Surprisingly, wild boars are probably even more dangerous animals in the forest than wolves. But many people make wolves, and only a few make wild boars. I also noticed that the wild boar is often associated with hunting, knives, bone carving, and trophy animals.

Elena Teploukhova from Yekaterinburg professionally creates unusual cakes with decorations. "Any cakes - wedding, children's, anniversary, corporate, I make only from natural fresh products (no margarine and chemical powders used in pastry shops). All decorations are made from edible sugar paste... If it is too sweet for your taste, you can skip it (the pasta is easily separated from the cake, the decorations can be left as a souvenir - the shelf life of the sugar decor is not limited)."

Boar cake, as a gift to the hunter.




Olga Bokareva from Moscow creates interior felt compositions: panels, stuffed heads, soft "stones", "skins" of animals in the form of rugs. What I love about wool is the variety of uses. Just think - there is only one material, but everyone uses it in different ways :)

Boar Sema is mine new job... A gift for DR to a valiant hunter (who has never hit the target on a hunt) and just a noble and generous man. The pig is close to the real one in size. Made of sheep wool using dry felting technique.

Interior decoration "trophy boar".


Ekaterina from Moscow is engaged in knitting, and her range of interests is very large, these are not only dolls and toys, but also sling buses, children's clothes, bags, jewelry ...
Author about myself: "I have an art education - designer.

Creativity is something I can't imagine my life without. I've been knitting (and not only ..) as long as I can remember ... Mom never forbade spoiling yarn :)

She tied her first toy when she gave birth to her little son. And then I realized that this is only the beginning of an interesting soft and fluffy path, without which life would not be so complete. "

The wild boar Oddi was tied up according to the customer's oral description, as a birthday present. The birthday boy was born in the Year of the Boar :)

Craftsmen from "Skazkodrom" made a boar-airborne trooper.

Konstantin Polovko from Moscow works with wool, creates felt toys and panels. Interesting to look at male gaze... The works have more clear lines, abstraction or brevity.

Olesya Salova from Zelenograd creates felt toys.

"I love to invent and create toys with my own hands. For more than 20 years I have been honing my skills, creating more and more new handicrafts, investing in them not only invaluable work, but also the warmth of my soul, endless love."

Wild boar and snake. The toys were made to order. The composition consists of two figures that are not connected to each other, which allows them to be displayed in different combinations, as the owner wants. The snake has a metal frame, which makes it possible to set various poses to it. The toy is an interior decoration that will fit into the design of any apartment or office.
The height of the figures in the composition: 12 cm.
Technique: dry felting.
Materials: 100% carded, 100% felting wool, plastic, acrylic paints, varnish.

Marina Boroda from Kaliningrad is in the youth center of the Hermitage, in an Italian club. For holidays, events, performances, he creates the necessary attributes - clothes, masks, toys. "I have not taken any courses anywhere, I just take and do it by trial and error :)" Marina is also engaged in paper toys, quilling. Many paper toy diagrams can be found on their family site.

The Pig will become the symbol of 2019. Before the New Year, schools and kindergartens often organize contests for the best thematic craft, for this you want to make something unusual and original. There are many step-by-step master classes- how to make a do-it-yourself pig craft with step by step photos and video.

The pig is a sincere old woman, she is courteous, kind and extremely scrupulous. She can be trusted with any intimate secret, she will never give or divulge the secrets entrusted to her. She is distinguished by honesty, will never lie, even for her own good, she is simple and vulnerable. But she is not as weak as she is good-natured. According to the Chinese horoscope, the boar is a symbol of pleasure, innocence, passion and fertility. The year of the pig will be successful and favorable for everyone!

For this holiday, you can make a bunch of crafts with your own hands. A holiday gift can be absolutely any, but it will be better if it contains the symbol of the year - a pig. Decide in advance what you want to do for the coming year. The gift should be pleasant, beautiful and useful. But whatever one may say, but every person likes to receive a gift made with his own hands.

Here are the actual ideas:

  1. Sew or tie small copies of the piglets.
  2. Make a postcard with a pig and be sure to write a congratulation in it - a great gift for a colleague and just as an addition to the main present.
  3. Make your pigs a soft toy.
  4. From plastic bottle you can make a piggy bank.
  5. You can also make pillows for a sofa, armchair, and even a car. Lovely pigs will warm and delight those to whom you present them.

Although the piglets are pink and cute, they love measuring puddles and messing around in the mud. Their often delicate skin color is hidden under a thick brown layer of earth or clay. In this lesson, we blind a pink pig that bathes in a swamp. Let's start the lesson with the selection of material, then knead the mass in our hands, roll up the suitable parts and assemble them into a single product.

Modeling is a useful and exciting activity that is aimed at development mental abilities child in the same way as drawing or creating appliqués from paper.

Perhaps you will need such a figurine if you are creating a farm, playing an exciting game of reproducing animal sounds, or staging a play about three pigs. In any case, creating animals with your own hands is always fun.

What you need to work:

  • The main material is pink plasticine;
  • Brown plasticine;
  • Chestnut or acorn - will help save weight;
  • Toothpick - head and torso fasteners.

For work, we can take 1 block of plasticine to get a miniature figurine. An acorn or chestnut will save weight. These fruits have a round shape, so you can mask such a frame inside the body. In any case, we will have to show a fat creature, because all the pigs are very well-fed, so the extra volume of the body will not hurt.

