How to make a dog with your own hands

01. New Year's dachshund from salt dough

A cheerful dachshund that brings joy and Christmas mood- perhaps this is the most relevant souvenir for the upcoming 2018. And also this good way make your family and friends happy original gift self made. By the way, to make this dog you will need a minimum of materials and time.

For work you will need:

• universal dough;
• rolling pin;
• gouache paints;
• brushes for drawing;
• universal varnish;
• decorative elements.

Dachshund modeling

First you need to draw a sketch of the dachshund completely on a piece of paper. Cut out the drawing and cut off the protruding parts (ears, tail). As a result, you will get some kind of creature of an incomprehensible shape, but don't let that scare you.

Roll out the finished dough into a layer 3-4 cm thick. Put a stencil on the resulting cake and cut along the contour. Remove all excess dough in a bag, it will come in handy soon.

With a wet brush, smooth out all the angular cuts along the contour and moisten the dog's muzzle completely. From two small balls of dough, roll up ovals and lay them on the muzzle at the top. Make a nose out of a small ball.

With a sharp blade or knife, make a transverse dent in front of the eyes to make eyelids. Also, with a knife, make a small incision forming the dog's ajar mouth.

From a large piece of dough, form a sausage with one narrowed edge. With the thin side, attach the sausage to the cut on the head immediately after the eyes. Gently smooth and press down on the joint with your fingers. With the palm of your hand, lightly flatten the sausage along its entire length. Thus, the dachshund got a long, wide ear.

Form a three-dimensional triangle from a small piece of dough, then bend it a little so that it resembles a Santa's hat. Moisten the bottom of the cap with water and stick it directly on top of the dachshund's head. With a knife or toothpick, make a wide strip of “fur” at the bottom. Stick a ball of dough to the sharp edge of the cap.

Now take another piece of dough and roll it out or knead it with your fingers to a thickness of 0.5 cm. Cut out a primitive Christmas tree shape from the cake with a knife. Stick a Christmas tree on the edge of the dog's back, instead of a tail. You can also make a small relief on the Christmas tree with a knife.

Under the Christmas tree we place a garland of small balls at the same distance from each other. Finished work dry.

New Year's Dachshund painting

We paint the main part of the dachshund in ocher color, i.e. dark yellow. Until the base color is dry, darken the edge of the ear and part of the back. brown. If the yellow is still wet, then there will be no obvious junction with brown, but a smooth transition will be obtained.

When the base is dry, paint the hat, Christmas tree and garland with the main colors. Draw the eyes in white.

When all the previous layers have dried, fill in the dachshund's eyes with black.

We cover the finished dog with glossy varnish, and after it dries, we complement the Christmas tree and the garland with decor. I used glue-based rhinestones, they stick well and do not have to mess with glue.

What to do with your child to distract from watching TV or computer games? Of course, fascinating needlework. Children always welcome new experiments with paper or other understandable and accessible materials. And if some interesting object is made the subject for copying, then the work will be even more exciting. Step by step master class see .

03. Do-it-yourself paper dog for the little ones

This master class offers another option for modeling a paper dog. The basis of the craft will be a cylinder or roll of toilet paper. Creating animal figures in this way is a great way to develop Creative skills and spatial imagination of the child.

According to the specified scenario, you can later make a cat, a cow, a sheep, a mouse and many other animals. Each species has its own distinctive features, they must be shown on paper. Everyone knows what a dog looks like, but how to make a copy of it in the form of crafts?

To create a paper figurine of a dog, you must have:

• a roll of toilet paper or a sheet of thick cardboard of any color;
• brown corrugated paper (if cardboard is available) Brown for the manufacture of a roll, then corrugated paper can not be used);
• scissors;
• stapler and glue;
• pencil;
• pens;
• small cut-outs of colored paper optional.

Prepare a cylindrical blank - the basis of the dog's torso (head and torso). A cardboard roll from towels or toilet paper or a sheet of cardboard folded into a tube will do. If you use a sheet, then it is better to fix it with a stapler, and not with glue.

To highlight the dog's ears, make indentations in the top of the cylinder. Press your finger from above on the side wall, first on one side, then press in the same way, but on the opposite side.

