Pattern New Year's costume bunny (sizes 98 – 122)

A carnival bunny costume must include long ears and a fluffy round tail!

We suggest you sew a comfortable hat with ears, simple mittens, and a ponytail that can be attached to any clothing.

Required material

Sewing a bunny costume for a boy with your own hands is a fun activity for parents and kids. Initially, you need to completely think through the outfit. It is recommended to first develop a sketch.

Soft fabric is suitable for making. Choose a color from snow-white to grayish-blue. You also need to stock up on satin fabric or fur to make a tail and decorate the ears.

To save time and money, you can use terry pajamas or thermal underwear in the desired color. If the suit is made for a girl, it requires a full satin skirt.

Where to begin

You should start creating a hare costume with your own hands after thinking through the image. Immediately plan the concept of the outfit: what components it will consist of, what colors will be used and how warm the main material will be.

Decide on the fabric and its size: a baby bunny costume will require less material than an adult child’s outfit.

And if you are preparing a New Year's look for a girl, and it involves a full skirt, you will need even more fabric for sewing.

To more accurately estimate the sizes, we advise you to immediately find patterns for New Year's costumes for boys and girls. It is not always possible to sew a suit “by eye”, but ready-made patterns tailored to your child’s parameters will allow you to avoid mistakes in the process of cutting and creating a suit.

Also, do not forget that a carnival bunny costume must include several mandatory details: protruding ears (we will discuss options for creating them later) and a soft tail.

Tip: if you have chosen a fabric that does not resemble wool, we recommend using elements of fur or cotton wool for the collar, sleeve edgings and panties. It is better to choose white materials, as bunnies turn white in the winter season.

Perhaps the best way to create a New Year's costume on such a theme would be to sew it using faux fur. Then you will have a uniform and fairly warm outfit, although in this case it is important to take into account how actively your child will spend his time: if competitions and dances are planned at the holiday, it is advisable to choose lighter fabrics.

Alternatively, you can use fur in limited quantities. For example, sew a vest that can be removed if necessary. An excellent material for the main suit would be knitwear and velor. These fabrics will make the child feel comfortable.

A bunny costume for a girl can be made in the form of a separate skirt and blouse, a dress with a themed decor, or a jumpsuit. A do-it-yourself bunny suit for a boy can be made one-piece or divided into shorts, a jacket and a vest.

New Year's bunny costume patterns for boys and girls may not even be different.

Advice. If you have chosen a “universal” outfit, complement the suit with decor that will highlight a girl’s or boy’s look.

It is better to make a do-it-yourself bunny costume for a girl in light, delicate colors with colored accents: pink or red bows, inserts of beads or beads, etc. Unlike the hare costume, the image of the boy hare can be darker (the most popular color is gray). This outfit can be decorated with inserts made of colored fabrics (for example, sew pockets with a checkered pattern) or a tie.

Carnival bunny costume: material, size and how to complement the look

In our project we used felt in three colors: white, as well as some gray and pink.

Felt is thick felt of varying thicknesses. It is great for a variety of crafts, has a smooth edge that does not fray, is flexible and holds its shape well.

In craft stores you can buy felt in rolls or sheets. The most common size is 20x30 cm.

The hat, mittens, and tail are sewn from white felt. For the hat with ears you will need four sheets of white felt, and one sheet each for the mitts and tail. The hat pattern is designed for a head with a girth of 55-56 cm. This size can be suitable for both children, so do adults. If you need a hat for your head with a girth of 53-54 cm, you can cut out the details of the hat without seam allowances. You will also need one sheet of pink and one sheet of light gray felt.

To complement the bunny look, sew or take a ready-made white vest, shirt or golf shirt, and pin the tail with a safety pin to white trousers or a skirt.

So, let's sew a carnival bunny costume!

Printing patterns and cutting

Download the pattern file and print it on A4 sheets. Make sure your printer is set to print mode "actual size", "100%", and not "scale to fit". In the Russian-language program, the option “real size” is possible. Cut out all the pieces.

Cut out the details of the hat with a 1 cm allowance on all sides except the bottom edge. Cut out the ears, cheeks and nose without allowances.

WHITE FELT

• Two mirror parts of both halves of the hat
• Two identical parts of large ears
• Two mirrored cheek details
• Two rectangles for mitts, each of which has a width equal to the circumference of the palm and a length equal to the desired length of the mitts.
• Rectangle for tail 10x24-25 cm

GRAY FELT

• One common detail of cheeks and nose

PINK FELT

• Two identical parts of small ears
• One nose detail
• Two ovals for palms

Progress

Sew pink small ears onto large white ears.

