Holidays and carnivals in kindergarten or school - this is not only a joyful and fun event for children, but also a headache for adults who do not know how and where to get the right costume or mask for the child.

Of course, constantly buying or renting a suit is quite an expensive pleasure, so you should think about making it yourself. Don’t rush to give up, even if you are far from needlework and sewing. A creative approach to business and imagination will help you bring any bold idea to life.

A popular costume is a pig or pig.







Deciding on a character and thinking through the image

What comes to your mind first? Pink, a snout nose, funny triangular ears or a donut tail? All these are integral components of the image of a pig, which means that, to one degree or another, they should be reflected in his costume or accessories.

You can make any pig costume you like: perhaps it will be the perky and cheerful Funtik, or the cute and charming Piglet (either from the Disney version of the cartoon, or from the Soviet one), or one of the three pig brothers from a famous fairy tale, or a funny and resourceful pig Peppa, or the capricious beauty and imaginary Nyusha from Smeshariki. As you can see, there are a lot of options to choose from.

It is necessary to select a character based on the child’s personal preferences (maybe there is a favorite cartoon or fairy tale hero pig), and also take into account its age. For example, if your baby is still very tiny, then there is no need to make bulky costumes or think about numerous details, because most likely you need the outfit more than the child.

For infants or children who are not yet walking, you can make a funny pink jumpsuit with a hood in the shape of a pig’s face, and if you are familiar with knitting, you can knit panties and a hat with ears for his head.

Much greater scope for creativity opens up when creating costumes for older children.

Several ideas and options

A child's holiday outfit can be the simplest. Perhaps you will simply designate the image of a pig with a headdress or mask, and the role of a costume will be played by ordinary clothes, skillfully selected and suitable for this character.


For example, if you dress a boy in a beige or light pink shirt/turtleneck with a bright vest and short pants or bloomers with straps/suspenders, then you will get one of three brother pigs. You can complete the look with a mask, which is very easy to make.

  1. The pig mask can be made of paper. Then all you have to do is find beautiful template mask and print it out, then cut out holes for the eyes, color and attach an elastic band. If you don’t want to paint, you can print a color template right away, and to make the mask stronger, glue it to a thick base or cardboard. If desired, decorate the mask with glitter or other decor.
  2. The pig mask or headdress is also made from other materials. You can make it in the same way as a paper one, only from felt, sew it from fabric (taking any hat as a basis), make it from foam rubber or papier-mâché, etc. Face painting would also be appropriate for the holiday.

If you know how to sew, you can use patterns and completely sew a suit. This can be either a one-piece jumpsuit or pants with suspenders or a skirt (for girls), described in the first option, but already made specifically for this look.

Select materials that are light and voluminous so that they hold their shape well and look beautiful, for example, thermal velour, fleece, organza or taffeta. It will work out very well if you duplicate the material with padding polyester. Be sure to attach a ponytail to the costume (you can twist it from wire and cover it with fabric), and the legs can have pink socks or knee socks.

If there is a costume competition or important performance coming up, you can do some original or interesting costume, for example, the costume of Peppa Pig or Nyusha the Smesharik. By the way, such costumes will be available even for adult animators. Peppa may be wearing a pink dress or sundress, but she will have to tinker with the headdress. Try cutting it out of foam rubber and painting it or making it out of felt.

For Nyusha’s costume, you will need to sew a “round dress” (cut it like a sundress or a dress with a yoke, but add a tulle lining down and gather tightly to make a ball). Decorate the dress with applique or other decor. You can put a pink headband with ears and a pigtail on your head, or you can make a full-fledged Nyusha headdress (more suitable for animators or for creating life-size puppets).

Let the image of a piglet, created with your own hands, be the brightest and most beautiful at the upcoming holiday!

The symbol of the coming 2019 is a yellow pig. In this article we will look at some simple step-by-step master classes on how to make a pig with your own hands.

We will show in detail how you can make your own from materials that can easily be found in every home, such DIY crafts for the year of the pig as a piggy bank, we will make piglets from dough, we will make simple crafts for kindergarten, we will learn how to sew a pig from children's tights and socks, we will make a pig-ball from threads, we will make a coffee toy, and we will also learn how to sew a tilde pig from fabric. And at the end of the article you will find a video bonus: making a pig from pompoms as a gift for the New Year. So, if you're ready, let's get started!

