- Make the animals' tails from a piece of straightened paper clip: wrap it tightly with twine, coating it with glue. Poke a hole in the body, insert the tail and secure it with glue. Or braid a pigtail out of twine, coat it with glue and dry it in the desired position, then glue it to the body. Wrap the paws tightly in two layers with twine. Start wrapping from the bottom of the first paw, then glue the twine along the animal’s belly to the second paw, go down it, go up again to the belly and go down the first paw in the same way. Treat the second pair of limbs in the same way.
Wrap the body, lubricating it with glue from a gun or Dragon.
- Cut a teardrop-shaped blank for the head from a piece of polystyrene foam or dense foam. Sand it with sandpaper, wrap it with tape and then with twine.
- This is what the head blanks look like. Create a nose for your dachshund by wrapping several layers of twine around the tip of a toothpick.
- Draw the outline of the ear on paper and place the piece of paper in a file. Place a little glue in the center of the template and dip the tip of the twine into it. Using a toothpick, make curls that fit tightly together until you fill the entire space of the drawn blank. Make the second ear in the same way. Let them dry completely.
- Glue the blank ears and noses to the heads of the animals.
- Using a piece of paper clip, connect the head to the body. Apply glue to the paperclip and wrap it with twine, repeat the procedure again for strength.
- Decorate the animals' faces as desired: draw or glue eyes, eyelashes, mouths.
- Another idea to add to your collection is to make a figurine of a dachshund with leather ears.
Such cute crafts will not only be heartwarming New Year's gift, but also the highlight of your interior.
Felt magnet
A small souvenir made with love is an excellent gift for loved ones for any occasion. In this master class you will learn how to make a felt dog magnet with your own hands.
For work you will need the following materials:
- magnet of any shape;
- quick-drying glue;
- felt in two contrasting colors;
- glue for felt (it is optimal to use “Moment Crystal” or transparent “Contact”);
- black threads of medium thickness;
- 3 black beads for the nose and eyes;
- thick cardboard for the frame.
Prepare tools for work:
- scalpel or cutter;
- scissors with a sharp blade;
- simple pencil;
- dry soap or chalk for contours;

Select a drawing of a dog of the desired breed or use the suggested option. Print the image the right size on a printer or draw the outlines by hand in duplicate. Cut one drawing into patterns.
Transfer the outline of the dog onto black felt. Cut out 2 identical pieces.
Carefully glue the white elements onto the black part.
If you are not chasing maximum realism of the finished craft, just sew on the nose and eyes, and embroider the muzzle with threads.
If you are not looking for easy ways, use chalk to mark the desired location of the eyes and make small cuts in these places with a scalpel.
So, according to the eastern calendar, next year will be marked by a Yellow Earth Dog. In many schools and kindergartens, during labor lessons, children are given the task of making a craft on a given topic. In this article we have collected the most interesting and fascinating crafts. Let's get started.
Making themed crafts for 2018
Craft ideas for kindergarten and school.
A dog craft for children is something that will be of interest to many. Most likely, children's institutions have already begun to prepare for the arrival of 2018, which has not yet arrived. Simple but bright crafts are more suitable for kindergarten, because young children cannot sit in one place for a long time and be focused. Let's try to make a postcard in the shape of a dog. Prepare the details for our craft in advance, a sheet of paper. Fold it in half, draw an outline, color it and together with your child, glue on details in the form of a tail, eyes, etc. The card is ready. 
For students primary school We suggest assembling a voluminous dog. Print out a blank dog or draw a template yourself. So, in order for our structure to stand, the body must be cut out of cardboard folded in half, then glue the head onto it, and draw the muzzle with a felt-tip pen or pencil.
Craft - Dog for competition.
The Dog craft is easy to make on your own and the next master class will demonstrate this to you. If you need to make a craft for a competition, then try to make every effort together with your child to ensure that the resulting toy looks decent. Here's an example: take a cylinder from under toilet paper. Fold the sleeve inward. Paint the resulting body with gouache or watercolor. Cut out parts for the muzzle from cardboard or paper. Then stick them on the cylinder. Ready!
Let's take advantage modern technologies– color 3D printer. Print out the finished parts and glue them in the right places. 
Craft made from new and modern material.
Foamiran. Quite amazing and good material for making craft toys. It is synthetic, non-toxic and comes from North Korea and Iran. The texture is similar to plastic suede. Note that foamiran should not be confused with porous rubber. What colors and shades can you find on the market!
Work progress:
Prepare some kind of board, foamiran itself various colors and awl.
Then make the head. Draw elements of a muzzle on it, mold a black or brown nose, and then a body and legs. 
After that, you need to make little white pads for the paws, on which you need to make cuts.
All that remains is to glue the legs and head to the body. As an accessory, also make a blue collar, for example, or bows. 
Now make the ears. Choose the color at your discretion. It can be either black, dark brown or light brown.
At this stage you need to make the eyes. They can be either molded from foamiran or drawn with pencils or felt-tip pens. 
The resulting craft can be varnished. Ready!
Let's sew a dog.
Here we are talking about how to make a dog craft. And we are ready to offer you many options. This section is intended for those who have basic sewing skills. Let's try to sew soft toy in the shape of a dog, which can be a great gift for the New Year or a Christmas tree decoration. 
So, everything is quite simple. Draw a pattern (or print it out). Then everything is transferred to any type of fabric (the choice is made according to your taste, but if you are not well versed in fabric, then we can recommend felt - it is more popular nowadays). We cut out two parts at a time, then sew them together with a buttonhole stitch. The main thing is to remember to leave a hole for the filler. Having filled the toy, sew up the rest. The toy is ready!
