You have not yet decided which carnival costume you will wear to the matinee in kindergarten or your son's school? Often boys appear at such holidays in the guise of pirates, robbers, and musketeers.

The hero of Charles Perrault's fairy tale, as well as various cartoons and films, Puss in Boots, is also popular. Smart and enterprising, brave and charming, many guys like him. Sewing such an outfit is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.

DIY Puss in Boots costume for a boy

To make your own Puss in Boots costume for a boy you will need a shirt, trousers or breeches, a cape, broad-brim and boots. As for color, the predominance of red is not at all necessary; the suit can be made in both blue and green colors.

The easiest way to create such an outfit is from things available in the house. A bright mother's blouse with a belt or a belt is suitable for him. You can wear regular trousers, make a hat from your dad’s old hat and pin a feather on it.

Can you make an outfit like this? It requires satin White shirt with a large collar, puffy sleeves or sleeves that look like truncated cones. Trim the collar and cuffs of the shirt with lace. Or cut out lace from thick white paper (like paper napkins).

Both classic-cut trousers and narrow trousers reminiscent of leggings are suitable for a cat, or wide breeches. It is better to sew this part of the costume from satin or velvet. You can insert an elastic band into both legs, moving a few centimeters from the bottom, or insert it at the bottom of the trousers. Another option is to sew cuffs to them.

To make a camisole, sew a black vest with a green panel at the front. The vest is fastened at the back with a zipper. This character will also need a wide belt with a buckle.
Making a cape pattern for a Puss in Boots carnival costume is quite simple.

You will need two measurements - the circumference of the child's neck and the length of the product. Since the cloak will not be completely cut like the sun, we add 5-7 cm to the neck circumference. We calculate the radius: R= neck circumference/2π.
Draw a circle on a piece of paper. We add the length of the cloak to the radius and draw the lower circle from the same center.

Cut out both circles. Mark a sector equal to one quarter of the circle and cut it out. Using this pattern, we cut out the fabric and sew the product. We trim the edges of the cloak and the neckline with bias tape. To make the corners of the cloak easier to handle, you can slightly round them. Sew ties to the neckline.

It’s even easier to sew the next cape model. Cut a rectangle from the fabric, the length of which is equal to twice the length of the product, and the width is slightly greater than the width of the child’s shoulders. Trim the edges of the rectangle with lace. In the middle, cut a circle with a diameter of 15–20 cm for the child’s head and trim it with edging.

This element of a Puss in Boots costume for a boy can also be a long sleeveless vest or a wide blouse with cut sleeves. For her would be better suited satin or artificial silk.

Over the knee boots for Puss in Boots can be made from children's boots by attaching wide cuffs made of fabric to match the shoes to their upper edge. They are usually made in the shape of truncated cones with wide bells pointing downwards.

If the outfit includes wide breeches with elastic at the bottom, then you can do without boots. Breeches are worn over golf, and shoes can be worn with boots or shoes with buckles.

Another indispensable element of the Puss in Boots fancy dress costume is a wide-brimmed hat, which you can also make yourself from cardboard.

After measuring the circumference of the child's head, draw an oval of the appropriate size and a hat rim on cardboard. Then draw the brim of the headdress and cut them out. Using a glue gun, glue the parts together. Paint a cardboard hat with black paint, cover it with colored paper or fabric and decorate it with a feather.

If you couldn’t find a natural feather, you can make it from paper. Having cut out the outline, you need to make frequent cuts along its edges and fluff them up. The feather is sewn onto the hat or secured to it using silicone hot glue.

Instead of a hat, the Cat can wear a hat with ears made of fabric or fur to match the color of the rest of the outfit. Or you can attach the ears to a plastic hairband.

Draw the outlines of the ears on paper in the form of two triangles, one of which is 0.5 cm larger than the other on both sides and 4 cm on one, and then transfer the pattern to the fabric.

Cut out black fabric and white ear. Turn the pattern over and cut out the second pair of ears. Place the white triangle on the wrong side of the black one and tuck the edges of the black one 0.5 cm on both sides.

It is better to make the ears for Puss in Boots from a dense material that holds its shape well, for example, from felt. If the fabric is not very dense, insert a rigid base inside the ears, for example, a cardboard triangle, pieces of foam rubber or padding polyester.

