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

Good day, Dear friends! 2018 New Year is coming very soon. This means that it is time to prepare with might and main 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 a wide variety of breeds and from a wide variety of materials.

This post is so detailed that I would 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 will try not to lose my face and collect as much as possible more ideas... There will be warm and soft toys, pillows, crafts, even elements of home comfort.

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

To make your own 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 sensible.

By the way, the dog can be presented 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 make such a surprise.

Dog costume

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

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 costume for the New Year for a child and not only?

Look at the girl: she is wearing a fluffy tutu skirt, which is complemented by an openwork top, striped tights and a rim with textile ears. Two cute ponytails will help complete the look. A small nose is drawn on the nose.

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

For a boy, you can adapt a fluffy suit from pajamas (for example, a Japanese kigurumi) or sew it like her own. For such an outfit, only approximate body parameters (the height of the child and the waist circumference) are useful, so even an inexperienced seamstress can cope with the creation.

Do you want to do it easier? Make a cap with ears as described below. Use fur, fleece, or velor for her. Velsoft is also suitable if you can handle it (it stretches quite hard).

Other options for caps can be seen in the following pictures. For example, such a hat can be a good alternative to the previous version. For her you need a fleece with a long pile.

In the future, a similar hat can be worn on the street as the main headdress. At the same time, it will be enough to choose a T-shirt and pants (skirt) in the color of the dog for such a hat. The image will be almost complete.

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

What about a flirty dog ​​hat? Pick a cartoon character and add a catchy addition to your look.

Progress:

1. Cut out a circle base from thick cardboard.
2. Cut out a circle of fabric one and a half to two times larger in diameter than the base, pull it off with a needle-forward seam along the edge. Put a solid foundation inside.
3. Make the top of the cylinder using a similar principle.
4. Side: Cut a long strip of heavy cardboard and cover it with fabric so that the edges do not stick out. Join at the back with a blind seam.
5. Sew or glue the top of the cap to the sidewall so that the side fits snugly against the top and forms a cylinder. Attach the structure to the bottom base and decorate the hat.

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

You can also sew the ears on the bezel, for this you need the bezel itself and ear patterns. The first option is more complicated, it means that the inner part will be slightly smaller than the outer one. For creation, it is best to use fur or fleece.

But the ears are simpler.

To look believable, use regular gloves of the color you want and some felt. Cut out the details of the future legs from felt and attach them with a thin layer of glue or thread. Such gloves can be made in just 10-20 minutes!

Crafts from scrap materials and not only

We got a suit, but what about crafts with the Earthen Yellow Dog? We will make them the most different ways... Paper postcards 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 postcards and original origami from cardboard and paper. How do you, for example, this cartoon doggie? It can be printed and traced to create your own original postcard... Congratulations can be written both on the card itself, or attached inside the text part in a separate layer.

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

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

The next doggie can be used as a bookmark for books, which will certainly come in handy on the farm. Make it out of a regular square of paper.

From these paper dogs, you can create a Christmas tree garland that will remind you of the symbol of the year.

But in the following way you can fold napkins on festive table... This shape is quite stable, but at the same time it does not take much time to assemble. It will be especially appreciated by lovers of Scotch Terriers.

The last in this series is very cute and inventive dogs: it is made of a matchbox, and a heartfelt message is left inside. A series of such boxes will make all your family and friends happier. If you cover the boxes with a special varnish for paper, then even snow and rain will not be terrible for such a gift (although it is still not worth washing it).

Wooden Dogs

Warm material, which is the best fit for meeting the upcoming New Year. Make a housekeeper or some sort of dog hanger out of plywood. Woodworking skills, dog carving templates and acrylic paints with a specialized varnish for wood will come in handy.

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

And here is a completely childish way to prepare for the holiday: a dog with movable legs, which can be made of cardboard or plywood.

Christmas toys

In fact, you can hang almost anything on the tree. For example, I decorate a green tree with small soft toys- purchased and made by herself. Try to sew the dogs you see below. They can literally be reduced to a photo and get ready-made patterns.

A great way to surprise your friends and family will be to paint the balls on the Christmas tree with your own hand. To do this, buy solid 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, according to the presented microns, you can do both). But it 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, we will take into account this important factor and blind a few cute dogs.

The manufacture of such figures is generally the same type, but has some differences. If you are good at sculpting, then you can immediately start with something like the dog below.

If you still consider yourself a beginner, then start with simpler forms that 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 his brother. Thanks to its simplest form, even very young children will be able to do it.

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

A souvenir can be both close to real-life dogs and have the appearance of a cartoon character (in the second case, it may turn out to be even more interesting).

