As you can see, even ordinary plastic bottles can be an excellent material for creativity. Especially on the nose of the New Year, which means that you need to create something new and get rid of the old. And these ideas will just help you get rid of the old, while creating an original and beautiful holiday decor.

The symbolism of the upcoming 2019 is the yellow pig. In this article, we will look at a few simple step-by-step master classes for making a piglet with your own hands.

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

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

First of all, you need to inflate the balloon. Then we apply prepared pieces of newspaper soaked in PVA glue and water in several layers 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. We mix everything properly! We coat the future pig with the resulting “chewed paper”.

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

We divide the foil reel into four equal parts - it will serve as the legs for our pig. 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 stable. Sand or some medium-sized metal object, such as a nut or screws, will do.

From the foil we make a patch for the pig, under it you need to form a mouth (upper and lower lip).

Now it is necessary to fashion eyes and ears for our pig - they can be made both from the remnants of papier-mâché, and fashioned 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 moistened with water - this is how the barrel of the pig 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, the step-by-step implementation of which you can see in the video:

Salt dough piglets

As a wonderful souvenir gift at home, you can also make a piglet pendant from materials that can be found in every home - flour and salt. It is very easy to make such a piglet, it turns out to be very cool and suitable as a talisman that any child will be happy with, or as a craft in a kindergarten. Below is a step-by-step instruction on how to make such a souvenir.

Simple DIY crafts for kindergarten

As a product that can be easily made, there is a paper craft, a suit for a children's party - a mask and ears of a pig, as well as a pig in a pen. 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 a 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 tall and wide tube.

Next, we make the basis for the muzzle of the pig: we take paper of two different colors, from one we cut out a larger circle - the head of our piglet, 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 independently cut out from other colored paper.

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

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

Suit: pig mask and ears

It is very easy to prepare such a costume for a children's party 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 tail of a pig, we need:

felt or fleece in pink and white
scissors,
glue,
stapler,
paper cup,
pink elastic band
thin rubber band
white thin plastic hairband.

First we make a ponytail: cut off a piece of felt fabric - it should turn out a little longer and wider than a piece of wire. We put the wire inside a piece of fabric cut off rectangularly, wrap it and glue the fabric well.

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

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

We cut off a rectangular strip of the same width from the felt so that we can wrap our cup. Now we glue our cut out parts to the cup: a circle - to the bottom, a rectangular strip - along the entire cup. It turns out a cute pink patch!

We cut out two small oval parts from white felt - nostrils. 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 inside the cup-piglet on each side into a large knot. We try on our nose on the head, it should hold on tight enough - so that it does not fall off, but also does not press hard. Our nose for the pig costume is ready!

Let's start making ears. To do this, we need to cut off two large parts in the shape of pig ears from pink felt. Then we take our hairband, pick up our ear, pinch it and wrap it around the hoop, fix it well with glue.

Our costume for the holiday is ready!

Pig in a pen

For the manufacture of such textile crafts, we need:

empty 0.5 liter plastic bottle,
plastic eyes,
4 plastic lids
a piece of light felt or felt material,
a small piece of flexible wire
a piece of sintepon,
kapron white stocking,
colorful paper,
a few wooden skewers
skein of twine,
shoe box lid
red and white gouache
colorless varnish,
hot glue,
a few pebbles, acorns and twigs.

First, prepare a corral for the pig: turn the box upside down, glue the required number of wooden skewers around the entire perimeter.

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

Now we are making a pig out of 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.

With scissors, carefully cut out the mouth under the bottle neck. We tighten the bottle with a padding polyester, and also make a hole-mouth with the help of scissors.

We fit the body of our blank 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 patch: for this, we cut out a circle from white cardboard, cover it with nylon, tighten it with a thread - our patch is ready.

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

From light felt we cut out the ears of the pig, glue it to the head.

We prepare the legs: we take plastic plugs, we cover them with synthetic winterizer and nylon, tighten them with a thread, fix them and glue them to the body of the pig with glue.

We prepare gouache: we mix red and white colors so that we get pink. Evenly paint over our pig. We apply a colorless varnish on top. After the craft dries, glue the pig's eyes and nostrils. Our craft piggy in the paddock is ready!

We sew a pig from children's tights

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

Socks also make good piglets:

Pig-ball of threads

To make such an original craft, we need the following materials:

pink thread/yarn,
colored paper,
scissors,
inflatable ball of round or oval shape,
PVA glue,
a plastic cup,
needle.

