I don’t know about you, but my friends and I love to count the black circles on its red wings after catching a ladybug. And I won’t even talk about how these bugs lift your spirits;)
Well, how do you like the prospect of becoming a New Year's ladybug? Everything is not as difficult as it seems, and the result will be bright and positive!
For boys This laconic version will do: black clothes and homemade wings. They can be made, for example, from fabric: sew a red satin cape, and sew or stick black circles on it. Or you can even use cardboard, color it and secure the wings on the back with rubber bands. And, of course, it’s worth adding a mustache to the look: to do this, take a hoop, wire and red pompoms made of thread or fabric!
There is another fast and versatile option this costume: red clothes, and on it there are black specks of felt or velvet. These soft fabrics will add coziness and warmth to your outfit. What could be cuter?
But wait, there is still time before the New Year! So, to the girls who love to preen themselves and be the center of attention: maybe we should think about special option? You still have time to make unsurpassed fluffy skirt, in which you will not just be a ladybug, but the real queen of all ladybugs in the world!
So, you need thin organza or red tulle. Just look at these fabrics - how light, translucent, and simply fabulous they are! Cut them into strips 5-7 cm wide, and select the length at your discretion (it will be almost equal to the length of the future skirt).
The stripes need to be hemmed at the top as shown in the photo. Now all that remains is to string them onto an elastic band using a pin. The length of the elastic should be equal to the waist circumference + 2 cm.
The skirt will be fluffy, like a ballerina’s tutu!
Such a wonderful element festive costume Can be done with black lining. And, of course, you should add funny black dots to it!
And what kind of wings will such a light, tender, airy one have? ladybug? Of course, thin and translucent! And you can make them, for example, from red nylon tights and thin wire.

List of materials:
Tulle (black and red)
Satin(red)
Knitwear (black) or wide elastic
Hair hoop
Black satin ribbon
Wire
Bias tape
Acrylic paint (black)
Manufacturing stages:
petticoat
1. To make it, we cut out straight strips of black and red tulle. The length and width depends on the wishes, height and fullness of the child. But the width must be greater than the waist circumference in order to get a finished fit.
2.Fold each strip in half and stitch along the short side.
3. We insert the parts one into the other, alternating red and black colors. We connect along the top side with a stitch.
4.Take a wide elastic band (knitted strip folded in half) and sew it to the upper edge of the petticoat as a belt.
Here's the finished look.
Skirt
1. Manufacturing is very similar to a petticoat. Cut out a straight strip of fabric.
2. Connect along the short side.
3. Hem or overcast the bottom and top sections of the skirt.
4.Sew the elastic to the top edge, pulling it so as to evenly distribute the gathers along the skirt.
Finished look of the skirt
1. Cut out 4 pieces from red crepe satin, the shape depends on your wishes.
2. To stiffen the wings, duplicate the 2 upper parts.
3.Sew the top and bottom parts with the wrong side inward.
4. All contours, except the neck line, are finished with bias tape.
5.Now we grind the neck, matching the wings. And so that there are ties on each side.
6. All that remains is to paint the black circles with acrylic paint, but you can glue them from any material.
This is what happened.
In general, we can stop here, but we are not looking for easy ways!
Hoop with mustache
1.Wrap the hoop with black tape and secure it with glue or thread.
All children love holidays, especially New Year, some kind of masquerade or carnival. In this case, parents are faced with a choice: buy an outfit, rent it, or try to make it on their own. So, today we will talk about how to sew a ladybug costume. There can be several varieties of it.
If a suit is needed for a girl, then a dark skirt should be used, if for a boy, then trousers. On top you can wear a dark turtleneck or shirt. If desired, you can sew or knit a yellow collar and attach it to your clothing. An improved headband should be put on the head (mustache made of dark fabric must first be sewn onto it), and a cape made of thick red material should be placed on the back. Round black dots should be sewn onto this raincoat and decorated with sparkles or tinsel along the edges. That's it, the wings are done. Actually, the ladybug costume is ready.
This option is more difficult, but the result is excellent. To sew a ladybug costume, you will need a meter of red mesh fabric (the width of the piece is one and a half meters), two meters of rigid wire, a piece of red and black thread, electrical tape, a satin ribbon (red, black) half a centimeter wide, as well as a thick red ribbon (five centimeters wide), matches or lighter, glue, pins, wooden or plastic chopsticks (two sushi chopsticks will do), hair bands, tape measure, pliers, plastic card. The ladybug costume consists of a wand, a skirt (if it's a girl) and wings.
First you need to make the wings. From the red mesh, folded in half, cut out a large circle (two pieces for two wings, diameter about 20 centimeters), sew it, turn it inside out. Now cut a piece of wire longer than the circumference of the wing and insert it into the wing. Fasten the remaining pieces on the outside of the two wings, that is, connect the wings (wrap all sharp edges with electrical tape). Tie an elastic band or black ribbon in the center of the connection (with its help the wings will be attached) and close the connection with a wide red ribbon. Sew pre-cut black spots onto the wings themselves.
A New Year's Ladybug costume for a girl is unthinkable without a beautiful skirt. Take two pieces of mesh 20 centimeters wide and about 2 meters long and use a plastic card to make folds on each (fasten the folds with a pin). When everything is folded, stitch a red ribbon along the top edge on one piece of the mesh and black on the other. Connect the edges of each piece into a ring so that they are tied with a ribbon. Cover the bottom edge with ribbon or braid. As a result, you will get two. Put them on one another, sew on black circles.
The ladybug costume may well be complemented with such an unusual accessory that will grant wishes. Coat the stick with glue and wrap it with a red ribbon, decorate the top with ribbons and beads. That's it, the outfit is ready. All you have to do is put it on with a black turtleneck and tights, and you can go to the party. Your child will undoubtedly be one of the most beautiful at the carnival.
