With the end of October just around the corner, it's time to get dressed for the upcoming holiday, Halloween! I suggest making a spider web! I'll show you step by step how to make a web, with absolutely no sewing!
By the way, I want to note that the net that we will make with our own hands is universal, since it can be used either for a spider costume, placing, for example, on the back or shoulder of a huge plastic spider, or for a witch costume, as in our case.
All we need to create a network:
1) two meters of fleece fabric for an adult, one and a half for a child (we use fleece because it is a fairly warm and durable fabric);
2) cutting chalk or regular chalk for drawing on asphalt will also work;
3) one meter of tape;
4) sharp scissors;
5) ruler or tape measure;
6) hot glue;
7) lighter.
As you can see, nothing special, almost everything can be found in your closet!
First, I want to explain why using regular chalk for drawing is much better and more convenient than using special chalk for cutting. Cutting chalk is very hard and can be quite difficult to draw on fabric, especially something like fleece. But ordinary chalk, for drawing, is much softer in structure, it can get wet and dry repeatedly, but still remain soft, so I still recommend using it for working with fleece, if you have it.
So let's get to work!
1 . First you need to decide on the length of the cape and fold the fleece in four.
2 . Mark a quarter circle using chalk.
3 . Cut out the circle. Don't worry if it doesn't come out perfectly straight, as we'll still be trimming the fabric at the bottom anyway.
Tip 1: To make sure you have enough fabric for your cape, you need to consider how long you want your cape to be before heading to the fabric store. To do this, place the measuring tape on the back of your neck and lower it down your back. Basically, the width of fleece is about 55-60 centimeters wide. If you want to do without sewing, then keep in mind: the width and length of your cape should not exceed the width of the fleece, that is, 60 centimeters!
Tip 2: A tape measure can serve as a large protractor (you don't usually have one like this at home) when you mark your quarter circle. Just make sure the tip of the tape stays in the corner so you can clearly trace the arc for the cape!
4 . Fold the circle in quarters again and draw a circle for the cutout. You can use a T-shirt as a sample. We unfold our circle, now it is not folded in four, but in half. Draw the remaining semicircle. If you want a smooth cut, you need to cut the fabric folded in half.
5 . We draw an inclined line from one side of the semicircle towards the bottom, the width of this part should be ¼ of the width of the entire cape. Then we draw a spider's net with chalk by hand, imitating scallops curved upward along the edge of the fabric along the entire width and height.
6 . Now, using sharp scissors, we cut out our network.
Tip3: As a rule, the neck circumference of a small child is about 20 centimeters, and an adult’s is about 30.
7 . Now that we have a symmetrical cape, we use hot glue to attach the ribbon along the edge of the neckline. The edges of the tape should either be covered with a small amount of glue, or scorched with a lighter.
Our network is completely ready!
Tip 4: If you are worried about reverse side Traces from the chalk markings will be visible, don’t worry! The chalk falls off the fabric quite quickly. Well, if there are a few stains left, they can be easily removed with a damp towel or sponge.
That's all, strictly speaking! Halloween costume is ready! Have fun!
What does almost every boy dream of? Of course, become a real superhero. Making a child's dream come true is quite simple. You can buy a costume of your favorite hero in a store or make it at home with your own hands. A beginner can create an image; it will take a little time and effort, as well as a great desire to make the baby’s dream come true.
How to make a Spider-Man costume with your own hands? Before you start creating a Spider-Man suit, you need to decide what materials will be needed for the work and prepare all the tools necessary for the work.
To work, the needlewoman needs to choose a fabric. Knitwear is ideal, but for a festive costume you can use supplex. It will look original and unusual thanks to its shine. If the suit will be used as home clothes or pajamas, then you should give preference to more natural materials, namely:
You will also need:
It is advisable that clothing be made of thin materials and not have rough seams. This way it will be more convenient to transfer it to the prepared red and of blue color. And the product will look neater.
In order to create a recognizable image, you need to pay attention color scheme and costume details. The Spider-Man costume is made in blue and red tones. Patterns that are applied with black paint by hand.
The colors of the outfit must be distributed correctly, the overall appearance of the product depends on this. The bottom of the product to the knee should be made in blue, but the trouser leg from the knee to the heels should be made of red fabric. The top of the product (jacket) must have a hood, which will subsequently be put on the child’s head and create a mask. The holes for the eyes should be thought out and cut out in the mask.
The colors must be distributed in this order: the hood, shoulders, sleeves and stripes on the back and chest should be red, but part of the sleeves and sides of the product should be sewn from blue fabric. The chest should be decorated with the image of a web with a spider. This decoration is applied with ordinary black acrylic paint and a thin brush. A similar web pattern is also applied to all parts of the costume, which are made in red.
They made it for the costume and it was impossible to cut it by eye. For this you need to have a suit pattern. Since the entire suit consists of a T-shirt and sweatpants, then the pattern will help us make the child’s things. So, take the baby’s pants and T-shirt and turn them inside out. We lay out the parts on a pre-prepared paper sheet and outline them. All available seams must be indicated on the product and allowances must be measured. In order for the template of the lower part of the product to be made correctly, you need to turn the pants inside out, insert one leg into the other, and then trace the back and front of the product.
