Find out for yourself which of these master classes you like best.

Stuffed toy cockerel – a caring father

The original image of a rooster, instead of a hen hatching an egg, will certainly appeal to people with a good sense of humor.

For work you will need: polystyrene foam; multi-colored pieces of fabric; tailor's chalk; threads; buttons; felt fabric (for decorating small details); stationery knife; decorative ribbons and beads; padding polyester or any soft filler; hot glue.

How to do?

Papier-mâché handsome rooster

You will need: cardboard; plastic bottles; scotch; PVA glue; wood varnish; watercolor; gouache or any paints for painting; brushes; stationery knife; thin paper or newspapers; hot water and a saucepan. The dough for the papier-mâché rooster master class needs to be cooked a little on the stove.

How to do?

We assemble the base frame from bottles and cardboard, as shown in the figure, connect them well with tape.
Prepare the papier-mâché dough: tear the paper into small pieces and pour hot water for soaking. For thin parts, the paper will have to be cooked over a fire. When the paper gets wet, squeeze out the water and mix with PVA glue.
We gradually apply layer by layer, giving the papier-mâché the shape of a rooster. Each layer must be thoroughly dried.
Now you can paint the cockerel and, to secure it, coat it with wood varnish so that the paints do not spread and stain your hands.

Rooster from egg trays

For the master class on a rooster made from egg trays you will need: pearlescent acrylic paints; cardboard egg trays; balloon IR; PVA glue; hot glue; newspapers; paper; brushes; scissors; stationery knife; simple pencil.

How to do?

Cut out separate parts from the trays for feathers, beak and everything else, as shown in the picture.
Gradually glue the feathers onto the cardboard base using hot glue and assemble the parts of the cockerel - head, wings and tail.
Make the abdomen using the papier-mâché technique from newspapers; to do this, cut the newspapers into strips, coat them with PVA glue and cover the balloon with them in several layers. The top layer should be made of white paper.
When the paper on the ball has hardened, pierce it and cut the shape into two unequal parts, as shown in the picture. Insert the smaller half into the larger one and secure it with strips of glue.
Fasten all the parts and paint every feather, every detail with multi-colored pearlescent acrylic paints, changing shades. You can imagine with your children.

Candy rooster

What you will need for the candy rooster master class: lollipops - roosters on a stick; a scattering of various chocolates; skewers; cling film; basket; decorative ribbons; artificial flowers; Styrofoam.

How to do?

We wrap the chocolate candies in cling film and thread them onto skewers.
Glue a piece of foam plastic to the bottom of the basket.
We beautifully distribute the skewers with candies and lollipops on the foam.
We place the flowers last to cover the entire bottom of the basket.
We decorate the skewers and the basket with bows and multi-colored ribbons.

Rooster made from newspaper tubes

What you will need for the master class: a rooster made from newspaper tubes: newspapers; PVA glue; stationery knife; knitting needles; paints for painting;

How to do?

Fold the newspaper lengthwise and cut it, bend it again and cut it again so that you get four strips from one sheet. Using a knitting needle, twist the paper at an angle of 30 degrees to create a long thin tube. Towards the end of the work, remove the knitting needle and tighten the tube, lightly gluing its edge. Paint the dried tubes in different colors.
Place ten tubes together. Twist the tube from the middle around the bundle three times and divide them in half. Leave the tip to the side.
We braid the two halves with a figure eight.
From one bunch we make a rooster's tail. Let's straighten the tubes, flattening them.
We will continue to braid the second bundle with the tip of the middle tube, creating a neck.
We bend a piece of tube in the middle and weave it into the neck, this is the beak.
We wrap the bundle over the beak three more times and hide the tip of the tube inside.
For the stand, take a new wet tube and screw it onto the bottom of the bundle, adding glue. Trim the protruding ends with a knife.
The wings need to be made in the middle of the figure; to do this, use a knitting needle to widen the hole between the tubes and insert three multi-colored bent tubes into it.

Salt dough rooster

What you will need: a glass of flour; half a glass of salt; half a glass of water; PVA glue 20 grams; toothpicks; paints; brush.

Making a rooster from dough is very simple, you can do it with your children. Knead a soft dough from water, flour, salt and glue, preferably with a mixer, so that the mass is more homogeneous. You need to immediately start sculpting the parts of the cockerel; toothpicks are needed to draw small details, feathers, pupils on the eyes. Connect them together and dry them near the battery. After drying, you can start painting.

The cockerel is ready! We wish you creative inspiration! And may he bring good luck to your home and cheer everyone up throughout 2017!

DIY crafts in the shape of roosters will be relevant not only during the holidays in New Year 2017, but also every year at Easter. And without them it is simply impossible to imagine an interior in Provence, country or rustic style. In this material, we presented 6 step-by-step master classes on how to make cute crafts in the form of roosters to decorate your home, Christmas tree or holiday table from scrap and even waste materials.

Master class 1. Candy bowl in the shape of a rooster

Looking at this elegant candy dish, it’s hard to imagine that you can make it yourself, and even from... cardboard egg cartons. In fact, to make such a handsome man it will not take much time or the skills of an artist-sculptor. By the way, even a child can do most of the work, so this is a great idea for a New Year’s craft for school or kindergarten.

With this candy bowl you can decorate festive table and surprise your guests. However, it can be filled not only with sweets, but also with tangerines, small gifts for competitions, and notes with predictions. You can also put a cockerel under the tree along with a gift.

Materials:

7 packages for a dozen eggs;
Scissors;
Acrylic paints and brushes;
Hot glue gun;
PVA glue (at least 250 g);
Balloon;
Old newspapers;
White paper.

Instructions:

Step 1. Cut out the cones located in the middle of the tray, then cut their sides into feather petals. Each cone should have 4 feathers.

Step 2. Now we need to make blanks for the head and throat of the rooster according to the principle of adding feathers to cones: the head will consist of 5 feathers, the second cone (throat) - of 6 feathers, the third cone - of 8, the fourth - of 10, the fifth - of 12 feathers. And finally, make the sixth piece, but in the form of a fan of 8 feathers, and not in the form of a cone, since this part will cover the beginning of the back. To extend feathers, use tape, gluing it to the inside of the blanks.

Step 3. For now, set the cones aside and cut out the beak, comb and wattle of the rooster. The comb just needs to be drawn and cut out. To make a beard, you need to cut a blank from two sidewalls of adjacent tray cells (see photo).

The next two photos show the principle of making the beak of our craft. Please note that the beak consists of two cones, because our rooster must crow!

Step 4. Now we begin to form the figure of the rooster, namely the head and throat. Glue all the cones together, starting with the smallest and ending with the largest, using a hot glue gun. Also glue the beak, beard and comb.

Step 5. Draw and cut out two blanks in the form of wings 15 cm long, then use a glue gun to cover them with feathers... from the same cones.

Step 6. Cut feathers for the rooster's tail from the tray lids (you should get 4 feathers from one lid).

Step 7. Let's move on to making a belly-bowl for candy using the papier-mâché technique:

Blow up a balloon and cut strips from white office paper and strips from old newspapers.
Cover the entire ball tightly with strips soaked in PVA glue (the glue can be diluted slightly with water). The first and last layers must be white. There should be at least 4 layers of paper in total.
The next day, when the paper is completely dry, burst the ball and cut the resulting “egg” into two unequal parts (one half should be slightly larger). Then place the small part in the larger one and glue it to make the bowl strong.

Step 8. Attach the rooster's head to the belly using a cardboard backing (from the inside). Hot glue the wings and tail to the rooster's body. Our craft in the shape of a rooster already looks surprisingly realistic!

Step 9. It's time to paint the candy bowl. You can choose the shades of paint to suit your taste, because roosters are different and it is not at all necessary to achieve complete realism. Perhaps your rooster will be beautiful in all-gold plumage? In the same project, shiny paints were used for the legs, beak, comb and beard, and pearlescent paints were used for painting the feathers.

Please note that the color transitions on the cockerel are smooth - from pearl white to gold and then to green.

Step 10: To provide more stability to your candy bowl, glue some kind of square support to the bowl and of course two legs made from 3-leaf cones. Finally, paint the paws, fill a bowl with candy and place your handsome one in a prominent place. Now he is ready to cheer up all the guests at the New Year's or Easter table!

Master class 2. Christmas tree decorations in the form of roosters

In the coming 2017, the Christmas tree must be decorated with decorations in the form of roosters. Do it yourself Christmas decorations lighter and best made from felt, because it is so bright, affordable and easy to work with.

And here is a video instruction on how to make crafts in the shape of roosters-hearts with your own hands.

In this video you can see general principle making felt crafts in the form of cockerels.

In addition to the egg with the cockerel, make some more felt pendants and decorate the willow branches with them for Easter

Master class 3. Paper roosters with hanging legs (for children)

Here’s an idea for children’s crafts on the theme of the symbol of 2017, which can be made both for school/kindergarten and for decorating a Christmas tree or walls at home.

Instructions:

Step 1: Download and print the template, then cut out all the pieces.

Step 2. Cut one rope, glue the paws to its ends - these are the legs.

Step 3. Place the legs on the bottom loop, bend it along the dotted line and glue it to the body.

Step 4. Glue the top loop.

Step 5. Well, that's all, now all that remains is to color the cockerels to your taste.

Master class 4. Panel with a silhouette of a rooster in Provence style

The silhouette of a rooster, painted on rough old boards, will be an excellent decoration, rustic or. And a panel with the symbol of 2017 can be excellent New Year's gift. The following selection of photos presents several ideas for such crafts.

Materials:

Wooden boards of small thickness. In this master class, boards from a pallet (pallet) were used; boards disassembled from a wooden fruit box are also suitable. Whatever boards you choose, fresh or old, you need to clean and dry them before making the craft.
Saw or jigsaw.
Small nails.
Hammer.
Stain or acrylic paints of the desired color for the background. If you wish, you can use chalk paints, which are sold ready-made or diluted yourself (from acrylic paints with the addition of gypsum). With their help, it will be easier to create the effect of an old tree.
White acrylic or chalk paint to depict the silhouette of a rooster.
Colorless matte primer for wood (preferably).
Matte varnish (preferably).
Brushes.
Fine grit sandpaper.
Pencil.
Paper.
Stationery or breadboard knife and scissors.
Wood wax, clear or dark (optional).

Instructions:

Step 1. Estimate how many boards you will need to put together a panel of the desired size.

Step 2. Take measurements and cut the boards to the same length. Also prepare two smaller boards - they will act as crossbars and connect all the other boards.

Step 3: Place the main boards face down, line them up, then lay two smaller boards crosswise as shown in the photo below. Now nail each board to the cross beams.

Step 4. Clean the surface from dust, then apply primer to the panel in 1-2 layers, allowing each layer to dry. This step is not necessary as we want a rough and antique look to the wood and paint, but a primer is still necessary if you want to extend the life of your painting and make it easier to care for.

Step 5. Now we need to paint the boards, that is, create a background for our rooster. To create the effect of faded paint, in this project water stain was used white and blue color, which was applied unevenly. There is another way of antique painting: paint the boards with acrylic paint in 1 layer, wait for the paint to dry, then wipe the surface with sandpaper in some places or over the entire area.

Step 6. It's time to start making the stencil. If you are making a small panel of approximately A4 size or less, then you can simply print the picture below, having first adjusted its dimensions in any photo editor. Then all you have to do is laminate the paper with transparent tape and cut out the silhouette of the rooster using a stationery or craft knife. Voila, the stencil is ready!

If you want to make a panel bigger size, for example, A3 format, then the picture will have to be printed in two parts (or more). To do this, upload the rooster silhouette to rasterbator.net, print the resulting PDF file, cut out the parts, then assemble them like a mosaic. Next, you can laminate the stencil with tape or transfer the outlines of the stencil from office paper to thicker or laminated paper (see photo).

As you can see, on this stencil, in addition to the silhouette of a bird, the French word “Le Coq” (translated as “rooster”) is carved out. You can repeat this idea or come up with your own signature, for example, “Bon appétit!”

Step 7. Secure the stencil to your panel using masking tape and begin painting the silhouette with white paint. Once the paint is dry, sand some areas of the design with fine-grit sandpaper to create an antique effect.

Step 8. Hurray! Almost ready, all that remains is to apply a layer of wax to the panel and polish it. Keep in mind that dark wax will give your panel an even more “shabby” look, while clear wax will simply protect it.

A gift made with your own hands is special, because they put not only the skill of their hands into it, but also a piece of their soul, inspiration, love and Have a good mood! Feng Shui experts say that homemade New Year gifts from loved ones and loved ones are so charged with positive energy that they can become a powerful amulet for their owner for the whole year.

In order to make a bright, beautiful cockerel, you will need to do the following:

Cut out a square from bright fabric. It can be small, medium or large, depending on the size of the toy you want to make.
Separately, take red fabric. Any other color will not work as you will be making the beak and scallop.

You can draw the cockerel yourself, or you can find ready-made stencils. It can also be either voluminous or flat. With children, you can make a cockerel from a yellow cone - look at the photo, and find some more complex and naturalistic solution as a New Year's souvenir.

7. Rooster made of ball and thread

Another very easy way to make a symbol of 2019 is to make a cockerel from a ball and thread. All you need is one or two balloon, bright yellow, orange or red threads, PVA glue, as well as buttons and scraps of fabric or colored paper to decorate the toy and give it a finished look.

How to do:

First, inflate the balloon to the desired size. Then we dip the threads in glue and wrap our ball - tightly or not too tightly, as you like - there we will prepare the frame for our future toy. There is nothing complicated, so this craft can be done using New Year and together with the children. By the way, this can be not only a cockerel, but also any other animal.

After the glue has dried, simply pierce the ball with a needle and pull out the remains from the frame. We have the body of the rooster and his head - if you decide to use two balls. Now we take the buttons and make eyes out of them, gluing them to the frame in the right place. We make wings and a tail from scraps or colored paper and also glue them on. Paws can be made from felt, paper or wire and scraps. Here's what you might end up with:

8. Craft a rooster from felt

You can sew a cockerel not only from fabric or multi-colored scraps, but also from felt. By the way, this is almost the most popular idea, since felt does not crumble and does not need edge processing, which means it will be very easy to make figurines and toys. Simple crafts roosters are made from multi-colored sheets of felt: simply cut out the necessary parts and stick them on top of each other - you get an easy flat craft. But more complex three-dimensional figures from felt will have to be sewn, and here it is better to use ideas already created by someone. Here are four ready-made diagrams on how to make a felt rooster yourself, all you have to do is download, print, apply to fabric and cut out:

Felt cockerel - ready-made diagram

And if you think that this is too difficult, then look at the photos of other figures made from this material, perhaps you will like some idea more. By the way, good does not mean difficult. There are very simple solutions for such crafts that look very cute and are quite suitable for New Year's souvenirs. For example, pay attention to the heart-shaped cockerel.

9. Rooster made from plastic bottles

Plastic bottles are a very popular material for country and children's crafts. Here we have already written about what to make from bottles for your dacha, and today we will tell you how to make a rooster out of them. The easiest craft option is to take one bottle and use colored paper, buttons, disposable tableware and any other available materials to decorate it with the symbol of the New Year.

More complex options are creating voluminous cocks, with which you can decorate your cottage. Here you can no longer do without abstract imagination, the ability to create necessary forms and combine different colors, as ready-made schemes There are simply no such figures. You will have to cut out the “feathers” for the tail and plumage yourself, make a comb and assemble it all into a single shape. But for some, these birds look just like life-like ones - look at the photo for yourself:

10. Crafts from salt dough - rooster

Another popular material for children's crafts is salty dough. It’s not difficult to make, sculpting is as simple as using plasticine, but the figures are stronger and more durable—you don’t have to worry that your child will break everything just because he squeezed his fingers on the toy a little tighter than necessary.

Salt dough cockerel recipe:

Mix 200-250 grams of flour and half a glass or a little more fine sea or regular table salt in a bowl. Add about 150 grams of water and mix everything thoroughly. At the end, pour in 20-30 grams of glue - it is better to use PVA so that the dough holds its shape better and the figures do not fall apart.

Next, we begin to sculpt the figure - we make a body, add a head, attach wings and a tail to it, and also do not forget about the comb and beak. Afterwards we paint with gouache or some special paints. We make all the parts separately, and then glue them together with glue or water. To make small parts and shape them, use a scalp or a thin and sharp knife; when working with children, it is better to take safe plastic tools - a spatula or something that will help you make cuts and create the necessary elements.

Craft - fire rooster

Everyone remembers that 2019 is the year of the fiery rooster, which means that if you are going to make a figurine, then you should focus on these bright colors. It could be a red rooster, orange, yellow, or you can combine all these shades in one toy. You can make such rooster crafts from different materials- from felt and shreds, from fabric and paper, from plastic bottles, cups and other disposable tableware. You can also make a fiery rooster for the New Year from ribbons, tinsel and Christmas tree balls to decorate with such figures christmas tree or use as a craft for kindergarten.

Volume craft rooster with children

If a flat figure is not your thing, why not make volumetric crafts in the shape of a rooster, which can be given to children in kindergarten and given to friends for the New Year? We have already talked about how to knit a cockerel with hooks or sew scraps or fabric - this is the most popular way to make voluminous toys. Crafts for the garden for the year of the rooster are easiest to make from paper, napkins or plasticine, and if everything is clear with plasticine, then with paper you can use various ways, for example, first make a cone out of colored paper, and only then turn it into a cockerel. You can also use techniques such as volumetric quilling or regular or corrugated paper, origami, papier mache and the use of complex patterns and patterns. Does anyone even manage to make a rooster out of cotton pads and sticks, and for the Christmas tree - from Christmas balls, cereals, pasta, coffee beans, cones, chestnuts, acorns and other natural materials.

Bonus: rooster made from cereals for kindergarten

And another bonus craft is a cockerel made from cereals, which can be made for both kindergarten and primary school. You can use a wide variety of cereals; this composition can be made from millet and buckwheat, peas and beans, semolina, rice and other cereals. The more options you have, the more interesting the craft will be - there is a chance to win the competition with your child.

The technology is simple: we draw a cockerel on a piece of paper - parents can do this, and if it’s difficult to draw it yourself, you can always download a ready-made stencil, print it and use it for decoration. Next, use a brush to apply glue to the entire surface that you will fill. natural material. All that remains is to pour in the cereal and let the glue dry. After this, we simply shake off the excess grains and get a finished craft. Cunning: if you use several different grains, then so that they do not mix, it is better to apply layers one by one, “painting” with glue only the areas of the picture that are needed now. But laying out a panel of beans or peas is more difficult - here you will have to place the beans in even rows to each other, having also first applied glue to the paper. Here's what you might end up with:

Photos of rooster crafts

What else can a cockerel be made from? Yes, from anything, from buttons or plastic bottles (you can decorate your garden with such a craft). It can be made of wood or thread, from old things or some other improvised materials, for example, disposable plates. A painting using the quilling technique with a cockerel - the symbol of 2019 - can also be a great gift. From satin ribbons, feathers and beads, you can make decorations for a cockerel from paper or fabric.
