Funny family

And my mom will be pleased with the April April O'Neal image, perhaps even sewing or buying nothing will have to, the girl's outfit is quite ordinary. Well, children will happily reincarnate in any of the four warriors - Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael or Michelangelo. Here is an example of such a family:

For inspiration

And here are a couple of options, as the costume of a turtle-ninja can look like. The photo shows that all the details are easy to make at home, it's worth a little effort.

This is a costume, which will take a long time to tailor, and if you are looking for ideas easier, then look how the girls beat simple clothes and foil shapes.

Baby suits of a ninja turtle

Want to make your child an inexpensive and comfortable outfit in which he can flaunt not only on the holiday, but even play with friends? Then take this option for a note:

You will need:

• Green pajamas (if you do not have the right size, just a T-shirt and panties also fit).
• Thin felt of different colors: coffee, orange for bandages (if you are making Michelangelo, and in general each turtle has its own color and weapons).
• Form for baking.
• Green paint in can.
• Brown chalk.
• Toy nunchuck.
• Adhesive tape.
• Iron.
• Velcro.
• Scotch.
• The glue gun.
• Scissors.

The order of work on the suit

1. From the felt of coffee color, we cut out the oval to make the abdomen of the "turtle". We draw a small press on it.
2. Here is used pajamas, which fastenswith a zipper. Therefore, the felt to the right side was glued to the thermo-tape, and to the left they sewed velcro. So you can conveniently unfasten the overhead abdomen and remove / put on your pajamas on the baby.
3. Now we take the usual plastic nunchak and decorate them with a felt brown and coffee color with the help of a glue gun.
4. We pass to the shell: the height of the side molds for the child is too large, so they should be cut and processed with scotch tape so as not to cut yourself. We paint the foil from the can in the green color. When it dries, we glue the Velcro on top and bottom, we do the same on pajamas, so that the shell is kept on the back of the baby.
5. If you can not find such a shape from the foil, you can do with a painted cardboard shell or sew a small pillow of an oval shape.
6. From the orange felt we cut out a mask, elbow pads and knee pads, and from the brown one - a belt.
7. The latter is useful to additionally fix the shell on the back of a small unconsumed.

Boys older like a sweatshirt, decorated on the same principle:

Suits for adults

Simple calculations show that children whowatched the first releases of the animated series in 1987, reached the middle age, younger fans are people about 30 years old. And they continue to love the TV series "Turtle-Ninja". You can also make an adult costume yourself. It can be of different difficulty levels, depending on the event, where it is going to be worn. For example:

• You can be "in the image" at least every day, if you combine clothes of the appropriate colors and use large colored glasses instead of eye patches:
• For a small themed party orbachelor party can do a fairly simple version: pick up t-shirts, shorts or leggings of green color, draw the abdomen and press paints on the fabric. Watercolor make masks on the face, put on green socks, and from the fabric of the appropriate color make bandages on the elbows and knees. The most lazy can pre-order a T-shirt with a print of the "Turtle-Ninja".
• And here is another example, where the girls approached the task more carefully, making a shell of foil and breastplates from a cardboard box. They added plastic weapons, and the image is ready.
• In the warm season, the most daring can not waste time and money making a costume, but simply paint themselves. Of course, the impressive muscles will only be a plus.

We complicate the problem

For the gathering of fans or big parties, the costume of the ninja turtles is needed more seriously. It is possible again to do with a large form for baking as a shell, but it needs to be beautifully painted.

On most adult homemade costumesuse elements made of papier-mâché. As a rule, it is the head, arm, legs, armor and breastplate. Enthusiasts can add musculature, made in this technique.

To make this costume, verya lot of thick paper. The head and hands are made of papier-mache, which pasted an approximate piece of cardboard, glued together with adhesive tape. Then in the course went the newspaper, flour, water and glue. For the eyes took one ball for ping-pong, cut it in half and colored it. The feet were also made of papier-mache, but old sneakers were used as a basis.

I had to buy a one-color green suit, thenready-made elements are painted with acrylic paints to it in tone. If you make this outfit, do not forget to mix a lot of paint right away, because if it ends, it will be difficult to repeat a particular shade.

For the shell it took a more sophisticated technique: First, each of its elements is cut from the cardboard, then glued with hot glue from the gun (carefully, you can burn more than once). This results in a convex billet, the volume and relief of which was given by brown bags for sandwiches and paints.

The bib is made of several layers of cardboard and foiurane (foam for needlework).

To make this costume Raphael took about 2 months of work in his spare time.

For beautiful women

But such a suit of turtles-ninja for a girl can be made in two hours:

It will take:

• Fatine is of different shades of green.
• Elastic.
• Scissors.
• Needle with thread.
• Baking dish.
• White sports top and knee socks.
• Paint green in a can for fabric.
• Watercolor.
• Black lace.
• Old T-shirt.

Production procedure:

1. First we paint the top and knee socks in green.
2. Then we make a skirt: Cut the elastic band around the waist circumference (note that it stretches). Sew it into a circle, cut the tulle into thin strips. Fold it in half and fasten the loop on the elastic band. So repeat until you get a magnificent skirt.
3. We paint the aluminum shape in green, we pass the shoelaces to wear it like a backpack.
4. From the old T-shirt of the right color, we cut out strips on the head, elbows, knees.

The result is a great costume. The ninja turtle, made by hand, is ready. It remains only to paint the abdomen and back with watercolor in green, and the cubes on the press make a more light color.
