The coming 2018 is the year of the dog. Make a costume of this animal for your child. From our master classes you will also learn how to make a mask, face painting, to quickly turn a person into this character.

Dog costume for the New Year - sew it yourself


This outfit can be of two types. The first consists of:
  • shirts;
  • vests;
  • trousers
The second one is made on the basis of a jumpsuit with sleeves and a hood.

To create the first type of dog costume for New Year, you will first need to make a pattern with your own hands.


To make it easier, look at what symbols follow what numbers.
  • 1 is half of the shelf;
  • 2 - half of the back;
  • 3 - sleeve;
  • 4 and 5 - front and back halves of trousers;
  • 6 - front of the vest;
  • 7 - half of the back of the vest;
  • 8 - stand-up collar.
If you have a shirt or T-shirt to match the child, then there is no need to sew it additionally. If not, in this case, cut this item out of a thinner fabric than you will sew the rest of the dog costume.

For a vest and trousers, take faux fur. It can be yellow, brown, or speckled like this to make a cheerful Dalmatian.

  1. Cut out the back of the shirt as a whole, that is, the presented half of the pattern should be placed on the fabric folded in half, aligning the vertical cut of the back and the fold of the fabric. When you unfold the cut fabric, you should have a back with seam allowances.
  2. Make the shirt front so that it consists of two parts. Baste the stand collar, which is created from a rectangle of fabric folded in half. Hem the bottom of your pants. Topstitch the seam of each sleeve and sew them into the armholes.
  3. Don't forget to cut out two strips for stitching. You will sew buttons on one, and loops on the other.
  4. The back of the vest is one-piece, and the front consists of two parts. First, baste the vest at the shoulders and sides, then finish the edges on all sides, including? and armholes, bias binding.
  5. To sew trousers, sew the front and back pieces together in pairs. Then connect these parts, sew the step and outer seams. Fold up the top of the trousers and insert an elastic band here.
Another dog costume for the New Year is sewn on the basis of overalls. If you don't have such a pattern, use your child's things. The photo shows how to fold a tank top with pants to create this base.


The robe is made of soft brown fabric. The hood is sewn on top. The sleeves are sewn into the armholes. The tail will be the final accent of the costume.


You can make the overalls looser, then it will not restrict the child’s movements. But don't forget to insert elastic bands into the cuffs of your sleeves and pants.


If you want, you can make a dog costume from pieces of several fabrics, and from a white one create a bib like this, which will become the tummy. The butterfly can be made in the shape of a bone, then the outfit for 2018 will be even more original.


Not only children, but also adults can celebrate the coming year in such attire. Sew shapeless darker spots onto soft red fabric. Then the structure of the outfit will resemble the color of the dog.

Master class on quickly sewing a suit

If you don't have much time to create such an outfit for your child in kindergarten, then use his sweatshirt in a suitable color. After the holiday, you can cut off the excess so that the child continues to wear this item. But perhaps he will like what you create so much, and he will continue to flaunt in such attire.


To sew a dog costume, take:
  • a child’s sweatshirt in gray or another suitable color;
  • white fabric;
  • brown drape or fleece.
Cut out ears from brown fabric. For each you will need 2 parts. They need to be sewn together in pairs, overstaying along the edges. Cut out a rectangular bib with rounded corners and sew it to the front of the sweatshirt.

If you have a suitable jumper, but it does not have a hood, then take a child's cap in a suitable color. Cut out ear blanks from faux fur or thick fabric and stitch them to the sides of the headdress.


Another option is to sew the features of the dog’s muzzle and ears onto a ready-made knitted hat. This idea will require a minimum of time. If you have more, then you can knit a hat, and at the same time sew the ears, which need to be stuffed with padding polyester, on one side and the other of the headdress.

The features of the muzzle are also knitted together or separately. A mask will also help you quickly create the desired image. Watch several master classes, choose the one you like best and suit you.

How to make a dog mask?

This work uses a minimum of materials. Take:

  • cardboard plate;
  • sheet of paper;
  • scissors;
  • glue stick;
  • cord;
  • mask;
  • scotch;
  • marker.
On a plate turned upside down, draw blanks for the dog’s eyes.

Fold a sheet of paper in half and cut along the resulting curved line to the middle.


