Step-by-step photos demonstrate how you can make the most elementary image of a pig with your own hands. Yellow is chosen to highlight the coming of 2019 Year of the Earth Pig. The New Year's attribute should bring good luck to those who get such gifts under the tree. Even a small child can complete the easiest part of a master class on making a yellow pig from corrugated paper. You just need to wind the same strips in a circle one after the other. Since the easiest master classes are selected for kindergarten, you can complicate the task by watching the video. From paper of different colors, you can create complex designs for exhibitions and competitions at school. Such light crafts without paper patterns, by the way, can be done at school even during recess.

List of materials for the master class

• piece of corrugated paper - 30 x 50 cm
• plastic eyes for toys - 1 pair
• hot glue stick gun
• a small piece of black paper
• scissors

Instruction with step by step photos

1. Cut strips 1 cm thick. In this case, the paper must be cut along and across the corrugated lines. Otherwise, the pressed surfaces will not cling.
   
2. Wind the strips in a circle. Their number depends on what size you want to get the pig. In this case, the diameter of the finished product is 8-9 cm. Leave one strip intact, and glue the free edge.
   
3. Glue one end of the last tape to the circle. Wind it until there is a free edge about 10 cm long. At this distance, fix the tape with a drop of glue. Make a bend in the form of an ear with an indent on the circumference of up to 1 cm and glue again. Make the second ear as well and glue the free edge.
   
4. Cut strips 6-7 cm thick for a nickle. Twist and fix with glue.
   
5. Cut two small peas out of black paper. Stick them on the patch, and then glue the small part on the large one. Add eyes and you're done.
   

The symbolism of the upcoming 2019 is the yellow pig. In this article, we will look at a few simple step-by-step DIY pig making master classes.

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

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

The first step is to inflate the balloon. Then, in several layers, we apply prepared scraps of newspaper dipped in PVA glue and water on the inflated ball so that our piggy bank is not soft, but strong enough and let it dry.

In a plastic bucket, we will prepare a mass for papier-mâché: you need to tear toilet paper or napkins into small pieces and add PVA glue. Mix everything well! We coat the future pig with the obtained "chewed paper".

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

Divide the foil reel into four equal parts - it will serve as legs for our pig. We glue the legs to the pig with masking tape. Then we apply papier-mâché. The inside of the legs must be filled with something heavy - so our pig will become more resilient. Sand or a small metal object, such as a nut or screws, will do.

We make a patch of foil for the pig, under which you need to form a mouth (upper and lower lip).

Now we need to sculpt eyes and ears for our pig - they can be made either from the remains of papier-mâché or molded from clay.

The flexible wire will serve as a tail for the pig: we twist it, covering the tail with the remnants of papier-mâché. After our pig is completely dry, it must be properly treated several times with acrylic putty and then wiped with a cloth soaked in water - this is how the pig's barrel will be leveled.

Our piggy is ready for painting!

First you need to apply dark paint, you can use several different shades. Then red paint is applied to the craft with a sponge.

Then - pink, and as the final stage - pink and white paints are applied. The last step is to apply white paint to the protruding surfaces. Our piggy bank is ready!

We offer you another version of the piggy bank, the step-by-step execution of which you can watch in the video:

It is very easy to make such a pig, it turns out to be very cool and is suitable as a talisman that any child will be happy with, or as a craft in the kindergarten. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to make such a souvenir.

DIY simple crafts for kindergarten

As a product that can be easily made, a paper craft, a suit for a children's matinee - a mask and pig ears, as well as a pig in a pen, acts as a product that can be easily made. Let's consider step by step how easy it is to do such crafts yourself.

Paper craft

To make such a toy paper souvenir, we need: a black pencil and marker, a ruler, colored paper - pink or red, as well as silver, a stapler and glue, plastic eyes prepared in advance, a ribbon for decoration.

The body of our pig should be voluminous; for this we need colored paper - pink or red. We cut out an even rectangle from paper, connect the edges with glue or a stapler so that we get the base-body for our craft - a high and wide tube.

