Robber costumes are most suitable for mischievous and active boys, who will feel harmonious in this image. The robber costume can be made in several variations. The first is the image of an old robber, the second is a modern one. Let's look at each of them.

Modern look

Modern cinema and cartoons depict the robber exactly in this form, as you can see in this photo.

If you decide to make such a suit, you must know what parts it will consist of. This:

• black trousers or trousers;
• striped sweater or T-shirt;
• mask;
• additional accessories.

Now let's move on to the actual production of each detail of the image.

Cloth

To create a robber costume for a boy, you don’t have to sew your own clothes. If you can find the necessary things in your wardrobe, then use them.

The robber is wearing black pants or trousers. Perhaps you can find them in every closet. But if not, you can always make your own pants. A classic cut and versatile material are chosen.

The top of the suit is a striped sweater or T-shirt. If you don’t have one like this in your wardrobe, you can dye the sweater yourself white. Robber costumes do not have clear standards, so you can combine existing items.

Hiding your face

As a mask, you can use a black strip of fabric with cut out holes for the eyes. It is better to use knitted fabric, it is convenient to work with. Sew around the edges of the mask and don't forget the ties.

You can choose an alternative - paint the mask with paints. Regular black watercolor paint is suitable for this.

Addition

In order to complement the ready-made robber costumes, hats and gloves are used. A headdress that is suitable for this image should fit snugly to the head, and must be black. You can choose a hat a few sizes smaller so that it does not completely cover your head.

It is better to prefer leather gloves without fingers. But thin fabric ones will also work.

An additional accessory is a money bag that you can make yourself. To do this, two rectangles are cut out of thick fabric or burlap. They are then sewn together to make a bag. Turn it inside out and fill it with foam rubber or crumpled newspaper. To make it clear that there is money in the bag, you can decorate it with a dollar emblem, which is drawn with a marker on the bag or cut out of green fabric. One of the options for how to make a robber costume with your own hands is shown in the following photo.

Rogue Pirate

The image of this robber has been known since ancient times and is often found in cartoons and films. If you have chosen such a suit, you can see an example of what it might look like.

These robber costumes may look a little like pirates. The outfit consists of the following items:

• pants or breeches;
• T-shirt or sleeveless vest;
• headband;
• additional attributes.

Let's look at how to make each of the listed parts with your own hands.

Torn clothes

For the bottom of the suit, old ones that you don’t mind cutting are suitable. The cuts are made in the form of triangular teeth. In this case, the length is removed to create breeches. Such a robber costume for a boy should not look strict.

For outerwear, choose an old jacket or T-shirt. Why old? It’s unlikely that anyone will enjoy cutting new and still wearable clothes with scissors. Using the same principle, we make a torn jacket.

If you do not have the opportunity to use ready-made clothes, you can sew them yourself. To do this you will need fabric and a sewing machine.

A vest is often used as an addition to clothing. At the same time, clothes can have different emblems and designs.

Kerchief

As this headdress, scraps of fabric of the required color can be used. Twist the fabric in several layers to make it wide horizontal stripe, which is placed on the forehead, tied on the reverse side with several knots. You can use a bandana, the same scarf that covers your entire head.

Robber attributes

In order to create a bright New Year's robber costume, we advise you to supplement it with paraphernalia. Toy weapons are perfect for this. Revolvers or shotguns can be used to add credibility to the image. And if you tie a fabric belt on your pants, then this weapon will be easy to secure. Sabers and daggers made of plastic will also suit the image of a robber.

As an interesting addition, you can sew a small bag that is filled with coins and worn on your belt.

The ear clip in the shape that pirates and robbers traditionally wore looks good. You can complement the image with other details if you think it is necessary.

To make a Robin Hood costume, you will need:

• green fabric for a shirt,
• brown fabric for the belt and hat,
• scraps of white and gray thick fabric for a knife,
• Velcro,
• colored feather,
• threads

If the child is small, the shirt is long, and it will be hot at the holiday, it is better to replace the pants for the Robin Hood costume with any bright tights to match the feather.

If you don't have matching colored tights, sew some pants. The easiest way to do this is to use any pants that fit your boyfriend as a pattern.

DIY Robin Hood costume shirt

The shirt for the Robin Hood costume is sewn using medieval patterns - that is, without them at all. You will need a piece of fabric of sufficient size with a length equal to the length of the shirt times two and a width equal to the width of the back plus the length of 2 sleeves.

