Prefabricated version
The image of the titmouse should be based on the color contrast of blue and yellow. And since any girl wants to wear a dress to a matinee, she needs to choose clothes of a festive style in the chosen color scheme. The titmouse costume will be made from loose blue dress. It should be made of light fabric so that when moving it creates the illusion of flight. On top of this dress you need to wear a yellow corset. If a girl doesn’t have such an element in her wardrobe, then you can replace it with a beautiful sleeveless blouse. The main thing is to maintain the right harmony so that the top is not too yellow. If you still haven’t found the optimal combination, you can complement the look with another blue layer. It will turn out very realistic - the bottom and back will be blue, and the stomach will be yellow. So, the do-it-yourself titmouse costume is almost ready, all that remains is to make the headdress. To do this, you will need to take a blue hat and sew a yellow fur trim onto it. You need to make a cone-beak out of papier-mâché or just cardboard. Now all that's left to do is glue the eyes to the hat. If desired, you can decorate the bird's head with black fur.

Now let's move on to making the top. We sew a yellow vest using a regular rectangle pattern. You need to leave holes for the arms in the side seams. The sleeves will be blue and tiered. They will look original if the edge of each tier ends in a wave, symbolizing feathers. Remaining It will consist of three parts. The right and left will be yellow, and the center will be blue. All that remains is to attach the beak and sew on the eyes.
Funny titmouse
This costume is easy to make. To make it you will need corduroy shorts. They should be worn over white tights. It is advisable to match them with a turtleneck of the same color. A yellow vest will help make the suit recognizable. In order for the bird's image to look winter-like, you will need to trim some parts of the costume with fur, for example, the legs of the shorts and the perimeter of the vest. The only thing left to do is to cut out two semicircles from corduroy or velvet, the length of which should be equal to the length of the child’s arm from wrist to shoulder. These parts should also be trimmed with fur, and you can also make an applique of stripes in the middle of the wing. The wings will be attached to the arms using rubber bands. They need to be sewn on at least three. The titmouse costume is almost ready. All that remains is to make fur hat, and just below the top of the head you need to sew black fur. A cardboard beak and paper eyes should be attached to the front of the headdress.

This image is incredibly feminine and delicate. It will suit absolutely any girl and even a young woman. It consists of a skirt, top and bolero. Sewing a titmouse costume for a girl is a labor-intensive process. Let's start with the skirt. To make it you will need a piece of fabric and a wide elastic band. We cut the material along the bias into strips 10, 20 and 30 cm long. Now they need to be processed on both edges with a zigzag stitch or using an overlocker. On one side, lace should be sewn to each strip. Now you can assemble the skirt. We sew frills to the wide elastic band in layers. The yellow top also needs to be decorated with lace. To do this, thin strips of a beautiful frill of the same color as decorative finishing skirts. You need to make a bolero from blue fabric. To prevent it from slipping off, you should definitely sew elastic bands on the wrists, and ties at the neckline. The collar and sleeves should be trimmed with lace.
If desired, you can make a shirtfront. It is cut on the bias from yellow fabric. Its edges need to be overlocked, then lace is sewn to one of the sides. This decorative element must be attached to the collar of the bolero. All that remains is to make the hat. To do this, you need to find a matching headdress, sew a small veil and a few feathers onto it.

How to make a circle skirt pattern correctly?
To sew a titmouse costume for the New Year, we prepare a ¼ paper pattern. We make calculations:
- We calculate the radius - this is the width of the skirt at the waist: FROM: (2 * 3.14) = 60: 6.28 = 9.55 cm.
- On our pattern, ½, which means we set aside 4.78 cm along the upper semicircle. Be sure to take into account that the skirt will be gathered at the waist, so we will deepen the waist line by 1-1.5 cm along the longitudinal thread.
- From the center of the waist line, set aside the length of the skirt - 30 cm down and on the sides. Plus 2 cm - seam allowances.
- Connect the dots and cut out. Well, the titmouse costume pattern is ready.