First we need to prepare the base-body of the pig: for this we will take a ball, inflate it to the size we need. Now we pierce the plastic cup through with a needle: the resulting holes should pass 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 cup.

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

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

After the glue has completely dried, it is necessary to pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it from the craft.

The legs of a piglet 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, we can start making the muzzle of a piglet. 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 body of the pig.

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: light calico, light threads, stuffing material - synthetic winterizer or foam rubber, vanillin or vanilla sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, cinnamon, scissors, PVA glue, needle, old toothbrush, gel pen, a small container for diluting the flavor, 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 trace the outline of the toy with a photo.

You can also cut out a toy of any size, just click on the picture and its size will increase. It is also desirable to transfer the cut pattern to thin cardboard - it is more practical and convenient.

Now our pen will come in handy - we will circle the resulting pattern with it; you need to do this on a fabric that is folded in half; if it is planned to sew more than one toy, then it is necessary to leave a place on the fabric between the patterns for a seam allowance of about 0.5 cm, while the seam itself is best done not along the drawn line itself, but nearby: 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 remain unsewn - this hole is necessary in order to make it more convenient to stuff the pig. Also, you can not cut the threads of the seam so that it does not come apart when we turn and stuff our pig.

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

Now we twist and stuff the stitched pig; for especially narrow places, the ends of the folded scissors are suitable. We fill the toy with padding polyester using unsewn holes: the more padding polyester is inside, the more “plump”, “pot-bellied” our piglet 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 let's prepare the flavoring for our craft: dilute 40 ml of boiling water in the prepared container and add a teaspoon of coffee. Then the remaining ingredients - vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa - add about a quarter of a teaspoon to the resulting mixture.

All thoroughly stir and cool. Then add about half a teaspoon of PVA glue to the mixture, mix thoroughly.

Apply the resulting composition with a toothbrush on 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 the grate in the oven, turned on to low heat, for a quarter of an hour.
If, after drying, wet spots still remain on the toy, it is necessary to turn off the oven and dry our workpiece in this way.

After complete drying, the fabric soaked in the coffee glue solution will become stiff, and any funny pattern can be easily applied to it.

We start coloring - first with a simple pencil to outline the details, and then with acrylic paints. After the paints have dried, you can attach a loop or magnet to the coffee toy - then it can be hung on the 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 the pattern, cut out and transferred to the selected material. As a material for such a toy, a natural plain light fabric, such as linen, cotton, calico, poplin, is best suited. You can take materials that are left over from old clothes or a new piece of fabric.

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

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

Be sure to leave holes for filling crafts with stuffing and in order to sew on a pig tail. Next, we need to sew the received parts and turn them out. We fill the craft with filler, for example, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, synthetic winterizer; you can also put a flavoring sachet into the pig.

It is necessary with the help of a hidden seam to sew legs and ears to the body of the pig. We make out the muzzle: you can glue plastic eyes, sew on beads, embroider with thread or paint with paints, draw or embroider nostrils 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 detail of our pig doll - a perky tail - we need to cut a rectangular piece of fabric that fits in size and sew a piece of flexible wire into it.

Bonus Video: Pompom Pig

This video presents a master class that shows step by step the process of making a pig from homemade pompoms.

All the step-by-step instructions for making homemade pig souvenir toys - a symbol of the coming 2019 - presented in the article, are very simple, and their repetition requires simple materials that can be found in every home. A little patience, skill and care - and you can make any of these toys yourself.

Plastic bottles terrify all environmentalists on our planet. The problem is that repeated use of this (seemingly) convenient device harms the body. How to be? The answer is simple - creativity. New Year's toys from old bottles will create incredible comfort. Making them will be as easy and pleasant as possible, and we will show and tell you how to make them with your own hands. Let's start with the video.

The easiest craft

For this craft you will need:

the bottom of the bottle;
paint / felt-tip pens / markers;
needle, thread, fishing line;
paper;
ribbon.

It is necessary to cut off the bottom of the bottle (you can take any volume). And then conjure over it: paint or leave the original color, decorate with snowflakes, make a hole and thread a fishing line on which the toy will hang on the Christmas tree. You can make a single design using the same fishing line. All this can be seen in the photo below. We have selected several master classes.