Wrap the ears around a plastic hoop and secure it on the outside with threads or glue it with PVA glue. You can also cut out ears from faux fur.

Another necessary detail of a Puss in Boots costume for a boy is the “tail.” It can be done different ways, for example, sew a long thin faux fur cover and place wire inside. Or take three tubes of cardboard (you can use rolled toilet paper), a black stocking or knee-high socks, and a small piece of faux fur.

Place the tubes in a plastic bag and wrap tightly. Then place the workpiece in the stocking and use a stapler to adjust the lower part. To make the tail hold its shape better, you can insert a wire inside it.

To make it swing from side to side, you can place a small weight at its tip. The tip of the tail can also be decorated with tinsel or a piece of fur. All you have to do is fasten the tail to your belt.

And this self-created image of Puss in Boots for a boy will be completed with appropriate makeup: white makeup is applied in the area of ​​the child’s nasolabial triangle, and a black nose and mustache are drawn with a cosmetic pencil.

Costume options

The basis

It is not difficult to reproduce the image. Surely the young fashionista has a red trapeze dress in her wardrobe. If not, mom will try and sew it together in a couple of hours.

To avoid fiddling with the pattern for a long time, any loose dress of a girl is taken and an outfit is created based on it. Sleeves and collar are not needed. The top can be cut figuratively or straight, then treated with bias tape to match the dress.

Reference! You can make the bias tape yourself. Cut strips 4 cm wide diagonally relative to the grain line, fold them in half lengthwise and iron.

Headdress

Big red bow and cute angular ears They will look amazing on little fashionistas. You can attach the components to the headband.

For the ears you will need fur triangles in red tones, as well as white fleece elements slightly smaller in size. The parts are laid face to face, joined on a sewing machine or by hand, and stuffed with padding polyester. Then they are turned inside out and sewn to the rim.

A large bow is tied in the center of the headband. So that during active games it didn’t fall; just a couple of stitches were enough to attach it to the ears.

The basis

Top - T-shirt in blue stripe or vest. If you don't have any striped items, you can sew colored stripes onto a white T-shirt.

Bottom - blue trousers or jeans. Every boy probably has one of these.

Headdress

On the head there is a cap, like a sailor's. If friends or relatives borrow it for one evening, great. If not, making it yourself is not difficult.

A rectangle 6–8 cm high, 35 cm wide is cut out of thick blue cardboard and glued into a cylinder. A white circle is also glued on top, the diameter of which is 1.5–2 cm larger than that of the cylinder. An image of an anchor is applied to the front part of the resulting cap, and two satin ribbons, 15 cm long, are sewn on the back.

In order for the headdress to hold well, you will need a thin elastic band, for which holes are cut on the sides of the cylinder. The ears are made in the same way as Caramel’s and are attached with an elastic band along with the headdress.

Top - green shirt. Bottom - green trousers. If you have old light-colored clothes lying around at home that your child won’t wear, you can experiment and change the color special paint for clothes.

If the trousers are a little short, no problem. Trimming them further will make great capri pants.

A green kitten's cap can easily be obtained from cotton stockings by making a cuff on them. And sew a pom-pom from knitting threads onto the tip.

It is necessary to fill the cap with padding polyester so that it keeps its shape. Or insert a cardboard cone inside. Everything, including the ears, is attached with an elastic band.

The basis of the suit is a black turtleneck and trousers, ideally tight-fitting ones.

Under the neck, at the level of the jugular notch, you need to sew an amulet, which has the shape of a ball with a diameter of 3–4 cm. It is done simply, just buy gold foil at any stationery store and crumple it into the required shape.

Ears and headband

To create a blindfold, black knitted fabric is best suited. The edges of the jersey do not need to be finished when creating the eye holes. This makes the job much easier.

For the ears you will need black felt. 4 identical parts are cut, sewn together in pairs and stuffed with a thin layer of synthetic padding. A wire is run along the contour, which will give the required shape. After the ears are formed, they are sewn on with an elastic band.

Puss in Boots

A piece of black fabric is suitable for a raincoat, which will be fastened under the neck with a button.

