New Year's holiday for kids is associated with a fairy tale. And it is on this day that children want and can be fairy-tale characters. In this article I would like to talk about what a cowboy costume for a boy could be like.

Components

It is worth saying that this outfit can be completely different. So, if the budget is very limited, the child can simply wear jeans, plaid shirt, boots and hat. It would be good if it was also possible to choose a vest to match the color of your pants. As an accessory, you can tie a cowboy scarf around your neck. But still a good suit cowboy should consist of the following parts:

1. Leather pants and leather Vest. Alternative: leather vest, jeans and leather pants pads.
2. Plaid shirt.
3. Hat with brim.
4. Neckerchief.
5. Boots.
6. Accessories: gun, holster, belt.

Materials

So, let's create a cowboy costume with our own hands. The work must begin with the selection of materials. So, it’s ideal if you can get the skin. It’s good if it is brown, light brown or red. As an alternative, you can use leatherette or suede. However, the suit can also be entirely denim. In this case, you will need old denim pants from an adult, from which you can make a vest and cowboy pants for your little hero.

Trousers

Let's start sewing a cowboy costume. Work can start with preparing the pants. So, they are cut like regular pants. You will need two parts, of which you will need to make four, cutting along the sides along the entire length. This is necessary in order to insert fringe into the sides, which will decorate the child’s suit. It is done very simply. You need to take a strip approximately 7-8 cm wide from the appropriate fabric and a length equal to the length of your panties. The fringe is not cut completely; you need to leave room to sew it into the sides. Once it is sewn in, the pants pieces are sewn together. A belt is sewn on top. It's easier to make overlays on regular denim pants. They will be worn on the cowboy's belt. These pads look like two separate trouser legs; they are attached on the outer sides to the belt. Just like in regular pants, the fringe is pre-sewn into the side. The bottom of the legs can be made rounded to make everything look more beautiful.

Vest

The cowboy costume also consists of a checkered shirt and vest. And if there are no problems with the first item of clothing, it will not be difficult to buy such a shirt, but you will still have to sew the vest yourself. This is not difficult to do. The easiest way is to take a vest suitable for the baby’s size as a sample and cut the fabric based on it. It will consist of three main parts: the back (a single part) and two front parts (they will be the same, but mirrored). If you wish, you can add fringe along the back of the vest: cut the part into pieces and simply sew it on. You can do the same with the front parts: the fringe is sewn in at the level chest pockets. To decorate the vest, you can sew on a sheriff's star (made of golden-colored fabric).

Boots

A cowboy costume also requires shoes. Here again there are many options. If the child is very small, you can use ordinary black Czech shoes as shoes (the children's costume should be as comfortable as possible). If the child is already extremely mature, boots will be needed. Ideal if they come with pointed socks. If there is nothing suitable, you can wear black rubber boots, having previously decorated them with leather overlays. When creating a cowboy costume for a boy yourself, you can also make boots from old sneakers that are comfortable for a child to wear. So, for this you will need to sew a boot that fits completely over the shoes. For this, it is best to take suede. The boot itself will consist of two parts: the main one (which covers most of the leg) and the front one. The parts are sewn from the middle of the foot to the instep line. Shoes can be decorated using special paints by drawing a sheriff's star on them.

A cap

When preparing a cowboy costume with your own hands, you must also make sure that the child has a cowboy hat, it’s good if it’s black. It must have margins. You can either buy it in a store or make it yourself from cardboard or papier-mâché. Cap details:

1. Fields.
2. The main one, which is put on the baby’s head (must be created strictly according to the size of the child’s head).

Let's create next new Year costume cowboy. The cap is glued together at the junction of the two parts. The base is ready. Next, the fabric is glued on top. You can also decorate the hat using special paints, again drawing a regular five-pointed star there.

Accessories

What could a cowboy costume look like? Photos of kids in similar outfits are very different. After all, there is room for imagination here. So, Special attention You need to pay little attention to accessories. It is thanks to them that the suit can look original.

1. Neckerchief. It can be anything: plain or painted, checkered or striped. The main thing is that it matches the suit. It is also worth mentioning that a scarf can stand out against the background of a suit, being a bright detail that will attract attention to the child.
2. A New Year's cowboy costume also requires a pistol and a holster. If everything is clear with a toy weapon, it is easy to find and buy, then most likely you will have to sew a holster yourself. So, for this you need to take black leather. A holster is a simple pocket for a pistol, which may not even have a bottom. It is necessary to sew the fabric on the sides so that the weapon can be comfortably placed in it. This part is attached to the child’s belt with straps specially made for this purpose.
3. You also need to put a leather belt in your baby’s pants. This will be not only a detail of clothing, but also an element of costume decoration.