How to sew a doggie from fabric: patterns for sympathies

Stitched dogs will be popular not only on the eve of new year holidays, but also later.

Stuffed Toys

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

You will surely love the avant-garde characters with patterns that you can see below. They have very large heads and small bodies, making these dogs look childishly awkward and naive. The effect is achieved with 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.

In our selection there is even a place for designer toy dolls with designer patterns. Just look at this adorable Basset! The author (Alisa Shangina) even came up with a description for him: "The world is beautiful, like a basset." The dog's nose is felted from dry wool, but you can cut it out separately, highlighting the corresponding part on the pattern of the muzzle.

If you do not like the Dolmatians, then you will definitely like the next idea of ​​a New Year's surprise. Patterns are enough high level, but the result is simply gorgeous. Stock up on white fleece, white and black thread and eye beads. Don't forget the black marker.

Sew a dog like that better hands, since you just have to be a virtuoso of a sewing machine in order to well grind the details of such a dog.

A tilde dog can be made according to the following patterns. For her, take a thin cotton cloth. Character dress will fit, pants - whatever you want.

You can make a square-headed dog 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 out of them.

Putting on socks

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

Both variants new year dogs is sewn according to the same principle, but the result is completely different. The first doggie is very bright and cheerful, while the second is restrained and laconic, it can be presented even to a serious man.

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

We create from felt

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

The Scottish 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 difficult than the previous options.

How can one get past this charming boule? Try to do it too.

Chihuahua fridge magnet can also be made from felt. You won't need threads here - just stock up on transparent glue and scissors.

Pillows with dogs

Decorative pillows can not only lie on sofas. This dachshund, for example, supports the door and protects against drafts. You can sew it according to the indicated patterns by increasing the animal to the desired size and stretching it in the center. The body can also be made from many shreds.

Two girlfriends dachshunds are well suited for daytime rest, and at the same time as a hug toy for a child.

Want more ideas? There are more than enough of them on the next selection! Sewing them is easy and quick, but each one can be presented for the New Year and not only. Use them in your 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 key chains, then you can make a set of potholders for them. Decorate them as your fantasy tells you.

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

Wool dogs

They can be felted out of dry wool, and attached or sewn on the back for a brooch or magnet.

Threads and pompons

From thread pom-poms, very believable dogs are obtained. To create pompons, you will need special devices or two circles of very thick cardboard, on which threads will be wound. After winding in several layers, cut the threads along the outer edge and thread the other thread through the rings, tightening properly to make a knot.

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

Experiments with coffee beans

You can also make funny little dogs 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. So you can take your child and make a beautiful festive panel.

Bottle dogs

Often in schools and kindergartens, crafts from recycled materials are required. Bottles will come in handy here. Beyond the basics of plastic bottles you can make wool and other decorative elements. Inside the bottle, you can put multi-colored glass balls or something similar to make the look more festive.

Roll up the towel

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

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 one for last) Just look at this awesome dog-shaped lamp that you can create yourself. This masterpiece will be a worthy gift for your family.

Knitted and crocheted dogs: video mk

Since knitting is not such a quick and easy 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 members have Small child then it will be a great gift.

But the next three dogs are knitted with the help of many beloved crochet hooks. It turns out completely different and dissimilar doggies, each of which claims to be an author's toy (which costs a lot of money in stores). Thanks to the detailed mk, you will learn how to make exactly the same dogs.

The first one is made of fluffy yarn, which makes the dogs very soft. The rest are made of ordinary threads, but they 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 him, you can create very cute creatures.

Finally, I suggest you make such a square dog. Here presented detailed description the creation process along with the 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 visit them more often. I would be glad to see you here and in other articles of my blog. See you soon!

Best regards, Anastasia Skoreeva

Completely imperceptibly, but firmly, the Eastern New Year with its attributes entered our life, and today our theme is crafts for the New Year of the dog 2018... It would seem that summer is not over yet, but autumn is already hinting about its arrival. And the best thing to do in rainy autumn days and in the evenings there will be a leisurely and thoughtful preparation of New Year's crafts. But just before the holidays, when there are already enough things to do, you will not rush headlong in search of gifts for relatives and friends, because they have been prepared for a long time, taking into account the character and tastes of the person to whom they are intended. And how much pleasure will you get at first when making them, especially if the symbol itself is dear to your heart, or even a member of the family, and then when presented.

Crafts for the New Year of the dog: master class

Let's start with this, we will please the pet, which is a symbol of the coming year of the Dog. Not everyone is good at sewing or knitting, so consider the simplest that even a novice seamstress can do: quality crafts for the New Year of the dog we will sew a soft cozy place for a small dog to rest. It will be great for a close friend and her pet. All we need: thick fabric (best of all, a cotton / polyester blend), holofiber or similar filler, threads and a sewing machine. You will need a measure of the length of the dog, stretched out to its full height, as in the picture. You can add a few centimeters to it for freedom.

