How to make a Tsarevich costume from packages?
This inexpensive and affordable material is found in almost every home. Now it is not a problem to buy garbage bags of different colors. You can use lilac and yellow, or, as in the example, green and red. For such work, little is needed, these are:
- garbage bags of two colors;
- dense base;
- scissors;
- Scotch;
- needle;
- threads.
- To make such a suit, take the bags, unfold them and cut them into long strips of 3 cm wide. For this kind of work, you will need the simplest macrame skills for beginners.
- Take your child's measurements first. Now take the first strip of the bag and tie it tightly. This can be a wide book, a thick kitchen board, plywood, etc.
- Now tie 6 small ribbons from the bags to this base. Since in this case you will bend them in half, as a result, you will get 12 such cellophane ropes.
- To make the prince's costume, pass the first rope and take the second and third with your left hand. Get a fourth on them from the front? from right to left. Hold the intersection with your right thumb and forefinger.
- Now take the first (temporarily skipped) tape and put it on the second and third from the top, but from left to right. Place the end of this string back and pull it out into the loop formed between the first and second straps. And take out the tip of the fourth rope from behind, passing it into the loop obtained between the third and fourth ribbons.
- Tie another similar knot from these four ribbons, but already mirrored from the first. That is, first the first tape will go up from left to right, then the fourth and you will also pull out their ends from behind.
- You have a double macrame knot. Now create the exact same double from 5, 6, 7 and 8 ribbons. Then make the next one out of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th tape.
- Now, without turning the product over, go to the second row. But skip the first 2 ribbons and create a double knot with 3, 4. 5 and 6 cellophane strings. The next one will be 7, 8, 9 and 10 ribbons. The last two will also remain free.
- Move on to the third row. He completely repeats the first. And the 4th row is created in the same way as the second.
- Weave 10 rows in total. Thus, you have created a sample. Now, by some simple calculations, count how many ribbons you need to use to weave the prince's costume.
- It is better to immediately create a canvas, which consists of two shelves and a back. And when you reach the armholes, you will simply twist the ribbons around its axis in this place and not use them in weaving. You will get straight armholes.
Now that you have made the necessary calculations, based on the sample, tie as much vertically as necessary to the large horizontal tape. We begin weaving, first creating the bottom of the Tsarevich's costume. In this case, the threads of the red bag are used first.
- When the bottom of the Tsarevich's costume is completed, tie green ribbons to the red ribbons. When weaving, hide the knot on the wrong side of the fabric. Now weave with ribbons of this second color. When you get to the armholes, virgin as described above.
- Finish the macrame weaving around the neckline. But make a small margin here so you can sew on the collar. You will also make it from the package. Open this part. Frame it with tape from a bag of the second color. To get such a ruff, put the tape on the edge of the collar, sew it on to make it angry and, along the way, smoothen it down. When this tape ends, place the tip of the same second under it and sew further.
- If you made a sample for macrame, you can immediately take as many tapes so that you can then make the sleeve cuffs from it. Make the second one exactly the same and sew the bottom of the bag in a different color to it. But do not unfold it all the way to create a fold on this sleeve. Or cut through it so that the boy can then pass his arms through here. Trim it with a little tape from the red bag. Make the second sleeve in the same way.
- Take 4 strips of red and weave a finishing tape from them. Sew it on the shelf of the Tsarevich's suit to complete the decoration.
Provide a clasp at the front. It can be zipper, Velcro. If you want, then make loops from the ribbons of the bag, sew them on one side, and the buttons? with another.
When you remove the braid from the base, you will have a ribbon at the bottom. You can tighten it a little, hem the ends and trim off the excess.
Weave a strip for a hat from green ribbons using macrame. Then sew the gathered red bag to it. You will get the headdress of the prince. This is how to make a prince's costume for a competition or theatrical performance.
