DIY newspaper clothes for boys. Graceful and fragile newspaper dresses

Do you want to make an elegant and original dress in a couple of hours from garbage bags, packages of chips, newspapers? Make sure it's possible.

DIY bag dress

Such evening dresses can be mastered very quickly. Take a black trash bag with a capacity of 120 liters. For the first sample, you need to cut the bag from the bottom and put it on yourself. To keep it tight at the top, tie it here with the lacing.

For such models, it is better to take garbage bags with ties. You can position them on top or bottom. With the second option, you get a balloon skirt.

It remains to put on a wide belt, and the dress from the packages is ready. In this one you can come to a theme party, to a school ball. Sometimes in educational institutions contests are held for dresses made with their own hands from scrap materials. This will become just a way out of the situation at the carnival, since almost nothing is needed to create it, but it is done very quickly.

For the second model, the bag is draped with tape at the top and bottom. The shoulder of the third dress is the corner of the bag. It is worn asymmetrically and is also draped with tape. The rest of the new items presented in the photo, you will create in the same way from the same material.

If you only have 10 minutes of time, plus:

trash bag with strings;
scissors;
desire to make a new thing.

Then turn the bag over with the strings down, carefully cut a larger hole in its bottom (for the head), and two smaller ones on both sides - for the hands. Put on a new thing, tie the lacing at the bottom, and you can flaunt in a dress made with your own hands.

Lush evening dress

If you have a T-shirt that matches cellophane, use it to create the top. Then attach it to her sleeves with an invisible one, or sew a flower made with your own hands from scraps of packages. To do this, you will need a cellophane tape 8–12 cm wide, about 50 cm long. Fold it in half lengthwise so that the upper tier is shorter than the lower one, collect the tape on a thread.

Make sure that the thread does not jump out. To do this, fold it in half, make an impressive knot, thread a needle between the two sections of the thread. After sewing the entire ribbon, carefully tighten, cut the thread and tie 2 pieces of the thread into a knot.

The flower is ready. You can sew a skirt from bags of any size. If they are small, inflate each one, tie the top with a knot. Use a large trash bag to make a straight or slightly flared skirt. Tape each bag to the top of the bag. If the base of the skirt is fabric, sew with a needle and thread.

Garbage bags big size will also add splendor to an extravagant outfit. First inflate the bottom of the bag, then twist it, tie it into a knot. Inflate the next, upper sector. Tie it too to separate it from the next, third part. Then attach the entire chain of inflated sectors of the bag to the base.

It is not necessary to make the new thing black. If you have blue bags, you get an equally chic outfit.

different colors can be used;

a new thing is created in a matter of minutes.

You can make such an elegant dress for a girl with your own hands. For it you will need:

packages of yellow and blue colors;
thread with a needle or tape;
scissors;
felt-tip pen.

Take a cellophane bag with ties, attach it to the young model, mark with a felt-tip pen where to cut for the open back and where to cut the bag at the bottom so that it covers the hips.

The tie will subsequently hold on to the neck, thereby securing the dress on the body. So that it also holds perfectly on the back.

Now measure from the baby's waist to the top of the knees. This length you will have a tiered skirt. Let it be the "A" value. Fold the bags one on top of the other, measure the value "A", cut off. If the bags are long, then one will make several skirts.

Attach the first double-sided tape to the top so that the shuttlecocks form. Glue or sew this part to the waist of the workpiece, on top - the next one. Make the entire lower part of the girl's dress in the same way.

To make the skirt lush and look spectacular, make the lower one longer. Each subsequent detail is slightly shorter than the previous one. Then the skirt of the dress will look like the outfit of ballroom dancers.

Apron for girls

Finishing the topic of garbage bags, you should tell how you can make a waterproof apron out of them. It is irreplaceable when sculpting from plasticine, polymer clay, on the kitchen. The beauty of such a product, and the fact that it is done quickly, is inexpensive, so an apron for a girl can be made, even every day.

The presented apron pattern clearly demonstrates how to make this irreplaceable thing with your own hands. Fold the blue bag in half lengthwise, making a cutout for the neckline near the fold at the top, and for the arms on the other side. Expand the product and you can try on an apron for a girl. Here's what you get.

Please note that the side and top seams on the bag must be left, then the apron will be solid on the shoulders and on the sides and will hold well.

Newspaper dress

Here is another option for making an outfit from improvised means.

