Interesting piece of artwork - a lamb from cotton wands

All children know what cotton wands are and why they are needed. But if you show them how to make toys from them, the kids will just be delighted. After all, they like to cut, invent something, glue. Children can realize a variety of ideas, you just need to push it, give them an idea. One of these ideas is a handmade wadding stick.

The first craft

It is very simple to make a lamb of cotton buds, the photo of which is presented below. For him we will need: cotton buds, scissors, tight white cardboard, two wooden clothespins, glue, black felt-tip pen, colored ribbon. First we will prepare from a cardboard preparations of a head and a trunk. From the cotton buds cut the tips. We take the preparation of the trunk and from the tail we glue our "wool". It should be done carefully, tightly adjusting the sticks to each other.

Now we'll make a head. On the edge of the oval we glue two sticks-ears on each side and three in the middle - it will be a chelochka, the top will be decorated with a ribbon in the form of a bow. Draw a felt-tip pen, eyes, nose, mouth. It remains to glue the head to the trunk and the clothes on the back of the trunk - these will be the legs. Here the lamb is ready.

If you make one more exactly the same torso and paste it on the back side, you will get a large lamb of cotton buds with your own hands.

From the "Kinder"

Let's look at another option for creating a wondrous little animal. How to make a piece of "Sheep" of cotton buds. For this option, we prepare the egg from the kinder-surprise, scissors, cotton buds, awl, plasticine. On the egg, you need to make a puncture with an awl so that you can insert a previously cut-off stick. Punctures should be done in such a way that the sticks are end-to-end with each other. We do so on the whole surface, with the exception of the front part, on which of the white plasticine we will mold the muzzle with the eyes and the mouth, we will make the ears out of the sticks.

For the legs of the wand should take a little more authentic. You can send this lamb "graze" on the lawn. To do this, take the lid from the mayonnaise bucket, we put on it a layer of plasticine green. It will be grass. To make it look more pristine, from green paper we make grassy hummocks, as well as a clearing can be decorated with small flowers.

Application

You can make an applique "Lamb". For it, we prepare cardboard, scissors, cotton buds, glue, a piece of a lace, a frame for a photo. From a cardboard we cut out a circle, on it on a contour we start to paste cotton wands until they will converge in the center. The trunk is ready. Now make a head. Cut it out of cardboard, decorate with a bang (5-6 sticks, cut to a minimum), ears, eyes, draw a mouth.

Next we need black cardboard. We paste the body and head on it. For the legs, let's take a thin white lace, the same wadding stick will be the hoof. Carefully connect with the trunk. We got the applique "Sheepskin" made of cotton buds. It can be inserted into the frame. Such an article can be a wonderful gift for the New Year, as well as for a man who was born in the year of a goat or under the sign of Aries.

From the iron lid

The work of "lamb" made of cotton buds can be made on the basis of an iron lid, inside which a thick layer of clay is applied. First make the legs of paper. Then we attach the pre-made head. After that, into the clay, tightly to each other we put in the cotton buds. The handicraft is ready.

Curly lamb

Very curly will turn a lamb from cotton buds with their own hands, if a prepared billet of the trunk is to glue the cotton wool, which must be removed from the cotton swab. Then we also add the head prepared in advance, we decorate the bang with a colored bow, we attach the legs.

From salted dough

And here is another lamb from cotton buds. To make it, we prepare a cotton wool disc, a piece of salted dough and cotton buds. We begin to make crafts. From the salted dough you need to fashion a lamb's head. Denote it eyes, nose, mouth. Also we will lick ears and hooves. Now we place everything in the center of the wadded disk and from the cropped cotton buds we make a sheaf for the lamb. That's such a funny little creature turned out.

Toy and plate

A very original lamb from cotton buds is obtained if it is decorated with decorative flowers or rhinestones. Such a toy can be hung on the tree. Only in advance to it it is necessary to make a loop. And if you decorate such animals in different ways, then the tree will look very elegant.

The lamb from cotton buds can be used for the most unexpected purposes. For example, at the birthday of your child, you can put it next to the plate instead of a table with the name of the guest. Invited will be interesting to look for lamb with its name and then you can take it as a memorable thing.

A small conclusion

Here are some interesting toys made from cotton wands. And if you consider that they are always in every house, then you can take the child at any time. As a result, the toy will turn out to be funny, and the kid will acquire the skills that he needs, which will be useful in life.
