If you ask the boys what they dream of being, when they grow up, probably every second person will answer: "Cosmonaut!" Of course, growing up, many will understand that such a difficult and risky profession is not for everyone. It is necessary to have a lot of unique qualities and prepare for a long time to fly into space. But any boy can feel at least for a while as a brave conqueror of space expanses. For this, his mother needs to try and sew a cosmonaut's children's costume with their own hands. Variants of cosmonaut's costume for a boy can be different. As a basis, a suit or even a tracksuit is more suitable, preferably orange, red, silver or white. But other attributes of cosmonaut's costume for children are not difficult to make by yourself. We suggest how to do this.
How to make cosmonaut costume?
If you have decided on the apparel of your cosmonaut, then we start to make specific accessories: a helmet and cylinders. Also, if your child does not have rubber boots on wide tractors-tractors, then it will be necessary to decorate children's boots to make them look like astronauts' shoes.
- We begin with the manufacture of a helmet. We do it in the papier-mache technique. To do this, we need a round-shaped balloon, old newspapers, magazines or sheets of rather thin paper with a loose structure. Also, flour, water and white latex paint are needed. Break newsprint into many small strips of the future cosmonaut.
- The most careful way to stir in a cup of flour with water until a homogeneous mass with a consistency of thick cream.
- We inflate the balloon and gradually spread evenly layers of paper striped with water and flour solution onto it.
- Note that the bottom of the ball remains un-glued. This is necessary in order to then left a hole for the neck, slightly larger in diameter than the head of your baby.
- Crop the balloon, carefully remove the inside of its remains. On top of the workpiece for the helmet is covered with white latex paint.
- We draw with a pencil and cut out with a sharp scissors a slit for the face.
- In order not to notice the irregularities formed around the edges, we glue them with a white tape-plaster tape.
- For the manufacture of fuel cylinders, without which cosmic dressing is unthinkable, we use two cylinders, supplemented with cones made of polyesterol.
- To the nozzles we glue the "tongues of flame" from the red corrugated paper or napkins.
- We attach to the base of a cylindrical shape (if there is no suitable object, then you can use an ordinary plastic bottle) and a figured cardboard plate.
- Alternatively: it is possible to make fuel cylinders from only a pair of 1.5-liter plastic bottles wrapped in foil and fastened with adhesive tape.
- We proceed to the design of space boots. To decorate them, we will need gauze, cut into strips, or a bandage of medium width, as well as office transparent scotch. Carefully wrapping bandages layer by layer on the child's rubber boots, we will form a massive shoe that is very similar to the one that goes into the cosmonaut's outfit.
- For greater effect, it is possible to decorate with a foil the side of a cart with large wheels, similar to the one used by few people who visited the moon to move over the surface of the satellite of the earth. On it you can carry your little cosmonaut or two, as in our case.
Carnival costume astronaut will help your boy not only feel a willingness to go to the cosmic distance, but also cause a slight envy of comrades and the favor of young girlfriends. Be sure: your work will make a proper impression on all present at the merry children's holiday!