To make a funny papier-mâché piggy bank we will use toilet paper or newspapers, acrylic putty, acrylic paints, PVA glue, inflatable ball, foil, foil reel.


First of all, you need to inflate the balloon. Then we apply prepared scraps of newspaper soaked in PVA glue and water onto the inflated ball in several layers - so that our piggy bank is not soft, but strong enough, and let it dry.


In a plastic bucket we will prepare the papier-mâché mixture: tear toilet paper or napkins into small pieces and add PVA glue. Mix everything properly! We coat the future pig with the resulting “chewed paper”.


When the papier-mâché frame dries well, the ball must be carefully burst and pulled out. Now we need to close the hole through which we pulled the ball out: to do this, we will seal it crosswise with masking tape and apply papier-mâché, leaving a small rectangular hole - this will be a slot where money is thrown.

We divide the foil reel into four equal parts - it will serve as legs for our pig. Glue the legs to the pig with masking tape. Then we apply papier-mâché. The inside of the legs must be filled with something heavy - this will make our pig more stable. Sand or some small metal object, such as a nut or screws, will do.


We make a snout for the pig from foil, under it you need to form a mouth (upper and lower lip).


Now we need to sculpt eyes and ears for our pig - they can be made either from the remains of papier-mâché or sculpted from clay.


The flexible wire will serve as a tail for the pig: twist it, covering the tail with the remains of papier-mâché. After our pig has completely dried, it must be properly treated several times with acrylic putty and then wiped with a cloth dampened in water - this will level the barrel of the pig.


Our piggy is ready for painting!


First you need to apply dark paint, you can use several different shades. Then red paint is applied to the craft with a sponge.


Then - pink, and as the final stage - pink and white paints are applied. The last step is to apply white paint to the protruding surfaces. Our piggy bank is ready!



We offer you another piggy bank option, step by step execution which you can watch in the video:

Pig pendants made from salt dough

As a wonderful souvenir gift, you can also make a pig pendant at home from materials that can be found in every home - flour and salt. It is very easy to make such a pig, it turns out very cool and is suitable as a mascot that any child will be happy with, or as a craft for kindergarten. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to make such a souvenir.

Simple DIY crafts for kindergarten

A product that can easily be made is a paper craft, a suit for children's party– a pig mask and ears, as well as a pig in a pen. Let's take a step-by-step look at how easy it is to make these crafts yourself.

Paper craft

To make such a toy paper souvenir, we will need: a pencil and a black marker, a ruler, colored paper– pink or red, as well as silver, stapler and glue, pre-prepared plastic eyes, ribbon for decoration.


The body of our pig should be voluminous; For this we will need colored paper - pink or red. We cut out an even rectangle from paper, connect the edges with glue or a stapler so that we get the base body for our craft - a tall and wide tube.


Next, we make the basis for the pig’s face: we take paper of two different colors, from one we cut out a larger circle - the head of our little pig, and two small triangles-ears, from the second - a smaller oval-patch. You can take the eyes for the pig prepared in advance - plastic ones, or you can cut them out yourself from other colored paper.


Now we need to connect all the parts we cut out: bend them and glue the ears and snout in sequence to the head. On the patch we will add nostrils and a smiling mouth underneath. We draw eyelashes on the eyes.


Now you need to cut out the remaining details from multi-colored paper - for the pig’s belly we’ll take a silver color, and red for the front legs and tail. We glue the prepared parts: we glue the long legs on the sides of the pig's body, the tail - to the back of the craft, the tummy - in the front.


We tie a thin ribbon around the pig's neck and tie a smart bow. Our pig is ready!


The finished paper pig craft can be presented as a New Year's present, and it will also look good on a decorated Christmas tree as a toy.

You can also make the following craft from cardboard:


Costume: mask and pig ears

It is very easy to prepare such a costume for a children's party yourself, since it does not require sewing and its production will take only a few minutes.


For a costume consisting of a pig's snout, ears and tail, we will need:

  • felt or fleece in pink and white colors,
  • scissors,
  • glue,
  • stapler,
  • paper cup,
  • elastic pink ribbon,
  • thin elastic band,
  • white thin plastic hair hoop.