Next, we make the basis for the pig's face: we take paper of two different colors, from one we cut out a larger circle - the head of our pig, and two small triangles-ears, from the second - a smaller oval-patch. Eyes for pigs can be taken prepared in advance - plastic, or you can cut them yourself out of other colored paper.

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

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

We tie a thin ribbon around the pig's neck and tie an elegant bow. Our pig is ready!

The finished paper craft-pig can be presented as a New Year's present, and it will also look good on a decorated Christmas tree as a toy.

You can also make such a craft out of cardboard:

Suit: mask and pig ears

It is very easy to prepare such a costume for a children's matinee on your own, since it does not require sewing and its production will take only a few minutes.

For a costume consisting of a patch, ears and a pig's tail, we need:

• felt or fleece pink and white,
• scissors,
• glue,
• stapler,
• paper cup,
• pink elastic band,
• thin elastic band,
• white thin plastic hair hoop.

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

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

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

Cut off a rectangular strip of the same width from the felt so that you can wrap our glass. Now we glue our cut out parts to the glass: a circle to the bottom, a rectangular strip along the entire glass. It turns out to be a pretty pink patch!

Cut out two small oval details from white felt - nostrils. We glue on the patch exactly in the middle.

We make two small holes on the sides of the cup, into which we insert a thin elastic band. We tie an elastic band on each side to a large knot inside the cup-patch. We try on our nose on our head, it should hold tight enough - so that it does not fall off, but also does not press hard. Our nose for a pig costume is ready!

Getting started making ears... To do this, we need to cut off two large pieces in the shape of pig ears from the pink felt. Then we take our headband, pin our eyelet, pinch it and wrap it around the hoop, secure it well with glue.

Our costume for the holiday is ready!

Pig in the pen

To make such a textile craft, we need:

• empty plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters,
• plastic eyes,
• 4 plastic covers,
• a piece of light felt or felt material,
• a small piece of flexible wire,
• a piece of padding polyester,
• nylon white stocking,
• multi-colored paper,
• a few wooden skewers
• a roll of twine,
• shoe cardboard box cover,
• gouache in red and white,
• colorless varnish,
• hot glue,
• a few pebbles, acorns and twigs.

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

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

Now we are making a pig from a plastic bottle: we cut the bottle into several parts - the bottom, the middle and the neck. We connect the neck to the bottom, glue it with hot glue.

Using scissors, carefully cut out the mouth under the bottleneck. We wrap the bottle with a padding polyester, and also make a hole-mouth with the help of scissors.

We tighten the body of our workpiece with a tighter stocking, cut out a hole-mouth and fix it with hot glue.

Our stocking knot on the neck of the bottle must be closed with a snout: for this we cut out a circle from white cardboard, tighten it with nylon, tighten it with a thread - our snout is ready.

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

Cut out the pig's ears from light felt, glue it to the head.

We prepare the legs: we take plastic corks, wrap them with padding polyester and nylon, tighten them with a thread, fix and glue them to the pig's body with glue.

Preparing the gouache: mix the red and white colors so that it turns out pink. Paint over our pig evenly. Apply a colorless varnish on top. After the craft is dry, glue the eyes and nostrils to the pig. Our piggy corral craft is ready!

We sew a pig from children's tights

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

Socks also make good piglets:

Pig ball made of thread

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

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

First, we need to prepare the base-body of the pig: for this we take a ball, inflate it to the size we need. Now we pierce the plastic cup with a needle: the resulting holes should go near the very bottom of our cup. We will pour PVA glue into it, and we will pull the thread through the holes so that it passes through the glue poured into the glass.

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

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

After the glue is completely dry, you need to pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it from the craft.

Pig legs are made in the same way: a sausage ball is inflated, wrapped with threads, then after the glue dries, the ball must be carefully burst and removed from the legs.

Now you need to glue the legs to the body; while the glue dries up, we can start making the pig's face. To do this, on colored paper, we first need to draw all the necessary details - a patch, eyes and ears, then cut them out and glue them on the pig's body.

Then you need to stretch a long thread and secure it with a loop knot - it will come in handy if we want to hang our craft on the Christmas tree.

