    Now, following the instructions, let's begin the task:

Universal choice gift ideas for any occasion and reason. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Do-it-yourself dog: symbol of the New Year 2018 with photos and master classes

To make a dog yourself, you don’t need any special skills or hard-to-find materials. Almost everything is clear from the master classes, and sometimes even from the photos themselves. The main thing is to be patient and do something really practical.

By the way, a dog can be given not only for New Year. After all, this creature is the personification of loyalty and devotion, so by presenting it, you seem to want to strengthen the connection with the person to whom you decided to give such a surprise.

Dog costume

To create a dog costume, it is not necessary to sew a full-fledged outfit for going out. It is enough for him to acquire, for example, a cool mask of this furry creature. It can be printed on a color printer or used as a template for cutting out felt.

If you want to make the image complete, then I advise you to take a closer look at the following simple ideas for the holiday. What and how can you make a cute New Year’s costume for a child and more?

Look at the girl: she's wearing full tutu skirt, which is supplemented openwork top, striped tights and a headband with textile ears. Two cute ponytails will help complete the look. A small nose is drawn on the nose.

It’s easy to make a tutu skirt yourself, for this you will need a large number of translucent fabric, which will need to be folded in several layers and gathered at the top with an elastic band.

For a boy, you can adapt a fluffy suit from pajamas (for example, a Japanese onesie) or sew it like one. For such an outfit, only approximate body parameters (height of the child and waist circumference) are useful, so even a not very experienced seamstress can handle the creation.

Do you want to do it easier? Make a cap with ears, the creation process of which is described below. Take fur, fleece or velor for her. Velsoft is also suitable if you can handle it (it stretches quite strongly).

Other options for hats can be seen in the following pictures. For example, a hat like this could be a good alternative to the previous option. You will need fleece with long pile.

In the future, such a hat can be worn outdoors as the main headdress. In this case, it will be enough to match such a hat with a T-shirt and pants (skirt) in the color of the dog. The image will be almost complete.

Another headdress is sewn using the same patterns, but the muzzle here is completely different, as well as the ears. Fleece here can be taken with much shorter pile.

How about a flirty dog ​​hat? Choose a cartoon character and make a catchy addition to your look.

Progress:

  1. Cut out the base circle from thick cardboard.
  2. Cut a circle of fabric, one and a half to two times the diameter of the base, and tighten it using a “forward needle” seam along the edge. Place a solid base inside.
  3. Using a similar principle, make the top of the cylinder.
  4. Side part: Cut a long strip of thick cardboard and cover it with fabric so that the edges do not stick out. Join at the back using a blind stitch.
  5. Sew or glue top part caps to the side so that the side fits tightly to the top and forms a cylinder. Attach the design to the bottom base and decorate the hat.

You can attach this to your hair using hairpins or a headband.

You can also sew ears on the headband; for this you will need the headband itself and ear patterns. The first option is more complicated; it implies that the inner part will be slightly smaller than the outer part. To create it, it is best to use fur or fleece.

But the ears are simpler.

To look real, take regular gloves in the color you want and some felt. Cut out the details of future paws from felt and attach them with a thin layer of glue or thread. You can make these gloves in literally 10-20 minutes!

Crafts from scrap materials and more

We got the costume, but what about the Earthen Yellow Dog crafts? We will make them the most different ways. Paper cards and souvenirs, even matchboxes - all this will be used and will delight you with its unusual appearance.

Paper fantasies: postcards and origami

Cardboard and paper can be used to make cards and original origami. For example, what do you think of this cartoon dog? You can print it out and trace it around to make your own original postcard. Congratulations can be written on the card itself, or the text part can be attached inside as a separate layer.

The second option with a simpler form looks no less original. And if you try, you can also make such a dog with a surprise: if you pull the tongue, the ears will open.

Try transferring this dog to felt. This way it will last much longer than the paper version and can be used even after the New Year.

The next dog can be used as a bookmark, which will certainly come in handy around the house. Make it from a regular square of paper.

FROM such paper dogs you can create a New Year's Christmas garland, which will remind you of the symbol of the year.

Here's how you can fold napkins onto festive table. This form is quite stable, but at the same time it does not take much time to assemble. Fans of Scottish Terriers will especially appreciate it.