Get a recess ( top part heads), and on the sides will be pointed ears. Lubricate one part with glue, attach the second one on top so that the paper remembers this position.

Coat the paper piece brown corrugated paper. The texture of the material is suitable for imitating animal fur.

Cut out additional small blanks from plain brown and white paper: circles for eyes and cheeks, oblong paws. These paper fragments will be needed in order to complete the desired figure and turn it into a toy dog.

Glue 2 paws to the bottom of the cylinder. Lubricate the strips on the legs with glue, bring under the cylinder and bend up. In front, make a muzzle by attaching eyes with pupils and cheeks. Draw hairiness on the brown circles with a pen.

Move your tongue under the furry cheeks. Puppies often stick out their tongue when they are hot or when they are resting. Glue a black dot on the tip of the nose. Place brown corrugated paper cutouts on top of round eyes to cover them like eyebrows, then they will not be so bulging.

Also stick a strap with a medal on the cylinder (the part where the torso should be). Attach a thin tail to the back by cutting it out of plain brown paper.

interesting paper craft in the form of a dog for children is ready. The author of this master class is Elena Nikolaeva.

04. Do-it-yourself pillow in the form of a dog

To sculpt a dog, we only need plasticine of different colors. We start by sculpting the head. The dog will be brown. But you can make it in a different color.

We roll the ball. And immediately smooth out all the bumps so that the toy is smooth and neat.

We form a spout from black plasticine. This is a small triangle, one side of which should be slightly rounded. The corners themselves are not sharp.

We make ears. They are elongated flat droplets.

We stick the ears to the head of the dog. You can raise one of them a little. So the dog will look more interesting.

It remains to blind the eyes for the muzzle. And with this we will finish shaping the face and move on to the body.

We sculpt two flat white circles. They must be small. We stick them to the head. And on top we stick smaller black circles. The eyes are ready. And the muzzle of the toy is fully framed.

We blind a New Year's cap for a dog. It will be red. On the bottom we will make a white stroke. To do this, roll up a thin sausage and stick it along the edge of the cap.

Let's put a hat on the dog's head and blind small ball as a pompom.

Let's start making coats. From red plasticine we first sculpt the torso. And immediately we attach it to the dog. You can insert a short stick into the body and insert the other end into the head of the toy. Then the body will hold on tight.

In place of the neck, we will also stick a white stroke. We will also stick it on the bottom of the fur coat. We will also make a white stripe on a fur coat in the middle.

Sculpt small red droplets. These are the sleeves. We stick them to a fur coat. And from black plasticine we roll small balls. These are the paws. We stick them to the bottom of the sleeves.

We sculpt the hind legs in the form of small sausages from brown plasticine. We stick them to the bottom of the fur coat. We also make felt boots from red plasticine. We stick them to the hind legs.

We roll up small white sausages and stick them to the junction of the paws and boots.

To work, you need to prepare:

• scissors;
• four cotton pads;
• a piece of white, green and red paper;
• glue;
• needle and thread;
• ribbon 12 cm long.

First, we glue a ribbon to the cotton pad. This is a loop with which the child will hang a homemade toy - a dog on the Christmas tree. If there is no ribbon in the house, it does not matter, it can be easily replaced by a thread, knitting yarn or a clothespin.

The time has come to decorate the dog's ears. Cut the third cotton pad in half and round off the corners at the bottom.

We carry out the same procedure with the upper corners of the ears of the craft, and at the end we slightly narrow the details by cutting off two strips from the inside of the halves cotton pads.

We glue the elements to the craft. It turns out a lop-eared dog.

Now let's decorate the animal's cheeks. To do this, we will go through the center of the fourth cotton pad with a needle and thread, collect the drapery. It turned out a bow with uneven halves, but soon we will correct this misunderstanding.

Close the white thread with a satin ribbon. The edges of the fabric can be fixed with glue or thread with a needle. In any case, the edge of the ribbon is on the back of the bow, it is invisible.

Glue the cheeks in the form of a bow to the head of the craft. A pretty muzzle is already looming.

We will draw the eyes of the dog from white and green paper. Glue them to a cotton pad, slipping them under the cheeks.

Let's show a Christmas tree toy close-up. However, the craft is not yet ready.

