The image of a bee falls in love not only with children, but also with adults. It is bright, inimitable, unique, but the most important thing is that it is not at all difficult to come up with and sew a bee costume on your own, and the effect from it will surpass all your expectations.
How to make a bee body
You can take an ordinary black dress as a basis. What style it will be is up to you, it doesn't matter. Now take a bright yellow fabric and cut out strips about two centimeters thick from it. Carefully sew the stripes on the dress, so that you get the dress with black and yellow stripes, like the body of a bee.
Instead of yellow fabric, you can sew lush yellow boas on the dress, or even better, black and yellow, alternating them so that the bee turns out to be evenly fluffy. Wear black, tight tights and yellow shoes or ballet flats under this suit. A headband with antennae on a spring will look good on the head.
You can take as a basis not a dress, but a black top or turtleneck, and also sheathe it with yellow stripes. For the resulting top, make a skirt from organza or black garbage bags. To do this, take a short mini-skirt and randomly wash pieces of material of various shapes and sizes on it to create a multi-layered, fluffy skirt with ragged edges. Complement such a suit with black and yellow leggings or tights.
And also, you can knit a bee costume from fluffy threads, such a costume will turn out to be fluffy and touching, but it will be hot in it, since it is warm.
How to make bee wings
Wings are an essential attribute of a bee costume. They can be made from different materials. For example, try twisting the frame of the wings out of strong, resilient wire, wrapping it in a translucent fabric, and decorating it with rhinestones, beads, and sequins.
You can make wings from ordinary black garbage bags. To do this, cut out the wing of a bee from the garbage bag, and attach it to the base of the suit in the area of the shoulder blades. It is better if the wings are wide and long, for example, up to the hip, then when you move, they will fly apart and rustle pleasantly. By the way, there is an option to attach the lower parts of the wing to your little fingers on your hands. When you raise your arms, the wings will continue to move with you. For the wings, you can also make a wire frame from garbage bags. In this case, they will not rustle, but they will look spectacular, thanks to their black gloss.
Make bee wings from cellophane bags. They are just so flying, transparent. Use a glue gun to glue many small bags together to form two wings. It is very important here that the glue is completely transparent and not visible. Do not try to straighten the bags before gluing them, even if they are crumpled and wrinkled. It will look very unusual and creative. By the way, for such a solution, it is also recommended to make a wire frame.
