DIY crafts in the form of roosters will be relevant not only for the holidays in the New Year 2017, but also every year for Easter. And without them, it is simply impossible to imagine an interior in the style of Provence, country or rustic. In this article, we presented 6 step-by-step master classes on how to make cute crafts in the form of roosters for decorating a house, a Christmas tree or a festive table from improvised and even junk materials.

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

Looking at this elegant candy bowl, it’s hard to imagine that you can make it yourself, and even from ... cardboard boxes for eggs. In fact, to make such a handsome man, it will not take much time, nor the skills of an artist-sculptor. By the way, even a child can do most of the work, so this great idea Christmas crafts for school or kindergarten.

You can decorate with such a candy festive table and surprise your guests. However, it can be filled not only with sweets, but also with tangerines, small presents for contests, notes with predictions. And the cockerel can be put under the Christmas 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.

Instruction:

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 building feathers to cones: the head will consist of 5 feathers, the second cone (throat) will consist of 6 feathers, the third cone will consist of 8, the fourth will consist of 10, the fifth will consist of 12 feathers. And finally, make the sixth blank, but already 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 build feathers, use adhesive tape, gluing it on the inside of the blanks.

Step 3. For now, set aside the cones and cut out the beak, comb and beard of the rooster. The scallop just needs to be drawn and cut. To make a beard, you need to cut a blank from two sidewalls of adjacent cells of the tray (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 a rooster, namely the head and throat. Glue all the cones, starting with the smallest and ending with the largest, using a hot glue gun. Glue also 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 tail of the rooster from the covers from the trays (4 feathers should be obtained from one cover).

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

1. inflate balloon and cut strips from white office paper and strips from old newspapers.
2. Tightly cover the entire ball with strips soaked in PVA glue (glue can be slightly diluted with water). The first and last layers must be white. There should be at least 4 layers of paper in total.
3. The next day, when the paper is completely dry, pop the ball and cut the resulting "egg" into two unequal parts (one half should be slightly larger). Then put a small part in a large one and glue it to make the bowl strong.

Step 8. Attach the head of the rooster to the stomach with a cardboard backing (on the inside). Glue wings and tail to the body of the rooster with hot glue. Our craft in the form of a rooster already looks surprisingly believable!

Step 9 Now it's time to color the candy box. You can choose the shades of paint to your taste, because roosters are different and it is not at all necessary to achieve complete realism. Perhaps your rooster will even be beautiful in all-gold plumage? In the same project, shiny paints were used for the paws, beak, comb and beards, and mother-of-pearl for painting feathers.

Pay attention to the fact that the color transitions on the cockerel are made smoothly - from pearl white to gold and then to green.

Step 10. In order to provide more stability to your candy bowl, glue some kind of square support to the bowl and, of course, two paws made from cones with 3 petals. Finally, paint the paws, fill the bowl with candy and put your handsome man in the most prominent place. Now he is ready to cheer up all the guests at the New Year or Easter table!

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

In the upcoming 2017, the Christmas tree must be decorated with decorations in the form of roosters. Do it with your own hands Christmas decorations lighter and best made of 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 form of heart roosters with your own hands.

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

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

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

And here is 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 the Christmas tree or the walls of the house.

Instruction:

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

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

Step 3. Put 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 it remains only to color the cockerels to your taste.

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

The silhouette of a rooster, painted on roughly folded old boards, will be a great decoration, rustic or. And a panel with the symbol of 2017 can be great 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 will also work. Whatever boards you pick up, fresh or old, they need to be cleaned and dried before making crafts.
• Saw or jigsaw.
• Small nails.
• Hammer.
• Stain or acrylic paint of the desired color for the background. If desired, you can use chalk paints, which are sold ready-made or diluted independently (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 for the silhouette of a rooster.
• Colorless matte primer for wood (preferably).
• Matte varnish (preferably).
• Brushes.
• Fine grain sandpaper.
• Pencil.
• Paper.
• Stationery or craft knife and scissors.
• Wax for wood transparent or dark (optional).

Instruction:

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: Fold the Main Boards front side down, align them, then lay two smaller boards across as shown in the photo below. Now nail each board to the crossbeams.

Step 4. Clean the surface of dust, then apply a primer to the panel in 1-2 layers, allowing each layer to dry. This step is optional as we want a rough and "antique" wood and paint look, but a primer is still needed if you want to extend the life of your painting and make it easier to care for.

Step 5. Now you need to paint the boards, that is, create a background for our rooster. To create the effect of faded paint, a water-based stain of white and blue color applied unevenly. There is another way to paint antique: paint the boards acrylic paint in 1 coat, wait for the paint to dry, then rub the surface with sandpaper in some places or over the entire area.

Step 6. It's time to start making a stencil. If you are making a small panel of approximately A4 size or less, then you can simply print the picture below, after adjusting 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 a rooster using a clerical or breadboard 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 details, then assemble them as a mosaic. Then you can laminate the stencil with adhesive tape or transfer the stencil contours 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” (trans. “rooster”) is carved. You can repeat this idea or come up with your own signature, for example, "Bon appétit!"

