"Think, man, how you kill yourself
In a crazy race for comfort.
How you destroy everything and everything in your path...
There is a mountain or an endless ocean in front of you -
You will destroy them, but in vain! After all, you can't live without them.
You depleted the riches of the bowels, cut down the green forests,
And littered the atmosphere ... Think, man!
We cut the ice, we change the course of rivers,
We keep saying that there is a lot of work to do.
But we still come to ask for forgiveness
By these rivers, dunes and swamps,
At the gigantic sunrise
At the smallest fry.
As long as you don't feel like thinking about it,
Now we are not up to it. Bye.
Airfields, piers and platforms,
Forests without birds and lands without water.
Less and less nature
More and more environment."

Often in educational institutions thematic classes or costume shows. Their goal is to tell children that there is an ecological fashion. The children learn how to make their own costumes. waste material while respecting and appreciating manual labor. There are a lot of ideas from which you can choose an original and beautiful outfit. You just need to know the execution technology.
Making an outfit for a fairy-tale character, a superhero or a transforming robot from improvised means is really simple. It is enough to connect the imagination and not be limited to one type of material. Original items come from:
- paper (old newspapers, candy wrappers, cardboard boxes);
- plastic (bottles, disposable tableware);
- polyethylene (garbage bags, oilcloth, packing bags);
- natural materials (dry leaves, cones, dried flowers).
The main advantages of creating an outfit are the availability of materials, ease of execution. Most often, the costume is assembled literally from the garbage that can be found in every home. Among the shortcomings, one can note the fragility of products and the lack of comfort in them. It should be understood that these things are not for everyday use, but for performances or games.

Manufacturing process
Getting started, it would be useful to talk with the child about who he wants to be, what materials he would like to use the most. And already starting from his preferences, prepare the necessary funds for the manufacture of an unusual costume.
From cardboard boxes
Boxes are the perfect material for making a boy's costume. For example, it is very easy to make an image from the future - a "steel" robot.

- Head. Extra parts are cut off from the box to make a cube with three sides. On one of them, make a cutout for the face. Cover the top of the box with foil. Optionally, make a decor in the form of a small antenna (use wire, colored paper and adhesive tape).
- Torso. Trim excess parts so that the box does not have a bottom base. On the top, cut a recess for the head, on the sides - for the hands. Paste the box with foil, use colored paper and gouache to work out the decor (buttons, mini-screen, energy strips).
- Legs, hands. It is enough to put on a child a regular black or gray suit, attach several elements of foil with double-sided tape.
In addition to the robot, the following costumes for children can be made from the boxes: a knight, a dinosaur, a house, a Lego part, SpongeBob and others.

- Glue the scales to the base (you can take an old dress). Paste the bodice with small details, skirt and train - with larger elements. Arrange them randomly, imitating fish scales.
- Make a wreath. Cut out 3 flowers from a green and a blue bottle. Blue invest in green, stick. Wrap a plastic bag around the rim, straighten the free end, fold in the shape of a flower. Glue 3 bottle flowers to it.
When cutting out the details of the costume, you can easily get hurt on the edges of the bottle. This stage of work should be entrusted to an adult.

Spread the resulting fastened parts in 2 rows from the bottom up to the height of the bodice. The sides and back are made from the smooth parts of the glasses.
- Skirt. Glasses are collected in tiers and fixed with a stapler. The first tier is the widest. Closer to the waist, the skirt should narrow by reducing the number of glasses.
- Assembly. Sew the skirt to the bodice with threads. To hide the paper clips on the skirt, you can insert a whole one into each cup, fix it with glue.
If you use glasses of different colors, you can lay out a mosaic (geometric patterns, flowers, rainbows).
From old newspapers
A little imagination and free time will allow you to make a costume even from waste, for example, from unnecessary newspapers. It is easy to make a tutu out of them.
Tools:
- newspapers;

Attach the skirt to the base using glue and a stapler. If necessary, the edges of the cones can be made more textured - randomly cut out zigzags or pre-fold the newspaper with an accordion.

Costumes made from improvised materials for girls and boys do not require large financial costs and effort to make them. However, you must remember the safety rules:
- It is worth making sure that the child is not allergic to the materials of the future costume.
- Do not use sharp and dangerous objects that can dig into the skin, scratch and cause discomfort. Avoid small parts that a child can accidentally swallow.
- Before putting on a suit, you need to make sure that the glue is completely dry, and its smell has completely disappeared.