- Let's move on to working with fabric. We start with the blue satin overskirt. We fold the fabric twice diagonally, pin the pattern to it, outline it, adding 2 cm to the seams and cut it out. There is no need to sew such a skirt on the sides; the circumference is complete. You need to gather the fabric at the waist.
- We do the same with tulle, adding 7 cm in length. And we also gather it at the waist. We connect both parts of the skirt and sew them to the belt, for which we use a decorative blue elastic band.
- We sew blue bias tape along the edges of the overskirt. Tulle does not need finishing. So, the skirt is ready. Let's move on to sewing the vest.

To sew a titmouse costume for a girl with your own hands, we use blue and yellow satin for the vest. Along the edges ready product decorate with feather ribbon. For a girl 128 cm tall you will need:
- blue satin - 35 cm;
- yellow satin - 35 cm;

The vest consists of three parts: the back back is blue and two front panels are yellow. We cut out the model from paper, as shown in the figure below, and outline it on the fabric, taking into account a seam allowance of up to 2 cm.
Cut and sew along the sides. We process the edges. We use blue feather ribbon as decoration. As an option, you can add yellow and black - the color of the titmouse's feathers. We decorate the entire vest along the edge. The same feathers can be sewn onto the raglan sleeves, which are worn under the vest. The color you can choose is blue. Decorate the tit's breast with a black tie. You can take a ready-made one or make it from leftover felt that is used for a hat.
Headdress
When creating a titmouse costume for a girl with your own hands, you need to think about the headdress. There are many options. This could be a headband with flowers and feathers, a bandana or a hat. different models. The main thing is that the primary colors are present: blue, yellow and black. In our case, we are sewing a felt hat with a visor in the shape of a bird’s beak. This material holds its shape perfectly, does not require additional processing of cut edges, and does not fade. If desired, you can replace it with other materials. So, you will need:
- felt in blue, yellow and black;
- white.
How to prepare the patterns is shown below.
Number 1 - beak, 2 - front shelf, 3 and 4 - side parts, 5 and 6 - back shelves, 7 - clasp.
We cut out all the details of the hat from paper, having previously made calculations. So, for parts 3 and 4, the length of the base is equal to the diameter of the head divided by 6. Then we lay out the patterns on the fabric, trace them, adding a little to the seams, cut them out and sew them together one by one. The beak is black, the rest of the details are blue and yellow, as shown in the picture. We cut out the eyes from white tape and glue them to the sides of the hat. The pupils can be drawn with a marker or cut out from leftover felt. Be sure to attach a clasp at the back. The attachment points are indicated on the pattern.
Well, I made my own titmouse costume for a girl. It remains to add a few details and you can go to the party.
Completing the image
As the basis of the outfit we use raglan with long sleeves in blue to match the skirt. We decorate it with a feather ribbon along the entire length of the sleeve. We put on matching ballet shoes, blue or black, on our feet. They can also be decorated with feathers on top.
Well, as you can see, nothing complicated. The image turned out to be light, airy and very elegant. Just in time for the holiday. We wish your titmouse good luck!
A do-it-yourself titmouse costume for a girl is an excellent alternative to the more common carnival children's images. The tit bird is elegant and bright - in a yellow-blue dress, with wings and a bird mask. In this outfit, your little one will definitely not go unnoticed.
Selecting materials
The final look and comfort of the costume will depend on what materials you use for the titmouse costume. Outfits made from poor synthetic fabric are cheap, but they stick to the feet, become electrified and can cause irritation to the child’s skin. Then, instead of joy, he will receive complete grief from the holiday.
For the chest of a tit bird, you can use plush or fleece that imitates short plumage; for a skirt, elegant organza or tulle is suitable. The wings and mask are beautifully made from thick, bright felt that holds its shape well. You may also need thick cardboard from which to make your bird's beak.
As for the shades, let's pay attention to the tit in nature - this bird has a yellow belly and a “tie”, a head and wings of black color, shimmering blue. Therefore, a titmouse costume will resemble a real bird; if you take the main outfit in yellow, a dress or skirt with a T-shirt will be preferable for a girl. Supplement it with blue or blue wings, and you will get a real titmouse.
