How the Christmas deer is made: a master class

Christmas deer as a symbol of the New Year came to us from America. After all, it is there that Santa Claus drives on sleds harnessed by reindeer. This animal was so fond of it that it is often used in New Year's patterns on clothes, napkins, toys and so on. We suggest you learn how to make a Christmas deer in several ways.

Wooden Crafts

Such a Christmas deer with its own hands is made from ordinary branches and logs, which can be found in the forest. From tools and auxiliary materials you will need a saw, drill, mounting glue, a red ball. To produce the body, you need to take a large log, one smaller log (for the head), four identical branches (for the legs) and one for the neck (neck), a bump, thin branches to make the horns.

Instruction:

1. Prepare all the details. For this, cut all the logs and branches to the required length with a saw.
2. With the help of a drill, make four holes for the legs in the thickest log.
3. Slightly sharpen the branches for the feet on one side.
4. Pour glue into the holes of the trunk and insert the branches-legs.
5. Make a hole on the trunk on the other side and on the log-head for the neck and insert in the same way as the legs corresponding to the branch.
6. Glue the bump on the tail.
7. Make small holes in the head and insert the horn-branches.
8. Glue a red ball to the head of the nose.

You can decorate a deer with a red scarf tied around the neck.

Fabric artwork

If you have a few unnecessary shreds of fabric, do not rush to throw them away. From them you can make a cute Christmas deer. Depending on the size of the fabric, you can get a toy for the child, decoration on a Christmas tree or decor for a room (for example, for a window sill).

So, cut out the silhouette of the deer from the paper. Then chop together two scraps of fabric face-in. Attach a pattern and circle it. Cut out the workpiece from the fabric, away from the contour of half a centimeter. Sew two parts together or glue them with a glue gun, leaving a small hole. Turn the toy out and fill it with sintepon, cotton wool or any other filler. Sew or seal the hole.

On the finished toy, sew a button-glazik, embroider a mouth and a spout. If you are planning to hang a Christmas deer on a Christmas tree, then attach a ribbon.

Pillows with deer

An interesting variant of the New Year's decor is decorating the decorative pillows with silhouettes of deer. You can use old pillowcases for this, or you can sew new ones.

Just take two identical pieces of cloth, which in size will match the parameters of the pillow. Sew them together from three sides, and with the fourth, attach a snake. Draw a silhouette of a deer on paper. This can be both the outline of the whole animal, and its portrait. Then cut out the pattern and attach it to a piece of fabric that is different in color from the pillowcase.

Glue the part on the cover or sew it with interesting stitches. To decorate the silhouette, you can use ribbons (paste to the neck), buttons or rhinestones (make eyes and a nose) and other accessories.

We take plastic

From such a wonderful material as plastic, you can make a lot of New Year's crafts. You can buy a color or white, and then paint it yourself. For example, in order to make such a Christmas deer (photo above), you will need brown, beige, black, white and red colors. From the instruments you will need to take a pencil or a special wand with a tip. This simple set will allow you to make such a craft, like a Christmas deer, with your own hands.

Master Class:

1. Take a small piece of plastic brown and first roll the ball, and then give the details of the shape of the pear.
2. Make small notches for the eyes. If there are no special tools, then use a match.
3. From plastic beige color make a small oval and attach it under the notches for the eyes.
4. Make two small black circles and insert into the eye sockets.
5. Make a small red circle and put it on the nose.
6. Make a pear-shaped detail, which is about a half times the size of the head.
7. Connect the body and head.
8. Do in the head on top of two holes.
9. From beige plastic, make small horns and insert them into the holes.
10. Make one ear.
11. Make four identical parts for the legs and handles. Attach them to the appropriate places.
12. Roll four identical small black balls, smooth them into a pancake and make one small cut. It will be a hoof.
13. Attach the hoof to the handles and legs.
14. From red plastic make a hat, and from white - fur.
15. Attach the cap to the side of the head.
16. Allow the figure to dry or dry it in the oven.

Paper Christmas deer

The easiest way is to make a paper deer. Take a cardboard or kraft paper and cut out the silhouette of the animal from it. Then take the red button, strazik or bead and glue it to the place of the nose. On the neck tie a small bell, which you can buy in the store for creativity. From above, make a hole in the hole and pass a decorative rope or ribbon.

Where to use crafts?

If you are afraid that you will do too many crafts, you are mistaken. There are many places that can be decorated with Christmas reindeers: a dining table, a window sill, upholstered furniture, a dresser in the hallway, shelves with books and even a mirror in the bathroom. Thus, with the help of a small craft, you can create a festive atmosphere throughout the house.
