And at the end of the article you will find a video bonus: making a pig from pompoms as a gift for the New Year. So, if you're ready, let's get started!

Papier-mâché: piggy bank

To make a funny papier-mâché piggy bank, we will use toilet paper or newspapers, acrylic putty, acrylic paints, PVA glue, an inflatable balloon, foil, and a foil reel.

First of all, you need to inflate the balloon. Then we apply prepared scraps of newspaper soaked in PVA glue and water onto the inflated ball in several layers - so that our piggy bank is not soft, but strong enough, and let it dry.

In a plastic bucket we will prepare the papier-mâché mixture: tear toilet paper or napkins into small pieces and add PVA glue. Mix everything properly! We coat the future pig with the resulting “chewed paper”.

When the papier-mâché frame dries well, the ball must be carefully burst and pulled out. Now we need to close the hole through which we pulled the ball out: to do this, we will seal it crosswise with masking tape and apply papier-mâché, leaving a small rectangular hole - this will be a slot where money is thrown.

We divide the foil reel into four equal parts - it will serve as legs for our pig. Glue the legs to the pig with masking tape. Then we apply papier-mâché. The inside of the legs must be filled with something heavy - this will make our pig more stable. Sand or some small metal object, such as a nut or screws, will do.

We make a snout for the pig from foil, under it we need to form a mouth (upper and lower lip).

Now we need to sculpt eyes and ears for our pig - they can be made either from the remains of papier-mâché or sculpted from clay.

The flexible wire will serve as a tail for the pig: twist it, covering the tail with the remains of papier-mâché. After our pig has completely dried, it must be properly treated several times with acrylic putty and then wiped with a cloth dampened in water - this will level the barrel of the pig.

Our piggy is ready for painting!

First you need to apply dark paint, you can use several different shades. Then red paint is applied to the craft with a sponge.

Then - pink, and as the final stage - pink and white paints are applied. The last step is to apply white paint to the protruding surfaces. Our piggy bank is ready!

We offer you another version of the piggy bank, the step-by-step implementation of which you can watch in the video:

Pig pendants made from salt dough

As a wonderful souvenir gift, you can also make a pig pendant at home from materials that can be found in every home - flour and salt. It is very easy to make such a pig, it turns out very cool and is suitable as a mascot that any child will be happy with, or as a craft for kindergarten. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to make such a souvenir.

Simple DIY crafts for kindergarten

Products that can easily be made include a paper craft, a costume for a children's party - a mask and pig ears, as well as a pig in a pen. Let's take a step-by-step look at how easy it is to make these crafts yourself.

Paper craft

To make such a toy paper souvenir, we will need: a pencil and a black marker, a ruler, colored paper - pink or red, as well as silver, a stapler and glue, pre-prepared plastic eyes, and a ribbon for decoration.

The body of our pig should be voluminous; For this we will need colored paper - pink or red. We cut out an even rectangle from paper, connect the edges with glue or a stapler so that we get the base body for our craft - a tall and wide tube.

Next, we make the basis for the pig’s face: we take paper of two different colors, from one we cut out a larger circle - the head of our piglet, and two small triangles-ears, from the second - a smaller oval-patch. You can take pre-prepared plastic eyes for the pig, or you can cut them out yourself from other colored paper.

Now we need to connect all the parts we cut out: bend them and glue the ears and snout to the head in sequence. On the patch we will add nostrils and a smiling mouth underneath. We draw eyelashes on the eyes.

Now you need to cut out the remaining details from multi-colored paper - for the pig’s belly we’ll take a silver color, and red for the front legs and tail. We glue the prepared parts: we glue the long legs on the sides of the pig's body, the tail - to the back of the craft, the tummy - in the front.

We tie a thin ribbon around the pig's neck and tie a smart bow. Our pig is ready!

The finished paper pig craft can be presented as a New Year's present, and it will also look good on a decorated Christmas tree as a toy.

You can also make the following craft from cardboard:

Costume: mask and pig ears

It is very easy to prepare such a costume for a children's party yourself, since it does not require sewing and its production will take only a few minutes.

