Satin ribbons for layering

Skirt to create an image
Tulle skirt: easy and fast
This version of a Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year is also quite simple. The dress is based on a green skirt. If there is an ordinary one, then the work consists only in decorating it. If you do not have a skirt, you can sew it, for example, from tulle. This material is particularly light and airy.

Cape to complete the look
How to sew a suit yourself
Sewing a New Year's outfit will certainly take more time than a simple alteration of a finished dress, but you will have the opportunity to create an original and unique costume for your child. In such a costume, the girl will certainly stand out in the crowd of the same type of store dresses.
Fluffy skirt
It has already been said above that you can sew a green skirt and decorate it with accessories. There are two ways to make such a skirt.
Complement the suit top and puffy sleeves
In the first option for sewing you will need:
- green tulle (organza, nylon, tulle are also suitable);
- elastic band 3 cm wide;
- threads;
- green satin ribbon.
- Spread a piece of tulle on a flat surface;
- Step back 1.5 cm on one side and sew the upper edge of the cut with a needle with a strong thread with large stitches;
- Pull the thread so that folds form on the fabric;
- Pull the product until the skirt converges at the child's waist;
- Sew a satin ribbon belt to the finished skirt, the ends of which can be beautifully tied into a lush bow.
The second option is suitable for those who do not have special sewing skills.
Tulle skirt without sewing
Decide how long the finished product should be. Double this number and add about 5 cm. This will be the length of the strips to be cut from the fabric. The width of the ribbons should be approximately 15 cm. Having prepared the stripes, take care of the belt of the skirt. To do this, take an elastic band, the length of which is equal to the volume of the child's waist. Sew its ends and start assembling the skirt.
How to tie elastic bands
Take one strip of fabric, fold it in half and tie a flat knot around the elastic, as shown in the photo. Arrange the tapes close to each other so that there is no free space. The skirt will be ready as soon as you tie all the strips of fabric.
It is worth noting that tulle is convenient to work with because its sections do not need to be further processed or hemmed. This fabric does not fray and does not spread.
A-line dress
Dress can be layered
For sewing, you can use any green fabric. The pattern is so simple that even a beginner needlewoman can make it. The main thing is to correctly take measurements from the child and decide on the length. But such a Christmas tree dress for a girl for the New Year looks more spectacular when the length ends slightly below the knees.
A-line dress pattern
After cutting out the details of the costume according to the pattern, sew them. It does not take much time. But over the hem will have to work hard. On the inside of it, make many small loops. Insert a hard wire into them. She will support the hem. Decorate the dress as you wish.
How to make a headdress
A Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year will be incomplete if you don’t think about how to decorate the child’s head. The top of the Christmas tree is most often crowned with a star or an icicle. You can connect your imagination and realize your ideas.
Tinsel hat
One of the most unpretentious options is to wrap tinsel or New Year's rain around any hat. At the top you can place a red star. And if you additionally decorate the fields of the hat with white cotton wool, then this will create an imitation of snow.
Use tulle, capron or organza
Another easy way is veil. For this, a light, airy material of green color is suitable. Gather a piece of fabric from one end and fasten it to your hair with invisible hairpins. Additionally, you can make a decoration in the form of a star or a red bow.
Cap
You can make a cap out of cardboard or felt and decorate it with the same details that were used to decorate the costume.
The star can be made from felt or colored cardboard.
Another option: take a baby headband and wrap it with rain or a green satin ribbon. Sew or wire to it a star made from the material of your choice. The headdress is ready.
Different ideas with decorating rims
You can decorate the bezel in other ways. Handicraft techniques such as quilling or patchwork from satin ribbons (not to be confused with patchwork) are suitable here.
Tinsel on wire
But a more complex version of the headdress is the crown. To make it, you can wrap a piece of hard wire with tinsel and, bending it in different directions, give it the desired shape.
knitted crown
The following options will be within the power of real craftswomen. The work is, of course, painstaking, but the result will be unsurpassed.
A crocheted crown will stand strong if it is well starched.
Crown - the highest level of skill
To make such a crown, you first need to make a wire frame and, using it as a stencil, make a pattern from a light transparent fabric. Capron or organza will do. You should get 2 identical parts that need to be sewn together and then carefully pulled onto the wire frame. You can fix the design on the rim. Embroider the finished crown with rain, decorate with tinsel, stars and snowflakes.
A little imagination, desire, free time and skill will allow you to create a simple Christmas tree costume for a girl for the New Year.

Organza dress decoration
If you have not yet decided on the image and do not know how to decorate your daughter's dress for the new year, perhaps our option will please you or just give you inspiration.
For our look, we chose an organza dress with a plain satin bodice, which is very easy to find in children's stores. To decorate our dress, we need:
A small piece of white guipure, on which there will be large and small flowers.
Glue web. You can use a cobweb in a tape, or you can use a fabric one, it is sold by the footage.
Pearl beads of large and medium size.
Small white rhinestones on an adhesive basis.