Dress
If you don't know how to sew well or don't have extra time, the easiest way to make a titmouse costume is to take a ready-made bright yellow dress. However, there are other options that are not very time consuming. For example, you can take a yellow T-shirt and make a skirt from bright tulle. You can choose a hard one that stands up and keeps its shape well - the skirt will turn out to be cheerful and playful, like a tutu. And from soft euro tulle you can make a lighter fluffy skirt, which will create a romantic image, and then such a skirt can be used in other outfits.
To make a skirt, measure the child's waist and measure the length of the future skirt. Using these measurements, cut 4 pieces of tulle so that the skirt is not see-through. Set your machine to the longest stitch length and sew along the edge of each piece individually. If you sew by hand, simply thread the edge of the cut, as they say, “bait” it. Then pull the thread at one end to create a gather. Straighten all the folds so that they are even. Now stitch over the folds with a shorter warp stitch to secure the gather. Do this with each cut.
Measure a piece of wide satin ribbon for the belt - waist circumference plus 30 centimeters on each side for tying a bow. Place all the pieces of tulle on top of each other, stitch so that they become one. Place a satin ribbon on top of the cut and pin it to the tulle with pins. Fold the free edge of the ribbon over to the other side and pin it again. Sew the waistband to the skirt and it's ready. Due to the long ends of the belt, you can easily tie it around your child's waist.
Wings
The next step in creating a titmouse costume with your own hands is the wings. There are many options here, but we will highlight a few of the simplest and most beautiful ones.
For the first one you will need a blue bolero with short or long sleeves. You can sew long pieces of shiny organza in blue shades onto the sleeves - the wings are ready.
The second option is to sew wings from fabric and felt. To do this, you will need a piece of any blue fabric for the base and felt of different shades of blue. Let the child extend his arms to the sides, and you measure the distance between the wrists. This will be the width of the wings. Cut a semicircle from the fabric, the base of which is the same length as your measurement. The diameter of your semicircle can be made according to the child's measurements from shoulder to waist. Sew elastic bands or ribbons to the corners to tie the wings on the wrists.
Next, cut out many long oval pieces from felt - they will imitate feathers. Sew these feathers onto the base with an overlap. Sew the finished wings to the collar of the dress, tie them on your hands, and your titmouse can take off.
Another option is to sew a blue feather boa on a similar fabric base around the edge - it will look very much like a bird.
Mask for titmouse costume
Measure the circumference of the child's head, add 3-4 centimeters for overlapping gluing. Cut a strip of cardboard this length. Cut out two triangles from the same cardboard, glue them along the long edge to make the beak three-dimensional, and glue the base to the middle of the cardboard strip. Connect the strip into a circle. Cut out two eyes from cardboard and stick them on tape. Color the blank and you can put it on your head.
The second option is to make a mask out of felt. Cut out two blanks of glasses and a nose in the shape of a drop from felt. Glue the nose to the middle of the glasses, glue the second blank of glasses on top. Insert an elastic band around the edges. The edges of the mask can be stitched for reliability and decorated with feathers or bright pieces of felt in other colors.
Details
To complete the titmouse costume for a girl, you can wear yellow knee socks or leg warmers and matching shoes under the dress. You can also add makeup to your face - for example, draw blue wings on your cheeks.
Very soon we will celebrate International Bird Day. Help your child find out what kinds of birds exist, teach him how to make crafts and costumes for winged creatures.
Bird Day - scenario
After familiarizing yourself with it, it will be easier for parents to come up with a costume for their child, and teachers will learn what gaming and educational tasks can be included in the event program.
The hall is decorated accordingly. You can put it up and decorate the walls and windows with branches to create a forest atmosphere. There are many songs about birds. The teacher turns on one of them, and the children enter the hall to the music.
They are dressed in matching costumes. Someone imagines a woodpecker, a cuckoo, a dove, a sparrow, a swan.