For a costume consisting of a pig's snout, ears and tail, we will need:

felt or fleece in pink and white colors,
scissors,
glue,
stapler,
paper cup,
elastic pink ribbon,
thin elastic band,
white thin plastic hair hoop.

First we make the ponytail: cut a piece of felt fabric - it should be a little longer and wider than a piece of wire. We put the wire inside a rectangular piece of fabric, wrap it and carefully glue the fabric.

Then we take an elastic band, fold it like a belt, attach the tail we prepared in the middle and fasten it with a stapler or glue. Curl the tail like a pig. One piece of the costume is ready!

Now let's start making the patch. To do this, take a cardboard cup of small diameter, put a piece of pink felt on it, trace and cut out the resulting circle - this will be our patch. Cut off the top of the glass so that the height of the glass is one and a half to two centimeters.

We cut a rectangular strip of the same width from the felt so that we can wrap our cup. Now we glue our cut out parts to the cup: a circle to the bottom, a rectangular strip along the entire cup. It turns out to be a cute pink patch!

We cut out two small oval parts from white felt - nostrils. Glue it onto the patch exactly in the middle.

We make two small holes on the sides of the cup into which we insert a thin elastic band. We tie an elastic band inside the cup-patch on each side into a large knot. We try our nose on our head; it should hold tightly enough so that it does not fall off, but also does not press too much. Our nose for the pig costume is ready!

Let's start making ears. To do this, we need to cut two large pieces in the shape of pig ears from the pink felt. Then we take our hairband, gather our ear, clamp it and wrap it around the headband, secure it well with glue.

Our costume for the holiday is ready!

Pig in the pen

To make such a textile craft we will need:

empty plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters,
plastic eyes,
4 plastic lids,
a piece of light felt or felt material,
a small piece of flexible wire
a piece of padding polyester,
nylon white stocking,
colorful paper,
several wooden skewers,
skein of twine,
shoe cardboard box lid,
gouache red and white,
clear varnish,
hot glue,
a few pebbles, acorns and twigs.

First, we’ll prepare a pen for the pig: turn the box upside down and glue the required number of wooden skewers around the entire perimeter.

We cover the inside of the box with green paper and weave a fence using twine around the glued skewers. We put acorns and pebbles in the pen, put a plastic jar - a feeder for our pig, and arrange tree branches. Our pen is ready!

Now we make a pig from a plastic bottle: we cut the bottle into several parts - the bottom, the middle and the neck. Connect the neck to the bottom and glue it using hot glue.

Using scissors, carefully cut out the mouth under the neck of the bottle. We cover the bottle with padding polyester and also make a mouth hole using scissors.

We tighten the stocking around the body of our workpiece, cut out a hole-mouth and secure it with hot glue.

Our stocking knot on the neck of the bottle must be closed with a snout: to do this, cut out a circle from white cardboard, cover it with nylon, tie it with thread - our snout is ready.

The knot on the bottom of the bottle must also be closed with a wire tail, which we first cover in the area of the butt with nylon.

Cut out the pig's ears from light felt and glue them to the head.

We prepare the legs: take plastic plugs, cover them with padding polyester and nylon, tighten them with thread, secure them and glue them to the pig’s body with glue.

Prepare the gouache: mix red and white colors to make pink. We paint our pig evenly. Apply clear varnish on top. After the craft has dried, glue on the pig’s eyes and nostrils. Our piggy craft in the pen is ready!

We sew a pig from children's tights

Making such a souvenir will not take much time; for this you will need synthetic padding, children's tights or socks and a little imagination. The piggy craft is easy to complete by following the step-by-step instructions below. Ready? Then let's get started!

Socks also make good piglets:

Pig ball made of threads

To make such an original craft we will need the following materials:

pink threads/yarn,
colored paper,
scissors,
round or oval inflatable ball,
PVA glue,
a plastic cup,
needle.

First we need to prepare the base - the body of the pig: for this we will take a balloon and inflate it to the size we need. Now we pierce the plastic cup right through with a needle: the resulting holes should go near the very bottom of our cup. We will pour PVA glue into it, and we will pull the thread through the holes so that it passes through the glue poured into the cup.

