Gifts for the New Year are different: expensive and cheap, symbolic and useless, cute and touching, exclusive and not so exclusive, those that you think about for a long time, and those that you fall in love with at first sight. For everyone who has already begun to think about gifts for the New Year, we suggest making a symbol of 2018 - a dog with your own hands, a master class for every taste is already on our website.

Your family and friends will certainly appreciate the care and attention you show them if you give them a unique, handmade gift. And the craftswoman herself is not satisfied with the cute dog that will bring good luck and inspire new crafts. A knitted accessory in the shape of a dog can be attached to a purse or keys and worn like a keychain. You can take a felt dog with you in the car, hang on the tree or place on a bookshelf. A paper dog-bookmark is suitable as a gift for schoolchildren and students, and a magnet or potholder will be happy to live in the kitchen of older relatives. If you want to surprise your loved ones with a gift or please yourself with new ideas, read our recommendations, watch master classes and learn new things with us.

We talked about this in our articles more than once, showed photos and master classes, a selection of diagrams and video lessons. Perhaps you know very well that it is best to create gifts and symbolic decorations for the New Year’s interior with your own hands, exclusively and with love. In 2018 according to the Eastern calendar The Yellow Earth Dog will come to visit us. This animal is very loyal, playful and extremely cute. That is why our first creative experiment will be a soft and beautiful crochet dog.
These cool little dogs can become the basis for a keychain, garland, or even a magnet. You can knit a dog of any size yourself - it consists of two parts, which will need to be sewn together, filling the middle with filler. The knitting principle is the same for all dogs.

We start knitting from the ears, then go to the head, knit the back and tail.
Making the neck, knitting rows from head to back.
From the back we knit down, forming the tummy, back leg and at the end we knit the front legs.

First, here's the diagram:

And now - a step-by-step description:

We collect 3 air loops, starting from the second loop from the hook, we knit a connecting stitch and a single crochet in the next chain stitch. It turned out to be an ear.
7 chain stitches, starting from the second loop from the hook, 6 single crochets (no twisting). Make 1 single crochet over the outermost stitch, forming the eye. We knit one single crochet in the first chain stitch, and then knit the first row (8 single crochets). Then we knit an air loop and turn it.
We make 4 rows with a single crochet.
13 air loops, from the second loop from the hook, then knit one connecting stitch, in each of the next 2 chain stitches, 2 single crochets in the next chain stitch. One single crochet in each of the next nine chain stitches. We make one single crochet in the last single crochet of the head knitting and one connecting stitch in the next single crochet (this is the back and tail). We make one air loop and turn the knitting.
One connecting post per connecting post. One single crochet in each next stitch. Next we knit 10 single crochets and an air loop, after which we turn.
1 single crochet in each of the following stitches. Next, 10 single crochets, 1 single crochet in the connecting column, 1 tbsp. single crochet in next st. single crochet head, 1 connecting stitch into the next single crochet, then one chain stitch and turn.
2 tbsp. single crochet together(first connecting stitch and single crochet), knit st. Single crochet to the end of the row, then chain and turn.
2 tbsp. single crochet in the first st. single crochet, then 1 tbsp. without crochet
2 tbsp. We knit together without a crochet, then st. Single crochet to the end of the row, then turn. Let's move on to knitting the legs.
For the dog's back leg: 1 tbsp. without a crochet in each next, 2 tbsp. single crochet, 2 tbsp. without a crochet together. 1 tbsp. Single crochet in each of next two sts. without a crochet. For each leg we knit rows 11-14.
One air loop, then a turn. Then Art. without crochet until the end of the row(three single crochets).
One air loop, then a turn. Then Art. Single crochet to the end of the row, two chain stitches, turn.
We start with the second loop from the hook, 2 tbsp. Single crochet into the second chain stitch. We knit one st. single crochet in each of the three stitches without crochet(it turns out 5 tbsp. Single crochet). Then 1 air loop, turn.
One tbsp. Single crochet in each of the four sts. without a crochet. One connecting column in the last st. without a crochet.
At the end, cut the thread, leaving a long end for stitching.
For knitting the other half repeat similarly 14 rows.
We put the parts next to each other and sew them tightly, but not completely.
Into the hole stuff the filler and sew it together.
We hide the ends of the threads.
We tie a bow to the dog.

In addition to this knitting technique, there is another, very interesting technique - amigurumi. We will talk about it later in the article. And right now, together with you, we will make the symbol of 2018: a dog with our own hands felt, pom-pom, polymer clay.