Decoration

As mentioned above, a cowboy costume can be very different (photos of children in similar outfits are proof of this). However, if the outfit is needed for New Year's celebration, we need to think about how it can be decorated with rain. So, it is worth saying that it is important not to overload the suit. To match the holiday, you can buy a thin golden shower and line your vest with it. If the child does not have a belt, you can tie it up with rain. There is no need to decorate this boy’s New Year’s costume anymore.

And now also a master class by Yulia Shevlyakova on how to sew DIY cowboy costume for a boy.

“What kind of costume should a child come up with for New Year, if he has already grown out of the role of a bunny or a bear cub? There aren't many options. If your 6-8 year old boy likes a cowboy theme, then a costume is just right for him. And the fastest and most inexpensive way to dress a child in a cool hero costume is to sew it yourself. This will require simple and affordable materials, about 1 hour of time and, of course, mother/grandmother’s ingenuity.

DIY cowboy costume

What you need for the costume:

• child's jeans, classic ones are best: of blue color and with scuffs;
• large check shirt;
• the child’s vest to measure her;
• 50-70 cm artificial leather(you can easily find it in fabric stores, the price is about 700 rubles per meter). Take the one that is tougher;
• scissors,
• pencil (or felt-tip pen, piece of chalk),
• needle and thread.

• Any bright bandana,
• cowboy hat (we took it from friends, it costs about 200 rubles in the store),
• belt with large buckle
• And holster with pistol.

We also had a holster, but sewing it from the same leatherette was not at all difficult. You just need to fold a triangle of leather into a little bag, sew it up along the long edge, and cut 2 parallel slits in the holster on the inside to thread the belt through.

Cowboy costume ready! Happy New Year to you and your children!

Providing for a cowboy's son for the New Year is, although not a difficult task, but still requires time and effort on the part of the parents. The main elements of the costume can be taken from your son’s wardrobe. Some toys will also come in handy. But all this will require some disguise.

A classic cowboy masquerade costume consists of the following items:

As already mentioned, the basis of a cowboy costume is ready-made trousers and a shirt from the boy’s wardrobe. To sew additional elements - linings for trousers, vests, fringes, hats - you need to stock up on the following items:

• sewing tools;
• pieces of artificial leather or suede (optional);
• pieces of suede (for fringe);
• cardboard (brown or white, gold or yellow).

We begin to make the missing parts of the costume.

Pants pads

Take the selected fabric (faux leather or suede) and fold it 4 times. The length and width must correspond to the size of the trouser leg, which will serve as the basis of the suit. Place the trouser leg on top of the fabric and trace it like a pattern, not forgetting to leave 2-3 cm for the seams.

The bottom of the lining must be rounded. At the top we make a mark along the line of the beginning of the belt and the inner seam of the trousers. We draw upward the future loops on which the lining will be held. Now you need to draw a line from the beginning of the loops to the bottom point of the inner seam.

Advice. The loops will keep the pads on the belt. You need to keep this in mind so as not to make the loops too narrow. Measure in advance the width of the belt that will be used on your trousers.

Let's put these details aside for a while and move on to the fringe. We make fringe along the entire outer length of the lining. To do this, take a strip of fabric about 6-7 cm wide and cut it along the entire length. Now we lay the fringe between two parts of one lining along the outer part and stitch them. We also connect the loops along the line of the beginning of the belt. The trouser pads are ready!

Vest

To sew a vest, you need to make a pattern. You can use a children's shirt for this. We apply it to a piece of fabric folded in half. We outline the shoulders, the side and fix the length. We finalize the pattern “by eye” and cut out the outline along the fabric.

It is necessary to make two identical parts. One of the parts must be cut in half and a neck made. Next, we fold both parts with the right sides facing each other and sew along the shoulder line and on the sides.

Advice. The vest can also be decorated with fringe on the sides or chest. For decoration, you can use a star on the chest or back.

Hat

A cowboy hat can be made from cardboard according to the diagram. If the hat is made of white cardboard, then in the future the blank should either be covered with fabric or painted. The color of the hat is preferably brown or black. The decoration for the hat will be a star made of gold cardboard.

The image of a Wild West cowboy delights boys of all ages. A suit thought out to the smallest detail will help you feel like a real cowboy this New Year.

New Year's costume ideas for boys: video

The little hooligans may not know what a Western is, but they know very well who cowboys are. Where they are, there are adventures and shooting games. The boys will not refuse such an adventure. Even if it only lasts one New Year's masquerade or themed party.

A DIY cowboy costume consists of several main parts. The material for most of them is rough skin, suede, jeans. Only at first glance it seems that it is not easy to realize the image. In fact, this is not true at all. You can make a costume with your own hands from different materials.

Cowboy costumes for boys

To make a cowboy costume, rummage through your closet and pull out:

• jeans;
• bandana;
• checked shirt;
• belt with a large buckle.

It’s good if you have a piece of suede or artificial leather. If not, then you can do without them.

Tip: If you don't have a plaid shirt, any other colored shirt will do. Be sure to tuck it into jeans.

