The bandit costume with their own hands - how to sew stylish and beautiful costumes

Without a masquerade costume can not do without any matinee or other festive event, either in kindergarten or at school.

For several decades, an unchanged popularity among young boys use pirates - robbers of the seas. No less popular are the images of the noble robber Rodin Hood or the popular Jack Sparrow.

Boys, cartoon lovers, of course, fascinated by the cute trio of bandits from "The Musicians of Bremen", and the girls after watching the cartoon "The Snow Queen" would not mind trying on the image of a little robber.

So the costume of sea or land bandit very popular, as among kids, and among older teens.

The advantage of the costume

Probably one of the reasons for the popularity of the image of romantics from the high road is the ease of making appropriate clothing, as you can clearly see in the photos of the costumes of robbers, made with their own hands.

It will not be difficult to choose the appropriate color scheme - for a pirate, a combination of white and black with the addition of a couple of shades for clothing elements or accessories will be enough.

Manufacturing rules

Here are just no strict restrictions or canons. The only wish for those working on the image of the bandit is that the clothes should be old and shabby. Well, the "villain" cannot be distracted by such trifles as a new outfit and follow fashion trends!

An old sweater, with ragged sleeves, just a white shirt - already details of the future costume.

So, in the work all depends on your imagination and the materials you find in the closet.

Pirate .

For "plausible" clothes of a sea robber you need:

a vest with pockets;
Vest with pockets;
pants;
eye patch;
boots or high boots;
bandana;
brightly colored belt;
pistol;
saber.

Most likely, almost all of the above can be found among your old clothes. It may be necessary to sew pockets to the vest where it would be convenient to put the gun.

Any kind of pants will do - jeans, pants, loafers. For a greater effect, they should be "decorated" with colorful patches.

Tie a kerchief on the boy's head, "put" a bandage on the "knocked out" eye, and the costume of the "old" sea wolf is ready.

Wearing this costume, it's time to go boarding the merchant ship, whose holds are full of gold and precious stones!

Comic Trinity

It will not be difficult to "turn" your child into one of the characters from the cartoon "The Bremen Musicians". Here, first of all, everything depends on the constitution of your child. If he is full - dress up in a suit of Morgunova, tall - will Vitsin, and chunky - Nikulin.

No special materials to buy will not have. You'll just have to watch the cartoon again and remember which character was wearing what.

Jack Sparrow and Robin Hood

Create the image of a noble robber, the hero of English ballads is easy. Just add a bow and a quiver of arrows instead of a gun to the costume of an ordinary brigand.

Important! The quiver of arrows should be behind the back of the Sherwood Forest outlaw, and the hooded cloak should be over his clothes.

Recall the image of the famous movie pirate Jack Sparrow. Give your child a resemblance to him very easily. Need a mustache and goatee with two thin strands.

If there is no particular desire to make such attributes, you can just draw them with a marker or marker on the face of a child. A triangle hat or a bandana should be worn on the head. From under the hat must necessarily show long rows of plaits, and in the hands flaunt sword.

Nightingale Robber .

For the costume of the villain of Russian byliny will be required:

a white shirt;
old pants;
A dark vest;
a toy weapon;
an old scarf for the belt;
material for patches and bandana headbands;
metal buttons;
scissors and thread;
whistle.

To make the costume of the Nightingale Robber with your own hands will not be very difficult.

The process of making

Use scissors to cut both pant legs, giving them a shabby, old look, and apply patches.
Do the same with the sleeves of the shirt.
Tie a wide bright scarf - it will act as a sash.
Bandana should be decorated with iron buttons.
Give the boy a toy weapon and a bag of looted treasures.

The boy must practice whistling - the main trick of the Nightingale Robber. If you can not achieve the desired effect, you will have to use a small whistle.

Thieves of Fashion

Looking through movies about historical medieval events, you come to the conclusion that the robbers of that era sought a certain elegance in dress.

Unlike previous options, when the clothes were specially cut and aged, when making a costume with your own hands for a boy bandit, you should do the opposite - try to give the image the charm of the Victorian era.

Necessary elements of clothing

Inherent details of the costume of medieval robbers include:

Wide pants;
high boots;
A classic hat.

You should also take care of accessories such as a neck scarf, a vest with several pockets and a belt.

Make it look alike.

Achieve full identity with the medieval outlaw with a false beard and mustache. An elegant element would be to decorate the hat with a bright ribbon.

Perfect if you have an old wig with curly curls in your closet. A few centuries ago, they were worn not only by the nobility. In a pinch, you can make your own dreadlocks, so popular among young people today, and use them instead of the traditional medieval wigs.

Making fashionable braids is unlikely to cause difficulties. You just need to twist a few sheets of colored paper, giving them the shape of plaits, and then glue a dozen blanks on cardboard and place the entire structure under the hat.

Tearjerker Girl

If there's a girl growing up in the house, she's bound to want to show up at the party in a high road romantic costume. And for this outfit is unlikely to have to purchase any additional materials and decorations. Most likely, the necessities for the attire will be found in the closet:

a blouse;
a vest;
pants;
triangle;
gloves and belt;
toy pistol and saber.

After dressing the girl in the selected clothing, tying a belt, putting a hat, a triangle on her head and giving her "weapon", you can go with her to a festive event.

Another no less spectacular costume for the young storm of the seas is possible, which consists of:

camisole;
a blouse with wide sleeves;
a belt with a massive placket;
narrow pants;
boots or high boots.

The best part about all this is that you don't have to buy anything extra to equip your daughter for the holiday. All the necessary attributes to create the image of a girl pirate can be found at home.
