Where to get ideas?
The inspiration itself will be the carrot itself. You can take a vegetable, consider it with your baby. By pulling the child into contact, the mother will be able to consolidate his knowledge about the taste and benefits of carrots.
You can read books together, watch cartoons, look through pictures.
You can also prepare delicious dishes, bake a carrot cake, so that the child probably understands that carrots are a real hero worthy to attend the New Year's party.
The idea of the preparatory phase is an interactive conversation about carrots and its benefits. Let the child describe the vegetable, what color it is, its shape, its components, and differences from other vegetables. And the main question is how he imagines a carrot costume.
I blinded him from what was ...
As a result, the child himself will say that for the carrot suit you need two primary colors: the orange bottom to make the rhizome, and the green tops.
Surely in the girl’s wardrobe there are things of this color: an orange dress, a sundress or a skirt and a green blouse, hat, scarf, scarf, bow. All this, including fantasy, can be used in the preparation of the costume.
Suit bottom
Sewing a carrot suit with your own hands is easy. You can find examples of work and even patterns for them, as well as instructions and tips for tailoring the model and tailoring the suit.
To prepare the bottom of the suit, that is, the rhizome itself, you can use any form. You can leave the existing outfit unchanged or sheathe it with a red, yellow or orange garland.
Foam rubber can serve as the basis for a volumetric suit. A cone-shaped bottom of the carrot is made from a piece of the desired size along the length and width.
On top you can put a stitched fabric or a fluffy skirt, a sundress or a full-length wrap. From below you can insert an elastic band and tighten a little. Or cut the fabric from the bottom on both sides with a wedge similar to a vegetable root.
Miracle Material Foam
Foam rubber is an excellent material for making the basis of a costume. An important step in the work becomes the correct cut of the material. It is important that the incision site is perfectly flat at the right angle.
Universal “Moment-1” adhesive is suitable for bonding. After spreading both sides, allow to dry for 5-7 minutes, and then gently press and twist so that the glue is evenly distributed and grasped. Everything needs to be done quickly and accurately.
Work on gluing foam must be done by an adult, so as not to harm the baby's health.
It remains only to cover the suit with a cloth.
Green tops
To make the carrot costume complete, you can use the finished thing in the girl’s wardrobe as greens or sew frill, scarf, bow from any fabric of the desired shade.
Tops can be placed on your head as a green hat, bow or hoop with visually similar leaves that can be prepared from any material: fabric, cardboard, green garlands.
Simplified Carrot Costume
Used clothing is available. Traditionally, the bottom is orange, the top is green. And on the head with the help of a hoop or a cardboard rim, a crown, place a drawing or application - an image of a carrot. You can also attach a carrot sewn from fabric to a green hat. Or on the chest and back, attach colorful pictures of the vegetable.
Option in basket
You can make a carrot suit in a basket of three main parts.
A brown skirt with a foam base and a harness-strap over the shoulder will resemble a basket. The carrot itself may be an orange blouse. Green top - hat, scarf or bow.
Turn upside down
And you can completely simplify the carrot costume with your own hands. A headdress will act as a rhizome. It can be a cone-shaped hat or a cap made of foam rubber, color cardboard or painted.
And the tops will be a green dress or a set of blouses and pants that will be decorated with green garlands or bows.
Carrot costume for the little ones
It has become fashionable to arrange photo shoots. Especially young mothers like to do it. You can imagine your long-awaited child in any way.
It’s easy to make a carrot costume for a girl with your own hands. It can be knitted with orange yarn or sewed from any fabric with a regular carrot envelope.
Use a hat with pompons as a tops.
What do we say to Santa Claus?
At the New Year's holiday, the baby will be able to adequately present his carrot costume. The photo will display the bright emotions of the child. The main thing is not to forget to capture.
For the presentation of the costume, you can come up with a funny fairy tale, a scene with other characters, for example, beets, cucumbers, green peas, or read a poem:
I was born a carrot
I got angry at the kids
They don’t want to eat me,
Everyone is looking at sweets.
And in me all the vitamins
Only from above they are not visible.
If you love me
You will be healthy and strong!
*
I grew beautiful
And for the New Year holiday
I came to the kids today
At the Christmas tree.
I want to tell you a secret
All of me live with me for at least a hundred years.
I will treat you with vitamins,
To grow you smart and strong.
The main rule for making a carrot costume is to withstand a combination of two colors: an orange rhizome and green tops. And what materials, sizes and proportions to use depends on the imagination.
And then at the New Year's matinee, Autumn festival or photo shoot, your beloved baby will be the most beautiful.
