The rabbit costume is popular among both children and adults. At matinees or parties, girls of all ages put on their ears and pin tails to their skirts or shorts. But how to make something more original? Look for the answer in the article.
Suit for boy
Not only girls need to dress with rabbits. Sometimes for a matinee in a kindergarten you need to dress your son. There is nothing complicated in this. You will need a white T-shirt, shorts, tights or socks. The costume can be decorated with a carrot pattern.
To do this, you need to cut the silhouette of the vegetable from felt. From any green fabric, you can make grass for an orange vegetable. Sew the application of carrots on a T-shirt. A fur pompom should be attached to the shorts. If this was not found in the house, you can build a ball from improvised materials. We cut out a circle from white fabric, sew it around the edges, stuff it with padding polyester and tighten it. The tail is ready.
The hardest part in a costume is to make a mask. If you can buy it or rent it, use this option. If not, you can make the mask yourself. The beauty of a baby rabbit costume will depend on it. You need to find or tie an ordinary white hat. From felt or any other white fabric, cut out the ears. So that they keep their shape, we insert cardboard or wire between two stitched parts. Sew ears to the hat.
It remains to make eyes and nose. You can buy plastic blanks, which are sold in the needlework store, or you can make them yourself from blue and black fabrics and stick them on a hat.
Schoolgirl costume
Morning parties are held not only in kindergarten. A rabbit costume may be needed by a schoolgirl. Indeed, at open lessons or concerts, a performance according to the scenario “Alice in Wonderland” is often played.
How to make a rabbit costume for a girl? You need to dress your daughter in a white dress and, as a bright accent, throw a red sweater over your shoulders and find tights to match. To make the image more visible, you can tie a bow of bright color on the neck. As an accessory, we select a round bag. You can draw a dial on it. If you want to make the watch more unique, then you should sew felt ears to the bag. A headdress will be required for the girl herself. Therefore, you need to buy or make a rim with attached ears. To complete the image, we cover the face with face painting.
Bunny in a pack
If you need to dress a girl for a matinee, and there is only one evening at your disposal, do not despair. A rabbit costume can be made from improvised materials.
As a basis, you can use a gymnastic leotard, and put on a white tutu on top. A fur pompom must be sewn to the back of the skirt. Rabbit ears will crown the girl’s head, and on his face you can draw a mustache, nose and funny face.
We are preparing a suit for kindergarten
If there is enough time to collect a daughter for a matinee, then you can carefully consider the image for the child. The basis of the costume of the white rabbit will lie on a T-shirt and skirt. The main thing is that these things are not made of light fabric. It is desirable that they be sewn from something solid, well-kept in shape.
A tail must be sewn to the back of the skirt. It can be made of fur pompom or woolen threads. Sew the tail and proceed to the manufacture of the cape.
It can be made from jacquard, drape or fleece. Cut a semicircle and tuck the upper part onto a rope. It will be a cloak. Of course, you can do without this part of the costume, but with it the image will look more complete.
Now you need to make a hat and ears. The shape of the headgear can be any, but it is desirable that it is well fixed on the head and does not fall during movement. Ears will be made single-layer, from foamiran.
Cut two ovals and sew them to the hat. From the pink foamiran, we cut out the inside of the ears and sew them in the center of the large white details. From a white cloth we cut out a circle and divide it into two parts. Glue semicircles on the front of the cap, it will be the muzzle of a rabbit. And we make the nose in the form of a drop of pink fabric.
Original costume
If parents are not deprived of an artistic gift, then they can draw a magnificent mask for their child. She will be the main focus of the New Year's rabbit costume. Making it is quite simple from an ordinary Whatman paper.
We take a leaf and draw on it two identical contours of the head of a rabbit. Without cutting them, color with gouache. Why not watercolor? Because the more water is added to the paint, the more the sheet will deform. When the drawing is ready, cut out two parts of the head of the rabbit. On the front we fasten the paper with glue on the nose, and on the back we thread the gum. We got a very original hat in the shape of a rabbit's head.
You can complement the image with a black or white dress. And you can choose a vintage version with a decor of lace.
Party costume
Thanks to Playboy, the image of the bunny has become the most popular among girls. How to make a rabbit costume so that it looks sexy, not childish? Here a lot depends on the presentation of the image of the girl herself. After all, not all the fair sex will be able to proudly wear such a sexy outfit.
As a basis, you can take a body, preferably lace. If this is not the case, then it is quite possible to get along with a regular one-piece swimsuit, under which a lace blouse should be worn. To make the costume look brighter, you should create it in black, not white.
When the base is ready, proceed to the small details. The tail must be created from a pompom. You can use fur or made of thread. You need to attach it in the coccyx. If you sew a pompom below, it will be impossible to sit down.
The main emphasis, of course, is on the ears. Today it is fashionable to make them from lace. In this version, the ears look more playful and interesting. From the cut of the lace we cut four long ovals. We sew two halves, turn them out and insert a wire frame inside each ear. Attach the ears to the rim with the same wire.
If desired, you can add mystery to the image by attaching an invisible veil to your hair. Makeup should match the costume, that is, be bright. Black or bright red lipstick, black eyeliner and false eyelashes should be preferred.