You can get to work on turning a simple dress into a princess dress.
Carefully cut flowers out of guipure. Do this as close to the edge as possible, so they will look more neat. To do this, you can use nail scissors with sharp noses.
Straighten the top layer of the organza skirt. Spread the cut out flowers along the edge of the hem so that the large ones alternate with the smaller ones. This pattern should cover the entire edge. Once the pattern has developed, remove unnecessary elements or prepare the missing ones.
Place paper or cotton cloth on the ironing board. When working with adhesive tape, traces of it may remain on the ironing board. Prepare the iron, it should be heated to a high temperature.
Lay the skirt on the ironing board, put a glue gossamer along the edge of the hem. If the width of the flowers is greater than the width of the gossamer, lay it in two rows. Lay out a pattern of flowers on top of the cobweb.
In order for the glue cobweb to “grab” it must be ironed with a hot iron. Be careful! It is necessary to iron carefully, through a cotton fabric, while the iron should not touch the open areas of the organza.
When finished, the hem of your dress will be embellished with an applique of flowers.
We take large beads and sew them into the middle of large flowers. One or two stitches are enough for this.
Small elements of the floral pattern are decorated with glue-based rhinestones. The place where the rhinestones are attached depends on the nature of the flowers, it can be an imitation of a dewdrop or, for example, a sparkling core of a flower.
Could not decide and thought how to decorate a dress for the new year for a child? As it turned out, everything is not so difficult. The decoration of the skirt is ready, you can proceed to the bodice.
In order to decorate the bodice, we need pearl beads of different sizes. An excellent example of decorating the bodice of a dress with beads would be wedding dresses, among which you can find many decoration options using white beads imitating pearls.
One of the possible options for decorating the bodice is to completely cover it with a carpet of small beads, and sew large beads on top, which will be about 3-4 times smaller. Such a bodice will look very rich, but this painstaking work will take a lot of time.
A simpler option is to sheathe the top of the bodice with beads and embroider flowers or patterns with them over its area, which ones will depend on your imagination.
A beautiful New Year's dress for your pet is ready!
snowflake dress
So, how to decorate a dress with snowflakes for the new year for a girl? To decorate the dress we need:
Thin white felt.
Silvery round beads or glass beads.
Single white glue-on rhinestones and ribbon rhinestones.
White faux fur.
And, for example, a plain satin dress.
You can get to work.
On the edge of the hem of the dress, sew a ribbon of rhinestones. The closer you can sew the ribbon to the edge, the more effective it will look.
Place glue-on rhinestones on the bodice of the dress. How many there will be depends on your desire.
If the dress is sleeveless, decorate the armhole with a ribbon of rhinestones.
Prepare a stencil of snowflakes of any shape and size. If the dress is with a long skirt, then the snowflakes can be made larger, if not, choose a small option.
Using a stencil, cut out several snowflakes from thin white felt. On the edge, sheathe them with beads or glass beads. The work is painstaking, but not difficult. This is done with the usual “forward needle” seam. If you use glass beads, the work will go faster.
Start sewing snowflakes to the skirt of the dress only if all the snowflakes are ready. This way you can see the whole drawing.
From artificial white fur, sew a belt and sew it on the cut line of the dress. The snowflake outfit is ready!
We have offered you only two of the many possible options on how to decorate a dress for the new year for a girl to please her baby. You can take them as a basis, and then start creating!
If in fashion, as in chemistry, literature and other serious sciences, the Nobel Prize was awarded, Coco Chanel would be the first to receive it for her little black dress. His Great Mademoiselle showed 91 years ago, but the importance of this invention is difficult to overestimate even a century later: a little black dress is about comfort, versatility, and discreet elegance. Today we turn to him again to prove that the ideas of Chanel, as Vladimir Mayakovsky would say, are more alive than all the living, despite all fashionable whims.
A little black dress will be a great option for a New Year's outfit, which you can wear not only once - to the chiming clock - but also for other important occasions. This dress will be a great option for celebrating the New Year in the company of colleagues: being not too pretentious, but not too modest, it will be appropriate for this evening like nothing else (and demonstrating your taste, you know, will not be superfluous either).
In short, if you still don’t have “that very” dress, we suggest that you go in search of it right now. The most current models, and with them the kit options, are in front of you.
fabulous image
In this image, the dress is already quite decorated, so we would not dare to add any bright decorations to it. The decor of the dress can be repeated on the clutch (as we did), or you can leave it as the only accent in this image. Pay attention to the colors of the finish: they will be able to accurately suggest what shade to choose shoes, a bag and jewelry.
sexy look
A tuxedo dress in combination with such sandals evoke persistent sexual associations. The golden clutch offered here can be replaced with any other. At the same time, it is important to note that in order to maintain the balance of the whole structure, jewelry (bracelets, a brooch or, say, a mono-earring) should be on the opposite side of the bag: think about this in advance when you are going for a holiday.