From the prepared pink plasticine you need to make: the body (for it, prepare an acorn or chestnut and a large cake), legs, head and tail. Cut the block into pieces and knead each piece individually in your hands, if you have a dense, not wax plasticine.

Stick a pink cake on the acorn, place between your palms and smooth, roll out the surface. Next, you need to make a ball-head, attach using a toothpick. But the matter is complicated by the dense material that we placed inside the body.

You will have to first make a hole in the acorn so that you can then insert a piece of a toothpick into it. Also make small fragments that will allow you to copy the appearance of the planned pet: ears, patch, tail.

Glue a wide patch on the ball. Sell ​​the dents twice. Glue a little above the eye, and cut out the mouth a little below.

Connect the head with the body with a toothpick. Glue the ears to the head, lowering the cakes down. Glue the tail back and twist it into a spiral. The figurine already looks like a pig.

Make your legs. There is no need to do each one individually. You can form simple rectangular pieces, cut along the tip of a toothpick, then glue two hooves to each piece.

Attach your legs to your torso. Also make a large brown plasticine cake - this will be a swamp where we will place our cute pig. She will love to swim in the sun.

The dweller of the farm - the plasticine pig is ready. She doesn't grunt, doesn't run away, doesn't ask for food - it's just a toy that looks very much like a real animal. Perhaps this is one of those three famous piglets who outsmarted the evil wolf.

In this master class, we will make just such a pig out of an ordinary plastic bottle.

It is better to choose a bottle with a pink cap. But you can also paint any cover with pink acrylic paint.

Cut out the middle of the bottle - we need to shorten it.

We connect the upper and lower parts, if you wish, you can fix them with glue.

  • four foot covers;
  • printed ears and eyes.

You can print our sketch in A4 format.

Cut out all the elements, also do not forget to cut out the strip for the tail.

Using hot glue, fix the ears, eyes and pink jumpsuit.

We attach the legs.

Our glamorous pig is ready!

Piglet - DIY pom-pom toy

Such a fluffy and soft pig will turn out from knitting threads.

We need:

  • woolen threads;
  • pink chenille wire;
  • felt;
  • button;
  • ready-made eyes;
  • cardboard.

We cut out two rings from cardboard: an outer circle with a diameter of 7 cm, an inner one 5 cm.

We cut the yarn 1-1.5 meters long into 5-6 threads.

We put two rings together and begin to wrap them with yarn.

We wind until the hole closes.

The last circles can be dragged with sticks.

Then we cut the yarn along the outer edge with sharp scissors.

We spread the rings a little, wrap the middle with thread and tie.

All that remains is to remove the rings and shake the pompom.

We make legs, a tail from chenille wire and glue it.

I didn't have a pink button the right size for the piglet's piglet, so I painted the matching button with pink nail polish.

We glue all this to our pompom.

The soft pig is ready!

It took me half a skein of standard yarn.

Origami bookmark

Many parents and all educators devote a lot of time and attention to development. fine motor skills children. Why do this? By developing fine motor skills, you also develop the brain, that is, attention, thinking and memory. How to do it?

For the development of children's fine motor skills, special techniques have been created and many books have been written. But even without knowing all this, you can come up with something new, interesting and useful for your child every day.

For example, you can make an unusual bookmark for books in the shape of a pig using the origami technique. By itself, this unique ancient technique is already designed to develop fingers and hands, as well as attention.

Materials required for making a bookmark:

  • colored paper pink double-sided;
  • scissors;
  • Ruler and pencil;
  • glue;
  • button.

First, we need to build a square with a side of 12-15 cm using a ruler and a pencil.

Carefully cut it out and fold it diagonally once.

Now you need to fold the two corners to the fold, as shown in the photo.

Fold the side corners and wrap them in the resulting envelope. The blank corner is ready. Now we begin to revive it.

We will make a pig out of the resulting corner, so we need to cut the ears out of the same pink paper. A pink large button will serve as a piglet. The eyes can be taken ready for toys, but you can draw and then cut them out.

Gently glue the button, eyes and ears. It turned out funny funny pig which will store the page and you can easily find it.

And what will it be original gift for dad or grandma! All the more valuable because it is made with children's pens.

Each of us has pencils and pens. Especially in children. And so that they are all in one place and not get lost, we will crochet a cute pencil holder in the shape of a pig. This pencil holder will perfectly fit into the nursery. In addition, it will not be difficult to tie it.

To knit pencil holders we need:

  • light pink, dark pink and black yarn;
  • hook;
  • needle;
  • a little padding polyester;
  • Cup.

We start by knitting the bottom of the pencil holder. We will tie a circle of columns with a crochet. We knit with light pink yarn.

We will make a sliding loop and knit twelve columns into it. Starting from the second row, we will make increments. In one row in each loop, in the other through the loop, in the next through three loops, and so on. We knit a circle to the size of the bottom of the glass, which will be the base of the pencil holder. We have the bottom ready. It is better to take a heavy glass for the base so that the pencil holder stands firmly and does not fall.

And now we need to slightly raise our next row. To do this, we knit a row behind the back walls of the loops and do not make any more increments. We start to knit the walls.