DIY crafts for the New Year 2018 - dog is the symbol of the year

We continue our inexhaustible New Year’s theme of “DIY New Year’s Crafts 2018”: the symbol of the year is a dog, and this time we let's make felt faces for the keychain. You can cut out the dog according to the template, add eyes and a nose, and hang the New Year's symbol on a carabiner. We glue or sew the parts together.

Also, a felt dog can be made as a toy, cutting out 2 copies of each part. Such a product is stuffed with cotton wool or padding polyester and then sewn together.

The ideas for creating a dog for the New Year are inexhaustible. In one of the previous articles we talked about... And just like that These fluffy pom-poms can be used to make cute little dog crafts. Almost like the real thing!

Crochet amigurumi dog for New Year 2018

DIY crafts for the New Year 2018 cannot be imagined without the popular amigurumi knitting technique. These voluminous toys conquered the entire planet, and the cutest dog symbol of 2018 already has many “knitted” incarnations.

Dog happiness: crafts for the New Year 2018

Large talisman pillow you can make it and give it to someone really close to you.

Little toy defender may appear in your home now, don’t wait for the New Year!

Soft toy dog Both kids and adults will like it.

In this article we will look at how to crochet a dog, the symbol of 2018, in various variations with diagrams and descriptions. Next, advice will be given for beginners from choosing the material to executing the conceived idea and pattern and ideas for experienced craftswomen.

It’s very pleasant to spend cozy winter New Year’s evenings knitting. Those who know how to crochet or who really want to learn can create amazing toys for children or for interior decoration in the form of dogs for the New Year holidays. This is very interesting and symbolic. Knitted dogs can be used to decorate a house, a Christmas tree, or make exclusive toys for children soaked in the warmth of hands and love.

We select the material and prepare for work

In order for the dog toy, the symbol of 2018 (we’ll look at how to crochet it below) to turn out beautiful, neat and practical, you need to choose the right materials and tools for the job. Let's decide on the threads for the toy. They can be of different compositions: cotton, wool mixture or acrylic.

Among acrylic threads, you can choose a domestic manufacturer - Pekhorka. This factory offers very good thread for Children's New toys. This acrylic does not pill or fade when washed. There is also a very large selection of shades.

You can use any other acrylic yarn, but not very thick or thin. It is important that the thread is voluminous.

The toys made from plush or bouclé yarn look very interesting. But it is suitable for more experienced craftswomen, as the work is not easy.

Try crocheting the symbol of 2018 using step-by-step photos for beginners using Turkish Dolce thread from the manufacturer YarnArt. It is soft and very pleasant to the touch. Among other “complex” threads, it is the easiest to work with. A more complicated thread will be from the same manufacturer called Happy. But it is quite difficult to knit, but the toys turn out to be a treat - fluffy, cute, cozy. And the choice of yarn shades for this thread is quite large. Krokha yarn from Nazar is similar in appearance. You can use any grass thread. It will help you create a shaggy dog.

Now a little about how to choose a hook for toys. Typically, yarn manufacturers indicate the recommended tool number on the thread packaging. These are two values from minimum to maximum. Each craftswoman chooses her own, depending on the density and individual characteristics of knitting. But for toys you need to take a hook slightly smaller than the smallest one that is recommended. Thin acrylic is usually knitted in gauge 1 or 1.5, and plush yarn is usually knit in gauge 2 or 2.5.

The toy needs to be stuffed. To do this, use regular padding polyester or holofiber. Many sellers of toy material say that a special filler is needed. It is sold more expensive than regular padding polyester. Maybe it will be better for dolls made from thin knitwear, but for knitted dogs there is no need to overpay. A simple padding polyester will keep its shape perfectly.

You will also need fittings for the spout and eyelet. For these purposes, there are special blanks on legs, but you can use any buttons, beads, or knit these small parts from black and white yarn.

The principle of crocheting toys for beginners

Working on knitted toys is difficult and at the same time simple and interesting. The main thing here is to understand the principle of operation and you can already knit dogs and other animals without any support.

The main point of working on toys is that all the parts are knitted in the round, in a spiral, without the usual connection of rows with a half-column followed by lifting. Here a row of single crochets is simply knitted and the next one simply goes in a spiral, in a similar turn. Usually all the parts are knitted separately and then assembled into a toy.

Each detail begins with a loop into which 6 single crochets are knitted (sc) and then, in each subsequent row, 6 sc are evenly added for expansion or, depending on the idea, a different number of additions. To narrow the part, decreases are made by knitting two stitches into one or skipping one stitch.

