For the Bird costume, the author of the master class used tulle in 5 colors - it’s very impressive: sky blue, turquoise, light blue, blue, black. Each of the colors in this tutu is repeated twice - we are actually making two layers of fabric in our tutu. You can sew two skirts and combine them afterwards, or after sewing all the seams, fold the skirt in half.

Cut off the required length - from the waist to the level of how long you want the skirt to be.

We arrange the fabric by color.

Make a stitch at a distance of 1 cm from the edge. When a piece of one color ends, place another next to it and continue stitching. So until the end.

We do gathering on one and the second skirt.

We put them on top of each other - you can mix the colors - it’s more beautiful.

If we used a lot of tulle, the number of layers of the skirt for the Bird costume may increase. In this case, of course, the skirt will only benefit - it will be more magnificent.

We fasten all the layers of the skirt.

We sew them together.

We cut the elastic band to the width of the girl’s waist, and sew the edges into a belt. We begin to secure it to the skirt.

Then we sew it on.

You can create such a magical image of a Bird in a costume for a girl with your own hands! The happiness in your daughter’s eyes from seeing a costume is more valuable than the effort and time spent on creating it. The admiring glances of others will bring you joy. Happy crafting!

Very soon we will celebrate International Bird Day. Help your child find out what kinds of birds exist, teach him how to make crafts and costumes for winged creatures.

Bird Day - scenario


After familiarizing yourself with it, it will be easier for parents to come up with a costume for their child, and teachers will learn what kind of games and cognitive tasks can be included in the event program.

The hall is decorated accordingly. You can put it up and decorate the walls and windows with branches to create a forest atmosphere. There are many songs about birds. The teacher turns on one of them, and the children enter the hall to the music.


They are dressed in matching costumes. Someone imagines a woodpecker, a cuckoo, a dove, a sparrow, a swan.

The presenter tells riddles, and the answer will be the character of some child. Children must find out and answer which bird is meant.

The next competition sounds like “Bird Names”. The presenter asks questions, the guys must guess a specific bird. Here sample list questions:

  1. Why was the cuckoo called that way (because it makes the sound “cuckoo”).
  2. What action influenced the fact that the group of birds was called sparrows (these birds eat grain and seeds and tried to feast on them where people were processing the crop. Therefore, the workers shouted “Beat the thief!”).
  3. Why is the magpie called white-sided (because it has white sides).
  4. That's why the bird was nicknamed pika (it sounds like it's squeaking).
The next activity will allow the children to exercise. Therefore, include it in your script for Bird Day. For this competition you will only need:
  • buckets;
  • baskets;
The game is called “Feed the Birds”.

The containers are placed at a certain distance. Children take turns hitting them with a small ball. Each participant is allowed three attempts. For one hit, 1 point is assigned, at the end of the competition the results are summed up, and the winner is selected.

The next task is intellectual. It is necessary to prepare cards with photographs of birds and drawings of food for them. In addition to this, you also need to prepare incorrect cards, which will show what birds cannot eat. For example, salt, black bread.

Two cards will show millet and simple. Children should put photographs of a waxwing, sparrow, siskin, bunting, and goldfinch on this loose food. Since these birds are very fond of this cereal.

Children will put photographs of waxwings and bullfinch on cards with images of elderberry, rowan, and bird cherry. These birds love these berries.

On the seeds of melon and watermelon you need to place a nuthatch, tit, and woodpecker. And next to the dry branches of nettle, quinoa and burdock, place the bullfinch, goldfinch, tit, and siskin.

And sunflower seeds are very fond of nuthatches, tits, bullfinches, and sparrows.

The next game is active, called “Bird Meeting”. Children in feathered costumes are called up. One guardian of the birds is selected. Others at this time must resolve important issues at their meeting. As soon as a stranger appears near the group, the guard must give a voice, imitating the singing or cry of the very bird whose costume he is wearing.


On Bird Day kindergarten the scenario may include the proposed calm and active games, as well as others.

