Cardboard puppy running

More durable and stable toys and figures can be made from cardboard. For crafts, sheets of white or colored cardboard from the sets are suitable.

Making a dog requires some skill. Be careful when working with wire and awl.

To make such a toy you will need thick cardboard.

What you need for work:

• sheets of cardboard and paper;
• pencil and markers;
• scissors, awl and tape;
• glue and wire;
• elastic thread, bamboo skewer;
• beads and buttons.

In addition to cardboard, you need to prepare threads, buttons and wire with an awl

Step by step steps:

1. Cut out the stencil (you can save it to your computer and print it).

   

   Cut out the dog template

2. We transfer the contours of the template onto cardboard, cut it out and make holes with an awl at the marked points.

   

   Cutting out the parts for the toy

3. We make fastenings for the legs: we pull the wire through the holes into the button and align the ends. We string the body, legs and tail onto the fastenings. The buttons should remain on the front side of the craft.

   

   Pull the wire through the holes on the parts

4. We fasten the moving parts together: we thread an elastic thread into the holes shown on the stencil in one circle and tie them one by one. In this way, we first tie the front paw to the hind paw, and then the back paw to the tail. After this, tighten and secure the wire.

   

   We fix the wire

5. We tie a long rope to the thread connecting the paws. Then we will pull on it so that the puppy will run. We attach a bamboo skewer to the dog with tape.

   

   Secure the skewer with tape

6. This is what the craft will look like from the reverse side.

   

   Reverse side of the toy

7. We decorate the front side of the toy: using felt-tip pens we draw a muzzle, an ear and spots. Glue a piece of braid to the neck.

Movable toys can be used for shadow theater or in home puppet shows.

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.

DIY Christmas dog toy

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 brown plasticine. 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.
