Paper plate pig

For example, you can turn a disposable paper plate into a cute pink or yellow pig. Just cover it with paint in the desired color, stick on a funny face, ears, paws and a tail with a crochet hook - and the pig is ready! You can give this craft a more formal look by using ready-made toy eyes.

“The version with a pig made from paper plates is perfect for the littlest creators!”

And it will be even more interesting if you make the pig not smooth, but soft and fluffy! What is needed for this? Still the same paper plate and cotton balls. We glue them onto the surface of the plate and cover them with pink paint.

Coloring cotton balls

Let's dry it. We make a twisted tail for the pig from fluffy wire.

Papier-mâché pig

Symbol of the year 2021 - you can make a pig craft not only from threads, but also from paper. Many people know the method of making crafts - papier-mâché.

For the shape here we will also use a ball, but if you wish, you can find any other object. So here's what we need:

Old newspapers or toilet paper (you can use napkins).
Acrylic putty.
Balloon.
Food foil.
PVA glue.
Any paint for painting.
Food film sleeve.

First, prepare the paper by tearing it into strips. Dip it completely in glue and cover the inflated ball in a chaotic manner. We wait until the layer dries completely and proceed to the next stage.

You need to make a kind of paste from paper and glue. Apply this mixture to the already dried surface of the ball. We also completely dry the product and at the end of this process you can pierce the ball and cut off its tail.

Symbol of 2021 paper pig

You can make a pig in the form of a stand. All you need for this is a couple of old wooden clothespins. We glue the piglet itself from cardboard, make the tail from the same chenille wire, but the legs are made from clothespins, which must first be painted with pink paint. It turns out simple and cute! If desired, you can place congratulations and wishes for loved ones on this stand.

Pig made from paper and paper clips

You can make a three-dimensional symbol of 2021 with your own hands from paper strips. We turn them into a ball body, and glue a paper head on top. Don't forget about the fluffy tail!

Making a New Year's card in the shape of a pig

This New Year's applique can be made together with children, as a craft for kindergarten (or school).

To make such a craft, prepare:

Colored paper: blue, yellow, dark brown and pink;
Thick cardboard;
Glue;
Markers;
Prepared plastic eyes.

First we make the main background. To do this, cut out a rectangular piece from a blue sheet of colored paper. Then, using PVA glue, we glue the resulting element to the top of a thick sheet of cardboard. Next, from the yellow sheet, we also cut out a rectangle, but we cut off one edge like a wave. The part should be attached so that the resulting wavy figure overlaps the blue background.

DIY postcard background

We take a pink sheet of paper, and on the back side we draw the figures of piglets (2 heads and 2 torsos). We cut out the resulting parts along the drawn contour. We make legs from 8 shapes of identical rectangles. The ears can be made triangular, rounded on one side. We make the piglets from darker colors of paper, in the shape of a small circle.

Making postcard details

We place the cut out elements on the background and carefully glue them to the base. Afterwards, we glue the eyes, or simply draw with a thin felt-tip pen.

Glue the card elements to the base

We apply the finishing touches to the finished craft, drawing the bangs, eyebrows, smiles, hooves and tails. Well, we decorate the general background by drawing a beautiful green lawn. Your New Year's card is ready!

Pig made from wool using dry felting technique

Preparing for one of the most beloved holidays is not a reason to learn a new craft and master previously inaccessible skills. The technique of dry felting is complex only at first glance. To create a beautiful figurine, you don’t need any special knowledge; it’s enough to have all the necessary tools on hand and follow the instructions. To felt a pig you need:

pink felting wool;
needle No. 36 and 38;
reverse needle;
foam sponge;
scissors;
a piece of wire up to 5 cm long;
glue.

A plump barrel is formed from the wool, felted, and after the process is completed, it is divided into parts, highlighting the body, head and eye sockets. A small piece is torn off from the remaining wool, placed on the surface of the sponge and felted into a strip. The finished strip is folded in half and formed into a semicircle. The resulting felted piece is applied to the pig's stigma in the mouth area and felted until it takes the shape of a mouth with neat little mouths and cubes.

A patch is made from wool rolled into a ball. The ears are rolled on a sponge from both sides, having previously rolled two identical triangles out of wool. The legs and other parts are laid using the same pattern. To create a realistic curled ponytail, use a wire frame. A small piece of wire is dipped in glue, wrapped in wool, then placed under running water, soaped and felted using the wet felting technique. The radiator-dried tail is attached to the piglet using glue.

To fluff up the pig, use a reverse needle. The finished pig is treated with a needle, after which the loose hair is trimmed short.

Slots are made in the eye sockets and a bead is inserted into each of them, which will serve as eyes. This DIY gift is ready to be used as interior decoration.

Soft pompom toy

The symbol of 2021 can be made with your own hands from a variety of available materials, including pompoms. The needlewoman will need:

a piece of pink felt;
light pink yarn;
glue gun;
cardboard;
black felt-tip pen;
scissors;
felt for making eyes.

2 rings are cut out of cardboard, woolen threads are wrapped around them and this winding is tied in the middle with a thin ribbon or regular thread. The resulting loops on both sides are cut, the pompom is fluffed and trimmed so that it takes the shape of an oval or circle. The tape or connecting thread should not be visible.