Let's add snow-white dog brown nose and red tongue. These details are cut out of paper, although buttons or fabric would have been more interesting.

We cut out the following elements from the dog: ears, tail, brown felt spots, black nose, orange bow. We fold the brown sewing thread into 4 additions and knit a chain of air loops. Small elements can be cut out from the main part of the dog, then attached to the felt, circled.

We have prepared the easiest master classes on making dogs with our own hands, which even a beginner in needlework can repeat.

Option 1. Plasticine dog

There is nothing easier than making a plasticine dog!

Since the material is very plastic, you can easily give it the desired shape. You will need plasticine of different colors, preferably realistic shades.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Take three small pieces of plasticine. For example, brown, white and black. Let the brown material become the "base" of the dog. Divide it into three parts. Roll the first into a small ball. Divide the second into 5 small slices, and then roll them into balls. As you may have guessed, this will be the nose and paws of the dog.
2. Take a very tiny piece of black plasticine and make a ball out of it. Attach it to one of the small brown pieces. You will get a cute dog nose!
3. Make 2 small circles out of white material. These will be the eyes of the toy. Separate 2 small pieces from the black plasticine again, roll them into balls and attach them to the white circles. The eyes are ready!
4. Your dog now has a body, eyes, nose, and legs. Next you need to make the ears and tail. To do this, take the remaining (third) part of the plasticine, divide it into three pieces. Blind from them oblong parts that will act as a tail and ears.

You should get something like this!

And a few more ideas for inspiration:

And here is a video tutorial that will make you a professional in modeling plasticine dogs!

Option 2. Paper and cardboard toy

Handmade gives you the opportunity to experiment and make crafts for the New Year from the simplest materials at hand. Among them, cardboard and paper are very popular. So do not rush to throw away the packaging from the new TV or shoe box. Let's make a cool dog out of them for the New Year 2018!

Dog on an old disk

You will need thick cardboard old disk, scissors, glue and markers.

Here's what to do:

• Draw the details of this dog on the cardboard. Just draw them while looking at the screen, and then carefully cut them out with scissors.
• Glue the parts to the disk (as shown in the picture below) and decorate them with felt-tip pens to your liking.

Origami

Another very interesting option for making a toy dog!

Use the ready-made "layout"! Print one of the blanks you like on the printer and carefully fold them according to the scheme.

As you can see, all the details are already colored, so you don't have to paint them. By the way, if you contact a copy center with a request to print a pattern, then you can ask to increase it to the desired size.

More ways to make a dog out of paper

Well, what about without the old good origami? Three simple video tutorials will describe in detail all the stages of making such toys. By the way, if you have a child, he will certainly be interested in the creative process!

Option 3. Craft from buttons

Looks bright, but done quickly! Solid pluses.

You will need rhinestones, beads, buttons - any decorations to your taste. You can make both a plain craft and a multi-colored dog for the New Year.

Draw with a pencil on a sheet of cardboard or paper the outline of your future dog. Then, using a glue gun, glue the buttons, beads and rhinestones without going beyond the outline.

It will turn out very unusual!

Option 4. Crochet a toy

Crocheting is one of the most fun types of needlework! By the way, ready-made toys can decorate the house on New Year's Eve.

Of course, you will need some basic knitting knowledge, but even if you are new to this business, do not be discouraged. Diagrams, pictures, and videos will help you figure out what's what.

Let's start with the preparatory stage. You will need:

1. Yarn of different colors. Your imagination will allow you to make a really unusual toy! Do not be afraid of bright and even flashy colors - they will give the product a "zest".
2. Suitable hook. It is selected according to the thickness of the threads of your yarn. If you cannot choose the size yourself, then ask for advice at a specialized store that sells needlework supplies. You will certainly be given valuable advice.
3. Filler. It can be cotton wool, synthetic winterizer and even cereals (which is pre-calcined in the oven). The most practical option for stuffing is synthetic winterizer.
4. Scissors.
5. Glue.
6. Beads or any other small details that will act as peepholes and decorations.

After you have prepared everything you need, decide on the size of the toy and you can start creating crafts!

Maximum useful information you can learn about crocheting dogs from the video. A visual master class will allow you to quickly understand all the intricacies of crocheting.