The last one in this series is a very cute and inventive dog: it is made from matchbox, and a heartfelt message is left inside. A series of such boxes will make all your family and friends happier. If you coat the box with a special varnish for paper, then even snow and rain will not be a problem for such a gift (although you still shouldn’t wash it).

Wooden doggies

Warm material that is just right would be better suited to celebrate the upcoming New Year. Make a key holder or some sort of hanger for dog things out of plywood. Woodworking skills, templates for carving a dog and acrylic paints with specialized wood varnish.

As children, many of us made toys from plywood. This hobby can be turned into something more by making a full-fledged home sculpture.

And here it is completely children's way prepare for the holiday: a dog with movable legs, which can be made from cardboard or plywood.

New Year's toys

In fact, you can hang almost anything on a Christmas tree. For example, I decorate a green tree with small soft toys – purchased and made by myself. Try sewing the dogs you see below. You can literally take them from a photo and get ready-made patterns.

A great way to surprise your friends and family is to paint your own Christmas tree balls. To do this, buy plain round balls and acrylic paints.

We use polymer clay and plasticine

Many children really like to create figures from plasticine, dough or polymer clay(by the way, using the presented MKs you can do both). But this develops fine motor skills and in many ways has a very positive effect on the child’s psyche. Therefore, when preparing for the New Year, let’s take this important factor into account and create several cute dogs.

The production of such figurines is generally the same, but has some differences. If you're good at sculpting techniques, you can jump right into something like the dog below.

If you still consider yourself a beginner, then start with simpler forms, which can be repeated right after the photo, as in the picture below. It turned out to be a very cute pitbull)

The pug is also not inferior to its brother. Thanks to its in its simplest form Even very young children will be able to do it.

With the next three step-by-step master classes you will create several dogs absolutely different breeds. All of them can be done with children.

The souvenir can be either close to real-life dogs or have the appearance of a cartoon character (in the second case, this may turn out to be even more interesting).

How to sew a dog from fabric: patterns like this

Sewn dogs will be popular not only on the eve of New Year's holidays, but also in the future.

Stuffed Toys

A fabric dog can be sewn in a variety of ways. How do you like the doggie below? He rather resembles a hyena, but due to his similarity with the desired character, he looks very attractive.

You'll definitely love the avant-garde patterned characters you can see below. They have very large heads and small bodies, making these dogs look childishly clumsy and naive. The effect is achieved using a very wide insert in the head and rather modest side parts.

The classic dog in the next version is made from faux fur and stands on 4 legs, unlike most of the previously mentioned dogs. For the New Year, she can sew a Christmas red cap and scarf.

Our selection even includes designer dolls and toys with designer patterns. Just look at this adorable basset hound! The author (Alice Shangina) even came up with a description for it: “The world is beautiful, like a basset.” The dog's nose is felted from dry wool, but it can also be cut out separately by highlighting the corresponding part on the muzzle pattern.

If you dote on the Dalmatians, then the next idea New Year's surprise you will definitely like it. Patterns are enough high level, but the result is simply gorgeous. Stock up on white fleece, white and black thread and beads for the eyes. Don't forget the black marker.

Sew a dog like this better with your hands, because you just have to be a virtuoso sewing machine, in order to thoroughly grind the parts of such a dog.

A tilde dog can be made using the following patterns. For it, take a thin cotton fabric. To the character the dress will suit, trousers - whatever you want.

A square-headed dog can be made even without ready-made patterns(create them yourself) if you look closely at its structure.

If you have several pieces of leather in stock, then create a small dog from them.

Let's use socks

The good thing about socks is that there is a huge selection of colors, even in small shops(unlike the same fabrics). So feel free to go to the store for a new pair of socks and create adorable babies.

Both options New Year's dogs sewn according to the same principle, but the result comes out completely different. The first dog is very bright and cheerful, while the second one is restrained and laconic; it can be given to even a serious man.

What can be done from nylon tights! A couple of pugs for inspiration from Lyudmila Tkachenko. They are made by tightening and further painting.

