Every Halloween, almost every year, kindergartens or schools will hold celebrations. Are you still worried about children's clothes? I think someone must buy ready-made clothes directly or rent clothes from a costume rental store. However, no matter which scheme, the cost is definitely high, at least nearly 1,000 yuan or more. Careful parents, let Sandy's father teach you the way to save money and let children participate, that is "DIY with children".
In fact, making clothes by yourself can not only give play to your own ideas and creativity, but also enhance the emotional communication between parents and children in the process of children's participation. Looking at children's unconstrained thoughts, we should encourage them from the side and increase our self-confidence. DIY Halloween party dresses don't need to spend a lot of money at all, but a few hundred dollars can be done. The key is that the clothes made are absolutely unique and exclusive, and you can't find them anywhere else.
Is it super cute to wear clothes designed by yourself? )
Let them finish their own clothes by hand, which can increase children's love for work, and they will love to wear them more. For older children, we can let them cut out their favorite patterns by hand and stick them on clothes and hats one by one. Children aged 3-4 like graffiti best. If they draw on the designed blindfold with crayons, they will be very happy. Younger children, we might as well hold their hands and put the cut patterns on clothes or hats!
Wow, these works made with children are super beautiful! )
Do you feel itchy after reading these clothes and hats? I also want to help children design a "limited edition" costume. Really, it's not difficult at all. Hurry up and follow the following manufacturing steps ~
Halloween costume preparation materials:
1. Non-woven fabrics of various colors. The representative colors of Halloween are orange, purple and black. These three colors must be ready.
* Note: The fabric used as the background color of clothes should be cut a little more.
2. Various shapes of paper or paper boxes are used as stroke drawing tools. (Waste utilization costs nothing! )
3. Scissors, art knife, poly glue, double-sided adhesive. Use existing materials at home to reduce expenses.
4. Draw pumpkins, ghosts, candy, stars and other decorations on the cloth with crayons or tracing pens, or let children play freely and cut them into patterns on clothes or hats.
The cloth in the cloth shop is priced by the foot, which is only a few tens of dollars per foot, which is quite cheap.
Small patterns drawn on paper in advance can be stroked a lot after being cut. In order not to waste cloth, the spacing between each pattern should be as small as possible. Of course, you can also design your own patterns of different sizes, and the sizes don't have to be the same! Skull, bat, pumpkin, spider, witch, star, etc. It's all good ideas to decorate clothes.
How to beat the clothes?
In fact, friends who have no experience in making clothes don't have to worry. Just simply measure the child's body length and neck circumference and start making clothes. The version is similar to a robe, about the length of a child's knee. Cut the front and back sides and sew them together to make clothes. If you have experience in making clothes, you can of course design different styles. Skirts, pants, wind and dresses are all good ideas.
* Note: Don't get up at the neck, arms and feet of the clothes, or you won't be able to wear them.
Our designs are divided into pumpkin clothes and witch clothes. Pumpkin clothes are the same as robes, but the hem can be sewn into elastic expansion, which will look more lovely. Cut out several patterns, and the bright contrast color makes the finished product more eye-catching. Since it is DIY clothes for parents and children, of course, this part of the work will be left to you. With a little thought, everyone can make such a beautiful pattern!
How to make witch hats and pumpkin hats;
1. Draw a big circle on the non-woven fabric with a tracing pen (sold in the cloth shop) or crayon. Children aged 3-4 years old, the circle diameter is about 50 cm (please consider it yourself for different head circumference).
2. A big circle can be cut in half, and the cut 1/2 circle is rolled into a cone, which is the crown of the witch's hat.
3. Draw a circle with the same diameter of about 50 cm. The larger the diameter, the wider the edge. Draw a small circle in the middle with the newly rolled cone.
(* The size of the cone can be increased or decreased according to the circumference of the child's head, and the size of the small circle will be increased or decreased accordingly)
4. Connecting the top of the hat with the brim is the prototype of the witch hat, which allows children to doodle or paste their favorite patterns on it!
The head circumference of an adult is large, and the size of the circle is also large. Please increase or decrease according to the size of personal head circumference.
The semi-finished hat is as follows. In addition, a large number of cute Halloween patterns and pink stripes were cut out and pasted along the brim to become the brim of the hat.
(Pumpkin hats take time. Cut a circle with a diameter of about 45 ~ 55cm into eight equal parts and sew them together. The diameter of the circle can be increased or decreased according to the head circumference. Are the lines on the car like those on pumpkins? The sewn semi-finished pumpkin hat has no elasticity, so you can add elastic bands to the bottom of the hat yourself, and don't forget to cut some leaves as the decoration of the pumpkin hat. )
