How to make a sheep with your own hands? DIY sheep: master classes with step-by-step photos

Very soon the New Year of the sheep will come. It's time to take care of the symbol of the coming year; with it prosperity and success will enter the house. The sheep is a cute creature and many people wonder how to make a sheep with their own hands. A craft made from scrap materials will be a wonderful gift for loved ones. Be sure to involve your children in the creative process; they will enjoy this activity.

Let's look at some of the most interesting options. Each sheep turns out interesting and original. At a minimum, this creature will perfectly decorate your green beauty.

What gifts can you give?

Key rings. Beads will make beautiful keychains. The sheep can be made voluminous or flat. In the last version, you draw an image on a sheet of paper, count the beads, weave with a fishing line and a needle, connecting the rows together like Easter eggs.
Magnets. Embroidered, beaded or sewn sheep, New Year's scenes look great on the refrigerator. You can make unusual magnet toys. To do this, sew small sheep and glue magnets on their legs, then the lamb will be able to change the position of its legs.
Cloth. Scarves, mittens, hats, and socks can be decorated with sheep in the style of a Norwegian pattern. If you knit for children, you can create colored lambs.
Souvenirs (needle beds, biscornu, krivulka, zigugu). Find any cross stitch patterns with a New Year's theme, embroider and give an unusual shape to the souvenir.
Origami. A modular sheep can become a decorative addition to any home.
Amiguri. Small miniature amiguri toys are very popular. They knit very quickly and are used as decorative items, key rings, and car pendants.

Variations of New Year's symbols

Pendants. You can make hanging toys for babies. Sheep can be made in black and white, but you can diversify them with colorful pom-poms, flowers, and birds.

Stuffed Toys. Use pekhorka, pom-pom yarn, to knit sleep toys. You can sew them from felt. Tilda's lambs are especially unique (for them you should make a sheep stencil in advance).
Postcards. Any material is used (paper, beads, accessories, paints, fabric, threads) to create sheep. Postcards can be made flat, voluminous, with a surprise, or decorative.
Christmas decorations. Knitted or sewn lambs can hang on the Christmas tree and delight the eye with bright colors (use glitter paints for this).
Covers. Bags, cosmetic bags, and cases for mobile phones can be sewn, knitted, embroidered with a New Year theme and given to anyone, regardless of their gender or age. Particularly original are the covers in the shape of a three-dimensional lamb, that is, the sheep’s head is knitted, stuffed and sewn to the bag. Also, don’t forget to sew on the legs of such a sheep.
The New Year's symbol can be presented in any way. The main thing is that the gift is useful and practical. You can create a whole composition. For example, beaded trees, and under them a flock of sheep.

Cute lamb in the meadow

When doing creative crafts, children most often work with colored paper and cardboard. But there comes a time when it becomes necessary to diversify the process by adding other materials. Applications made from cotton wool will be especially interesting. These lambs look like real ones and look very cute. For beginners, this application option is suitable:

It's easy to do. It is enough to follow the instructions step by step. For young children, the technique of working with soft fibers is new, so the participation of the teacher and his assistance is of great importance.

First, prepare the lamb and cut it out. You can make the template yourself, or print it from the gallery. A cute pet looks like this:

Original craft: sheep made from cotton swabs

Such a lamb can become an element of a three-dimensional postcard, a Christmas tree decoration or an independent souvenir. To create it we will need:

white cardboard;

cotton buds;
glue;
markers;
Popsicle sticks or clothespin halves;
scissors.

How to make a sheep with your own hands from cotton swabs? From cardboard, cut out a large oval for the body and a small one for the head. You cut the cotton swabs almost to fit the cotton base, only leaving centimeter lengths for the ears. One sheep can use more than a hundred cotton swabs. Cover the body in a circle with cotton scraps so that the sticks are not visible. Then the illusion of curls is created.

Then you make the head. First, glue on the ears, and then a few sticks of curls in the form of bangs. Draw eyes, nose and mouth with a felt-tip pen and glue them to the body. If the lamb is used for a card or Christmas tree decoration, then cut wooden ice cream sticks in half and glue them to the wrong side of the body.

You can decorate the craft with white cardboard or paste it with cotton swabs, creating a three-dimensional product. By adding halves of clothespins you can give the sheep stability. You can also glue white cardboard with New Year’s greetings on the wrong side.

Lamb applique made of cotton wool and colored paper

This MK is also simple to implement, but is used very often.

To begin with, draw a sheep on a sheet of colored paper according to the diagram, then you need to cut it out and glue it to the background.

A bit boring? Then add drawn and cut out trees, clouds, yes, whatever - develop your imagination, come up with something of your own. After you have glued all the details, you can start working on the sheep’s wool: make balls from small pieces of cotton wool and glue them to the animal’s body. For children in kindergarten, prepare stencils with painted details. If this is a middle, senior or preparatory group, then the children will be able to cut out and paste parts of the applique themselves. Below you can see more ideas for appliques with cotton wool lambs:

Christmas tree toys: DIY sheep

Small crafts are suitable not only for souvenirs, but also for decorating a Christmas tree. Consider a master class on creating a miniature sheep. You will need the following material:

copper wire for the body, paws;
wine stopper or float;
glue “Super Moment”;
jute twine or any other thick rope;
white and black wool;
paper clips for ears.

Making a sheep craft is not difficult, but it will require patience, since the work is jewelry. Use cork to form a sheep's head. You pierce it with a wire, the end of which you bend to fix the position. From other identical pieces of wire you make paws with part of the body.

Attach them to the wire coming from the head and solder them (in extreme cases, you can wrap them with thin wire in the style of a ganuteli). Wrap the neck and body with twine, increasing the desired thickness. Then you wrap the head, paws, and body tightly with black wool, coating the surface with glue.

Quote from Melissa

Read in full In your quotation book or community!

In order to make a small sheep with your own hands, you do not need any expensive materials. Everything you need can be bought in regular stores found in any city. We will need copper wire with a diameter of 1.5 mm. You can buy a suitable wire from an electrical supply store and strip the insulation from it. A wine cork or, like mine, a fishing float for nets, is suitable for the head. Most foam plastics are not suitable for these purposes because the glue corrodes them. But in principle, the material is not so important. The main thing is to give it the desired shape and for the glue to stick to the base. I use “Super Moment Gel” and “Moment Crystal” glue in the following tubes:

These adhesives are clear and stick well. Again, the brand of glue is not important, use the one that you like and suits.

To wind the volume of the body you need some kind of thick rope. Mine is jute twine purchased at a hardware store. It doesn't matter either. Any rope will do.

Woolen thread will be needed for the final wrapping of the body and making the sheep's wool. The appearance of the sheep depends entirely on which thread you choose.

So let's get started.

First of all, you need to give the head the desired shape.

Then we pierce it with wire, which will be the neck and torso. We bend the end of the wire and secure it in the head. This way it won't turn.

We bend pairs of limbs from two identical pieces of wire.

This is how we solder the arms and legs to the body. If you don’t know how to solder, you can wrap it with wire, but this is less reliable and may dangle.

Next, having smeared the frame with glue, we wrap the required thickness of the neck and torso with twine. Secure the free end of the rope with superglue.

And now the most difficult part (especially if the sheep is white). We need to carefully wrap the head in one layer and without gaps. We start from the tip of the nose. We drip superglue. Glue the beginning of the thread. Then, in a spiral, spread a thin strip of superglue and wind the thread.

Gradually we reach approximately the middle. Then we do the same, starting from the top of the head. It’s unlikely to succeed the first time, so I recommend that you first practice on a similar head. It should look something like this:

Next we start wrapping the legs. It is necessary to bend the loops at the ends of the wire. Coat the wire with glue. And wrap tightly in one layer.

After this, bend the ends of the wire back. Again, apply glue on top of the thread and wind the legs to the desired thickness.

When all the limbs are wrapped, we wrap the torso, also first coating the base with glue.

Half the battle is done.

We make the sheep's ears from paper clips. In the same way, first we coat the wire with glue, wrap it, give it the desired shape and, after coating it with glue, wrap it completely.

It is necessary to leave free ends of the wire in order to later secure the ears to the head. When the ears are ready, apply superglue to the ends of the wire and insert them into place.

Now we need to make wool for the sheep. This is the most labor-intensive work that takes the most time.

You will need a stationery knife, a needle with a thin thread, a woolen thread and a smooth plate about 1.5 cm wide. The length of the future wool depends on its width.

We wind several turns of wool thread onto the plate.

On one side we tighten it with a needle and a thin thread (I have it black for clarity, but you’d better take a thread that matches the color of the wool). You need to stitch it so that the thread does not unravel later.

Cut the opposite end with a knife.

This results in a bundle like this:

You need a whole handful of such bunches to be enough for the whole sheep. When you have made the required number of blanks, you can start gluing them. We spread a drop of superglue where the bundle is wound with thread and glue it to the sheep.

Thus we glue it all over. The closer the tufts are to each other, the denser the wool will be.

The final touch remains. For the eyes you will need two pins with balls at the ends. First we paint them white. When the pins are dry, shorten them with wire cutters, leaving about a centimeter. Apply glue and insert into place. After that we draw the pupils.

So our handmade sheep is ready!

Creating curls

We continue to look at how to make a sheep with your own hands. Bend the sheep's legs to give it a stable position. You make the ears from paper clips or any wire. Wrap it with black thread, connect it into a loop and “increase” the volume with wool. Leave small ends of the wire to coat with glue and stick into the head.

Now you make curls. To do this, wrap white wool around a fork or metal plate, as when creating pompoms. On one side you fasten with a single-color thread so that when cutting the other end the threads do not fall apart. Cut the second edge with a utility knife. Lubricate the resulting bundles with glue and cover the entire body with the head.

If necessary, use scissors to trim the sheep's wool. Glue the eyes onto the face (you can find ready-made running small eyes on sale or use wooden beads). You can move away from the classic version and make multi-colored sheep.

Trimming with cotton wool Miracle of the sheep

Maximum freedom for imagination is important for preschoolers. They will be happy with a cute sheep made by themselves:

or like this:

To complete the job you will need:

cardboard and sheet of paper;
black beads;
glue, stationery knives, scissors;
cotton wool;
markers.

First, make a stencil by drawing an outline on a piece of cardboard. A ready-made picture is also suitable for this purpose. Cut out the templates and mark on them where the animal's muzzle is. Draw the ears, nose, mouth and eyes. Color them. Do it step by step. Spread the back side of the stencil with glue and attach it to the second sheet of cardboard. Roll small balls from cotton wool. Cover the outline of the sheep with them, skipping the ears and muzzle. Make eyes from beads.

The step-by-step instructions are simple. It can be implemented in an older group - the kids will love creating such a picture. It will be a good gift for dad or mom; it can be used at themed exhibitions or as a decoration.

This option requires a minimum of materials and is suitable for both younger children and preparatory groups. This is such a cute, cheerful little animal:

To complete the craft, take sheets of white cardboard or paper, glue with a brush and cotton wool:

First prepare the templates. Draw a sheep or take one of the diagrams and print the photo.
Tear the cotton into small balls. Roll them up.
Spread the lamb with glue and glue the cotton curls.

Children will love making this applique with their parents or in kindergarten. Their imagination will complete the drawing of a meadow with flowers, clouds, sun or trees - the world surrounding the lamb is diverse.

Find other MK sheep made of cotton wool and paper, as well as napkins, in our gallery. Any description tells in detail about the process of creating an application. There is also an interesting video on this topic.

Felt sheep

Such toys can be used for keychains, Christmas tree decorations, and decorative souvenirs. From white felt you cut out the body, tail, legs, head with ears, and from black material - curls and flowers. Instead of felt, you can take any other non-flowing material.

You start work from the head, sew the parts together and insert the padding polyester. You can use a solid filler, on which you cut out the same sheep stencil and sew all the layers together. Immediately embroider the mouth, sew on the eyes, curls. Then you work on the torso. First, sew decorative flowers onto it. Next, sew together the parts of the body, sewing on the legs and tail in the right places. Don't forget to fill it with padding polyester. This is a version of a whole lamb, but how to make a small colored lamb?

Cut out two pieces of felt for the body (like a round cloud), head, ears (like droplets), curls (like an oval cloud). Four oval stripes for the legs, one piece for the nose (heart). You sew the head together, sew on the ears, fill it with padding poly, then attach the curls on top. Glue on the nose, embroider the eyes and mouth. Next, sew the torso together, inserting the legs. Attach the head on top and decorate with a bow and the same ribbon.

Lamb-Tilda

Tilda sheep are adored by children because of their simplicity and softness. As a rule, terry cloth is used for fur, and linen material is used for limbs and face. At the moment there are many patterns, but you can create it yourself. The easiest option is to make a sheep like a doll for the New Year. Let's look at how to do this in detail:

Sew together the paw parts. Sew the linen pattern on one edge. Fill with padding polyester.
Sew the body from fur fabric. Sew on the arms and legs. Fill with padding polyester.
Sew the head in three parts: two terry and one round linen face. Sew on the eyes and ears, embroider the nose, paint the cheeks with acrylic paints. Fill it with padding polyester and attach it to the body.
Sew a skirt from multi-colored scraps and put it on the sheep.

Progress of the lesson

Organizing time

Guys, let's get ready for work - let go of emotions, breathe out and get started.

Reporting the topic and purpose of the lesson

Once upon a time there lived a lamb. He was so white and curly that everyone called him Cloud.

The lamb loved to walk in the green meadow, listen to the birds singing and look at the sky. He also dreamed of flying with the clouds to see distant countries.

The owner of Cloud had two children - a boy Sasha and a girl Masha. They loved the lamb very much. Together with the dog Sharik, they grazed him in the meadow and often treated him to sweet carrots or apples.

- Bah, bah, how delicious. “Thank you, you are real friends,” the lamb always told them as he devoured the treat.

One day, at the end of autumn, the mistress came to the barn where a lamb, a cow and a pig lived.

-Can I cut your hair? - she asked Cloud. — Winter is coming soon, and I need wool for warm socks and mittens for Sasha and Masha.

“Bee,” the lamb shook his head, “I don’t want to give away my fur.” I'm afraid of freezing.

“Besides, if I get my hair cut, I won’t look like a cloud,” he thought.

- Don't be afraid. You will grow new fur. And without mittens and socks, children will not be able to leave the house in winter.

“No-no,” Cloud became stubborn. - No, I’ll give you my fur.

The upset hostess left with nothing.

“You did the right thing,” the pig, who heard the conversation, praised the lamb. – Never give to others what you yourself may need.

And pleased with himself, he grunted.

“And I think you should have agreed to the haircut,” said the cow, “to help your friends.”

“Don’t listen to the cow,” the pig grunted. - Just think, friends. You can live just fine without them!

This is how Sasha and Masha were left in winter without mittens and warm socks. One day, on a sunny frosty day, they could not stand it and ran out into the street. The children did not notice how cold they were and caught a cold.

Over the winter, Cloud grew even more. He was very hot in the warm stable. Its thick, long fur had become matted, and the lamb no longer resembled a light, delicate cloud.

“I don’t even know what to call you now,” the pig laughed at him. - Now you look like a gray felt boot.

“Moo, there’s no need to torture him,” the cow defended the lamb.

One day Sharik ran into the barn.

“Because of your stubbornness, Sasha and Masha went for a walk in the cold without mittens and socks,” he told the lamb. — The children caught a cold and are now sick. They love you so much, and you spared wool for them.

Hearing these words, the lamb became upset.

“Cut my hair, please,” he asked the mistress as soon as she entered the barn.

- Eh, Cloud, Cloud, why didn’t you immediately agree to help us? Okay, better late than never,” the woman sighed and went to get the scissors.

Seeing the shorn lamb, the piglet began to laugh:

- Oh, I can’t! Oh, how funny! How skinny you turn out to be. Just ribs. Now you look like some kind of bone.

“Don’t be upset, new wool will grow soon,” the cow consoled the lamb.

Soon Sharik said that from Cloud’s wool the hostess knitted not only mittens and socks, but also scarves for Sasha and Masha.

The lamb was so happy that the piglet’s teasing stopped making him sad at all.

Spring came, and the lamb was finally released outside. Ashamed of his appearance, he left the barn last.

- Look, our Cloud is coming! – the lamb heard the children’s voices.

Sasha and Masha ran towards him as fast as they could.

Cloud looked into the puddle and saw that it was again covered with white fluffy fur. Suddenly, somewhere in the distance, a church bell was ringing.

- Why do the bells ring? - asked the lamb.

- Today is the holiday of holidays - Easter! – the children answered in unison. We have a gift for you! - And they tied a bell on a smart red ribbon around Cloud’s neck!

- Thank you! I have always dreamed of such a bell. Now I will have a holiday too! – He shook his head, rejoicing at the cheerful ringing.

Practical part

In our lesson we will make a fairy tale hero - a lamb from an unusual material - cotton wool. See what kind of lamb you get at the end of the lesson. (Demonstration of the finished craft)

Let's remember the rules for working with glue:

1. Handle the glue with care. Glue is poisonous!

2. Apply glue to the surface of the product only with a brush.

3. Do not let glue get on your fingers, face, especially eyes.

4. If glue gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty of water.

5. After finishing work, be sure to wash your hands and arms.

6. When working with glue, use a napkin.

Wash your hand before working with cotton wool.

1. Using paper glue, glue the lamb template onto a sheet of cardboard

2. Roll cotton wool balls of different sizes

3. Glue the cotton wool to the cardboard by dripping PVA glue into the desired place. Do not press too hard on the cotton wool - it will stop being fluffy.

4. Color the lamb with colored pencils or markers. Decorate with applications in the form of grass, sun, clouds.

Summarizing

What beautiful clouds we made. Remember what the Lamb from the fairy tale overcame in himself?

- greed.

Thus, he helped the guys not to freeze in winter. It’s a shame that he realized his mistake after they got sick. But still he is great. Just like you all!

Beaded lamb

How to make a sheep from beads? Today you can find a lot of patterns for weaving lambs, both volumetric and flat, from beads and beads. Flat ones turn out sketchy and are more suitable for keychains or postcards. Goats are braided from the head down, and sheep from the back of the body to the head. Then the parts are simply connected to each other and a denser product is obtained. Using this technique (brick weaving) you can make colorful animals.

But voluminous sheep look more natural. The very first option is to braid a ball and bead for the body and head. The braiding is reminiscent of strawberry braiding. For curls, make loops. You also weave the ears with a loop.

If you don’t know how to weave with beads, then combine two techniques (this will be the second method). For example, you sew the head and body from fabric and filling, and sew on the curls and legs with beads. You will get original souvenirs. You can also combine crochet with beadwork. For magnets, sheep are embroidered on canvas, cut and magnetic tape is glued to the wrong side.

Postcards and panels

It's very easy to create greeting cards. The easiest way is to stick an applique on ready-made postcard blanks. On the outside you decorate the plot with beads, threads or other materials. Children like to glue a Christmas tree out of pompoms onto cards and decorate them with paper balls and stars.

If you want to make a card yourself, then fold the cardboard in half. Use scissors to shape the size and edges of the card. On the outer side, apply a schematic design, glue and a bead base or threads (it is better to take wool, crumble it finely and glue it). For the postcard, the first craft (a sheep made from cotton swabs) is suitable, which you glue onto a cardboard base.

If you paint white thick cardboard, and make the foreground or main details voluminous using paper appliqués, beads, threads and other materials, you will get the basis for the panel. Simply insert the story into a frame without glass and hang it on the wall. For example, you can make topiary this way.

Panel options

Cut the foam ball in half and glue it onto cardboard. Draw a trunk, fence or vase. Cut a yogurt bottle lengthwise, wrap it with multi-colored threads, and glue it to cardboard. Cover the ball with flowers, pompoms, and decorative elements.

You can use foam balls to make the head and body of a sheep, which you will cover with pom-poms or beads. Or glue a finished animal created in origami style onto cardboard. A three-dimensional sheep is inserted into a frame without glass.

For preschoolers, another gift option is suitable. Print out the lamb template. Cover it in the places where the fur should be with a thick layer of plasticine. Then roll balls from napkins, crepe paper or foil. Attach them to plasticine. You can paint the head and legs with gouache or also cover them with plasticine.

If the balls are not large, then the craft can be placed under glass. Otherwise, buy special plasticine that hardens quickly and is not affected by temperature. Creating such crafts is as simple as making a sheep out of paper, but the result will be more interesting.

We embroider a sheep

Depending on the plot and size, the New Year's symbol can be presented in the form of a picture or a souvenir. Let's consider several gift options.

Pincushion. Embroider two identical squares, finishing the edges with a “back needle” stitch. Next, use these stitches to connect the two embroideries to each other. Sew a loop in the middle, stuff the product with synthetic padding, and drag decorative tassels along the edges. It turns out to be a beautiful souvenir pincushion. It can be used as a car decoration.
Magnet. Embroider the lamb pattern, trim off the excess fabric, and trim the edges. Apply magnetic tape. The result was an original do-it-yourself sheep.
Biscornu. Embroider two squares with New Year's patterns. You also process the edges with a “back needle” seam, but start sewing the parts from the middle. That is, you place the edge of one embroidery on the middle of the other half, and pull the needle through the stitches. You can string beads for decoration. Fill the biscorn with padding polyester and sew to the end of the edge. Decorate the middle of the product with a button and pull through a loop.
Sachet. This embroidery can be designed in the form of candy or a bag filled with aromatic herbs.

Stuffed Toys

We suggest you consider how to make a small sheep with your own hands (about the size of your palm). Such toys can become a decorative element of a home, car or educational children's rugs. For the master class you will need the following materials:

felt;
two beads;
threads;
satin ribbon;
padding polyester;
knitting threads in the form of balls;
black and brown floss.

On felt, schematically designate the body of the sheep, drawing an oval head, legs, and tail. Sew the parts together, cut the fabric so that when you turn it inside out there is an even seam. Stuff it with padding polyester and sew up the product.

Now, using threads that match the knitting thread, take the bump, sew its ends and sew it in a lump to the sheep, starting from the head in a circle. Then sew on the ears using satin ribbon loops. All threads, knots, tails are hidden under the “wool”. Next, use black thread to sew the beads onto the muzzle, and use brown floss to embroider the nose and mouth, bring the thread to the middle of the back and make a loop. It turned out to be a beautiful fluffy sheep with your own hands!

Stages of making paper sheep:

The lamb's body will be white. Therefore, to create it, we take half-cardboard of this particular color. Measure 21 x 7.5 cm and cut it out.

Now you should measure 5 cm along the top and bottom edges of the rectangle four times. In the far right corner, measure a final 1 cm to glue the figure together. We connect the upper and lower marks with vertical lines. We bend the future body of the lamb along the lines.

We put all the sides together like a book and draw the paws on the sides of the figure and the wavy part of the fur. Cut it out.

Let's reveal. Using scissors with a corrugated blade, we create a beautiful upper edge of the body. Or carefully make waves with ordinary scissors.

Use a felt-tip pen to color the lower parts of the paws.

Apply glue to the side of 1 cm and glue the body of the sheep.

For the front part of the body, you should prepare a piece of white paper that will have arched edges. Use a black felt-tip pen to highlight the contour line.

Glue the white piece to one of the faces of the cube.

Next, cut out the strip. We bend it several times and glue it together so that we end up with a three-dimensional part in the form of a rectangle. Using it, we will later obtain a three-dimensional head. Draw the outline of the head, including the ears, on white paper. Cut it out. Cut out the middles of the ears and nose from red paper. Glue the parts. Use a black felt-tip pen to add the necessary details to the muzzle, attaching plastic eyes to the center of the head. Or you can also draw them with a felt-tip pen.

Glue a volumetric rectangle to the back of the head. Next we attach the parts to the body. The cute white sheep made from colored paper is completely ready.

We will be grateful for any financial assistance for the preparation of new master classes.

Knitted lambs

Knitted toys are increasingly in demand among children. Sheep can be dressed up in different dresses and skirts, but if you use special yarn with different bumps, lumps, and long piles, you can knit original lambs with natural wool.

Let's learn how to create such a craft using small sheep as an example. Such amiguri are used as decorative decorations, and if you sew on a loop, you can hang it in your car. Let's look at how to make a multi-colored sheep. To do this, take knitting threads: cotton of three different colors and yarn with fibers or knobs for wool. You start knitting the sheep from the muzzle.

Crochet a circle, forming it into a hexagon. Next, you knit without any increases, getting a hat like an acorn. Then you narrow the number of loops to create a long pumpkin shape with a wide end. Having finished knitting the muzzle, fasten the threads with the bumps and knit the wool on the head. Create ears using a cotton hook and sew them on. You make the eyes from beads, and embroider the nose and mouth with a “game”.

Knit an oval or round body from threads with cones. Separately make the front and hind legs, adding multi-colored cotton. Finish knitting them with threads with cones. Sew the limbs and head to the body. Stuff all parts of the body with padding polyester. The result is a bright sheep made with your own hands.