We create from felt

Pugs are incredibly charming representatives of the canine kingdom. To make such a dog, you will need several colors of thick felt and thread to match the color of the fabric. Then this symbol of the year can be turned not only into a keychain, but also into a brooch, magnet, or simply left as a soft souvenir. Please note: the clothes are sewn on top of the finished body.

The Scotch Terrier breed inspires designers and creators to create the most various crafts with him. Below it is proposed to make a puppy and an adult version of this wonderful dog.

Continuing the series of flat felt toys, it is impossible to pass by this dog. It is sewn a little more complicated than the previous options.

Well, how can you get past this charming boule? Try to do it too.

A refrigerator magnet with a Chihuahua can also be made from felt. You don't need threads here - just stock up on transparent glue and scissors.

Pillows with dogs

Decorative pillows can do more than just sit on sofas. This dachshund, for example, props up the door and protects against drafts. You can sew it according to the indicated patterns, increasing the animal to required sizes and stretching it in the center. The body can also be composed of many pieces.

Two dachshund girlfriends are well suited for daytime relaxation, and at the same time as cuddle toys for a child.

Do you want more ideas? There will be more than enough of them in the next selection! They are easy and quick to sew, but each one can be given as a gift for the New Year and beyond. Use them in the car or at home.

Other gifts with the symbol of the year

If you want to surprise your loved ones not only with original toys and keychains, then you can make a set of potholders for them. Design them as your imagination dictates.

When creating a souvenir, you can also take into account the favorite breed to which the recipient gravitates.

Wool dogs

They can be felted from dry wool, and fastenings for a brooch or magnet can be glued or sewn on the back.

Threads and pompoms

Thread pompoms make very realistic dogs. To create pompoms, you will need special devices or two circles of very thick cardboard on which threads will be wound. After winding several layers, cut the threads along the outer edge and thread another thread through the rings, tightening properly to form a knot.

The most important thing is to learn how to make high-quality pom-poms. And from them, with the help of various variations of sizes and additional elements you can get a variety of figures.

Experiments with coffee beans

Funny dogs can also be made from scattered coffee beans. To do this, you only need to outline the contours of the dog and cover the entire surface inside with glue. This way you can keep your child busy and make a beautiful holiday panel.


Bottle dogs

Schools and kindergartens often require crafts made from recycled materials. Bottles will come in handy here. In addition to the base of plastic bottles You can make fur and other decorative elements. You can put multi-colored glass balls or something similar inside the bottle to make it look more festive.

Rolling up a towel

A universal gift that is in no way inferior to the store-bought version. Thin mohair towels are suitable for this, but thicker ones with wider edges can be used. A towel alone is not enough: for a believable image, ears made from pieces of felt, a nose, eyes and a ribbon will come in handy.


And a few more ways to festively roll up a towel. Not only in the form of a dog, but also in the form of other representatives of the fauna around us.

I saved the juiciest for last) Just look at this amazing lamp in the shape of a dog, which you can create yourself. This masterpiece will be a worthy gift for your loved ones.

Knitted and crocheted dogs: video mk

Since knitting is not such a quick and simple thing, I decided to make a selection of video master classes on this topic.

First of all, I suggest you knit baby booties (this is done with knitting needles). If you or your family have Small child, then this will be a great gift.

But the next three dogs are crocheted using the favorite crochet hook. The result is completely different and dissimilar dogs, each of which claims to be a designer toy (which costs a lot of money in stores). Thanks to detailed instructions, you will learn how to make exactly the same dogs.

The first one is made of fluffy yarn, which makes dogs very soft. The rest are made from regular threads, but also have their own charm.

The next two dogs are knitted according to the amigurumi principle, a very popular type of knitting now. Thanks to it you can create very cute creatures.

Finally, I suggest you make a square dog like this. Here presented detailed description the creation process along with patterns at the end of the document.

That's all for today. Happy New Year to you, friends! Create creative dogs with your own hands and come visit more often. I will be glad to see you here and in other articles on my blog. See you soon!

Most people, already in the first weeks of December, begin to think about where and how to celebrate the holiday, purchase food and drinks, and also consider gifts for relatives, friends and acquaintances, gradually immersing themselves in the festive atmosphere.

