Craft rooster ball and thread + fabric How to do:
First we inflate to the right size ball. Then we dip the threads in glue and wrap our ball - tightly or not too tightly, as you like - there we will prepare the frame for our future toy. There is nothing complicated, so this craft can be done using New Year and together with the children. By the way, this can be not only a cockerel, but also any other animal.
After the glue has dried, simply pierce the ball with a needle and pull out the remains from the frame. We have the body of the rooster and his head - if you decide to use two balls. Now we take buttons and make eyes out of them, gluing them to the frame on Right place. We make wings and a tail from scraps or colored paper and also glue them on. Paws can be made from felt, paper or wire and scraps. Here's what you might end up with:
8. Craft a rooster from felt

Simple rooster crafts are made from multi-colored sheets felt: just cut out the necessary parts and stick them on top of each other - you get an easy flat craft. But more complex three-dimensional figures from felt will have to be sewn, and here it is better to use ideas already created by someone. Here are four ready-made diagrams on how to make a felt rooster yourself, all you have to do is download, print, apply to fabric and cut out:

There are very simple solutions for similar crafts, which look very cute and are quite suitable for New Year's souvenirs. For example, pay attention to the heart-shaped cockerel.
9. Rooster made from plastic bottles
Plastic bottles are a very popular material for country and children's crafts. We already wrote here, and today we’ll tell you how to make a rooster out of them. The easiest craft option is to take one bottle and use colored paper, buttons, disposable tableware and any other available materials to decorate it with the symbol of the New Year.
More complex options are the creation of voluminous roosters with which you can decorate your dacha. Here you can no longer do without abstract imagination, the ability to create the necessary forms and combine different colors, because ready-made schemes There are simply no such figures. You will have to cut out the “feathers” for the tail and plumage yourself, make a comb and assemble it all into a single shape. But for some, these birds look just like life-like ones - look at the photo for yourself:
10. Crafts from salt dough - rooster
Another popular material for children's crafts is salty dough. It’s not difficult to make, sculpting is as simple as using plasticine, but the figures are stronger and more durable—you don’t have to worry that your child will break everything just because he squeezed his fingers on the toy a little tighter than necessary.
Salt dough cockerel recipe:
Mix 200-250 grams of flour and half a glass or a little more of fine sea or regular flour in a bowl. table salt. Add about 150 grams of water and mix everything thoroughly. At the end, pour in 20-30 grams of glue - it is better to use PVA so that the dough holds its shape better and the figures do not fall apart.
Next, we begin to sculpt the figure - we make a body, add a head, attach wings and a tail to it, and also do not forget about the comb and beak. Afterwards we paint with gouache or some special paints. We make all the parts separately, and then glue them together with glue or water. For the manufacture of small parts and give them shape, use a scalp or thin and sharp knife, when working with children, it is better to take safe plastic tools - a spatula or something that will help you make cuts and create the necessary elements.

Volume craft rooster with children
If a flat figure is not to your liking, why not make voluminous crafts in the shape of a rooster, which can also be kindergarten Give it to your children and give it to your friends for the New Year? We have already talked about how to knit a cockerel with hooks or sew scraps or fabric - this is the most popular way to make voluminous toys. Crafts for the garden for the year of the rooster are easiest to make from paper, napkins or plasticine, and if everything is clear with plasticine, then with paper you can use various ways, for example, first make a cone out of colored paper, and only then turn it into a cockerel. You can also use techniques such as volumetric quilling or plain or corrugated paper, origami, papier mache and the use complex circuits and patterns. Some even manage to make a rooster out of cotton pads and sticks, and for a Christmas tree out of Christmas balls, cereals, pasta, coffee beans, pine cones, chestnuts, acorns and other natural materials.

And another bonus craft is a cockerel made from cereals, which can be made for both kindergarten and primary school. You can use a wide variety of cereals; this composition can be made from millet and buckwheat, peas and beans, semolina, rice and other cereals.

The technology is simple: we draw a cockerel on a piece of paper - parents can do this, and if it’s difficult to draw it yourself, you can always download a ready-made stencil, print it and use it for decoration. Next, use a brush to apply glue to the entire surface that you will fill. natural material. All that remains is to pour in the cereal and let the glue dry. After this, we simply shake off the excess grains and get a finished craft. Cunning: if you use several different grains, then so that they do not mix, it is better to apply layers one by one, “painting” with glue only the areas of the picture that are needed now. But laying out panels of beans or peas is more difficult - here you will have to place the beans in even rows to each other, after also applying glue to the paper. Here's what you might end up with:

How to make a Petrunya craft from plastic bottles with your own hands? Step-by-step instructions for adults and children.
To make this craft we will need the following tools:
Let's start making a rooster from a canister:
6) Move the top of the canister about 3 cm.
7) We bend the metal-plastic pipe (shape the legs), in my case, the rooster is walking, and attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws.
8) For the neck, from 5 l. bottles, fold the envelope, attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws.
9) From 1.5 liter bottles we cut out two “thighs”, which we attach to the canister with self-tapping screws.
For feathers we used 1.5 liter bottles. Cut off the long neck, cut the bottle into 5 feathers (we are guided by the protrusions on the bottom of the bottle), use the upper part of the feathers.
We begin to cover the body from the “thighs”. Disconnect them from the canister for convenience.
1) Attach the corrugated tube to the neck of the bottle.
2) attach the feathers using wire.
3) Attach the finished legs back to the canister.
4) Starting from the back, we cover the entire body, except the back, with feathers (we attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws). We leave the back of the neck open because there will be other feathers there.
Then the body is painted spray paint(in our case, red).
After painting the body, cut out the head from polystyrene foam; it is better to use stationery knife ik. We also paint her head. If the process of cutting out the head seems difficult to you, you can cut it out in separate parts and then glue it together with glue.
With the help furniture stapler and staples (you can use wire) we begin to attach the long wing feathers. The back remains open.
I cover the top of the wings with these feathers from 1.5 liter corrugated feathers. bottles