We wrap our inflated ball in a chaotic manner with a thread dipped in glue to create as many weaves as possible. The larger the layer of wound thread, the stronger the craft will be. You can stop gluing the ball when it is almost hidden under a layer of thread.

It is necessary to remember that the glue takes a long time to dry, about a day, so such a craft must be prepared in advance before the holiday.

After the glue has completely dried, you need to pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it from the craft.

The legs of a piglet are made in the same way: a sausage ball is inflated, wrapped with thread, then after the glue has dried, the ball must be carefully burst and removed from the legs.

Now you need to glue the legs to the body; While the glue dries, we can start making the pig’s face. To do this, on colored paper we first need to draw all the necessary details - a snout, eyes and ears, then cut them out and glue them onto the pig’s body.

Then you need to stretch a long thread and secure it with a loop knot - it will come in handy if we want to hang our craft on the Christmas tree.

Coffee toy

A New Year's pig souvenir in the form of a coffee toy is also easy to make, its design is quite simple, but it will have an exquisite aroma of coffee, vanilla or cinnamon and will give its new owner only positive emotions. Let's start creating a coffee toy!

The technique for making such a souvenir is quite simple, and to make naf-naf we will need: light calico, light threads, stuffing material - padding polyester or foam rubber, vanillin or vanilla sugar, cocoa, instant coffee, cinnamon, scissors, PVA glue, needle, old toothbrush, gel pen, small container for diluting fragrance, brushes, acrylic paints.

First, you need to prepare and cut out a template - you can attach tracing paper or thin paper to the monitor screen and trace the outline of the toy from the photo.

The toy can also be cut out to any size; to do this, just click on the picture and its size will increase. It is also advisable to transfer the cut out pattern to thin cardboard - it is more practical and convenient.

Now we will need our pen - we will use it to trace the resulting pattern; This should be done on fabric that is folded in half; if you plan to sew more than one toy, then you need to leave a space on the fabric between the patterns for a seam allowance of about 0.5 cm, while the seam itself is best done not along the drawn line itself, but nearby: the mark from the handle will not be noticeable if the fabric gets wet.

It is necessary to sew two layers of fabric along the line at the same time; the seam begins and ends between the hind limbs of our craft, leaving about 2 centimeters unsewn - this hole is necessary to make it more convenient to stuff the pig. Also, you can’t cut the seam threads so that it doesn’t come apart when we turn and stuff our pig.

We also cut out triangular teeth at the seam allowances, leaving a distance to the seam itself of about 0.2 cm - this will allow the seam on the toy to remain smooth and not bulge in different directions.

Now we turn it inside out and stuff the stitched pig; For particularly narrow spaces, the ends of folded scissors are suitable. We fill the toy with padding polyester using the unsewn holes: the more padding polyester there is inside, the more “plump” and “pot-bellied” our pig will be. It is necessary to carefully sew up the holes through which we stuffed our pig and thread it - this will help us easily hang our pig to dry.

Now let’s prepare the flavoring for our craft: dilute 40 ml of boiling water in a prepared container and add a teaspoon of coffee. Then the remaining ingredients - vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa - add about a quarter of a teaspoon to the resulting mixture.

Stir everything thoroughly and cool. Then you need to add about half a teaspoon of PVA glue to the mixture and mix thoroughly.

Apply the resulting composition to our pig with a toothbrush so that the fabric is stained and not completely saturated.

Now we need to dry our toy; To do this, hang it on a rack in the oven, turned on at low heat, for a quarter of an hour.
If, after drying, there are still wet spots on the toy, you need to turn off the oven and dry our workpiece in this way.

After complete drying, the fabric soaked in the coffee adhesive solution will become rigid, and any funny design can easily be applied to it.

Let's start painting - first with a simple pencil to outline the details, and then with acrylic paints. After the paints have dried, you can attach a loop or magnet to the coffee toy - then you can hang it on the Christmas tree or on the refrigerator.

It is advisable to avoid getting the toy wet. Our wonderful DIY coffee pig is ready!

Sew a tilde pig

In order to make such a wonderful souvenir, we will need a printout of the pattern, cut out and transferred to the selected material. The best material for such a toy is natural, plain light fabric, such as linen, cotton, calico, poplin. You can take materials left over from old clothes or a new piece of fabric.

