For fun and for fun, we raise the mood: we sew Petrushka's suit!

Petrushka is the favorite hero of fairground fairground performances. A cheerful, sharp-tongued buffoonhead, who is not afraid to be laughed at by neither the guardians of order, nor the royal boyars, nor the Tsar-father himself.

The appearance of the toy is easily recognizable, and your child in this image at the New Year's matinee will have an undeniable success!

Details and equipment

The costume of Petrushka must necessarily meet two requirements: brightness of design and preservation of Russian folk color. We emphasize: this is the Russian folk hero. About him, his prose was created by his plays by unknown authors from the people, and then by professional writers.

The outfit consists of a hood, a shirt with a sash belt, wide pants and boots. Make it easy from handy tools, with some additional accessories.

Cap cap

The costume of Parsley can be either with a single cap or with a two-lobed one. The first is made of flexible cardboard and is painted in a tone of clothing. Or it is covered with a cloth, and colored circles, patches, etc. are pasted onto it. Be sure to decorate the hat of confetti! After all, this is an outfit for the holiday! The cone of the cap ends with a bell (you can buy a small sample in the souvenir shop) or a pompon-bells - it's not difficult to make it out of a piece of cloth and cotton wool. You can diversify the costume of Petrushka, giving it a fairytale shade, and instead of a pompon make a brush of sparkling Christmas tree "rain" or tinsel.

The two-headed headdress is a little more complicated - you need to sew a cap of two caps. The material is worth taking a multi-colored. Decorate the way the first option. To "horns" retain the shape, they need to fill a little cotton wool or foam rubber.

The upper part of the attire

Petrushka's costume includes a shirt in the manner of a Russian kosovorotki. The color should be bright, catchy: scarlet, orange, sunny-yellow. Yes, the material should be taken "with a tin": silk, satin, satin.If you can not sew, but do not appeal to anyone, we get out of the situation: a plain plain t-shirt (only a size or two bigger than necessary) is taken For the basis.On the gate it must be pulled off with a lace or an elastic band (so that there is not a wide mouth) .Have the sleeves of the sleeves covered with a decorative shiny ribbon of those with which the bouquets are made.Further, the Petrushka costume is decorated with sewn mugs of multicolored patches. Do not forget about confetti, it, together With the rest of the decor, magical It will transform the T-shirt, and then fold the bottom of it with a shiny ribbon. Do not be afraid of lasciviousness!

The lower part of the attire

Children's costume Petrushka suggests pants of a special style - wide, filled in boots, sewn from the material of two contrasting colors: yellow and blue, green and red, etc.

On the pants, too, are colored patches (the cheerier the color scale, the more successful the carnival costume will turn out).

Belt

Such an accessory, as a belt, for a dress is very important. Firstly, he very successfully complements the costume, emphasizes ethnic motives in it. Secondly, it helps to hide the unnecessarily large size of the "shirt". Carnival belt is sewn in the same way as usual, just decorate the ends like a cap - pompoms, bells, brushes (for accessories to harmonize and give the image a completeness).

Footwear

Any boots will do. If desired, they can also be decorated.
