Decoration in the shape of a rooster
Hello, dear site visitors. This toy can decorate a room well for the New Year, because when illuminated it will sparkle and shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow. Children will really like it, and to make it you will need about two weeks and the following materials and tools:
- Cardboard or white paper (suitable in A4 format);
- Glue;
- Blue rhinestones (2 pcs.);
- Scissors (simple for paper);
- Special scissors for metal;
- CDs (about 7 pcs.);
- Filler (cotton wool);
- Red ribbon;
- A cap from a perfume bottle (as a stand);
- Needle and thread;
- Tweezers.
This is what the finished craft looks like:
First, we need to cut out four toy sample shapes from white paper or cardboard and glue them in pairs. This will give strength to the two parts crafts. After that, we glue them together in the head and tail area, and then glue the back and neck, but only from the inside at the edge, so that the figure becomes voluminous (you can use tape here) without gluing the front side. In the front side, between these two figures, we must make a third part that connects them and gives volume to the craft.
We get this figure:
Next, in order for the resulting figure not to lose its shape (crumpled), we must fill it from the inside. Cotton wool is suitable here, and for convenience, you can use tweezers when inserting it into distant areas of the craft:
After the figure is filled with cotton wool, the hole in it at the bottom will need to be sealed. It can be covered with two layers of new paper, but it is not advisable to use tape.
Next, we take the cap from the perfume bottle and make three pairs of holes on top of it in order to attach (hem) it to our figure:
To make it more convenient to insert the needle and thread into the lower part of the cap, you can use tweezers:
This is what the craft looks like after sewing a cap to it:
Next, we take CDs, which need to be cut using metal scissors into many different particles of arbitrary size and shape. To the head of the figure on both sides you need to glue one blue rhinestone, which will serve as the eyes for the toy:
You can use laser discs in different shades: gray, green and purple. You can “color” the craft arbitrarily:
Some discs, when cut, fall apart into their component parts and have to be glued together, and some of the discs crack when cut. This is difficult when working with them, since you will need to use more glue, and you also need to have either very good scissors or special metal scissors.
Pasting the craft can take up to ten days. When pasting is complete, if the figure’s tail begins to bend and fall (that is, it has lost strength due to the weight of the particles from the disks glued to it), then it can be hemmed to the neck area of the craft.
To ensure that the craft does not sway on the stand and always stands level, it needs to be wrapped with something in the sewing area, for example, a plastic bag. The package can be hidden behind the tape:
If the tape has cut off crumbling areas, they need to be scorched with a lighter or matches.
This is what our craft looks like from the reverse side:
The area tied with a bag can be decorated with a lush bow:
This is how the resulting craft looks from the other side. After this, our toy will be ready. It can become a good decoration for a holiday, having reflective properties. And after making it, we will be able to give “new life” to some items that we were going to throw away:
