DIY crafts in the shape of roosters will be relevant not only during the holidays in New Year 2017, but also every year at Easter. And without them it is simply impossible to imagine an interior in Provence, country or rustic style. In this material we presented 6 step-by-step master classes, how to make cute crafts in the form of roosters to decorate your home, Christmas tree or holiday table from scrap and even waste materials.

Master class 1. Candy bowl in the shape of a rooster

Looking at this elegant candy dish, it’s hard to imagine that you can make it yourself, and even from... cardboard boxes for eggs. In fact, to make such a handsome man it will not take much time or the skills of an artist-sculptor. By the way, even a child can do most of the work, so this is a great idea for a New Year’s craft for school or kindergarten.

With this candy bowl you can decorate festive table and surprise your guests. However, it can be filled not only with sweets, but also with tangerines, small gifts for competitions, and notes with predictions. You can also put a cockerel under the tree along with a gift.

Materials:

• 7 packages for a dozen eggs;
• Scissors;
• Acrylic paints and brushes;
• Hot glue gun;
• PVA glue (at least 250 g);
• Balloon;
• Old newspapers;
• White paper.

Instructions:

Step 1. Cut out the cones located in the middle of the tray, then cut their sides into feather petals. Each cone should have 4 feathers.

Step 2. Now we need to make blanks for the head and throat of the rooster according to the principle of adding feathers to cones: the head will consist of 5 feathers, the second cone (throat) - of 6 feathers, the third cone - of 8, the fourth - of 10, the fifth - of 12 feathers. And finally, make the sixth piece, but in the form of a fan of 8 feathers, and not in the form of a cone, since this part will cover the beginning of the back. To extend feathers, use tape, gluing it with inside blanks

Step 3. For now, set the cones aside and cut out the beak, comb and wattle of the rooster. The comb just needs to be drawn and cut out. To make a beard, you need to cut a blank from two sidewalls of adjacent tray cells (see photo).

The next two photos show the principle of making the beak of our craft. Please note that the beak consists of two cones, because our rooster must crow!

Step 4. Now we begin to form the figure of the rooster, namely the head and throat. Glue all the cones together, starting with the smallest and ending with the largest, using a hot glue gun. Also glue the beak, beard and comb.

Step 5. Draw and cut out two blanks in the form of wings 15 cm long, then use a glue gun to cover them with feathers... from the same cones.

Step 6. Cut out the feathers for the rooster's tail from the tray lids (you should get 4 feathers from one lid).

Step 7. Let's move on to making a belly-bowl for candy using the papier-mâché technique:

1. Blow up a balloon and cut strips from white office paper and strips from old newspapers.
2. Cover the entire ball tightly with strips soaked in PVA glue (the glue can be diluted slightly with water). The first and last layers must be white. There should be at least 4 layers of paper in total.
3. The next day, when the paper is completely dry, burst the ball and cut the resulting “egg” into two unequal parts (one half should be slightly larger). Then place the small part in the larger one and glue it to make the bowl strong.

Step 8. Attach the rooster's head to the belly using a cardboard backing (from the inside). Hot glue the wings and tail to the rooster's body. Our craft in the shape of a rooster already looks surprisingly realistic!

Step 9. It's time to paint the candy bowl. You can choose the shades of paint to suit your taste, because roosters are different and it is not at all necessary to achieve complete realism. Perhaps your rooster will be beautiful in all-gold plumage? In the same project, shiny paints were used for the legs, beak, comb and beard, and pearlescent paints were used for painting the feathers.

Please note that the color transitions on the cockerel are smooth - from pearl white to gold and then to green.

Step 10: To provide more stability to your candy bowl, glue some kind of square support to the bowl and of course two legs made from 3-leaf cones. Finally, paint the paws, fill the bowl with candy and place your handsome one in a prominent place. Now he is ready to cheer up all the guests at the New Year's or Easter table!

Master class 2. Christmas tree decorations in the form of roosters

In the coming 2017, the Christmas tree must be decorated with decorations in the form of roosters. Do it yourself Christmas tree decorations lighter and best made from felt, because it is so bright, affordable and easy to work with.

And here is a video instruction on how to make crafts in the shape of roosters-hearts with your own hands.

In this video you can see general principle making felt crafts in the form of cockerels.

In addition to the egg with the cockerel, make some more felt pendants and decorate the willow branches with them for Easter

Master class 3. Paper roosters with hanging legs (for children)

Here’s an idea for children’s crafts on the theme of the symbol of 2017, which can be made both for school/kindergarten and for decorating a Christmas tree or walls at home.

Instructions:

Step 1: Download and print the template, then cut out all the pieces.

Step 2. Cut one rope, glue the paws to its ends - these are the legs.

Step 3. Place the legs on the bottom loop, bend it along the dotted line and glue it to the body.

Step 4. Glue the top loop.

Step 5. Well, that's all, now all that remains is to color the cockerels to your taste.

Master class 4. Panel with a silhouette of a rooster in Provence style

The silhouette of a rooster, painted on rough old boards, will be an excellent decoration, rustic or. And a panel with the symbol of 2017 can be excellent New Year's gift. The following selection of photos presents several ideas for such crafts.

Materials:

• Wooden boards of small thickness. In this master class, boards from a pallet (pallet) were used; boards disassembled from a wooden fruit box are also suitable. Whatever boards you choose, fresh or old, you need to clean and dry them before making the craft.
• Saw or jigsaw.
• Small nails.
• Hammer.
• Stain or acrylic paints of the desired color for the background. If you wish, you can use chalk paints, which are sold in finished form or diluted independently (from acrylic paints with the addition of gypsum). With their help, it will be easier to create the effect of an old tree.
• White acrylic or chalk paint to depict the silhouette of a rooster.
• Colorless matte primer for wood (preferably).
• Matte varnish (preferably).
• Brushes.
• Fine grit sandpaper.
• Pencil.
• Paper.
• Stationery or breadboard knife and scissors.
• Wood wax, clear or dark (optional).

Instructions:

Step 1. Estimate how many boards you will need to put together a panel of the desired size.

Step 2. Take measurements and cut the boards to the same length. Also prepare two smaller boards - they will act as crossbars and connect all the other boards.

Step 3: Place the main boards face down, line them up, then lay two smaller boards across them as shown in the photo below. Now nail each board to the cross beams.

Step 4. Clean the surface from dust, then apply primer to the panel in 1-2 layers, allowing each layer to dry. This step is not necessary as we want a rough and antique look to the wood and paint, but a primer is still necessary if you want to extend the life of your painting and make it easier to care for.

Step 5. Now we need to paint the boards, that is, create a background for our rooster. To create the effect of faded paint, in this project water stain was used white and blue color, which was applied unevenly. There is another way of antique painting: paint the boards with acrylic paint in 1 layer, wait for the paint to dry, then wipe the surface with sandpaper in some places or over the entire area.

Step 6. It's time to start making the stencil. If you are making a small panel of approximately A4 size or less, then you can simply print the picture below, having first adjusted its dimensions in any photo editor. Then all you have to do is laminate the paper with transparent tape and cut out the silhouette of the rooster using a stationery or craft knife. Voila, the stencil is ready!

If you want to make a larger panel, for example, A3 format, then the picture will have to be printed in two parts (or more). To do this, upload the rooster silhouette to rasterbator.net, print the resulting PDF file, cut out the parts, then assemble them like a mosaic. Next, you can laminate the stencil with tape or transfer the outlines of the stencil from office paper to thicker or laminated paper (see photo).

As you can see, on this stencil, in addition to the silhouette of a bird, the French word “Le Coq” (translated as “rooster”) is carved out. You can repeat this idea or come up with your own signature, for example, “Bon appétit!”

Step 7. Secure the stencil to your panel using masking tape and begin painting the silhouette with white paint. Once the paint is dry, sand some areas of the design with fine-grit sandpaper to create an antique effect.

Step 8. Hurray! Almost ready, all that remains is to apply a layer of wax to the panel and polish it. Keep in mind that dark wax will give your panel an even more “shabby” look, while clear wax will simply protect it.

This thematic section of the MAAM portal is dedicated to the colorful and proud leader of the chicken family, the “winged alarm clock”.

Olga-15 suggests making funny cockerels out of paper in her master class.

The Rooster blank is a rectangular sheet of flexible paper or thin cardboard, folded in half lengthwise. Its size is 13.5x10 cm. We make 7-10 inclined slits along the fold line (approximately every 1 cm). Their angle of inclination is 50-70 degrees, and their depth is ¾ of the height of the folded sheet.

Ekaterina Ivanova in her video tutorial shows how to make a red rooster using the Origami technique:

Roosters using Quilling technique

A very interesting idea is to lay out only a luxurious rooster tail from quilling paper. It's not as hassle as laying out a whole rooster, and it can turn out very impressive! Here is a rooster without a tail as a basis (see the photo below for how it looked in the original).

Print it on a color printer, and then fantasize about the tail. As an example, here is one such work (although the tail here is modest, but you will try, right?))

You can also buy knitted cockerels from Svetlana.

Felt roosters

The fastest and not complex options creation of the symbol of 2017 - felt roosters. The material is easy to process, holds the shape of the toy well, and does not require processing of seams. Vice versa, hand stitches the products give it a special flavor and charm.

Craft for children: paper cockerel. Five master classes for children of preschool and primary school age with step by step photos and creative tasks.

