The New Year is already very close. It's time to draw up a New Year's menu, an entertainment program for the evening, figure out how to decorate an apartment and a Christmas tree. What about home decorations? Not bored evening dresses, but something out of the ordinary. Instead of colorful dresses and costumes, try having a themed party in the style of a fairy tale. If there are not only adults but also children among the guests, arrange with their parents to dress up their children in fairy-tale characters. Make your child a Baba Yaga costume with your own hands, give all the children small roles and play a scene from the fairy tale Frost. By the way, two problems are immediately solved in this way: what to dress the child in and in what style to decorate the apartment.
Assembling the suit
Here is an approximate image of the Baba Yaga children's costume. Look at the photo and choose the option of your choice:
The costume idea can be used not only for a home celebration, but also for a school or kindergarten New Year's party. If you remember well the image of Baba Yaga from childhood, then you must remember how she looks and what she is wearing. Basically, these are torn rags, a little stained with ash, an absurd scarf tied with the ends on the forehead, and felt boots. Of the accessories, she has a broom on which she flies, or a mortar, as well as large beads around her neck.
All these attributes can definitely be found in a closet or borrowed from a grandmother in a village house. Instead of a stupa, it’s better to take a broom, of course, so that it would be easier for your daughter to enter the role and easily run after the kids. If your granny collects old trash, then you will need this unnecessary rag in order to “assemble” a full-fledged costume for a girl. Don't forget to grab grandma's shawl to throw on the girl's shoulders or tie around the skirt as an apron. You can sew a few patches to your clothes, and put a kitchen towel in the pocket so that it hangs casually along the hem.
Under a scarf or bandana, you will have to buy a shaggy wig. You shouldn’t have any difficulties in searching for this attribute, because before the New Year holidays, there are merchants with souvenirs at every step on the street: wigs, ears, horns, decorative candles, figurines, Christmas tree decorations, Santa Claus hats. True, they sell mostly multi-colored wigs mixed with Christmas tree rain. If you do not care about the color of the wig, then buy it from the merchants. Well, if you want to fully embody the image of a fabulous old woman, then go to the store with wigs. You are unlikely to find a disheveled one there, but this does not matter at all, because you can ruffle it with a comb already at home.
We complement the image with accessories
Take a closer look at the image of the classic Baba Yaga from the 1964 fairy tale.
She has fangs! If you want to make the child's costume closer to this image, look on the shelves of the same traders for false teeth with fangs.
It is easy to see that they glow in the dark - it will be even more fun to play with them. Well, for the entourage, you can paint on a wart on your nose or chin, so that the image of Baba Yaga is not only scary, but also funny.
Well, don't forget about makeup (besides the wart on the face). In the same photo of the classic Baba Yaga, you can see that her eyes are lined in blue. So you take your eyeliner from your makeup bag (or borrow it from your friends if you don’t have one) and tint the eyes of your little Hedgehog a little. Maybe not even blue, but silver. All parents know that children are still chumaziki. It will be real happiness for a child if you stain his face with the same ash or coal so that it looks like she was smeared near the stove.
Adult outfits
A theme party in the Morozko style can also be arranged among adult guests, even if there is not a single child in the house. New Year's holidays are designed to dress up and fool around. So you can safely make an adult Baba Yaga costume and have fun with the guests for glory. Look at the options for costumes for girls or women in the photo.
Such an unusual and original carnival outfit is perfect for a New Year's themed party. It's time to get away from the standard images of snowflakes and princesses, because such a costume will be remembered both at a children's matinee and at a house party.
Recommendations for creating a Baba Yaga costume 
You don’t need much to make, you should look for old things at home. Blouses, blouses, long skirts and grandmother's colored scarves will do. Baba Yaga dressed in torn and dirty things, so to imitate antiquity and holes eaten by moths, you need to make them with scissors or sew on lurid lining. The hem of the skirt is unevenly torn and cut off part of the bottom for asymmetry.
If you find an unnecessary fur collar at home, you can use it for the vest of our costume or make an imitation of a cat out of it, which you can then put on the shoulder of the same vest, attaching it with threads and needles.
Important! Instead of a collar, you can use a ready-made animal toy.
Accessories are very important in this outfit. For the hump, an ordinary lump of cloth is used, placed under the clothes on the back. Take a broom in your hands, and buy a gray wig in a store or sew it from gray wool, tie a colorful scarf on top. It can be tied under the chin or at the back.
Although Baba Yaga is not a beauty, she is a woman and loved jewelry. Beads, earrings in the form of skulls are suitable here, they will perfectly complement the outfit. If you want to make them with your own hands, then you will need polymer clay, which, after complete solidification, must be covered with white paint. Ordinary cardboard is also suitable for jewelry. Cut out blanks of beads, put on a thread and sew on top.
Important! Shoes - trampled slippers, felt boots. They can be decorated with colored patches.

Fairy tales are beautiful works of art. In almost all fairy tales, one of the characters is Baba Yaga. We know this representative of evil spirits from early childhood! She first appears before us in Russian fairy tales, such how: "Swan geese", “Sister Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka.