First we make the ponytail: cut a piece of felt fabric - it should be a little longer and wider than a piece of wire. We put the wire inside a rectangular piece of fabric, wrap it and carefully glue the fabric.


Then we take an elastic band, fold it like a belt, attach the tail we prepared in the middle and fasten it with a stapler or glue. Curl the tail like a pig. One piece of the costume is ready!


Now let's start making the patch. To do this, take a cardboard cup of small diameter, apply a piece of pink felt to it, trace and cut out the resulting circle - this will be our patch. Cut off the top of the glass so that the height of the glass is one and a half to two centimeters.


We cut a rectangular strip of the same width from the felt so that we can wrap our cup. Now we glue our cut out parts to the cup: a circle to the bottom, a rectangular strip along the entire cup. It turns out to be a cute pink patch!

We cut out two small oval parts from white felt - nostrils. Glue it onto the patch exactly in the middle.


We make two small holes on the sides of the cup into which we insert a thin elastic band. We tie an elastic band inside the cup-patch on each side into a large knot. We try our nose on our head; it should hold tightly enough so that it does not fall off, but also does not press too much. Our nose for the pig costume is ready!

Let's start making ears. To do this, we need to cut two large pieces in the shape of pig ears from the pink felt. Then we take our hairband, gather our ear, clamp it and wrap it around the headband, secure it well with glue.



Our costume for the holiday is ready!

Pig in the pen


To make such a textile craft we will need:

  • empty plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters,
  • plastic eyes,
  • 4 plastic lids,
  • a piece of light felt or felt material,
  • a small piece of flexible wire
  • a piece of padding polyester,
  • nylon white stocking,
  • colorful paper,
  • several wooden skewers,
  • skein of twine,
  • shoe cardboard box lid,
  • gouache red and white,
  • colorless varnish,
  • hot glue,
  • a few pebbles, acorns and twigs.

First, let's prepare a pen for the pig: turn the box upside down, glue the required number of wooden skewers around the entire perimeter.

We cover the inside of the box with green paper and weave a fence using twine around the glued skewers. We put acorns and pebbles in the pen, put a plastic jar - a feeder for our pig, and arrange tree branches. Our pen is ready!


Now let's make a pig from plastic bottle: cut the bottle into several parts - bottom, middle and neck. Connect the neck to the bottom and glue it using hot glue.


Using scissors, carefully cut out the mouth under the neck of the bottle. We cover the bottle with padding polyester and also make a mouth hole using scissors.


We tighten the stocking around the body of our workpiece, cut out a hole-mouth and secure it with hot glue.


Our stocking knot on the neck of the bottle must be closed with a snout: to do this, cut out a circle from white cardboard, cover it with nylon, tie it with thread - our snout is ready.


The knot on the bottom of the bottle must also be closed with a wire tail, which we first cover in the area of ​​the butt with nylon.


Cut out the pig's ears from light felt and glue them to the head.


We prepare the legs: take plastic plugs, cover them with padding polyester and nylon, tighten them with thread, secure them and glue them to the pig’s body with glue.


Prepare gouache: mix red and white colors so that it turns out pink. We paint our pig evenly. Apply clear varnish on top. After the craft has dried, glue on the pig’s eyes and nostrils. Our piggy craft in the pen is ready!


We sew a pig from children's tights

Making such a souvenir will not take much time; for this you will need synthetic padding, children's tights or socks and a little imagination. The piggy craft is easy to complete by following the step-by-step instructions below. Are you ready? Then let's get started!

Socks also make good piglets:


Pig ball made of threads


To make such original crafts we will need the following materials:

  • pink threads/yarn,
  • colored paper,
  • scissors,
  • round or oval inflatable ball,
  • PVA glue,
  • plastic cup,
  • needle.

First we need to prepare the base - the body of the pig: for this we will take a balloon and inflate it to the size we need. Now we pierce the plastic cup through with a needle: the resulting holes should go near the very bottom of our cup. We will pour PVA glue into it, and we will pull the thread through the holes so that it passes through the glue poured into the cup.


