However, it is worth noting that the help of an adult will be necessary here, since the making of an article is not so simple a thing as it might seem at first glance.
The needlewomen, who are engaged in knitting, ratherall know how to make pom-poms. Because, thanks to them, any knitted product, be it a sweater, a hat or leggings, can be given a more original appearance. Pompons for making lamb are made in the usual way, however, and here there are a number of features that everyone should pay attention to who does not know how to make lamb from pompoms and is going to do it for the first time.
Making lamb, like many other activities,should start with the preparation of materials. So, you need a hank of woolen threads. Each needlewoman can choose their color in accordance with their wishes, however, the animal, made of white or beige yarn, looks most realistic. In addition to the threads, you will need a cardboard, a pencil and scissors for creating patterns, a small piece of black yarn and small dark buttons (for forming a muzzle of a lamb), a hook or a needle, and an adhesive for connecting all parts of the toy. It should be noted that felt is another excellent material, from which a muzzle of such a toy as a lamb from pompoms can be made. With your hands it is easy enough to cut this part. Therefore, those who choose this option for making the animal's head, it is necessary to stock up the felt, preferably black or brown. It is also possible to make legs from this material. But first things first!
Once the materials have been prepared,patterns from cardboard. Their size should depend on how big the toy should be as a result. The pattern for the trunk must have the shape of an oval. Inside, it is necessary to cut the hole in such a way that the distance from the extreme line to the center line is 2-3 cm. There should be two such details - they will be folded together during operation, so it is very important that their contours coincide completely. To make a head, you need the same two ovals, but their size should be smaller than those designed for the production of the trunk. If it is planned that the lamb from the pompoms will have a head made of felt, then this will also require a template - it is necessary to draw a face on the cardboard with ears, and then cut and used for convenience of further work.
So, the templates for the torso are ready, you cango directly to its manufacture. To do this, you need to put two large ovals on each other and, passing the wool thread through the hole of both, secure it with the knot. Next, the yarn should be wound the same way throughout the entire area of the template until the hole inside is completely closed. When it becomes difficult to push the thread through the hole, you can use a needle or a hook for convenience. Then a lamb made of pompoms, made by hand, will be made faster.
When the hole completely disappears, you need to fix itthread, and the end - cut off. Then with the help of scissors it is necessary to cut the threads along the edge, trying to make scissors between two cardboard patterns. After the yarn is cut across the entire contour, it is necessary to fold the thread two or three times, achieving maximum strength, to make it between the patterns and tightly tie it to two or three knots, previously tightening it well. Now the cardboard can be removed, and the resulting pompon slightly trim with scissors.
The body is ready, but it is not enough toIt turned out a toy - a sheep from pompoms. You also have to make an animal's head with your own hands. This part of the body is produced similarly to the trunk, however, using smaller templates. When the pompon, used as a head, will be ready, it is necessary to "draw" on it the muzzle of the animal. To do this, use additional elements.
It is necessary to take a black thread, 20-30 cm in length, and inits center tie another similar length. After placing this triple thread on a smaller pompon and fixing its white yarn, you can see the nose and mouth on the muzzle. Eyes should be made with the help of small buttons or beads, fixing them with glue in the appropriate places. After that, you will be able to evaluate how nice the sheared lamb from pompoms will turn out by its own hands. Photo toys can also be done, but not yet at this stage. If the head is made of felt, then it must also be cut using a prepared template, drawing on the product all the elements of the muzzle of the lamb.
The head and trunk are not all the details,necessary to make a sheep out of pompoms. With your hands, you also need to make legs, ears and tail. To make the legs, you need to take a piece of cardboard, the height of which will correspond to the expected height. Next around the cardboard you need to make 16-18 turns of white yarn, after which it is removed, and the thread is fixed across the coils and continue to wind already across. To ensure that the legs do not bend, insert a toothpick into the inside.
Ears are also made by winding the thread onrectangular cardboard, but you need to thread them across the top only. To get the tail, the thread is similarly wound on cardboard, but it is fixed in the middle.
That's all the parts of the toys are ready, and you are almostyou know how to make a sheepskin out of pompoms, because all that's left is just to put together all the details made earlier. First, you need to tie the head and the body together. Further, with the help of hot glue, attach the legs and tail to the body, and the ears - to the head. If the head is used from felt, then it simply needs to be glued to the trunk-pompon, then no ears are needed.
That's made a sheep from pompoms with their own hands. Master Class, presented above, will help make this toy even for beginnersto needlewomen. It remains to decide what you can do with this toy on. So, a small sheep can be hung on the Christmas tree as a Christmas decoration. If you make several such animals, they can decorate the nursery.