If you only have enough fabric for a tunic, pair it with a matching turtleneck or sew on feather-colored sleeves for another idea that's totally in keeping with the medieval style.

1. Fold the fabric in half and cut out the neckline. The neckline should be deeper at the front. Check if the head goes through.

2. Cut the back along the axis of symmetry. Sew Velcro to it. If the cutout depth is sufficient, you can do without a fastener at all.

3. Model the sleeves using chalk. Trim the excess and sew side seams shirts.

4. Cut the bottom of the shirt into triangles.

The base of the costume is ready. By the way, a caftan for many other carnival costumes is sewn in exactly the same way.

Robin Hood Costume Accessories

Hat with feather

Let's start with the main detail - the signature “pie” hat. For it you will need 4 parts - 2 for the crown, 2 for the brim.

1. Fold brown fleece-type fabric in half front side inside. Draw 2 crown details and 2 brim details on the fabric. Cut out the pieces.

2. Sew the halves of the crown together. Turn it right side out.

3. Sew the halves of the fields together.

4. Use pins to attach the brim to the crown. Please note that the brim will be folded over, so that the brim is attached to the front side of the crown with the wrong side. When the hat is finished and the brim is folded up, the seam should be inside the fold.

5. Sew the seam, turn the margins inside out.

6. Attach a feather and, if necessary, an elastic band to the hat.

Belt and knife

The belt and knife for the Robin Hood costume do not need to be sewn. The belt can be found in the dressing room, the knife in the toy box. If you do decide to make these accessories yourself, follow our instructions.

For the belt you need a strip of fabric approximately 1.5 times the length of the waist and a width equal to 4 times the width of the belt. First of all, the ends of the fabric tape are folded inward and processed. Then the tape is folded in four along its length and stitched with three seams. All that remains is to attach the buckle to it and, if necessary, punch a few holes. The belt is ready.

The knife can be made from fabric such as thick felt. All parts - blade, handle, guard - are duplicated and stitched to create the appropriate relief. Lastly, a guard is sewn into the workpiece on both sides - it covers the joints - and a strip with Velcro.

Your hand-sewn Robin Hood costume is ready. Make your boyfriend promise to protect the oppressed, and go ahead to great deeds!

Hello, friends! If you are seriously interested in what a robber costume should be for the New Year, most likely you have a mischievous, brave and energetic boy growing up. Or maybe the child is studying at a theater school and it is already known that by the New Year he will participate in a production where he will play the role of the Nightingale the Robber?

In any case, you are doing the right thing by looking for options in advance. Despite its initial simplicity, the image requires thorough preparation. I propose to consider options for costumes for modern and classic pirates.

Pirate in a modern version: how to make it

The new-fashioned image of a pirate was formed in the minds of each of us thanks to Hollywood films. The heroes of the stories of famous directors, despite the fact that they are pirates, do not lose their charisma, they look like strong and brave adventurers. Their costumes are traditional trousers or leather pants, a T-shirt or shirt, a T-shirt or vest (if the robber hunts at sea), a bandana or hat. Mandatory accessories are pistols, knives, brass knuckles and other attributes of a robber.

It’s easy to make a costume for such a hero from what you can find at home. Clothes should create interest while still being neat. Choose suitable pants, give them a touch of age (rub them with a stone), make a few cuts. Any dark shirt, T-shirt or tank top is suitable for the top. Again, if we are talking about a pirate, use a vest.

A mandatory accessory is a mask and headdress. The robbers want to remain unrecognized, so they hide their faces behind masks. A black blindfold or a neckerchief that hides the face up to the eyes is suitable for the outfit. Headdress at your discretion. Look impressive:

• cowboy type hats;
• bandanas;
• bandages;
• black knitted hats.

Great idea - a wig with dreadlocks. Such a robber will look fashionable and stylish, attracting the attention of others.

Gloves are not the most important, but also a necessary element. Leather gloves with open fingers are best suited for a pirate. To complement the image, think about what the robber will hold in his hands. Perhaps it will be a revolver or a prop knife, or maybe a bag of money on which you can easily embroider a dollar sign or make an appliqué “Money”. To make the bag seem voluminous, fill it with paper or foam rubber more densely.

