Not only warm good-quality things can be knitted from yarn, but also flowers, animals, dolls and much more can be made from it. We offer you to do an interesting type of handicraft, which, perhaps, will become your favorite hobby.
How to make a chicken?
Let's start with poultry. In the year of the Rooster, such a craft will be very relevant. You can make an adult bird or chicken. To create it you need to take:
- yellow and white yarn;
- yellow thread;
- scissors;
- beads for eyes;
- seeds from apples for spouts;
- foam rubber;
- red thread for the feet;
- glue;
- cardboard for templates;
- scissors.
Cut 3 templates out of cardboard in the form of squares with sides of 8, 7 and 6 cm. Wind threads on each of them, cut them on one side. You have 3 beams. We design them in different ways. Wrap yellow yarn in the center of the longest (breast), leave the second largest (back) the same. The third will soon become wings, tie it with a thin yellow thread in the middle. Cut a piece of foam rubber, wind yellow yarn around it. This is the head preparation.
Connect the parts of the chest and back as shown in the photo, intertwining them.
Tie the resulting knot on one side and on the other with a thin yellow thread. Soon, this round center piece will become the head.
Here's how to make the chicken next. With your own hands, unfold the back and chest so that the bird's head is at the bottom, we put wings on top, and on them a ball of foam rubber that you wrapped around the beaches.
We do not touch the wings yet, but raise the bunches of the back and breasts to close the foam blank with them. Tie the back with yellow yarn to mark the ponytail.
The small chicken continues to form. Separate about half from the wings while working on the first part. Press these wings on the sides without pulling them tightly, rewind also in the area of the tail. Now take the remaining strands of threads, place them on top of the created wings, also rewind with thread at the tail.
If in the process of work it is not possible to immediately capture the required amount of yarn, at this stage of work, thread them with a crochet under the thread, which marked the tail.
Use scissors to trim it to create a nice, slightly rounded shape.
Sew the beady eyes into place, glue the seed nose.
The little chicken looks great anyway, doesn't it, but if you want, give it legs. You can take pieces of wire, form legs from them, make three fingers on each of the same material, then wrap with wire.
If small children play with the chicken, then sharp objects are not needed. In this case, cut off the red threads by gluing them, form the same blanks with three fingers, after which you can glue them to the chickens.
See what else can be a New Year's chicken made of threads or made for Easter.
To create this adorable little fluffy bird, you need to take:
- yellow knitting threads;
- scissors;
- a piece of cardboard;
- colored paper;
- eggshells;
- glue.
We need to make two pom-poms - one small, the second larger. To do this, first wind the threads around 4 fingers of your hand, keeping them horizontally. When the layer is sufficient, tie it in the middle, cut the threads on the 1st and 2nd sides, you have a large pompom.
Do the second in the same way, but wind it around 3 fingers. Also tie with a thread, connect the threads 1 and 2 of the pompoms, tying them together.
Cut out two eyes from colored paper, the beak of a New Year's chicken. Glue them onto his face.
Wash the eggshells, dry them. Place one half on his head, and attach the other one side by side on the flooring. Cut out grass from green paper, glue it, thereby completing an interesting work.
If you want the chicken toy to be delicate and airy, then watch the corresponding master class.
For this tutorial take:
- styrofoam egg preparation;
- yellow threads;
- cling film;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- colored paper;
- pins.
Wrap the egg blank in foil, mark the places where you will not wind the thread with pins. On all other sides, smear this base with PVA, wind threads on it, winding them in different directions.
Let the product dry completely, cut the threads on one side of the egg, remove the foam blank from this hole.
Now you need to sew up the cut point with the same yellow thread, you can additionally fix it with glue. Make a beak out of red paper. You will need a small square that you need to fold diagonally in half, then bend its corner and sides, as shown in the photographs.
Make bangs for fluffs from threads, from red paper - a bow for a girl, legs for both chickens.
A top hat can be made for a chicken boy. To do this, cut a ring out of black paper, glue a strip on it, gluing it on the side. The bottom of the hat is attached to the top.
You will get such wonderful and cute chickens.
Other birds and animals made of thread
Creative work is very relevant in winter, which will tell you how to make a bullfinch from threads. For it you will need:
- threads of red, black, gray;
- scissors;
- apple seed for the beak.
- Using template cardboard or hands, wind the same lengths of black thread, the same amount you need red.
