TOY MADE OF POLYETHYLENE "CHICK"

Send

Good afternoon. Many now do different beautiful things with their own hands, even toys. It turns out that they can not only be sewn or knitted, you can also make fluffy and funny toys from polyethylene. Today we will make a chick toy. For this we need:
- Cardboard (white and red).
- A pencil.
- Scissors.
- Polyethylene.
- The wire.
- Decorative eyes.
- Glue.
First we take a cardboard and draw on it two circles of different diameters. One circle should be smaller, the second larger.

In the center of each circle we draw another circle, again of a smaller diameter.

Cut out. As a result, you should get two rings of a smaller and two rings of a larger diameter.

Now take polyethylene of any color. I took the lilac. We cut it into strips with a width of 0.5-1 cm.

Take two rings of smaller diameter, put them together and make a pompom. Just start wrapping the ring with our stripes. The more turns there are, the more fluffy the pompom will be.

As soon as you run out of strip, take another, apply it to the place where the strip ended and wrap it around the ring again. We continue to do so until the hole inside becomes small.

Now you need to use the scissors to cut the strips. We cut our ring in a circle, without cutting cardboard discs.

Now we push the cardboard discs a little bit, poke a thread between them and pull our pompom together, tie it, leaving the tips. We tear open cardboard rings and take them out, we no longer need them.

We trim the protruding threads with scissors. The pompom is ready. This will be the head of the chick.

Now let's take a larger ring. The principle of operation is the same, only we leave a larger hole.

Take a wire 24 centimeters long. Fold it in half, but the ends should be connected to each other in the middle. We fix them with tape.

Pull the wire through the ring. Now you can cut the threads on the ring around the circumference in the same way as on the previous one. We tie with a thread, leaving ponytails, and trim the excess. That's it, and this pompom is ready - it will be the body of the chick.

Now we connect the ends of the left threads, connecting the pompons with each other.

Take cardboard and cut four wings out of it. Lubricate the two blanks with glue and glue them on the wire so that it is between them. Pre-shape the wire wings. With the second wing, we do the same.

Now we need polyethylene again. Cut the strips 3 cm wide, fold them in half and cut the fringe along the edge.

Straighten the fringe. Using glue, we fix one end on the wing and wrap the entire wing (in several places you can also fix it with glue), we also glue the second end.

We do the second wing in the same way.

We take a cardboard of red color. Cut a 2x3 centimeter rectangle out of it. Make a cone and trim the edges.

Glue the beak to the head.

Now you need to glue decorative eyes. If you do not have such an eye, do not despair. They can easily be made from blister packs (pill packs), beads and white cardboard, or simply colored paper.