Medieval land and sea robber

If modern robbers can afford to wear sneakers and leather pants in combination with a balaclava, then in the Middle Ages pirates and robbers, despite poverty and constant wandering, tried to look elegant. At least this can be judged from films about past times. Slobs of the Victorian era always wore wide, thick trousers tucked into high leather boots. Therefore, they should become the basis of the costume.

Top part traditional costume robber - blouse with wide sleeves made of light flowing fabric. Immutable attributes - wide belt with a holster, a neckerchief, a vest with multiple pockets, a bandana or a wide-brimmed hat. Long matted hair is what made the robbers recognizable, as well as the eyes hidden behind the blindfold.

In a word, there is a negative, but charismatic hero from whom it is difficult to take your eyes off, he is so bright and individual. Putting together a medieval pirate costume is not difficult at all. Search wide pants in military style and high boots, preferably in a cowboy style.

If you can’t find a cambric or silk blouse with wide sleeves and an open neck, replace it with a checkered shirt, camisole or turtleneck and a vest made of leather, denim, or other thick fabric. For an authentic look, cover one eye with a black skull mark and wear a bandana and hat at the same time. It will be great if tangled hair flows down from under the headdress to the shoulders.

The beard and mustache of robbers often played the role of a kind of mask. Therefore, you can safely glue artificial ones or draw attention to your own facial hair.

A sea robber is a pirate. His costume is not much different except for a vest instead of a shirt or blouse. In addition, on the head of a sea robber you can often see a cocked hat with the image of a pirate emblem - a skull and crossbones.

Women's robber costume

A girl or girl dressed as a pirate or robber looks especially attractive. No need to draw a mustache and try to dress up as a man. It's much more interesting to make a costume in female version. The first thing you need to know is that pirates and robbers rarely wore skirts and paired them with pants. Choose pants that can be tucked into high boots, or the fashionable option today is flared pants.

Top women's outfit robbers - still the same blouse or T-shirt, vest or corset. A girl from a gang of hooligans can wear a branded cocked hat on her head and high arms leather gloves. A belt is a must - it will emphasize the waist and serve as a fastener for a pistol holster. Camisoles look great worn over a blouse with wide sleeves in combination with tight trousers and high boots.

This is how cool pirate costumes can be if you approach the matter responsibly and with interest. Share ideas with your friends, maybe this is exactly what they are looking for!

One of the popular characters in children's costumes New Year's holidays became robbers. Mischievous and active boys feel especially comfortable in such roles. A similar outfit can be purchased in a store, ordered online, or rented.

Or you can make your own New Year's robber costume for a boy from things that are already in his wardrobe. This is not difficult to do, because you don’t need precise lines, you don’t need ruffles or lace.

The color scheme of such an outfit can be completely black, or you can choose things in contrasting colors, for example, black and white, use blue, red, gold and other accessories.

DIY New Year's robber costume for a boy for 2020

For such a suit, a T-shirt, vest or shirt is suitable - preferably fairly worn, frayed and torn. If the item was recently purchased, it is better to age it artificially by getting it a little dirty and torn.

The top of the outfit can even be made from a jute or canvas bag (burlap should be unbleached). Cut holes in it for the head and arms - and the robber’s “shirt” will be ready. The boy will only have to gird it with a rope.

Carnival robber costumes for boys do not have clear standards, so you can combine things as you wish. A young man can throw a vest over a regular shirt, T-shirt or vest. If he doesn’t have this item in his wardrobe, you can make it yourself.

It is enough to tear off the sleeves from a well-worn jumper - and you will get a suitable detail for your future outfit. The boy can wear his father's or grandfather's old vest. It is important that it has pockets, because this is where it will be most convenient to put a toy weapon.

The shirt can be belted with a sash - a wide and long fabric belt that is wrapped around the waist several times and then tied. A leather belt or even several belts would also be suitable for this outfit.

You can make a belt for a homemade robber costume from a strip of fabric about one and a half times the circumference of the child’s waist and a width equal to four times the width of the belt. First, the ends of the fabric tape are folded inward and processed. It is then folded in quarters lengthwise and stitched with three seams. All that remains is to attach the buckle to it and, if necessary, punch a few holes.

Pants can be almost anything. For a boy's New Year's robber costume, both old worn jeans and classic-cut trousers, tight trousers reminiscent of leggings and wide breeches are suitable. They can be brown, blue or black.