A pleasant event unexpectedly descended - a masquerade ball! You don't have the time or money to order at the atelier, run around the shops in search of original costumes! What to do?! Well, firstly, calm down, secondly, remember that we can do everything with our own hands, and thirdly, look around. What do we always have at home? Right! Plastic bottles, newspapers, trash bags, boxes. From this we will make the most original with our own hands carnival costume.
From plastic bottles
Mermaid or kikimora
The most beautiful place on a plastic bottle is the bottom. We cut a lot of them right away. They will decorate the hem of the dress, the bodice, you can glue the original crown out of them. For a mermaid or kikimora costume, we need green bottles.
After the bottoms have been cut off, you still need to cut off the necks, and then carefully and evenly cut the remains of the bottle lengthwise into three equal parts. Burn small holes in the narrow part and collect them on a string into a garland that will become a skirt. Glue, sew or staple the bottoms along the edge of the skirt.
The bodice of the dress is best made by sheathing the old T-shirt with green plastic details. But the crown can be assembled from lush feathers cut from bottles and attached to a hoop or ribbon.
flower princess
The stand-up skirt for this costume is made from a wire frame. Any thin fabric is stretched on it. This is where the difficulties end and the creative part begins. Cut out petals from bottles of different colors, collect them into flowers and attach to the skirt. Cut half-liter bottles in a spiral and attach the "serpentine" to the skirt.
Astronaut
A scrap suit for a boy can be made by simply tying two plastic bottles together and attaching them upside down to the astronaut's back with straps. And in order for our jetpack to be operational, glue red-orange patches imitating fire into the necks with your own hands.
Helmet, hat, crown
The largest plastic bottles are simply specially produced in order to make various hats for a hero, an alien, a king, a gentleman, a puss in boots, etc. out of them.
The photo shows how to make these hats. Cut out the fields from thick cardboard.
Costumes from…
leaf dress
It's only natural to go for autumn Ball in a dress from autumn leaf fall. To create such a masterpiece with your own hands, you will need little money: just a piece of fabric or an old dress, a large bag maple leaves and glue.
It is good if the leaves are a little wet. If they dry, the edges will curl up and the dress will become “shaggy”. Spray them with a little water from a spray bottle and start gluing them to the fabric.
Do this from the bottom up, overlapping the previous row. Try to endure color scheme. You can align the leaves with a warm iron, stroking them through damp gauze.
This dress is very beautiful, but not durable. If you're not going to wear it to the ball right away, mist it lightly every 4-5 hours. cold water so that moisture does not get on the fabric.
Package dress
Take garbage bags in two colors, cut them into one continuous sheet, and build a suit of ... rain, for example.
Dresses from improvised means are amazing. Few people know that packages, even the largest ones, are glued so tightly that they can be inflated like Balloons. Inflate 15-20 bags and attach them to long skirt in several rows. Such a gorgeous princess has never been seen before.
On the contrary, you can not inflate the bags, but cut them into a fringe, and then sew them on with lush red flounces.
newspaper printing queen
If you have piles of old read newspapers waiting for the next repair, it's time to put them to work. See what royal dress print ladies can be made by hand. All you need to do is take a printed sheet, fold it in half for rigidity, roll a bag out of it and attach it to the skirt in any way. The assembly order is the same as in the autumn costume.
Dinosaur and cowboy from boxes
A great dinosaur costume can be made from boxes. You can fasten the parts with a stapler, glue or tape. It requires imagination and engineering.
Another carnival costume for a boy is a cowboy on a horse. The muzzle of a horse can be made from the same plastic bottles. It’s a pity that it’s difficult to dance in such outfits, and you won’t invite a girl to a waltz, but a gift for best suit secured.
alien costume
The most profitable outfit is the alien dress. Yes, because no one knows what he really looks like. Invent what you want, cut, glue, draw with your own hands everything that fantasy allows. To indicate that you are wearing an alien costume, simply attach an antenna to your head and paint your face green.

In addition to waste material, in absolutely any house you can find old things that no one else uses, but it's a pity to throw them away. Items such as old gloves, boots, dresses, leather belts and many other materials at hand can be easily transformed into a unique and inimitable costume on children's competition. It is enough just to turn on your boundless imagination and surrender to creative impulses. In addition, to the process of creating a carnival festive costume you can attract the little heroes themselves. It will be very exciting and useful for children to do applied art.
Cuts of old tulle or scarves can be used as the basis for creating fairy wings. The frame for such wings for a girl can be made from durable metal wire. Also, very original and unique decorations can be made from plastic bottles. These accessories can complement the costume of a fairy fairy.
Slightly decorated old accordion boots are great shoes for a sea pirate. An old wide belt with a buckle, large buttons and a large feather in a hat are also a suitable addition to a pirate costume. Help the boy make one of the elements of a pirate costume with his own hands.
Very beautiful costumes can be made from different packaging materials, candy wrappers, napkins, newspapers, magazines, stationery. Some needlewomen can knit from plastic bags very fashionable dresses and stylish hats. From ordinary garbage bags or plastic bags from the store, you can create polyethylene yarn and use a hook to knit original clothes - both for a sophisticated fashionista and for children.
Workshop on making a dress for a party using CDs
We bring to your attention a simple and quick master class on making a bright and unusual dress for costume party. According to this description, we offer two ways to create a dress from improvised materials:
- Overlaying CDs on the basis of an evening dress;
- Creating a dress from the CDs themselves.
So, the fastest and easiest way to make unusual dress next. Take the old and no longer necessary for you matching dress and start decorating it. The method and principle of decoration can be absolutely any. You can decorate only the bottom of the dress, shoulders or waist area. The principle of fixing CDs is as follows: thread the ribbon through the hole in the disk and sew it to the base of the dress.
The second option for making a dress is a little more complicated. Here you will need to create an entire dress from old CDs.
For work you will need the following materials:
- Lots of satin ribbon;
- Lots of old CDs;
- Decorative elements for the dress.
Start creating a dress from CDs. Cut off a piece of satin ribbon. The size of the piece of ribbon should correspond to the radius of the CD, multiplied by four.
Thread one end of the ribbon through the hole in one disc. And the second through the hole of the other and tie the ends. In this way, form a vertical row of your dress.
Now tie the vertical rows with other pieces of satin ribbon in a horizontal direction. Then you can tie more disks on this frame. Also, with the help of ribbons, fix the decorative elements to the base of the dress.
After such simple manipulations, you got an unusual dress made from improvised materials.
