A masquerade for a New Year's party for a child is the most exciting event of the year. Therefore, you need to prepare for it in advance and thoroughly. The main stage of preparation is the choice of a suit.
Costumes of animals and birds are very popular: bunnies, chanterelles, squirrels, owls. It is the process of creating an owl costume that we will consider.
Festive t-shirt owl outfit
To create an owl costume for a girl with your own hands you will need:
- T-shirt (preferably loose fit and elongated);
- trimming fabrics of various colors;
- thread or hot melt glue;
- scissors.
From scraps of fabric we cut feathers for an owl, of any shape you like. Then we sew or glue the feathers on the T-shirt in a checkerboard pattern. If the T-shirt turns out to be too short, then the lower feathers can be lengthened or sewn in several rows to simulate a skirt.
To add elegance, you can make several bows from satin or velvet ribbons. The bows can be attached to the sleeves or neckline. You can also add nylon ribbons or embroider some elements of the costume with lurex.
Owl cosplay costume universal
To make a suit that would suit both boys and girls, you will need the following materials:
- dense fabric;
- lining fabric;
- satin or velvet ribbon;
- small cuts of fabrics of different colors;
- threads.
We fold the main and lining fabrics and cut out a semicircle (you can either a full circle or ¾, depending on the required splendor of the outfit). The length of the semicircle should be equal to the length of the product, taking into account the folds and the neckline.
In the center we cut out a small semicircle so that the head passes comfortably. We grind the neck of the satin flight, and leave the ends of the ribbon free, they will serve as cloak ties.
We fold the material from below and sew it with piping or tape. On the sides we make slots for the hands and grind with tape. It is better to make the slots more spacious so as not to hinder the movements of the child.
Cut the fabrics into ribbons 5-10 cm wide. (If you wish, you can make smaller feathers) then cut the ribbons so that you get a kind of garland of feathers. We sew or glue the resulting blanks to the raincoat along the entire length, starting from the bottom edge. It is desirable that one strip slightly overlaps another, this will add volume and realism to the plumage.
If desired, you can add a hood to the raincoat. To do this, cut out a rectangle from the main and lining fabrics folded in two, sew it along one edge and grind it on the other. Sew the end sides to the raincoat. Then we embroider garlands of feathers on the hood, making sure that the feathers on the hood do not stick out in different directions and correspond to the plumage of the cloak.
Such an owl costume is equally well suited for a boy and for a girl. All that remains is to choose the right trousers and jacket. For girls, you can even wear a dress under a raincoat (preferably not a fluffy cut).
Essential attributes for an owl
Such little things as a beak and glasses will complement the image of an owl. As glasses, you can use old sunglasses, after removing the glasses from them, or make a mask in the form of glasses. For those who wear sunglasses, you can cut a small felt beak and glue it to the center of the sunglasses.
The mask can be cut out of cardboard, felt (it is better to use two colors) or printed on a printer. It should be noted that felt is more comfortable and more pleasant to the face than cardboard, and the paper mask wrinkles easily. You can fasten the mask with an elastic band or hairpins (for girls).
Other options for an owl costume and its details.
An owl costume can be made by both beginners and experienced seamstresses. The main thing is to follow the instructions and observe the proportions, and then everything will work out!

"> Let's start the pattern. To do this, cut 1.2 m from a piece of fabric and attach it to the rest of the fabric. Thus, the future hood will remain in one layer. Cut it out as shown in the picture. The white dotted line marks the line that needs to be sewn. Green is a place for the face. It is better to trim this edge with braid so that small threads do not crumble and do not fall into the eyes of the child. Do not forget to cut out the sleeves. They resemble a geometric figure - a diamond. There should be enough fabric for them. Now we make the torso. owl costume. "> The blue marks the hole where the sleeves are sewn. The yellow lines are where the sleeves are sewn.
If you run out of time or patience, leave the costume as it is. This will make your little one look like a hermit monk. If this option is not suitable, let's start decorating. To do this, wash mesh fabric on the front.
Sew the shreds on top of each other by hand. Move from bottom to top, then the seams will hide under the next layer. V from this, the owl's costume is already taking shape.
Now sew the shreds to the sleeves and stitch the blank to the suit. It is good if the patches are also in the colors of autumn, which will give the baby owl costume a one-piece and thoughtful look.
It remains to "revive" the owl costume. For this on stitch the hood on the eyes and beak, and if burlap remains, make small ears. It will look really cute.

Dress up as an owl on Halloween or any other children's party!
Despite the fact that the main goal of Halloween participants is to scare each other, we, nevertheless, will try to make our owl not frightening, but funny, because there is too much evil in our world.
Necessary materials:
- Different colors of felt fabric
- Ruler
- Bias tape or narrow tie ribbon
- Scissors
- Sewing machine
- Plate
Step 1
Let's start sewing the costume with the wings. Take the fabric that will lie on top. Place a plate on the linen to mark the opening for the neck.
Step 2
Now, using a ruler and chalk, draw 40cm straight lines down both sides of the opening. Then close these two lines in zigzags, creating serrated feathers on the owl's wings. In this case, it is not necessary to adhere to symmetry. When the wing template is ready, cut it out.
Step 3
In order to make the second wing (lower), take a ready-made template and lay it out on the second piece of felt fabric. Outline the template with chalk, keeping in mind that the bottom of the wings should be an order of magnitude longer. Therefore, focusing on the pattern, lengthen the side and zigzag lines. Then cut the wing out along the outline.
Step 4
Join the upper wing cutout with the lower wing cutout and sew along the neckline. Sew the strings on the back of the wings, on both sides of the neck opening. The wings are ready!
This is how they should look in finished form.
Step 5
Make the feathers on the owl's breast in the form of figurines resembling a cherry leaf, measuring 10x4 cm in two colors. Cut out the shapes from the fabric, and glue them to a regular T-shirt in about 5 rows, alternating color.
Step 6
Now we sew an "owl" headdress. Make a pattern of details on the fabric, as in the image. In this case, a children's garrison cap served as a template. But the size of the middle part had to be changed a little, expanding its front.
Step 7
Sew all three pieces together.
Step 8
Sew on the ties and turn the cap right-side up.
Step 9
The first step is to go to a fabric store together. Let the child choose the fabric he likes. It can be traditional brown or fancy pink, as long as your child likes it. At this age, how you look is very important. And for a child of 10 years old to feel comfortable, he must make the decision himself. You are only an assistant.
With a standard fabric width of 1.5 m, it is enough to buy by meter of fabric in 2 colors and about a meter of lining. Calculate based on your child's height. To sew an owl costume with your own hands, you will also need threads of the same color, a braid and an elastic band on which the mask and non-woven adhesive will be held.
Cut out semicircles from the same fabric of 2 colors and cut them into strips of 25 cm. Leave a 5 cm seam allowance. Cut the rest into halves of ovals. Now sew each such "garland" to the lining, alternating light and dark stripes. Finally, tape the neckline.
Now make owl costume mask do it yourself. To do this, cut out the outline of the mask from the fabric, the same blank from the lining and another one from the non-woven fabric. Fold the 3 pieces so that the non-woven is in the middle. Iron to activate the glue, and machine stitch around the edges. Now sew the light stripes around the eyes and attach the beak. Ready!