Reference! It is better to purchase a large button on a leg with a metallic tint. It will look better than usual and harmoniously complement the image.

To create boots from thick paper or fabric that holds its shape well, two truncated cones are cut out. The smaller base is attached to the shoe with ribbons or elastic bands. The larger one is turned away and edged with burgundy braid. The boots themselves must be black.

You need to complete the image with a sword. If you don’t find one in the toys, thick wire, foil, the cut off bottom of a plastic bottle and a large bead for the tip will help. A hole is made in the center of the bottom of the bottle into which the wire is inserted. One end of it turns into a handle, and a bead is attached to the other.

Attention! No sharp objects are allowed at children's parties, so having a tip is a must!

After production, the sword is completely wrapped in foil.

Headdress

The character's ears are hidden under a black hat with burgundy trim. Finding a headdress of this type will not be difficult, but sewing on colored braid will take 10 minutes. One of the sides is carefully attached to the crown, and a large yellow feather is inserted there. Similar accessories are sold in decoration and decor stores.

Reference! A good alternative to a store-bought pen would be a homemade one. You need to cover the wire with colored tape or paper and cut out the required shape.

The toddlers' favorite is wearing a blue tight-fitting outfit, so... a turtleneck and trousers in these colors will come in handy.

To the chest line acrylic paints applied white drawing in the form of an eye mask. If you don't have paints at hand, you can cut out an applique from white fabric and carefully sew it on.

Let's pick a blue one for the head knitted hat. Ears of similar colors are sewn onto it. Samu the hat must be chosen so that it covers the eyes and nose. After the slits for the eyes are ready, white eyebrows and stripes are carefully drawn on the sides of the head and on top, just like the young hero.

An important detail of the costume is the tail.

• For Caramel, Korzhik and Compote, the tail design is the same. A fur or fabric strip with a pile is folded in half, stitched on both sides, and lightly stuffed with synthetic padding. It is better to connect Caramel's tail with the girl's tights so that it protrudes from under the dress. For Kompot and Korzhik, the tails are attached to the belt.
• . Slim and a long tail It will work great from a black stocking, which is stuffed with padding polyester and then attached to the belt.
• Puss in Boots. The removable fluffy collar also makes a great tail, similar to a fur one.

Reference! To ensure that the hero's sword is always with him, you can thread a hair tie into the belt.

• . The tail is sewn from blue jersey, decorated with light stripes and lightly stuffed. You can sew it to the waistband of your trousers.

Useful tips for creating a cat costume

• Don't fill the tail too tightly, otherwise it will lose its mobility and softness.
• With ears it’s the other way around; the more densely they are stuffed, the better the shape is maintained.
• Every character needs gloves. It is advisable that the accessory matches the suit. Nails are painted with acrylic paints, or felt triangles are sewn onto the fingertips;
• Eye pencil can be used to draw a beautiful mustache- an important attribute of any cat.

Children's activities are designed to spread joy. If you see that the baby is in the image of his favorite hero, with a sparkle in his eyes and a happy smile, then mom did everything right!

If you look carefully on the mezzanine, it is quite possible that the much-needed headdress is lying around there. Otherwise, the hat can be glued together from cardboard. And a feather, if you don’t have one at home either, can easily be cut out of paper, painted and cut into “noodles” around the edges. You can also look for a sword among the boy’s toys or make it yourself.

The simplest cat outfit

Can! Any outfit that matches the color will fit: brown, yellow, white, black. The tail is done or not done, it depends on the availability of time and desire. But you need to build ears.

They are made from a hairband to which cardboard triangles are attached. You can cover them with fleecy fabric or cover them with velvet paper.

If you don’t have a headband at home, but you don’t want to buy one or you can’t, you can do without it. You just need to cut a strip out of paper and glue it together so that you get a ring with a diameter equal to the circumference of your head. This ring should be placed on the head so that it passes through the forehead.

Now triangles are glued to the front just above the forehead. These ears look no worse than those made from hairbands.

Simple cat half mask

Sometimes you want to make a cat costume with your own hands for a boy in a more fundamental way. Then, instead of ears, you can make your child a simple half mask made of thick paper. To do this, just transfer this sample onto cardboard and cut it out. After coloring the craft, you need to make holes on the sides into which to insert twine, elastic or ribbons.