In various works, she is either kind, helping people, or evil and cruel, stealing children and even trying to eat them. Woman-Yaga can be both a negative character and a positive one. For example, she steals her brother Ivanushka from her sister Alyonushka, and drowns Alyonushka herself in a pond, placing a heavy stone on her chest. But Ivan - Tsarevich and feeds and waters, soars in the bathhouse, and puts him to bed. Yes, it also instructs the mind and gives a magic ball on the road.
There is something in this dashing creature that frightens, attracts and attracts at the same time.
Favorite character Woman Yaga is also in kindergarten. We meet with her at matinees, performances, entertainment. At the same time, it is very important that the character looks bright, aesthetically pleasing and beautiful, because children perceive the world with bright colors.
Based on this rule, I designed suit different fabrics, inserts and appliqué. This made him festive and brightness.
Suit defense progress:
Woman Yaga runs in to the sound of a car holding the steering wheel.
I am Yagushka, I live on the edge of the forest,
I came not in vain, to show suit it's time.
My the costume is not so good, all in patches is not good-looking.
There is no beautiful painting in it, but do not think in vain.
I sewed it with love, told fortune telling at night.
She conjured and whispered, and knitted, and weaved,
She wove it with witchcraft, cast spells.
I cooked everything in a tub, fly agaric, trinkets.
Whirlwinds, tornadoes and fires, I added everything here.
I stirred everything with a spoon, and fried a little.
Oh, and I was very tired, I dozed off a little.
And when I woke up miraculously, I threw up my hands.
It turned out so beautiful, I came here right away.
I promise to be nice, on a holiday where the kids are!
Woman Yaga bows to the jury members and leaves.

At carnivals, such a famous fairy-tale character as Baba Yaga often takes part in performances. Indeed, in Russian folk tales, this heroine often plays, if not the main, then a secondary role. Therefore, the costume of Baba Yaga is so in demand. It is not very difficult to make it with your own hands. However, there are some nuances, which will be discussed later.
Terrible, hunchbacked Baba Yaga shaggy ...
If you believe the fairy tales, then this heroine was an ancient old woman. She had a huge crooked nose, a hump on her back, and a shaggy head. She also dressed in dirty tatters and used a broom in her witchcraft deeds. This is exactly how the fabulous Baba Yaga appears, whose costume is required in performances. Yes, and for the carnival, it is easiest to make this particular version of the attire.
To make such a Baba Yaga costume with your own hands, you just need to rummage through the places where old clothes fold. Grandmother's skirts and blouses, aprons, scarves will be used. To imitate holes, you can cut them with a knife or simply sew a patch over the dress with a contrasting color over the edge with a seam. Yes, and the hem of the skirt is recommended to cut off unevenly, swish.
If there is any old fur collar at home, then it can be used. Everyone remembers how the witch loved her cat. You can attach a fur "stuffed animal" to the old woman's shoulder with the help of threads and a needle. And you can use a soft toy for this role.
Accessories are an important part of the costume
To simulate a hump, a lump of fabric is suitable, which is tied to the back. Baba Yaga is handed a broom. A wig can be bought in a store, or can be made from gray unspun wool. The scarf is tied both under the chin and behind. Sometimes they even intercept the corners at the back of the head, bringing the ends to the forehead.
Do not forget that this sorceress is still a woman who loves jewelry. And the "jewelry" should be in the style of an evil witch. Beads, earrings and a belt made of skulls will wonderfully “decorate” the costume of Baba Yaga. You can make them with your own hands from polymer clay, covering them with white paint after hardening.
There is an option for making cardboard decorations. Details are cut out and strung on a thread, stitching them along the upper edge. But if you wish, buying Halloween-style decorations today is not a big problem.
The original shoes also go to the Baba Yaga costume. You can make fluffy slippers with your own hands using an old fur coat. Although trampled boots are also suitable, on which it is also recommended to sew patches.
Sexy Baba Yaga
Since you can make a Baba Yaga costume not only in the style of a real old fairy tale, but also in a new way, there is a second version of this carnival outfit. Sexy witches today are an extremely sought-after fancy dress.
It also does not need to specifically buy fabric, cut and sew a robe, since it is quite possible to make a Baba Yaga fashionista costume from improvised materials. A broom will be a mandatory attribute. Patches on clothes, torn tights, prints (drawings or applications) in the form of skulls are possible. Everything else is selected according to the taste and imagination of the master costumer. The more extravagant the outfit of such Baba Yaga, the cooler it will look. The combination of the incongruous is one of the main conditions for the success of such a suit. Therefore, patched felt boots and fishnet tights, together with a short bright red leather skirt, are perfect for a holey downy shawl that once fell down, tied crosswise on the chest. Yes, and colorful wigs with bows and bouffant will be appropriate in this case.
Yaguzhelika Koshcheevna Bessmertnaya
And if we assume that once Baba Yaga had a spouse? It must have been Koshcheyushka the Immortal! And from this love a sweet creature could be born - a witch with a patronymic Koshcheevna and by the name Immortal.