We knit rows until our knitted cup hides the base. So we tied a regular glass.

We will tie the nose of the patch. We knit it with dark pink yarn. We sew two loops and knit six single crochet into one. We will make increments from the second row. In one row in each eyelet and in the other row through the loop.

Then we knit a row behind the back walls of the loops and knit another row with single crochets.

Now we will knit the ears of the pig. We knit them with dark pink yarn.

We will make four stitches and in the initial loop we will make two double crochets. We knit four reversal rows. And in each of them we make an increase in the first and last column.

With light pink yarn we tie each ear with single crochet columns.

We will tie the eyes with black yarn. In the sliding loop, we will make ten half-columns with a crochet and tighten the loop.

On the patch we embroider minks with black yarn. We sew a patch to the middle of our knitted glass, filling it a little with padding polyester.

And we sew the ears on the sides, folding their wide part in half. To sew the ears evenly, you can find the middle and count the same number of columns in two directions.

Then we sew on the eyes.

All that remains is to embroider a smile. We also embroider it with black yarn.

The crochet piggy pencil is ready!

DIY application from foamiran "Pig"

You will get a little pink pig if you repeat this interesting lesson. Naturally, it is intended for children, they are the big fans of papermaking. The figurine will turn out to be unique, because you need to make it exclusively from circles. In order to somehow diversify the work, we will replace paper with foamiran - an unfamiliar material with a unique soft texture. It will be even more interesting to work with him.

If you have a pink leaf, then it is perfect for a little pink pig, if not, then take paper or foamiran at your discretion. The circles will become parts for making crafts, such a shape will allow you to reproduce the fact that the pig is chubby.

To make the piglet applique, prepare:

  • pink foamiran;
  • blue cardboard;
  • compass;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • white paper coin;
  • black marker.

How to make an applique in the form of a pig with your own hands step by step.

Blue cardboard will become a canvas for an interesting foamiran applique. The pink leaf will later become a pig; you need to cut out a sufficient number of circles of a suitable size from it. Such a minimum of materials will be used.

Cut 3 large and 1 small circle from the pink foamiran. The small circle will become the head, one of the larger ones will become the body of the pet. Leave them unchanged. Cut the remaining two large circles in half. While you need 3 semicircles to simulate legs, the hind legs will visually merge, so the second one can not be shown.

Glue a large whole circle in the center - this is the body of the pig, you need to position it so that all other parts of the body fit onto the prepared sheet. Directly to the round body, adjoin one half of the circle - a leg, push the other leg forward a little. But make these 2 details on the same level. Thus, the front legs will already be in place.

On top of the two semicircles, stick a small circle - this will be the head of the animal. Add a leg at the back, turning the piece with the convex side towards the head.

Now you need to use the remaining half from the third large circle. At the second stage of work, we cut 2 of them in half, but only 3 halves were used for the legs. So, the last piece will be used for the ears and tail. Cut 3 segments. Thus, the initially prepared parts will be triangular.

Glue the ears to the head, drop the tips down and hold with glue. Glue another segment in the back in the form of a tail, bend it a few times to show an imitation of a hook. Foamiran figurine is ready. Now you can design the muzzle. Stick a white paper coin in front - a patch, draw black dots. Also make 2 slits - eyes. That's all the manipulation of materials.

The piglet turned out to be very positive, this children's craft will appeal to all kids, because it is easy to perform and bright.

By the same principle, you can perform completely different familiar or exotic animals. Experiments are always interesting and useful for the development of children.

How to make another one, here is such an application.

How to make a chestnut pig with your own hands

Of course, pigs are most often depicted as pink, and chestnuts are often depicted as brown material. We have 2 ways - to mask the chestnuts under a thin layer of pink plasticine, or to use the pink mass only fragmentarily, gluing additional parts of the figure.

The symbolism of the upcoming 2019 is the yellow pig. In this article, we will look at a few simple step-by-step DIY pig making master classes.

We will show in detail how you can independently make from materials that can be easily found in every home, such do-it-yourself crafts for a year of the pig, like a piggy bank, we blind piglets from dough, we will do simple crafts for kindergarten, we will learn how to sew a pig out of children's tights and socks, make a pig-ball out of thread, make a coffee toy, and also learn how to sew a tilde-pig out of fabric. And at the end of the article, a video bonus will be waiting for you: making a pig from pompons as a gift for the new year. So, if you're ready, let's get started!

Papier-mache: piggy bank

To make a funny papier-mâché piggy bank, we will use toilet paper or newspapers, acrylic putty, acrylic paints, PVA glue, balloon, foil, foil reel.


The first step is to inflate the balloon. Then, in several layers, we apply prepared scraps of newspaper dipped in PVA glue and water on the inflated ball so that our piggy bank is not soft, but strong enough and let it dry.


In a plastic bucket, we will prepare a mass for papier-mâché: you need to tear toilet paper or napkins into small pieces and add PVA glue. Mix everything well! We coat the future pig with the obtained "chewed paper".


When the papier-mâché frame dries well, the ball must be carefully burst and pulled out. Now we need to close the hole through which we pulled the ball: for this we glue it crosswise with masking tape and apply papier-mâché, leaving a small rectangular hole - this will be the slot where the money is thrown.