Step-by-step photos for beginners:

According to these patterns, all three-dimensional parts of animals are always crocheted. Afterwards they are stuffed with padding polyester and, when everything is ready, they are assembled into a toy using a special fastening (thread or button-thread) or simply sewn together.

Toys - crochet dogs options for beginners

For beginning knitters, it is better to knit a simple toy with straight legs and arms, an oval body and a round head. To create such a dog, use the above patterns for knitting parts.

Let's try to crochet this simple dog - the symbol of 2018. It requires plush yarn or thicker acrylic.

We start the work with the legs, knit 2 of them, then smoothly move to the abdomen, knitting all the loops of the legs in turn into a large oval. Then we knit the head, arms and ears separately. We sew everything together and attach the eyes and nose.

Watch a detailed video and photo for beginners on how to crochet this cute dog, the symbol of 2018.

Dog patterns for experienced knitters

For experienced knitters, we suggest making this interesting dog on bendable wire legs. Below are photos with a diagram, description and step-by-step pictures of the knitting process.

To work on this doggie we will need:

Acrylic yarn in three shades. Basic for the dog's body, white and black for the details.
Wire.
Sintepon.
Hook and needle with a wide eye.

We knit each part of the dog separately according to the pattern and during the knitting process we insert wire and stuff it with a little padding polyester.

When all the parts are ready, we assemble them into a toy by sewing the parts together.

This dog is interesting because it can take different poses; moreover, it has a complex and interesting muzzle with its own expression.

Potholders - crochet dogs

Now let’s look at how to crochet a potholder in the shape of a dog, the symbol of 2018. For it we need yarn of matching colors and a small number of hooks.

Method for knitting potholders in the form of a symbol of 2018:

The potholder is knitted in the shape of a circle with additional details for the muzzle. We don’t need to fill it with padding polyester, it will be flat, so you can use double crochets in knitting, but if you wish, you can knit without a crochet.
We knit a circle of the required diameter. First we make a loop and 6 stitches in it, then in each row we add 6 stitches evenly until the diameter of the circle reaches the desired size.
We also knit the eyes, but make small circles.
We knit a triangular nose.
We knit the muzzle and ears.
We sew all the details and embroider the mustache and smile. Afterwards, we tie it with columns around the perimeter of the entire potholder in the opposite direction.
This method of tying is called the crayfish step.
We knit a loop of air loops onto the potholder.

Pillow in the shape of a dog

You can also crochet the symbol of 2018, a dog in the form of a pillow, let’s look at how to do this. There may be options here too. The pillow itself is the body of the dog or its muzzle. The body can be round or oval. We use the principle of knitting toys described above. We knit the body separately - a circle or an oval. Afterwards we knit the head, paws, ears and tail all according to the same principle, we just make more rows and additions, knitting the required size of the parts.

We sew all the details together and get a cute decorative pillow in the shape of a dog.

You can use any thread for the pillow, choose colors so that it fits into the interior. You can knit such a thing for yourself or as a gift for loved ones for the New Year.

Crochet dog - various options

And here are more options and ideas for knitted dogs that you can use.

You can tie a toy on your dog's hand. To do this, we knit the dog’s body in a circle according to the principle of a mitten, leaving a hole for the mouth, then we knit it too, like a finger on a mitten. We do not sew up or fill the body, we put it on the palm of our hand. We knit all the remaining details: ears, paws, tail and muzzle details, and sew everything on. The hand toy is ready.

You can make a jar in the shape of a dog - a stand for pens and other accessories. To do this, we crochet a rectangle to cover the jar. Then we knit the parts of the dog and sew them on.

The symbol of 2018 is easy to crochet; you can make such a dog for a school competition with step-by-step photos for beginners!

Preparing for the New Year, we are in a hurry to create beauty and comfort at home, to prepare gifts for children and loved ones. Handmade gifts and toys have a special warmth, kindness and style. We suggest crocheting a dog - the symbol of 2018, and we will tell you how to do this later in the article. You can crochet any item for the interior. This could be a potholder, a pillow, a figurine in the shape of a dog or a Christmas tree toy, as well as a play dog for kids.

The article provides several introductions to toys that are sure to appeal to both adults and children.

We will look at two options for how to crochet a dog potholder - the symbol of 2018. The following is a description of two types of dog faces in the form of potholders.

Option No. 1 Round muzzle with sewn-on ears. All parts are knitted separately, then sewn and tied around the perimeter in a crawfish step.

We knit all the details with simple stitches without throwing loops and with throwing.