The presenter tells riddles, and the answer will be the character of some child. Children must find out and answer which bird is meant.
The next competition sounds like “Bird Names”. The presenter asks questions, the guys must guess a specific bird. Here is a sample list of questions:
- Why was the cuckoo called that way (because it makes the sound “cuckoo”).
- What action influenced the fact that the group of birds was called sparrows (these birds eat grain and seeds and tried to feast on them where people were processing the crop. Therefore, the workers shouted “Beat the thief!”).
- Why is the magpie called white-sided (because it has white sides).
- That's why the bird was nicknamed pika (it sounds like it's squeaking).
- buckets;
- baskets;
The containers are placed at a certain distance. Children take turns hitting them with a small ball. Each participant is allowed three attempts. For one hit, 1 point is assigned, at the end of the competition the results are summed up, and the winner is selected.
The next task is intellectual. It is necessary to prepare cards with photographs of birds and drawings of food for them. In addition to this, you also need to prepare incorrect cards, which will show what birds cannot eat. For example, salt, black bread.
Two cards will show millet and simple. Children should put photographs of a waxwing, sparrow, siskin, bunting, and goldfinch on this loose food. Since these birds are very fond of this cereal.
Children will put photographs of waxwings and bullfinch on cards with images of elderberry, rowan, and bird cherry. These birds love these berries.
On the seeds of melon and watermelon you need to place a nuthatch, tit, and woodpecker. And next to the dry branches of nettle, quinoa and burdock, place the bullfinch, goldfinch, tit, and siskin.
Nuthatches, tits, bullfinches, and sparrows love sunflower seeds.
The next game is active, called “Bird Meeting”. Children in feathered costumes are called up. One guardian of the birds is selected. Others at this time at their rally must decide important questions. As soon as a stranger appears near the group, the guard must give a voice, imitating the singing or cry of the very bird whose costume he is wearing.
On Bird Day kindergarten the scenario may include the proposed calm and active games, as well as others.

To connect these two pieces, sew a strip of fabric on top, it should be long enough for the child to tie these wings around his neck. Sew the remaining feathers onto the remaining free upper part of the wings.
Using this pattern, you can sew an outfit for almost any bird for the Bird Day holiday. You just need to take scraps of the appropriate color. If you are making a sparrow costume, then use pieces of brown and gray fabric.

DIY New Year's costumes for girls based on a tutu skirt
A carnival costume is one of the most important attributes of the New Year. Parents' imaginations are endless when it comes to making outfits, and the process can be very long and labor-intensive. Many mothers fluffy dresses They prefer tutu skirts made of tulle; on its basis, you can create a lot of memorable images that will remain in the child’s memory for a long time. Even a beginner can handle such a product, because it is not necessary to sew a skirt. For the work you will need very few materials:
- elastic for a belt 5-7 cm wide;
- tulle;
- scissors;
- tape measure.
Important! The amount of material depends on the fullness of the skirt. You should always take into account the length of the product and the child’s waist circumference. When calculating the amount of material, use these values as a guide, multiplying them by half.
Fluffy tutu skirt - instructions
Some manufacturers produce tulle already in spools. If you find exactly this one, it will be even easier, since you just need to cut it to length. Don't be upset if you don't find it. Take the tulle in one piece. The simplest ballet tutu does not require any effort to make; we will consider step by step two options for how to make a tutu skirt without sewing. In the first case, you will need to do the following:
- Measure the child’s waist with a measuring tape, take a wide waist elastic band, and cut the resulting length, first subtracting 3-5 cm.
- Place the ends of the elastic on top of each other and sew them tightly. This elastic band will become a belt for a future skirt.
- Prepare tulle. Set aside the required length, multiplying it by half and adding 2.5 cm. If you have a solid piece of material, cut it into strips 7.5-8 cm wide.
- The elastic band of the belt needs to be pulled over something rigid, the back of a chair will do. Fold the tulle strip in half and tie it around the elastic.
- Repeat the steps, gradually moving the tied strips closer together.