Craft for children: paper cockerel

In this article you will find five options for making crafts - a cockerel with children of preschool and primary school age.

Master class 1. Craft - cockerel based on a cone

In the first master class, the children and I will make a toy - a cockerel - very simply and quickly. The finished craft can be either a toy for the Christmas tree, or a toy for dramatizing a fairy tale, or just a gift - a souvenir. Even kids can do it together with adults.

Tools and materials for making paper cockerel

To work you need to prepare:

• yellow and red colored paper,
• multi-colored strips of paper for quilling (you can use ready set or cut them yourself from colored paper),
• glue - pencil,
• black felt-tip pen,
• scissors,
• pattern - circle.

Step-by-step description of making crafts

The base of the cockerel should be made from half a circle. Any round shape, which can be traced onto paper: a tea cup, a lid or any jar. Decide for yourself the size of the toy.

Step 1. To make the blank, draw a circle of the size you need on paper (I used the lid from a jar of hand cream as a circle template). Cut out a circle and cut it in half.

Step 2. Twist a cone from half a circle and glue it together.

Step 3. Cut out from red paper:

• two parts for a cockerel comb,
• detail of the rooster's beard in the shape of an inverted heart (you need to cut out half of the detail along the fold),
• part for the beak (we also cut out half of the part along the fold in the shape of an equilateral triangle; when you unfold it, you get the shape of a rhombus).

By the way, we drew these details by hand, by eye.

Step 4. Lubricate the upper part of the cockerel comb parts with glue halfway and glue them together. Then bend the bottom part of the part and coat it with glue.

Step 5. Glue the parts onto the craft.

• Glue the resulting scallop blank onto the cone.
• Glue the beak and beard parts onto the cone.

Step 6. Make a rooster's tail from strips of paper and wings. To do this:

— Cut multi-colored strips of paper 10 cm long, fold them in half and glue 3-4 together different colors. These are the tail parts

— Wings can be made in a similar way, only smaller in size. Or you can simply glue short strips together and slightly twist the edges, giving them a concave shape.

Step 7. Finish the design of the craft.

— Glue the resulting blanks to the cone in the area of ​​the tail and wings of the cockerel.

- Draw the rooster's eye with a black felt-tip pen.

The cockerel is ready. If you want to hang a craft, all you have to do is thread a thread through the comb, make a loop and hang the toy on the Christmas tree.

Creative tasks for children

It is very important that a child, having mastered making crafts based on a cone, learns to come up with his own versions of similar crafts according to his own plans, changing the details.

Think and discuss with your children:

• What animals can be depicted using a cone?
• Which Christmas decorations can it be made based on a cone?
• Try to make yourself, based on the cone, toys of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden or others that your child wants to invent and make.

In the second master class we will learn how to make a cockerel together with the children, which will be a wonderful gift. It can serve as both a toy and a bookmark. Children of senior preschool and primary school age can make such a cockerel together with adults.

We will not just make crafts, but also try ourselves as a designer! So let's begin.

Tools and materials for making a cockerel

To work you will need:

• double-sided colored paper,
• any glue,
• black gouache and brush,
• scissors.

How to make a cockerel: step-by-step description

Let's imagine a little and test ourselves in the role of a designer in making a craft - a cockerel made of paper.

Step 1

First, let's work with the template. We need to cut out such a pentagonal blank from paper of any color according to the template (see photo below).

Step 2

Like any designer, you and I must be able to use the tool. Our tool will be a ruler.

— Apply a ruler so that the angles align along it: the top of the pentagon and the right corner at the base.

— Pressing the ruler tightly against the workpiece, lift its right corner up.

This is how it should turn out (see photo below).

Step 3.

Fold the left corner of the pentagon up in the same way.

Step 4. Cut out and glue the details of the craft.

- The beak, legs and comb of the cockerel can be made according to the template. But the children and I decided to express ourselves each in our own way and cut out these details without a template, but independently, whoever could and whoever came up with it.

— And the beard can be made in the shape of a heart and glued by turning it upside down.

— Glue the folded edges of the cockerel body blank together. Glue the comb and paws to the workpiece.

— Downside brushes, using gouache, put 2 dots - the eyes of the rooster.

And already the image of the cockerel appears!

Step 5.

— Glue the beak (it is made in the shape of a diamond or can be flat, triangular in shape).

- Glue on the beard.

And now the mischievous cockerel is ready!

Step 6.

If you want to hang a craft, you need to thread the thread through the comb.

You can also make a bookmark from this craft. To do this, you need to cut out a strip of paper and stick the resulting toy - a cockerel - on it. Daryana and Vika wanted to make bookmarks. This is what happened with the children.

Creative task for children

— What other image can you come up with using the pentagon template as a basis?

— Try to make a toy based on the model and come up with a new image yourself.

Good luck in your creativity!
