Children's costume bees with their own hands

New Year costume bees is a variant of "unisex" it will suit both the boy and the girl (if the boy refuses to be a bee, the same suit can always be given for a bumble suit). And to make a bee suit is quite simple, because it does not have to be sewn "from scratch".

As bases for a bee suit You can take a black dress, sarafan or combinationfrom a turtleneck and a lush skirt for a girl and a black turtleneck and the same color pants for a boy. You can make a suit based on overalls, but overalls are less convenient and practical.

All you need is sew to the top and bottom (or only to the top) of the black base horizontal yellow stripes. For bands, it is best to use a widesatin ribbon. You can do the opposite - to a yellow base for a suit to sew a black ribbon, but a black monophonic base is much easier to find than yellow. However, if you are sewing a suit "from scratch", it should not become a problem.

For complete similarity, you need to make wings and antennae. Wings, perhaps, are the most difficult part of the costume to make. To start with a thick wire, you need to make a skeleton for the wings. A piece of wire bend in the form of a drop and twisttogether the ends - the skeleton for one wing has turned out. You need to make four such drops, two more and two smaller, as all bees have two pairs of wings (two front and two rear ones).

Fold together one large and one small wing (the big one should be on top and the small one at the bottom). Thoroughly tie them together with a thick thread. Now the skeleton needs something to be tightened. It is easiest to use for this old kapron tights - black, white or bodily. Pull the panty hose on the wing frame, cut off the excess and tie it in the junction of the wings, do the same with the second wing.

In the same way, the second pair of wings is made, after which both pairs need to be interconnected: twist between the ends of the wire, cut off excess wire and carefully rewind the place of joining the wings with a thick thread.

In order to be able to attach the wings to the back, you will need to make strings. Take the black satin ribbon and cut it off.her two long pieces. Place one tape under the joint of the wings and tie it so that both ends of the tape are the same length. Do the same with the second tape.

The ends of the bands should be scorched with a cigarette lighter so that they do not fall off. When you put on your child's wings, just tie these ribbons in front (you can cross-tie ribbons on your chest, and you can tie each pair of ribbons on your shoulder: one on the right, the second on the left).

It remains only to straighten the wings. If desired, you can paint them with paint on the fabric or embroider with beads, paillettes, etc. Instead of kapron tights can be used forwings of tulle or any transparent artificial fabric that will not crumble, but it is much easier to fit the frame with pantyhose, besides, they are much more affordable and cheaper than the fabric.

The beard of a mustache will finish. They are quite easy to make - quite simplytake the bezel for the hair, attach the wire to it and wrap it tightly with threads or a narrow braid with lurex. Two small pompoms of yellow color can be attached to the tips of the wire.

Also you need not forget about black pantyhose or leggings for a girl and shoes black or yellow (and maybe you can even get striped "bee" shoes?). That's all, New Year's costume bees ready!