The resulting costume parts will need to be cut into elements that differ in color.
At the beginning of work you need to collect the parts. The product must be assembled in the following order:
An elastic band must be inserted into the upper part of the legs. To do this, you need to make a turn and stitch it.
In order to create a high-quality spider costume at home, you need to give preference to a special acrylic paint for textiles. It is securely fixed, impregnating the fibers of the fabric.
The paint should not be liquid, otherwise it will be applied in wide stripes and spread along the fibers of the fabric. The paint should be carefully diluted with water. A thin brush will help you do the job carefully.
Work on creating a web pattern should begin by creating the rays for the web, after which you can draw curved bridges between the rays. This course of work will allow you to apply the drawing symmetrically. To prevent the paint from bleeding onto adjacent parts of the product, you need to place a sheet of cardboard under the canvas.
When creating a Spiderman costume for a small child, you should give preference, first of all, to the baby’s comfort. For the matinee in kindergarten you can use a simplified version of the costume. In this case, the child’s main clothes will be jeans and a blue T-shirt. Over the T-shirt, you can wear a cape or vest, which is sewn at home. The cape should be made in red and blue colors. You can complement the look with red sleeves or new gloves purchased at the store.
The design on the cape can be done using a black marker, and the spider patch can be purchased in advance. If there is no black marker in the house, then the web can be embroidered with ordinary threads. True, in this case you will need to spend more time and a little more effort. But the finished product will amaze with its realism.
In addition to the image of Spider-Man, shoes should also be selected. It can also be decorated in the appropriate color scheme, or you can simply take ready-made sneakers or sneakers in red.
Don't forget about the mask, which will add mystery to the image. The mask can be made of fabric or colored cardboard. It should be attached with an elastic band. But what format of mask to use for the image is up to the little hero to decide. As a rule, the mask covers:
To make a Spider-Man mask from fabric, you need to take a child’s hat from a thin material, attach it to the prepared red material, trace and cut it out. Sew the details along the side seams and trim the bottom of the product with tape. Then you will need to sew on special ties that will help secure the product to the child’s head, and cut holes for the eyes. The area around the eyes should be overlocked and outlined with a black marker and white corrector for greater realism.
Attention, TODAY only!
An event for which you need to come up with your own image and make a costume will be especially memorable and bright. It could be any holiday ( New Year, Halloween, birthday) or just a costume party. Even adults often indulge in the pleasure of trying on their favorite roles and dressing up in beautiful costumes, if possible.
One of the universal images is the image of the hero of the most popular films, cartoons and comics - Spiderman or Spider-Man.
Many boys dream of becoming a superhero like Spider-Man. The costume of this character itself is very bright and original. And although it is not entirely easy to make, it is quite possible to make it yourself.
In the original, Spiderman's suit is full-body and tight-fitting. Of course, it will be very difficult to make one at home yourself, and besides, it may be inconvenient for a child to put on and wear this version of the costume. Therefore, it is often made from several parts:
Don’t forget that all the red parts of the costume should be decorated “like a spider’s web,” plus images of spiders can be present in the form of embroidery, patches or stickers.
If your child is very small, then you should use a simplified version of the costume, putting the comfort of the clothing for the baby first.
For example, only the upper part of the suit will convey the image, and the child may be dressed in ordinary jeans and a blue T-shirt. On top of it you can make a blue-red vest and red arm ruffles. In the chest area, sew an image of a black spider, and stitch the elements of the web on red fabric with black thread or draw with a black marker (a silver marker is also often used). You can make a regular mask just for the eyes from red fabric (with an elastic band or string) and stitch it in the shape of a web. For shoes, choose red sneakers, which can also be decorated thematically.
For older children, there is a reason to strive for maximum resemblance to the original. Here you will need to work a little longer.
The image of Spider-Man is liked not only by boys, but also by girls. For them you can use the same carnival mask for the eyes, and any red T-shirt will do as a costume (add only a spider or cobweb on the chest) and a blue or light blue skirt (it looks very nice and a tutu from tulle is easy to make). So the real girlfriend for Spiderman is ready.
Do you want to choose the most unusual costume for your child? Then we suggest choosing a well-known character - a spider.

Fold the cuts in half on the smaller side and stitch along two sides - the larger and the smaller. Turn it inside out to hide the seams, and place a bulky filler inside, such as padding polyester. It is advisable to stretch the wire along the entire length of the legs so that they are shaped and protruding, like those of spiders. Attach matching gloves to the tips of the paws; the same ones should be prepared for the hands.
Tie a voluminous bow on the chest and put a bowler hat on the child’s head in the color of the suit. How to make a spider costume if matching hat not found? Make it yourself from thick paper.

The spider legs, located on one side, are tied using thick twisted rope without unnecessary tension. It becomes possible to observe the amazing synchronicity of limb movements.

Mothers of small children represent a whole team producing crafts, drawings, even clothes. While the child is in kindergarten, his mother discovers her artistic talents. With the passion of a fashion designer, she cuts out fragments of the costume at night so that her child will be the best, the most unusual at the children's party.
