It is enough to make just this, and an elegant costume for a matinee is ready. Here's what we'll use for it:
- taffeta scraps;
- linen elastic;
- green ribbon;
- blue, green, blue felt.
Here's how to make decorations for a skirt so that it looks like a peacock's tail. Cut the blanks in the shape of a crescent with a sharp middle from blue fabric. To do this, it is most convenient to use a template, then all the elements will be the same size and the desired shape.
From blue felt we make blanks that are acute on one side and rounded on the other sides. We cut out exactly the same ones, but a little larger, from green fabric. We make large oval elements from brown felt, then stitch each one with light threads so that they imitate feathers.
Now you need to take one finished element of each color, apply it as shown in the photo, and glue it.
Take pieces of ribbon of the required length, glue felt blanks here, and then attach these feathers to strips of taffeta.
That's what beautiful tail the peacock came out, he will become a detail or everything carnival costume for the matinee. See what other outfits you can quickly make from simple materials with your own hands.

Almost every school and kindergarten holds costume competitions made from scrap materials. And sometimes such events are included in the program of adult corporate events. And then all of us women are struck by the thought of creating something so interesting. We will talk about how to make an original creative outfit for a competition in this article. After reading the information presented here, you will learn how you can make Photos of similar works can also be seen. Let's watch, read and be inspired.
The CD outfit is a brilliant idea! Method No. 1
We will create this version of the product from lasers. In addition to them, you will need scissors, an awl and a long T-shirt-tunic for the work.
We begin the process of making a dress from improvised material - a disk. First of all, you need to do preparatory work- solder holes in round parts. To do this, heat the tip of the awl over a candle or gas stove and solder it through one hole in each disk along the edge. Next, lay out the T-shirt (tunic) on the table and, starting from the bottom edge, sew shiny elements. We attach them symmetrically to each other along the entire circumference of the product. When the first tier is attached, we begin to design the second. If you want to create a scale effect, now slightly overlap the discs with those located below. This is how we design the entire T-shirt.
Carnival costume made from lasers. Method No. 2
Dresses made from scrap material (disk) can be made in another way. In this case, the round elements will not overlap each other. We burn holes in lasers as described in the previous part of the article. Just make not one, but four holes, located at the same distance from each other. Next we sew the disks together. To do this, insert a thread into the needle and tie a large knot so that it does not slip through the hole. We insert a needle into the hole on one part and pull the thread. Next, we insert the needle into the hole of another laser circle and bring it out on the wrong side. We repeat these same steps several more times. Then we fasten the thread and cut it off. Thus, we connect the required number of disks in a row. We are creating several of these tapes. From them we form a solid rectangular fabric, sewing discs horizontally using the same principle. When the workpiece is the size you need, we connect it along the edges, forming a “tunnel”. We sew the product onto a long T-shirt using the holes in the disks of the top row. It turns out to be a kind of sundress. If desired, you can decorate the straps. The outfit is ready.
from scrap materials. How to make such an outfit?
We will make a costume for the autumn ball from fallen leaves. We collect a lot of them, giving preference to intact and beautiful specimens. In addition to these, we prepare a needle, thread and a light, simple sundress (without frills or decorative ornaments). This costume is simple to make. We sew the leaves, starting from the bottom of the dress, behind the tail. We place them close to each other. We first decorate the first tier, then the second, overlapping the foliage. In this way we sheathe the entire product. The work is quite labor-intensive, but the result is worth it.
When performing this model, you should take into account that the foliage quickly withers. Therefore, dresses from improvised material of this type should be made on the eve of the celebration, and the finished product should be kept in a cool room, sprinkling it with water from time to time.
Paper dress - fast, simple and beautiful
This version of the outfit, made from scrap material, is the easiest to make. Corrugated paper, scissors and glue - from these materials we create original costume. All work is carried out directly on the model itself. We wrap the roll of paper in the chest area twice and cut off the excess. Glue the edge. We give the bodice the desired shape, slightly crumpling the paper in the right places. We fold the other roll like an accordion. We glue one edge of this blank to the one already on the model, forming a skirt. You can make it not just one, but several. It turns out to be a kind of pack. All that remains is to glue the straps from strips of paper. Use paper bows or flowers as decoration.
Now you know how to make one from scrap material. We hope that you will use these master classes to create your own designer carnival outfits.
Often in educational institutions are carried out thematic classes or costume performances. Their goal is to tell children that environmental fashion exists. The children learn to create their own costumes from waste material and at the same time respect and appreciate manual labor. There are many ideas from which you can choose an original and beautiful outfit. You just need to know the execution technology.