Unfold the paper sheet, place the two cut pieces on top of each other and secure them with tape.


Fold the edge of the narrow piece inward.


Make cuts along the edges of the workpiece every 4 cm. Lubricate the resulting petals with glue and attach them to a cardboard plate.


The lower cuts should be longer, they will need to be raised up and fixed with glue. Then you will give the dog's nose the desired shape.


To make the resulting blank more like a dog mask, tear up pieces of paper of different sizes and glue them to the face. Fold a piece of paper in half and cut out an ear that is rounded at the bottom. Glue it on one side to the mask.


Make the second ear in the same way. Using the same plan, cut out the tongue. Glue these pieces in place. If necessary, paint the mask, then when the surface is dry, paint the missing strokes.


The mask will hold well if you attach a thin elastic band or cord on both sides.


There are other ideas for making this accessory.


This photo tip shows how to draw a blank dog's muzzle, then glue it together, giving it the required shape.

You can also make a flat dog mask. To do this, first redraw this template onto a sheet of beige cardboard. From brown, cut out the ears, part of the muzzle and a fragment located near the eye. Glue them in place. Use black to make the nose and inner parts of the ears.


All that remains is to complete the individual strokes with a black marker, make slits on both sides of the mask and thread an elastic band here.


Felt also makes a wonderful dog mask. To do this, take the material of the desired color and cut out two identical bases from it. Sew the fragments near the eyes and nose on top. Also separate the ears with a stitch and stitch along the edge. All that remains is to sew on the strings and it’s time to put on the mask.


It can also be made from polymer clay. This mask turns out to be very realistic.


This will require a preparatory stage. It consists of first making a papier-mâché base for the mask and letting it dry well. When this happens, roll out the clay into a thin layer and attach it to the papier-mâché base.

If the clay breaks somewhere, simply fill up the resulting holes with pieces of clay. Using a toothpick, add texture to the mask so that the voluminous fur is visible.

Color your work with shadows, special clay powder or dry pastels. Use an awl to make holes on the sides. If it is a self-hardening clay, leave it to dry thoroughly. If this requires baking in the oven, place the mask there. Then remove and cool.

If you need to add color at this stage, use acrylic paints. When they are dry, paint the product with varnish. An elastic band is threaded through the holes, which will help you put the mask on your head and secure it.

If you do not want to cover your face with such elements, then you can draw a muzzle on the face of a child or adult.

How to do face painting of a dog's face?

Look at what requirements must be presented to him. Face painting should:

  • dry quickly;
  • be hypoallergenic;
  • be water-based rather than oil-based;
  • quite easy to wash off.
Here's what you'll need to create face painting:
  • sponges;
  • tassels;
  • the paints themselves.
Pull your hair up or pin it up with bobby pins to keep it out of the way.
  1. Using a wide brush or sponge, give the face a white tone using the appropriate paint.
  2. Take a thin brush and use it to outline the contours of the eye, nose, and spots on the forehead. Then fill these elements with black paint using a thicker brush.
  3. Use pink paint to paint the tongue, use a thin black brush to create a vertical stripe on it, as well as a thin mustache.


And here is another option on how to make a dog mask using face painting on the face.


To do this, draw wide eyebrows using a black brush. After creating such a border, you will need to fill in these details with brown or beige paint. Draw the nose in the same color, and create its tip using black paint.

You will get a very funny puppy if you use face painting for the next idea. Draw a black semicircle around one eye. Using the same materials, make the following features of the muzzle, paint them inside with white paint. Draw a red tongue on the side and make the tip of the nose black to make the dog’s face even more realistic.


The next idea will appeal to those who have a soft toy or a favorite cartoon character dog. After all, you can make a girl look like this character. Tie two ponytails on the sides that will turn into ears. Touch up the face with white paint and paint around one of the eyes with red. A brown nose and mustache of the same color will complete the look.


The following face painting is perfect for a girl or girl, as it will emphasize the romanticism of nature. Make the spots around the eyes in the form of a cloud and create a couple more such elements on the forehead. A white mustache looks great on rosy cheeks. And the lilac tongue looks beautiful against the background of black lips.