Another cute mini dress, the embroidery of which also contains a hint on how best and easier to make accessories for it. The difference from the first dress is that the appliqués on it are less flashy, so by adding a pair of earrings (discreet or bright - it's up to you) on top, you most likely won't overdo it.
Classic look
The V-neckline of this black dress allows you to boldly add a choker to it. Three or four years ago, massive jewelry was at the peak of its popularity. This season, alas, it will not look as relevant - so choose jewelry with small but bright stones. Neutral (or at most golden) boats and a clutch will help to complement the image, whose shade will be in the same tone with the shades of the jewelry.
Extravagant look
The next image is a little strange, but no less successful for that. His idea is natural motifs, which are revealed in different ways through the decor on the dress and the finishing of the clutch. Red pumps and round golden earrings will help to support the eccentric of the outfit.
Elegant look
This bell sleeve dress is the easiest to style in Old Hollywood style, with stiletto heels and glittery accessories to complete the look. A similar dress can be without a fur trim along the hem, but whatever it may be, you should not overload it with unnecessary decorations: a wide sleeve is its main (and most spectacular) feature.
Emphasis on details
This simple dress, on the contrary, is best complemented with spectacular accessories. An original clutch and golden shoes in a retro style will perfectly cope with this. Simple stud earrings can complete the outfit: sometimes less is better, but better.
color accent
It would also be reckless to leave such a dress with an imitation of a shirt-front without bright accessories. Feel free to add a clutch with a bright detail to it, which can be supported inside the set by boats that duplicate the finish (in our case, it will be a bow). Necklaces or bracelets will look strange in this case, so choose small earrings.
Fans of retro looks can safely dress in a black lace dress with a black lining, complementing the image with another timeless classic of women's wardrobe - pearls. When choosing jewelry, pay attention to modern models: a classic string of pearls will make the image a deliberate imitation of retro, rather than a modernized version.

On New Year's Eve, every mother wants to see her princess as the most beautiful. Many of them think about making an outfit, as well as how to decorate a snowflake dress. In this article, we propose to understand these two points using the example of master classes and step-by-step instructions.
We make the basis
As a first step, you must take into account the fact that assembly halls in kindergartens are very small, and a very large number of people come to the holiday: grandparents, moms and dads, so it will be very stuffy in the room. Options with fur capes, dense fabrics disappear. A snowflake costume for a New Year's party consists of a white dress or a floor-length skirt with a top, white knee-highs or tights, a crown and shoes, as well as a couple of accessories, including beads, a necklace, a magic wand, and earrings.
The process of making a white dress for a snowflake costume can be seen on the example of a master class with a description.
To do this, you need to prepare materials such as tulle in two colors, white threads, white elastic, Velcro for a bandage, a zipper for a fastener and beads.
A feature of this costume is that each element of the outfit is worn separately: skirt, sleeves, top. You can sew them on if you wish.
Take a plain white t-shirt or cut out a new one. Then take the tulle and cut out a rectangle, its length is twice as long as your waist circumference. The height of each rectangle is up to 20 cm. We sew the side seams, and then we make folds and go through the machine line. The skirt is ready, we measure it on the model.
After that, we sew the sleeves of the lanterns in the same way, inserting elastic bands on both sides. Their height is about ten cm, and the width is equal to the measurements of the model. Take a white bandage and make a bandage on the child's head. After that, you will need to put on the entire outfit. Using the example of the first video, you can easily make a snowflake dress.
Crown for a princess
The following photo shows examples of making the main accessory for a snowflake costume - a crown. Such an attribute will exquisitely emphasize the whole image. But what it will be, discuss with your daughter.
On the crown must be present such elements as rain, snowflakes, sparkles, tinsel. You can decorate the crown with shiny blue stones, blue or gray beads, moonstones. The basis can be a bandage or a hoop.
Cooking accessories
With the help of various images, beautiful decorations, you can easily decorate the dress. To do this, you can embroider a belt with ready-made snowflakes, template patterns can be bought in specialized stores or found on the Internet. With these attributes, you can embroider the entire costume. Snowflakes can also be made from rubber bands. This little princess can help you. Detailed instructions in the video master classes can help you make any accessory.
For a snowflake costume, you must choose white sandals or Czechs. For little girls, you should not choose shoes with any heel, so as not to harm your health. Most often, sandals are already decorated, and Czech shoes can be decorated with fur pompoms, silver snowflakes or rain. In the photo you can see how snowflake shoes are decorated.
To decorate the head of a princess, you will need not only a crown, but also kokoshniks or hats that can be embroidered with snowflakes. Also, for decoration, you may need various bows, hairpins, beautiful elastic bands.
The neck of the princess can be decorated with beads, chains that you can make yourself from snowflakes. They can be made with your own hands from polymer clay, beads, crocheted, cut out of a plastic bottle, and also made using the kanzashi technique. If you do not want to spend money, you can buy snowflakes in specialized stores. In the video attached below, you will learn how to knit a snowflake for decoration.