Step 7. Fix the stencil on your panel with masking tape and start painting the silhouette with white paint. When the paint is dry, sand some areas of the drawing with fine-grained sandpaper to create an antique effect.

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

Crafts in the year of the Rooster 2017: video.

Video tips from bloggers. How to make crafts for the New Year of the Rooster 2017 with your own hands.

Hello, friends! Isn't it time for us to wish you a Happy New Year? It's already December 6th on the calendar. It's probably too early though. But it’s time to start making all kinds of different holiday paraphernalia.

Today on the ShkolaLa blog there is a master class called “Do-it-yourself Rooster craft for the New Year!” The rooster is a symbol of the upcoming 2017. Therefore, this leader of the poultry yard on the eve of the main magical holiday is especially popular with small and large needleworkers.

Today we will show you how to make three cute roosters. Believe me, it's not that difficult. The main thing is to carefully look at the photo, read the descriptions and repeat after us. Let's start with the cockerel corrugated cardboard.

Beautiful corrugated cardboard rooster

For work we need:

• colored corrugated cardboard;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• doll eyes (if they are not there, then half beads will do or eyes can be cut out of black cardboard);
• silver sequins (or something else for decoration, beautiful and shiny).

From a sheet of brown cardboard cut out 4 strips. Their length is 28 cm (this is the length of a sheet of cardboard), and their width is 2 cm.

We take the first strip and turn it into a roll, fix the tip with glue.

Then, on the same roll, fixing the ends with glue, we wind the remaining three strips. We get this drum. This is the body of our future cockerel.

From the same sheet of cardboard we cut out three more strips 1.5 cm wide.

We roll them into one roll. We get a blank for the head of a rooster. It is slightly smaller than the body.

From a sheet of green corrugated cardboard, cut out seven strips 1 cm wide.

We also roll them into one roll. This will be the rooster stand. In total, we got three such blanks.

Let's take care of the head. First, let's make a comb. To do this, cut out three strips of 1 cm wide from red cardboard.

And from each strip we make a roll. We get three red drums.

Now the beak. From yellow cardboard, cut out a rectangle 4 cm long and 1 cm wide.

We fold it with the letter "M"

Glue the "legs" of the letter "M" to the middle. It turns out here is such a beak in the form of a checkmark.

For the beard, cut out a rectangle 3 cm long and 1 cm wide.

We glue the detail in the form of a droplet.

Now we glue the beak, beard and comb to the head of the rooster.

And then doll eyes. Eyes need to be glued on both sides of the head.

Let's make wings for the rooster. To do this, cut out two strips 1 cm wide from yellow corrugated cardboard.

Note! Two stripes are for one wing. For two wings, you need to cut four stripes.

From these two strips you need to twist the roll. Roll the roll on a pencil.

There should be a small hole inside. The figurine vaguely resembles a bagel.

Now we press on one side of our bagel with our fingers. We get just such a drop. The wing is ready.

We do the second wing in the same way.

Glue the wings on both sides to the body.

And the body itself is glued to the green stand. And from red cardboard we cut out a rectangle 3 cm long, 2 cm wide. Let's make paws out of it.

We glue the rectangle in the form of a droplet.

And glue our paws between the body and the stand.

Now, with the help of glue, we connect the body and head of the rooster.

The symbol of the year is almost ready! The main thing is missing - a chic tail. Now let's deal with him. Preparing another batch of cardboard strips different color. We took yellow, blue and green. All stripes are 1 cm wide. Now about the length: the longest - 10 cm, medium - 7 cm, short - 4 cm.

We glue small pieces in the form of droplets.

Glue medium-sized strips onto small droplets.

And then the longest. Feathers are ready.

We connect the feathers in the tail.

Glue the finished tail to the body.

And one more important point To hold the tail more securely, connect the top feather and comb with glue.

The rooster is ready, and look it will crow! Since the craft is New Year's, we will decorate our bird with sequins.

Such a cockerel is not ashamed to take it to school, and to kindergarten.

Cockerel Brothers

Next in line are a couple more symbols of the New Year. We called them brothers, because they are similar to each other like twins, only feathers, wings and tails are different. They are made in different technique. We will make two roosters in parallel. You can choose and do the one you like best.

To make such roosters, prepare:

• a sheet of white cardboard;
• colored paper(it is better if it is two-sided);
• ruler;
• scissors;
• glue;
• pencil;
• braid "zig-zag";
• doll eyes;
• sequins.

On a sheet of white cardboard, draw a circle with a diameter of about 9 cm. Since our compasses hit somewhere, we circled the plate.

Cut out the circle.

Fold the circle in half and cut along the fold line into two parts.

From each semicircle we will make a cone. In total, we got two cones. This is the basis for the body of the birds.

And now we will make the bases for their heads. From the same white cardboard, we cut out two rectangles 8 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. Let's mark a gluing line on rectangular blanks (about 5 mm wide). At the same time, cut out strips for scallops from red colored paper. They are 7.5 cm long and 2 cm wide.

