Often parents need to solve questions: where to get a Batman costume, a fox, a turnip, how to make masks? Master classes will teach you how to make it yourself. In kindergarten and elementary school, fairy tales are often played out. Thus, children are introduced to the magical world of art. Of course, you can't do without the help of your parents. They will have to buy a costume for the matinee or make it with their own hands so that the role of their beloved child is a success. You can use the outfits available at home by slightly transforming them, and by adding beautiful masks that you can also make yourself.
We make masks for children
If a play is being prepared in a children's institution in which animals participate, pay attention to the samples presented.
These animal masks are made of soft felt. This material does not wrinkle, it is pleasant to the skin of the face and is quite soft. Let's start by creating the image of an owl. To make a mask, enlarge the photo, redraw the details on a sheet of paper:
- heads;
- eye;
- beak.
Cut the first, largest detail out of dark felt. The eyes are light brown and the beak is orange.
To make the mask tight, you can cut 2 identical head parts. Tie them together, wrong sides together, insert strings on the side, stitch along the outer edge and where the eye sockets are. If you want to make one-sided animal and bird masks, then sew on the ties for tying on the wrong side. Stitch in a yellow border for the eyes, and on top of it there is a beak.
The rest of the animal masks are sewn in the same way. For the hare and the fox, only three colors of felt are needed:
- Brown;
- light gray;
- Orange.
To emphasize the sly eyes of the fox, such a beautiful slanting frame is made around them. For the hare, the gray fabric is sewn on the inside of the ears and on the nose. Having created a mask of a cunning cheat and an oblique, you can play a fairy tale with their participation. You already know how to sew a hare costume, but you will understand how to create a dress for a fox after reading the next chapter.
In the meantime, consider another example of creating a mask of a wise owl. It can also be sewn from felt or made from cardboard.
If you want to print masks for children on a printer, then here is a ready-made diagram for you. It consists of:
- faces;
- eyebrows;
- beak;
- eye;
- ocular borders.
The diagram also shows what color each detail should be. If you want to sew a mask, then attach the elements to the base, and if made of cardboard, then glue it.
First, you need to attach the edging of the eyes to the base-head, eyes on them, and thick eyebrows on top. If you sew such children's masks, then attach ribbons or one-piece elastic. If this part of the carnival costume is made of paper, in this case, attach the edge of a thin elastic band to the corner of the mask, grease with glue, place a small piece of cardboard on top, press down. Also decorate the other side.
If you want to make a Batman costume, then you can't do without a mask. See how to craft her and the outfit for the super hero boy.
How to make a Batman costume?
His robe consists of:
- overalls;
- capes;
- hood;
- masks.
What Batman looks like, the photo eloquently demonstrates.
To sew a jumpsuit, you need a pattern that fits the size. Retrieve the pattern of the children's winter overalls from the Burda magazine, but one size smaller. You can sew a Batman costume from knitted, satin fabric.
If you are not good at this needlework, wear trousers or sweatpants and a T-shirt or turtleneck to match your child. All that remains is to make the cape, mask and hood. Use the following pattern to create a cape.
For this accessory, you only need 2 measurements: the length of the cape, the girth of the neck. Redraw the pattern. On the fabric, mark the places where you will stick your hands. Finish the slots. This can be done with tape or leather strips. For the collar, you need to cut out 2 identical details. Sew them at the top and sides, right-folded together. Turn from the inside out onto the face, tuck the edges of the neckline, stitch it to the raincoat.
If the fabric is thin, so that the collar fits well, put a seal inside that keeps its shape. Sew on the clasp or ties. You can sew this cape, symbolizing wings, to the top of your garment. You can make it differently, using a broken umbrella. Sometimes his knitting needles become unusable, while the fabric is still good. Remove it from the base, make a round hole for the head in the center with scissors, and from here - a vertical cut to the edge.
Sew the left half of the raincoat to the left sleeve of the turtleneck, from shoulder to wrist, and the right to the right sleeve of the turtleneck. Here's how to sew a hood: reshoot the pattern.
On the basis of it, you need to cut out 2 parts of the sidewall from the fabric and one - the central wedge. Matching the letters on the pattern, sew these 3 pieces on the wrong side. To make sharp ears, cut 2 small triangles from cardboard and from the same fabric as the hood. Match the first pair by placing the cardboard on top of the fabric. Fold the shape into a cone. Do the same with the second ear, sew them on the hood.
Please note that the fabric for the ears must be cut with a margin on all sides. You will need it when you sew or glue the triangles into cones, and then to stitch these details for the fabric to the hood. Superman's suit will be ready soon - all that remains is to cut and attach the sign and make a mask. The bat can be cut out of shiny fabric, self-adhesive paper, or painted with acrylics.
Choose which mask you like best. She can be like that.

- white tights;
- orange or red fabric or fur for a vest and skirt;

To sew a skirt, cut a rectangle from the faux fur or fabric. Its width is 1.5 girth of the hips, and the length is what length the product will be, plus 2.5 cm for the hem of the bottom and top.
This skirt has just one seam. It will be located at the back, follow it. Fold the top of the skirt inward, tuck the edge 7 mm, hem it, thread the elastic, measured at the waist.

- From taffeta, relying on the calculations of the sun flared, make 3-5 skirts. The splendor of the future product depends on their number. Sew them to a single belt, sew on a button, make a loop to put on and take off the skirt.
You can sew a vest from fur or fabric by resizing a pattern to fit the child's size or by making it in the form of a cape. Measure the circumference of the bottom of the baby's neck. This is the "A" value. The distance from this point to the chest is "B", this is the length of the cape.
Fold the fabric in half 2 times. Also, as in the case of the skirt, measure the radius from the corner, which is = From divided by 6, 28. Make a round neckline and a cut from neck to chest (it will be in front). Finish these 2 edges by folding and stitching them. Also sew a seam along the top and bottom edges of the cape. Sew on the straps to tie the new thing on.
You can make a fox mask as described at the beginning of the article, or buy a ready-made one. If there is neither one nor the other, then cut out a strip from orange fur or fabric corresponding to the length of the headband, and the width will be 2 times the width of the rim, add seam allowances.
Bend the fabric along the wrong side up, sew the edges on two long sides and on one small side, turn the workpiece over your face, insert the hoop into the hole. Sew the free, fourth, end on your hands. Cut out triangular ears from cardboard and fabric or fur. Sew them by inserting cardboard into a fabric blank. Sew to the rim.

The turnip is attached to a green cape. To sew a vest, find out the distance from the bottom of one shoulder to the bottom of the second, add a seam allowance. Cut out a rectangle from the fabric. We have already determined its width, and to find out the length, put the beginning of the measuring tape to the bottom of the thighs in front, lift it up, throw it over the shoulder back and stop at the bottom of the thighs at the back.
Fold the vest in half. Cut a hole for the head. To make it fit well, you can make a clasp on the back or on the shoulder. In the latter case, the cape is cut from two fabrics.
It remains to put on the child white tights, a shirt, shoes and that's it. what you sewed for the matinee with your own hands and go to the holiday.