You can insert an elastic band into both legs, moving a few centimeters from the bottom, or insert it at the very bottom of the trousers. Or you can cut the trousers about 15 cm from the ankle, and then make the bottom shaggy so that the threads stick out.

“Decorate” your pants with scraps, after staining them with paint. Keep in mind that such an outfit should be so comfortable that the child feels comfortable jumping, running and dancing in it.

As for shoes, a robber can wear high boots or striped leggings and dark boots or shoes.

To make your own eye patch for fancy dress robber for a boy, cut out a circle or oval of the required size from cardboard or felt. Make small holes along the edges and thread a thin elastic band through them.

A robber cannot do without a bandana or hat, like Jack Sparrow. The bandana can be tied on the head, or it can be tied as a neckerchief. Instead, you can use a scarf made of checkered, striped or plain fabric.

And you can do the next cleaning. Fold a long strip of fabric into several layers and tie it around the baby's head, making several knots at the back of the head.

Leather gloves (fingerless) are better suited for such a suit.

The robber can hide his face behind a mask. It can be made from paper or cardboard. Or you can use a black strip of fabric with holes cut out for the eyes. It is better to take knitted fabric, as it stretches well. Sew around the edges of the mask and don't forget the ties.

The indispensable attributes of a robber costume for a boy for the New Year were a knife, a hatchet or a pistol - toy or made of thick colored cardboard. You can hang a purse with “gold” on your belt: fill a small bag with coins, small tin or metal objects that, when shaken, will make a characteristic ringing sound.

Various metal chains will complement the look. A clip in the ear in the form of a round earring, which was traditionally worn by pirates and robbers, looks good. You can also select other parts if you think it is necessary.

And will complete the image of a robber for New Year's carnival appropriate makeup: mustache and beard drawn with black pencil. Can be depicted on the face and hands young man several scars, which, as you know, only adorn real men.

How to make/sew a New Year's costume "Robber"?

If we we are talking about the option to do, then we can use the things that we have at hand. This could simply be jeans, a black vest, a T-shirt or T-shirt, or a bandana. And the rest of the details of the costume can be done with your own hands. For example, we can make a black headband - we can cut out two circles from black fabric. We sew them along the edges using a machine, turn them inside out and carefully sew up the area that was not sewn up before.

We sew a black elastic band to the circle - the pirate bandage for one eye is ready.

This year my son plays the role of a robber in a skit in kindergarten; I can’t find such a costume anywhere in our town (there are musketeers, animals, knights, etc., but there is no robber). I decided that I would sew it myself, or rather not even sew it, but slightly alter the trousers, buy a new white shirt, and sew a bandana and vest. So, for my creativity I took the following picture, from which I will later make a robber costume. Here:



So, for the costume you will need a regular White shirt per size larger size child, wide black or brown sweatpants, about 0.5 meters of red fabric, 0.5 meters of black fabric, black socks and shoes.

We leave the shirt as it is, but the cat sweatpants cut off the bottom and deal with the torn edges. If desired, you can sew on a patch. From red fabric, cut out a triangle with sides 40/40/40 and a rectangle with sides 1.5 meters and 5 cm. For a suit, it is better to take fabric that will not have to be overcast in the future. Use the triangle as a bandana, and the rectangle as a belt. The vest can be sewn according to the pattern given below, but of course you need to take your own sizes.



A sea pirate is also a robber, but you need a robber costume from the fairy tale The Snow Queen.

We sew pants and dark fabric length below the knees. We make the bottom of the trouser legs torn.

Pants may have elastic. We sew on two or three patches.

We put on a shirt and a vest made of dark fabric over it, a woven belt is required

A strip of scarf on the head.



And as an example, the bandits from the Bremen Town Musicians. To avoid being very naked during New Year's party, We put on a black vest.



To avoid the wrong size, we ripped open the child’s old pants and made a pattern based on them.

The robber costume is suitable for an active, active boy.

Nowadays the Jack Sparrow pirate costume is very popular.

Here's how to make such a costume.

You can exchange a bandana for a hat and you will get a robber.

Another very simple option:



For such a costume you will need a vest, a belt, black trousers, and a red bandana. In hand - a pistol.

The bandit costume is universal for both girls and boys. The main elements of the costume are a bandage (scarf) around the neck, a bandana on the head (or a cap) and some kind of weapon in the hands (a gun, a knife).



See the photographs for the main elements of the costume.
