Rooster for the new year with their own hands. The brightest and most interesting crafts for the new year

According to the eastern calendar, every year passes under the sign of one or another animal. In 2017, this sign will be the Red Fire Rooster. How to earn his favor so that he "give" only positive emotions and pleasant events? To meet him, you should make the symbol of 2017 with your own hands. There are several options for how to do this.

Panel and application

A wall panel depicting a Rooster is an excellent decoration, astrologers recommend hanging it in the kitchen. And fabric applications are perfect for making covers for sofa cushions. All these things can simply be an interior decoration or part of a gift for the holiday.

Button panel

Perhaps this is one of the most simple crafts. To create it, you will need:

rectangular sheet of cardboard
suitable frame,
fabric (plain or with a small pattern),
quite a lot of buttons (about 100 pcs. different sizes and colors)
clear glue,
simple pencil.

The most difficult thing about how to make the symbol of 2017 with your own hands in the form of such a panel is to choose the shades of the buttons well so that there are no sharp transitions. So, red buttons are chosen for the paws and scallop, yellow for the head, and orange for the neck. It is best to make the tail multi-colored (blue, lilac, purple, etc.), and in the middle of the body all these shades should connect.

The fabric is covered with cardboard, gluing it on the reverse side, and then the outlines of a rooster are drawn on the fabric with a pencil to make it easier to fill the contour. The buttons must be laid out (first large, then small) and only then glued. Free places can be filled with beads.

Felt applications

If you need to make an application with the image of the Rooster - the symbol of 2017 - with your own hands, then it is best to use simple form templates. This will make it easier to sew the pieces onto the fabric.

First you need to find a pattern or draw it yourself on thick cardboard and cut out every detail: an egg-shaped body, a scallop, wings and a beak.
Now you need to attach these patterns to the fabric and circle (it is best to use a special crayon or a simple pencil), and then cut out. The fabric must be contrasting: if the background is dark, let the bird be light and vice versa. Moreover, the scallop, beak and wings should differ in color from both the background and the body.
It remains only to sew the details to the background. It is best to do it manually, but if there is a good sewing machine with a choice of seams, you can use it.

When the applique is done, it is sewn onto a ready-made cover made of dense fabric, put on a pillow and placed on a sofa.

Stuffed Toys

Often as a gift or just to decorate the interior, they make Stuffed Toys with your own hands: the symbol of 2017 can be sewn or knitted. They are usually crocheted, and sewn from some dense fabric. A synthetic winterizer, holofiber or synthetic winterizer is used as a filler. In some cases, foam rubber is also suitable.

Sewing

A pattern for a cockerel can be found or made independently from cardboard. You should get 2 parts of the body, as well as a scallop, beak, beard and 2 wings. They are best made from felt so as not to process the edges.

Fold the fabric from which the torso (together with the head) will be sewn in half with the right side inward. Attach the pattern, circle and cut 2 parts at once, taking into account the allowances for the seams.
Cut out a comb, beak and beard from red felt. Fold the body parts right side together, placing the comb, beak and beard inside and sew everything together, leaving room for stuffing at the bottom. Turn out, fill, sew up completely.
It remains to make a cockerel paws and eyes. The paws are made of cord or twine, and the eyes are made of black beads.
Wings are sewn to the toy last. They are also made of felt, but preferably not red.
A bunch of thick threads for knitting is rewound with a thin thread and sewn in place of the tail.

The toy is ready. If its size is quite large, then you can leave it as it is. For small crafts, a loop is sewn on top to hang them somewhere (for example, under a chandelier).

Knitting

The figurine of a rooster is rather complicated for those who have never made knitted toys. But for those who know how to crochet, it is worth trying to make it.

First you need to cut out a full-size "egg" from dense foam rubber.
Then dial 4 air loops and close them in a ring. Next, the foam "egg" is tied in a circle from the bottom up - this will be both the torso and the head. Acrylic threads are best.
According to the same scheme, the beak is knitted (with threads of a contrasting color) and sewn to the head. Black buttons or beads are sewn in place of the eyes.
The scallop, wings and paws are knitted separately and sewn to the body.

Small multi-colored cockerels that can be placed on the table near each plate will look very original. After the gala dinner, guests will be able to pick them up as a keepsake.

whistle

Making the symbol of the new 2017 with your own hands, sometimes non-standard materials are chosen for crafts. For example, clay. For those who know how to handle it, it will not be difficult to make a whistle:

Knead a piece of clay the size of half a fist in your hands, and then roll it into a ball.
Pressing the ball with your fingers, form a hollow figurine of a cockerel. It is important that the head, beak and comb stand out well. If it is not possible to sculpt the paws - it does not matter, you can simply make a flat abdomen, and then the figure will be stable.
Now you need to take a wooden stick and make a hole in the figure from the side of the tail, and the second hole is made from above just below the back.
In this form, the whistle must be dried by placing it in a box with several holes for ventilation for 2-3 days. And then - burn in the oven (45-50 minutes at a temperature of 220 C °).