Sew the back parts of the hat. Sew the front parts. Baste the darts, baste the center seam and try on the hat. Once the shape is finalized, close the darts and open the center seam.

Stitch the white cheeks and nose onto the gray backing as shown in the photo.

Stitch the spout piece along the center front of the hat, aligning along the bottom edge.

Pin the ears onto the front piece. Pin the back of the hat on top. Stitch.

Cut out the mitt rectangle as shown in the photo. Cut the second rectangle as a mirror image. Stitch the pink palm detail in the middle of the lower half of the mitts.

Sew the side seam, leaving a thumb hole about 5cm long. Place the seam allowances to the side and baste with a blind stitch. Turn it inside out.

Fold the rectangle for the tail in half and stitch along the bottom edge.

Cut into strips as shown in the photo, not reaching the edge 1 cm.

Roll and staple by hand.

The carnival bunny costume is ready!

Making Bunny Ears

It is necessary to cut out one piece from a light shiny material, which will serve as decoration for the ears. Then two parts are cut out from dense fabric - non-woven fabric, plush, faux fur. The length of the ears should be 30 cm, width - 10. We make a slight rounding at the top. We narrow the ears at the bottom, leaving a width of 6-7 cm. This edge will be sewn to the cap. We must not forget that it is necessary to leave 1-1.5 cm of seam allowance. Two pieces of dense fabric are sewn together and ironed. A wire is inserted along their edge, thanks to which the ears can be bent to the desired position.

With the help of wire they can become vertical, bent down or in different directions. Thanks to such ears, the bunny costume will be unique and unusual. Then the material is turned right side out. Cardboard is placed inside. Decorative fabric is sewn on top of the dense material. Everything is ironed. The bottom of the ears is folded 0.5 cm to the wrong side. The rim is threaded through the resulting holes. The details of the ears are attached to the rim using invisible stitches.

Ears

For production you will need:

• soft plush fabric: velor, velvet, plush;
• pink material: satin or satin;
• hair band;
• wire;
• thread and needle;
• glue;
• scissors.

The work of making ears does not require any special skills, but you need to be patient and be careful.

Making a hare costume

First of all, let's define the main elements of character.

• Ears and a tail are a must, without them our character will be unrecognizable.
• As for color, in addition to traditional white, gray, blue, pink are also used, but diluted with snow-white inserts.
• Another characteristic feature of the hero is softness and fluffiness. This can be achieved using appropriate fabrics (fur, velor, fleece, knitted velvet, etc.)
• The rabbit's favorite treat is carrots. It can be used as an accessory.

Costume base

Let's start sewing a bunny costume with our own hands from the base - a sports kit.

Of course, first it would be a good idea to check your existing wardrobe. Perhaps you will select suitable clothes from those that you already have.

And we will tell you how you can easily and simply sew such a set for a bunny costume with your own hands.

You will need:

• Soft fabric (footer, velor, knitted velvet, fleece). With a canvas width of 150 cm, you will need a cut equal to approximately twice the height of the child
• Fur for finishing, 20 cm
• Threads, needles, scissors
• Sewing machine
• Elastic band, 1 m
• Decorative elements (optional)

Fold the prepared cut in half. Cut out all the parts for the bunny costume in duplicate with your own hands. The pattern will require the following measurements: chest circumference + 10 cm, hip circumference + 10 cm, trouser length, sleeve length, back length, hood height.

Sewing trousers consists of the following stages:

• Sew the bow-seat seam
• Turn the product inside out and sew the side seams with pockets
• Press the seams
• Tuck up the waist and bottom of the panties
• Insert rubber band

Sewing a hoodie:

• Sew shoulder seams and press
• Connect the sleeves to the main part
• Sew the side seams
• Assemble the hood from two parts, tuck the front edge
• Connect the hood to the armhole
• Process the bottom of the sleeves and the main part

It should look something like this:

A very convenient set for both sports and home entertainment. But, alas, completely different from a festive outfit. So we need to continue working further.

Add long ears and a bib

Prepare four parts according to the template. You can make two of the main tone material and two contrasting ones for the internal surfaces. Gather the ears and baste them to the hood.

The result could be like this. It’s also not very elegant yet.

