There are many presented here step-by-step master classes- how to make a pig craft with your own hands step by step photos and video.

The Pig is a soulful old lady, she is courteous, kind and extremely scrupulous. You can trust her with any intimate secret; she will never betray or spill the secrets entrusted to her. She is distinguished by her honesty, she will never lie, even for her own good, she is simple and vulnerable. But she is not so weak as she is good-natured. As the Chinese horoscope says, the boar is a symbol of pleasure, simplicity, passion and fertility. The Year of the Pig will be successful and favorable for everyone!

For this holiday, you can make a bunch of crafts with your own hands. A holiday gift can be absolutely anything, but it will be better if it contains the symbol of the year - a pig. Decide in advance what you want to accomplish for the coming year. The gift should be pleasant, beautiful and useful. But whatever one may say, every person likes to receive a gift made with their own hands.

Here are some current ideas:

1. Sew or knit small versions of the piglets.
2. Make a postcard with a pig and be sure to write a congratulation in it - great gift for a colleague and simply as an addition to the main presentation.
3. Make pigs in the form soft toy.
4. You can make a piggy bank from a plastic bottle.
5. You can also make pillows for a sofa, armchair, and even for a car. Cute piglets will warm and delight those to whom you give them.

Even though piglets are pink and cute, they love to measure puddles and play in the mud. Often the delicate color of their skin is hidden under a thick brown layer of earth or clay. In this tutorial we will make a pink pig that is bathing in a swamp. Let's start the lesson by selecting the material, then knead the mass in our hands, roll up the suitable parts and assemble them into a single product.

Modeling - useful and exciting activity, which is aimed at developing mental abilities child in the same way as drawing or creating paper appliqués.

You may need such a figurine if you are creating a farm, playing exciting game to reproduce animal sounds, stage a play about the three little pigs. In any case, creating animals with your own hands is always exciting.

What you will need for work:

• The main material is pink plasticine;
• Brown plasticine;
• Chestnut or acorn - will help save weight;
• Toothpick – fastening of the head and body.

For work, we can take 1 block of plasticine to get a miniature figurine. An acorn or chestnut will help you save weight. These fruits have a rounded shape, so you can camouflage such a frame inside the body. In any case, we will have to show the fat creature, because all the piglets are very well-fed, so the extra volume of the body will not hurt.

From the prepared pink plasticine you need to make: a torso (for it, prepare an acorn or chestnut and a large cake), legs, a head and a tail. Cut the block into pieces and knead each one separately in your hands if you have thick plasticine and not waxy one.

Glue a pink cake onto the acorn, place it between your palms and smooth it out, roll out the surface. Next you need to make a ball head and attach it using a toothpick. But the matter is complicated by the dense material that we placed inside the body.

You will have to first make a hole in the acorn so that you can then insert a piece of toothpick into it. Also make small fragments that will allow you to copy the appearance of the planned pet: ears, snout, tail.

Glue a wide flat cake onto the ball. Press the dents twice. Glue a little above the eye, and cut out a mouth a little below.

Connect the head to the body with a toothpick. Glue the ears to the head, lowering the cakes down. Glue the tail at the back and twist it into a spiral. The figurine already looks like a pig.

Do the legs. There is no need to do each one separately. You can form simple rectangular pieces, cut along the tip of a toothpick, then glue two hooves to each piece.

Attach the legs to the body. Also make a large cake out of brown plasticine - this will be a swamp where we will place our cute pig. She will love to bathe in the sun.

The inhabitant of the farm - a plasticine pig is ready. She doesn’t grunt, doesn’t run away, doesn’t ask for food - she’s just a toy that is very similar to a real animal. Perhaps this is one of those three famous little pigs who outsmarted the bad wolf.

In this master class we will make such a pig from an ordinary plastic bottle.

It is better to choose a bottle with a pink cap. But you can paint any lid pink acrylic paint.

We cut out the middle of the bottle - we need to shorten it.

We connect the upper and lower parts; if desired, you can fix them with glue.

• four foot covers;
• printed ears and eyes.

You can print our sketch in A4 format.

We cut out all the elements, also do not forget to cut out the strip for the tail.

Using hot glue, attach the ears, eyes and pink overalls.

Attach the legs.

Our glamorous pig is ready!

This is such a fluffy and soft pig that can be made from knitting threads.

We have to:

• wool threads;
• pink chenille wire;
• felt;
• button;
• ready-made eyes;
• cardboard.

We cut out two rings from cardboard: the outer circle with a diameter of 7 cm, the inner circle 5 cm..

We cut yarn 1-1.5 meters long into 5-6 threads.

We put the two rings together and begin to wrap them with yarn.

We wind until the hole closes.

The last circles can be pulled through with sticks.

Then cut the yarn along the outer edge with sharp scissors.

Spread the rings a little, wrap the middle with thread and tie.

All that remains is to remove the rings and shake the pompom.

We make legs and a tail from chenille wire and glue it on.

I didn't have a pink button the right size for the pig's snout, so I painted a matching button with pink nail polish.

We glue all this to our pompom.

The soft pig is ready!

I used half a skein of standard yarn.

Bookmark using origami technique

Many parents and all educators devote a lot of time and attention to the development fine motor skills children. Why do this? By developing fine motor skills, you also develop the brain, that is, attention, thinking and memory. How to do this?

To develop children's fine motor skills, special techniques have been created and quite a few books have been written. But even without knowing all this, you can come up with something new, interesting and useful every day for your child.

For example, you can make an unusual bookmark in the shape of a pig using the origami technique. In itself, this unique ancient technique is already designed to develop fingers and arms, as well as attention.

Materials needed to make a bookmark:

• double-sided pink colored paper;
• scissors;
• Ruler and pencil;
• glue;
• button.

First, we need to construct a square with a side of 12-15 cm using a ruler and pencil.

Carefully cut it out and fold it diagonally once.

Now you need to fold the two corners to the fold, as shown in the photo.

We fold the side corners and wrap them in the resulting envelope. The corner blank is ready. Now we begin to revive it.

We will make a pig from the resulting corner, so we need to cut out ears from the same pink paper. A large pink button will serve as our piglet. You can take the eyes ready for toys, but you can also draw them and then cut them out.

Carefully glue the button, eyes and ears. The result is a funny, cheerful pig that will store the page and you can easily find it.

What will it be like? original gift for dad or grandma! It is even more valuable because it was made by children's hands.

Each of us has pencils and pens. Especially in children. And so that they are all in one place and do not get lost, we will crochet a cute pencil holder in the shape of a pig. This pencil holder will fit perfectly into a child's room. In addition, tying it will not be difficult.

To knit a pencil holder we will need:

• yarn in light pink, dark pink and black;
• hook;
• needle;
• a little padding polyester;
• cup.

We start by knitting the bottom of the pencil holder. Let's knit a circle using double crochets. We knit with light pink yarn.

Let's make a sliding loop and knit twelve stitches into it. Starting from the second row, we will make increases. In one row in each loop, in another through a loop, in the next through three loops and so on. We knit a circle the size of the bottom of the glass, which will be the base of the pencil holder. Our bottom is ready. It is better to take a heavy glass for the base so that the pencil holder stands firmly and does not fall.

And now we need to raise our next row a little. To do this, we knit a row for back walls We no longer make loops or increases. We begin to knit the walls.

We knit rows until our knitted cup hides the base. This is how we tied a regular glass.

Let's tie the nose into a snout. We knit it with dark pink yarn. Let's make two loops and knit six single crochets into one. We will make increases from the second row. In one row in each loop and in the other row through the loop.

Then we knit a row behind the back walls of the loops and knit another row with single crochets.

Now let's tie the pig's ears. We knit them with dark pink yarn.

Let's make four air loops and perform two double crochets in the initial loop. We knit four turning rows. And in each of them we make an increase in the first and last column.

Using light pink yarn, we tie each ear with single crochets.

We will tie the eyes with black yarn. Make ten half double crochets into a sliding loop and tighten the loop.

On the patch we embroider minks with black yarn. We sew the patch to the middle of our knitted cup, filling it a little with padding polyester.

And we sew the ears on the sides, folding their wide part in half. To sew the ears evenly, you can find the middle and count the same number of stitches in both directions.

Then we sew on the eyes.

All that remains is to embroider a smile. We also embroider it with black yarn.

The crocheted pencil pencil in the shape of a pig is ready!

DIY application from foamiran “Piglet”

You will get a little pink pig if you repeat this interesting lesson. Naturally, it is intended for children, they are the big fans of paper making. The figurine will turn out to be unique, because it needs to be made exclusively from circles. In order to somehow diversify the work, we will replace the paper with foamiran - an unfamiliar material with a unique soft texture. It will be even more interesting to work with him.

If you have a pink leaf, then it is perfect for a little pink pig, if not, then take paper or foamiran at your discretion. The circles will become details for making crafts; this shape will allow you to reproduce the fact that the pig is plump.

To make an applique in the shape of a pig, prepare:

• pink foamiran;
• blue cardboard;
• compass;
• scissors;
• glue;
• white paper coin;
• black marker.

How to make an applique in the shape of a pig with your own hands step by step.

Blue cardboard will become a canvas for an interesting foamiran applique. The pink leaf will later become a pig, you need to cut out a sufficient number of circles from it suitable size. This is the minimum amount of materials that will be used.

Cut 3 large and 1 small circle from pink foamiran. The small circle will become the head, one of the large ones will become the body of the pet. Leave them unchanged. Cut the remaining two large circles in half. While you will need 3 semicircles to imitate the legs, the hind legs will visually merge, so you don’t have to show the second one.

Glue a large whole circle in the center - this is the body of the pig, you need to position it so that all other parts of the body fit onto the prepared sheet. Directly attach one half of the circle - a leg - to the round body, move the other leg forward a little. But make these 2 parts on the same level. This way the front legs will already be in place.

Glue a small circle on top of the two semicircles - this will be the head of the animal. Add a leg at the back, turning the part with the convex side towards the head.

Now you need to use the remaining half of the third large circle. At the second stage of work, we cut 2 of them in half, but only 3 halves were used for the legs. So, the last fragment will be used to make the ears and tail. Cut 3 segments. Thus, the initially prepared parts will be triangular.

Glue the ears to the head, lower the tips down and secure with glue. Glue another segment at the back in the form of a tail, bend it just enough to show an imitation of a hook. The foamiran figurine is already ready. Now you can design the muzzle. Glue a white paper coin in front - a patch, draw black dots. Also make 2 slits - eyes. That's all the manipulation of materials.

The pig turned out to be very positive; all kids will like this children's craft, because it is easy to make and bright.

Using the same principle, you can perform completely different familiar or exotic animals. Experiments are always interesting and useful for the development of children.