Making an outfit for a fairy-tale character, superhero or transforming robot from available materials is actually simple. It is enough to use your imagination and not be limited to one type of material. Original things come from:
- paper (old newspapers, candy wrappers, cardboard boxes);
- plastic (bottles, disposable tableware);
- polyethylene (garbage bags, oilcloth, packaging bags);
- natural materials (dry leaves, cones, dried flowers).
The main advantages of creating an outfit are the availability of materials and ease of execution. Most often, the costume is assembled literally from garbage that can be found in every home. Disadvantages include the fragility of the products and the lack of comfort in them. It is worth understanding that these are things not for everyday use, but for performances or games.

Manufacturing process
When starting work, it would be useful to talk with your child about who he wants to be, what materials he would like to use most. And based on his preferences, prepare the necessary funds for making an unusual costume.
From cardboard boxes
Boxes are an ideal material for creating a costume for a boy. For example, it’s very easy to make an image from the future – a “steel” robot.
To create you need:
- two boxes (rectangular for the body, square for the head);
- foil;
- scotch;
- scissors;
- colored paper;
- wire;
- hot glue;
- gouache.
The work process will take a little time, the main thing is to do everything step by step.
- Head. The excess parts are cut off from the box to create a cube with three sides. Make a cutout for the face on one of them. Cover the top of the box with foil. If desired, make the decor in the form of a small antenna (use wire, colored paper and tape for fastening).
- Torso. Trim the excess pieces so that the box does not have a bottom base. Cut a recess on the top for the head, and on the sides for the arms. Cover the box with foil and use colored paper and gouache to work out the decor (buttons, mini-screen, energy stripes).
- Legs, arms. It is enough to put a regular black or gray suit on your child and attach several foil elements with double-sided tape.
In addition to the robot, the following costumes for children can be made from the boxes: knight, dinosaur, house, Lego piece, SpongeBob and others.
From plastic bottles
This material allows you to make incredible DIY dresses for girls. Images of flower fairies, mermaids, and princesses will appeal to little fashionistas.
To make a mermaid dress you need to prepare:
- bottles of blue, white, blue colors(at least 20 pcs.);
- scissors;
- nail polish (pearl pink);
- glue Moment.
Work process.
- Cut oval scales from bottles (4-5 cm for the bodice and 6-7 cm for the skirt and train).
- Cover the elements with nail polish to get a color shimmer effect.
- Glue the scales to the base (you can take an old dress). Cover the bodice with small details, the skirt and train with larger elements. Arrange them randomly, imitating fish scales.
- Make a wreath. Cut 3 flowers from the green and blue bottles. Put the blue one into the green one and glue it. Wrap a plastic bag around the rim, straighten the free end, and fold it into a flower shape. Glue 3 bottle flowers to it.
When cutting out costume parts, you can easily get hurt on the edges of the bottle. This stage of work should be entrusted to an adult.
Suit from plastic bottles You can also make one for boys (alien, transformer, superhero).
From disposable tableware
This material allows you to create simple but effective children's costumes. To make ball gown for a girl, you need the following materials:
- plastic cups (depending on the child’s height, on average 200 pieces);
- stapler;
- scissors;
- zipper;
- thread, needle.
Work process:
- Bodice. Cut the glasses in half and remove the bottom. Place the two parts one inside the other (the top one is 2 cm higher than the bottom one), and fasten it with a stapler. Lay out the resulting fastened parts in 2 rows from bottom to top to the height of the bodice. Make the sides and back from smooth parts of glasses.
- Skirt. The glasses are collected in tiers and fixed with a stapler. The first tier is the widest. Closer to the waist, the skirt should taper due to the reduction in the number of glasses.
- Assembly. Sew the skirt to the bodice using threads. To hide the paper clips on the skirt, you can insert a whole one into each cup and secure it with glue.
If you use glasses of different colors, you can lay out a mosaic (geometric patterns, flowers, rainbows).
From old newspapers
A little imagination and free time will allow you to make a costume even from waste, for example, from unnecessary newspapers. It's easy to make a ballet tutu out of them.
Tools:
- newspapers;
- scissors;
- glue;
- stapler;
- thread, needle.
Job description:
- Top. Wrap the newspaper around the fabric base, pin it together, and sew it on. Any unnecessary dress with straps can be used as a basis. Fold the newspaper like an accordion, straighten it to form a fan, attach it to the bodice, and secure it with threads as decoration.
- Skirt. Roll the newspaper sheet into a cone shape and fasten it with a stapler at the narrow part. The resulting parts need to be laid out in layers, forming a ballerina’s tutu. Attach the skirt to the base using glue and a stapler. If necessary, the edges of the cones can be made more textured - randomly cut out zigzags or pre-fold the newspaper like an accordion.