The second method is useful for those who want to make a 2- or 3-layer tulle skirt. The manufacturing process is not much different, but a checkerboard elastic band is suitable as a belt. What do we have to do:
- Prepare the tulle as in the first case; for a two-layer skirt you will need 2 spools.
- Stretch the rubber band over a large book or suitable board.
- Fold the tulle strip in half and thread it into the second row from the bottom. Then do the same until you have covered the entire row.
- To make the second row, take a pen or pencil. They will help you avoid getting lost in layers. Tie further strips without missing any space. Straighten and tighten the material to make the skirt look neater.
Important! Use soft or medium-hard tulle. A skirt made from it will look much more beautiful and bulge less.
Tutu costume ideas
A tutu skirt will suit almost every look. Just add accessories, decorate the finished product a little, and you can safely go to the ball. In this simple but effective way you can make a costume for a fairy, kitten, squirrel, frog, snowflake, butterfly, and any other character. The main thing is to have imagination and a desire to surprise your child.
Fairy
Many girls loved this magical look, and my mother loved it precisely because you can match an ordinary dress with accessories, and the outfit is ready. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a dress of a suitable style or color. This is where a tulle skirt will come to the rescue. For this product, select suitable color: soft lilac, pink, lilac. Length can be maximum. You can sew a bodice of matching flowers to the skirt, and decorate your head with a wreath or a cap with a tulle ribbon in the color of the entire ensemble. The main attribute of a fairy is a magic wand and wings!
Squirrel
When creating a skirt, the main thing is to choose a material that matches the color. Here you can combine several colors in one product: orange, brown and black, tying the stripes on the elastic band one by one. Additional accessories will be:
- ears;
- tail;
- paws.
Ears can be made from felt by cutting out 2 orange triangles and fastening them together. Place slightly smaller triangles on them white. The base must be glued to the hoop. It will be convenient to use hot glue. The tail must be bushy. To keep it in shape, sew a wire inside. Use natural or faux fur as material for the tail. You can put gloves with cut off fingers on your hands, and sew fur strips or pom-poms on them.
Frog
Very interesting costume It might work if the skirt is multi-colored. Here you can use several shades of green at the same time. As in the previous costume, you can put green satin sleeves on the arms, or the same gloves. You can decorate the child’s head with a mask, or have a specially sewn hat for the costume. It wouldn't hurt to have leg warmers on your feet.
Important! If the skirt is 2 or 3 colors, then the rest of the accessories should be the same shade, then the whole ensemble will look harmonious.
Snow White
This Disney princess is a frequent guest at the New Year's ball. A girl in such a costume always looks unusual. There are many different interpretations of this costume, but the color scheme remains the same: blue top, yellow bottom. In this case, the tutu skirt should be made long, made of soft tulle, and one color. If a girl styles her hair like Snow White and adds a headband with a cute bow to her costume, then the look will be completely complete.
Princess
Becoming a princess is every girl's dream, and that means carnival costume must match. Gold, cream, or beige colors are suitable here. The skirt must be maxi. Ideally, it will be made with a checkerboard elastic band and it will be magnificent. Every princess should have a crown. Making a crown yourself is not at all difficult. There are many options: you can make it from cardboard, from wire, decorated with beads. Or you can make a small crown out of lace by first greasing it with PVA glue and letting it dry.
Little Red Riding Hood
In Charles Perrault’s fairy tale, it was not indicated anywhere that the main character’s skirt, like her cap, was red. However, most New Year's costumes This character is sewn in red. You can go the same route and make a red tutu skirt; in terms of length, it will still be better if the product is knee-length. An immutable attribute The costume is a red cap. You can complement the look with leg warmers, an apron, and a basket.
Kitty
A tutu skirt in this look looks very impressive if it is one color, for example black or white. To a short fluffy skirt you need to sew a fur tail, tights or striped leggings. The look will be completed with ears on the hoop. As a top, you can use a single-color turtleneck or dance leotard. It wouldn’t hurt to trim it with faux fur to complete the look.
Butterfly
