Good day, dear colleagues! Walking through the expanses of the maaam website, I admire how many wonderful crafts you can see here! How talented creative people present us with their interesting works! Now the work of decorating the groups is in full swing in all gardens. Everyone is trying to do something interesting, to please the guys. Crafts and Christmas tree decorations competitions are held everywhere. Our garden is no exception to this. So my grandson and I also had to do something make. 2014, as we already know, is the year of blue horses. Many different crafts - horses I met you on your pages. They are all beautiful and interesting. My grandson and I thought, we thought and also decided make a horse. Just not from paper, but from thread. Svyatoslav helped me wind the threads and cut them. Well, I did the rest myself. Today I present to you, good friends, master-class of its manufacture. I used acrylic threads blue.

1. Take some rectangular object (we took the book).

2. Wind the threads around the book along it. When the threads are of considerable thickness, tie them on one side of the book.

3. Cut the threads on the other side of the book. Align both sides so they are the same.

4. Insert some kind of base into both halves (I took juice straws) and tie both halves at the bottom, leaving a little, as if it were hooves.

5. Where the threads are tied, fold the halves together and squeeze from the tip, like a muzzle, and wrap the threads.

6. Having stepped back a little, leaving some space on the head, also wrap it with threads.

7. Set the completed half aside. We take the book again and also wind the threads on the second half.

8. The threads are not tied on this half. Only on the other side the books are cut again.

9. Insert the base again (it is needed in order to the horse could stand, also tie both cut halves and tie at the bottom.

10. Bend the threads in the middle, connect so that both halves are the same

11. Take the first half made horses and the second one too. We find the middle of the second half, wrap it around the first part, separating the legs and neck, wrap it with threads near the neck.

12. Extend the torso (second half horses, bend, lowering the legs, where the torso and legs are separated, tie them with threads.

13. To the horse didn't fall, you need to wrap threads around the middle of the body

14. Here is ours the horse is almost ready. It remains to add details to it.

15. Take threads of a different color (I took yellow threads) and now we wind it across the book. Repeat everything like the first time. Tie in the middle. Just don’t tie the ends (this is the mane).

16. Repeat the same thing - this will be the tail.

17. We tie the tail at the back.

18. We wrap a piece of juice tube with blue threads, glue it on the ends, bend it into 3 parts, put the tube under the threads on the top of the head - these are the ears.

19. We tie the mane between the ears. That's it. The horse is ready. Place it and let it decorate yours festive table, like a talisman of the coming year.

Symbol of 2014 made of threads

How to make something like this simple material? You will find the answer to this question in the following instructions. Prepare the following materials for work:

threads of two colors;
wire;
beads - 2 pieces;
“grass” yarn or decorative fur (5-6 centimeters);
scissors.

How to make a horse with your own hands from threads: description of the process

We twist the frame from the wire. To do this, we make a figure in the form of the number “2” - this will be the head, neck and torso of the animal. We screw four more “legs” to this base: two in front of the frame and two in the back.
We prepare the threads. We measure the length of the wire from the head to the end of the body, multiply this figure by two. We get the size of the threads to decorate this part of the figure. Then we measure the length of the leg and also double the resulting number. And the third measurement is the ponytail. The thread for it will be about the same size as for the leg. Next, cut all the bunches according to size and arrange them into piles. To perform the legs, prepare two identical sets. The more threads you take, the more voluminous your horse will be.
Leg design. Through the wire frame, where the parts of the front legs are attached, throw a bunch of threads and tie these blanks to each leg with the same yarn. Do it in a spiral. Design the rear legs in the same way.
Execution of the head and torso. Fold the longest bundle of threads in half and tie it in the middle with a red thread. This will form the horse's mouth. Next, attach the bundle to the head and wrap the product, laying out and securing the threads throughout the body.
Making the tail. Throw a piece of yarn for this part of the product through the frame from below - where the hind legs are attached, and secure along the top (on the back) with threads. Fluff your ponytail.
Design of details. Glue on the beady eyes. Make the mane from grass yarn, knitting a chain of air loops. Sew this part onto the figure. You can make a mane from a piece of decorative fur.

That's all. You now know how to make a toy horse from threads. It can be supplemented with a bridle made of thread and a saddle made of a piece of fabric. This craft can also serve Christmas tree decoration. All you need to do is tie a ribbon loop to it.

What can a horse be made from? Made from fabric and coffee!

Surely, you are surprised by this combination of materials to create the symbol of 2014. The next master class will tell you how to make a fragrant coffee horse. For work you will need the following materials:

knitted or cotton fabric;
threads;
needle;
filler;
brush or foam sponge;
paper pattern;
instant coffee;
acrylic paints.

How to make a horse with your own hands from textiles? First of all, make a pattern out of paper and transfer it to fabric folded in half. Cut out two identical textile pieces. Sew the product, leaving a small hole. Fill the workpiece with filler (sintepon, holofiber) through it. Sew up the hole. Dilute the coffee (a small spoon) with warm water (50 grams) and use a sponge or brush to “paint” the product with this solution. Dry the horse and coat it with coffee again. After complete drying acrylic paints draw eyes, nose and mouth. You can also make patterns throughout the product. That's all, the fragrant souvenir - the horse - is ready!