We wrap our inflated ball in a chaotic manner with a thread dipped in glue to create as many weaves as possible. The larger the layer of wound thread, the stronger the craft will be. You can stop gluing the ball when it is almost hidden under a layer of thread.

It is necessary to remember that the glue takes a long time to dry, about a day, so such a craft must be prepared in advance before the holiday.

After the glue has completely dried, you need to pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it from the craft.

The legs of a piglet are made in the same way: a sausage ball is inflated, wrapped with thread, then after the glue has dried, the ball must be carefully burst and removed from the legs.


Now you need to glue the legs to the body; While the glue dries, we can start making the pig’s face. To do this, on colored paper we first need to draw all the necessary details - a snout, eyes and ears, then cut them out and glue them onto the pig’s body.


Then you need to stretch a long thread and secure it with a loop knot - it will come in handy if we want to hang our craft on the Christmas tree.

Coffee toy

A New Year's piggy souvenir in the form of a coffee toy is also easy to make, its design is quite simple, but it will have an exquisite aroma of coffee, vanilla or cinnamon and will give its new owner only positive emotions. Let's start creating a coffee toy!

The technique for making such a souvenir is quite simple, and to make naf-naf we will need: light calico, light threads, stuffing material - padding polyester or foam rubber, vanillin or vanilla sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, cinnamon, scissors, PVA glue, needle, old toothbrush, gel pen, small container for diluting fragrance, brushes, acrylic paints.

First, you need to prepare and cut out a template - you can attach tracing paper or thin paper to the monitor screen and trace the outline of the toy from the photo.

The toy can also be cut out to any size; to do this, just click on the picture and its size will increase. It is also advisable to transfer the cut out pattern to thin cardboard - it is more practical and convenient.

Now we will need our pen - we will use it to trace the resulting pattern; This should be done on fabric that is folded in half; if you plan to sew more than one toy, then you need to leave a space on the fabric between the patterns for a seam allowance of about 0.5 cm, while the seam itself is best done not along the drawn line itself, but nearby: the mark from the handle will not be noticeable if the fabric gets wet.


It is necessary to sew two layers of fabric along the line at the same time; the seam begins and ends between the hind limbs of our craft, leaving about 2 centimeters unsewn - this hole is necessary to make it more convenient to stuff the pig. Also, you can’t cut the seam threads so that it doesn’t come apart when we turn and stuff our pig.


We also cut out triangular teeth at the seam allowances, leaving a distance to the seam itself of about 0.2 cm - this will allow the seam on the toy to remain smooth and not bulge in different directions.


Now we turn it inside out and stuff the stitched pig; For particularly narrow spaces, the ends of folded scissors are suitable. We fill the toy with padding polyester using the unsewn holes: the more padding polyester there is inside, the more “plump” and “pot-bellied” our pig will be. It is necessary to carefully sew up the holes through which we stuffed our pig and thread it - this will help us easily hang our pig to dry.


Now let’s prepare the flavoring for our craft: dilute 40 ml of boiling water in a prepared container and add a teaspoon of coffee. Then the remaining ingredients - vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa - add about a quarter of a teaspoon to the resulting mixture.

Stir everything thoroughly and cool. Then you need to add about half a teaspoon of PVA glue to the mixture and mix thoroughly.

Apply the resulting composition to our pig with a toothbrush so that the fabric is stained and not completely saturated.


Now we need to dry our toy; To do this, hang it on a rack in the oven, turned on at low heat, for a quarter of an hour.
If, after drying, there are still wet spots on the toy, you need to turn off the oven and dry our workpiece in this way.

After complete drying, the fabric soaked in the coffee adhesive solution will become rigid, and any funny design can easily be applied to it.

Let's start painting - first with a simple pencil to outline the details, and then with acrylic paints. After the paints have dried, you can attach a loop or magnet to the coffee toy - then it can be hung on christmas tree or on the refrigerator.


It is advisable to avoid getting the toy wet. Our wonderful DIY coffee pig is ready!



Sew a tilde pig


In order to make such a wonderful souvenir, we will need a printout of the pattern, cut out and transferred to the selected material. The best material for such a toy is natural, plain light fabric, such as linen, cotton, calico, poplin. You can take materials that are left over from old clothes or a new piece of fabric.

