How to make a gingerbread man costume

In the tale of the gingerbread man no arms or legs, or even torso. It's just a ball of dough that rolls along the path, meets various animals and sings songs to them. For the puppet theater is such a bun and need, and you can do it from a regular ball. But for role-play games or play, where play real actors, need a costume that would create the desired image, but would not shy movements. Make it from the yellow cloth.

Round vest

The fabric is light, opaque and well-draped. More than any other yellow fleece. To stitch circular vest, you will need:
- polyester quilted lining;
- polyethylene tape;
paper;
pencil;
supplies for sewing.

Remove the measurements. You need to know the length of the vest from the neck to the hip line and waist circumference. Both measurements and multiply by 2. Draw a rectangle with these standards. The vest needs to be convex, so you will need the undercut. The short side, divide in half and connect the marks. The long side divide into 3 equal parts, connect the dots, lying opposite each other. These lines mark the undercut on the right and left, top and bottom. Take 2 pieces of batting. Sew both parts to make a tank top, that is, leave holes for the head and hands.

Try on the vest, adjust it on the figure, mark the line that will be sewn polyethylene tape. Pristrochite tape. To buy it, and sometimes even just to ask, you can, for example, in the furniture store. Inner layer of you ready. Take the upper part of the vest, pull at the inner layer, sew undercut. Make the top and bottom drawstring, insert the elastic band. Sew the layers together do not have. By the same token, you can sew round the vest and for the other characters – for example, for the usual turtles or teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Under the vest wear a yellow shirt or turtleneck. In fact, the vest can make a face bun – applique.

Cap

Sew the yellow fabric hat. Most suitable round skullcap. Sew better, of cotton or linen fabric. The cap should be decorated with braids – spikelets. They can be crochet from a very thick yarn or synthetic yellow twine and weave from strips of fabric. A long braid sew along the bottom of the cap, and the short has to hang. The headpiece can be made from paper, and not necessarily in the form of a cap. Enough yellow paper shelves with a picture of her ear.

May be limited to one long thick braid, sewn on the perimeter of the cap.

Sandals

The gingerbread man – a villager, the shoes should be appropriate. To weave these shoes – it is quite long and requires some skill. So weave or tie a long yellow braid. Sew Shoe covers, and hair tab coil upper surface. The layers should lie close to each other, leaving no gaps. Suit is ready, it remains to choose the appropriate color leotard or elastic Cycling pants.
