General recommendations for making the snow maiden's kokoshnik

First you need to decide on the shape, size and design features of the future product. To do this, you need to look at the outfit of the Snow Maiden in specialized literature or on thematic sites. The kokoshnik can take the form of a classic dome, a flower and the edge of a snowflake. In the end, much is determined by the imagination of the author and his personal preferences. Even if there is finished pattern the kokoshnik will still have to be adjusted in size to your head or the head of a child so that it sits perfectly and keeps well on the hoop. Therefore, the most important point is the process of making a pattern and fitting the resulting workpiece.

Attention! Carefully consider the size of the future kokoshnik, because. first of all, it should be comfortable, light and not create discomfort during the event.

How to make a snow maiden's kokoshnik with a hoop

When everything is ready necessary materials you can start making clothes. Consider the step-by-step process of manufacturing one of the popular types of kokoshnik with a hoop:

• First you need to model the shape of the future product. For it to be symmetrical paper should be folded in half and draw the outline of the kokoshnik. You can make several options and choose the most suitable;
• The resulting workpiece must be unfolded and a rim attached to it. It should be noted with a dotted line the contour of the rim;
• We cut a hole for the head and adjust it to the required parameters by trying on. It should be cut a little more, because. the product in this case will be attached to the hoop. You can also measure the workpiece on an already dressed hoop;
• The strip where the bezel will be attached is cut into equal segments 2 cm long;
• The resulting pattern should be translated into thick cardboard white color;
• Cardboard can be wrapped in a smart blue cloth or painted with paint;
• When gluing with a cloth, it is necessary to cut out two parts according to the shape of the template. One of the elements should be 1 cm larger. After gluing, the fabric should dry thoroughly. We also glue the allowance on the back side. Further decorative trim disguise it;
• We are preparing a hoop. To do this, wrap it narrow ribbon and lubricate with glue in places;
• Bending the left teeth on the kokoshnik, glue it with inside hoop;
• The headdress is ready and you can start decorating it.

Reference! Instead of a hoop, you can use a strip of foam rubber. It is glued from the front and back of the product. In this way, the kokoshnik will be securely fixed and not cause unpleasant and pain. They should be beautifully decorated.

We create various options for the snow maiden's kokoshnik with our own hands

There are other ways to make kokoshnik. Consider the features of making a kokoshnik with an artificial scythe. You will also need a white satin, an elastic band and a false braid. To sew the product, follow the step-by-step instructions:

1. After the manufacture of the main part, it is necessary to start making a cap on the forehead. It is necessary to measure the distance from the base of the product to the middle of the forehead, as well as the length of the rim;
2. A tuck should be considered so that the part sits better on the forehead;
3. The outer part of the product is decorated in various ways;
4. The resulting part is connected to the kokoshnik and the hoop;
5. Next, prepare the braid. It is better to sew it on a cut of exactly the same material as the headdress and fasten it to the back of the product;
6. We cut out back crafts. To do this, we cut out a semi-oval, having previously measured the distance between the ears and from the beginning of the kokoshnik to the shoulders;
7. The edge of the back cap is folded over and an elastic band is inserted into it for ease of dressing and a better fit of the product on the head;
8. Further, back detail attached to the kokoshnik;
9. You should make blanks for bows. To do this, cut out a rectangle about 60x40 cm in size and a strip of 60x10 cm, bending the edges with it. A bow is made from these details. It can be made in any other convenient way;
10. The bow is attached to the base of the braid;
11. The headdress is ready. It remains to decorate it, if possible, hiding the seams from connecting parts.

You can also make a headdress without a hoop. For this, it is necessary to prepare beautiful ribbon two or more centimeters wide. The wider the tape, the better. It is sewn to the kokoshnik and tied at the back of the head. This method is universal and the product is suitable for any head. Also, in addition, the kokoshnik can be attached to the head with invisibility.

