Adorable sheep from cotton swabs, threads, cotton wool, napkins. A child of any age can make a craft in the shape of a sheep with his own hands if he uses simple, affordable materials and simple work techniques.

At the same time, the most simple option, of course, there will be a “sheep” applique. will be a worthy decoration for any room, a gift for loved ones and even an option competition work, if you put more imagination into it and give it a little volume.

What element makes the sheep recognizable? Of course, wool! Therefore, you need to focus on it in your work.

First option: cut out the silhouette of a sheep from white paper and paste it on a dark background. Glue grass cut out of colored cardboard under the character’s feet. But make the body of the sheep voluminous using ordinary cotton wool: lubricate small pieces of the body with glue and place small cotton balls on them. To make the balls denser and more even, we prepare them in advance: we tear off pieces of cotton wool from the roll and push them into a loosely compressed fist until the fist is tightly packed. Pour the resulting lumps into a container and again fill the fist to the limit. Cotton wool also makes interesting things.

You can not glue the sheep to the background, but cut it out of very thick cardboard, attach or draw eyes and also cover it with cotton balls. The result will be a beautiful, slightly voluminous symbol of the New Year.

With such a sheep you can decorate a postcard or poster with New Year's greetings.

You can do without cotton wool. For example, make an applique of symmetrical elements with a wavy edge. To do this: fold a sheet of white or beige paper in half (to match the color of the sheep’s wool), draw a heart so that its center falls on the fold of the sheet. We cut out the heart with embossed scissors (if you don’t have them, you can cut it out with regular scissors, forming a wavy edge). We do:

  • three of these larger hearts - for the head and paws;
  • one smaller one - cutting it in half, we get ears;
  • one very small one, made of pink paper - this will be the middle of the ears (we will also cut it in half);
  • one very large – basic – heart for the body;
  • two small hearts - additional - also for the body of the sheep.

We begin to assemble the figurine: we glue two additional ones onto the upper part of the main heart to give the figurine more volume.

We glue the sheep’s head into the center of the main heart, and on both sides of it there are ears, inside of which we fix the pink “hearts”. For the front legs, cut the heart in half and glue them at the level of the middle part of the body, and glue the second heart - the hind legs - down the body.

You can use store-bought eyes, you can simply draw them, like the nose.

You can make an applique on an old ceiling tile with a suitable pattern or apply this pattern to white paper yourself. To make it voluminous, use baking paints: mix premium flour, white paint and baking powder. After applying the design using a syringe or pastry bag, warm it up a little in the microwave - it will become fluffy. Postcards with such an ornament look very elegant and New Year's, because the design is very reminiscent of winter frosty patterns.

You can also make a sheep with your own hands in the form of a figurine or souvenir. Here are some simple options:

Take a small roll of cotton wool as the base (body), and attach a paper muzzle and paws to it, which can be made from kebab sticks, cotton swabs, or paper.

Cut out the body of the sheep from very thick cardboard or plywood, paint it brown and wrap it with woolen threads.

Make a souvenir sheep from cotton swabs. To do this, cut out the body and head of a sheep from cardboard, and draw a muzzle on the head. We cover the body on both sides with heads of cotton swabs, laying them in even rows. We also make the ears and bangs on the head from cotton swabs. The legs will be two wooden clothespins, which we fix in the lower part of the body. If you attach a loop on top, it will turn out beautiful Christmas tree decoration. Still adorable New Year's toys can be done .

Place the workpiece in front of you, bend the two upper corners and the lower left one to the inside (Fig. 2). Using a pencil, draw the approximate contours of the sheep. Using scissors, cut out the paws and face of the animal (Fig. 3).

Horns are drawn on a separate piece of paper. They are cut out and glued to the places where the horns are attached (Fig. 4).

  4. Leave the resulting workpiece alone for three hours. It is better to place it closer to the heating device. The body should not be wet.
