If there is a boy or two boys in your house (as in my case :)), or even three or more little tomboy, then it is likely that one day at a calm Sunday breakfast you will hear something like: "Why are we all without horses , yes, without horses ... "And here it will immediately become clear to you that the task has been set and you urgently need to do something about it :). I suggest you do not suffer for a long time with this issue, but make a horse on a stick with your own hands. I assure you that making such a horse is very easy! And it will take quite a bit of time for this. And the emotions of your boys when meeting these horses will exceed all your expectations! :)

So, we need:

Horse head filler (holofiber, synthetic winterizer, cotton wool - whatever you find),

Stick 1-1.2 m long,

Threads, scissors and about 1 hour of time :)

Well, let's get started :)

We fill the sock with filler - quite plump, leaving about 4-5 cm empty at the entrance.

We cut the yarn into threads of approximately the same length. The thickness of the mane will depend on the number of threads.

We cut out blanks for the ears from cardboard - in my case there are two of them: one is larger, the second is about 1 cm smaller. This is a purely decorative moment, in principle, you can make them as you like.

We put the mane on the head of the future horse. For the convenience of sewing, the threads can be pulled together with an elastic band under the "chin" of our workpiece.

The mane is very quickly, simply and conveniently sewn with a buttonhole seam. The photo shows how to make a loop and where the needle goes.

The result is such a beautiful seam :)

Using cardboard blanks, cut out the ears from felt. Felt is a very grateful material for such crafts for children and any other decorative things. It is quite dense, keeps its shape well, the edges do not crumble, which is very convenient, since it allows you to do original things quite quickly and without using special tools for processing the edges. You can buy felt of different colors.

Fold them as shown in the photo and grab them with a few stitches to set their shape.

You should have something like this.

We sew the ears to the horse's head.

Bend the edge where the seams are visible so that everything looks like this from the front.

Now we will make a bridle. We do everything as simple and fast as possible. We wrap the horse's face with tape so that the volume is clear. Then carefully remove it and sew it.

We sew them on the face.

Well, on this, the work on the image of the horse can already be considered completed. But our imagination roamed, and we decided to make her - that is, him :) - also a mustache. They just cut them out of felt and sewn them on.

Now we fix our horse on a stick, tightly tying the end of the sock with threads.

And here he is - our handsome man! :)

Well, so that the second sock does not go to waste, you can make him such a fighting friend :)

Her lips are also sewn from felt and stuffed with a little filler.

Enjoy your horse rides for your little riders! :)

Manufacturing of a mobile vehicle called "Horse".

The performance of Yuri Nikulin and Mikhail Shuydin "Horses" in the Minsk circus in 1967 inspired us to create this masterpiece. (found on the Internet).

We approached such an event with great enthusiasm and a sense of humor.

1. We found a toy with a bright positive color and the right size. This is a rocking horse. All unnecessary wooden elements and filler were removed.

2. Made "Face" - (eyes and eyelashes glued, hair sewn on).

3. For the frame, a garden metal support for bushes was used (fixed inside).

4 .The yellow strap is tied to the frame. It is worn around the rider's neck and practically holds the entire structure (therefore, it must be strong and well attached).

5. We sewed a wide skirt with an elastic band with a slit for the horse's neck. Decorated with braid.

6. Made "Legs". A piece of jeans + soft boots. Also on top with an elastic band.

The rider dresses all this also in stages.

IMPORTANT. The rider covers all these worn straps, elastic bands and belt loops by wearing a wide shirt on top.

It is on this positive that we built our mobile vehicle, decorating it with a registration number plate! Everyone was delighted.

On the eve of New Year's holidays in all children's institutions, be it a kindergarten or a school, matinees are held dedicated to this amazing, full of magic holiday. Therefore, you need to prepare in advance for such a joyful event for your child, namely: learn a New Year's rhyme, sew a costume, or make a mask.

Today, based on the master class, we will make a mask and a costume dedicated to the New Year's holiday. It is not difficult to make them, so you can call the child for help, for sure it will be an exciting activity for him.

Paper mask

The simplest solution is to make a New Year's horse mask for a child, and you will learn how to do this on the example of this master class on making a horse's face.

To do this, you will need:

Horse mask making tools

Having prepared everything you need, let's start implementing our plans:

DIY hedgehog mask

Not sure how to make a hedgehog head mask? It’s very simple.

First, we prepare everything you need, for example:

Manufacturing:

Based on the above, you can do nightingale mask or human head from paper with your own hands, and if in doubt how to do it correctly, then you can find the relevant information on the Internet by entering in the search bar of your browser "How to make a human head out of paper" or "Nightingale for the New Year".