The pattern itself consists of several parts - the pig's body, ears and legs.

The fabric must be folded in half, the pattern pieces placed on top and outlined; Don't forget to leave 0.5 cm on the seams. Now we cut out the resulting parts and sew them together as shown in mk.

Be sure to leave holes for filling the craft with stuffing and in order to sew on the pig's tail. Next, we need to sew the resulting parts together and turn them inside out. We fill the craft with filler, for example, padding polyester, holofiber, padding polyester; You can also put a flavor sachet into the pig.

It is necessary to sew the legs and ears to the body of the pig using a hidden seam. We decorate the muzzle: you can glue plastic eyes, sew on beads, embroider with threads or paint, nostrils can be drawn or embroidered with floss; You can paint a blush on the pig’s cheeks, so it will become more elegant.

In order to make the last detail of our pig doll - the perky tail - we will need to cut out a rectangular piece of fabric that is suitable in size, and sew a piece of flexible wire into it.

We fix the tip of the wire inside the tail with glue.

After the glue has dried, pull the second, free end, and it will take the shape of a pig's curled tail. We sew the tail into the body of our toy.

It’s easy to create a capacious piggy bank with your own hands, personifying the shell of the patroness of 2019 - the Yellow Earthen Pig. True, comparing it with other crafts, it is better to make it by an adult. Due to the small plastic objects required in the master class that need to be cut out with scissors or a knife, sharp edges, wire and oil paint, creating crafts with children’s hands is not safe and is harmful to health. Therefore, if you make a masterpiece, then only for your parents.

If you have an empty 5-liter plastic bottle, paint and small bottles at home, making a pig-shaped bowl is not difficult. The step-by-step instructions are an almost identical version of the piggy bank. The only thing that distinguishes that craft from this one is the cutout on the top.

The approach of the New Year and Christmas is always a pleasant and bright event. In every home, on the streets, on store shelves, in courtyards, in school classrooms and kindergartens - everything breathes holiday. There is a special atmosphere in people's moods. And today we’ll talk about how to make New Year’s crafts depicting the symbol of 2019 with your own hands. I think many people know that the coming New Year, if you look at it through the “pages” of the eastern calendar, is the year of the pig or boar, these 12 months simply have to be good - the pig is a homely, well-fed, fertile and generous animal. So let’s prepare something nice for the boar in the form of a simple New Year’s decoration with his images and wait for a return gift.

I want to offer you very simple and at the same time bright and interesting ideas for New Year’s crafts, which are suitable for assignments in kindergarten or school as a handmade gift from your kids, for relatives, close friends or guests.

Some of the projects from this collection are made of paper, others of felt, but we tried not to look for complex ones - this was one of the most important criteria, since we all remember the lack of free time, especially on the eve of the holidays.

A pig can be called a geometrically convenient animal, you will agree - two circles for the body and a heel, a couple of triangles for the ears, and four squares for the hooves... cut out, glued and that's it - the pig is ready. Well, let's look at the options for our crafts.

Craft symbol of the new year 2019

One of the most adorable craft ideas for the new year 2019 is a cute pink pig, thanks to the texture of the material, we will make it from cotton balls, slightly painted with light pink gouache. It looks like the craft is made from pink snowballs that the kids just made in the yard.

“Snowballs” are attached to a disposable paper plate or a circle cut out of any cardboard of the size you need. This project uses hot glue gun. We make the ears and snout from colored or pink-painted paper; by the way, you can also make a tail from it. We buy the eyes ready-made or draw them with a marker on a small piece of white cardboard and attach them to the craft. The finished pig can be sprinkled with glitter.

How to make a pumpkin pig craft

This year, handmade crowns are my favorite theme. Especially when it comes to all kinds of animals! Since the symbol, according to the eastern calendar, of 2019 is the pig, we’ll look at it. Well, first of all, this is a very harmonious combination: pumpkin and piglets)

For this option, we will need a pumpkin of any variety, but preferably a round, fairly even shape. The pumpkin can be painted any color - it's up to you. The ears are combined from two types of fabric - the basic one without ornament - both the snout and the mottled one for the inside of the ear are made from it. We make eyes and nostrils from black beads or buttons. The parts are attached using hot glue.