The whistle is ready, it remains only to color it. If it turned out not very smooth, then it can be lightly sanded with sandpaper, and then varnished. For coloring use special acrylic paints for glass and ceramics.

paper decoration

If there are children in the house, then they will surely like the idea of making a symbol of 2017 with their own hands out of paper. This craft can be hung on a Christmas tree.

From any colored paper (preferably red, yellow or orange, because these are the colors of the symbol of the year), roll up the cone and glue it.
Now you need to make a tail, it should be multi-colored. For him, paper is cut into strips and loops are made. They must be glued to the cone at the back at the bottom.
Wings are made in the same way as the tail.
To make a scallop, you need to glue the strips to the top of the cone and twist them, sharply running the sharp side of the scissors over them.
The eyes of such a Rooster are simply drawn or glued on small circles of white paper, and circles of black on them. For the beak, a rhombus is cut out, folded in half and glued under the eyes.

The most difficult thing for a child is to make paws correctly. They are made from the same strips of paper as the tail, folded like an accordion, and glued to the wrong side of the cone from below.

A bit of astrology

The rooster will try to test many for strength, especially those who rely only on luck, and not on their own strengths and capabilities. The Fire Rooster will come into its own from January 28 and will rule until February 15, 2018. The Rooster himself is bright, sociable and elegant. In the coming year, the color of the Rooster and the element that it represents will be reflected in all our undertakings and life moments.

The style in which it will be executed will add a special charm to the picture - this is Petrikovskaya painting. The colors that we will use are typical for the Ukrainian applied art "Petrikovka". On the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region in Ukraine, huts were decorated in this style, painting their walls with bizarre patterns. Then the painting began to be used to decorate dishes and furniture, and now with the help of Petrikovskaya painting, together with the children, we will create an original New Year's picture.

For this craft, we will use strips 3 mm wide, which can be cut independently from colored paper, it must be painted on both sides.

We will make a scallop from three “drop” elements using a strip 7.5 cm long. For the head, a strip of this length will also be used: "almond" and "drop". The “almond nut” element is also useful for decorating the beard of our cockerel.

The beak will be in the shape of the letter "V", so we need a strip of only 2 cm long, which should be folded in half. The eye is a dense "spiral". We will still need 7.5 cm strips to fill the empty spaces on the body, so for the future we can prepare "almond nuts" and "drops", as shown in the picture.

To decorate the body, we need strips of paper 10 cm long, which must be twisted into an “almond nut”. Elements must fill the entire space of the drawn body.

acrylic paints;
thin white paper;
cardboard;
newspapers;
scissors;
glue gun;
brushes;

The rounded triangle will become its beak, this blank must be glued on the side. For the beak, you will need 2 such parts.

Cut out bird wings from cardboard using a glue gun, glue them with blanks from egg trays that look like leaves.

Most of your time will be spent waiting for the body of the papier-mâché rooster to dry. Therefore, it is better to start work with its formation. Cut the newspapers into strips, dilute the glue with water in a 1: 2 ratio in a container. Dip the paper here, stick it on the inflated balloon. It will take more than one hour for this part to dry. When this happens, pierce the ball with a sharp object, take it out through the small hole left.

This rounded workpiece must be cut into two unequal parts, insert the smaller one into the larger one to increase the strength of the part. Glue these elements with a glue gun.

While the papier mache was drying, you had enough time to form the head and neck of the rooster. To a detail that looks like a flower with elongated petals, made using petals from egg tray, glue two triangular beak blanks, a comb cut out of cardboard.

Insert the second one into this flower blank, then the third, fourth and fifth. The head and neck of the bird are ready. Glue this piece to the side of the papier-mâché balloon half. To do this, we attach a strip of cardboard inside the neck with a glue gun so that it looks out from below. We glue this label to the papier-mache half of the body.

To make the tail, draw semicircular lines on the lid from under the eggs, cut them out.

If you want the bird to be voluminous, then separately mold the wings, buttons, and the upper part of the scallop.
Leave this result of creativity for the dough to dry. To do this, place the product in a well-ventilated area to give the workpiece greater strength. Dry it for a day in this way, then heat the oven to 50 degrees.
With two spatulas, transfer it to a baking sheet covered with paper, sprinkled with flour. Make a minimum fire, dry at this temperature for 2 hours. Remove the product, cool it.
Now we need to paint our fiery rooster with acrylics of different colors, and then with varnish.

If you have clear nail polish, it's great for coloring the salt dough rooster.

You can also fashion a voluminous rooster from salt dough. Then the figurine needs to dry well for two days.