The pattern itself consists of several parts - the pig's body, ears and legs.

The fabric must be folded in half, the pattern pieces placed on top and traced; Don't forget to leave 0.5 cm on the seams. Now we cut out the resulting parts and sew them together as shown in mk.


Be sure to leave holes for filling the craft with stuffing and in order to sew on the pig's tail. Next, we need to sew the resulting parts and turn them inside out. We fill the craft with filler, for example, padding polyester, holofiber, padding polyester; You can also put a flavor sachet into the pig.

It is necessary to sew the legs and ears to the body of the pig using a hidden seam. We decorate the muzzle: you can glue plastic eyes, sew on beads, embroider with threads or paint, nostrils can be drawn or embroidered with floss; You can paint a blush on the pig’s cheeks, so it will become more elegant.


In order to make the last detail of our pig doll - the perky tail - we will need to cut out a rectangular piece of fabric suitable in size and sew a piece of flexible wire into it.












Video bonus: pompom pig

This video presents a master class that step by step reveals the process of making a pig from homemade pompoms.

All presented in the article step by step instructions Making homemade souvenir toys of a pig - a symbol of the coming 2019 - is very simple; their repetition requires simple materials that can be found in every home. With a little patience, skill and care, you can make any of these toys yourself.

Hello, comrades!

At the request of readers, I am writing an article “How to make a boar mask.” Making masks of all kinds of exotic animals is my hobby. I made a boar mask one evening just to prove to myself that I can do this (and for fun). Well, she boasted about the photo on the site and suggested: if anyone is interested, ask, and I’ll tell you how to do it. After which I conveniently forgot. And now - it turns out that the boar is in demand!

I welcome everyone who wants to “reincarnate” into Mr. Hro-Hro.

So how to make a boar mask? The first one I made from wrapping paper. To be honest, we need to check how this model will perform in a cardboard version. By the way, which cardboard should I choose? I have a set of black-yellow-blue... hmm, no brown! I made an agreement with myself: I’ll take white, the reverse non-dress side is kind of grayish, let’s see how this grayness will look as a boar color.

I took out the old boar mask, glued it down, laid out the parts on A3 cardboard, traced it, and cut it out.

I bend my nose, even crush it. This is where you need to show dexterity and resourcefulness: the cardboard needs to be bent both along the nose and across, so that the long snout becomes slightly, slightly folded and not flat, but like a rounded gable roof. In general, first it’s better to practice bending just a large piece of cardboard.

The darts on the forehead had to be lengthened - cardboard is stiffer than paper. It was also not necessary to seal it, but. I note that the edges of the darts should be inclined towards the midline of the muzzle - this visually narrows the animal’s forehead. If this were a human mask, the darts would be glued in reverse to make the forehead appear wider.

I cut the outer edges of the ears with fringe and ruffle them. I bend the inner edges and connect them at the base with a stapler - the ears have acquired some volume.

I take a “pad” nose - the one that should well and comfortably disguise the actor’s nose (this was used in ), I bend it and try it on myself. Fine. I glue it under the boar's nose with a heat gun. I try it on again and, bending and pressing directly on my face, I give this lining nose the correct shape. Sitting?

On the inside of the boar's nose, I apply two large drops of glue to the folds on both sides and glue it to the lower nose. Now the upper nose does not dangle arbitrarily, but it does not lie exactly on the lower one, there is a gap between them so that you can further bend and “shape” the outer nose. I glue the ears and bend them forward strongly. I glue the patch.

All , The boar mask is ready. Oh, I forgot my fangs! I cut out the tusks from whatman paper so that both sides were white (actually it should be yellow, but... the color didn’t work out very well - the boar ended up being an albino).

Nevertheless, if such a beast appears and says “Hro-hro”, respect and respect for him are guaranteed.

They can't do without children's costumes. A pig costume is easy to make. We will consider all stages of working on it in our material.

Deciding on a pattern

Shirt, pants, hat - these are the three main parts of the future outfit. We will need patterns for these parts first of all. The piglet costume is quite curvy, which means it would be better to go one size larger.

The sleeve pattern is modeled after a flashlight. It is better if the shirt is buttoned at the back. The sleeves, shirt and pants at the bottom must be gathered with elastic.

