Holidays are a part of human life. If there are no holidays, then there will be no everyday life, existence will become bleak and dreary. One of the funniest holidays is the carnival, and it is customary to wear fancy dress at the carnival. Of course, you can buy a suit, but it's much more fun to make it yourself.
It is necessary
Cloth, vampire fangs, cardboard, thick wire, sewing machine, chalk, lipstick
Instructions
Step 1
Before getting down to business, you need to choose an image for yourself. It is not as easy as it seems, because the outfit should correspond to your inner "I", to express your essence. A girl with an unpredictable character will look great in a Peppy - Long Stocking costume, but an office conservative shouldn't even try on the role of a knight or a hobbit. The clothes of an English gentleman with a black mask are much more suitable for such a person.
Step 2
When you come up with a costume for a masquerade, show not only courage, but also caution. Your image should be fun, but not funny or silly. If you cannot cope with the task on your own, ask your friends for help. In order to choose a suit that suits you, go shopping, try on the outfits offered in them - then make yourself the same one, complementing it in accordance with your ideas.
Step 3
The suit must be appropriate for your age and appearance. If you are well over fifty, then the Tinker Bell costume is clearly not suitable for you. The image of the fairy godmother or, if we take the same cartoon as the basis, the fairy Mary will be more appropriate here. Well, the young handsome man is clearly not going to dress up with Kashchei Bessertny.
Step 4
When creating a fancy dress, you can use expensive materials, make patterns, sew a stunning dress or costume. And you can do with the materials at hand, even more so if you do not know which side to approach the sewing machine.
Step 5
The most budgetary carnival costume is the image of Ostap Bender. Ask friends or buy a white cap, attach a cockade to it, you can even use a cardboard one. Find a light scarf and striped jacket in the closet. Yes, and do not forget to get used to the role of a sassy and charming hero.
Step 6
For the costume of Count Dracula, you will have to buy fangs in a children's trick store. And the black suit is sure to be in the closet. It remains to add to this splendor a red plush or silk tablecloth (cape, sheet, bedspread, just a piece of cloth) and a top hat. Powder your face with chalk and paint your lips with bright red lipstick. Look in the mirror - why not a vampire? It is even easier for women to make the image of a vampire: find a long white summer dress (a nightgown is also suitable if it is not transparent); throw a chiffon or organza scarf over your shoulders; buy vampire fangs and get matching makeup. Or you can create the image of a vampire, as in the movie "Underworld" - a leather jacket, leather trousers, high-heeled boots. But the fangs and makeup will remain the same. However, it's up to you to choose.
Step 7
If you want a winged look, then use thick wire to create the frame of the wings. Cover the frame with a cloth. The material and color of the fabric will depend on the image you choose. For an angel costume - white chiffon or velvet in several layers. For the demon costume, use red or black satin or silk. Fairy wings are best made from pastel-colored iridescent organza.
Step 8
And don't forget about the most important attribute of a carnival costume - the mask. It must match the chosen image. Decorate it with feathers or rhinestones, cover it with silk, paint with bright colors. It all depends on your imagination and your mood.