Making a horse costume

If you want to make a horse costume with your own hands for a boy or girl, then one mask will not do here, you must definitely prepare the body and tail of the horse.

To do this, you will need:

The pattern can be prepared by yourself, having previously drawn on cardboard or any other thick paper, or you can spy on the idea from the Internet. Having prepared all of the above, you can start making a New Year's costume.

To make a toy, you will need 4 approximately identical socks. Of course, it is better if there are 2 pairs, but single pairs are also suitable, not too different in texture and pattern. Also prepare threads for sewing, embroidery and knitting (leftovers are possible), a hook, a needle with a large eye, scissors. Take care of what you will stuff your toy with. The most suitable trimming padding polyester. Cotton wool is too heavy, and foam rubber quickly breaks down and forms toxic substances.

Head

For the head, take 1 whole sock. This is actually a finished head with a neck. If the toe is long, the neck can be shortened by bending the open part inward. Stuff your head and neck with padding polyester. The hole can be repaired. Before collecting the rest of the parts, arrange the muzzle. Embroider eyes, nostrils, smiling mouth. If there are pieces of leather that match the color, make triangular ears out of them and sew them on. You can also make a mane immediately. Sew the withers with a basting stitch. The stitches should be fine. Knit the first row with simple columns, 2-3 in each stitch. Next, tie a fringe from the same thread.

Torso

The torso blank is a pipe. If there is no pair of socks, it is better to make the body of the horse from the top of the golf course. Cut off your foot. Close one slice at once. Fill the torso with padding polyester and seal the second hole. Sew on the head. Form the curve of the neck by pulling the head to the body and securing it with a few stitches.

Legs

For the legs, it is better to take paired legs. Make the hind legs from the upper parts, and the front legs from the lower ones. Make 4 pipes - they do not have to be exactly the same, those for the front legs may be slightly shorter. The legs are done in much the same way as the torso. Sew them on and then make the hooves. The easiest way is to tie them together. First, make 4 equal flat circles, and then tie to each "bead". The hooves should be worn on the feet. To keep the horse standing, put cardboard circles inside and sew each hoof along the top edge.

Pantyhose horse

Both nylon tights and cotton tights are suitable for making a horse. A horse is sewn in almost the same way, but it is more convenient to cut it like this. For the head, one of the feet with a small piece of the lower leg is suitable, for the torso - the part that fits the area between the thigh and knee. All this can be cut out of one stocking, and from the second - all four legs.

Design options

You can decorate a face not only with the help of embroidery. Eyes and mouths made of self-adhesive paper or film, as well as pieces of skin, will look good. Beads and beads are also suitable for decorating the muzzle. A mane fringe can be made from a piece of fabric or leather.

Children just love to transform into various New Year's characters. This year, the queen of the score is the horse, so if your kid has an honorable mission to be a stallion or a horse on the New Year's holiday, a handmade horse mask is what you need! After all, this is the basis of the costume. Having made the most important attribute, which is the mask, you can slightly complement the image with some elements and the New Year's horse costume is ready! So, let's immediately start making (sewing) a New Year's horse mask.

How to make a horse mask for a child

The horse's head is a mask sewn from fabric, for which a pattern is not needed. With the help of a master class performed by the craftsman Ekaterina Orlova, you can easily and simply make a soft horse head and use it as a mask-cap for a horse costume.

To sew a horse mask we need:

• dense fabric (corduroy, drape);
• thread, needle;
• synthetic winterizer;
• knitted, stretch fabric for lining;
• fur, artificial or natural;
• eyelet buttons or ready-made eyes;
• harness strap.

Work description

The mask is sewn like a bandana.

We make two symmetrical parts from dense fabric:

We measure the upper contour of the part:

We add 7 cm to the resulting length and cut a long rectangle, 10 cm wide, and the long one is what we got.

For the ears, we cut 4 identical parts:

Each eyelet will be double. Stitching the details of the ears:

Now we sew a hat like a bandana and sew an eyelet:

We begin to sew the details from the back of the head. The rectangle is bent - this is the muzzle (chin) of the horse. You should get a hat like this:

We make an incision on the chin of our horse, depending on the size of the child's head:

Cut corners:

We fill the mask with padding polyester:

Now we need to sew a lining hat.

We sew it inside the dying edges of the mask

Sew on the mane.

We glue the eyes. We make harness.

The corners of the folds on the muzzle have turned into nostrils. To make the nostrils clearer, the folds can be turned with a thread.