Divide the foil reel into four equal parts - it will serve as legs for our pig. We glue the legs to the pig with masking tape. Then we apply papier-mâché. The inside of the legs must be filled with something heavy - so our pig will become more resilient. Sand or a small metal object, such as a nut or screws, will do.


We make a patch of foil for the pig, under which you need to form a mouth (upper and lower lip).


Now we need to sculpt eyes and ears for our pig - they can be made either from the remains of papier-mâché or molded from clay.


The flexible wire will serve as a tail for the pig: we twist it, covering the tail with the remnants of papier-mâché. After our pig is completely dry, it must be properly treated several times with acrylic putty and then wiped with a cloth soaked in water - this is how the pig's barrel will be leveled.



Our piggy is ready for painting!


First you need to apply dark paint, you can use several different shades... Then red paint is applied to the craft with a sponge.


Then - pink, and as the final stage - pink and white paints are applied. The last step is to apply white paint to the protruding surfaces. Our piggy bank is ready!

We offer you another version of the piggy bank, step-by-step execution which you can watch in the video:

It is very easy to make such a pig, it turns out to be very cool and is suitable as a talisman that any child will be happy with, or as a craft in the kindergarten. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to make such a souvenir.

DIY simple crafts for kindergarten

As a product that can be easily made, a paper craft, a suit for children's matinee- a mask and ears of a pig, as well as a pig in a pen. Let's consider step by step how easy it is to do such crafts yourself.

Paper craft

To make such a toy paper souvenir, we need: a black pencil and marker, a ruler, colored paper - pink or red, as well as silver, a stapler and glue, plastic eyes prepared in advance, a ribbon for decoration.


The body of our pig should be voluminous; for this we need colored paper - pink or red. We cut out an even rectangle from paper, connect the edges with glue or a stapler so that we get the base-body for our craft - a high and wide tube.



Next, we make the basis for the pig's face: we take paper of two different colors, from one we cut out a larger circle - the head of our pig, and two small triangles-ears, from the second - a smaller oval-patch. Eyes for pigs can be taken prepared in advance - plastic, or you can cut them yourself out of other colored paper.


Now you need to connect all the parts we cut out: bend and glue the ears and the patch to the head in series. On the patch we draw the nostrils, under it - a smiling mouth. Draw cilia on the eyes.


Now you need to cut out the rest of the details from the multi-colored paper - for the belly of the pig, take a silver color, and red for the front legs and tail. We glue the prepared parts: we glue the long legs on the sides of the pig's body, the tail to the back of the craft, and the tummy to the front.


We tie a thin ribbon around the pig's neck and tie an elegant bow. Our pig is ready!


The finished paper craft-pig can be presented as a New Year's present, and it will also look good on a decorated Christmas tree as a toy.

You can also make such a craft out of cardboard:

Suit: mask and pig ears

It is very easy to prepare such a costume for a children's matinee on your own, since it does not require sewing and its production will take only a few minutes.


For a costume consisting of a patch, ears and a pig's tail, we need:

  • felt or fleece pink and white,
  • scissors,
  • glue,
  • stapler,
  • paper cup,
  • pink elastic band,
  • thin elastic band,
  • white thin plastic hair hoop.
First we make a ponytail: Cut off a piece of felt fabric - it should be slightly longer and wider than a piece of wire. We put the wire inside a piece of fabric cut off rectangularly, wrap it up and glue the fabric well.


Then we take an elastic band, fold it like a belt, attach the tail we have prepared in the middle and fasten it with a stapler or glue. We twist the tail like a pig. One piece of the costume is ready!


Now we start making a patch... To do this, take a small-diameter cardboard cup, apply a piece of pink felt to it, circle and cut out the resulting circle - this will be our patch. Cut off the top from the glass so that the height of the glass is one and a half to two centimeters.


Cut off a rectangular strip of the same width from the felt so that you can wrap our glass. Now we glue our cut out parts to the glass: a circle to the bottom, a rectangular strip along the entire glass. It turns out to be a pretty pink patch!

Cut out two small oval details from white felt - nostrils. We glue on the patch exactly in the middle.


We make two small holes on the sides of the cup, into which we insert a thin elastic band. We tie an elastic band on each side to a large knot inside the cup-patch. We try on our nose on our head, it should hold tight enough - so that it does not fall off, but also does not press hard. Our nose for a pig costume is ready!

Getting started making ears... To do this, we need to cut off two large pieces in the shape of pig ears from the pink felt. Then we take our headband, pin our eyelet, pinch it and wrap it around the hoop, secure it well with glue.


Our costume for the holiday is ready!

Pig in the pen



To make such a textile craft, we need:
  • empty plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters,
  • plastic eyes,
  • 4 plastic covers,
  • a piece of light felt or felt material,
  • a small piece of flexible wire,
  • a piece of padding polyester,
  • nylon white stocking,
  • multi-colored paper,
  • a few wooden skewers
  • a roll of twine,
  • shoe cardboard box cover,
  • gouache in red and white,
  • colorless varnish,
  • hot glue,
  • a few pebbles, acorns and twigs.
First, prepare a pen for the pig: turn the box upside down, glue required amount wooden skewers around the perimeter.

We glue the box with inside green paper, weave a fence from twine around the glued skewers. We put acorns and pebbles in the pen, put a plastic jar - a feeder for our pig, arrange twigs-trees. Our paddock is ready!