Choose the cross measurement to your taste: you can make the bench square, or you can make the width ¾ or 2/3 of the length. Accordingly, the size of the strip for cutting out vertical walls: 2 lengths + 2 widths. Don't forget about seam allowances. We choose the height of the side so that the lying animal is half covered by it or to the height of the body, but do not make the side too high. In the middle of the front part, we make a notch so that it is more convenient for the animal to climb inside.

We cut out a long side (and if the length is not enough, you can sew several pieces) and cut it off from the inside along the length, like a sleeve, leaving the ends not sewn up. After that, gradually turn it over the face, noting the length of the piece. It is more convenient for filling not to turn the entire side out at once. We fill the first piece with filler, pin the very beginning with pins so that the holofiber does not fall out, and along the border of the piece we lay a transverse line, then we successively fill the second and all subsequent pieces, each time laying a transverse line along the border of the piece.

For the last seam, tuck the edges inward on each side by a centimeter or a little more. Allowance for stitching must be provided when cutting. Then we fold the edges with a turn facing each other and lay a line, stepping back from the edge a couple of millimeters. The side is ready. The bottom of thick fabric We sew it by hand, as in the picture, bending the edges of the material. It makes sense to first prick with tailor's pins so that the fabric does not move.

It remains to sew a pillowcase and fill it with filler. To do this, we cut out a rectangle according to the double size of the pillow, bend it in half and lay a line, leaving a small piece not sewn up so that the pillowcase can be turned out. We sew it manually with a blind seam on an already filled pillow. If necessary, holofiber will allow you to wash the product in washing machine, especially if it has a drying function. But even without this, the product will dry quite quickly if you take a dense but thin mixed fabric for the cover. Hope making crafts for the New Year of the dog step by step the above will be easy for you. After such a gift, the Dog will definitely be supportive to you.

Crafts for the New 2018 of the dog

Small dogs, especially smooth-haired breeds, in our climate need clothing for the winter. On specialized forums you can find both patterns and tips for sewing or knitting, but we will consider here simplest option sewing such clothes from a disused sweater. It's good if it is woolen and a little matted. All you need is a measure of the length of the product and the circumference of the pet's body, as well as the distance between the front legs.

If the jersey is a little felted, you can cut it without fear that it will begin to bloom. Cut off the sleeve, as shown in the photo, mark the location of the holes for the paws, if necessary, shorten the product to the desired measurement, and clothes for the fall for your pet are ready. Hand stitch or machine zigzag the edges of the foot holes so they don't stretch too much. Fold and hem the bottom of the product. If you wish, you can also decorate it to your taste.

Interesting crafts for the New Year of the dog

Not everyone has pets, but anyone will be pleased to receive an image of the New Year's symbol as a gift. And not only children will be happy with the toy. Cute coffee dogs, the so-called primitives, will be appropriate not only at home, but also at the workplace in the office. A smiling face with a pleasant scent will help relieve stress and fatigue. Let's do these original crafts for the new year of the dog... We need:

• dense cotton fabric(100% cotton - it is important that there is no smell of synthetics and the color lays down evenly), you can take unbleached or bleached calico;
• sewing machine, thread, tailor's pins;
• filler (holofiber or synthetic fluff);
• instant or natural coffee for coloring toys;
• flavors of your choice: cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, nutmeg, etc.);
• acrylic paints, felt-tip pens, pencils for decoration;
• PVA glue;
• pattern.

Let's start with a pattern. The choice here is very large, you can use the proposed patterns or draw your own if you have artistic abilities. Alternatively: find something else on the Internet. Choose the size of the dog to your taste. To do this, the pattern can be changed using a scale, tracing paper or thin paper can be attached to the screen and redrawn. But it seems to me that a small toy would be more appropriate, because it will easily find a place for it. The simpler the pattern, the easier it will be for you to cope with sewing and filling the craft.

Now let's start making crafts for the New Year of the dog, master class will help you with this. Cut out the paper pattern and transfer it to the fabric. We are going to need two identical pieces, so just fold the piece of fabric in half. Since the outline is with curved lines, it is better to use it for cutting with scissors with a jagged edge. If you don't have such, make your own teeth when cutting, a little short of the outline. We chop off the details and stitch them, leaving a piece that is not sewn up so that you can turn the toy out.