Of course, it is impossible to create the spirit of the New Year without, because it is tinsel on the eaves and windows that can give our home a fabulous and elegant look. It is important to remember that each new calendar period is under the auspices of a specific totem animal, which gives this year special features.

You need to choose fabric for crafts wisely. Listen to our advice!

Try to win the patron's sympathy by placing several figurines around the house. In 2018, the world will be ruled, so you can make for home decor and themed figurines as gifts for colleagues and relatives. Such a handmade product will definitely be appreciated, because hand-made gifts are distinguished by sincerity and warmth. We offer you several interesting master classes on making fabric dogs.

Features of sewing fabric toys

Of course, you can use any scraps and scraps you find in your bins. But not every fabric is suitable for making toys, especially if they become not just decoration, but will be actively used. In addition, sewing requires some skills in cutting parts, so we advise you to pay attention to the following recommendations:

  • The best fabric options for complex toys include knitwear and fleece. Knitted fabrics are distinguished by their density and ability to stretch. However, even skilled craftsmen note its capriciousness in work - any pattern should be adapted specifically to this fabric. For beginning toy makers more suitable fleece - it is cheap, easy to cut, suitable for making any toys with large and small details. Simple toys, consisting of several large parts, can be sewn from linen, cotton and other natural materials;
  • When creating a pattern, you need to take into account the ability of the fabric to stretch. If the material does not stretch well, like fleece, it is better to cut it along the grain thread - the result will be work without obvious deformations, completely matching the pattern. If desired, you can make the toy plumper by adding a centimeter to the pattern. Elastic knitted fabrics after stuffing with filler, they stretch a couple of centimeters, so if it is important for you to maintain the proportion of the toy, you can slightly reduce the patterns;
  • To glue parts, you can use PVA glue, “Moment” or textile glue, but remember that the glue quickly passes through thin fabric and may leave unsightly stains. Perfect option– use a heat gun, with which you can quickly and easily glue any part;
  • bulky fabric toys require filling. You should not use cotton wool, trimming shreds or batting - they are distributed unevenly, and with active use, a product with such a filler quickly loses its original shape. Buy a supply of synthetic down, holofiber, padding polyester or thin foam rubber, which are much better suited for this purpose;
  • You can cut out toys using sharp straight scissors, and for small elements use small manicure scissors;
  • To transfer patterns to fabric, use a self-disappearing marker, chalk or gel pen. However, the latter option should only be used on wrong side to finished toy there were no traces left.

Now that you are aware of all the tricks of working with fabrics, you can begin the promised master classes.

Patterns for sewing a dog from fabric

In order to sew soft toy their with my own hands we will need two types of cotton fabric, cotton wool for stuffing, threads to match the color of the fabric, a needle, black threads to make the nose and claws, ribbon for decoration, special eyes for toys, which can be purchased at sewing supply stores, or instead just black beads and glue.

Manufacturing process:
1. Cut out a pattern from paper, cardboard or old newspapers. Next, cut out the necessary parts from the fabric. The number of parts is indicated in the diagram. We cut out the body, paws, head and tail from one fabric, and the ears from another. To save money you can use old clothes, which is usually used on rags. I used the old one white T-shirt and old shorts.




2. It is necessary to sew together the parts of the head from the inside out, using a needle and thread suitable color. You can sew with an overlock stitch or a regular connecting stitch. Turn it inside out and stuff it with cotton wool.

3. Sew together the details of the ears. Turn it inside out and stuff it with cotton wool.


4. We also sew together the parts of the paws and tail and also stuff them well with cotton wool. You can sew feet to the paws, but this is not necessary, since this toy is not meant to stand.





5. We sew together the parts of the dog’s body, stuff it with cotton wool and sew the head to it.


6. Sew the paws and tail to the body.



7. Sew the ears to the head. Take a needle and black thread and embroider a nose and mouth on the dog’s head. We embroider claws on the paws.

8. Take the eyes bought at a sewing accessories store and glue them onto the head. If there are no such eyes, then you can sew on black beads. Tie a ribbon around the neck for decoration. The dog is ready.

If you wish, you can come up with and sew some kind of suit or dress for this toy. You can make necklaces from any beads. You just need a little imagination.
