Create a beautiful hedgehog suit with your own hands

Sooner or later all parents have tothink about a carnival costume for a child. Sometimes in the kindergarten some specific images are required if the toddler participates in the production and plays a key role. But more often on New year, masquerade or simply celebratory action suggest to dress up by someone on a choice. There are three exits here. You can take a suit for rent, buy it ready or make yourself. So, we make a hedgehog suit with our own hands.

The image of an animal

First of all, the hedgehog is an animal thattraditional appears in fairy tales as being solid, wise, respectable. So the suit should be chosen in such a way as to fit the look. Frivolous bows and cheerful pink flowers are not needed here. And what you need?

Parts of the costume

So, the hedgehog carnival costume can includethemselves monochromatic shirt (better to choose yellow, white or pale blue), colorful color vest (if with a pattern not, you can take a solid color and decorate with lace, sequins and tinsel, if this suit New Year), plain or striped trousers, in harmony with the horse, and dressed shoes. At the head will need a cape in the form of a hood with needles, which will go down in the back (you can make it from the stories if any other tissue, add a lining of gray, black or white), you can wear a mask.

Cape

The hedgehog suit with its own hands is done so thatThe hood-cape looked like a prickly hedgehog. To do this, it is attached to the "needles" (cut out the mugs from the black package, fold and glue). The hood is fastened to a butterfly, a button or a bow, which in color should be bright and contrasting with respect to the rest of the costume.

The hedgehog mask

In principle, of course, the mask is notan essential element of the outfit, but if you are allowed in the kindergarten, and the child wants to wear it, it is possible to make a cute muzzle of the forest sage. The hedgehog suit, made by hand, will look much more interesting with it. We cut out the mask from the cardboard, we glue it on top with the same cloth from which the hood was sewn, in fact, the cape is the continuation of the muzzle. The nose is made of a piece of foam rubber covered with a black cloth (anything you like, though the same bike, even felt, even a cut from the black tights) is sewn on or glued to the mask. For better likelihood, you can even make a mustache and attach them to the nose. For this, pieces of thick fishing line are threaded through it, fixed with a glue on the inside (so that it can not be pulled out). The eyes of the hedgehog can be decorated by circling it with gouache (diluted with glue) or by gluing a black breech. The finished mask is fixed with the help of elastic bands. Everything, in general, a hedgehog suit with his own hands is made.

Assembly

The only thing left to be considered isit is an ornament of a ready-made suit. It all depends on the nature of the holiday and the desire of the needlewoman. You can attach a light plastic or knitted apple to the cape, and decorate the outfit with sequins, ribbons and bows. Get a great hedgehog suit. Photos from such a holiday will then for many years please the family.