How to decorate the snow maiden's kokoshnik

In the matter of decorating a product, a craftswoman may have full freedom. Suitable for various decorative elements. Many of them can be taken from old or unnecessary things and jewelry. Most often in museum collections there are kokoshniks, richly decorated with pearl mesh. At the same time, strands of pearls descend on the cheeks of a snowy beauty. This pattern can be repeated independently, dissolving the usual ones with white pebbles. Consider one of simple ways decorating a kokoshnik blank with a cloth. Do the following:

• A piece of cardboard can be wrapped with a piece of tulle. To do this, cut out the kokoshnik from paper or thin plastic. Next, wrap it with a cloth;
• We start sewing on a typewriter. The first line is done without affecting the workpiece. The second line is laid along the outer contour, shifting the workpiece to the first line;
• Next, cut out the resulting part along the edge, leaving allowances of 1 cm on each side of the contour;
• Patterns must be applied to the resulting part. If used transparent plastic, then you can first draw patterns on a paper blank. Then put it under the plastic and simply circle the patterns with gold glue according to the finished markings. If a sheet of paper is covered with tulle, then patterns can be applied using stencils or arbitrarily;
• Next, add more embellishments.

Reference! The kokoshnik should be beautifully decorated both on the outside and on the inside.

To upper edge crafts looked spectacular to him sew a thread of beads. Beads, beads and bugles are best sewn on, rather than using glue. On the bottom, you can glue the fringe with a special thermal gun. The attachment points of parts are decorated with white tinsel or other elements. You can make spectacular petals using the kanzashi technique. To do this, you will need to do the following:

• For their manufacture, you need to take two ribbons of white and silver. From a silvery material we cut out squares with a side of 2.5 cm, and from a white one with a side of 5 cm;
• We bend each square first diagonally, and then in half and again in half;
• We hold the resulting element with tongs, cut off a couple of millimeters from the tip and scorch it until completely glued with a candle or lighter;
• We also cut off the lower part of the petal and cauterize, thereby protecting the fabric from possible singing in the future;
• Thus, they act with all the cut out squares. In the future, silver petals are glued inside the white ones;
• You can leave white petals separately and glue beads to them;
• Next, we begin to decorate the kokoshnik with the resulting elements. In the central part, you can place big flower, and on the sides two small ones. You can come up with a composition yourself;
• In the middle of the resulting flowers, it is better to place large noticeable beads.

Important! Petals using the kanzashi technique are best placed on the product in a checkerboard pattern. In this way, a peculiar effect of drowning each next row between the petals of the previous one will be obtained.

For jewelry fit foil, pieces of brocade and other showy fabrics, Christmas tree rain and other decorative elements. You can use lace stripes. Of course, snowflakes cut out of fabric or paper will look spectacular. Can buy ready-made snowflakes in the store and also draw them acrylic paints. Often a beautiful addition to the kokoshnik of the granddaughter of Santa Claus is a light gossamer shawl or silk ribbons.

You can make an exclusive kokoshnik for the Snow Maiden with your own hands. Do not forget about the manufacturing standards of this headgear so that it is as close as possible to models from fairy-tale illustrations and films. Observing simple recommendations it can be done by hand in one evening.

I happened to this New Year play the role of the Snow Maiden. Scenario, contests, prizes... and even make a costume. As it turned out, the outfit for the Snow Maiden is not an easy task. You can, of course, rent it, but this is if one can be rented in your city, and if not all the costumes have been taken apart yet + if there is a financial opportunity.

So we decided to make our own costume. Today we will talk on the site about the headdress of the Snow Maiden and offer you our own version of making a wire crown. By the way, such a crown is suitable for both the Snowflake and the Snow Queen.

You will need:

- wire with a length of at least 1 - 1.5 meters, preferably aluminum, it is lighter in weight and bends easier. However, we didn’t have one at hand, so we took out copper wire from a wire for electrical wiring and twisted it,

- tinsel of silver or any other color to match your dress with a length of at least 2 meters. Under my blue suit, royal blue tinsel came in handy.

So, the first step is to make the base. To do this, we involve dad and ask him to bend the wire into something like this composition. By the way, in our case, the back of the crown turned out to be scalable, it can be adjusted to fit any head. And after that - wrap with tinsel.

Next is creativity. You need to wrap the tinsel and you need to do it so that all the elements are covered with tinsel. I started wrapping from above, inserted one end of the tinsel into the place indicated by the red dot, wrapped the “spire” and then went to the first side, then the back, then the second side, and finally the front. There I wound the tinsel so as to close the gap and fixed the second end in the same place. I did not have to use any improvised means for fastening (no adhesive tape, no glue, no stapler).

This is how the crown turned out. In the last photo, I tried to schematically depict the tinsel winding scheme.
