DIY turnip costume for a girl and a boy do it yourself

Every mother wants her child to look bright and beautiful at a holiday in kindergarten. An original and comfortable carnival costume is not necessary to buy in a store. If you connect a fantasy and work hard, then you can sew an outfit yourself. How to make a turnip costume from improvised materials will be discussed in the article.

Turnip suit options

If mom is a happy owner of a sewing machine, then you can sew the basic elements of the outfit yourself. For the boy you can make green pants, a yellow shirt. For a girl - sew a yellow dress and a green bow.

If there is no machine, then you can make a costume from improvised materials. The basis is taken on casual clothing in suitable colors and complemented by bright elements. Turnip in this case will turn out no worse.

Reference! Volumetric costumes of vegetables for a child are very popular now. They are performed by their dense fabrics, cotton wool, synthetic winterizer. Of course, such a suit looks beautiful. But the holidays suggest a lot of activity for children. It is very difficult to be an active participant in such an outfit: it is hot in him, movements are limited. A holiday for the child will be accompanied by a desire to remove an uncomfortable thing. Is the voluminous beauty of the costume worth the spoiled mood of the baby? The outfit can be made simpler, but at the same time beautiful.

DIY turnip costume for girls

For a girl, such an outfit can be made by adding colorful elements to a dress or skirt.

Costume Components

  • The dress is yellow.
  • Yellow socks or tights.
  • Headband depicting a hero.
  • Green satin ribbons.

To make it, you will need

  • An elastic band 4-6 centimeters wide. If not, you can use an elastic bandage.
  • Flap of green fabric, comfortable to use.
  • Image of a fairytale hero.
  • PVA glue and stapler.
  • Satin green ribbon (2-3 meters).

Step-by-step production of turnip costume for girls

Mask. For its implementation, you need a piece of gum equal to the size of the circumference of the child’s head. Gum is better to make green. For this, a “cover” is sewn from green fabric. It is necessary to prepare a rectangular strip 2 times wider than the elastic. Sew the long edges of the strip, turn it on the front side. Put the gum inside the workpiece. Next, we sew narrow edges with each other. Do not forget to grab a gum with a needle. Try on a bandage on a girl. If the dressing has approached, we fix the image of the turnip on its middle with the help of a stapler. It should be no more than 10 centimeters in height. Turnip can be painted or printed on a color printer. To keep the image in shape, it must be glued onto thick cardboard and laminated.

Important! The dressing should not be tight. Otherwise, instead of joy, the child will get a headache from the holiday.

Cooking a dress. The basis is better to take the usual yellow summer dress. It is good if it is monophonic. To add volume, the hem of the dress is pre-starch. Sew a green ribbon around the hem and sleeves. So the dress will look more elegant.

If the girl has long hair, then we will weave this same satin ribbon into pigtails . We braid short hair in tails and decorate them with satin ribbon bows. Large bows do not need to be: with the mask they will be quite heavy. The child’s head gets tired of holding such “wealth” during the holiday.

Yellow tights or socks are good for turnip. Socks along the edge can also be decorated with a green ribbon.

So, having a little imagination, you can prepare a costume for a child in one evening. This outfit does not require the skills of a professional seamstress from mom, but it turns out beautiful and bright.

Turn-based costume turnip for a boy

Mask tops on the head. From the holographic foil we cut the "tops" of a height of not more than 12-15 centimeters. The length of the mask should correspond to the size of the child’s head. From white paper cut a strip of 5-6 centimeters wide. We attach the tops to the paper with the help of a stapler. So the mask will stay better on the head. Next, we fasten the edges of the mask and try it on the child.

Vest From foam rubber we cut 2 parts in the form of turnips. It is better to complete the details with the tops. The parts that belong to the root crop are covered with a yellow cloth. The tops are green. You can fasten the fabric with a stapler. When both parts are ready, we sew on top and sides satin ribbon ties. They will fix the vest. Turnip does not need to be huge. The boys are very mobile, and the children are sitting on the chairs close to each other. Therefore, the vest should not interfere with others. And its young owner should be comfortable at the holiday.

  • Mask on the head. Such a mask is made of paper or elastic. Its main detail is a beautiful image of a turnip.
  • Volumetric hat of the turnip. Such a hat can be made of foam rubber and yellow fabric.

  • Yellow tights or socks. They will complement the image.
  • You can draw a turnip on the cheek using face painting. As a rule, children love such drawings on their own bodies and gladly agree to such additions to the costume.