DIY Christmas tree toy

A great idea on how to make a Christmas tree decoration depicting the symbol of the New Year is to draw a piggy’s face on a single-color pink ball. This holiday decor can be the start of your personal collection of your family's designer toys. Pigs can be of different colors and sizes, the spots and the expression of the eyes are also a personal matter, so just give free rein to your imagination.

It is better to paint on the surface of the selected Christmas tree ball with acrylic paints; first apply light paints to the ball, and apply black or dark elements last. On the back of the toy, draw a curled, cheerful tail of your charming pig, so she will be beautiful from all sides)

Craft piglets - symbol of 2019

For this charming couple of piglets, we will need two (if desired, more) empty eggs, so to speak, if you want to make animals of different sizes, then use a chicken and duck egg, or simply choose two different chicken eggs, making small ones on both “tops” holes using an awl or a thick needle and remove the liquid contents, rinse the shells and let them dry.

We make a puddle for our piglets from brown cardboard or paper, you can also use felt. For finished patches, glue buttons with two holes with hot glue so that they are positioned horizontally. We draw the eyes with a black felt-tip pen or a thin marker, and cut out the ears from pink paper. We construct hooves and tails from “fluffy” wire and place the piglets in a puddle - in the good sense of the word.

New Year's toy - fleece pig

For those who really have hands of gold, an excellent idea for creating a New Year's toy with your own hands is this charming “representative” of 2019 - a pig sewn from pink fleece fabric. Such a handmade item can not only be placed under the Christmas tree, but also given as a New Year’s gift to a loved one.

As a filler for such a soft toy, you can use synthetic polystyrene and small polystyrene foam balls, which can often be “found” inside anti-stress toys and in pillows for pregnant women - they are not only very pleasant to the touch, but also safe and environmentally friendly. The size of such a pig depends on your idea.

Paper pig craft

For the youngest artists and creative individuals, there is also a great project, the simplest of our entire list today, but at the same time very cute and pretty. For a paper pig we will need a disposable paper plate, a black felt-tip pen or marker, a little office glue, pink gouache paint and paper for the snout, eyes and ears.

We paint the plate with gouache and set it aside to dry, in the meantime we cut out the snout and ears - we have them the same color, draw eyes on white paper and cut them out, when the plate is completely dry, glue the rest of the parts to it with office glue and finish drawing the nose and smile - the craft is ready. Simple and cute!

DIY pigs for the new year 2019

You can even turn small flower pots into adorable little hogs, you just need to give free rein to your inner artist, find a couple of plastic buttons and a fairly hard material for the ears. Paint the pots pink and attach the ears and heels using hot glue or super glue for plastic and ceramics.

When the craft is dry, draw eyes on the pigs - even nail polish or a stroke will be suitable for this purpose. For more charm, you can draw eyelashes or smiles on these cute faces with a black marker or felt-tip pen, but this is not strict - do it as you and your child like.

How to make a New Year's craft - a pig's face

Another simple and wonderful craft for the 2019 New Year - adorable faces of felt pigs. For such a miracle, patterns are not particularly needed - we just select a basic piece of pink material, draw the silhouette of a muzzle on it, and make the inner parts of the ears from felt of a different shade and a slightly smaller size. The patch can be made round or oval - this is not strict. If desired, by the way, this craft can be made double-sided by simply sewing two ready-made faces together.

We embroider the eyebrows and smiles of our cute pigs with brown or black threads. For the eyes, shiny black rather large beads or beads are suitable, see what you have at hand. Sew loops of a suitable length to the crafts, and now we have a DIY Christmas tree decoration in front of us.

Piglets for the New Year - crafts

The soft texture of felt and these adorable knitted scarves pair perfectly with each other and with the festive winter atmosphere. It is believed that such material symbols will bring good luck to their owner all year, in which “pissiness” is the best omen, even if the amulets are so cool.