The piggy can be made from one or two pompoms. In the latter case, pompoms of different sizes are taken. Smaller for the head, larger for the body. The pompoms are glued together. A couple of triangles for the ears and a small circle for the snout are cut out of pink felt. Nostrils are drawn on the patch with a black felt-tip pen. The triangles are sewn at the base and glued to the pig's head. The same manipulation is done with the snout and eyes, which can be cut out of felt or bought ready-made plastic ones.

Piglet hooves can also be made from felt or small pompoms. If you don’t have a glue gun at hand, all the components of the pig are simply sewn together. This pompom soft toy is so easy to make that you don't need any pattern. It can be made from either two or one pompom.

Pigs made from homemade pompoms and felt

You can make your own pompoms from pink yarn. It's not difficult at all, it just takes a little practice. Cut out two identical circles from cardboard with holes inside. We make an incision on one side.

Cutting circles with notches

Place two circles together and begin wrapping with yarn.

Wrap circles with yarn

When the entire circle is wrapped in yarn, insert a thread into the holes on both sides, trying to secure it between the leaves of cardboard. Using nail scissors (driving them between the cardboard circles) we cut the threads. We gradually move the thread that we inserted between the circles behind the scissors.

Cutting the strings

When all the threads in the circle are cut, we tighten the thread that we led between the circles. We should now have a pompom.

Pompom made of strings

Glue pink ears, legs and felt arms to the pompom.

Balloon "Pig"

I made this craft for an exhibition at school. Its total height from the bottom of the basket to the top node is 1 meter.

To make a balloon you need:

For the basket: Box (form for weaving a basket) 17 cm x 22 cm Newspapers Knitting needle Clothespins Boxed cardboard Brown gouache Brush Hairspray PVA glue

For bags: Viscose napkins Thin satin ribbon

For the ball: Pink flannel 0.75 m x 1 m Self-adhesive felt white, blue, pink, red Knitting threads Stroke Marker black Nylon thread Cover for the burner Viscose napkins red and yellow Filler

Also needed: Ruler Simple pencil Scissors Threads Needle Awl 4 buttons

Cut a large sheet of newspaper into 3 identical rectangles. Place the knitting needle on the corner of the rectangle at an angle of approximately 45*. Wind the newspaper onto a knitting needle and glue the corner of the newspaper with glue. Make 28 tubes for weaving and 12 tubes for stands. Connect the tubes for weaving 2 at a time to make 14 large tubes. Cut the tubes for the stands in half to make 24 identical stands. Flatten all the tubes with your fingers, this will make it easier to weave.

First make the bottom of the basket. Cut 2 rectangles from cardboard 17 cm x 22 cm (the size of the bottom of the weaving mold). Cover the rectangles with newspapers on one side only, with the newspaper folded over the ends. Let the glue dry. After the glue has dried, glue the short tubes onto one rectangle. First, stick 4 tubes on the corners, and then at approximately equal distances from each other, 6 pieces on the large side and 4 pieces on the small side.

Glue the second rectangle on top and put everything under a press until completely dry.

When the bottom is dry, place the box on the cardboard rectangle, lift all the tubes up and attach them to the box with clothespins. Start weaving the basket in a checkerboard pattern, weaving 13 rows (height 15 cm).

Each row of weaving begins separately. At the end of the row, cut off the excess ends of the tubes and glue them together with glue so that the joint is not visible (hide the end of the tube with scissors under the stand). When the last row is done, release the racks from the clothespins and remove the box. Shorten the ends of the posts and tuck them between the rows. Fill the outer racks by bending them over the row on the inside, and the inner racks on the outside. Glue the last long tube around the bottom of the basket. Coat the entire basket with PVA glue and let the glue dry. Paint the basket outside and inside with gouache. When the paint dries, apply hairspray.

Sew 4 bags of 8 cm x 10 cm from viscose napkins, put filling in them and tie them to the basket with satin ribbons. The basket is ready.

For the ball, make a wedge pattern, the length of the wedge is 39 cm, the width in the middle is 15 cm. If you step back from the middle 10 cm, then the width in this place will be 11 cm.

Draw 6 wedges on the fabric with a simple pencil, add about 1 cm, cut out the wedges. First, sew 2 wedges on a machine, make small tacks at the beginning and end of the stitching. Also sew another wedge along the pencil line. Three wedges made one half of a ball. Sew the other half in the same way. For the ears, make a pattern and cut out 4 pieces from fabric with seam allowances. Sew the ears. Turn the ears out and smooth out the seams with your fingers. Sew the ball parts together and sew on the ears at the same time. Leave space at the bottom for turning and stuffing. Make fastenings at the beginning and end of each seam to prevent the seams from unraveling. Turn the ball out and fill it with filling until it takes the desired shape. Sew the unsewn distance manually.

Using a template, cut out a patch and eyes from felt.

The blue part of the eye is approximately 1 cm shorter in length than the white part. Cut the tongue from felt in the form of a droplet. Glue all the parts onto the ball. Draw the pupils with a stroke, nostrils and eyelashes with a marker. Make bangs from knitting threads and sew them on. The result is a pig's head ball.

The ends of the threads are tied into knots, and the knots are sewn to the ball by hand. Photo 10 Cut 4 nylon threads 2 m 50 cm long, fold them in half and tie them at the corners of the basket. Tie knots on threads at a height of 45 cm from the basket. Sew knots to the ball and close these places with buttons. Step back another 40 cm from the knots and make a common knot, cutting off the excess threads.
