The alien's costume with his own hands: idea 1
This is probably the easiest way to make a New Year's costume of an alien. You will need:
- overalls for painting premises, can be found in the building store;
- mesh for windows;
- foam rubber;
- springs from handles;
- plastic balls.
- The overalls need to be sewn under the child: it is necessary to shorten the sleeves and trouser legs and put them on the elastic band.
- Then we are engaged in a headdress of the future alien. We cut out a circle with a diameter of 20-25 cm from the parolon, collect it with a thread along the edge into a ball and tighten it with a mesh for the windows. The edges of the window grid are collected in the center, where we then sew a plastic ball.
- Do the same way the second eye. Sew them to the hood on the sides. Cut the mesh for the windows sewn to the hood, to subsequently close the face.
- From the mesh for the windows we cut out two ovals. On the back of the overalls, we make vertical incisions smaller than the ovals from the net. We sew a grid for windows there - unusual wings of the alien are obtained.
- The net can also be sewn on the inside of the pants so that the child does not sweat on the matinee.
- To give the image of the carnival costume of an alien more distinctive, we cut out of the foam rubber two additional hands, we cover them with the remains of the overalls fabric and the window grid. We put our hands on the sides of the overalls.
Done!