This half mask is attached to the upper half of the face, above the nose, by tying ribbons just below the back of the head.

Volumetric New Year's mask

Any homemade carnival cat costume for a boy will be decorated with a papier-mâché mask. It is quite simple to make, but it will take time to make.

First, a template depicting a cat's face is stuck on a glass cutting board or other surface from plasticine or clay. Then ordinary newspaper is cut into pieces one to two centimeters in size free form. The first layer of paper scraps is moistened with plain water and placed on the template. All subsequent ones are covered with glue or paste.

When the thickness of the papier-mâché reaches two millimeters, work can be stopped. Now you should wait until the craft dries. Final stage work on the product - coloring it. Any paints will do, from watercolors and gouache to oils. At the very end of the work, the mask can be varnished.

And be sure to make holes on the sides into which you need to insert the ties.

Leopold the cat costume

Need to sew bright ones blue trousers and a yellow shirt with wide sleeves on the cuffs. The outfit will be completed with a huge red bow, which should be tied around the neck.

A mask or a cap made of fleecy fabric is put on the boy’s head.

Knitted cat costume

Needlewomen familiar with knitting can also use their skills. After all, a knitted jumpsuit will perfectly imitate fluffy cat fur. And a knitted hat with cute ears is put on her head.

By the way, both the overalls and the hat can be worn after the holiday - today clothes of this type for children are in trend.

Jumpsuit suit. Cutting master class

To sew a cat costume for a boy with your own hands, you will need fleecy fabric of two colors - the main color and a light one for the spot on the belly.

The front closure is best done with a zipper. If the decision is made to make it with buttons or buttons, this point should be taken into account when cutting out the parts.

1. Before you make a cat costume for a boy with your own hands, the patterns should be transferred to paper. The most convenient way to do this is with graph paper, which is what draftsmen use. Then all the details are cut out.
2. The material of the main color is folded in half lengthwise, facing inward.
3. The pattern pieces marked “2 pieces” are laid out on the material, since after cutting you will get exactly a pair of such pieces. Therefore, drawings of the back, front and sleeves are taken.
4. Patterns on the fabric must be laid out in such a way that the direction of the grain indicated on the part coincides with the direction of the grain on the piece of fabric.
5. All details are carefully outlined with a special disappearing paint. You can use dry soap or chalk. At worst, use a pencil, as it leaves a mark that is difficult to remove later. When tracing parts, allowance should be made for seams.
6. Cut out double parts with scissors. The fabric is laid out wrong side up.
7. The cat's tail is cut out.
8. A patch on the stomach is cut out of a lighter fabric.

Sewing a jumpsuit

First you should baste (bait) the parts of the back and front.

1. To do this, place the front piece face down on the front part of the back piece so that the blue and green edges match.
2. Using a “forward needle” seam, the parts are fastened along the blue and green lines.
3. The same is done with the other two parts of the back and front.
4. The resulting halves of the trousers are folded together without turning them on their faces, and they are swept together along the front line.
5. Now you need to sew the shoulder seams of the back and front.

The fitting is carried out without turning the product inside out. If necessary, you can make a correction directly on the figure by removing the excess with a “forward needle” seam. But you need to be very careful not to inject the child.

When the product is fitted to the figure using live thread, you can sew all the seams on a machine and baste the sleeves along the side seams. Without turning the parts inside out, they are basted to the main part of the product so that the deeper recess of the sleeve is in front. After trying on and adjusting the overalls, you can stitch these

After trying on, if corrections are not required, the basting is removed, and all edges of the parts are sewn by machine or manually, if such a function is not available.

At the bottom of the legs and sleeves, a hem is made so that an elastic band or drawstring cord can be inserted. A zipper is inserted into the back seam, and the collar is processed

The tail is cut off, turned inside out and a thick wire is inserted inside. After this, it is sewn to the suit.

First, it is treated with hem or bias tape, then basted to the front of the overalls. Attach the part from above with threads matching the color of the overlay.

Mittens and mask are prepared separately. You can also sew boots. But regular shoes will do just fine.