We cut and assemble

The most suitable fabric for sewing is flannel. It has a suitable texture and reasonable price. Another option is knitwear with a fleecy surface. We outline the details, not forgetting to leave allowances. You can start working with your pants on. First you need to sew the crotch seams. As a result, we get a pair of “pipes”. We turn one of them right side out, then the other side out. Then we put the first part into the second (while making sure that the upper cuts are aligned). All that remains is to baste and sew. Folding the trouser legs at the top twice, hem them and insert elastic bands. Be sure to sew over the seams. The crochet ponytail is an indispensable attribute that distinguishes our outfit. This part is a fabric tube into which a wire is inserted.

Sew a shirt

We figure out how to make a pig costume . And the next stage of our work is sewing a shirt. Darts are optional for her. It is acceptable if the length of the product is slightly below the waist. The shirt is assembled in the usual way:

  1. The seams are connected: side and shoulder.
  2. The sleeve is sewn and basted.
  3. After checking the fit, it is sewn into the armhole.
  4. The lower part of the product, as well as the sleeves, are hemmed and an elastic band is inserted.

Sew a hat

We continue to make a pig costume with our own hands, a photo of which is given below. The next stage is sewing the hat. In this case, a cap pattern is suitable, which consists of two parts: the bottom and the sides. It would be great if you could find a ready-made pattern. It will only need to be increased. The length of the strip for the side should be sufficient to gather it up a little. We sew the parts and hem the side panel. It can be sheathed. For this you will need thin lace.

The pig costume is almost ready. All that remains is to add the ears. For them we cut out four triangles (they should be the same size). We put them in pairs. Make sure that the parts are adjacent to each other with wrong sides. The sides with which the ears will be sewn to the headdress must be left open. Insert pieces of cardboard inside (any flat, thin, elastic foam will also work). Folding the open edges inward, we baste the ears to the hat. Now let’s take a little break and try on what we came up with. The ears should not fall off or fall off. If you are completely satisfied with the result, then it’s time to sew on the ears. You can also simply starch the hat without any cardboard inserts in the ears.

When we are making a pig costume for children, it is important to remember that the indispensable detail of the character is the snout. The easiest way is to paint it on your face using face painting.

So, we figured out how to make a pig costume . It will look original at any children's party. If parents are completely limited in time, then the solution for them will be to buy pink pants and a T-shirt at the store. You can also make a mask. Either paper or disposable plate. By the way, if desired, the outfit can be diversified with gloves and shoe covers.

Pig costume

New Year's costume of Piglet

And, of course, no one canceled face painting.

A pig costume is usually made of pink fabric, because pigs are pink. This could be a jumpsuit or shorts and a vest with a white T-shirt or turtleneck. A small tail made of fabric-covered wire twisted into a ring. Hats with ears. And a nose patch made of soft sponge with slits at the bottom for air.

But if you sew a jumpsuit with a hood that already has ears and a snout, it will be even better. Below is a pattern for a jumpsuit with a sewn-on hood. If there is a bow tie around the neck, then it is a boy pig, and if there is a flirty pink bow on the ear, then it is a girl pig. The bow tie is very suitable.

And how to draw pig ears so that you can cut them out later. Or a headband with ears

Make a pig costume for New Year or any other holiday not very difficult. It’s very good if you have pink things in your wardrobe, for a girl – a dress, and for a boy – shorts with a T-shirt. We dress the child in these clothes, cut out rectangular ears on the head from pink cardboard, which we attach to the headband. We can also make a patch; you can use cardboard, which we secure with an elastic band.

You can dress the child in all white, but be sure to make a pig mask. You can print the following template and then adjust it to your face size:

You can also sew a tail to the clothes, and to make it a hook, we use wire, bend it in the desired shape and wrap it in pink fabric. And then we sew on the tail.

I propose to sew a costume of a popular cartoon character- Peppa Pig.

For the dress you will need red fabric. You can make a pattern using a child’s T-shirt.

Having tried it on, you can stitch it.

We make Peppa Pig's ears from fabric and a headband, and the snout from fabric and a button.

Every mother dreams of her child being the best dressed.

