New Year's knight/hero costume for a boy - how to sew it yourself?

Probably many mothers sewed their children’s New Year’s costumes themselves. But this is what a New Year's costume of a knight or hero could look like for a boy if you sew it yourself. If possible, a photo version would be desirable.

If you make a suit soft, it is quite simple, just basic sewing skills are enough.

You need straight pants and a long-sleeve T-shirt, whatever it is called correctly. From some plain fabric. It's very easy to sew them.

Then you go to a do-it-yourself store and buy foil-coated sheets of isolon. See the thickness for yourself, 0.5 will be too easy to bend, 1 cm may be inconvenient, especially for a baby, but it will definitely create the impression of armor. If you find an isolon, you will have to go to the tourist and hunting center and buy a metallized karemat (tourist rug) there, but this is more expensive. Cut large plates from isolon. The trousers will be made of thighs, shins (closed from the inside), you can make knees separately. On top - the chest, back (you can even use one piece with a neckline, it’s even better), plus flaps on the sides covering the upper third of the hips, plus forearms, shoulders and elbows. You can also use armpit rondels. You just sew it all on.

Additionally, you can take gloves and also sheathe them. Small plates on the top of the phalanx (it goes too far on the sides - you’ll have to walk with your fingers splayed, but there’s certainly no need to sheathe the inside), on the next one, and finally on the back of the hand. To make it absolutely beautiful, each next row hangs slightly over the previous one.

Like there are whole scales on my fingers. One plate per phalanx is enough. And let it be solid above the palm. The girdle (bell) is very good. If there is still material left, do it.

You can make a helmet from the same isolon. Here you will definitely have to take 1 cm thick.

This thing is called a "bascinet". It even has an edge, so by making it from two halves, we will remain close to the truth. You don't have to make a visor. The only thing I would recommend is to connect the two halves at the front and bottom so that they don’t bulge and the helmet keeps its shape.

The end result should be something like this:

You can not fool around, but make a knight of the 12th century. Sew a shirt, trousers and a hood from knitwear, matching the colors to match the chain mail. Or sew some kind of mesh on top. Put on a bright cott-d-arm on top - it’s simply a rectangle with a slot for the head and a couple of slits, stitched on the sides (for beauty, we draw some kind of coat of arms on it with acrylic). The helmet has a round bottom, we sew a rectangle and a face to it - the same isolon.

The process of making a suit from fabric

A beautiful knight costume made of fabric is created in several successive stages.

• The first thing you should do is prepare your T-shirt. Of course, there may be several wardrobe items at home. It is advisable to give preference only to neutral clothes. It is recommended that it be as long as possible and made of thick fabric.
• Now you should trim the sleeves of the T-shirt along the seam line.
• Please note that all costumes have a jagged pattern. It is recommended to depict it on the bottom of clothes. Then you should cut out the design and trim the edges.
• The emblem of courage should be located in the middle of the T-shirt. It can be depicted in several ways. The simplest one is to buy a ready-made applique and glue it to clothes. The second way is to draw it on fabric using a stencil. The third is to draw it on paper and attach it to a T-shirt.
• The suit also requires choosing or sewing tight-fitting pants, similar to chain mail.
• The final touch is the boots. They should be dark and high, preferably with low heels. You should also make a jagged pattern on the headbands. If you don’t want to spoil your shoes, you can make a golf edging in a similar way.

The suit is ready. A long coat will complete the look. To make it, just take a flowing fabric and connect the two edges with a beautiful brooch around the neck.

What to make a helmet for a hero from

A hero’s costume without a headdress doesn’t look good at all, so the little warrior will need a beautiful helmet. It can be made from simple and affordable materials.

What you need for work:

• five liter plastic bottle;
• plastic glass 500 ml;
• laundry bag or piece of mesh;
• silver or gold paint in a can;
• mounting double-sided tape;
• scissors and glue.

Progress

1. From the top of the bottle we cut out the base of the helmet. To do this, draw a wide frontal part with a marker, leaving the sides even. We cut off everything unnecessary.
2. We make a conical top of the helmet from a plastic glass. To do this, cut out the bottom of the glass and cut it vertically. We cut out a cone from the resulting plastic sheet and fasten it with double-sided tape.
3. Next, we connect the parts of the helmet. We attach the cone with tape to the plastic helmet from the inside.
4. Let's start making chain mail for the helmet. We make it from a laundry bag. This mesh is quite durable and inexpensive. You can use mosquito netting or remnants of tulle, but this material is thin and stretches a lot.
5. We paint the mesh with spray paint in silver or gold.
6. Next, we paint the helmet itself, applying several layers so that it does not show through. Let the workpiece dry.
7. We cut the mesh and try it on the helmet. At the fastening points we apply double-sided tape, to which we attach the chain mail mesh.

