"A faithful friend made from cotton swabs"

If you have children who go to elementary school, then you are familiar with the situation when in the evening your child tells you that tomorrow they definitely need a craft. This option is ideal for taking to school.

This craft is easy and quick to make with your children; everyone has the materials! We will need:

  • Packaging of cotton swabs
  • White and colored cardboard (thick paper will do)
  • PVA glue
  • Scissors
  • Poodle stencil
  • Black pen, pencil

So, let's get to work!

Let's trace and cut out the poodle and its ear from white cardboard. Cut the ends of the cotton swabs. We only need a cotton tip from them.

Let's start gluing cotton swabs onto the cut out poodle. It is important to glue in a certain order, and not chaotically. So we glue the head, part of the back to the middle, tail and legs. Stick the sticks on the ear too. Before gluing, look at how the poodle’s fur grows; in places where it is especially thick, glue sticks.

When the glue is dry and the sticks hold well, glue the ear to the dog's head. Glue the poodle onto colored paper and draw his eye with a pen.

All! Tomorrow you can bring your craft to school with a pure soul!


"Bottle Dog"

You'll be surprised how many crafts you can make from plastic bottles. Flowers, houses and even entire compositions are created from them. Today we will try to make a cute dog out of them that can decorate the garden.

We will need:

  • 3 plastic bottles, the volume of which is from 0.33 l to 0.5 l (remove the paper wrappers first)
  • Lids. Lots of covers. Big and small
  • Glue (a glue gun works best)
  • Scissors
  • Satin ribbon
  • Eyes for crafts
  • Acrylic paints

Well, let's begin!

In the bottom of one bottle, cut a hole equal to the cap and insert another bottle there. The body is ready!

We glue two small caps and glue them onto the bottle that we inserted into the first one, for convenience we will call it the second one. This is the neck of the future dog. We take the third bottle and glue its lid to the “neck”. We make 4 more double covers and glue them to the sides of the “body”.

Now we need to make our friend’s paws. To do this, we will make 8 glued lids and glue each two together. This structure must be glued to the large lid. After this we must connect the body with the legs. Glue the legs to the edges of the covers on the body.

Now we need to paint our faithful friend. You can choose any color for this.

The tail can be made of any shape. You can simply glue a double cap to the cap of the second bottle or show your imagination and make the ponytail longer or shorter, figure out how to make a curled ponytail, it's all in your hands!

Next we will make the eyes and nose of our dog. To make the eyes, we simply glue craft eyes to the double lids, glue them together and glue them edgewise to the dog’s head. We will also make the nose from the lid, it will be more beautiful if we paint it black, and glue it to the muzzle.

Now we will make decorations from felt and satin ribbon. The ribbon will serve as a collar, just tie it around the neck with a bow back, you can make ears or a second bow from felt, and glue the decorations to the back of the eyes.


Ready! You can carry the bottle dog into the garden!

"Polonka made from pompoms"

The Maltese is one of the most beautiful breeds of small dogs. Let's try to make it out of pompoms.

  • Yarn, preferably two skeins of different colors
  • Cardboard
  • Scissors
  • Glue (preferably a glue gun)
  • Black beads or eyes for crafts

Let's get started!

First you need to make seven pompoms of different sizes - two large ones of one color and five small ones of another.

To do this:

  • Let's make two large “donuts” from cardboard and two small ones.
  • Take a strand of yarn and fold it in four. Now let's thread it through the donut. Thus, we wind the yarn on circles. The more yarn, the fluffier your dog will be!
  • Now we cut the threads in a circle, move the “donuts” apart and tie the middle with thread.
  • Trim the pompoms with scissors to make the craft neat.

Ready! So you need to make two large pompoms and five small ones.

Now glue the pompoms to each other as follows. First, glue the large pompoms together, then glue the small one to one of them. Here is the body of our dog. Now we will glue the paws to the body - the remaining small pompoms.

Glue a bead on the small pompom on the head, and on the large one that serves as the head, you can take beads or special eyes for crafts and glue them. We cut out the ears from felt and glue them on.

If you wish, you can decorate the dog with a bow on its neck, ear or head.

All! This New Year’s dog craft can be hung on a Christmas tree or made into a keychain by tying a string to the dog’s head.

DIY dog photos

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 elementary school students, we suggest assembling a three-dimensional 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 toilet paper cylinder. 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!


We will use modern technologies – a color 3D printer. Print out the finished parts and glue them in the right places.

Craft made from new and modern material.

Foamiran. Quite an 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 of various colors and an awl.

Then make the head. Draw the 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 a 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 knitting a voluminous 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 garden craft interesting, use our ideas. In addition, add your 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.

In preparation for the New Year's Day years and kids, and parents love to make different crafts. For example, they can make cool garlands from paper, three-dimensional figures from plasticine, funny appliqués from cotton pads. And since symbol of the New Year 2018 - Dog, then we asked the parents of our group to make different toys and dog crafts. For example, a cool figurine can be made from plastic bottles, nylon tights or other available materials. Such crafts can be done at school and in kindergarten.