How to quickly sew a woodpecker costume for Bird Day?


To do this, you don’t have to be an experienced dressmaker; you can make it in a couple of hours, using an easy idea.


To make such a costume, take existing clothes as a basis. These are black trousers and a turtleneck or T-shirt of the same color. You will also need:
  • light red fabric;
  • white thick fabric;
  • red butterfly bow;
  • seven red buttons;
  • threads;
  • scissors;
  • needle.
Cut out the breast from thick white fabric, use scissors to make 7 slits in it, these loops must be overcast. But if the fabric is like drape or fleece, you don’t have to do this.


Fold the white canvas in half and draw a semicircle at the bottom. Cut it out using a zigzag motion.


Draw a template in the shape of a cone or sharp triangle. Place it on the front side of the wings and trace. Color the space between these shapes with a black marker, leaving the triangles white.

To make the woodpecker costume further, these wings need to be sewn to the sleeves of the T-shirt and the back of its neck. The child will put on black boots on his feet, and a hat should be sewn on his head. Thick knitwear is suitable for this product. You can use leggings or an old sweater. As you can see in the pattern, the cap consists of four wedges. In this case, three must be cut from red fabric, and the fourth front one must be cut from black.

Cut out eyes from white fabric, paint over the pupils with a black marker or sew on buttons.


Make the beak from a folded sheet of cardboard, which is painted over or covered with brown or gray fabric.

DIY sparrow costume for Bird Day

It will also come in handy on International Bird Day. There are easy options for making this outfit.


For him take:
  • T-shirt;
  • brown fabric;
  • beige and dark gray tulle;
  • an elastic band.
Manufacturing instructions:
  1. Cut the T-shirt to create a vest shape. From tulle, cut ribbons 5 cm wide, stitch each in the middle, simultaneously gathering them together.
  2. You can sew these ribbons onto a rectangle of fabric and make wings by tying the sewn ribbons around the neck. Or sew them together, and only then sew them to a T-shirt vest.
  3. For the skirt, take a rectangular fabric. The top needs to be folded twice and stitched. Thread an elastic band here, measured around the girl's waist. At the bottom, the skirt is hemmed and decorated with a lighter strip of tulle.
If you only have brown fabric, use it to make a sparrow costume as well. To do this, you need to sew a sleeveless vest, cut out two wings and a tail. The bottom and each feather are marked using a stitch lighter than the fabric.


The hat is made in the form of a cap with a visor, you can take a ready-made headdress suitable color. Fluffy shorts should be gathered at the bottom with an elastic band.


If you need to quickly make a sparrow costume, then put a brown skirt on the girl, and trousers of the same color on the boy, which are tied at the bottom or elastic bands are inserted here. You can sew a light lace collar onto a white turtleneck or tie a frill, or quickly sew wavy wings from brown fabric.


All that remains is to make a sparrow mask. For it you will need the following materials:
  • colored white paper;
  • glue;
  • cardboard;
  • ruler;
  • scissors;
  • pencil;
  • rubber.
Take white paper and fold the sheet in half. Draw a circle on one side and a circle inside for the eye. Draw feathers on the outer edge.


Unfold the mask and try it on your child. At this stage, you can adjust something. Now you need to put this template on brown cardboard and cut out the base of the sparrow mask from it.

Draw an equilateral triangle on the cardboard, leaving an edge for gluing this part to the mask. Cut out the beak and bend it in the places marked with dotted lines on the diagram.


You need to glue paper on top of this blank. light brown. Using glue, attach the beak to the mask.


You need to make small holes on the 1st and 2nd sides of this part, stretch an elastic band here and tie its edges.
If you want to make a colorful bird costume, then take next master class for service.

Prepare:

  • pleasant to the touch fabric;
  • bright rags;
  • for ties - soft ribbons;
  • matching threads.
On a base fabric that will fit comfortably against your baby's body, draw two triangles with a semicircular edge.


Sew the edges of these blanks. Make feathers from bright scraps, the height of these parts is 5 cm. But it is most convenient to cut strips of fabric, making their edges wavy.


Place the prepared strip on the base of one wing, on the bottom row, and sew it on. You will do the same with the second wing. Gradually moving up, attach other decorated colored ribbons.


To connect these two pieces, sew a strip of fabric on top, it should be long enough for the child to tie these wings around his neck. Sew the remaining feathers onto the remaining free upper part of the wings.


Using this pattern, you can sew an outfit for almost any bird for the Bird Day holiday. You just need to take scraps of the appropriate color. If you are making a sparrow costume, then use pieces of brown and gray fabric.

The same goes for the mask; the corresponding colors will help you make it for different birds. Here are the materials from which you will assemble this part of the costume:

  • felt;
  • rubber bands;
  • thread
To ensure the mask is the correct size, carefully place a rectangle of paper towel on your child's face. Determine where the slots for the eyes will be, what length and width this part should be.

Transfer the pattern to the fabric and cut it out.


You will need two such blanks to place the triangular nose cut out of felt between them.


Mark the elastic according to the size of your child's face. If it is thin, tie knots at both ends. Insert these places into the sides of the mask. Sew along the edges.


If you want to decorate it, then you can cut out the same leaves from green and blue felt as in the sample in the photo. On Bird Day in kindergarten or school, it’s quite possible to put on children junior classes similar masks.

Of course, how can you do without themed crafts on such a day? They can decorate the venue of an event, give it to each other, or take it to a competition.

Making crafts for Bird Day!

To make a bird in a nest, take:

  • colored paper;
  • balloon;
  • thick brown threads;
  • paper napkins;
  • PVA glue;
  • scissors.
To make a winged creature, roll small and large balls from a napkin, tie them with threads of the same color to secure them. Glue the resulting head and body to each other, cut oval feathers from colored paper and use glue to attach them to the future bird.


From colored cardboard you need to cut out the paws, beak and eyes for the birds. While the glue dries, start making a nest for this character. To do this, you need to wrap the inflated balloon with threads. It is pre-lubricated with glue.

When the yarn dries, the ball is pierced with a needle, and the filament blank frozen in this position is cut into two halves.


Place straw or yarn similar to this material into the resulting nest. You can use loose satin ribbons. Tie the nests on ropes and hang them on trees, which you also made yourself.


This way you can decorate the room where Bird Day will be held in kindergarten.

You can also invite the children to make these birds, and then perform a small performance with the participation of birds.


First take:
  • cotton pads;
  • wooden skewers;
  • glue;
  • plastic eyes;
  • scissors;
  • colored paper.
To make one bird, you need to take four disks, one of which is cut in half. Place a wooden skewer between two whole cotton pads, gluing these elements together.

Cut out a beak from colored paper, glue it and eyes onto the face. Attach the halves cotton pads like the wings of a bird. Let children decorate their creations with colored ribbon.

To hang the bird later, insert a piece of ribbon of the appropriate size between the two blanks. Sew these parts together on the wrong side, leaving a small space free at the bottom of the tail. Turn the bird through it, straightening the corners with a skewer or pencil.


Stuff the feathered bird through this edge with padding poly, sew up these places hidden seam. Using a thread and needle, embroider the bird's eyes and attach the wings using a decorative stitch.


Sew a button onto the tip of the tail of the craft, after which the bird you made with your own hands is ready.


You can also use such creations to decorate your party venue. Prepare for it in advance, include interesting quizzes and games for children in your Bird Day celebration scenario. Help the children fall in love with these animals, teach them how to protect and feed them during the cold season.

The following video will help you quickly make a black crow mask. The idea will be useful not only for International Bird Day, but also for theme party, matinee in kindergarten or for staging a play.

A do-it-yourself titmouse costume for a girl is an excellent alternative to the more common carnival children's images. The tit bird is elegant and bright - in a yellow-blue dress, with wings and a bird mask. In this outfit, your little one will definitely not go unnoticed.