Such a dress from newspapers looks great, and a girl in this attire will become a decoration of a school ball, any other holiday. It will take a little longer to make new clothes than for previous cellophane models, but it's worth it.
Here are the materials you will use in your work:

newspapers;
thin Velcro;
belt;
pencil;
long ruler;
sewing accessories.

A dress made of paper consists of two large parts: a shelf with an upper skirt and a lower skirt. Let's start with the first one. For her you need 8 newspapers. They need to be expanded, folded in pairs to make 4 large blanks.

We take the first one and start making counter folds on it. Step back 1.5 cm from the edge, fold it over, turn over the newspaper and fold the next strip 2.5 cm wide.

Now turn the sheet over again and make a fold with a width of 1.25 cm. Thus, arrange the entire first double newspaper. Iron it with a not very hot iron or carefully with your hand to show the folds well. Here's how to do pleating on paper.

Next, attach the workpiece to yourself or to the model on which you are sewing a dress, mark the waist line, sew along this marking on sewing machine.

In the same way, make parts from the rest of the newspapers, folded in pairs, and sew the blanks along side seam between themselves.

Put on the resulting mini-dress, tie it with a belt. Pin off the folds at the top with a pin and draw a line for the neckline.

Sew the folds first along the top of the newspaper, then along the neckline and trim off any excess with scissors.

Now try on this part again, draw the line of the armhole, cut along the marking.

To make a self-made dress fit well, button up and sit firmly, sew a long Velcro back to one half of the back and to the other too.

Make the skirt straight by cutting off the excess.

Now measure the length of the straps, cut them out of a strip of newspaper folded across in half. At the junction, bend another 5–7 mm on each side for a seam, sew.

Sew the straps to the front and back, first trying on and basting with a pin.

The top of the outfit and the skirt are ready.

Now you need to sew a petticoat, then the paper dress will be lush and of the desired length. To do this, expand the newspapers into one layer. Sew each one down the top, random folds. When the first newspaper runs out, take the second one, put it on the previous one by 10 cm, also stitch the folds over the top, then use another newspaper. Take as many of them as you need to sew the petticoat.

Gently fold the newspapers stitched on top and sew again, departing 1 cm from the seam made.

Sew Velcro on top and edge on one side and on the other so that the petticoat is easy to put on and take off.

Next, fold the newspaper several times 10 cm wide to cut out a tight belt. Sew it along the entire length from one side and the other, sew Velcro to the ends, after which the belt is ready and the dress from newspapers, made with your own hands, too.

Another style of outfit from newspapers

Such an extravagant outfit will be indispensable for a Halloween themed party.

For the top, you need to cut off the double newspaper so that it covers the bodice and stitch it to it, cutting off the excess. The corset will become both the belt and the top of the dress. To make a skirt, you will need to roll many paper bags from newspapers, securing the corner of each with a stapler so that the paper does not unfold. Now, using the same tool, connect the bags together to make a skirt.

The base of the dress can be sewn from fabric, from double newspaper or from a trash bag. Bags are attached to these materials with a stapler or tape, which soon turn into a fluffy long skirt.

Paper will also help make a large collar. Place several newspapers on top of each other, cut a circle out of them. Find its center, cut a round hole inside, slightly larger than the diameter of the neck. Now make a cut from it to the edge of the circle, unfold the blanks. Attach paper bags between them. Sew one side of the collar to the left and the other to the right bodice.

In conclusion, you need to make an original flower out of paper, nails from newspapers, and the outfit of a charming vampire or other fabulous lady is ready.

Modern outfits made from potato chips

This is also not difficult to do. If you have an unnecessary T-shirt, an old but favorite dress - these things will serve as a basis.

Wash the chip bags and stitch them onto your old dress.

If you are using a T-shirt, first cut the underskirt out of the fabric, sew to it, and then attach the bags to the base.

They can be sewn on by twisting on inner side... Then the dress from the packages will turn out to be monochromatic and shiny. If you want, match the pattern by attaching packages of the same color in rows or in a different order. Here's what you can do then.

You can make the skirt more lush by attaching a rustling container that has been previously inflated and tied with rubber bands.

Another option: cut the bags on the side, stitch them together on a typewriter, creating a solid canvas. Now you can create a dress from it using a pattern or drape bags at your discretion, fastening the canvas on the back with Velcro.

Such original outfits can be quickly created from the material that is always at hand. Such a dress will cost a penny, but it will look extravagant and chic!

