Making a white body
You will need: a white T-shirt, a vest, a sweatshirt (you will have to cut off the sleeves), possibly with a hood, a lot of cotton balls, a needle and white thread.
- Choose a suitable suit that will become the basis of your sheep's body, lay it out.
- Take cotton balls (you can buy them at a drug store or home improvement store) and start sewing them onto the base.
- Sew tightly so that the balls create a continuous surface. If you are working with clothes that are not too loose, periodically try on the resulting body - it should not begin to wrinkle or shrink.
- Shake the finished structure thoroughly to check how tightly the balls are sewn. Individual elements may need to be secured additionally.
A few useful sheep secrets:
If you don’t want to or don’t know how to sew, you can simply glue the balls - especially if you have a convenient glue gun:
The finished suit can be trimmed around the perimeter with faux fur, then the sheep will turn out to be the most touching:
As a base, you can use not only a wide vest, but also any other comfortable clothing. So, you can inexpensively buy white sports overalls or pajamas, and also sew a sheep costume with your own hands - especially when it comes to an outfit for a baby.
To go classic black and white, you can color some of the cotton balls black. Just do this ahead of time and let them dry before you start sewing or gluing. This will create a natural dividing line between dark and light coats. In addition, you can simply put black limbs under the white body using tight trousers and a turtleneck. To make the costume really fun, use... tights. Durable black tights, worn on your legs and arms, will turn you into a real graceful sheep!
Ears and horns
If you are lucky with a vest equipped with a hood, then you just need to not stop and continue gluing the balls - so the hood will turn into a sheep's head. The ears can be cut out of white or black felt. If desired, you can hem them in soft pink. The main thing is not to forget to make a black dot on the nose - you will immediately have a very sheepish look:
In addition, the headdress for your sheep costume can be a whole head - for this you can use a large toy sheep or sew it according to a pattern, gluing on expressive eyes:
Alternatively, you can use a curly round wig as a base - in this case, the ears should be attached to the inner mesh. Completely “sheep” wigs can be purchased, for example, from us. Remember that if you are a natural brunette or brown-haired, a large and light halo around your head will require you to give up too wide eyebrows and, possibly, lighten your skin so that your face will not appear too dark:
Very cute sheep masks can also be purchased, matching them in tone and style to the costume. This is what one of the soft fabric masks looks like:
And this is a version of a purchased cardboard mask:
A wonderful version of the mask can work out if you have... a disposable plate:
You will need a white plastic plate (the size depends on how large the head is for the mask), the same cotton balls, black and brown markers, glue, hairpins or an elastic band:
- Cut out the plate as shown in the picture - you should have the base of the mask, horns and ears.
- Glue the ears and horns onto the base of the mask.
- Bend the nose slightly and color it. Paint the horns brown or gold – it’s in fashion with sheep!
- Now stick cotton balls on the top, choosing a thickness of wool that suits you.
- Attach bobby pins or an elastic band to keep the sheep mask on your head. The mask is ready!
There are horns - now hooves!
Now all that remains is to make the hooves. Don’t forget that the sheep has four of them, so you’ll have to work with both hands and feet. The easiest option is to choose shoes and gloves (or mittens) to match. Alternatively, you can use black hoof-shaped foam bracelets. To make your sheep costume even more realistic, don't shy away from the idea of getting yourself a short, round tail. This could be a piece of fabric with several cotton balls or a cute voluminous tail stuffed with synthetic padding:
In addition, if you are sewing yourself a wonderful sheep's overalls, you can take care of the hooves (at least on the hind legs) in advance. Simply make your own soles from a very thick shiny fabric by gluing or sewing matching stripes on the instep. And if a sheep costume is made for the smallest lamb, the hooves can be made pink:
Feel free to decorate your costume. The sheep wear bells and bows! For example, like this:
See how easy it is to make a sheep costume! If your imagination requires something more, be bold. Maybe you can do something even more original while still maintaining its undeniable sheep-like quality. And yes! Don't forget to learn how to bleat well!
Children's riddle
about the sheep: Fashionistas are walking along the river - white curls in a ring. And in winter, grandmother knits socks from their curls. (Lamb)
How to make a baby goat costume for a boy or girl with your own hands
Any holiday clothing is perfect for a baby goat costume.
For girl:
- dress,
- skirt,
- turtleneck or blouse.