Let's add a beautiful fur bib. It is better to manually sew it directly onto the blouse.

Much more interesting now.

Let's do the tail and paws

Cut a fur circle of approximately 15-18 cm and tie it with a thread and a needle along the circle line. This will be the tail.

It is better to make rubber pads for the hands; the baby may feel hot in the mittens. Prepare small oval pieces the size of your palm and sew elastic fasteners on the back side, one for the wrist and two for the palm.

Shoes can simply be trimmed with a strip of fur.

How to make bunny ears with your own hands: using fabric to create an accessory

You can make bunny ears for a boy or girl with your own hands. The simplest and most affordable way is to sew from small pieces of fabric. The very diagram and model of hare ears can be completely different. You can form ears with protruding directions, you can lower them down.

In the case where you need the density and elasticity of the animal's limbs, you should choose the right techniques and methods for creating ears. To give the hare's ears the necessary rigidity, you will need a fairly dense material and two wires of equal length, preferably made of aluminum alloy. Bunny ears sticking up or in different directions are best created using three parts. The front part of the ear is formed from white fabric material, the back part is from the same fabric from which your entire carnival costume is sewn. Between them it is necessary to place a part that will match in size with the parts of the hearing aid, but it must be cut out of very dense fabric, such as drape or cloth.

One of the wires should be fixed to the central part of this part. Thanks to this, you can bend at the angle of inclination you like.

Having cut out all the necessary parts of the ear, connect two of them with the front side inward, then you need to sew them, turn them inside out and insert the third part - the frame - into the resulting oblong bag. The hare's ear is ready, it is advisable to attach it to a headband, which can be disguised on a hat in the folds of the fabric. The headband can be decorated with a satin ribbon or silver tinsel if it differs too much from the color of the carnival costume itself.

You can also sew animal ears that will hang down freely. You only need two fabric pieces. Sew them together with right sides facing inward. Turn the design right side out through the unsewn piece of fabric. The resulting bunny ears can be sewn onto the cap of a carnival costume or simply onto a ribbon.

Sunny bunny

Your baby will look very unusual in a homemade sun bunny costume. Any top or bottom will work for this look. But they should be bright, preferably yellow.

For decoration it is possible to use various shiny materials: rain, sparkles, rhinestones, beads and other colorful elements.

The main thing is not to overdo it, because additional jewelry should not rub the skin or be too heavy.

How to sew a bunny tail with your own hands

Materials for work:

• fabric to match the suit or fur;

• cotton wool or padding polyester for stuffing;

Draw a circle of the required length on thick cardboard and transfer the pattern to the fabric. Cut out one piece from the main fabric.

We lay a stitch along the edge of the workpiece and tighten the part. We stuff the tail with cotton wool or padding polyester. Using hidden stitches we sew the tail to the bunny costume.

“Realistic” costumes and cartoon ones

The author-fashion designer can design costumes depicting hand-drawn characters in a completely bizarre and unexpected way. For example, sew pink polka dot pantaloons into the body of the suit.

Costumes of this type simultaneously expand the range of features of the hare, making it more limited in non-classical productions, original scripts, and in modern interpretations of cult stories.

Such a suit is necessarily made of synthetic material in order to maintain its original appearance for a long time; it is easier to care for, wash, and dry without damage. Because clean suits in children's groups are the key to health.

Scenarios in which it is more appropriate to use a realistic hare:

• Russian folk tales
• European folk tales
• Fairy tales from authors of past centuries: The Brothers Grimm
• Images from Soviet puppet cartoons

Scenarios for cartoon hare costumes:

• Winnie the Pooh, Well, wait a minute
• Hare in the cartoon "Zootopia"
• Modern cartoons and comics
• Original productions invented by teachers for the realities of our time

Specific elements for assembling the costume:

• skirts, breeches, vests
• cape and tail
• hare head hat
• hare ears on head
• mask with a picture of a hare
• button ponytail

This way, you can significantly save your budget, especially if you are a costume designer and have many clients. You can also rationally organize the costume room in a kindergarten or creative group - let the costume elements work, and not lie on the shelf waiting for a production with a specific hero.

This will free up space for things and accessories from which you can create a character’s image easily, quickly and creatively. After all, every time you can use new elements, so the hares in different representations will not be similar to each other. This is especially important for parents who take photographs as keepsakes, but also for presenting your work as an educational organization on social networks.