But you can’t do without a cowboy hat. You will either have to make it out of paper, or take it from someone you know, or buy it in the fancy dress department. Almost everything you need for a cowboy costume is ready. All that remains is to cut out and sew a vest from a piece of suede or leatherette. You need to make a fringe from a long strip of material and sew it to the bottom edge of the vest.

Tip: If you don’t have leatherette, a denim vest will do. And the more worn the material, the better.

We cut out patches from pieces of leatherette and sew them onto the jeans. If the boy doesn’t have a sheriff’s badge in his toys, then cut out a star from cardboard and cover it with foil. Take your dad's belt with the big buckle.

We put it on carnival costume cowboy on our boy. From clothing, the main details are a shirt, a vest with fringe, jeans with patches. Accessories and additional details include a sheriff's badge and a belt with buckle. A toy gun in his belt, a bandana in a contrasting color around his neck, a cowboy hat, a lasso. For shoes, choose rough boots or boots.

Tip: Fringe can be used to decorate not only a vest, but also sleeves, jeans on the sides or boots.

If you have time and desire, you can make a horse for the boy. You can make a horse's head out of paper or foam rubber, paint it and attach it to a stick. Perhaps you already have such a horse-on-a-stick toy at home.

Not all girls dream of being princesses for New Year. If your daughter is fidgety, she will love a cowboy outfit. It is no different from a cowboy suit for a boy.

Jeans can be successfully replaced by a skirt or denim dress, which can also be worn with a vest. It is worth paying attention to the hairstyle. Slightly tousled braids or wavy, flowing hair will look good in a cowboy look.

Not only children, but also adults don’t mind trying on cowboy attire at a costume party. The set of clothes is no different from a child's one. Only you will have to choose a larger weapon or replace it with a knife with a carved handle. The girl's costume includes the same wardrobe details.

It's easier for adults to find suitable shoes. Is it leather or suede boots with slightly tapered toes. Modern models may already be decorated with spurs. The cowboy boot should not fit tightly to the foot. Lightly worn shoes will do. The same applies to denim clothing items. A cowboy is always looking for adventure. His clothes had long since become frayed, and his shoes were worn out.

Now you know how to easily make cowboy costumes for a boy and a girl, for a girl or for a guy. Don't forget about the mood that matches the image. Cowboys are real daredevils who are not afraid of risks and adventures. You should behave confidently and then everyone will believe that you are a real western hero.

Often there is a problem associated with choosing a costume for a carnival that a child will wear. It is especially difficult to find a costume for a boy, since in the case of girls it is obvious - Little Red Riding Hood, Snowflake, Cinderella, etc.

One option for a guy could be a cowboy costume. It’s not that difficult to make it yourself, so apply special effort you won't have to. The main thing is to maintain accuracy in the patterns and follow the instructions, which describe everything in detail. It won’t take too much time even for a novice craftswoman.

So, how can you create a New Year's cowboy costume? Simply and easily. For this you will need trousers, a shirt and a vest. In order to create trousers, you should use thick, dark-colored corduroy fabric as a base. Jeans might also work. Then you should transfer the patterns to the fabric on the wrong side. Do not forget about the seams, which should be approximately one and a half centimeters. After the pattern has been drawn, you should cut strictly along the lines and fold the future trousers so that the front side is directed inward. After this, you should sew the trousers, which will later become part of the cowboy costume. In this process, you first need to topstitch, make step seams, and then overcast the edges. After this, a middle seam is made and, again, the edges are overcast.

Then you should do the belt. In order to make it, you should carefully tuck the top of the pants so that you get a kind of drawstring, the width of which will be about three centimeters. After this it needs to be hemmed. Do not forget that you need to sew a special elastic band into the belt.

As a decorative element, special fringe should be sewn to the trousers. This must be done in the area of ​​the seams and along their entire length. You can also sew on fringe only from the knees to the bottom. The trousers that a cowboy costume should have are ready. You should move on to creating a shirt.

In order to make a shirt, you can take natural cotton fabric, dyed in bright colors or plain. It depends on the taste preferences. The beginning of making a shirt is exactly the same as in the case of trousers. First of all, you need to draw the contours using a pattern and cut out the necessary parts. Having sewn the back halves together from the wrong side, you should overcast all the seams and smooth them well using an iron. Then do the same procedure with the shelves along the side and shoulder seams.

From the same fabric you should make a facing for the neckline, fold it with the front side facing out and stitch it. After turning the resulting product inside out, iron it with an iron and sweep over all edges. The side seams on the sleeves should be stitched separately, after which they need to be sewn to the main product.

With this, the shirt that all cowboy costumes have is complete.

Making a vest is no different from the process of making a shirt, except for the lack of sleeves. Also, fringe should be sewn on the side of the seams. It is used as additional element suit.

This completes the cowboy costume for the boy!