Selecting materials

The final look and comfort of the costume will depend on what materials you use for the titmouse costume. Outfits made from poor synthetic fabric are cheap, but they stick to the feet, become electrified and can cause irritation to the child’s skin. Then, instead of joy, he will receive complete grief from the holiday.

For the chest of a tit bird, you can use plush or fleece that imitates short plumage; for a skirt, elegant organza or tulle is suitable. The wings and mask are beautifully made from thick, bright felt that holds its shape well. You may also need thick cardboard from which to make your bird's beak.

As for the shades, let's pay attention to the tit in nature - this bird has a yellow belly and a “tie”, a head and wings of black color, shimmering blue. Therefore, the titmouse costume will resemble a real bird if you take the main outfit yellow color, for a girl, a dress or skirt with a T-shirt would be preferable. Supplement it with blue or blue wings, and you will get a real titmouse.

Dress

If you don't know how to sew well or don't have extra time, the easiest way to make a titmouse costume is to take a ready-made bright yellow dress. However, there are other options that are not very time-consuming. For example, you can take a yellow T-shirt and make a skirt from bright tulle. You can choose a hard one that stands up and keeps its shape well - the skirt will turn out to be cheerful and playful, like a tutu. And from soft euro tulle you can make a lighter fluffy skirt, which will create a romantic image, and then such a skirt can be used in other outfits.

To make a skirt, measure the child's waist and measure the length of the future skirt. Using these measurements, cut 4 pieces of tulle so that the skirt is not see-through. Set your machine to the longest stitch length and sew along the edge of each piece individually. If you sew by hand, simply thread the edge of the cut, as they say, “bait” it. Then pull the thread at one end to create a gather. Straighten all the folds so that they are even. Now stitch over the folds with a shorter warp stitch to secure the gather. Do this with each cut.

Measure a piece of wide satin ribbon for the belt - waist circumference plus 30 centimeters on each side for tying a bow. Place all the pieces of tulle on top of each other, stitch so that they become one. Place on top of the cut satin ribbon and pin it to the tulle with pins. Fold the free edge of the ribbon over to the other side and pin it again. Sew the waistband to the skirt and it's ready. Due to the long ends of the belt, you can easily tie it around your child's waist.

Wings

The next step in creating a titmouse costume with your own hands is the wings. There are many options here, but we will highlight a few of the simplest and most beautiful ones.

For the first one you will need a blue bolero with short or long sleeves. You can sew long pieces of shiny organza in blue shades onto the sleeves - the wings are ready.

The second option is to sew wings from fabric and felt. To do this you will need a piece of any fabric of blue color for base and felt different shades blue. Let the child extend his arms to the sides, and you measure the distance between the wrists. This will be the width of the wings. Cut a semicircle from the fabric, the base of which is the same length as your measurement. The diameter of your semicircle can be made according to the child's measurements from shoulder to waist. Sew elastic bands or ribbons to the corners to tie the wings on the wrists.

Next, cut out many long oval pieces from felt - they will imitate feathers. Sew these feathers onto the base with an overlap. Sew the finished wings to the collar of the dress, tie them on your hands, and your titmouse can take off.

Another option is to sew a blue feather boa on a similar fabric base around the edge - it will look very much like a bird.

Mask for titmouse costume

Measure the circumference of the child's head, add 3-4 centimeters for overlapping gluing. Cut a strip of cardboard this length. Cut out two triangles from the same cardboard, glue them along the long edge to make the beak three-dimensional, and glue the base to the middle of the cardboard strip. Connect the strip into a circle. Cut out two eyes from cardboard and stick them on tape. Color the blank and you can put it on your head.

The second option is to make a mask out of felt. Cut out two blanks of glasses and a nose in the shape of a drop from felt. Glue the nose to the middle of the glasses, glue the second blank of glasses on top. Insert an elastic band around the edges. The edges of the mask can be stitched for reliability and decorated with feathers or bright pieces of felt in other colors.