Coffee toy

A New Year's souvenir-pig in the form of a coffee toy is just as easy to make, its scheme is quite simple, while it will have an exquisite aroma of coffee, vanilla or cinnamon and will give its new owner only positive emotions. Let's start creating a coffee toy!

The technique for making such a souvenir is quite simple, and for making naf-naf we will need: light coarse calico, light threads, stuffing material - synthetic winterizer or foam rubber, vanillin or vanilla sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, cinnamon, scissors, PVA glue, a needle, old toothbrush, gel pen, small container for diluting the fragrance, brushes, acrylic paints.

First, you need to prepare and cut out a template - you can attach tracing paper or loose paper to the monitor screen and circle the outline of the toy with the photo.

The toy can also be cut out in any size, for this it is enough to click on the picture, and its size will increase. It is also advisable to transfer the cut out pattern to thin cardboard - it is more practical and convenient.

Now our pen will come in handy - we will outline the resulting pattern with it; you need to do this on a fabric that is folded in half; if you plan to sew more than one toy, then it is necessary to leave on the fabric between the patterns a space for the seam allowance of about 0.5 cm, while the seam itself is better done not along the drawn line itself, but next to it: the trace from the handle will not be noticeable if the fabric gets wet.

It is necessary to simultaneously sew two layers of fabric along the line; the seam begins and ends between the hind limbs of our craft, while about 2 centimeters remains unstitched - this hole is necessary so that it is more convenient to fill the pig. Also, you cannot cut the threads of the seam so that it does not come apart when we turn and stuff our pig.

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

Now we turn it out and stuff the stitched pig; for particularly tight spaces, the ends of folded scissors are suitable. We fill the toy with padding polyester using unsewn holes: the more padding polyester inside, the more "plump", "pot-bellied" our pig will be. It is necessary to carefully sew up the holes through which we stuffed our pig and thread it - this will help to easily hang our pig to dry.

Now we will prepare a flavoring agent for our craft: dilute 40 ml of boiling water in a prepared container and add a teaspoon of coffee. Then the remaining ingredients - vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa - add about a quarter teaspoon to the resulting mixture.

Stir everything thoroughly and cool. Then it is necessary to add about half a teaspoon of PVA glue to the mixture, mix thoroughly.

Apply the resulting composition with a toothbrush to our pig in such a way that the fabric is dyed and not completely saturated.

Now we need to dry our toy; to do this, we hang it on a wire rack in the oven, turned on on low heat, for a quarter of an hour.
If, after the end of drying, damp spots still remain on the toy, you must turn off the oven and thus dry our workpiece.

Once completely dry, the fabric soaked in the glue coffee solution will become tough and can be easily applied to any fun pattern.

We start painting - first with a simple pencil to outline the details, and then with the help of acrylic paints. After the paints are dry, you can attach a loop or magnet to the coffee toy - then you can hang it on the Christmas tree or on the refrigerator.

It is advisable to avoid getting moisture on the toy. Our wonderful do-it-yourself coffee pig is ready!

We sew a tilde pig

In order to make such a wonderful souvenir, we need a printout of a pattern, cut out and translated into the selected material. Natural plain light fabric, such as linen, cotton, coarse calico, poplin, is best suited as a material for such a toy. You can take materials from old clothes or a new piece of fabric.

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

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

Be sure to leave holes for filling the craft with stuffing and in order to sew on a pig's tail. Next, we need to sew the resulting parts and turn them out. We fill the craft with filler, for example, synthetic winterizer, holofiber, synthetic fluff; You can also put a sachet in your pig.

It is necessary to sew the legs and ears to the body of the pig with the help of a secret seam. We design the muzzle: you can glue the eyes with plastic ones, sew on beads, embroider with threads or paint with paints, nostrils - draw or embroider with floss threads; you can draw a blush on the pig's cheeks, so it will become more elegant.

In order to make the last part of our pig doll - a playful tail - we need to cut out a rectangular piece of fabric that is suitable in size and sew a piece of flexible wire into it.