Now we are making a pig from a plastic bottle: we cut the bottle into several parts - the bottom, the middle and the neck. We connect the neck to the bottom, glue it with hot glue.


Using scissors, carefully cut out the mouth under the bottleneck. We wrap the bottle with a padding polyester, and also make a hole-mouth with the help of scissors.


We tighten the body of our workpiece with a tighter stocking, cut out a hole-mouth and fix it with hot glue.


Our stocking knot on the neck of the bottle must be closed with a snout: for this we cut out a circle from white cardboard, tighten it with nylon, tighten it with a thread - our snout is ready.


On the bottom of the bottle, the knot must also be closed with a wire tail, which we pre-tighten in the area of ​​the bottom with nylon.


Cut out the pig's ears from light felt, glue it to the head.


We prepare the legs: we take plastic corks, tighten them with padding polyester and nylon, tighten them with a thread, fix and glue them to the pig's body with glue.


Preparing the gouache: mix the red and white colors so that it turns out pink. Paint over our pig evenly. Apply a colorless varnish on top. After the craft is dry, glue the eyes and nostrils to the pig. Our piggy corral craft is ready!

We sew a pig from children's tights

Making such a souvenir will not take long; this will require a synthetic winterizer, children's tights or socks and a little imagination. The piggy craft is easy to complete by following the step-by-step instructions below. Ready? Then let's get started!

Socks also make good piglets:

Pig ball made of thread



For the manufacture of such original crafts we need the following materials:
  • pink threads / yarn,
  • colored paper,
  • scissors,
  • an inflatable ball of a round or oval shape,
  • PVA glue,
  • a plastic cup,
  • needle.
First, we need to prepare the base-body of the pig: for this we take a ball, inflate it to the size we need. Now we pierce the plastic cup with a needle: the resulting holes should go near the very bottom of our cup. We will pour PVA glue into it, and we will pull the thread through the holes so that it passes through the glue poured into the glass.


We wrap our inflated ball in a chaotic manner with a thread dipped in glue, so that we get as many weaves as possible. The larger the layer of wound threads, the stronger the craft will be. You can stop glueing the ball when it almost disappears under a layer of thread.

It must be remembered that the glue dries for a long time, about a day, so such a craft must be prepared before the holiday in advance.


After the glue is completely dry, you need to pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it from the craft.

The pig's legs are made in the same way: a sausage ball is inflated, wrapped with threads, then after the glue dries, the ball must be carefully burst and removed from the legs.


Now you need to glue the legs to the body; while the glue dries up, we can start making the pig's face. To do this, on colored paper, we first need to draw all the necessary details - a patch, eyes and ears, then cut them out and glue them on the pig's body.


Then you need to stretch a long thread and secure it with a loop-knot - it will come in handy if we want to hang our craft on the Christmas tree.

Coffee toy

A New Year's souvenir-pig in the form of a coffee toy is just as easy to make, its scheme is quite simple, while it will have an exquisite aroma of coffee, vanilla or cinnamon and will give its new owner only positive emotions. Let's start creating a coffee toy!

The technique for making such a souvenir is quite simple, and for making naf-naf we will need it: light coarse calico, light threads, stuffing material - synthetic winterizer or foam rubber, vanillin or vanilla sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, cinnamon, scissors, PVA glue, a needle, old toothbrush, gel pen, small container for diluting the fragrance, brushes, acrylic paints.


First, you need to prepare and cut out a template - you can attach tracing paper or loose paper to the monitor screen and circle the outline of the toy with the photo.


The toy can also be cut out in any size, for this it is enough to click on the picture, and its size will increase. It is also advisable to transfer the cut out pattern to thin cardboard - it is more practical and convenient.

Now our pen will come in handy - we will outline the resulting pattern with it; you need to do this on a fabric that is folded in half; if you plan to sew more than one toy, then it is necessary to leave on the fabric between the patterns a space for the seam allowance of about 0.5 cm, while the seam itself is better done not along the drawn line itself, but next to it: the trace from the handle will not be noticeable if the fabric gets wet.


It is necessary to simultaneously sew two layers of fabric along the line; the seam begins and ends between the hind limbs of our craft, while about 2 centimeters remains unstitched - this hole is necessary so that it is more convenient to fill the pig. Also, you cannot cut the threads of the seam so that it does not come apart when we turn and stuff our pig.


We also cut triangular teeth at the place of the seam allowances, leaving the distance to the seam itself also about 0.2 cm - this will allow the seam on the toy to remain smooth, not to bulge in different directions.


Now we turn it out and stuff the stitched pig; for particularly tight spaces, the ends of folded scissors are suitable. We fill the toy with padding polyester using unsewn holes: the more padding polyester inside, the more "plump", "pot-bellied" our pig will be. It is necessary to carefully sew up the holes through which we stuffed our pig and thread it - this will help to easily hang our pig to dry.


Now we will prepare a flavoring agent for our craft: dilute 40 ml of boiling water in a prepared container and add a teaspoon of coffee. Then the remaining ingredients - vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa - add about a quarter teaspoon to the resulting mixture.

Stir everything thoroughly and cool. Then it is necessary to add about half a teaspoon of PVA glue to the mixture, mix thoroughly.