The button is made of transparent plastic, so you can sew such inconspicuous buttons on trousers for characters with tails in advance

You can attach a detachable ponytail with a button to all suit options. Temporarily sew a button to your trousers or skirt and attach the bunny's tail to an elastic elastic loop. This way the tail stays firmly on the suit and hangs naturally.

When the button is not needed, it can be easily cut off or sewn to other pants. The time spent altering, as practice has shown, fully pays off with the confidence of the costume designer and actor during the performance that the tail will not fall off.

Options for a mandatory attribute - long ears

Long ears are one of the main attributes of a bunny.

Making them for a girl or boy is not difficult.

There are several options for making ears:

• The easiest and fastest option is to make ears from thick cardboard. To do this, you need to cut out two oblong ovals and paint them with sparkles, threads or beads.
• If you need to make a product that will bend. Then you will need wire and white cloth. We make the edging of the ears from wire and wrap them with fabric. At the end you need to sew the product in a circle. Finished ears can be attached to a headband or sewn to a hat.
• For girls, a good option would be bow-shaped ears. However, its ends should be well pointed. A large satin bow on the head will serve as an excellent decor for the image.

Advice! If you are not good at making an oval or the ears are not symmetrical, then you can use an iron or remote control as a basis.

For girls, it is best to make a beautiful headband or bow as a headdress. Beautiful curls and loose hair will look harmonious with the image.

For a boy, a hat or a cardboard version of the product with long ears is suitable. Don't be afraid to experiment and add your own touches to the look.

Creating an image of a bunny for a boy at home is quite simple. This will require your imagination and a little time. The main thing to remember is that a white suit with ears and a tail should be gentle, soft and light. In such clothes, the child will be comfortable playing, dancing and having fun at the event.

Sewing a hare costume from a sewing kit

You can simply sew a hare costume yourself from the parts in the sewing kit. The set includes chiffon for the future cape with a wool pattern printed on it, as well as detailed instructions on how to sew it.

Tools for sewing a suit from the set:

• sewing machine
• safety pins
• scissors
• iron

The stages of creation are described in the paragraphs of the instructions, in which we tell you step by step how to iron, pin and sew parts of the future costume.

Drape details printed on chiffon and instructions for the sewing kit

Stages of creating a costume:

• Cut out the parts from the fabric.
• Fold it as shown in the picture and sew down the shoulder darts.
• Sew down the middle seam, finishing the edges with an overlocker.
• We unravel the seam, adjust the cut on the back 0.1 mm from the edge..
• We edge the neckline with bias tape and sew on a button.
• We process the bottom of the product with a micro-overlock.

Bunny hat

To create a bunny costume, you need a hat with ears sewn on it. The cap is made of 4 wedges. It is necessary to measure the circumference of your head. The bottom of one wedge is calculated using the formula: (Head circumference + 1) / 4 = AB. The segment is bent in half. It will be equal to the length of the hat. A perpendicular segment SD is constructed. It must be equal to the length AB. Then the points AC and BC are connected. The resulting segments are divided into 3 symmetrical parts. Then at these points it is necessary to place perpendiculars. The lower perpendiculars will be equal to 1.3 cm, the upper ones - 1.6 cm. The pattern is connected by a smooth curve. 4 wedges are cut out according to the sample. It is necessary to leave a seam allowance of 1-1.5 cm.

The wedges are connected together, stitched on a sewing machine, and turned right side out. The ears are sewn into opposite seams. There is no need to make separate holes for the rim. It is best to place the headband 3 cm from the center. Then a strip of dense material is cut out. It should be 3-5 cm wide. The length depends on the circumference of the head. It is measured around the circumference of the hat. An allowance of 4 cm is added to the circumference. The strip is folded in half and sewn to the bottom of the product. It is important that the rim is between the two layers of the strip. An elastic band is sewn into the inside, which should be 2-3 cm shorter than the circumference of the head. You can sew ribbons, laces or ties to the edges of the cap.

Step-by-step instruction

Creating a shorts pattern:

• Take two A4 sheets, fasten them together with tape and fold them in half.
• Take your child's favorite shorts, turn them inside out and fold them in half too, fold to fold of paper.
• Trace them with a pencil, do not forget to leave allowances for ease of sewing and to be able to add elastic in the place where it is necessary.

Creating a sleeveless vest pattern:

• Take any T-shirt of your child’s size and, folding the sleeves inward, trace the shape on four A4 sheets of paper taped together.
• Leave allowances.