The New Year's pig costume includes a lot of pink. Therefore, pants, a dress, or a cape of this color will do for a suit.

To make the costume we use the following diagram.

The body can be made voluminous.

A pink jumpsuit is also suitable for a suit.

The main attribute of the costume is the ears and snout. They can be made from wire or use an ordinary hoop.

A pig mask, which can be made from paper or a disposable plate, is also suitable.

How to make a pig or pig costume for New Year or another children's party? The answer to this question, I hope, will greatly help parents of preschoolers.

To make a piggy costume you will need soft fabric pink - for example, plush, flannel or something else soft. From it, using the simplest pattern, sew either a jumpsuit with sleeves, or trousers and a jumper - whichever is easier. For really lazy parents, you can buy pink pants (for example) and a T-shirt in one of the children's stores.

Sew a squiggle tail to the back of the garment. If your overalls have a hood, sew the ears onto it. If not, make ears with a headband.

Well, the finishing touch is the snout nose. You can also sew it from fabric, or buy a ready-made pig mask, or simply paint a pig’s face with paints on the child’s face. As you can see, making a pig costume for a boy or girl is not at all difficult!

To make/sew New Year's suit Piglet for the New Year. You will need pink fabric. Sew a pig's head, then you can sew a jumpsuit. The eyes can be made from fabric, just like the rest.

This adorable pig costume for a baby can be made from a pink jumpsuit. You need to choose a fabric that matches the color.

We simply sew the snout and ears to the overalls, and sew the hooves onto the paws.

This option is for more adults, but the base is also a jumpsuit, but one-piece. A hood is sewn onto it, and wires are inserted into the ears.

Then we transfer all the contours onto the fabric and cut them out. I would suggest using pink velor. The fabric is soft, warm, beautiful and it will create a pleasant volume to the suit. Please note that there is a zipper on the front of the jumpsuit, but you can do it on the back, for example. It’s better to take a zipper that matches the fabric.

As for the bottom of the trousers, I would fold the fabric, stitch it and insert an elastic band. It seems to me that it will be much more beautiful this way.

Now I’ll tell you a little about the headdress.

You can sew fabric, homemade ears to the hood, or you can simply make a mask. I really liked this option:

Where can I get the pattern?

The pig costume consists of three main parts: shirt, pants and hat. You can add more gloves and shoe covers, but this is not necessary. If desired, you can also sew a jumpsuit with a hood, but it is not as comfortable as a suit consisting of separate parts. You will need the basic patterns for the shirt and trousers, as well as the cap pattern. The pig has enough curvaceous, so it’s better to take a size larger for patterns. Model the sleeve pattern in approximately the same way as for a flashlight, that is, draw a middle line from the most convex point of the sleeve to the bottom, set aside 5-7 cm to the right and left, draw lines parallel to the middle through these points, cut the pattern, place it on the fabric and spread apart. It is better to make a shirt with a clasp on the back. The bottom of the sleeves, shirt and pants are gathered with elastic.

The bottom of your pants and cuffs should fit snugly around your arms and legs.

Cutting and assembly

It is best to sew a pig costume from flannel. It matches the texture, is easy to sew, and besides, it is inexpensive. But you can take, for example, knitwear with a fleecy surface. Trace the details, leaving allowances. You can start sewing with pants. Sew the crotch seams. You will get two “pipes”. Turn one right side out, the other right side out, then place the first one inside the second, aligning the top edges, baste and sew. Fold the top and legs twice, hem, insert elastic bands. Sew the seams. The shirt can be made without darts, its length can be just below the waist. The assembly procedure is usual - connect the side and shoulder seams, sew and baste the sleeve, check the fit, sew in. Finish the neckline and sew in a short zipper. Hem the bottom of the product and the sleeves, insert an elastic band. Sew a ponytail to the pants with a hook - it’s just a tube of fabric with a wire inserted into it.

For knitwear you need a special needle with a blunt end.

Hat with ears

For a pig costume, it is better to take a cap pattern consisting of a bottom and a side. It’s better to take the finished pattern and enlarge it. The strip for the side should be of such length that it can be slightly gathered. Sew the parts, hem the side. You can trim it with thin lace. For the ears, cut out 4 identical triangles. Fold them in pairs with the wrong sides facing each other, sew them together, leaving open the sides with which the ears will be sewn to the hat. Insert pads made of cardboard or pieces of some flat, thin, flexible foam. Fold the open edges inward, baste the ears to the hat and try on what you have. Ears should stand up. If everything suits you, sew them on. By the way, it is not necessary to make gaskets - you can simply starch the cap. The piglet has one more necessary detail - a snout. The easiest way to paint it on the face is with face painting.

Create a pig mask and costume

Holidays and carnivals in a kindergarten or school are not only a joyful and fun event for children, but also a headache for adults who do not know how and where to get the right costume or mask for a child.

Of course, constantly buying or renting a suit is quite an expensive pleasure, so you should think about making it yourself. Don’t rush to give up, even if you are far from needlework and sewing. A creative approach to business and imagination will help you bring any bold idea to life.

A popular costume is a pig or pig.

Deciding on a character and thinking through the image

What comes to your mind first? Pink color, a snout nose, funny triangular ears or a donut tail? All these are integral components of the image of a pig, which means that, to one degree or another, they should be reflected in his costume or accessories.

You can make any pig costume you like: perhaps it will be the perky and cheerful Funtik, or the cute and charming Piglet (either from the Disney version of the cartoon, or from the Soviet one), or one of the three pig brothers from a famous fairy tale, or a funny and resourceful pig Peppa, or the capricious beauty and imaginary Nyusha from Smeshariki. As you can see, there are a lot of options to choose from.

It is necessary to select a character based on the child’s personal preferences (maybe there is a favorite cartoon or fairy-tale character, a pig), and also take into account his age. For example, if your baby is still very tiny, then there is no need to make bulky costumes or think about numerous details, because most likely you need the outfit more than the child.

For infants or children who are not yet walking, you can make a funny pink jumpsuit with a hood in the shape of a pig’s face, and if you are familiar with knitting, you can knit panties and a hat with ears for his head.

Much greater scope for creativity opens up when creating costumes for older children.

Several ideas and options

A child's holiday outfit can be the simplest. Perhaps you will simply designate the image of a pig with a headdress or mask, and the role of a costume will be played by ordinary clothes, skillfully selected and suitable for this character.

For example, if you dress a boy in a beige or light pink shirt/turtleneck with a bright vest and short pants or bloomers with straps/suspenders, then you will get one of three brother pigs. You can complete the look with a mask, which is very easy to make.

  1. The pig mask can be made of paper. Then all you need to do is find a nice mask template and print it out, then cut out the holes for the eyes, color it and attach an elastic band. If you don’t want to paint, you can print a color template right away, and to make the mask stronger, glue it to a thick base or cardboard. If desired, decorate the mask with glitter or other decor.
  2. The pig mask or headdress is also made from other materials. You can make it in the same way as a paper one, only from felt, sew it from fabric (taking any hat as a basis), make it from foam rubber or papier-mâché, etc. Face painting would also be appropriate for the holiday.

If you know how to sew, you can use patterns and completely sew a suit. This can be either a one-piece jumpsuit or pants with suspenders or a skirt (for girls), described in the first option, but already made specifically for this look.

Select materials that are light and voluminous so that they hold their shape well and look beautiful, for example, thermal velour, fleece, organza or taffeta. It will work out very well if you duplicate the material with padding polyester. Be sure to attach a ponytail to the costume (you can twist it from wire and cover it with fabric), and the legs can have pink socks or knee socks.

If there is a costume competition or important performance coming up, you can make some original or interesting costume, for example, a Peppa Pig costume or Nyusha the Smesharik. By the way, such costumes will be available even for adult animators. Peppa may be wearing a pink dress or sundress, but she will have to tinker with the headdress. Try cutting it out of foam rubber and painting it or making it out of felt.

For Nyusha’s costume, you will need to sew a “round dress” (cut it like a sundress or a dress with a yoke, but add a tulle lining down and gather tightly to make a ball). Decorate the dress with applique or other decor. You can put a pink headband with ears and a pigtail on your head, or you can make a full-fledged Nyusha headdress (more suitable for animators or for creating life-size puppets).

Let the image of a piglet, created with your own hands, be the brightest and most beautiful at the upcoming holiday!
