How to make an alien costume quickly from bags. Simple New Year's costumes for children - lots of ideas! Paper dress made from scrap materials


Today we will look at unearthly images of girls from all over the world and try to create our own image of a beautiful alien. The holidays are ahead, so it's time to prepare clothes and accessories for a wide variety of events, from corporate parties to visiting parents and friends.


Fashion has been changing lately, many are tired of sexy outfits and traditional beauty– this is clearly evident from the collections and photographs of fashionistas. But today we will go even further, as far as possible from planet Earth, and try to create the image of an alien. Just don’t think that Militta recommends this image for a corporate party, there you must adhere to the rules that we discussed in



Alien of unearthly beauty


The most simple solution is to buy an alien costume, but publicly available carnival costumes look very cheap and are only suitable for a girl for a matinee in kindergarten. A child can be forgiven for dressing up in a suit from our Asian friends. And we will go the other way and try to create a collective image of an alien based on fashionable clothes, accessories and matching makeup.


Another option is to replicate the images of various characters from films like Star Wars. Only this is a boring and banal path, which is not much different from buying a ready-made alien costume. Copying and imitation indicates a lack of imagination.


Even if you liked the movie, why completely copy the images? Don't we have our own imagination and creative ideas? It is much better to create a collective image based on what you see and your own idea of ​​the aliens.



What do real aliens even look like? Nobody knows the exact answer to this question, or knows, but it is not taken seriously. Therefore, in search of the image of an ideal alien, we will start from the most successful images of girls from different parts of planet Earth and models from fashion collections different seasons.


When choosing an image, pay attention to materials, shades, details and style elements. Fabrics with a metallic sheen or purple sparkle. Unusual glasses, a silver handbag and boots, makeup and manicure will help you transform beyond recognition. The advantage of this route is that after the holidays, most accessories can be used to create completely earthly looks.


If you remember famous models, you will notice that for some it is much easier to enter the image of an alien. For example, the top model Tanya Diaghileva, famous in the recent past, looks like an alien even without makeup and unearthly outfits. In general, aliens are different, they can be small and plump, but what impression will they make...

A little imagination, unnecessary things that have been wanted for a long time, but it’s a pity to throw them in the trash and... the carnival costume is ready! Do you think this is unrealistic? If you really want to create something extraordinary and memorable, nothing can stop you. Believe in yourself and create an amazing costume from what you find in your closet, in the corner of your garage, or just on hand!

DIY carnival costumes for children

What are improvised materials? Any things and objects are suitable for a New Year's costume except heavy and dangerous ones: it is better not to use glass parts and dead batteries.

But grandmother’s forgotten pieces of fabric and worn things are perfect:

  • old T-shirts, skirts, T-shirts;
  • shawls, scarves, pareos, capes, tablecloths, curtains and tulle;
  • shirts, blouses;
  • jeans, drape trousers and much more.

A rag dowry inherited from a grandmother is an incredible value, given the fact that, moving in a spiral, the fashion for fabrics and models of those times is returning. Dresses with large and small polka dots in retro style are again at the peak of popularity. From self-woven fabrics you can make wonderful Russian folk decoration for a peasant woman. Aliens, knights and mermen can appear from what you find at home.

An alien is something incomprehensible and unusual. No one has seen them, but everyone imagines them in their own way.

This costume idea is suitable when there is absolutely no time, and the carnival is just around the corner. You can use improvised means. The easiest way to create an alien outfit is out of foil. You will need several rolls of silver foil. A black or gray turtleneck and leggings are perfect for the base of a suit. We wrap all the necessary parts of the vestment with foil: collar, sleeves, back, front, belt and shoes.

You can use a large cardboard box - make holes for the arms and head and cover it with foil. The final stage in the costume will be the headdress:

  • A silver wig made of New Year's tinsel and huge glasses.
  • Foil mask. Apply the foil to the face and, using slight pressure, give it the shape of the face, cut out the eyes. Attach an elastic band.
  • Cover the finished hat with foil and attach several antennas.

Make an alien masquerade costume from garbage bags black or silver colors are even easier. By cutting off the bottom of the bag, you will get rectangles that will fit like a tunic. We connect the parts of the tunic on the shoulders using tape. For greater effect, the outfit can be covered with reflectors or price tags in acid colors. Well, don't forget about the headdress.

Hedgehog costume for a boy

Option for a little hedgehog for a masquerade:

Simplified version:

  • cape with a hood and sewn needles;
  • overalls or shirt with trousers;
  • mushrooms, leaves, fruits, tinsel-rain as decoration;
  • shoes.