Materials (edit)

So how to make a dress from newspapers? First of all, we need any unnecessary newspapers, read and used, glue, a lot of tape, a stapler, salt and a dress, a mannequin or a living model.

Beginning of work

The first stage is preparatory. After all, making dresses from newspapers is not easy at all. We take the newspapers prepared in advance, cut them all into strips ten centimeters wide and fold each one longitudinally four times to make the paper thicker and much stronger. Now we call our live model (we take a mannequin or measure everything according to another dress) and put two strips on her shoulders, like shoulder straps. Direct two more elements taken to the cleft between the breasts at an angle of forty-five degrees to get the classic V-shaped neckline. Wrap the other end of the strips around the shoulders or neck to form the neckline of the dress. We fasten everything with a stapler or simple glue. We take two more pieces of paper and wrap them under the hands of the model, forming a base for the sleeves. We attach the ends of the strips to the shoulder straps.

Stage two: making the solution

Newspaper dresses need something to hold together. For this purpose, we prepare a special mixture of PVA glue and plain water. Add two tablespoons of salt to it, mix thoroughly.

Stage three: smearing

The basis for the dress is already there. Now we take long strips, dip them into the solution and apply them around the body so that part of the back and neck remain open. There should be no more than four layers of newspapers. We leave everything to dry. We take out the scissors, cut on the back (in the back of our bodice), punch holes for the lacing and leave to dry. Select long stripes and add them vertically to the base, simply repeating the natural shapes of a living model or a chosen dress. The ends of the strips must be glued or stitched together, as it is convenient for anyone. To do just add more and more elements.

Skirt shape

Dresses from newspapers can be made in a variety of ways: straight, sunlit, with wedges, even with a kind of crinoline. If you want to create, you need to fold newspaper sheets so that they turn out to be an accordion (that is, alternate in different directions). It will take about twenty sheets for this. Sewing or gluing them together, we attach all this to a ready-made corset (by the way, you can also use scotch tape). From the inside out, the entire dress must be glued with tape to make it stronger and prevent the newspapers from tearing. It is better to make several layers of tape around the neck, hem and waist, so it is safer. At the joints and breaks, it is also worth strengthening the dress with the same adhesive tape.

The final stage

Newspaper dresses (the photos show this very clearly) seem light, weightless, as if they are easy to tear. Actually this is not true. To strengthen the product, a layer of varnish or glue is applied on top. So the paper will not stain the skin, will not be able to damp and tear. However, you still need to put on such an outfit carefully and with outside help. A variety of tinsel, sequins, stickers, bows are quite suitable for decoration. Wear gently, avoiding water, strong winds, fire and sudden movements.

How to make a dress from newspapers with your own hands in various styles

We offer a small workshop on making paper dresses in various styles.

For making a dress from a newspaper in greek style you need a piece of plain fabric. Take a piece of fabric and slide the fabric over the mannequin, exposing just one shoulder. Now take a large sheet of old newspaper and fold it so that it completely covers the fabric that is slung over the mannequin's shoulder. Now, step by step, wet the newsprint with PVA glue and glue it to the fabric in the shoulder area. Press the newspaper firmly against the fabric surface. It should completely mask the surface of the fabric. In the course of this arrangement of materials, the fabric will be the base, and the newspaper will be the decorative layer.

Now just cover the linen with newspaper material. This is very easy to accomplish. Thoroughly moisten newsprint paper with PVA glue, then apply it to the fabric, pressing the material tightly. After completing all the manipulations, cut off all unnecessary pieces of newspaper. Leave your paper dress to dry completely. Now your unusual outfit ready.

Now you can start making a dress skirt from newspapers. Take a piece of newspaper and fan it. In childhood, we all made a fan out of newspaper, so you won't be able to repeat this simple manipulation special labor... After that, make a second such fan and fasten it to the first with a stapler.

Repeat these steps until you have completed the first tier of the Moulin Rouge style skirt. When you start shaping the second tier, remember that it should only cover the back of the skirt, while opening the legs in front. So, tier by tier, make a newspaper skirt, the hem of which will be short in the front, and, on the contrary, long in the back. If you want to decorate such a dress in an original way, you can make roses out of red colored paper and put them on a skirt and corset. Such jewelry will be in perfect harmony with the general style of the dress from the newspapers.

In more complex options for making paper dresses, you can sew newspaper material using a sewing machine. This design is more durable and stable. A fabric can also be used as a base.