We try on the finished heroic helmet on the baby. Let's start making other parts of the costume.

A little about fabrics and colors

When presenting a knight costume for a boy, you should decide on the color scheme. This hero is very courageous and strict, and therefore an abundance of colors will harm the image. Everything should be done in subdued colors.

For example, for armor it is best to give preference to steel-colored fabric. It can be brocade or other silver-colored material. Pants can be made of soft knitwear in both dark and light natural shades. Beige trousers in combination with a burgundy velvet coat will look ideal. Or black pants with a rich blue or bottle tint.

Be sure to choose a bright fabric for the coat of arms. It is best if it is the color of silver or gold. A knight costume for a boy must include a sword or sword. And to make it convenient for the child to have fun at the matinee, you should make a leatherette belt with special fasteners for weapons.

DIY chain mail and shirt for a hero

An indispensable attribute of a heroic costume is a shirt with a Slavic pattern and chain mail. To sew a “Bogatyr” costume for a boy with your own hands, you need to stock up on the following materials:

• white loose shirt;
• a piece of border with a Slavic pattern;
• foil backing for laminate;
• glue, scissors, double-sided tape.

Progress

Step No. 1 Shirt of a hero

You can turn a simple white shirt or nightgown into a heroic shirt. To do this, just sew a beautiful border with a pattern along the bottom of the product. Nowadays you can find almost any border on sale. The shirt for the hero is ready.

Step No. 2 Chainmail

Chainmail can be made in several ways.

1. A vest is cut out of an old knitted sweater and painted with spray paint. To do this, the vest is pulled over the back of the chair. This chain mail turns out to be quite light, but the smell of paint remains.
2. You can make scaly chain mail armor. To make it, you will need rectangles of the same size, which are fastened in a checkerboard pattern. You need to start working from the bottom row of chain mail. In addition, the rectangles must be painted on both sides. The dried parts are sewn onto a thick sleeveless vest.

Important !

You can make a chain mail shell from a foil backing under the laminate, cardboard, plastic folder or other materials.

The process of making a suit from cardboard

A knight costume for a boy made of cardboard is also created in several basic steps.

• First of all, you should straighten the sheets of cardboard to make them easier to work with.
• Next, on each sheet you need to draw a drawing, depicting a jacket (front and back side) on different sheets. You should first measure the volume of the child’s chest and make products in accordance with the parameters of the future hero. Next, the two components need to be cut out and connected to each other using glue.
• Draw a pattern on the resulting T-shirt using paints.
• Next, make a closed cylinder from a sheet of cardboard and connect it, after which you need to cut a hole in it for the face.
• The final touch is the creation of protective wings. To do this, just cut out two identical ovals and connect them to the vest.

The cardboard knight costume is ready, it is recommended to wear it with a dark T-shirt, tight pants and long boots.

How to make boots and pants for a hero boy costume with your own hands

Old Russian heroes wore high boots with curved toes and a figured top. You won’t find these on sale, but making them is quite simple from scrap materials.

What you need for work:

• thick fabric for boots;
• doublerin;
• thick linoleum or leather for the sole;
• thick threads for decorative work;
• awl, scissors.

Step No. 1 Pattern of boots

We take the necessary measurements from the child’s leg and draw a pattern like this.

We transfer the details of the side and front of the boots onto the fabric, not forgetting about the seam allowances. We cut out the sole from thick linoleum or leather.

Step No. 2 Assembling boots

We iron all the details. We additionally seal the front part of the boot with doublerin so that the boots keep their shape.

We use an awl to make holes on the sole through which the boot will be sewn.

We fold the parts of the fabric boots with the right sides inward and sew them on a machine. Turn it inside out and try it on the sole. We distribute the fabric along the side of the sole, pinning it with pins. The sole must be sewn on by hand, using even and neat stitches.

The boots for the hero costume are ready!

The pants of the ancient Russian hero are made of plain fabric. For cutting them, the pattern of any sweatpants or bloomers is suitable. We transfer the pattern to the fabric and sew the pants along the side and crotch seams, not forgetting to tuck the bottom of the legs and insert the elastic into the waistband.

You can use ready-made sweatpants made of knitted fabric in soft colors.

What do you need to make a fabric suit?

The Dark Knight costume is made in a few basic steps. To do this you will need the following:

• T-shirt and sweatpants in boy's size. You can sew a T-shirt yourself or use a ready-made product. It is desirable that it be neutral, dark in color and have no patterns;
• small pieces of cardboard;
• long boots or knee socks;
• soft fabric;
• scissors, glue and thread;
• bright colors;
• paper.

