Irina sewed this costume last year for her youngest daughter. At a New Year's party, a girl danced the Christmas tree dance.

Materials and tools for making a Christmas tree costume

To make a Christmas tree costume you will need:

• an old sundress or sleeveless dress, it is better if it is in the shape of a trapezoid;
• fabric of any green color (it’s good if your fabric has some kind of ornament or pattern, this will make the Christmas tree look more interesting and elegant);
• tinsel and plastic Christmas tree decorations;
• green cardboard for headdress;
• sewing supplies and glue gun.

How to sew a Christmas tree costume: step-by-step description

Step 1. Cut the green fabric into strips. The narrower the stripes, the more frills you will get (that is, tiers of the Christmas tree). The length of the stripes should be such that the strip can be wrapped around the sundress 2-2.5 times.
Step 2. We process the edges of the green “Christmas tree” fabric using a sewing machine or by hand so that they do not fray.
Step 3. We sew the edges of each strip into a ring and collect it into frills. To do this, we lay a straight seam along the upper long side of the strip. At the end, we pull out the end of the thread, thereby gathering the material and forming frills of the required length.
Step 4. We sew frills onto the base - a sundress.
Step 5. All that remains is to decorate the Christmas tree costume with tinsel and plastic Christmas tree toys.
Step 6. We make the headdress of the Christmas tree costume from green cardboard. To do this, cut out a narrow strip with a large triangle in the middle so that the shape of the triangle resembles a Christmas tree.
We connect the ends, forming a headdress according to the size of the head. Using a glue gun, we glue tinsel and star toys onto our Christmas tree headdress.
The Christmas tree costume is ready!
