At a theme party in kindergarten or school, the teacher can offer the child the role of a cockerel. It looks like a complex costume consisting of many small parts.
Don’t be scared and run to the store to buy a finished product, because you can sew a cockerel costume for a boy with your own hands.
Ideas
Costumes based on bright clothes
You can create a rooster costume based on a bright shirt and trousers. Multi-colored feathers and a head cap or cockerel mask will help make the image recognizable. The luxurious colorful tail can be attached to a belt.

Emphasis on the wings
An excellent solution is to focus on the wings. They can be made in the form of a cloak or cape and straightened by raising the arms.

The main element of the costume can be a voluminous rooster's head made of foam rubber. It in itself makes the image recognizable; the rest of the clothing serves only as an addition. This costume is also suitable for adults.

The cockerel costume is, first of all, bright colors. Use any shiny flowing fabrics (satin, crepe-satin) or other materials of rich colors: red, orange, yellow, green. The feathers, tail and comb should hold their shape well; foam rubber and felt come in handy here.
Preparation
By creating a New Year's costume for a child with your own hands, you can try on the role of a fashion designer. In order to make a carnival outfit, you do not need to be a professional seamstress, just basic sewing skills and imagination. The instructions will help you quickly complete the task. A creative approach is encouraged in this matter.
Before you start creating a New Year's rooster costume, you need to decide on its elements.
So, the rooster’s outfit includes:
- torso;
- headdress decorated with a comb;
- wings with eye-catching feathers;
- legs;
- bright tail.
All details must be in harmony with each other and hold firmly.
Advice.
Think through every detail of the carnival costume so that you don’t have to redo it later.

A cheerful rooster costume is ideal for kids. You can go the simple route (if the child is small, a plausible outfit is not so important): put on the child a sunny yellow T-shirt (you can also use a white one) and red or green pants with suspenders.
Advice.
Choose things that match the color palette of the rooster, preferably plain ones, so that you can decorate them with scraps later. Yellow, soft green, and orange colors are welcome. The top should be bright and the bottom darker.
The bright top will be balanced by brown pants. The look needs to be complemented with details such as a comb (make sure it is securely fastened so that the part does not fall off at the wrong moment) or a beak sewn to the cap.

Don't forget about the catchy collar and matching cuffs. Glitter will help you create a New Year's ambiance: at the final stage, you decorate your outfit with it.
If you need a costume for an older child, you will need a pattern and multi-colored material, fittings and appropriate accessories.
The choice of fabric and other materials is very important. As already noted, the rooster is a bright bird with a beautiful crest, an elegant tail and a confident gait. The Rooster feels like a king, his shades are, first of all, red, sunny yellow, emerald and blue (remember the reflections in the tail).
The Year of the Fire Rooster is coming, and taking this into account, the material for sewing the New Year's rooster costume should be chosen in a rich, bright color scheme.
Advice:
choose breathable fabric to prevent your child from sweating. It’s ideal if you can find nylon fabric: it’s easy to cut, and there are plenty of color options for this material.

Design features
In the design of the New Year's rooster costume, various decorations will be appropriate. In addition to the scallop, the cap may have a beak, beard and eyes. The material used is cardboard and thick fabric. Eyes can be drawn or made from buttons.
To sew a bright rooster tail, you will need scraps of fabric of different colors. We cut out a pair of identical parts from the scraps; in the future these will be “feathers”. One pair of parts should be larger than the others. Sew the halves together, leaving a gap of a few centimeters, then fill the parts with cotton wool or padding polyester. Attach the largest “feather” to the belt, then place all the others around it.
There are many ways to make a rooster costume for a boy with your own hands. The proposed version of the costume can be changed, supplemented and improved without limiting imagination. Use different fabrics, experiment with colors and decorations, headdresses and other details to make the costume original and memorable. Now matinees, performances and searching for a costume will not be a problem, and the child will have an unforgettable holiday experience!
Christmas trees are just around the corner. Choosing a children's holiday costume is always difficult for parents. I want my child to look no worse than others, but spending a lot of money on an outfit that the child will most likely wear once is not affordable.
“AiF-Volgograd” has prepared a master class that will help you create a bright New Year’s rooster costume, the symbol of the next year, with your own hands. With a competent approach to the matter, the result will be not only beautiful and budget-friendly, but also useful: you can also involve a child in making the costume. Cutting simple parts out of fabric, stuffing blanks with holofiber - all this can be done by a kindergartener. And to put on a suit that you almost made yourself is a special pride.
Buy or sew yourself?
In markets and children's stores on the eve of matinees, a lot of children's carnival outfits appear. They represent the main characters in kindergarten theater scenes. Among them there will definitely be a chicken costume.
A simple outfit can be bought at a very reasonable price. But such an acquisition has several disadvantages:
- Firstly, the quality of inexpensive suits is very far from ideal; they are sewn from synthetic materials and cut at random. As a result, they can hardly stand one performance.
Secondly, the range includes one or two models. If you want your child’s matinee costume to look original, this is unlikely to be possible with a purchased product.
How to make a Fire Rooster craft from threads?
To reproduce this you will need:
- red and white threads;
- tweezers;
- scissors;
- "Titan" - adhesive for ceiling tiles;
- drawing of a cockerel made on a printer;
- scotch.
Cover the drawing with tape. Pour the glue into a small bottle with a spout, apply it to the outline of the animal's chest, using tweezers to help you, place a piece of red thread on top.
Using the same technique, lay out the next turns, forming the body and head of the bird.
Next, make embossed feathers, lay a white thread inside several, and also attach them with glue.
To make the craft even more chic, you can glue matching glass pebbles to the ends of the feathers.
Having completed the first wing, move on to the second.
All that remains is to design the rooster's tail. To do this, also first glue the thread along the contour, then fill the inner space of the openwork wings.
Leave the Fire Rooster craft to dry for 24 hours, then carefully remove it from the base. You will see dried drops of glue peeking through. Remove them with a soldering iron, but you need to act carefully so that there is no blackness due to burnt glue. The work is completed, you can frame it and give it as a gift or hang it on the wall and wait for the holiday.
Creating a New Year's outfit
In a few simple steps you can create a bright image for your child.
- You should start with the headdress.
As a headdress, you can use a hat made in the form of a comb (it is not difficult to make according to patterns - first cut it out and then sew two parts, attach a gathered comb on top). The comb can also be made voluminous: cut out two blanks from scarlet fabric and fill them with foam rubber. A voluminous comb can be attached to a bandana or a regular hat. If time is short, the headdress can be replaced with a rooster mask. - The second option is a little more difficult; it consists in making the top of the outfit in one piece - and connecting the hood with the cape. The cape is needed to recreate the imitation of bird wings. Sew a comb into the seam of the hood, which is located inside, and add eyes and a beak to it.
To make the eyes, use scissors to cut out an oval blank from white material, and sew a small black circle on top. Use beads or iridescent threads as a finishing touch. The beak can also be made from fabric (in the central part, attach a triangle filled with foam rubber or other filler with thread and a needle).Important!
To make the beak, you should use red, orange or yellow fabric.