- Put black ones on them, tie in the middle with a dark thread. Remove the black threads from one half to the other, fix them here, in the area of the future tail, with a piece of gray yarn.
- Then you will need to wind the thread of this color, place them under the central part of the bird.
- We fix this part by twisting it on one side with red threads. Bring these gray wings back, tie them with a thread around the tail, trim them with scissors.
- Glue a bone on the nose, this is what a wonderful bullfinch from threads you have turned out.
In the same technique, you will make another winter bird - a titmouse.
The basis for it is created from pieces of white and yellow thread. The blue ones are placed crosswise under the center of these two blanks. Then the white and blue ones need to be lifted, twisted. The blue and black yarn will become the wings of the bird.
In this technique, it is easy to make a sparrow, other birds.
Here's how to make a rabbit from the same material.
The list of required items consists of:
- threads of gray and white;
- dense brown and pink fabric;
- cardboard or special blanks for pompons;
- fishing line;
- beads;
- scissors;
- needles.
Manufacturing instruction:
- Wrap the gray yarn on special blanks for pompons, if there are none, cut them out of cardboard, give the shape of a half-ring. For one pompom, you need 2 pieces.
- First, a thread is laid between them, then the yarn is tightly wound in several turns. When this is done, the threads on the larger side of the semicircular workpiece are cut, you need to remove them from the device, tighten the main thread.
- Thus, two pom-poms of different sizes are formed. Tie them to each other with the threads on these parts.
- Cut out the semi-oval ears and the inside of the pink material. Glue these two types of elements together. Form a fold at the bottom, also fix it, and then the ears themselves on the head with glue.
- The hare's tail can be made from a small white pom-pom or filled with padding polyester a light circle made of fabric, assembled around the edges on a thread. The ponytail is sewn on or glued on.
- Thread several turns of fishing line into the pink bead, which will become the animal's whiskers. Sew his shaped nose, eyes into place.
A hedgehog made of threads will not turn out to be prickly, even soft.
To create a hedgehog, you will need a special pom-pom tool, but if you don't have one, you can use a regular cardboard blank in the form of a ring.
3/4 brown wool and 1/4 gray wool are wound on any of these tools. When the pom-pom is formed, use scissors to reshape the hedgehog's face and nose. Sew on the eyes and nose. You can create a whole family of these funny hedgehogs.
Also, it is not difficult to make a lion from threads. To do this, take:
- two identical cardboard semicircles;
- threads of black, yellow, orange, pink, white;
- scissors;
- two pencils.
- As shown in the photographs, first wind a pink thread on two blanks in the center, and a little black thread on the side of it.
- Now you need to close the black with white yarn. A thick layer of yellow is wound over it, and a little black in the middle.
- Place two pencils crosswise on the workpiece. First wind an orange thread around them, and on top of it 3 rows of pink.
- Cut through one side of the yarn and tighten this layered "pie" with the main thread. Use scissors to shape the lion's head as desired.
Easy DIY crafts for the New Year
As you may have guessed, they will also be based on threads. Let's start tinkering with Santa Claus.
First, prepare everything you need, these are:
- foam cone;
- PVA glue;
- cotton pads;
- red threads;
- tailor's pins;
- scissors;
- 2 shiny chenille wires;
- cling film.
If you don't have a Styrofoam cone, roll it out of a triangular piece of cardboard. No matter what material this part is, before starting work, it must be wrapped with cling film so that the PVA does not stick to the base.
Now wind a thread around the workpiece, wetting it with glue. You can run it through the bottle that contains the glue.
At the end of this work process, leave the workpiece to dry completely near a radiator or other heating device. Then it needs to be decorated with cotton pads.
Also make the sleeves with a cone, but smaller. To make the threads dry faster, make two cones, form both sleeves at once.
Their edges also need to be decorated with cotton pads, then glue these details of clothing to the fur coat. Cut 4 blanks for mittens from felt, also attach them in place using PVA.
Cut the cotton pads into two parts, decorate the collar of the fur coat with them.
Create the staff of Santa Claus from 2 twisted chenille wires, glue it to the hand of our hero.
To make his hat, wrap the foam egg with cling film, set the safety pins. Wrap the round part of the egg with threads, also securing them with glue. Make a face out of foamiran, glue the eyes for toys here. Attach the hat, trim it with cotton pads, and the mustache, eyebrows, beard are made of light wool for felting. This is what a wonderful result your labors will lead to.