Balloons from a bottle

In this case, we just need to cut our bottle into strips. These strips should be the same length and width. They must be glued from one end, and then from the other in such a way that a future Christmas tree ball is obtained. This ball can be decorated in any way you like: - Metal Ox, so you can build on this, and also refer to traditional New Year's symbols (sequins, ribbons, red / green / gold colors, rain, cones, etc.).

Bottle bells

Bells in the form of a New Year's toy will decorate the Christmas tree with their presence. How to make them - you need the top of the bottle, because it is similar in shape. You will need paper, foil, paints, tinsel, fishing line, ribbons, glue. Part of the bottle must be wrapped with foil, fixed with glue (preferably instant fixation) and decorated with snowflakes, tinsel, etc.

One two Three! Shine Christmas tree!

For this Christmas tree toy, you will need several bottles. Again, we take several upper parts, cut them into small strips, put them on top of each other. The lower part can serve as a base. They can be fixed with glue, but this is an optional item. Decorate with balls, beads or tinsel.

A few more ideas...

Bottle toys are only your imagination, which can be realized literally with your own hands. Any colors can be used. The shape is up to preference. It is not necessary to take small bottles, for example, you can make Santa Claus from a five-liter bottle (you can make a beard from plastic spoons). Covers can also become a Christmas tree toy. We've picked up a few ideas.

The symbol of the new, 2018, will be the Dog. This animal has long been synonymous with loyalty, devotion and courage. We hope that the coming period will bring reliable friends, stability in the family and even, deep relationships with loved ones to everyone. They say that in order for all these wishes to come true, there should be a toy dog on the New Year's table. DIY Dog craft is done from five to thirty minutes. It all depends on the materials at hand used in the manufacture of the souvenir. For example, it will take 1-2 minutes to make a toy of their sausage ball, and you will spend more than half an hour to make crafts from threads, plastic bottles, paper, cotton pads and even nylon tights. Such a cute dog can be presented to a kindergarten teacher or a teacher at school.

Christmas tree

An unusual Christmas tree can be made from simple plastic bottles. It is important to collect the necessary materials for this craft and follow the master class step by step.

This will require:

Plastic bottles;
Scotch;
Sandpaper (cardboard);
Scissors.

Progress:

The bottom and neck of the bottle should be removed, and then a straight pipe will turn out. Then you should prepare blanks from twigs. They must be of different sizes so that the Christmas tree turns out to be cone-shaped.
Then plastic bottles need to be cut lengthwise into 3 parts so that subsequent tiers are less than the previous ones. On each blank, you need to make needles, and for this they are cut into thin strips, but not completely. In order for the Christmas tree to stand steadily, it is advisable to use the bottom of one of the bottles as a stand.
A sheet of cardboard must be rolled up into a tube and installed in the neck of the bottle. You can secure it with tape. Now each tier of branches needs to be fixed on the tree. You can put a toy on top or come up with something else. To make the Christmas tree fluffy, the needles should be cut thinner. Usually blue or transparent bottles are used for this. That's all, our craft is ready!

You need to choose beautiful threads or rain so that the toy can be used for the Christmas tree.
To decorate the resulting blanks, it is better to use foil, beads, beads, etc. A small ball can be placed inside such a ball. In this craft, you can fantasize as much as you like. For children, this will be a very interesting activity.

After the bottoms are ready, we take up the painting of our future snowflakes. Depending on the desired pattern, we select the thickness of the brush, and then proceed to the artistry. As drawings, you can use various ornaments that come to your mind. This also applies to the choice of color of paints with which you will decorate your New Year's product.

Plastic bottles (one toy takes two bottles);
Scissors;
Acrylic paints - white, black, red and others;
brushes;
Small colored shreds for a scarf;
Buboes or bows for hats;
Glue.

Progress:

We take a bottle and cut off the upper part almost completely or in half to get the body of a penguin. The head is already made from another bottle and also from the bottom, but the workpiece should be slightly smaller.
We connect both blanks, inserting the upper part, which is smaller, into the lower, which is larger.
After you have built the body of the penguin, proceed to its coloring. Take acrylic paints and apply gently on a plastic product, imitating the color of a penguin, as shown in the photo. Use more bright colors, because the brighter your New Year's penguin turns out, the warmer and more fun the smiles of your family will be.
When your penguin looks realistic, you can tie a small scarf around his neck, and attach a bubo or bow to the cap with glue.
