The costume of a cat with their own hands

With the approach of the New Year, the majority of parents are in urgent need of finding a carnival costume for a child. We suggest you make a cat costume yourself. Agree, your daughter in this outfit will look stylish and unusual, especially if compared with repeating from year to year snowflakes and princesses. In the end, the made cat's furniture can be used for the growing popularity of the Western Halloween holiday. So, we will tell you how to make a cat costume easily and without special sewing skills.

Ears, paws, tail

What cat can be imagined without ears and a twisting tail? Therefore, we will begin to make the costume of a black cat with our own hands precisely with these required attributes. To make the ears you will need:

• simple plastic hoop;
• paper for making a cat's costume;
• pencil, scissors;
• pieces of felt black and pink flowers;
• needle with thread;
• glue.

1. Fold a sheet of paper in half and apply the following pattern of the cat's tab.
2. Cut it out so that the pattern turns out to be double.
3. Based on the received sketch, cut out two details from the felt of black color.
4. Wrap both parts around the hoop around the edges.
5. Fold each piece and connect at the top of the hoop with a needle and thread.
6. And carefully sew the ends of the ears with a decorative seam.
7. From a cut of felt pink color cut out on a pattern two triangles of the smaller size.
8. Attach them to the ears with glue.
9. Now we have ears for the children's costume of the cat with our own hands.

To make a tail you will need:

• 2 cardboard tubes from a roll of toilet paper;
• 1 cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels;
• 1 stocking or golf black;
• pieces of black fur;
• pin.

1. We put 2 tubes of toilet paper into an ordinary package and wrap the package around them.
2. We put the stock in the stocking until the very end.
3. We wrap the stocking edge in the tube.
4. The stapler separates the lower part of the "tail".
5. Then insert the tube into the stocking from the roll of towels, previously wrapped in a bag.
6. The free end of the stocking is stitched or fastened with a pin.
7. For greater decorativeness to the stocking in different places sew (prikleevayem) pieces of fur.

The tail for the cat's suit is ready!

How to sew a cat costume?

If you have already made ears and a tail for a cat, with the basic attire everything is simple. In the wardrobe of your baby you will need to find tight pantyhose or black leggings. But the upper part of the costume can be arbitrary: a black dress, black golf or tights. In case you have chosen one of the last two suggested options, we suggest you sew a coquettish lush skirt of tulle, and there are two options. First: sew a skirt on the proposed below pattern of a cat's costume for a girl.

Having cut out a skirt according to the scheme, it is stitched, not forgetting to insert wedges. Thanks to the belt on the belt, the skirt will look magnificent. But it's much easier to make a skirt-tutu:

1. Fatin is cut into strips with a width of 20 cm. The length of the strips should be equal to the double length of the future skirt.
2. On the back of the chair you need to pull a wide elastic band and tie it with a knot. Its length should be the length of the waist of the daughter plus 10 cm per knot.
3. We begin to "collect" a skirt. Each strip is tied with a double knot on an elastic band. So we continue along the whole circle of elastic, trying to make a skirt lush.
4. Having finished work, on the ends of a rubber band we sew velcro.

As you can see, it is not difficult to sew a cat's costume for a girl. On the holiday itself, do not forget to make your daughter a special make-up: draw a black nose and antennae.

By the way, the proposed ideas can be used by those who are interested in how to make a cat woman's costume. This applies to sewing ears, tail and skirt-pack. Well, black leggings and golf are found in any women's wardrobe. That's just an addition to the costume of female cats with their own hands will be bright makeup, long nails with black lacquer and gloves with trimmed fingers.

With his own hands, it's easy to make other costumes, for example, a Snow Maiden costume or a gypsy woman .