Apply the resulting composition with a toothbrush to our pig in such a way that the fabric is dyed and not completely saturated.


Now we need to dry our toy; to do this, we hang it on a wire rack in the oven, turned on on low heat, for a quarter of an hour.
If, after the end of drying, damp spots still remain on the toy, you must turn off the oven and thus dry our workpiece.


Once completely dry, the fabric soaked in the glue coffee solution will become tough and can be easily applied to any fun pattern.

We start coloring - first with a simple pencil to outline the details, and then with the help acrylic paints... After the paints are dry, you can attach a loop or magnet to the coffee toy - then you can hang it on christmas tree or on the refrigerator.


It is advisable to avoid getting moisture on the toy. Our wonderful do-it-yourself coffee pig is ready!



We sew a tilde pig



In order to make such a wonderful souvenir, we need a printout of a pattern, cut out and translated into the selected material. Natural plain light fabric, such as linen, cotton, coarse calico, poplin, is best suited as a material for such a toy. You can take materials from old clothes or a new piece of fabric.

The pattern itself consists of several parts - the little body of the pig, ears and legs.


The fabric must be folded in half, place patterns on top of the pattern and circle; do not forget to leave 0.5 cm for the seams. Now we cut out the resulting parts and sew them as shown in microns.


Be sure to leave holes for filling the craft with stuffing and in order to sew on a pig's tail. Next, we need to sew the resulting parts and turn them out. We fill the craft with filler, for example, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, synthetic fluff; You can also put a sachet in your pig.


It is necessary to sew the legs and ears to the body of the pig with the help of a secret seam. We design the muzzle: you can glue the eyes with plastic ones, sew on beads, embroider with threads or paint with paints, nostrils - draw or embroider with floss threads; you can draw a blush on the pig's cheeks, so it will become more elegant.


In order to make the last part of our pig doll - a playful tail - we need to cut out a rectangular piece of fabric that is suitable in size and sew a piece of flexible wire into it.


We fix the end of the wire inside the tail with glue.


After the glue dries, pull on the second, free end, and it will take the shape of a pig's twisted tail. We sew a tail into the body of our toy.

In this article I will tell you how to make a stuffed toy out of tights that will become best friend for your kids. Step by step photos and detailed description they will help you with this.

When making toys from tights, the master class will begin with the preparation of everything necessary for this, namely:

  • Children's tights;
  • Threads;
  • Scissors;
  • Decor: beads, buttons and so on;
  • Cotton wool for stuffing toys;

So, how to make tights toys. Let's start with the head. To do this, cut off the widest part of the tights. Sew on one side. In the other direction, we stuff with cotton wool and sew.

Now, with the help of pins, threads and needles, we form a pig's face as shown in the figure.

From pieces of tights of a different shade, we form ears and heels in the same way as a face.

Now let's move on to the torso and legs. We cut off the corresponding part of the tights, sew the bottom, fill it tightly with cotton on top and sew it to the end.

We form the handles of the toy in the same way. Now we sew all parts of the pig's body to the body.

It remains only to decorate our funny pig: we sew on eyes (if they are not there, then you can just sew in beads), ribbons and buttons. All the funny pig is ready!

We usually spend a lot of our personal time in the kitchen. So why not make our stay there more enjoyable and comfortable? We found in the vastness of Aliexpress useful things for the kitchen that will definitely be of interest to everyone. And they all cost no more than 200 rubles, so in addition it will not be costly for your budget.

So it's a good time to think over decor ideas and practice making crafts for the New Year 2019 with your own hands, because you should prepare for the holidays in advance. Creating decorations and decor items for your home yourself is not only fun and fun activity but also very practical. You just need to come up with ideas for crafts and prepare required material, tools. And since we are going to decorate the house for the next New Year, it makes sense to make its symbol with our own hands - a pig. Children can and should be involved in work, because such activities have a beneficial effect on the baby's psyche, develop motor skills and spatial thinking.

ECO style crafts

It is not necessary to purchase new materials to complete the craft. A beautiful and unusual pig can be made from textile waste, which is sure to be found in every home. Colored and solid-colored socks that are no longer suitable for wearing can act as such. Here's what you need for one Pig:

  • Two socks - one colored with a pattern, the other one-colored.
  • Small buttons - 2 pieces, preferably one size for the eyes.
  • Medium-sized buttons - 2 pieces, the desired size for the patch.
  • A synthetic winterizer, cotton wool or rags that can be used to stuff a figure.
  • Threads and a needle.
  • Scissors and crayons for marking parts.

Each family member with their own hands can make a pig by 2019 from their own old socks, which were left without a pair. All that is needed is to wash things first. If there are small worn-out places, you can mend it with patches and multi-colored threads, which will give the Piglet individuality and originality. Materials and tools need to be prepared in advance so that everything is at hand.

We start by stuffing one sock with filler. A synthetic winterizer torso is lighter and easier to work with. You need to stuff very tightly so that the figure is stable and keeps its shape. When the padding reaches the heel area, stop padding. The body should take on the shape of an oval. The remaining unfilled sock must be cut off with scissors.