We make our scallops wavy.

We glue them to the blanks of rooster heads.

We glue the blanks. We get two heads.

Now glue the heads to the bodies. The basics are ready! You can start decorating.

Now we will act separately. Let's start with the rooster, for the decoration of which you will need zig-zag ribbons. Glue colored ribbons on the cockerel's body. We get such a beautiful and bright plumage.

We will also make wings from ribbons. We cut them into segments 7 cm long. For each wing, we use 5 ribbons.

We fold the ribbons like a fan and glue them to the body on both sides.

Since the wings turned out to be long, we bend them in half and glue them to the body. The wings are ready!

We make the tail according to the same principle. Only we take longer ribbons - 10 cm.

And glue the tail to the back of the body.

Now let's deal with the second cockerel. We will make feathers for him from colored paper. Cut out colored triangles. Lots of triangles.

Glue the triangles to the cockerel's body, starting from the bottom. Glue smear only the upper side of the triangle. We leave the lower corner free of glue and slightly lift it from the body. The first tier is ready.

So gradually stick tier by tier on the body. Each subsequent finds a little on the previous one. We decorated the cockerel's neck with a yellow ribbon on top.

Wings will be made from colored stripes. For each wing, cut out 5 strips 6 cm long and 5-7 mm wide.

You need to curl the feathers a little. To do this, wind them on a pencil. We get such curls.

We glue the feathers with a fan.

And glue them on the sides of the body.

We do the tail in the same way. Cut out 9 colored strips 10 cm long and 5-7 mm wide.

Curl them with a pencil.

We glue with a fan.

And glue it to the back of the body like this.

Here they are our handsome men) Only faces are missing. Now we will fix it.

First, we will make beards for the roosters. Cut out small strips 1cm x 3cm. And we mow them a little.

We glue blanks for beards in the form of eyelets.

Glue the beards in place.

We cut out small rhombuses from yellow paper, fold them in half, we get beaks.

These beaks are glued on top of the beards. And at the same time glue the eyes.

Decorate the cockerels with sequins. As a result, we got such a cockerel decorated with braid.

And here it is decorated with colored paper.

And here are our brothers together. They stand and promise us happiness, health and good luck in the coming 2017.

Blog "SchoolLa" wishes you the same!

Cockerels made of paper and on paper

Making cards with the kids

In it you will find not only a lot of ideas, but also get acquainted with the basic rules for creating postcards.

Any cockerel drawn by your child can be placed on a postcard. If it’s difficult for the kid to figure out how to draw a rooster with his own hands, then show him this step-by-step instruction:

And then, a matter of technology. Cut out the cockerel and make it the central part of the composition. For example, your postcard can be so simple, but cute. At work, use christmas paper and a bright red ribbon, add snowflakes, twigs and other holiday paraphernalia. When you have a basic idea, the process of creating a postcard becomes much easier!

Take note of the idea with a cockerel on a stick, as on a postcard by Elena Yurchenko. Her cockerels are cut out of felt, but you can cut them out of paper.

Colored paper roosters

Colored paper appliqué can also be placed on greeting card. But such an application itself can act as a postcard. To draw and carefully cut out all the details, the children will need the help of their parents, but they can stick it themselves.

Olga-15 offers to make funny paper cockerels in her master class.

A Rooster blank is a rectangular sheet of flexible paper or thin cardboard folded in half lengthwise. Its size is 13.5 × 10 cm. We make 7-10 inclined cuts along the fold line (after about 1 cm). The angle of their inclination is 50-70 degrees, and the depth is ¾ of the height of the folded sheet.

Ekaterina Ivanova in her video tutorial shows how to make a red rooster using the Origami technique:

Roosters in quilling technique

A very interesting idea is to lay out only a luxurious rooster tail from quilling paper. It's not as confusing as laying out a whole cockerel, and it can turn out very effectively! Here is a rooster without a tail as a basis (how it looked in the original, see the photo below).

Print it on a color printer, and fantasize over the tail later. As an example - one such work (although the tail is modest here, but you will try, right?))

And if you are not afraid to make a whole rooster using the Quilling technique, then you can take this finished postcard as a basis:

Or this template:

A cheat sheet on the main elements of Quilling to help you:

Button appliqué

And here are absolutely stunning handsome roosters, lined with multi-colored buttons, half-beads, rhinestones and beads! As a basis, you can take the contours of cockerels from our archive (link just above).

Crochet Cockerels

Many needlewomen with a hook on “you” and will be happy to knit a cockerel from multi-colored threads. And "Cross" will help you decide on the model and offer several master classes on this type of needlework.

You can also buy cockerels knitted from Svetlana.

Roosters from felt

The fastest and complex options creating the symbol of 2017 - felt roosters. The material is easy to process, keeps the shape of the toy well, does not require seams. Vice versa, hand seams on the face of the product give it a special flavor and charm.

Tops from plastic bottles must be cut and fastened with adhesive tape, as shown in the picture.

From disposable plates we make such a wonderful tail to our Red Fire Rooster.
