Learning to create a Snegurka costume with your own hands for a girl with a description and a photo.
The Snow Maiden's outfit is quite traditional:a fur coat of white, silver or blue shade, small boots, a hat or a kokoshnik. For older Snow Maidens, New Year's outfits are usually purchased in a store, but for smaller Snow Maidens, their mothers create costumes. When sewing a costume, you need to take into account that its bottom should not be too fluffy, and the top should not be too open.When choosing a headdress, you need to be guided byon the mother's imagination and the materials at her disposal. Boots should be selected in accordance with the shade of the costume, i.e. white, blue or silver. If you don't have any, you can make elegant shoe covers to fit your Snow Maiden's feet. As material for the costume, you can take a ready-made dress with a dense base, elegant texture or glitter. All you need to do is make a fur trim (or tinsel), add elegance to the collar and decorate the hem with rhinestones, snowflakes or beads, depending on your imagination. White tights and a blouse of the same color are ideal for this outfit.To sew a Snow Maiden costume you will need:white fur (or light-colored); elastic bandage; artificial crystals, beads, rhinestones, etc.; a shirt with satin straps; tinsel, garlands, or other suitable New Year's decorations; an unnecessary piece of wallpaper, a sheet of cardboard; foil or gift wrapping materials; plug paint; glue; scissors; stapler; needle; thread; adhesive snowflakes or patterns. Sewing a Snow Maiden sarafan. 1. To make a pattern, take a sheet of wallpaper, trace your daughter's T-shirt on it and finish drawing so that it turns into a dress.2.Trace the resulting pattern onto an old shirt. When tracing the back of the sarafan, make the neckline shallower than the front. 3. Make an allowance for seams (at least 1 cm) and after cutting out the patterns from the material, sew the two sides together. Don't forget to leave openings for the sleeves.4.Along the edges of the neckline, hem and sleeve openings, make a piping from the straps and trims. 5. Sew the lower part of the hem using tinsel or fur. 6. Sew large snowflakes or fur in 2 identical vertical strips to the front of the costume (from the neckline to the lower part of the hem). 7. Sew large snowflakes made of tinsel between these strips. Sewing a cape. 1. Again, start with a pattern. Take a sheet of wallpaper, draw a large circle in the central part of which another smaller circle will be the neckline. The resulting circle is the cape pattern, which should be cut out. 2. Trace the pattern onto the material, taking into account seam allowances, and cut out again. 3. Process the edges of the cape with the existing piping and sew with tinsel or fur. 4. Sew tinsel snowflakes onto the front. 5. Sew two straps onto the neck area to serve as ties for the cape. 6. If you have the budget, you can buy fabric paint and use it to draw a winter pattern or something similar.Making the Snow Maiden's crown. 1.Apply the drawing of the crown to paper and cut it out. Regarding its shape, be guided by your imagination and the wishes of your daughter. 2. Try on the crown blank on your child's head and choose the optimal neckline. Trace the final version on cardboard (which will be the basis for the crown) and cut it out. 3. The fabric material for the crown will work from the same shirt, but it will need to be pre-painted in the appropriate shade. Choose a hypoallergenic paint. 4. When the material dries, iron its gauze fabric. 5. Trace the crown pattern on the material, remembering to leave overlaps for the seams, and cut it out. 6. Cover the front of the crown with fabric, fold over the excess fabric and secure them with a stapler on the back. 7. Cut off the lace and paint it in the color of the crown.8.Dry the lace, iron it and sew it to the crown so that part of it hangs slightly over the forehead. In other words, the lace will cover the crown and a little of the forehead. 9. Sew large beads along the edges of the crown, and attach a large snowflake in the center using glue, which is made of foil or shiny packaging material. 10. Sew or glue tinsel or white fur along the entire length of the neckline, let the rain fall on both sides - 5 cm each. 11. Glue a piece of material that we cut out according to the pattern to the back of the crown. 12. Place stickers with snowflakes or winter patterns along the entire length at the back of the crown. 13. Use an elastic bandage to make an element for fixing the crown. It should be sewn in such a way that the crown does not press and at the same time holds well. Naturally, the bandage will need to be painted in the color of the crown. 14. Mask each seam with beads and sequins. That's it, your daughter's Snow Maiden costume is ready!