Once all the tools are prepared, there is no need to rush to start making the costume. First you should imagine what it will look like. Then you can draw a small layout on paper. You should definitely show the future version of the product to your child and find out his opinion about the chosen image.

Shield and sword for a hero from scrap materials

Weapons make the outfit more impressive. As a rule, a handmade hero costume for a boy is complemented with a shield and sword.

To make a sword you will need:

• thick cardboard;
• spray paint;
• metal and plastic jewelry;
• glue, scissors.

On thick cardboard we draw a sketch of the future sword. We cut out several parts that we glue together. This will give additional strength to the finished product.

We cover the dried sword blank with several layers of spray paint to obtain an even and beautiful color. When the paint is dry, we begin decorating the sword.

To decorate the handle, you can take beads, multi-colored plastic or metal rhinestones, colored foil, etc. Decorations are glued in random order onto the handle of a cardboard sword.

The shield for a warrior is made light. In Slavic culture, the shape of the shield was simple, more reminiscent of a circle or oval. The shield for a hero consists of several parts:

• main part - 2 cardboard circles. We calculate the diameter of the circle as follows: measure the length of the arm from the tip of the middle finger to the child’s elbow;
• borders - a hoop made of cardboard about 3 -5 cm wide. The inner part of the hoop can be made curly;
• central circle with decoration: dragon head, sun or monogram.

The cardboard shield elements for the main part are glued together, then painted and allowed to dry. The border is painted separately, then applied to the main part and glued. The same goes for the central part of the shield. When the shield is ready, an elastic band is glued to the inside of it, which will fix it in the hand.

By working on a hero costume for a boy, you can give ordinary things a new purpose with your own hands. By using imagination and ingenuity, you can accurately copy all the details from ancient legends. It is important not to overdo it with decorations, because the hero is a rather strict and formidable image. Ideas for your option can be seen in the video:

What is the character?

Before we talk about how to make a knight costume with your own hands, you should figure out what kind of character this is? The first representatives of this class appeared at the beginning of the 7th century. They were part of the military and landowning classes. Knights were always ready to defend their Motherland, honor and glory.

In appearance, this character is something powerful and large: he has an impenetrable suit made of dense metal, a protective shield and a helmet. Nowadays such heroes can only be seen in old films and science-fiction cartoons. Of course, every boy dreams of being strong and invincible, so he simply needs such a suit!

costume master class that can be useful for any matinee, this is a hero costume !

What is included in a heroic costume ?

To do this, take a regular white shirt and a special braid with embroidery. Trim the cuffs and collar. We sew the braid along the edge of the collar and along the edge of the shelf on which the loops are located -15-20 cm down. We also sew the braid along the bottom of the sleeves.

This is what happened!

For protection, we take ordinary “double-thread”

. We cut it according to the shirt, only a little longer and wider. Accordingly, we make the neckline a little larger and the sleeves shorter. We sew gray bias tape along the bottom of the sleeves and along the edge of the neckline.

Next we take a leather substitute. We cut out square parts, and one should be larger than the others. We glue the parts onto a glue web so that they do not move during sewing.

We draw an ornament on the sewn parts using silver acrylic paint.

There are no special preferences here. You can take any pants that match the color and are wide enough.

We need thick cardboard for the helmet. Let's make something like this.

Glue the part according to the allowances with a glue gun.

We paint our helmet with bronze-colored spray paint (I used hammer effect)

.

We braid a braid from knitting threads and glue it along the edge of the helmet.

Next we glue the mesh to the back of the helmet.

The cloak requires a piece of red lining fabric - 1 meter and gold braid for decoration.

Mark and cut out the neck and bottom.

Next we process the edges and bottom.

Then we sew gold braid along the edges, and embroidered braid along the neckline.

Sew ties (gold braid)

. And our cloak is ready!

We make this pattern of parts and substitute leather.

We sew all the details along the edges.

We sew silver braid along the upper edge of the boots. And the boots are ready!

With a spear everything is very simple! We take a polyethylene pipe and cardboard. We paint the pipe with spray paint - bronze, and form a tip from cardboard (we also paint it with spray paint)

. We connect one with the other with a glue gun and the spear is ready!

For the shield we need cardboard, bronze spray paint, gouache paint (red and ocher, thick threads, a wide elastic band, a glue gun.

Cut out four circles of different sizes from cardboard. We paint them with paints. On the second circle we form a pattern of threads. On the first circle we make slits and insert an elastic band (for fastening on the hand)

.
There should be two fastenings to make it more convenient to hold the shield. Next, we assemble our shield (glue the circles together)
.