The resulting hole in the body must be pulled together. Choose a thread that matches the color of the fabric. Although if your Pig already has patches, then you can stick to the style - to tighten the hole with colored thread. In order for the seam to turn out beautiful, and the knitting of the product does not begin to unravel, you need to thread the needle from the seamy side of the hole (the needle goes out). Then the second stitch is made on the opposite side of the hole, sticking the needle from the front side, leading to the seamy side from the side of the first puncture, slightly stepping back. They tighten. This is done until the body is completely darned. It can be easier to apply stitches - run with basting stitches along the perimeter of the folded edges of the hole, then pull it off.

Now we put the cut piece of the product on the finished body so that its elastic band frames the not darned edge - this will be the Pig's head. The cut edge of the sock you are wearing may be too long. The excess must be carefully trimmed. The resulting hole must be pulled together like the previous one. At this stage, you should be careful. Loose toe elastic may shift when the hole is pulled together. Therefore, the baby is likely to need help.

It is better to make the tie using the "needle forward" method with bending of the edge of the product along the perimeter of the hole. This will make the edge finished and neat. We take into account: the smaller the stitches, the neater and tighter the seam will be.

Now Piglet needs ears. We will make them from the elastic of the second sock. We carefully cut it off, cut it in half across. Turning the halves inside out (front side to front side), use chalk or pencil to mark the place for stitching. On the material you need to draw the shape of the Piglet's ear. Sew along the line, leaving the bottom of the elastic not sewn. Turn the ears through the remaining hole so that the line remains inside. The details are ready.


If the elastic of the toe is thin, the part may not hold the desired shape. This problem can be solved by placing a thin layer of filler or thick paper inside the ear. All that's left is to sew the details to the torso. Better to use blind seam... First, connect the front of the part with the body, then the back.

Family crafts for the New Year 2019 are almost ready. It remains to sew on the eyelet buttons and buttons for the patch. In order not to be mistaken with the place where the parts are attached to the head, mark the desired areas with a pencil or chalk. Such a Pig can be filled with any filler - cereals or balls, tissue scraps and cereals.

Naf-Naf, Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf at the festive table

From children's tights, you can offer to sew a more realistic Pig yourself. The craft will turn out to be large and voluminous. It can be hung on the Christmas tree and even presented to relatives as a New Year's souvenir. For work you will need:

  • Scissors and pencil.
  • Sewing hairpins.
  • Children's colored tights. You can use socks, but the sock material may not be enough.
  • Needle and thread in the color of the tights.
  • Sintepon and buttons for the eyes.

The main difficulty in sewing this model lies in the softness and elasticity of the knitted tights, which, after cutting, can go like arrows. Therefore, all operations with scissors must be done without pulling or stretching the material. As soon as they were cut off, they were immediately fixed with stitches. The photo shows the stages of work.

  1. Cut off 10-13 cm of the top of the tights - a rectangle.
  2. Make a 5-7 cm cut from the center along the rectangle - the legs.
  3. Dash the bottom of the legs and the area between the legs with a tight stitch.
  4. If the jersey of the tights is thin, process the edge of the rectangle.
  5. Fill the resulting part tightly with padding polyester.
  6. Cut off the sock of the pantyhose.
  7. Pull the thread with a small stitch around the perimeter of the hole without completing the seam. Prick the needle into the pillow without cutting off the thread.
  8. Stuff your head with padding polyester.
  9. Pull off the hole with a thread. Complete the seam.
  10. Mark the places for the eyes. Pull them together with a thread. Skip inside the head. The chin and mouth are sewn in the same way.
  11. Cut out a rectangle for the patch. Select the size according to the size of the Pig's head.
  12. Pull it off, leaving a hole for the packing.
  13. Fill the patch with padding polyester. Pull off the thread to make a rounded rectangular shape.
  14. Sew the patch into place.
  15. Sew the head onto the torso detail. Better to use a blind stitch, starting from the chin area.
  16. Cut out two rectangles for the arms. Sew them on three sides, leaving a hole for the stuffing.
  17. Fill the details of the hands with padding polyester. Sew on to the body.
  18. Put buttons in place of the dimples.
  19. Cut out diamonds for the ears. Form the auricle, sew on the place where the Pig's ears should be.

It remains to come up with a ponytail hook. Wire can be used. Cover it with material or wrap with thread. Then fix it with glue or thread on the body. The final touch is to bend the ponytail with a crochet or spiral.

Simple options for textile patterns of Piglets

Textile crafts on New Year 2019 pigs can be done much easier. For example, stitching two drawn shapes of the Piglet together and stuffing them with cotton wool, cereals, foam rubber. To complete the figure you will need:

  • Scissors.
  • Elastic knitted fabric flap.
  • Needle with thread.
  • Marker.

You can choose textiles of any quality, but stretch knitwear will make the Pig voluminous and soft, even if the figure is small. Making a craft is not difficult. You need to fold a square (15 cm × 15 cm) piece of cloth in half so that the front side touches the front side. Draw the shape of the Pig on one of the seamy sides. Templates can be used , presented in the photo below. If redrawing is difficult, print them on paper, cut them out with scissors and, attaching to back side folded shred, circle with a marker.

