Winter has come. Soon, soon the most fabulous winter will come holiday. In anticipation new everyone has a lot of pleasant years hassle:needs to be thought through New Year's menu, make interior decorations, buy gifts for relatives and friends. What about the children? They are waiting for Santa Claus, and of course they are preparing for New Year's party!Serious preparations for this event are underway in kindergartens, teachers and music workers are thinking through interesting scenarios. But they always need their parents’ help, including in preparation. suits. Last year our pupils acted as Christmas trees and how I sewed for them costumes I'll tell you now.
First we'll make the hat. We need a glue stick, a paper cone blank (you can use ready-made caps that are sold in birthday kits), double-sided tape and tinsel.
We connect the straight sides of the cone and stick double-sided tape on it, then remove the protective film and wrap tinsel in a circle.
Now let's make a pompom.
Having connected 2 circle blanks, we wind red threads on them
Along the outside of the circle, cut the threads with scissors, separate the circles, and pull the threads into a pompom.
Attach the pompom to the cone. The hat is ready. To keep it on the child’s head, you need to make 2 small holes at the base of the cone and tie a hat elastic.
Now I’ll tell you how the skirts were sewn. To make them I bought gabardine fabric, satin crepe (for belt) and bias tape. First, I cut out the skirts and sewed bias tape to the bottom.
Then I cut strips for the belts.
I stitched it to the top of the skirt and inserted an elastic band.
This is how the skirt turned out.
For upper and lower tier Christmas trees I sewed the same skirts.
Trying on) And the mothers helped us trim our skirts with tinsel)
These are so beautiful Christmas trees performed at the New Year's party!
Thank you for your attention!

New Year's holiday scenario Scenario of the New Year's holiday Children with the Snow Maiden run into the hall to the music and stand around the Christmas tree. Ved: Wider the circle, wider the circle! Hello,.
Hello, dear friends! New Year's holidays are just around the corner. Schools and kindergartens host Christmas trees, and parents dress up their children for performances and masquerades. Many people try to create an outfit on their own, but not everyone has sewing skills, without which, it would seem, this process is impossible. Today we will do Christmas tree costume for girls Mashi. It is not difficult to perform. And the charming Olga, who sews all the costumes for her niece Mashenka, will tell and show us the entire manufacturing process.
The Christmas tree costume is quite common for the New Year holidays, because the Christmas tree is the center of every celebration. Which New Year without her? Traditional round dances around the forest beauty unite all guests and create a great mood.
The costume of Masha, who is only 5 years old, consisted of a main outfit and a cap in the shape of the top of a Christmas tree. In it she went to New Year's holiday in kindergarten.
MATERIALS
- 5 meters of bright green mesh and 3 meters of emerald
- 70 cm green lining fabric
- Linen elastic
- Christmas tree decorations made of plastic and wood
- Thick cardboard
- Glue gun
The main outfit consists of three tiers:
- Underskirt (from waist to floor) -66 cm;
- Attached to the neck - 33 cm;
- Short, in the form of a skirt - 33 cm.
The skirt, made of lining fabric, was cut in the shape of a half-sun with one seam and was fitted with an elastic waist. The elastic band needs to be measured according to the child so that it is not loose and does not press. Masha’s waist circumference is 50 cm, and Olga cut off 40 cm of elastic. This was quite enough. Olga decorated the hem of the bottom with beautiful embroidery in the shape of a herringbone.
Next, Olga cut the mesh into strips 30 cm wide and 132 cm long for the lower tier ( long skirt), and for the top one 30 cm by 66 cm. Having prepared the elastic for both tiers, Olga tied the mesh strips on the elastic bands in knots, alternating colors with each other.
This is the main outfit!
Now it's up to the cap.
For him, Olga cut out a sector of a circle from thick paper, the rounded edge of which was 2 cm larger than the diameter of Masha’s head. I rolled it into a cone shape and glued it together. Olga treated the lower edge of the cap with a mesh, and then, using a hot gun, secured the fabric to the cap, carefully wrapping the edge of the fabric inside the cap.
Then Olga sewed two tiers of mesh at different heights, having previously assembled it by hand. The top of the cap was decorated with three squares, the sides of which are equal to 13 cm. They were attached as shown in mine.
And finally, the entire costume was decorated with stars, beads, Christmas tree decorations and various decorations. Our charming and mysterious Christmas tree is ready! In my opinion, great job! Well done Olga!
In the photo you can see Mashenka in a suit, but not yet in final assembly. As soon as I have a photo of Masha at the New Year's party in full set, I will show it right away).
This, in my opinion, is not a complicated New Year’s Christmas tree costume for a girl that you can create yourself. You only need to sew one skirt. I hope you liked the costume and if you wish, you can easily cope with it.
I thank Olga and her niece Masha for such interesting master class. I am sure that this is not the last costume that Olga created, which means that we have the opportunity to see her other works in the future).
She is not a professional craftsman, but she has always been partial to sewing. It’s good that our skills can be useful to others).
I wish your children wonderful and fabulous holidays, charming outfits and wonderful gifts from Santa Claus!!!

Take a simple green dress as a base. It can be long or short, curvy, fitted or trapezoidal. All you have to do is decorate it with garlands and different toys. For this purpose, beads made of multi-colored plastic, satin ribbons or New Year's tinsel. These decorative elements can be arranged in a zigzag or in a spiral.
The loose segments of the dress can be filled with bells, bows and snowflakes cut from felt or sewn from thick fabric.
Original costume
If there is no green dress in the girl’s wardrobe, you can take something else as a basis. But it should be monochromatic and shaped like a Christmas tree. But decorative elements should be brighter and in greater quantity.
Light Cape
If you are using a regular dress and are afraid of ruining it by sewing on decoration elements, then a Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year can be made in another way. To do this you will need a piece of tulle, nylon or green tulle. You need to make a cape out of it and decorate it with tinsel, snowflakes and other accessories.
Satin ribbons to create layers
To create the next Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year, you will need green satin ribbons and a dress, and it can be of absolutely any shape and color. Choose the width of the ribbons at your discretion, but the narrower they are, the more tiers you will have to make to hide the dress under them.
The ribbons need to be carefully gathered and sewn to the base. The better you do this, the more magnificent the outfit will be.
To create the illusion of snow-covered branches, you can add several layers of tape white. Rain or tinsel will add brightness and shine to your outfit if you sew them to the edges of the ribbon.
Skirt to create an image
Tulle skirt: easy and fast
This version of the Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year is also quite simple. The basis of the outfit is a green skirt. If there is an ordinary one, then the work consists only in decorating it. If you don’t have a skirt, you can sew one, for example, from tulle. This material is particularly light and airy.

Full skirt
It was already mentioned above that you can sew a green skirt and decorate it with accessories. There are two ways to make such a skirt.
The suit will be complemented by a top and puffy sleeves.
For the first option, you will need for sewing:
- green tulle (organza, nylon, tulle are also suitable);
- elastic band 3 cm wide;
- threads;
- green satin ribbon.
- Spread a piece of tulle on a flat surface;
- Step back 1.5 cm on one side and use a needle and strong thread to sew the upper edge of the cut with large stitches;
- Pull the thread so that folds form on the fabric;
- Tighten the product until the skirt meets the child’s waist;
- Sew a belt of satin ribbon to the finished skirt, the ends of which can be beautifully tied into a lush bow.
The second option is suitable for those who do not have special sewing skills.
Tulle skirt without sewing
Decide how long it should be finished product. Double this figure and add about 5 cm. This will be the length of the strips that need to be cut from the fabric. The width of the ribbons should be approximately 15 cm. Having prepared the stripes, take care of the skirt belt. To do this, take an elastic band whose length is equal to the child’s waist. Sew the ends and start assembling the skirt.
How to tie ribbons on an elastic band
Take one strip of fabric, fold it in half and tie it in a flat knot around the elastic, as shown in the photo. Place the tapes tightly together so that there is no free space. The skirt will be ready once you have tied all the strips of fabric.
It is worth noting that tulle is easy to work with because its sections do not need to be further processed or hemmed. This fabric does not fray or unravel.
A-line dress
The dress can be multi-layered
For sewing, you can use any green fabric. The pattern is so simple that even a novice needlewoman can make it. The main thing is to take the child’s measurements correctly and determine the length. But this Christmas tree dress for a girl for the New Year looks more impressive when the length ends slightly below the knees.
Pattern for a-line dress
After cutting out the costume pieces according to the pattern, sew them together. It won't take long. But you will have to work hard on the hem. Make many small loops on the inside of it. Insert stiff wire into them. It will support the hem. Decorate the dress as you wish.
How to make a headdress
A girl’s Christmas tree costume for the New Year will be incomplete if you don’t think about how to decorate the child’s head. The top of the tree is most often crowned with a star or icicle. You can use your imagination and realize your ideas.
Tinsel hat
One of the simplest options is to wrap tinsel or New Year's rain around any hat. At the top you can place a red star. And if you additionally decorate the brim of the hat with white wool, this will create an imitation of snow.
Use tulle, nylon or organza
Another simple way is a veil. A light, airy green material is suitable for this. Gather a piece of fabric from one edge and secure it to your hair using bobby pins. Additionally, you can make a decoration in the form of a star or a red bow.
Cap
You can make a cap out of cardboard or felt and decorate it with the same details that were used to decorate the costume.
The star can be made from felt or colored cardboard

Different ideas for decorating headbands
You can decorate the headband in other ways. Handicraft techniques such as quilling or patchwork from satin ribbons(not to be confused with patchwork).
Tinsel on a wire
But a more complex version of the headdress is the crown. To make it, you can wrap a piece of rigid wire with tinsel and bend it into different directions, give the desired shape.
Knitted crown
The following options will be within the power of true craftswomen. This work is, of course, painstaking, but the result will be unsurpassed.

Crown - the highest level of skill

You should end up with 2 identical parts that need to be sewn together and then carefully pulled onto a wire frame. The structure can be secured to the rim. Embroider the finished crown with rain, decorate with tinsel, stars and snowflakes.
A little imagination, desire, free time and skill will allow you to create a simple Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year.
