Step-by-step instructions for tailoring a wolf costume for a boy with your own hands
Step # 1 Decorate the hoodie
From a suitably sized sweatshirt we will make the "skin" of the wolf. To simulate the abdomen of light gray felt.
On paper, draw an oval with carved cloves. We cut the blank of the tummy and transfer it to the felt. On the fabric, we cut the workpiece without allowances for seams, since we will sew along the very edge from the front side with decorative stitching.
We pin the finished part to the front of the children's sweatshirt, and carefully lay the machine line with a small zigzag, trying to walk clearly along the contour of the part. You can make a seam with your hands. The finished part should be like this.
Step number 2 Decorate the pants of the wolf
Below the legs we will sew strips with cloves that imitate the hair of a wolf. To do this, you need a felt of the same color as for the breast.
On paper we draw an even strip 7 cm wide, the length of which is equal to the circumference of the legs. On the bottom of the strip we draw beautiful cloves.
We transfer the pattern to felt, cut out without allowance for seams. We will sew in the same way as the breast. The bottom of the finished legs should be like this.
Step №3 Sew patches on the knees
From dark gray felt we cut out small blanks in the form of patches. We make edges with cloves. We sew the details on the machine with a neat decorative seam in the area of the child's knees. Like this.

How to make a wolf mask for a costume
An indispensable attribute of a children's costume is the wolf mask, by which the hero must be recognizable. You can make it from the remnants of felt and fur.
To make a mask, you need the following material:
• remnants of gray, dark gray, white and black felt;
• the remains of white fur;
• elastic band for fastening;
• threads in tone;
• glue;
• scissors;
• mask template made of thick cardboard.
Before proceeding with the manufacture of the mask, you need to make a template for the child. It is best to use the above pattern, which is transferred to thick cardboard.
Step # 1 mask pattern
Lay out the template blanks on felt of the corresponding color and cut along the contour.
After that, try on the main details of the pattern for the child and outline the holes for the eyes. You need to do this carefully so that the measurements exactly match the cut, and the mask looks beautiful.
Step # 2 Connect the mask details
All the small parts of the mask must be joined together with glue so that they do not move. To do this, on the reverse side, the parts are lubricated with a thin layer of glue and strongly pressed. After this, the blanks need to be ironed.
Step №3 Decorate the mask of the wolf
On the front side of the mask slightly increase the section of the eyes of the wolf. From the dark gray felt we cut out the arcuate details and put them between the two layers of the mask. We glue the parts with glue. This will emphasize the eyes of a fabulous character and give them expressiveness. The mask now looks more like a wolf face, doesn't it?
Step №4 Putting the mask
Our do-it-yourself mask for a wolf costume for a boy is almost ready. There are a few small details left.
How will the mask stay on the baby? To do this, measure the desired piece of gum around the circumference of the head. We put gum between the layers of the mask and glue it with glue. Iron the parts with an iron.
Fold the two main parts of the mask together, with the wrong side inward. We break off the product with pins so that the parts do not warp and do not travel while sewing. We trim the mask on the front side with a decorative stitch or a small zigzag. We try to work carefully, without rushing.
When the mask is ready, try it on the child and decorate the ears of the wolf with thin white fur. It’s so simple and quick, without special skills, you can sew a wolf mask for a carnival costume.