What is not a reason to get a new handbag, like the coming year? For example, here is such a simple form, consisting (conventionally) of two parts. Conditionally, since there is an inner layer here, etc.

Experimenting with wood and vines

Wood is a soft and warm material that goes very well with a pig theme. Perhaps this is one of the best decisions on what you can make a pig out of.

In the first option, you will need a soldering iron and a product made of plywood or a high-quality wooden surface. Thanks to this, you can burn out any drawing you like.

If you want to create a voluminous souvenir, then the idea below will come in handy. Here, wooden parts and a structure made of vines and small sticks are connected in an intricate way.

Do you want to make your pig not only original, but also useful? Make the structure openable or build it in such a way that you can place a houseplant inside.

Christmas toys with pigs

We will not forget about decorating the Christmas tree either. An interesting and very simple idea is to create a wire frame for a piglet. To do this, you need a photo or drawing of a pig (you can use the photo below) and a thick wire. Bend the pig out of this material, applying a wire to the contour of the drawing and gradually bending the animal.

Begin to bend the piglet from the base of the tail - so your product will look more elegant and harmonious.

Another unusual solution: a Christmas tree toy in the shape of a pig can be cut out of thick plastic. To do this, take a piece of thick plastic (you can take it from the packaging of cakes, etc.) and stained glass paints. After the base is cut, proceed to pouring the souvenir.

To make the boar more voluminous and textured, apply a thick contour layer at the end.

And from polymer clay you can mold a very simple pig.

We use salted dough and clay

In addition to these materials, you can also use plasticine. Especially for you, I have prepared two master classes, in each of which you can easily create a cute little pig.

For the first pig, you will need to cut out several circles from the material used, each of which will later become the basis for some of the parts of the pig. In addition, you will need to roll the body as in the photo and seven more small balls from the circles that you did earlier.

Four legs are attached to the body of the pig from below, and a tiny tail is attached to the back. For a patch, flatten the oval and make two indentations in it with the tip of a brush or a worn-out pencil, mold the eyes from black plasticine (dough, polymer clay). Don't forget the elongated ears.

The second pig is simpler: you need to roll a cone, make four circles with notches, two elongated ears and a patch of two flat rounds. Make a tail from a thin sausage. Create eyes.

Well, that concludes my big pig review. If you want even more ideas, then don't forget to subscribe to my site updates. Good luck with your pig breeding!

DIY papier-mâché symbol of 2019

Everyone can cope with its manufacture, because even a child can glue pieces of paper in shape. The same applies to papier-mâché, that is, PVA gruel and small pieces of paper (for example, napkins or toilet paper).

They begin to make a piggy bank by inflating a balloon. Its size should be the same as the finished toy. It is better to place the gum on top, because you do not need to glue it over. There will then be a hole for coins.

This ball needs to be pasted over with several layers of pieces of newsprint. There should be enough of these layers to make the symbol of the year strong enough. The ball is supposed to be left to dry completely.

Then the blank for the New Year's craft of the symbol of 2019 with your own hands will have to be stuck with papier-mâché. After the body of the pig has completely dried, it is necessary to pull out the ball, which must first burst. If the hole is too large, it is recommended to reduce it with masking tape. On top of it, you will have to lay a little more sticky gruel.

For the legs of the pig craft, dense cylinders are needed. They can be made from a cardboard base from under aluminum foil. Such legs will have to be weighed down with pebbles and attached to the body with masking tape.

Ears, eyes, a tail, a patch are supposed to be molded from papier-mâché, having previously created a shape from suitable pieces of foil.

After the piggy bank is completely dry, it must be treated with putty, and then painted.

This must be done randomly so that the threads intersect, but do not cover the ball tightly. It is recommended to complete this stage at the moment when the ball is almost completely hidden under the threads. Leave the workpiece for a day. This is the time it takes for the glue to dry.

Then you need to burst the ball and remove it from the thread body of the future toy.

At the same time, it is supposed to make similar blanks for the legs of the piglet. Only the ball will be long and narrow, so that you can then cut the tube into four equal parts.