It is possible that you will like this needlework so much that you decide to take it seriously!

1. Video tutorial on crocheting a dog.

2. Video tutorial on amigurumi crochet.

We can't help but focus on amazing technology Japanese art called amigurumi. Crafts are made from colored yarn, and the simplest knitting method is used - in a spiral.

The "chip" of amigurumi is that the toy is made in parts. Small details are knitted separately from each other, and then connected. To give "weight" to the product, pieces of plastic are placed in the limbs of the toy along with the filler (paralon or cotton wool).

And for experienced craftswomen, we have several knitting patterns!

And a few more photo ideas for knitted dogs. Agree, one of these toys will be the most memorable gift for the New Year!

Option 5. Tilda dog

The best crafts for the New Year just can not be imagined!

First, let's figure out what a tilde is. This rag toy with smooth lines. There are no unnecessary details in it, and calm shades are chosen for its manufacture. Faces and muzzles of such rag dolls also very conditional.

In order to make a tilde dog with your own hands, you need a pattern.

You will need:

1. Two pieces of fabric (medium size). The cuts should be different sizes.
2. Pins.
3. Threads.
4. Needle.
5. A small piece of fabric for the nose of the future dog. This detail is optional - be guided by your taste.
6. Lace.
7. Filler. Experts recommend filling the toy with padding polyester, as it is considered one of the most practical materials.

Now you need a pattern. It depicts all the details of the future dog. Print it out on A4 paper.

We proceed directly to sewing toys. Carefully cut out the details with scissors. The pattern says how many copies of this or that part of the tilde you need to cut.

It is better to sew a dog from a light fabric.

Fold the fabric in half and pin the paper details of the future dog to it with pins. Carefully pin the head, ears, torso and paws.

Then circle each detail along the contour. There is important nuance: if you need to make some part of the dog's body in four copies, then circle it according to the pattern on a piece of fabric folded in half. Then slightly shift your pattern and circle again. Now you will have four parts.

After you have circled all the parts of the future toy, remove the paper patterns. Do not unfold fabric folded in half.

You just need to carefully pin the circled parts with pins. Do as shown in the photo.

Pay attention to the dotted and solid lines on the pattern.

On solid lines, you need to start up a machine line, and on dotted lines, a line is not needed at all.

In the next step, you need to cut out all the details from the fabric. It is necessary to leave an allowance of approximately 5 millimeters!

After that, the parts are sewn together with a machine seam. Do not forget to sew up the place in the tuck area.

Now all stitched elements need to be turned right side out. It is convenient to do this through the left holes.

The paper pattern must be reattached to the paws and ears of the tilde dog. Mark the cuts and make cuts in the fabric, cutting only the top layer (this is important!).

Take a plastic tube and use it to turn each piece inside out. Then fill them with padding polyester using the same plastic tube.

In those places where the incision is located, the fabric is sutured by hand.

Once this is done, you will immediately begin to distinguish all the details of the tilde dog. Now you just need to connect them to each other.

Start with the muzzle - pin it in the right place, and then manually sew it with blind stitches. We perform the same actions with the ears and paws of the tilde.

By the way, here is a little trick! If you do not firmly sew the dog's limbs to the body, then the paws will freely fall and rise.

If you want, you can decorate the toy by sewing a nose or a heart on it.

The next step will be the manufacture of clothes for our crafts. For a dress, it is better to take a brighter fabric.

From the colored fabric, we need to cut two identical rectangles.

Size of the first: 15 cm by 23 cm;

Second size: 6 cm by 45 cm.

The piece that is more authentic is a skirt. Step back 1 cm from the top edge of the skirt and make 2 parallel stitches. The distance between them should be 7 millimeters.

Then gently pull on the 2 lower threads - this way you will get a gather on the skirt. The length of the top edge of the skirt should match the length of the bottom edge of the top of the dress. You need to sew them to each other with a machine seam.

After that, sew the lace along the top edge of the dress and sew it from the inside out. Turn the dress right side out.

If you want, you can make sleeves with an apron too!

The finished dress must be put on the tilde dog. The seam should be located on the back of the toy.

That's all! Beauty, right?

What do you think of this toy?