For boy:
You can wear knitted or sewn leggings over your shoes. If a girl's costume has a regular straight dress, it can be trimmed with vertical strips of fabric to create a "shaggy" effect. You can also take a plush and make a special cape for a small goat. It won’t be difficult for a handicraft mother to sew separate trousers and a vest for her little goat. But we repeat once again, any clothing can serve as an outfit for a suit, because the trick of a suit is something completely different.
Cotton ball suit
Another fun option that will require more time and perseverance, but in this case you do not need to know how to cut or sew. Choose suitable clothes for the base. A turtleneck, vest, T-shirt will do. The outfit is made both with and without sleeves. Buy cotton balls at the pharmacy and simply sew them tightly onto the product. If you don’t want to work with a needle and thread at all, glue them to the base. It's great if you have a heat gun.
Don't forget to shake the costume after decorating. If something falls off, you'll have to sew it on tighter. To make this outfit even more original, paint some of the balls black or brown. Use them for decoration. The pigment must be applied before sewing to the base. The paint must dry thoroughly. You can decorate a hat or knee socks with cotton balls. Instead of balls, you can use pompoms made from white or brown yarn. It will also be very original.
So, you have seen how different you can make a lamb costume with your own hands. The photos given in the article clearly show this. Choose an idea based on the amount of time you can spend making it and your sewing ability. Please your child with an original New Year's outfit. Even a beginner can make a beautiful thing.
Baby goat horns on a felt rim
One of the simple ways to make baby goat horns with your own hands is to sew them from fabric. Felt is best suited for such horns - it is very pliable for work and holds its shape well. The horns can be flat, or they can be voluminous (in which case they should be stuffed with padding polyester).
To make felt horns with your own hands you need:
1. Take a hoop and a piece of fabric from which you will cut out the baby goat’s horns and ears. Draw a simple pattern of horns and ears on paper. Cut out the required number of parts according to it.
2. If the baby goat's horns and ears will be flat, simply secure the ends of the fabric to the hoop, sewing along the edges. Or make felt antlers by gluing them on with a glue gun.
3. If you want to make voluminous ears, sew two pieces of fabric for the ears and horns, stuff them with padding polyester and attach them to the headband. The felt ears on the reverse side can be decorated with fur, and the headband itself can be decorated with flowers (if you are making the horns for a girl). So that the baby goat's ears and horns can be well attached to the headband, first cover it with ribbon or thick thread, then the fabric can be easily sewn to the fabric.
The baby goat's horns made from felt, which you make with your own hands, can be attached not only to the headband, but also sewn to the hat. Sew a hat from fabric or crochet it, and then sew the baby goat's horns and ears to the hat.

Baby goat horns made of cardboard
The baby goat's horns, which are larger and stronger, as well as the horns of the mother goat, can be made from paper, or better yet, from cardboard. Cut the cardboard into strips of different lengths, make a circle out of each of them and glue the ends. Next, glue rings of different diameters sequentially, from largest to smallest. After the glue has dried, cover the horns with thin paper, giving the desired texture and making folds. And when the paper dries, paint the horns in the desired color.
Such horns can also be attached to a hairband, which can additionally be secured in the hair with hairpins and bobby pins.
Which color to choose
To make the goat's outfit harmonious, you need to choose the right color. You can dress up a mother goat in a national costume and just add a scarf with dark or light horns, but for a glamorous goat you can use a combination of pink and white. For example, pink horns, hooves, marigolds and the middle of the ears, white strands of hair, a delicate bow or flower on the ear, or a small tiara. A formidable goat can be made in shades of gray and black, and not only horns, but also a muzzle with a corresponding expression can be sewn onto the hat. In order for a hand-made New Year's goat costume to be interesting and effective, you need to carefully think through all the details of the image.
Baby goat horns made of polymer clay
If you are familiar with polymer clay, sculpting neat baby goat horns from it will not be difficult for you. Make small cones out of plastic (polymer clay), give them a slight bend and apply the necessary relief using a toothpick. Leave the polymer clay horns to dry for a while.
When the goat's horns are dry, paint them in a suitable color. Use silver or any color that matches the baby goat costume.
You can attach such horns using felt and hairpins, or use a wide rim, as in the case of felt horns.
Let's start cutting
Choose the appropriate size for the lamb costume pattern and glue the paper parts of the cap and strings together, they should be one-piece.
From the main fabric you need to cut:
- 2 mirrored side parts of the cap with ties;
2 mirrored ear parts;
a rectangular piece in the middle of the cap measuring 9 x 29 cm (9 x 31; 9.5 x 34; 9.5 x 37; 10 x 39 cm for other sizes).
All parts also need to be cut from the lining fabric.
DIY baby goat horns from a plastic bottle
Another simple way to make baby goat horns with your own hands is to use a plastic bottle and pieces of fur from an old collar.
Cut a plastic bottle into two squares, twist the squares into cones and wrap each with tape to secure the plastic. Cut two pieces from an old fur collar - these will be the goat's ears.
Cover the horns from a plastic bottle with paper using PVA glue; the paper can also be pushed inside the cones for strength. Attach the baby goat's horns to the wide headband using double-sided tape or glue. Sew the fur ears to the hairband, but to do this, first wrap it with twine or woolen threads.
Instead of paper, you can also use tape to wrap the horns.
What to add to the suit?
Just a hat may not be enough to create a full-fledged image of a sheep. Choose a soft blouse or vest that matches the color of white plush.
If there is no ready-made one in the closet, then sew using the simplest pattern from the same material.
If you choose a dark hat, then according to the natural “sheep” colors, you need to choose a fluffy white blouse with short sleeves. Sleeves and tights should match the cap.
Do you want to sew a New Year's outfit for your baby? Don't know how and what to do? Make your own lamb costume. It's not difficult, but this thing looks very original.
Paper goat mask
The easiest and most straightforward way is to take a ready-made goat mask. All you need is paper, a printer and scissors.
- Download the selected template picture, print it on a color printer and cut it out.
- Also cut out a strip of paper from cardboard to make a headband for the child's head. Measure the circumference of the child's head and use this length as a guide.
- Glue the cut out goat mask onto the cardboard for density, and then glue the finished mask in the center onto a wide strip. You can also attach the mask to an elastic band.
- Secure the ends of the headband with a stapler or glue and leave the mask to dry.
- On the day of the matinee, simply take your homemade baby goat mask with you and put it on your child’s head before the performance.
Now you have several options on how to make your own baby goat costume and baby goat horns. Whatever option you choose, the image of the kid will turn out to be very funny, and your child will be the cutest kid at the children's party.
Basic outfit for a boy
For a boy, you can take ready-made products as a basis: shorts, trousers or tights in white and gray shades.
A gray knit overall will also work.
The top will be a shirt, T-shirt or turtleneck.
Plush vest
In addition, you can make a plush vest.
Materials:
- gray plush;
- sewing meter;

Wardrobe Sewing goat costume Plastic bottles Glue Fur Scotch Fabric
This is the little goat we had on March 8th at a matinee in the garden)))
and now I’ll tell you how I did it... cut out the base for future horns from a plastic bottle. so that they stand strong.
I folded it in half and wrapped it with thin tape to fix the shape.
stuffed it with toilet paper. I secured it to the hoop using double tape. To be safe, I wrapped it with simple tape again. children's costumes themselves are twisted and fluttered so that they should be super stable))) I wanted to leave it like that, but the horns did not naturally shine.
dilute pva and water 1:1
We cover the horns with torn pieces
still wet, but quite natural)))
I cut out ears from an old collar and trimmed them with a finished edge. I got carried away and forgot to take a photo)))
here's a bigger plan
the horns were the most difficult part for me. Then everything went more fun and faster. I made a vest and simple trousers from gabardine (not expensive and easy to work with for “seamstresses” like me))). I added an element of ribbons from the hem to the pant leg to freshen up the suit. There is also a bell made of cardboard, which was later replaced with a plastic one.
Lamb costume for little kids for a matinee
The simplest option is a combination of a white fur vest. You can take one that is already suitable, if not, then take a white T-shirt or T-shirt and attach medical cotton wool balls to it with glue. Put your child on a black golf shirt or sweater and tights or panties of the same color.
You can use terry overalls in white or black as a costume. To this base, sew ears onto the hood, and put mittens or scratches on the handles. When such actors are photographed, they get very nice photographs as a keepsake. The main thing is to make sure that the child in the room does not overheat in such a suit.
As for the ears, they are cut out according to a template in duplicate from thick felt and attached to a cap or hairband. Don't forget to attach a white ponytail to your pants. White woolen mittens and the same slippers will be useful for hooves. You can make your own slippers by decorating ordinary dance shoes with fur. Well, for those who have absolutely no time to create a costume at home, there are always stores that offer costumes for children of different ages, tastes and budgets.

Master class: making a baby goat's hat
How to make a baby goat's hat from fabric :
To do this you will need fleece fabric for the hat , brown fabric and a cardboard mold from egg packaging for the cones and lining fabric for the lining.
. Draw and cut out the pattern. Option for 4-7 years
. Cut out the front and back parts of the hat and ears from fleece - 4 parts (2 for each ear)
.Sew the ears on both sides and turn them inside out. Then we sew the front and back parts along the top, inserting ears with folded edges into the seam to create folds. Next, cut out the front and back pieces from the lining fabric and sew the lining. Insert the lining into the cap and sew the bottom
. For the horns, cut out a cap from an egg package approximately 3-3.5 cm high. You can make a cut on it and roll it so that the base of the cap becomes narrower and fasten it with a stapler. Cut 2 semicircles from brown fabric for the top of the horns
What you need
The main material of the costume cap is soft plush of white or milky color; faux fur for sheepskin is also suitable. You can get by with regular fleece. You will need about 45 cm of fabric.
The lining is a plain soft pink flannel, also about 45 cm.
You can make a sheep costume with your own hands in a different “sheep” color: use dark gray flannel for the top, and make the lining from white plush. It is desirable that the lining fabric be natural, cotton, so that the baby in the hat is comfortable.
Scale the pattern: the pink square measures 1 inch (2.54 cm) on a side.
DIY goat costume for a girl: kid goat costume for a boy
The symbol of the coming 2015 is the Goat or Sheep. And this character is present at many New Year's parties or carnivals . Goat costumes in stores or rental shops are mostly made of faux fur. It is hot and uncomfortable for the child. In addition, they are standard - a vest, pants and a voluminous hat. But I want something airy and tender. So, we create the image of a goat with our own hands.
We sew a hat for a Goat costume
The goat's cap will look like a lace cap . the cap from crepe satin . This is a rectangle with a height from the base of the head to the crown, a width of 10-12 cm. The upper corners are rounded. Take a stretch lace ribbon. Its length is equal to the length of the vertical coverage of the head from earlobe to earlobe + 5 cm. We manually sew the ribbon to the back of the hat, evenly making folds on the lace.
Through the holes we pull a narrow elastic band into the lace along the length. We try it on the child, measure the required length of the elastic band. Sew the edges of the elastic to the lace.
On paper we draw a blank for the ear. From crepe satin we cut out 2 parts for each ear.
We turn the ears out and stitch them around the perimeter. Fold the eyelet, bending one of the corners more.
We make the horns using a similar pattern, but half the size. Turn it inside out and stuff it with padding polyester.
We pick up the seam on the cap on the sides in two places and on the top of the head in two places. We sew in ears and horns. To ensure that the horns are bent in different directions, iron one of the side seams of the horns firmly with your fingers. Sew a satin ribbon along the bottom edge of the cap.
Do not cut off the excess parts of the ear parts (which will be under the hat), but baste them together.
This will allow the ears to stand up. To make the horns stand vertically, grab them pointwise with a thread to the lace.
Measure the hat for your child, fold the extra triangle onto the satin ribbon at the back and sew it closed.
When trying on, place the lace in folds around the perimeter of the back of the cap. Sew the lace to the hat. Fold the ends crosswise and sew.
Costume accessories
In order for a carnival goat costume, sewn by yourself, to look chic and the image to be complete, you must add accessories: beads with a bell, bracelets, flowers or a crown in the hair, a ponytail, white strands of hair in the hairstyle and even hooves and fur paws. These interesting elements will enliven and add zest to your outfit.
You can buy strands of hair at the market or make your own. You need to take a satin ribbon 5 cm wide and cut it into pieces of the required length. For each hairpin you will need two pieces. The ribbons are glued with hot glue to the hairpin and unraveled from below to the junction. The result is excellent curly locks, which can only be secured into the hairstyle under natural hair.
Such hairpins can also be made from curls from an ordinary wig, which is easy to purchase on the market.