To create a costume for such a Baba Yaga-2, you need a super-sexy outfit, but slightly close to the image of Koshchei the Immortal - the daughter, after all, you need to take into account this nuance. Skeleton drawings are what will be needed in this outfit. You can draw the bones with paint, then the costume will serve several times. And if you make an appliqué out of paper and simply sew it along the edge with a needle onto a living thread, then after a holiday or performance you can easily remove these details.
Crocheted nose, bone leg - what kind of old woman is she?
Sometimes you need to make a Baba Yaga costume for a girl. Of course, options like "sexy" will not be very appropriate here. Therefore, it is better to use the first one - to make a hump, put on an old torn skirt, a stretched jacket, an apron.
It would be nice to make a half mask - a false nose. It is made from papier-mâché. To make it more convenient to fasten the half-mask, you can add eyebrows, on which black thick eyebrows are then glued. And in the temporal edges of the eyebrows, holes are made where an elastic band is inserted and tied. This half mask will not fall off.
If the nose begins to move away from the face (this happens), then for better retention, you can use glasses without glasses. Only it is best to take this accessory of the “grandmother-old lady” option.
New Year's masquerade is a great opportunity to dress up as your favorite hero. Along with pirates, snowflakes, fairies, robots and snowmen, Baba Yaga is a popular character. Let's learn how to make a costume for a real Baba Yaga quickly and easily with your own hands.
This well-known heroine of Russian folklore is easily recognizable by her hooked nose, a patched skirt, a scarf on her head and a broom in her hands. Baba Yaga, although a negative character, often comes to the aid of the main characters of Russian folk tales. Specialized carnival costume stores are replete with offers to buy a Baba Yaga outfit for girls. But in fact, this image is easy to create at home, since all the necessary material is at hand.
We make a real Baba Yaga costume with our own hands
Necessary materials:- jacket with long sleeves;
- a vest made of coarse fabric or burlap;
- dark heel-length skirt;
- boots or galoshes;
- handkerchief;
- papier-mâché artificial nose;
- dark leggings or stockings.
Making a Baba Yaga outfit for a child from improvised materials is very simple. This guide will help you.
- We decorate the sleeves of the jacket with a fringe, we sew patches along their entire length. It is advisable to use contrasting thick threads for sewing.
- We make a couple of holes on the vest. If there is no ready-made vest at hand, you can make it yourself. To do this, we cut out the details from burlap or coarse fabric and sew them together so that the edges of the product look uneven. We sew a large button on one floor, and a loop on the other.
- We also sew a couple of patches on the skirt. For a costume of a fairy-tale character, you need to choose the simplest skirt without unnecessary decorative elements. On top of it, you can wear a light, but not white, apron.
- Wear stockings or socks on your feet. Pull on short boots from above, it is best to wear galoshes.
- Put a scarf on your head. Its color doesn't matter. The scarf can be tied like a bandana or knotted at the chin. A wig is optional: you can give your hair a tousled look with hair gel.
- Using a thin elastic band, put on an artificial nose.
- Apply scary makeup to your face. Draw wide black eyebrows with ink, and freckles and imitation wrinkles with an eyeliner. You can stick warts made of polystyrene on your face.
A bright image can be supplemented with a broom in the hands, beads of berries and mushrooms around the neck. Such a step-by-step instruction is also suitable for adults who decide to take part in a children's matinee or at a theme party.
We make a papier-mâché nose.It is not necessary to buy a false nose in a store. Most likely, in your house there is everything you need to make it yourself. We invite you to view the detailed photo guide.
- Make a mold of the nose from plasticine. Let it be big and hooked.
- Tear the newspaper into pieces of 2 cm. It is necessary to tear the paper, and not cut it with scissors. In this case, the pieces will lie on the mold gently, without tubercles and irregularities.
- Apply wetted pieces to the cast. This should be done with an overlap, leaving no gaps and air bubbles. From the second layer, it is necessary to generously coat the workpiece with PVA glue. There should be about ten layers of paper in total so that the finished nose does not deform during operation.
- Dry the product for several days without removing it from the plasticine blank. After the glue has completely dried, carefully remove the nose from the cast, trim the edges with scissors, cut a hole in the bottom so that you can breathe.
- On the sides of the accessory, make thin holes and thread the elastic through them.
- To paint the gouache blank in flesh color, so that the paint holds better, you can apply a layer of varnish.
If you follow all the conditions of the instructions, then the artificial nose will be very durable and will last a long time.
Additional attributes of Baba Yaga.The wicked old woman is often depicted as hunchbacked. If you want to emphasize this defect, then you will need a small pillow or a piece of fabric folded in a bale. We fix the impromptu hump on the back with the help of belts. You can take a small backpack and put a pillow or cloth in it. Put on a backpack under a vest.
Carrying a full-fledged broom is inconvenient, especially for a child. Making a smaller copy of the pomelo is not difficult. It is necessary to find a stick about a meter long and collect dry long branches on the street. We wind the branches with wire a little higher than the end of the stick.
For beads, we use dried mushrooms and berries, such as hawthorn, cranberries or rose hips. We string them individually on a thick thread with a needle.