We fill the dog with filler, using a pencil, knitting needle or other improvised means, so that the packing is dense and without voids. We sew up the hole by hand with a blind seam, and you can start painting. Do not forget to make a loop at the top of the toy. For a temporary one, any strong thread is suitable, and we make a permanent one more smart and neat.

First you need to coat the toy with the coffee solution. Both soluble and natural will do, the main thing is to make it strong enough so that the color comes out saturated. Too strong is also not very good, because a dark toy is more difficult to paint. Let's also take into account that the year we have the Yellow Dog, so the medium beige is the best. For example, about 2 teaspoons in a quarter glass of water + a bag of vanillin, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, cardamom, or other suitable flavoring. We introduce aromas during cooking. Strain the solution so that no grains fall, and cool, then add 1-3 teaspoons of glue. Its amount depends on what concentration it is. You will need less thick construction glue, and a little more liquid stationery.

You can apply the solution with a brush or swab, the main thing is that there is no colorlessness, but the filler does not get wet. Now we hang the craft by the loop for drying. The toy can be dried in the oven by hanging it from the wire rack using a sushi stick or just a spoon. To do this, pull the loop from bottom to top through the grate and pass a stick or spoon through it. The temperature should be the same as when drying apples, not too high, and the door ajar. After all, there is a synthetic filler inside. You can also use a hairdryer, and if nothing rushes you, just let it hang dry at room temperature.

The most crucial stage is coloring. If you are not confident in your abilities, practice on a paper image. We need to draw a muzzle with eyes, mouth and nose. Everything else - as your imagination tells you. It is appropriate to write a wish on the toy. First, we draw a contour with a pencil. Then we outline it with a gel pen or waterproof marker, and then fill the outline with undiluted acrylic paints. Let the toy dry well, and our work is finished. So that the gift does not get dusty, retains the aroma and warmth of your soul, we will put it in a plastic bag and put it in a box in anticipation of the holiday.

Original crafts for the New Year of the dog

For a small child, a felt or fabric toy will be more appropriate. Fleece or faux fur is also suitable, but you will need to choose a model for the material, since the principles of sewing for fabric and felt are different. The dog can be as small, which can be hung as a keychain to a knapsack or purse, or as large as a sofa cushion. Let's see which interesting crafts for the New Year of the dog can be made by hand.

For sewing volumetric toys you will need a sewing machine as well as some sewing skills. The pattern can be enlarged using the scale to the size you need and transferred to paper from the monitor. Next, cut out each piece, pin the pattern onto the fabric, taking into account the seam allowances, and then cut out all the pieces. It remains to sew them sequentially, leaving a hole for the filler in an inconspicuous place. After filling the toy, sew the hole with a blind stitch.

If the child does not have allergies, flavorings can be added to the filler. If you don't have faux fur or fleece, it doesn't matter. Any dense material will do, even if it has a pattern. A flower, check or striped dog looks cute and funny.

For an adult, such a small dog can serve as a pincushion or a keychain. Only if you are sewing a keychain, when connecting the parts, insert a loop of fabric into the seam on the back so that a metal ring and a chain can be attached to the keychain. Simple pattern from two parts can be used to make a brooch.

In this case, very little filler is needed, just to give a light volume, and it is better to take a fluffed synthetic winterizer or synthetic winterizer, and not holofiber. On one side, we sew a clasp, which can be purchased at a craft store. Such a brooch can be used to decorate an adult's or a child's clothes, as well as attach it to a bag.

And we have prepared especially for you so that you have no doubts about how to choose the right present for your friends and family.

If you are fond of scrapbooking, you can make beautiful crafts for the new year of the dog using the silhouettes of the different breeds shown here. Even if the base is similar, the silhouette will make the craft individual. The same silhouettes, when increased to the desired size, can be used for appliqué on fabric, if, for example, you want to make sofa cushions. You can attach the silut to the pillowcase using double-sided glue cloth or thinned egg white and iron it.

Then overcast the applique by hand or sewing machine zigzag stitch. And there are a lot of options for needlewomen, depending on what you are fond of. The dog can be made by felting, knitting amigurumi, embroidered or origami made from paper. Even cylinders from toilet paper and papier-mâché. And if you have the makings of a sculptor - plastic or clay will help you.

And now about making crafts for the New 2018 of the dog from felt. The edges of felt parts do not crumble, unlike those made from fabric, but still, if the felt is thin and soft enough, the body of the craft can be sewn with seams inward and turned out, just like we did with fabric products.

If your felt is dense enough, and even a decent thickness, we sew the details along front side... You can make a regular stitch, slightly stepping back from the edge, you can sew with a zigzag stitch, or you can manually sew with a buttonhole stitch. At the same time, the seam is not hidden, and it can even be emphasized with a contrasting thread. can be varied and original.