The patterns are ready.

Fabrics:

Insulated synthetic fabric with a fleecy surface

Universal elastic fabric

Translating patterns and cutting out parts:

• Fold the existing piece of fabric in half.
• Lay out the patterns on the fabric, trace with chalk or pencil and cut out. Since the allowances were laid in advance, there is no need to supplement or add them.
• We got four parts for making shorts and two parts for a vest. One of the parts of the vest must be divided exactly into two parts and, if desired, a beveled cutout must be made for beauty. Use a ruler for straight cuts.

Sewing products:

• Align the parts with each other and fasten them with safety pins so that the fabric does not “move away” when sewing.
• Sew the main side seams by hand or using a sewing machine.
• To make the product neat, you need to process the edges. Fold them over and sew, retreating from the edge about 1 centimeter. You can also sew tinsel onto the raw edges - and the costume will also get a finished and neat look.
• Sew shorts and vest.

Equipment:

The best overlockers for home and production according to customer reviews

The best sewing machines from budget to computerized

Elastic for shorts:

• To thread the elastic into the shorts, you need to fold the edge and sew it, retreating 1.5-2 centimeters.
• Leave a hole of 0.5 centimeters so that the elastic can be threaded comfortably.

Tail:

• On the remaining fabric, draw a circle with a diameter of at least 10 centimeters. You can take a mug or plate, circle it - and the circle will turn out even.
• Cut out a circle, sew it with a thread and a needle manually using a simple seam.
• Fill the tail with any filler (cotton wool, padding polyester, scraps of fabric), then tighten and secure the thread.
• Sew the finished ponytail to the shorts in the middle of the back seam.

Cap:

• Take any hat that fits your size and trace it directly onto the fabric folded in half, leaving an allowance for the bottom seam of at least 2 centimeters and an allowance for the body of the product of at least 1 centimeter. It will be much more convenient if the fabric for the hat has good stretch.
• After you have cut out the shape for the hat, on the same fabric folded in half, immediately draw and cut out the ears of the shape you like.
• Sew the details of the ears, and then, placing them in the shape of the hat, sew it too.
• Finish the edges and the hat with bunny ears is ready.

Bunny looks in other types of costumes

When working with children, teachers face various methodological tasks, including theater teachers. Other types of costumes can enhance children's improvisational and acting skills, as well as assist in educational activities and psychological counseling. Play techniques are widely used in preschool development programs, and they require unusual tools, including atypical costumes of iconic characters.

A child puts on a Hare apron and immediately transforms into a fairy tale character

A popular hero of fairy tales around the world is the hare or Brother Rabbit. A character who knows his weaknesses, sometimes cowardly, but more often gentle and very friendly. The hare is a constant character in theatrical children's productions.

In the culture of fairy tales, the hare has many faces; it is an indispensable character in theatrical productions in kindergartens, schools and theater studios.

The hare is not just an inhabitant of the forest, but the embodiment of the archetype of a trembling, outwardly defenseless character who knows his limitations and often, thanks to this, behaves smartly and resourcefully.

The bunny not only always jumps under the tree, but also confronts the wolf and the fox on equal terms in many works for children.

How to make bunny ears

In order to make this attribute we need:

• rim on the head;
• foam;
• beautiful silver fabric.

First, cut out the paper. Now, using the template, we make two ear blanks from foam rubber and four fabric blanks. Don't forget to leave a seam allowance when cutting out fabric pieces.

We sew the fabric blanks along the edges, turn them inside out and place a pre-cut foam base inside. Carefully straighten the foam inside the fabric.

We cut a strip of fabric (width + 2-3 mm to the width of the headband) and cover our headband with it - the basis for attaching the ears.

Now all that remains is to sew the ears to the headband. We do this very carefully so that the seam is not visible. And the beautiful ears are ready.

Mothers of bunny girls can additionally decorate their ears with a beautiful bow or several flowers. And for a bunny boy you can make a bow tie around his neck.

Well, and of course, to complete the image of the hare you need to make a tail. You can simply attach it to shorts or a skirt.

Various costumes for Halloween, matinees, and themed parties are sold in many stores. But to surprise your friends and appear before them in an exclusive suit, you can make the outfit yourself. A bunny costume can be created from scrap materials. It's very easy to make. This costume is suitable for both children and adults. This article will discuss how to make a gorgeous handmade outfit.