You can also use paper as a material for the beak.Take thick paper (preferably cardboard) and paint it with gouache to which PVA glue has been added, and then cover it with material, preferably red, but yellow will also work. Papier-mâché for making a beak is also a good option. Sew red grooves on the sides of the headdress (they can also be filled with padding polyester or left as is - flat).
- It is recommended to make the main part of the outfit, the shirt, by analogy with a bat. To do this, you can use a simple blouse, decorating it with a colored collar or shirtfront. Decorate the sleeves with puffy cuffs and make teeth reminiscent of feathers (buttons are also suitable for decorating the cuffs).
- By tying a bright bow around your neck (it is better to use satin material), you will imitate a rooster's beard. If the T-shirt has long sleeves, or the child wears a turtleneck, make a chest by attaching a shirtfront with feathers. To do this, cut out an oval fabric blank, make teeth along the edges (to imitate feathers), sew on several colored patches cut in the form of drops.
Choose the shirt size based on the child’s height; it should go below the chest. Perform actions consistently and do not rush. DIY rooster costume, photoIn the same way, you can make a luxurious cape from a large semicircular blank, attaching it to a jacket in the arm area (also decorating it with rags imitating feathers). Such a cape can be a single piece with a hood.
If you don’t want a cape, make feathers from multi-colored material according to the template and attach them with threads in a checkerboard pattern (start from the shoulder). Sew several feathers in rows, due to this you will make the costume brighter and more magnificent.
- The lower part of the suit can be trousers, loose trousers or shorts. The best option is trousers below the knee length. Decorate the bottom with teeth or sew feathers like on the sleeves, so the outfit will look harmonious, and all the elements will be combined with each other.
On a note!Feathers for the top and bottom can be made from colored ruffle flounces, leftover silk or shiny ribbons.
If the room is not too warm, wear light-colored tights underneath.
- If your child wears sandals, be sure to find colorful socks (can be plain or striped). If you wish, you can also make homemade boots: make paper tops for the shoes, making cuffs and decorating them with buckles, then decorate them. To decorate the buckles, glue glitter foil to them and attach to the ribbon. It is not difficult to create an imitation of rooster legs in the form of soft, comfortable chunyas, the soles of which have three fingers.
- An older child's outfit can be complemented with other original details, for example, a vest.
A sash made of red satin fabric with tassels will look very impressive. When creating a carnival costume, remember the rooster from the famous cartoon “The Musicians of Bremen” and be guided by it in your work, try to recreate this fairy-tale character. - The most important part in creating a rooster carnival costume is the tail. The tail is the pride of the rooster; when many people mention this bird, they associate it with its bright tail, so you can’t do without this element in your outfit.

Important!
When creating a children's New Year's costume, you need to remember not only the attractiveness of the outfit, but also its convenience.
Remember that the child will have to perform in a costume and perform dance numbers. If your child is comfortable, he will be able to relax.
It is important that the child is not afraid of breaking any part of the costume. A wire frame for the tail is not the best option; you need to make it soft. Cut out several blanks in the form of feathers, glue their back side and insert foam rubber. Sew the blanks. Divide the feathers into two halves. Having chosen a feather that is longer than the others, attach another shorter one to it, stitch it, then on top of these two - another feather, and so on until the shortest one.
Repeat similar steps with the second part of the feathers. Connect the two feather parts by stitching the largest feathers and sewing two sticks into each at the place where they connect (to give the tail rigidity and stability).
Make a belt using Velcro and attach the tail using thread and a needle to its center.
It is better to make the tail feathers voluminous, but soft.
The tail can also be made from multi-colored satin ribbons: they will flutter beautifully.
Advice:
When choosing accessories for a carnival costume, remember that you should get a single ensemble.
There are several ways to make a New Year's rooster outfit; they are all pretty simple. Working from patterns is very convenient.
Making a homemade carnival costume will not require much expense. It’s not that difficult to make a handmade New Year’s outfit: it’s a creative, interesting job.

The main part of the work is related to the manufacture of the main parts of the costume: shirt, headdress, wings, tail, but accessories also play an equally important role. It is the accessories that give the costume a festive look.

Image detailing

In general, there is a lot of work. Every detail must be thought through, judged, from what and how it can be prepared.