Felt pincushion in the shape of a pig

Here's an idea for a cute and very practical gift - a felt pincushion in the shape of a pig. Such a craft will surely please your mother, your beloved grandmother, your older sister, and any needlewoman. The first advantage of this project is its ease of execution and the second is the minimum required materials and special sewing skills, by the way, are also not required.

We will need 6 squares of felt (of sufficient density) of pink color, a small piece of a lighter material - for the snout and ears, thread, a needle, a little filler - synthetic padding is perfect - and two small beads for the eyes. We will sew the craft with a regular seam - over the edge, you can choose the color of the threads to suit your taste, and you can also embroider a snowflake or initials on one of the sides of the pig to the person you decide to give it to.

In general, New Year’s crafts, whether it’s a card or a card that we make ourselves, are a great reason to spend time with your children, stay longer in your own winter fairy tale and create your own New Year’s craft, even if it’s simple and small, but still a work of art.

Making cute crafts following the instructions provided is easy and very fun. Children will be especially delighted if you take on such magical creativity together. Let's find out what crafts you can make for the New Year 2019 with your own hands - the symbol of the Year of the Pig.

Felt pigs

It’s very easy to make such a piglet, a symbol of the New Year 2019, with your own hands; for this you need to have the following arsenal of materials:

Felt of different colors,
Sintepon for stuffing toys,
Sewing supplies,
Scissors,
Buttons,
Beads.

It is necessary to cut out the parts from felt according to the proposed or your own pattern.

We sew the two parts of the head together, not forgetting to put the ears between them, using overlock stitches, leaving a hole for stuffing with padding polyester. After stuffing, we also sew up the hole using overlock stitches.

We also sew together two parts of the patch, stuff it with synthetic padding and sew two buttons to the patch.

Sew the finished patch and two beads for eyes to the head.

Sew the head to the body. The ponytail can be curled using a pencil. You can sew an elegant bow on the piglet’s neck.

If you attach a string to the pig's head, you can use the toy as a Christmas tree decoration.

Based on the proposed option, you can make many interesting options for toys, using additional materials for decoration (sequins, ribbons, beads) and your own imagination.

Sock pigs

This DIY symbol of the New Year 2019 is made from ordinary socks. Necessary materials:

Two socks of different colors or with different bright prints,
Buttons,
Sintepon,
Sewing supplies,
Scissors,

We stuff one of the socks with padding polyester so that we get a spherical shape, and cut off the rest. We sew the edge of the sock, tighten it and sew it with a hidden seam.

We put the previously cut part of the sock on the resulting ball. We sew its edge, tighten it and also sew it with a hidden seam.

Cut off the upper part of the second sock and cut it crosswise into two halves. The blanks must be rounded, giving them the shape of ears. We sew each piece from the wrong side and turn it inside out. We sew the ears to the body with a hidden seam.

Sew on the buttons - the patch and the eyes.

Pompom pig

The symbol of the New Year 2019 - the Pig - is made with your own hands from knitting threads. To do this you need to stock up:

Threads made of wool or acrylic,
Pink chenille wire
Felt,
Buttons,
Cardboard.

You need to cut out two rings from cardboard, put them together and wrap them with yarn in several layers. Next, cut the yarn along the outer edge and tie in the middle between the rings with thread. Cut the rings and get a pompom.

We make legs and a tail from wire and glue it to the pompom. We cut out ears from felt. We use a button as a snout, buttons as eyes, or ready-made eyelets. Glue the parts to the pompom and get a cute pig.

Piglets from cones

Making such piglets will be easy even for children. You need to stock up on cones, plasticine and wire. The cone can be painted pink. We use large scales from cones as ears and glue them to the body. We make the nose, eyes and paws from plasticine, the tail from wire.

Polymer clay pig

We will need:

Polymer clay,
Tools for working with clay.

Roll out a ball of pink clay. Shape the muzzle. Supporting the head with your fingers, level the patch on a flat board.

Use a ball-end tool to shape the head and make the necessary indentations.

Use small black beads or black clay balls as eyes.

Make indentations - nostrils and mouth.

Connect the head and body with a wooden stick. Make and attach the piglet's arms and legs, as well as ears and tail, as shown in the picture.
