It is necessary
- - cap or panama;
- - dense fabric of gray and brown color;
- - light dense fabric;
- - a needle;
- - threads;
- - colored paper;
- - PVA glue.
Instructions
Step 1
Pick up clothes in a reddish-brown color scheme: a shirt, overalls or shorts, a vest and a tie will add solidity to the hedgehog. Complete the costume with a hedgehog-style spiked headdress.
Step 2
Get a hat or hat that fits well and doesn't fall off your child's head. Cut off the visor or margins from it. You can make the base of such a hat out of papier-mâché, but it will not be very comfortable for the baby.
Step 3
Choose fabrics in shades of gray and brown. It can be drape or cloth from an old coat, or corduroy and denim. Cut the fabric into fairly long strips, three to five centimeters wide. The length of the stripes may vary. Cut the finished strips across every 3-5 cm, not reaching the edge of 0.5 cm. Fold each part of the strip in the form of a triangle and iron it, sew the open edge.
Step 4
Sew the blanks by hand in a circle, starting from the bottom of the cap, shift the needles of each next row. Make several separate needles and sew them blindly at the crown. Cut out leaves, apples and mushrooms from colored paper and glue them with PVA glue to the needles.
Step 5
Make a hedgehog's face. Cut an equilateral triangle out of light fabric, fold in half, and sew on the long side. Turn the part right out. Fill the resulting little bag with filler: cotton wool or padding polyester. Sew on two round buttons in place of the eyes. Embroider the nose with black and the mouth with red. To prevent the hat from falling off your head during the holiday, sew on strings or a hat elastic.
Step 6
This suit is valuable because it is very convenient to put on and take off. It is enough to dress up the kid in his usual clothes and put a funny and beautiful hedgehog hat on his head. And pants and a shirt after the matinee can be worn in kindergarten.
