Depending on the size of the pompom you intend to make, cut out circles from cardboard, make the middle hollow. Attach the resulting rings one to the other and wind light-colored threads on them. The cavity of the circle should be tightly filled with threads. Next, slide the blade in such a way as to get a place between 2 circles of cardboard. Cut through until you reach the cardboard base.

Then slightly push the circles apart and rewind the pompom as tightly as possible with threads, tie it in a knot. After careful movements, remove the circles from the cardboard and do the same manipulations to build a second pompom. Next, make a third smaller pom-pom from dark threads. Leave those threads with which you wound the blanks inside long. And cut the threads according to the diameter of the balls so that they are all the same length.

Glue the pom-pom muzzle inside the pom-pom head. Next, take black thread, cut a few pieces and twist with your fingers to get balls. From them you will make a nose and eyes. Lubricate them completely with PVA glue and let them dry, glue them in the necessary places of the muzzle. With those threads that tied the middle of the pompoms, fasten the body to the head, tie the ends very tightly. To keep the junction stronger, you can coat it with glue.

After that, draw a tongue on a sheet of cardboard, prepare a pattern, transfer it to the fabric and make 2 such elements, sew them and fix them in place of the mouth. Also draw a pupil and an eye on a cardboard sheet, cut it out too, circle them on black and white fabrics, respectively, also make 2 copies each. To decorate the muzzle on white felt, make a speck, cut it out.

We collect the muzzle: we sew a speck to the intended areas, an eye on it, a pupil on top. We perform the same manipulations with the other eye, only there will no longer be a spot here.

On cardboard, make a blank for the ears. Cut out 2 pieces from black felt and 2 from brighter fabrics. Sew together dark and bright felt.

Now we turn to the connection of the back and front components, move the ears to the place of their junction. Do everything so that the dark-colored felt is at the top. Sew the pillow pieces from the inside out. Leave a part through which you can turn the pillow inside out. Turn inside out, use padding polyester for stuffing and sew to the end.

A dog is a devoted friend who can never give and forget his master. However, in order to tame it and gain trust, you need not only to feed it tasty and satisfying, but also give it constant attention, love it with all your heart, and at least occasionally indulge. Like most pets, she is playful, but at the same time she loves the homely atmosphere of comfort and peace. Therefore, when making the symbol of 2018 - the dog, you need to include in the idea not only your imagination and the ideas proposed in today's master class, but also assume the nature of the animal itself. And it doesn’t matter if the dog is playful or calm, playing or sleeping, the most important thing is the effort spent on creating the author’s work and the New Year mood.

The master classes in the photo below will help you make the symbol of 2018 with your own hands, not only for adult women and men, but also for children studying at school or kindergarten. And most importantly, an interesting hobby will unite all the households, feel the magic of the New Year and lure good luck into the house.

The first master class - embroidery on a pillowcase or pillow

To do this, it is enough to choose a small-sized pillow (pillowcase), the room in which the festive decor will be located, decide on the color scheme for future embroidery, and, of course, prepare everything you need.

So, to embroider a dog on a pillow, it is enough to prepare the following tools: a needle, floss threads of different colors, a hoop, scissors (to cut the threads), a hoop and a pencil (the simplest one will do) and a diagram with step-by-step instructions or as it is also called - pattern.

The symbol of the year 2018 can be sewn with your own hands. For manufacturing, you will need to prepare a pattern and soft material.


Craft: Symbol of the year 2018 - DIY dog

To make a Dalmatian, you will need to take:

  • a piece of white fleece;
  • as a filler - synthetic winterizer or cotton wool;
  • scissors with blunt ends (for safety reasons);
  • a few beads or buttons in black;
  • black and white threads;
  • needle;
  • black marker.

The photo shows the dog model in detail. All components must first be transferred to paper and cut out.

Finished cut parts should be attached to the wrong side of the fabric and secured with pins. Each part must be circled with chalk or a marker so that the outlines are a couple of millimeters higher than the parts themselves. The allowance is necessary to maintain the shape of the dog in the future. In the photo, along the edges of the patterns, dashes are visible along which cuts should be made. If you ignore the requirement, the finished toy will deform and the dog, the symbol of the year 2018, will look wrinkled.

First you need to fasten the details of the workpiece by doing a few stitches along the front side.

Now you need to sew the details of the head along the wrong side, do not turn the product over to the front side, and sew the details of the torso along the line of the back from above.

Now the made toy needs to be turned over to the front side and straighten the seams.

The photo shows a tear in the lower abdomen. It is in this hole that the selected filler is pushed. When the toy takes on a voluminous shape, it is required to sew up this “pocket” with a hidden seam.

Now you need to draw a mouth and nose. To do this, a black thread is threaded into the needle and the mouth is embroidered with a looped seam, a nose is made in the form of a triangle with several stitches.

On both sides of the head, you will need to sew eyes - black beads of large sizes.

Separately, you need to sew the details of the ears together, turn them over to the front side and sew the ears to the head of the Dalmatian with a hidden seam. You need to fasten at the top of the head at the same distance from each other. To make the edges of the ears look down, you need to bend them and secure with a hidden stitch.

There was one more detail - a small tail. The pattern needs to be sewn, turned over to the front side, filled with filler and sewn to the body.

The final chord remains - the color of the Dalmatian, because without spots the dog will look like an ordinary mongrel. You need to take a black marker and draw spots of various sizes on them. The spots must be "scattered" throughout the body, making them large and small. The muzzle and hind legs can be left clean.

A cute Dalmatian made by children in kindergarten will be a wonderful gift on New Year's Eve.
