Cape Cloak

This mandatory attribute of the carnival costume is easy to make.

We will need:

  1. A cloak for a wizard's child's costume should not be tight, so you do not have to work on creating an accurate pattern. It is enough to fold the satin's cut in half, then double again. After that, apply a suitable size raglan fabric and cut out the cloak, taking into account the necessary length of the sleeve and the cloak itself. Sleeves must be made flared, and the floor of the cape - expanding from the waist. It is better to make a collar zone V-shaped, cutting off excess fabric.
  2. Carefully sew a cloak with a needle or a sewing machine, processing the sections of the sleeves and the bottom. Sash all edges with satin ribbon and decorate with satin ribbon. It remains to iron the cloak-cape with an iron and the suit is almost ready! Take note, satin - a delicate fabric, spoil it with a hot iron - it's a matter of seconds!

Cap

A headpiece for a sorcerer's costume can be made with or without fields. To do this, you need tight cardboard, scissors and scotch tape.

  1. Draw a circle on the sheet of cardboard, the radius of which will be equal to the height of the cap. Then measure 10-12 centimeters and draw another circle if you want to make a cap with fields.
  2. Gently cut the details of the lines that were drawn earlier. After fitting, fix the formed cone with scotch tape.
  3. For the hood with the fields it is necessary to make a few small incisions on the cardboard, curling the cardboard up. Using adhesive tape, attach the fields of the cap to them.
  4. It's time to start decorating the hood for the wizard's costume. To do this, tighten the cone with a satin cloth, fixing it with the stapler on the inside of the hood. Be careful that during the carnival metal clips on the steel cause injury!

A bonnet without borders can be additionally decorated with a fringing. Effectively it looks like edging with drapery from small wrinkles, giving volume. Bands, a narrow satin ribbon, metal or plastic accessories in the form of chains, coins, pendants in this case will also be appropriate. By the way, the places of the joints of the fabric can be successfully concealed with the help of a braid, fixed vertically, and the top of the bell is decorated with a large bead or a fringed brush.

Magic wand

It is enough to wrap a wooden or plastic stick with cloth, foil or bright metallized paper, and its end should be decorated with a metal knob.