The resulting contour will serve as a line for the figure's stitching. But so that it does not break and withstand the packing, it is necessary to retreat from the contour of 3-5 mm. Cut out 2 parts for the figure along the seam allowance line. We sweep them along the line of the line. You can use a typewriter. But if the Pig is small, it is more convenient to sew the parts by hand. When applying stitches, you need to leave an unstitched piece. Through it, the figure is turned onto the face and stuffed with foam rubber. Now all that remains is to fill the figure, design the mouth and the patch, the eyes. Sew on a ponytail and additional decor.

Patterns for sewing volumetric pigs

For the new year, you can sew a large soft toy in the shape of a Pig. You will have to spend a little more time, but the result will be a beautiful and noticeable symbol of the year. Such a toy can be presented to colleagues and friends. Would need:

  • Pattern.
  • Scissors and marker (pencil, chalk).
  • A flap of tissue.
  • Threads in the color of the material.
  • Cotton wool, foam rubber, synthetic winterizer or rags.
  • Buttons and a needle.

If you plan to sew big toy, you may need sewing machine... But if you have free time, all the work on cutting and sewing will be easy to do manually. We will give a few simple patterns... They need to be printed, the details cut out of paper. On paper blanks, translate into matter. When sewing a toy, you need to do all the stitches from the wrong side, so the details are sewn with the front sides. Then the finished part is turned inside out.


Do not forget about the free holes through which the model will be stuffed. They must subsequently be sewn with a blind stitch. It is better to leave those seams unsewn, which will then be covered with other details. For example, a cutout for a leg or an ear.

Pigs made of clay or plasticine

You can create crafts for the New Year 2019 with your own hands not only from fabric and thread. Using plasticine or colored children's clay, you can sculpt a beautiful and bright Pig within a few minutes. We will need:

  • Colored plasticine, clay. Take pinkish and green.
  • Small knife.
  • Baking dishes in the form of hearts.
  • Pure white cardboard (dimensions 20 cm × 20 cm).
  • Cuticle spatula.
  • Small cone.
  • Painting brush.

When buying kits for sculpting from polymer clay shoes, molds and knives are included. But if there is no such set, then the handy tools that can be found in the cosmetic bag and in the kitchen of every woman are quite suitable. But first let's do preparatory work... To make everything work out, we will prepare plasticine blanks.

We need to form:

  • One big ball is the torso.
  • Four small balls are hooves-legs.
  • Roll a thin tube 3-5 cm long - a tail.
  • Form one middle ball - a patch.

Now, armed with imagination, we form the details of the New Year's Pig from the balls. From a large ball we roll an oval in the palms, one of the sides of which we narrow and slightly flatten. Lightly flatten the four small balls with your finger (just press down on the platform on which we are working). On the flattened parts, we cut out the hooves with a knife. We connect them with the body.

Now flatten average size ball and place it in the area of ​​the patch - on the narrow part of the oval. Then we twist the tail and connect it to the back of the body. We form the nostrils of the patch with a conical tool.

The pig needs ears. Form an oval from additional small balls and flatten it. We connect the resulting leaves with the body. The sharp part of the part should "look" up. The eyelet can be bent in any direction. Now it's the turn of the button peephole. To make them, you need to roll up tiny balls and place them in the "eye sockets". The latter can be shaped using a brush. You just need to lightly press the brush into the plasticine. The eyeballs are placed in the thickest part of the eye socket.

The next step is to prepare the platform. Our Pig will sit on green clover petals. It's easy to make them. It is necessary to roll green plasticine into a wide layer. Then, using a baking dish, squeeze out 3-4 forms in it. Connect the resulting hearts in narrow parts on a cardboard. The final touch is to put the Pig on the leaves. The craft is ready.

Salted Pig for New Year 2019

Crafts can also be made from unusual materials, for example, salt dough. These piglet models will be very durable. But the most important thing is that they can be painted with paints. To make a craft from salted dough, you need to prepare:

  • A bowl for kneading dough.
  • Flour, salt and water.
  • Piglet tins for baking.
  • Paints and brush.
  • Thread and glue.

They start by kneading the dough. For two Piglets, you will need 2 (heaped) tablespoons of flour and 4 tablespoons of salt. Mix the bulk ingredients of "flour plasticine" in a bowl or on the table. Warm water is added little by little to the resulting mass. The dough should be tight and pliable. To check if the "flour plasticine" has been replaced correctly, you need to roll a ball of dough and leave it on the table for 10-20 seconds. If the ball has blurred - a lot of water, the ball sticks to your hands - a lot of water, crumbles in your hands - little water or it was too cold.

  • Roll out the dough into a pancake 4-6 mm thick.
  • Take a baking dish and extrude the model with it.
  • The resulting test Pig is placed on a battery or in the sun for 18-24 hours. You can use the oven, but too much high temperature the top of the model will crack. It is better to dry the dough piece in natural conditions.
  • Paint the Pig with paints. If several layers of decor are applied to the model, then each next one is covered only after the previous one has dried.

The procedure can be complicated. Namely, sculpt, as from plasticine (described above), a voluminous figurine of a pig and bake it in the oven. The procedure is quite time consuming. You need to preheat the oven to 180 0 C, turn it off and place a figurine made of salted dough, leaving the door slightly ajar. Repeat the procedure until the model is completely dry. Eyes-buttons, a tail and a patch are glued to the blank.

Using examples, it's easy to create entire compositions. But to make them look beautiful and impressive, it is worth practicing. Good luck!