If you are a fairly experienced tailor, then I offer the following toy patterns to choose from...
Ideas from Japan.
All New Year's Dog crafts should be beautiful. So try your best while creating them. Among the readers, there will probably be people who know how to spin. We suggest connecting volumetric craft using hooks and knitting needles. Let's use Japanese technology called amigurumi. The point is that the toys are knitted in a spiral. The end result is cute and cute creations.
We make a Christmas tree toy - a dog.
Consider three options for crafts that are suitable as New Year's decorations.
Felt dog. We have already considered this case above. This material makes an amazing and creative toy.
Paper dog. We will need a sheet of paper of any color and markers to draw eyes and a nose. Below is a diagram on which you can assemble the toy. All that remains is to thread the thread and hang it on the tree. 
Rubber dog. Recently, weaving with small rubber bands has become very widespread among children of primary (and older, too) school age.
Let's sum it up
To make the dog's garden craft interesting, use our ideas. In addition, add your own imagination to them. Many ideas and thoughts are spinning in our heads. As you can see, you can make a talisman for next year using any available means. So let it bring you good luck in the new year 2018.
Sew and stuff the body, then sew the head, paws and tail to it. Sew the ears to the head. Using black thread, embroider the nose, mouth and claws on the paws.
Glue ready-made plastic eyes (you can get them at a sewing supply store) or black beads. To make the craft look more decorative, tie a ribbon around your neck.
DIY dog toy
A very cute animal can be made from felt; this material is ideal for beginner needlewomen, because it does not crumble during work.
Cut out two dog bodies from felt, and also cut out a pair of ears (they should be different colors), spot and nose. Also prepare a felt strip 0.8 by 12 cm, it will be useful for the collar.
Sew the spot and nose onto the front part of the body, first outline the mouth and eyes with a pencil, and then embroider them.
Fold the parts of the body, and then secure with pins, sew along the edge, not forgetting to leave a small hole. You should stuff cotton wool through it, then sew up the hole.
Sew the ears from the back half of the body, place the collar (do not pull it off), secure it at the back and sew on a button.
DIY Christmas tree toy - year of the dog
From felt you can also sew a wonderful DIY dog Christmas tree toy- be sure to decorate the Christmas tree with it for the upcoming New Year 2018. To make it, first of all, draw a pattern: the head, ears, nose and spot around the eye. Attach the pattern to the felt so that it does not move - secure with pins and cut out the muzzle. Then cut out all the other parts. Christmas tree decor will be even more attractive if you use fabric of different colors. And if you work a little longer and make it double-sided, then you simply won’t be able to take your eyes off this decoration.
Now all that remains is to collect DIY dog Christmas tree toy. Glue on the nose and spot (you can use fabric glue for this). Embroider the eyes, mouth and mustache, however, instead of eyes, you can also sew buttons. The final step is to place the ears and ribbon for hanging, followed by covering with a top layer of felt.
Year of the Dog - DIY toy
The cute spotted dog is sewn from fleece - the result is an incredibly cute soft craft.
First, make a pattern for the toy - draw the body, tail, ear and head on paper, then cut it out. Transfer the body pattern onto the white fleece, cut out two pieces, not forgetting the seam allowances. Also use white fleece for two elements of the head, four for the ear, two for the tail. When cutting, be sure to add seam allowances.
Place the body parts right sides on top of each other and sew them together without leaving any holes. Make two darts on the head parts and sew them, leaving a hole here. Place the ear pieces in pairs (face to face) and sew without sewing up the holes in the upper parts. Do the same with the tail, but do not leave a hole.
Make a small cut on the body and turn the part inside out, stuff padding polyester inside and sew up the cut. Do the same with the head and tail, turn the ears out and straighten them.
Sew the ears to the head, the tail to the body. Cut patches of different sizes from black fleece and sew them to the body and tail. Also cut out a black fleece circle with a diameter of 3 cm - this will act as a spout. Sew this circle with black thread along the edge, tightening it slightly. Place some padding polyester inside and tighten the thread. Sew the nose and spots to the head, and then sew it to the body. Lower the ears down and grab them with a couple of stitches, glue the eyes. Tie a satin ribbon around your neck.
It will also be unusually cute.
New Year's toy DIY dog
Children also want to take part in making the symbol of the New Year 2018. For them the best option there will be modeling from plasticine, because everyone knows perfectly well how this plastic mass has a positive effect on the development of various skills.
In order to sculpt a cute mongrel, you should take plasticine brown. Also, you can’t do without a stack.
You should cut off a small part from the plasticine bar, knead it well and transform it into a ball. Pull out the ball on one side - this will be the nose part. You should stick a black ball-nose to it, and use a stack to cut the mouth. Make round eye holes using the same tool and insert black and white balls into them.
Make ears from brown plasticine and attach them to your head; if you want, you can use white or beige. Transform the rest of the brown plasticine into the body of a mongrel - first of all, roll out an oval roller, then sharpen the neck and highlight the chest in a semicircle.
To sculpt the hind legs, prepare rollers and balls. Squeeze the balls to form flat drops, attach to the bottom of the dog’s body, then attach the paws.
To make the front paws, the plasticine should be pulled out into thin tubes and bent at the ends. The limbs can be based on matches. Attach the front paws to the body, cut the pads with a stack.
If you want, you can “hang” a collar on your neck; this is best done when the head is not yet attached. Attach a tail to the back; if you wish, you can make it “fluffy” with a stack.
Attach the head by piercing the neck with a match. Then go over the entire surface of the chest with a stack - it should also become fluffy.
As you can see, both an adult and a child can easily make a charming dog craft, we recommend that you start creating now so that by the New Year you will have excellent toys.