Face painting skills will be useful to you not only for the New Year, but also for other holidays and family celebrations. Delight your children by turning them into unusual characters using this makeup.

And so that you can master this art, we suggest you see how to apply face painting to create the image of a dog.

A beautiful DIY dog costume for a child – the best ideas with photos

Making a beautiful and original carnival dog costume for a child at home is not so difficult. There are no too clear rules or strict restrictions. You can show your imagination, creative thinking and creativity by creating from simple, affordable fabrics, faux fur and decorative elements a very bright, effective and original outfit in which both a kindergarten child and a teenager from high school will feel comfortable at the holiday.

Examples of original ideas with photos - dog costumes for boys and girls

A carnival outfit of a Dalmatian puppy will be perfect for a kindergarten boy. To create it, just decorate a child’s white sweater or light jacket with a spotted black and white shirtfront, put black and white speckled mittens on his hands, and attach a hat with a dog’s face to his head. The outfit will be completed with black white shorts, socks and black shoes from the baby’s usual wardrobe.

A girl will perform no less successfully in the role of a cheerful Dalmatian. For her, you will have to sew a spotted skirt, a vest and a hat with ears, and a white elegant jacket, lace socks and black sandals will probably be found in the little fashionista’s closet.

A dog costume can be made very simply and quickly for a teenage boy. Basic soft trousers and a sweatshirt in beige and brown shades are suitable as a base. On these things you will need to sew spots of fabric of a darker or even black color, and as a headdress you will need to use a matching cap, complemented by fabric hanging ears. The finishing touch will be large fluffy mittens and a bone made of dense material.

The easiest way to create a dog costume, equally suitable for both boys and girls of any age, is to sew a poncho in a characteristic color and complement it with a hat-mask with the ears and muzzle of the animal. For the main part of the outfit you will need a wrinkle-resistant, shiny fabric in a bright color and a thicker material with a velvety surface for the shirtfront and spots. The neckline and outer edge will need to be trimmed with braid, and a fabric or fur tail will need to be sewn on the back.

It is appropriate to make a dog costume for a little girl in delicate white and pink shades. For decoration, a snow-white fabric with elongated threads will be useful. It imitates the curly fur of a poodle. From it you will need to cut out a shirt-front, cuffs, leggings, a fragment of a tail and a covering for a hat with ears that widen towards the bottom.

White tights and shoes, a pink tutu skirt and pink ribbons on the ears will complete the look and make it very tender, soft and touching.

  • needles and pins
  • threads
  • fabric marker or chalk
  • scissors
  • pattern
  • glue
  • fur fabric and ribbons - for decoration
  • wire
  • a pair of tights

Step-by-step instructions for a master class on sewing a dog costume for a boy with your own hands - for the New Year's carnival:

  1. First, we take basic measurements - chest and waist circumference, as well as the length of the sleeve, back and leg. The suit should be spacious, so the measurements taken should be slightly increased. Taking into account these measurements, we make patterns, transfer them to the fabric using a marker or chalk and cut them out. Don't forget to leave a seam allowance of approximately 1 - 1.5 cm.
  2. We sew the resulting parts of the dog costume on a sewing machine, folding them right side inward. Using pins, you need to carefully fasten the individual parts of the product around the entire perimeter. It turns out to be a cute dog jumpsuit - now let’s start decorating.
  3. From a piece of fur fabric we cut out “spots” of any shape - just like a “real” dog! If necessary, you need to overcast the edges of the parts so that the fabric does not fray.
  4. We sew fur “spots” to the costume.
  5. We use rigid wire as a frame for the tail - cut a piece of the required length. We cut out two “tail” blanks from the fabric, each of which is wide at the base and narrows slightly towards the end. When cutting parts, leave seam allowances.
  6. We attach the prepared wire at one end to the overalls - you can sew it with threads. We put a fabric “tail” on top and sew the edges around the wire frame.
  7. To decorate the dog’s head, you can sew a jumpsuit with a hood, to which you can attach fabric “ears”, as well as “eyes” and “nose” - the latter details can be purchased at a specialized store. As an option, the “muzzle” of the dog will be a purchased or home-made paper mask.
  8. The result is an excellent carnival dog costume for a boy - that’s it, you can go to the New Year’s party!
