A fox costume with their own hands - interesting ideas, patterns and design options

How interesting, bright and emotional to watch the actors in the theater or to participate in a variety of children's or theatrical performances. The result of good memories and memorable images of course is the role of acting, but no less important role is played by the entourage, filling the stage, and of course - the costumes.

In this short review, we will consider the main options for creating a full-fledged theatrical image of the costume of Alice the Fox and Basilio the Cat with their own hands.

The technique of making

If you are an experienced needleworker, then you won't have much trouble figuring out the format of a costume for a theatrical performance. Alternatively, the technique of making a costume can be divided into two types.

Making a costume from scratch
Making a costume on the basis of already existing items.

To begin with, let's consider the basic provisions in decorating and creating a fox costume for a girl of her own "production".

Making the fox costume

What may be needed and what is important to pay attention to in this matter, now consider in more detail and in detail.

To begin with we need to decide whether it will be a solid model on the similarity of the costume with a zipper, or it will be separate elements of clothing. And in the first and second option to produce a lot of time, however, with patterns and ready-made templates, this will be much easier. You just need to adjust the working model to your parameters and make the product on the template.

Let's start with a ready-made costume. When the costume is ready in all its glory, you should pay special attention to the fox's puffy tail, as well as the ability to control it. As an option, for this, you can use one tiphook in the movement of the tail.

To do this, it is necessary to put a meter of transparent fishing line on a ring from a bottle and stitch its tip to the tip of the tail of the fox. As you have already understood, the ring is inconspicuously put on the hand, and when you need to "theatrically" raise the tail, you just lift your hand and the tail will pull up. It looks quite interesting and will allow the fox character to operate with the "mood" of the tail at any time and during the replicas.

When it comes to the individual elements of clothing, we should take into account that for sewing a blouse, skirt, vest and the tail itself takes a lot of time and materials. All patterns are publicly available and you only need to adjust the size for your child, however, no one forbids to be creative, and now we will talk more about it.

Decorating

In terms of needlework, the words decorating and creativity are actually synonymous. To decorate a fox costume is not so difficult, as well as to show originality to the image of Basilio the cat. It is enough to remember everyone's favorite movie "Golden Key", which will make the fox costume with your own hands more original and memorable.

The first thing that catches the eye in the image is the bright red colors and fur. You can make an imitation of a fluffy fox tail with faux fur, threads or wool, which will allow the image to acquire the very thing for which everyone loves the fox.

The ability to wag the tail can be taken from the previous idea of using an "invisible" ring.

What is needed in terms of materials and tools:

Red and white fabric.
Scissors.
Pencil.
A tape measure.
Buttons and other elements of decoration.

In terms of making a fox costume for a girl with her own hands, you should consider not only the image of the hero, but also the manner of presenting the tale. As a rule, fairy tales are divided into two types: Classical and in a new way. In the classic format, we see the standard fox from all the familiar fairy tales.

When presenting the image in a new way, it is always possible to make a few omissions of the original image. Usually, such elements act as additions or basics of the image.

That is, if in the usual image we imagine a fox in a blouse, with a beautiful vest and ponytail, then in the format of a fairy tale in a new way you can make a fox in jeans, where behind it will be a tail or it will have a collar of fur.

Creating the image

As the basis of the image, choose what you feel more comfortable working with. As we have already mentioned, sometimes there is just no time for quality sewing a costume. Then in this case you can use the original clothing, blouse, skirt and make elements of a decorative patch or a full patch of orange fabric on it.

Comfort and comfort

Be sure not to forget about wearing comfort. Beauty is beauty, but practicality and ability to move freely in the costume are not unimportant for small children.

Adding decoration

In addition to the image of the fox, you can use the pattern of a red sundress or a fox mask. Max, by the way, is simple enough to make from a template, which is simply cut out of cardboard, covered with paint and varnish. For convenience, you can wear a mask through an elastic band.

The entourage of the character

A hoop made of chanterelle ears will be a great addition to any image. To make it, we will need an ordinary hair hoop, ginger-colored fabric, hairpins, thread and needles.

To make such a hoop is quite simple. On the fabric we cut out the shape of the ears and fold them. Then try on the hat and mark the position of ears on the headband with a hairpin. Carefully take off the product and sew the ears on the headband. That is all! As an alternative to the headband you can use an elastic band or hairpins, which will be sewn on the ears.

Tail made of tulle

Tulle tulle, a fairly inexpensive and interesting material that needleworkers often use in their creations. You can use a bundle of tulle and dye it red. The tip remains originally white. The design is now sewn together and allowed to dry completely before use.

Glove paws.

In addition to the image of the chanterelle, you can always use an original and interesting patch on the gloves. For this purpose, thin fabric gloves that breathe and allow you to sew on the desired elements are excellent. You can add paw pads, claws, or just make an original ginger glove under the paw.

Face painting

Let's not forget the possibilities of makeup and of course face paints. With this entourage decor, you can paint your face, draw a spout, mustache and just add a red themed color.

As you can see, you can approach creating an image in many different ways, from creating a full-fledged costume, to altering ready-made items and painting your face as a fox's muzzle. There are no limits here, and for the comfort and convenience of choice, we give you a large assortment of photo ideas for all tastes and colors.

Note that thanks to the wide variety, you can create unique images simply by alternating between entourage items.