For another craft for the New Year, step by step that you create, you will need:
- threads;
- PVA glue;
- ribbon;
- cling film;
- plastic cup;
- scissors;
- narrow and wider braid;
- cardboard;
- hot glue from a gun;
- a piece of wallpaper.
Make two cones from a paper base, wrap them with cling film. To prevent the cardboard shape from deforming, fill it from below with scraps of wallpaper.
In a plastic cup, make 2 holes, one opposite the other, thread the thread through them. Pour glue into this container.
In such a device, the desired section of the thread will become smeared with glue, so it will be convenient to decorate the cone with this material. Cover it with thread, then move on to the second bell.
Also dry these elements near the battery, then you can start decorating them. Apply hot melt glue to the wider, shiny tape, and attach it along the edge of the bell. Use a thinner ribbon to decorate the bell further.
If you have New Year's beads, cut from this strip to the desired length, twisting, glue them in the form of a snowflake on a bell.
Bows can be made by yourself from shiny fabric or purchased from the store ready-made.
Pass the strips of braid into the upper hole of both bells, tie from the inside to a knot.
Further, for this craft for the New Year, which we illuminate in stages, you need to make a beautiful bow. To do this, you need to glue a thin tinsel to a wide ribbon, tie it on a bow, using a braid.
It remains to tie a bow to both bells and decorate the Christmas tree or room with them.
How to make wicker jewelry yourself?
You will find out the answer to this question right now. We will also make them from threads. Before you are the stages of creating a beautiful ornament, which can easily turn into a brooch if you pin a pin from the back or into a pendant if you attach a pigtail of threads to it.
To make such a decoration, you will need:
- 4 toothpicks;
- threads of white, yellow, blue, pink;
- scissors.
Manufacturing sequence:
- For this handicraft, Iris threads are perfect. Take a pink ball, wind the end of the thread in the center of crossed toothpicks. Now tie the tip of the yellow thread, form a quadrangle out of it.
- Place 2 more toothpicks inside between the data so that they become 4. Tie a blue thread to one end, wrap it around wooden sticks as shown in the photo.
- The next rows of the pattern are formed from white or light pink thread. Due to the fact that now you have 8 tips of toothpicks, the pattern is more voluminous.
- Next, there is a yellow, then a pink thread, from which we form quadrangles lying crosswise in relation to each other. Completes the creation of a brooch with a yellow, then blue thread.
If you want to make home decorations that no one else will have, then check out the following technique and see the result of the work.
For such a craft, take:
- scissors;
- threads or laces of different colors;
- small round hoop.
First tie two pieces of yellow thread or two laces crosswise.
Now decorate the ring in the same way, but with two pieces of green and blue thread.
On this basis, we will form a round weaving. Pass the sewing thread to the center, secure it here. Begin to braid the laces in a circle, passing the thread from top to bottom.
Continue in this spirit further, complete the blank almost to the end.
To remove it from the base, simply untie the edges of some laces, cut others.
Trim them with scissors and you can form a pendant from this braid for a pendant or make a brooch.
Here's how to make another braided decoration.
For this you need to take:
- rectangular sheet of cardboard;
- scissors;
- strong white threads;
- a needle;
- colored threads;
- Scotch;
- pliers;
- two rings for a chain;
- chain;
- beads, rings for decoration.
Cut strips 3 cm long from above and below on a sheet of cardboard, at a distance of 1 cm from each other. Wrap strong white thread or lacing here, tape the ends to the back of the cardboard.
Thread a colored thread into a needle, arrange the first top row, passing the tool either from above or below the laces. Perform the next row in a checkerboard pattern in relation to the previous one. Having made a fragment of the desired width from a colored thread, take a black one, gold-colored jewelry looks good on it. Passing them into the needle, form such a beautiful row.
The next fragment consists of white threads, against their background the golden beads also look great. When the jewelry of the desired size is formed, cut off the main threads at the back, tie them in a knot on the pendant.
Wrap gray threads on two fingers, remove from your hands, tie the blank to the bottom of the decoration, rewind it just below the middle with gray yarn, cut off the edges to make a beautiful even tassel. Do a few of these.
Use pliers to secure the two chain rings on top of the pendant, thread it here and secure.
The braided decoration is ready.
At the end of the article, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with a simple method that will tell you how to quickly make a wicker decoration.