Details

To complete the titmouse costume for a girl, you can wear yellow knee socks or leg warmers and matching shoes under the dress. You can also add makeup to your face - for example, draw blue wings on your cheeks.

A titmouse costume will help your daughter stand out from the crowd. The image of a bird, which symbolizes the arrival of winter with its appearance, would look appropriate on children's party. How to make such a costume? Read about it below.

Prefabricated version

The image of the titmouse should be based on the color contrast of blue and yellow. And since any girl wants to wear a dress to a matinee, she needs to choose clothes of a festive style in the chosen color scheme. The titmouse costume will be made from loose blue dress. It should be made of light fabric so that when moving it creates the illusion of flight. On top of this dress you need to wear a yellow corset. If a girl doesn’t have such an element in her wardrobe, then you can replace it with a beautiful sleeveless blouse. The main thing is to maintain the right harmony so that the top is not too yellow. If you still haven’t found the optimal combination, you can complement the look with another blue layer. It will turn out very realistic - the bottom and back will be blue, and the stomach will be yellow. So, the do-it-yourself titmouse costume is almost ready, all that remains is to make the headdress. To do this you will need to take blue hat and sew a yellow fur trim onto it. You need to make a cone-beak out of papier-mâché or just cardboard. Now all that's left to do is glue the eyes to the hat. If desired, you can decorate the bird's head with black fur.

Costume for a matinee

This option is similar to the previous one, but the only difference is that it will have to be sewn and not assembled from existing clothes. To make a titmouse costume you will need yellow and blue fabric. First of all, you need to sew a circle skirt from blue material. You can choose yellow fabric as a lining. Now let's move on to making the top. We sew a yellow vest using a regular rectangle pattern. You need to leave holes for the arms in the side seams. The sleeves will be blue and tiered. They will look original if the edge of each tier ends in a wave, symbolizing feathers. Remaining It will consist of three parts. The right and left will be yellow, and the center will be blue. All that remains is to attach the beak and sew on the eyes.

Funny titmouse

This costume is easy to make. To make it you will need corduroy shorts. They should be worn over white tights. It is advisable to pair them with a turtleneck of the same color. A yellow vest will help make the suit recognizable. In order for the bird's image to look winter-like, you will need to trim some parts of the costume with fur, for example, the legs of the shorts and the perimeter of the vest. The only thing left to do is to cut out two semicircles from corduroy or velvet, the length of which should be equal to the length of the child’s arm from wrist to shoulder. These parts should also be trimmed with fur, and you can also make an applique of stripes in the middle of the wing. The wings will be attached to the arms using rubber bands. They need to be sewn on at least three. The titmouse costume is almost ready. All that remains is to make a fur hat, and just below the top of the head you need to sew black fur. A cardboard beak and paper eyes should be attached to the front of the headdress.

Titmouse in ruffles

This image is incredibly feminine and delicate. It will suit absolutely any girl and even a young woman. It consists of a skirt, top and bolero. Sewing a titmouse costume for a girl is a labor-intensive process. Let's start with the skirt. To make it you will need a piece of fabric and a wide elastic band. We cut the material along the bias into strips 10, 20 and 30 cm long. Now they need to be processed on both edges with a zigzag stitch or using an overlocker. On one side, lace should be sewn to each strip. Now you can assemble the skirt. We sew frills to the wide elastic band in layers. The yellow top also needs to be decorated with lace. To do this, thin strips of a beautiful frill of the same color as the decorative trim of the skirt should be sewn into the seams of the product. You need to make a bolero from blue fabric. To prevent it from slipping off, you should definitely sew elastic bands on the wrists, and ties at the neckline. The collar and sleeves should be trimmed with lace.

If desired, you can make a shirtfront. It is cut on the bias from yellow fabric. Its edges must be overlocked, then lace must be sewn to one of the sides. This decorative element must be attached to the collar of the bolero. All that remains is to make the hat. To do this, you need to find a matching headdress, sew a small veil and a few feathers onto it.