In the end, this is what happened.

This is Dobrynya Nikitich!

Additional accessories

To create a strong image, it is not enough to know how to make a knight costume. You should also think about making additional accessories. The hero's main pride is his weapon. A powerful sword will go perfectly with this carnival outfit. To make it you will need thick cardboard. You need to depict the future weapon on it, then carefully cut it out and paint it with multi-colored paints. Do not sharpen it too much so that the child does not get injured.

You can also make a large circle-shaped shield out of cardboard and paint it silver, red or blue. You need to make two inconspicuous holes in it and thread a belt through them, after which the knight’s protection can be put on the belt.

Another important detail of the image is the helmet. Unfortunately, creating a beautiful accessory on your own is quite difficult, time-consuming and problematic, so it is recommended to buy a ready-made costume piece in the appropriate store. However, if you wish, you can make it from cardboard by combining several sheets into a solid rectangle corresponding to the size of the head, and cutting a hole in it for the face. Additionally, it can be painted with patterns using paints.

As it turned out, you can make a knight costume for your beloved son with your own hands. Moreover, for this you will need a minimum amount of materials that can be found even at home. But there will be an excellent opportunity to create a strong and powerful image of the hero.

Weapon

A warrior without weapons is not a warrior. Therefore, you will have to rack your brains over your knight’s arsenal. The spear is dangerous and uncomfortable to carry. The ax doesn't look noble enough. Best sword

. True, it is difficult to make it by hand so that it looks attractive. It's better to use a store-bought one.

In children's toy stores you can find swords or even entire sets of weapons. But here I would like to make one caveat. You will come across sabers much more often than swords. The saber is suitable for a pirate. But the knight needs a sword. Like a musketeer, he needs a sword. In addition, almost all swords will be made in China and will not be suitable either. Swords in China are made exactly by Chinese people. With terrifying shapes, dragons, snakes, etc. on the handle and blade. Such a seemingly trifle can ruin the impression of a suit. Therefore, take the trouble to find a sword with a straight blade and a simple handle.

If this fails, then it is better to make your own not a sword, but a mace

. For the handle, we take a round wooden handle or a piece of plastic tube, 40-50 centimeters long. For example, from a broken mop. You need to attach a lanyard to one end to carry the mace on your hand. After all, it won’t work to put it behind a sash like a sword. Take any tape about 15 centimeters long. Its ends are folded and nailed with a decorative nail from the end of the stick.

A thickening is formed at the other end of the resulting handle. You can wrap many layers of wide tape or bandages. The entire mace is then wrapped in several layers of foil. Thin wire or tape is used to secure the foil.

What to make from old disks. Encryption machine.

If your kids want to play spy, or you want to teach them some cool spy stuff, you can start with a cipher machine so they can create secret messages.

1.

Using a marker and ruler, divide each disc into several divisions, depending on the number of letters you want to use (16 divisions in this example).

2.

Start writing a letter or number into each division.

3.

Prepare a case for discs, insert the large disc first, and then the mini disc.

4.

All that remains is to come up with a rule by which you want to encrypt messages. For example, you can create a message consisting only of numbers, and you know that the number 15 corresponds to the 5th letter (the number "16" corresponds to the 6th letter, the number "1" corresponds to the 7th letter, etc.) .

Crafts from disks (master class). Panel with shells.

- wool thread of the same or different colors

- glue (hot glue gun)

1.

Wrap the thread around the disk in a circle.

2.

You can fasten the ends of the thread with glue, after tying it in a knot.

* To make it easier to wind the thread, you can use several not very long pieces.

3.

All that remains is to glue the shells using a hot glue gun. If you don't have one, you can use superglue.

* You can tie a thread or ribbon to the reverse side to hang the craft on the wall.

What to make from disks. New Year's candlestick.

Old disks can also be used to make New Year's crafts, such as a candlestick.

- superglue (Moment glue)

- silver or glitter nail polish

1.

Glue the pine cones to the disk using superglue. At the same time, leave room for a candle.

2.

Cover the pine cones with varnish and let the varnish dry.

3.

You can glue rhinestones between the cones and leave them to dry.

4.

Now you can insert a candle into the middle of the composition.

Crafts from CDs. Spring Flower.

- wire cutters or scissors

- Dremel or electric drill

1.

Using a drill, make small holes in the disk - you should get about 8 holes.

2.

Thread the wire through the holes, securing it at the first hole and then threading it into the subsequent ones.

3.

Alternately, after each thread of the wire into the hole, string the beads. Add enough beads to cover the wire arch (see picture).

* If you don't have enough wire, buy more (from the office supply store) and simply insert it into the last hole and continue to “weave”.