We hope that the selection of these materials will help you make your own New Year symbol. Such products can become not only original and beautiful decorations in your home, but also great gifts for friends and colleagues.

Cute motanka dolls, which are used with pleasure to decorate interiors in a folk style, and simply to decorate a child’s room, living room, or kitchen. Making them is pleasant and not very difficult, so the idea of making such a doll can be used, including for children's activities.
The words of a beautiful song evoke romantic, lyrical notes, song, performed by a group"Earthlings" is still a pleasure to listen to.
"...Burning in the wind
The red horse is proud.
He hits the ground with his hoof,
Silence drinks from the river
My childhood, red horse."

What does this fantastic red horse look like, what is it like?
Let's imagine him in one of the images.
To work you will need yarn, about 50 g, red, white yarn, about 25 g, a tall plastic bottle, scissors, a frame for winding threads, you can use a book with it.
The red horse is made entirely by winding threads. This simple technology allows you to make various fun toys.
But first, in order to get a stable conic that will confidently rest on all four legs, we will make supports for the limbs from plastic bottle.

To do this, cut out two strips 1 cm wide along the entire length of a one and a half liter plastic bottle. We bend them in half, in this form they will become a strengthening base for the horse’s legs.

We use a book as a frame for wrapping. We wind red threads into two identical tight wraps parallel to each other. The more yarn is wound, the larger the toy will be.

We tie the winding tightly with additional thread on one side. Cut on the other side. We get two identical strands of yarn intercepted in the center.

We form a horse's head from one strand. To do this, tie the strand folded in half with the next additional thread, stepping back from the central tie by the width of your thumb. We bend the strand slightly to further create the curve of the neck.
We use the second strand to make the body. We draw it around the workpiece from the first strand, so that the tied part is in the center, forming the chest of the horse. We tie the second strand with additional thread. Now the two strands are connected at right angles.

Now is the time to use plastic leg inserts. To do this, we divide the first strand in half, tie the plastic insert at the bend with the same thread from which we make the toy, and fasten it with a double knot to the junction of the strands in the chest part, inside, under the threads. The front legs are obtained by intercepting a forked strand with a plastic insert inside twice with a thread.

We do the hind legs in the same way, securing the threads around the plastic insert. We cut the lower threads until they are even. As a result, there should be 8 interception ties on both strands.
All that remains is to complete the mane and tail. We also make them using the winding method using white yarn. We wind the yarn onto the same frame or book, only along the short side.

Just like last time, we get two tight wraps. We tie it tightly, intercepting each wrap on one side. We cut one along the opposite fold, this is the tail. We tie it to the back of the horse. We tie the second wrap with a second additional thread and cut it in half, getting two half-strands.

Dear guys and respected teachers, it is a well-known fact that the things we made with love and good mood, bring great benefits, a lot of joy. We invite you to plunge into the world of fantasy with us...

We'll teach you guys how to make cool horses,

To New Year was a joy to all people.

Our cute horses will save your friendly home,

And luck will not rush away, it will help in everything

For this we need:

1. Knitting threads, color as desired, or twine;

2. Wire that bends well;

3.Pliers;

4. Scissors;

5. Glue "Titan";

6. Decorations (rhinestones, ribbons, etc.) optional.

Step-by-step process of making a horse

1. To begin with, we take the wire and make the frame of our horses. To work with wire, you must use pliers or other tools designed for this type of work.

3. We wind until we have the silhouette of a horse, and give it a shape

4. We begin to decorate the horse, in our case we take white yarn and make a tail and mane, you can use any other material - rain, any other New Year's tinsel etc..

In order to make a mane, you need to cut 15-20 pieces of thread measuring 3-4 cm and tie them in the middle to a piece of thread measuring 5-6 cm. Carefully glue the resulting mane to the horse’s neck. We do the same with the tail, only the size of the threads will be 7-8 cm and they are tied in one place, and then glued. The glue must be applied carefully so that no traces remain.

DIY “horse” made from threads

Required materials:

Wool blend or acrylic threads;
- “Iris metallic” threads;
- scissors;
- frame for photos in A4 format;
- glue “Moment crystal”;
- pieces of leather, fabric, felt;
- decorative eyes;
- beads, braid for decoration;
- copper wire.
Step by step description works:
1. Let's start by making preparations for the future horse.
To do this, we wind threads around a photo frame.
(the number of turns depends on the thickness of the threads, I have about 80).

This is how the piece of thread was made from pieces of thread.
3. Fold the thread blank exactly in half and tie it with thread
the same color.

4. Form the horse’s muzzle. To do this, use a piece of thread
stepping back from the bend line of the workpiece, one centimeter,
make a few turns and tie it in a knot.

5. We make another constriction just below the first one, forming the horse’s head.

6. Insert a wire bent in half into the threads.

We distribute the threads around the wire.

7. We wrap the second bunch of threads around the “chest” of the horse and bandage it.

8. We insert the wire into the middle and make another constriction,
creating the body of a horse.

9. We begin to form the hind legs. To do this, divide the bundle of threads
into two equal parts. We distribute the threads around the wires and make
three constrictions. After this, you can trim off the excess threads and wire.

10. We form the front legs and make constrictions in two places.
11. Using “Iris metallic” threads we make a mane and tail.
We attach the mane with glue.