In both options, you make the hedgehog’s needles yourself. Cut out many circles from the fabric of the desired color. The radius of the circle will be equal to the length of the hedgehog's needle. In each circle, one quarter (wedge) is removed and the cone is sewn together. When there are a sufficient number of cones, you can sew them onto a vest, hat, cape and hood. If you replace the trousers with a skirt, you will get a charming hedgehog girl. Add makeup to the baby's face - and your hedgehog is ready. By the way, the dinosaur costume is made the same way, only the cones should be larger.

Little astronaut

The basis of the clothing can be a red jumpsuit or a suit made of silver brocade - these are the two main colors for such a suit. Once you have decided on your astronaut’s outfit, you can begin creating specific costume accessories: a helmet and cylinders. And also decorate children's boots so that they look like astronaut shoes.

Let's start creating a helmet. We will make it using the papier-mâché technique. We will need:

  • big balloon round shape;
  • a lot of old newspapers, sheets of thin paper;
  • 1 tbsp. flour;
  • water and white latex paint.

A future astronaut will help you tear the paper into small strips and pieces. Mix flour and water thoroughly in a cup until a creamy mass is obtained.

We inflate a balloon larger than the child’s head and place strips of paper soaked in dough on it in even layers. The bottom of the ball remains unsealed. This remains a hole for the head and neck; it should be larger in diameter than the baby astronaut’s head.

Carefully burst the ball after the structure has completely dried and remove any rubber residue from inside. We cover the top of the helmet with white paint. Mark with a pencil and carefully cut out a window for the face. The resulting uneven edges should be sealed with white adhesive tape.

You can make fuel cylinders from two 1.5-liter bottles, wrapped in silver foil and secured with tape. We attach “tongues of fire” made of red fabric, napkins or corrugated paper to the nozzles of the cylinders.

Costumes made from waste material

Eco-design is very popular now. The most natural and environmentally friendly available materials are cellulose, paper and any of its derivatives. Rummage through the bins and look for:

  • fashion magazines;
  • maps and atlases;
  • old wallpaper;
  • wrapping paper;
  • candy wrappers;
  • colored paper;
  • cardboard (corrugated, foil);
  • old money or souvenir bills.

Paper dress made from scrap materials

Surely you have had a renovation at home, at the end of which there were pieces and rolls of wallpaper left. Over time, they became dusty on the mezzanine or in the storage room. It's time to take them out and try to breathe into them new life. Create a natural paper dress with your own hands. We make the top fitted using several turns of wallpaper around the body. We glue the paper at the back or side with tape. And you can also make a straight skirt and connect it with a bodice.

If you don’t like this option, you can sew paper cones in several rows to the old skirt. A voluminous skirt will come out. In the same way, you can lengthen the train or make additional tiers. There are many options for paper dress models:

  • A - silhouette;
  • asymmetrical;
  • from pieces of paper;
  • from paper sheets;
  • open;
  • colored;
  • tutu skirt;
  • black and white.

The good thing about paper dresses is that they can be worn more than once if you carefully cut them “along the seams” and then seal them with tape. Very simple, free and beautiful.

Fashion studios are now being created to create extraordinary outfits. Not only carnival, but also exhibition decorations are created using unusual, original materials. Fashionable Japanese designers surprise the viewer with funny dresses made of pompoms, wedding dresses from soft toys, medical gloves.

Old small ones Stuffed Toys- this is both valuable faux fur and synthetic padding, which is suitable for decorating voluminous parts and elements of clothing.

Outfit made from a piece of fabric or a large scarf

Light summer fabrics drape very gently and elegantly. Beautiful models in the style of outfits greek goddesses: the fabric runs along the back, under the arms, on the chest, the ends of the scarf cross, rise, and tie around the back of the neck.

The middle of the cut is located under the armpit, the corners are tied on the opposite shoulder or twisted under the opposite armpit, raised to the shoulder and secured with a knot. Any of the options can be diversified by adding a strap, and fasten the ends of the scarf with a hairpin or brooch. According to the proposed scheme, you can create a multi-layer model using two or three scarves, tying the products opposite each other.

The straps are decorated with wreaths of leaves. The same wreath can be placed along the hem of a skirt or along a belt. The one-piece skirt of a stylish suit is assembled from leaves from the bottom row up, overlapping. An unpleasant feature of such a product is that the leaves wither very quickly and become fragile, so such an outfit must be prepared on the eve of the show. A dark, damp and cool room is suitable for storing such a dress.