To work you need:

thread. It is better to take thick cotton in three shades;
hook number 1 or 1.5

We knit the potholder as follows:

The muzzle itself is a circle. We do this: we knit 6 stitches into a loop without throwing over. Next, we make extensions, adding 6 single crochets evenly in each subsequent row. We knit the second row 1 stitch in each stitch from the previous row, then in the third row after 1, then after 2 and so on. When the circle reaches the desired diameter, break the thread.
We knit the muzzle with double crochets. The first row is 10 double crochets, then 3 rows we add 1 double crochet on both sides, we knit 1 row without changing the number of stitches, then we decrease them in the same sequence. We got an oval. We tie it with a crawfish step, leaving 5 columns in the middle of the upper part of the oval. We continue to knit them upwards, making 5 rows in columns. Then we switch to stitches with a throw and increase their number in each subsequent row 7 times by 1 stitch. Then we make 3 more rows with decreases of 1 column.
Next we knit the ears. First, it is better to draw a pattern for the ear of the desired shape on paper and knit in stitches, adding and subtracting their number according to the pattern. When the part is ready, it needs to be tied with a crayfish step.
Using a needle and thread, sew all the details into place.
Next, we knit small circles for the eyes and a triangular nose, embroider the antennae and mouth, and make a seam on the eyes with white thread for a highlight.
We knit a loop on top with simple air loops.

The pot holder in the shape of a dog's face is ready.

Option No. 2 Dog muzzle with ears

Now let’s look at another option for how to crochet a dog symbol of 2018 in the form of a potholder. This will be a one-piece knitted potholder. There will be no need to sew on the ears afterwards. For such a dog, we use only double crochets and thread changes in knitting.

We knit according to the pattern, changing the number of stitches and thread color if necessary. After the toy is tied, you need to tie it around the entire perimeter in a crawfish step.

Knit circles for the eyes and a triangle for the nose with black yarn and sew on. Make a loop on top using air loops.

Knitting a pillow

Now let's look at how to crochet a pillow - a dog, the symbol of 2018. In order to knit a pillow you need to prepare:

threads You will need 200-300 grams, depending on the desired size of the product. Take threads of different shades, but of the same thickness;
padding polyester;
hook in accordance with the thickness of the thread;
a needle with a thick eye for sewing parts together.

Let's get started:

You need to knit all the details separately. We start with the body, which will be in the shape of a flat circle. To do this, knit 2 circles of the required diameter. Then we knit a couple of three rows without increasing the number of stitches. We sew two circles, leaving a little space through which we stuff the part with padding polyester and then sew it up.
Next, you need to tie the head, stuff it with padding polyester, paws, stuff it with padding polyester. Leave the ears and tail unstuffed.
We sew on all the details.
We embroider the muzzle with black threads and stitch the paws.

We have a beautiful decorative knitted pillow. We made it round, but you can make the body in the shape of a cushion, then you will get an oval dachshund pillow. And then we’ll look at how to knit a toy dachshund and a cute puppy.

Crocheted dachshund toy

Knitted dachshunds are stylish and cute. For small toys, you can use all the leftover yarn or new skeins, if desired, in different colors, but of the same thread thickness. Dogs made from “Children’s Novelty” acrylic or similar thread make very good results. Acrylic yarn is inexpensive, looks beautiful, and due to its wear-resistant characteristics, the yarn is just right for toys that are often used in play.

Such threads do not roll up and do not fade when washed. The toy can even be washed in a machine on a delicate cycle. One dog needs no more than 50 grams. You can make a one-color dachshund, or you can make a multi-colored one, then you need to choose the colors so that they are in harmony.

If you use leftover yarn of different shades, then choose those that are the same in thickness.

Let's prepare everything you need for work:

threads of selected shades;
hook No. 1 or 1.5;
beads or blanks for eyes;.
a needle with a wide eye for collecting parts;
padding polyester

Let's get started with creative work:

We start by working on the details. Let's tie the ears first. To do this, we will cast on 3 air loops and knit a petal-shaped piece with single crochets, first adding 1 loop at a time, and when we reach the 7th row, which should have 8 single crochets, we begin decreasing by 2 loops. We finish 13 next to each other in 2 loops. We make 2 of these ears.
Now we knit 4 legs as follows: we make a loop and knit 7 stitches into it, in the 2nd row in each stitch we knit 2 single crochets, we get 14 single crochets, 3rd row we repeat the same 14 stitches. In the 4th row we decrease 7 stitches, knitting 11 single crochets. In the 5th and 6th rows we make 2 decreases each, we get 7 single crochets. In the 7th, 8th and 9th rows we knit the existing 7 single crochets. Now you need to fill the foot and finish with the tenth row, knitting a stitch through one. There are 3 loops left, which we tighten and break the thread.
We knit the tail like this: we make a loop and 6 single crochets in it. We knit these 6 single crochets for 10 rows. We break the thread.
The dachshund's head is made like this: with black thread we knit the nose for 5 rows, starting with 5 single crochets in the loop and adding 3 single crochets in each row. Then we switch to a brown thread, knit 4 rows without changes and then increase each row by 2 single crochets. When the number of single crochets in a row is 24, we begin to decrease 4 single crochets in each row. When there are 10 single crochets left, fill the head with synthetic padding, knit 2 more rows with decreases and tighten, break the thread.
What remains is the body of the dachshund. We begin to knit 6 single crochets into a loop with brown thread, then increase each row by 6 single crochets. When there are 18 single crochets in a row, we knit the body along the entire length without changing the number of single crochets. Here you can change the thread and knit in stripes, but finish knitting again with a brown thread with decreases of 6 single crochets in each row. Stuff the body with padding polyester and complete the last 2 rows with decreases.
Now let's sew all the parts together. We thread the needle with the thread we used to knit and sew the ears to the head, the head to the body and the paws and tail into place. After we sew on the eyes, you can sew a bead on the neck or tie a ribbon with a bow for decoration.

The scheme for working on a dog will always be something like this. You can change the shape of the body, paws and ears by changing decreases and additions. Everything else is similar. All parts are knitted separately and sewn together. The paws can be secured with a special thread fastening or a button-thread fastening. Then they will spin in different directions. For such fastening, you need to insert a needle and thread into the same places, as if sewing on a button, only sew 2 legs at once right through, through the body.

For decoration, you can use any braid or even a chain that you tie around your neck.

Moreover, with this knitting technique you can adjust the size of the toy. If we make more additions according to a similar principle in each part, we will get a larger toy. Or vice versa, if we make a few additions, but proportionally, in every detail, we will get a very small dog.

The width of the yarn will also affect the size of the toy. There is very thick yarn, in which 100 meters per 100 gram skein or more. From such threads, according to a similar description, you will get a rather large dog. Then you need to take a larger hook - No. 2 or 2.5. But you should not take a hook whose number is recommended on the package of threads; take a smaller one, since the fabric of the toy should be dense.

A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Good day, dear friends! New Year 2018 is coming very soon. This means it's time to get ready for the upcoming event, for example, prepare homemade gifts. Do-it-yourself dog - what could be better as a souvenir for an upcoming event?

Now many have already begun to prepare for the holiday, which I strongly advise you to do too. In this article you will find many representatives of the canine world of various breeds and from a variety of materials.

This post is so detailed that I will be very surprised if you don't find what you are looking for. This year will be special for me, since I was born exactly two eastern calendar cycles ago, also in the year of the dog. So I’ll try not to lose face and collect as many ideas as possible. There will be warm and soft toys, pillows, crafts, even elements of home comfort.

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 the 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 is wearing a fluffy tutu skirt, which is complemented by an 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 amount 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:

Cut out a circle base from thick cardboard.
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.
Using a similar principle, make the top of the cylinder.
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.
Sew or glue the top of the hat 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 do them in a variety of 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

You can make cards and original origami from cardboard and paper. For example, what do you think of this cartoon dog? You can print it out and trace it around to create your own original card. 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 tree garland that will remind you of the symbol of the year.

Here's how you can fold napkins on the holiday 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 a 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).

Warm material that is perfect for celebrating the upcoming New Year. Make a key holder or some sort of hanger for dog things out of plywood. Woodworking skills, templates for cutting out a dog, and acrylic paints with specialized wood varnish will come in handy.

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 is a very childish way to 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 mk you can make 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 simplest form, even very young children can do it.

With the following three step-by-step master classes, you will create several dogs of completely 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 the New Year 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 of 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 love the Dalmatians, then you will definitely like the following idea for a New Year's surprise. The patterns are of a fairly 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.

It is better to sew such a dog by hand, since you just need to be a virtuoso of a sewing machine in order to sew the parts of such a dog well.

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

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 stores (unlike the same fabrics). So feel free to go to the store for a new pair of socks and create adorable babies.

Both versions of New Year's dogs are sewn according to the same principle, but the result is 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.

And what can be made 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 a variety of crafts with it. 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 the required size 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 in 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, you can make wool and other decorative elements from plastic bottles. 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 a small child, 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 ordinary 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 A detailed description of the creation process is provided 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!

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva
