Goat has long been considered the guardian of young girls. It symbolizes well-being in the house, is the wet-nurse of the family. Often in a pair of it wield goat. Our ancestors identified him with courage, an abundance of vitality, the emergence of large offspring and a high level of fertility.

But this process will bring a lot of pleasure and joy, and the result of your efforts will not spoil during the years. Consider the most common technique for making this amulet.

What is needed for this?

First, prepare materials and tools that will be useful in the work:

- a string of twine rope;

- glue gun;

- beautiful braid;

- ribbon from satin;

- ordinary thread and woolen red;

- a needle;

- accessories (for example, sequins and beads);

- fabric for making clothes;

- scissors;

- small artificial fruit and a cap from the shampoo for the basket, which will keep your New Year goat.

Where to begin?

Wrap the main rope around the base. This can be a rectangular piece of cardboard or a small book. Remove the resulting ring and cut it from one side. Form a bundle, pull in the middle of a red woolen thread.

In the same place, attach a separate piece of twine. Then fold the workpiece in half and, stepping back slightly from the folding position, wind it across the newly tied piece of twine. The top of this composition will be the muzzle of our animal.

The whole goat itself is formed as follows. Divide the strings hanging freely, on even halves and go to the creation of separate parts of the body. Also cut 24 identical strips from the rope.

Working on the details

Weave one pigtail from 12 threads and two more - each of six. The first part will serve to create the hands of the figurine, and the rest you use to form the ears and horns. Thus, you will get a real goat from a twine. The master class to achieve this goal advises you to follow these steps.

Fold one of the small braids with a figure eight and fasten it with a thread in the middle to hold the shape. You got ears. Insert them together with the second thin pigtail (these will be horns) in the previously prepared bundle.

Wrap a piece of the workpiece underneath a pair of twine turns, thread the finished handles into it and secure them. The goat itself is almost ready. Now you need to plant it on the top of the bottle cut off from the bottle and start making a skirt.

We are engaged in decorating

Take a small piece of cloth and walk along its edge with the simplest seam. Pull the ends of the thread to make the pattern shrink and form a cone. Sew the bottom edge of the product with braid, decorate it with beads, applique or any other decorative elements. Put a ready skirt on the figure and fix the thread on the waist.

Your New Year goat should have eyes. They can be made from small cardboard circles: draw a marker on a white background with colored pupils, cut out the workpiece and paste. Also as a material is excellent ceramic clay, from which you can blind any shapes. Alternatively, sew two beads or buttons.

Tie on the horns of his beautiful neat bows of fine satin ribbon. If you want, attach a headscarf to her or put a handkerchief out of a square cloth flap that blends well with the skirt.

At this stage, the goat is finally formed from the twine. The master class recommends that you complement its image with a beautiful basket with vegetables or fruits. To make this accessory, use a small cap from under the shampoo or perfume. Also for this case, half of the "kinder-surprise" package will do.

Lubricate the substrate with superglue and tightly coat it with twine. Wait until the walls dry, put the contents of the basket inside and glue it to the handle of the figurine.

Making a goat

You can also make a goat in a pair for your little animal. It must be made from plaits of different thicknesses. So, for the body you need 25 cuts, for hands - two dozen, for ears and horns - 6 accordingly.

Braid all these rope groups separately, except the body. Fast rewind their edges. Match the edges with scissors so that they look neat, and cut off all that is superfluous. Now go to work on the muzzle. Attach to the central part of the remaining bundle a few ropes (this will be a beard) and rewind them with a red thread (mouth).

Then go to the formation of the head. Fold the workpiece in half and smooth it. Without touching freely stranded strands of beard, tie the main bunch at the top. Now bend the pigtail to the eights with a figure eight and insert it between the strands. These are ears. Put in the same future horns.

Collect the formed composition together, smooth out and correct its elements so that at you the head was formed. Secure the structure by wrapping the area under it with a thread. Apply it with a layer about a centimeter-two wide (you will have a neck) and, without cutting the thread, go to the next step. Insert a pigtail into the body (the goat's scheme will tell you how to do it correctly) and continue wrapping to form the body.

Final touches

New crafts of twine should be not only beautiful, but also sustainable. To make legs for goat, after finishing work with the body, twist the remaining threads into two pigtails. Turn them around and wrap them completely. To make the animal more dense, you can add several layers of rope cover on its body or even put a little sintepon under it.

Sew for a toy suit of rags. The material is suitable for beautiful handkerchiefs. Decorate the clothes. Make a base for the handicrafts or attach the eyelets to them so that you can hang them somewhere.

Now you have a beautiful goat and a goat from the twine. A master class on their creation will help you make wonderful New Year decorations or amulets for close people who were born under the sign of this animal.
