Costume of the buffoon to the New Year party

To make a fool's costume for your child with your own hands is another way to show him your love. This character is a rare visitor on matinees, where boys often appear in the image of knights, princes and modern heroes.

Features of the costume costume

Before you start working, you need to create a creative sketch and determine the color scheme. The jester's costume does not need to be confused with the dresses of the harlequin, buffoon, and even more so the clown. Each of them has its own characteristics, including manufacturing.

Depending on the situation, different elements can be arranged among themselves, but the jester will be such only if he has a hat with tails and bells.

New-year attire should be made of bright fabrics, contrasting with each other. When making a costume, you can use any number of colors and decor, because its main purpose is to attract attention.

Clothes - jacket and panties

The "classic" jester costume for a boy consists of a camisole (blouse, shirt) with a wide collar and pants such as a "lamb leg" knee length. Those who have decent sewing skills, often dispense even without patterns - literally "by eye." Less experienced can use ready-made sketches. It is important to remember that when you make a fool's costume with your own hands, it is not necessary to customize it according to the child's figure. The outfit should be slightly baggy, so that the child can move and run comfortably.

The edges of the collar and hem of the blouse are covered with braid for weighting, and the edges of the magnificent sleeve and trousers are assembled on a cuff or a wide elastic band. Create the effect of cuts on the fabric through which the material of a different color looks, as well as the bright contrast can be done with the usual appliqués in the form of rhombuses or strips. In addition, a jester's costume can be decorated in any way - braid, paillettes, rhinestones and large beads.

Caps with bells

Headgear is almost the main element in the dress of the jester. Tails on the sides of the head and on the back of the head symbolize the ears and tail of the donkey, a stubborn and comical animal.

It is recommended to sew a cap for a New Year's costume from a soft jersey, because it should sit tightly on the child's head, but do not squeeze it. Tails can be cut as a whole piece of fabric, and from halves of different colors. Collecting the hood is as follows:

• Each tail is connected along a longitudinal line.
• The cones are assembled together in a circular cut and sewn to the base strip.
• To make the cap sit tightly on the back of the head, a cut is made with a buttonhole and a buttonhole.

At the ends of the tail bells are sewn. If there is no way to find real metal, you can replace them with woolen pompoms, very large beads or plastic balls, which are sold for decorating Christmas trees.

Shoes with cuffs

The New Year costume of the jester will become ridiculous and original only if there are special shoes - with lapels and curled noses. You can make them by lining the usual shoes with a cloth cover on a special pattern. The sole should be made of a stronger fabric.

For bent noses you will need a steel wire, which is given the right shape. To avoid tissue breakage or trauma, it should be dipped in glue and wrapped in tissue paper or woolen thread. Sewing threads must match the color of the fabric.

The parts A, B and B shown on the pattern are sewn along the red lines, after which a wire is inserted in them, which is also fixed with stitches parallel to the main seam. After that, the elements are sewn completely. Just like a jester's costume, shoes can be decorated with braid or rhinestones, and bells attached to folded socks.

Optional Accessories

Collecting a child on a New Year's matinee, you can complement his image with several subjects that will make the image of a merry fellow more complete, and memorable photos colorful. Among them:

• Tambourine with a bright pattern.
• The pipe is decorated with bright ribbons.
• Rattles of the type of Spanish castanets - plastic balls on sticks with poured into the dried peas.
• A brightly colored rooster figure on a pole.

All these items will provide a little more fun, they can be set aside at any time and it's not a pity to forget somewhere.