Attention, TODAY only!

For carnival, masquerade, Halloween and other fun celebrations, you can wear a funny and original alien costume. In many online stores you can purchase a ready-made masquerade outfit, but it will be very expensive.

The topic of aliens is so unexplored and diverse that you can build an alien costume from almost any available means and materials. In essence, this topic is limitless, since no one has seen aliens with their own eyes, although there are a number of contactees who contributed to the division of aliens into several groups. Considering that costumes like the character from the film “Alien” are extremely difficult to build, you can limit yourself to the most inexpensive and simple ones.

Varieties of alien costume

Most people are familiar with the so-called “little green men”, “gray aliens with big black eyes”, “aliens in shiny, silver spacesuits” and some others. To make masquerade costumes, you need to decide on the category of guests from other planets and select all the necessary elements of this image. This alien costume can be made for both children and adults. Difference children's costume- there is no need to create a frightening image of an alien, as children may be scared.

The most common image of an alien is a creature with a large, unusual head of various colors in a wide black robe, trimmed with shiny fabric of some “acid” shades.

Alien costume from a regular jumpsuit

To make it you will need construction overalls, which can be trimmed with shiny fabric. To complicate the look, you can make slits in different places of the costume into which wire structures covered with foil or shiny fabric are inserted and firmly secured. These protrusions should resemble growths on the body of aliens. To cover the back of your head, sew a loose hood onto the suit. The easiest way to make an alien’s face is to use the papier-mâché technique and paint it in the color you want. A “blank” for it can be molded from plasticine. Thin paper is laid out in pieces on this blank. To accurately follow the contours of the mask, the paper is moistened with water and PVA glue.

To obtain a durable “face”, 9-10 layers will be enough. The mask should dry for 24 hours. After complete drying, it can be painted with acrylic paint. They are highlighted in black. Holes must be made in them for the person’s eyes. The mask is secured to the head with a strong elastic band. The alien costume should be complemented by gloves and massive boots.

Game alien costumes

A silver suit for a girl, consisting of silver high boots and a short shiny dress with contrasting alien-themed inserts, will look very beautiful and impressive. A bright wig and long gloves will help complete this look. This alien costume is also suitable for children, only the children’s version does not require high boots, and the skirt should be longer. For a boy, an ordinary jumpsuit made of silver fabric and a helmet made of foil with small “antennas” are ideal.

A child wearing an alien mask will look quite interesting and creative. Of course, this image is radically different from those that will definitely be on New Year's carnival or any other children's party.

In addition, this mask is perfect for a themed party that can be organized at any time of the year. Children will be delighted with such a fun event. The alien mask is entirely a flight of fancy.

There are no rules or images here. Only what comes to mind, or will be borrowed from numerous cartoons on this topic. The World Wide Web can also help with this - there is more than one template on the Internet that will help direct your imagination in the right direction.

  7. Double sided tape.
  8. Ribbons.
  9. Ping pong balls.
  10. Stickers that glow in the dark (if desired).
  11. False eyes (you can make them from paper yourself).

In order to make an alien with your own hands, you first need to print an existing template. Then cut the template so that it is slightly larger than the mask. Next, outline the eyes and cut them out using a utility knife.

Next step: take double-sided adhesive tape and glue the template to the prepared mask. It is best to use a good tape so that it does not come off at the most inopportune moment. The details for the ears also need to be printed on green paper and cut out. Adhesive tape will help attach them to the base in the appropriate places.

Now it’s the turn of the antennas for the eyes. You need to take ping pong balls and use a push pin to pierce each of them. Then the balls are strung on a fishing line. Free end the fishing line is attached to the finished base of the product. The eyes are attached to the balls using adhesive tape.

If desired, the finished mask can be decorated with glow-in-the-dark stickers and ribbons.


Funny ways to create a mask

Cut a hole at the bottom of each segment. Attach a kebab skewer to one side. It looks like binoculars with a stick. All that remains is to decorate the mask. To do this, you can use watercolor paints, stickers, etc.

Another option. We make a cardboard mask for the head. After this, using ping pong balls and wire, pre-wrapped with string, we create antennae. The picture shows what interesting and fun models are obtained this way.


An even simpler option is a headband on which eyes, antennae, balls and stickers are attached. This version of the mask, despite its simplicity, looks great. It is perfect for the youngest children.