1. 5 liter canister, (in in this case from liquid soap)
2. 5 liter plastic bottle
3. metal-plastic tube for legs 30-35 centimeters high
4. corrugated tube for legs
5. pair 1.5 liter bottles for "hips"

20. scissors
21. stationery knife
22. screwdriver
23. side cutters
24. perforated tape
Oksana uses self-tapping screws for fastenings like the ones in the photo.
Having prepared everything you need, we begin making the rooster. Move the top of the canister approximately 2-4 centimeters. From metal-plastic tubes we outline where the legs will be and screw them to the canister with self-tapping screws. Having cut a five-liter bottle, we give it the shape of a neck and also fasten it to the canister with self-tapping screws. From the two upper parts of one and a half liter bottles, we cut out two hips and also connect them to the canister with self-tapping screws.
For feathers we will use 1.5 liters. Bottles with long necks are best for making them. Having cut off the neck, focusing on the edges on the bottom, cut the bottle into 5 parts. It turned out to be five feathers.
We start attaching the feathers from the hip. You can detach them from the body for convenience. Attach the corrugated tube to the rooster's thigh. We fasten the feathers with wire.
We attach the legs to the body.
We cover the body of the cockerel with feathers (everything except the back). Attach it to the canister with self-tapping screws. The back and back of the neck remain not covered with feathers, since there will be feathers of a different shape.
Next we start making the paws. The base is copper wire with a diameter of 2.5 millimeters. Next, we put a corrugated tube on the wire, and fasten the tip of the wire with a metal-plastic tube and a corrugated tube. For greater strength, you can glue the bottom of the foot.
We cut out nails, narrow and long, from the bottom of the bottle and glue them to the paws with glue.
We paint the body and legs of the rooster with spray paint.
Now let's start making the head. Let's cut it out using a stationery knife from construction foam. A stationery knife produces smoother cuts. To simplify the process, you can cut out all the parts separately and then glue them together with glue.
Use sandpaper to smooth out the head.
Coat the entire head with acrylic putty. When it is completely dry, sand it again with sandpaper. Then we coat it with glue so that the paint adheres better.
Once completely dry, we begin painting; acrylic paints are best suited. We also glue on purchased eyes or make our own.
Form for wings from reinforcing mesh cut out using side cutters.
We first attach the long wing feathers with wire, all except the back.
For the upper wings we will make feathers from embossed one and a half liter bottles. We bend the wings inward.
We paint the wings with acrylic paint, and after they are completely dry, we attach them to the body with perforated tape and self-tapping screws.
Now let's make the tail. We make feathers in the same way as wings, but only from 2, 2.5 liter bottles.
We attach it to the reinforcing mesh with wire.
The feathers on the back can be made of different lengths, preferably from light plastic (easier to paint). The width of the feathers is no more than 3 centimeters. We attach the cockerel to the back with self-tapping screws, several feathers, 3-4 pieces each.
When attaching feathers to the neck, the excess at the top must be cut off. We place the topmost row of feathers on glue to close the screws. We attach the head to the body with long self-tapping screws. We glue small feathers on the sides of the crest and on the back of the head.
Cover previously painted feathers with polyethylene and masking tape. Apply yellow paint and wait until it dries completely.
And of course, the rooster must have spurs. We cut out two strips of plastic using a stationery knife. Then carefully insert it between the corrugated and metal-plastic tube.
That's all, our rooster made from plastic bottles is ready. You can coat the rooster with varnish and place it in the yard to the delight of you and those around you.
The rooster made from plastic bottles turned out to be simply stunningly beautiful and important. Now the main thing is to find him a worthy place)

Not a single yard in the village can do without such a bird as a rooster. In this article we want to tell you how to make a magnificent rooster from plastic bottles with your own hands.
Let's go to the lesson
The process of making a proud cockerel can be traced using the example of a master class. Step by step creation The cockerel is described in detail and shown in the photo.
In order to make a cockerel, take a canister (volume 5 liters), a plastic bottle (volume five liters), a couple of plastic bottles for the legs (volume one and a half liters), a metal-plastic pipe, scissors, a screwdriver, a stationery knife, self-tapping screws.
The photo shows a model of the body of a cockerel.
In order to fasten the product, you need to use self-tapping screws. They can be bought in specialized construction stores. The length of the small screws is about one and a half cm, and the large ones are five to six cm. We will use the small ones to fasten the feathers, and the large ones to attach the head.
The first step we will make is the frame of the cockerel. To do this, we move the upper part of the canister by three cm. Then we shape the legs of the metal-plastic pipe. In our case, the cockerel will walk, so one leg moves forward. You need to secure it with self-tapping screws to the canister. In order to make the cockerel's neck, we fold the envelope and attach the screws. Then we cut out the hams from small bottles and attach them to the canister with self-tapping screws. This is how the body turns out:
In order to make the feathers of the cockerel, we will use beer bottles (the shape is shown in the photo). It is necessary to cut off the long neck and cut the bottle into five parts. It is best to navigate along the bottom. We will only use the top part.
Now we move on to the process of pasting the body. You need to start working from the feet. To make it more convenient, you can detach them from the body. Attach crepe paper to the neck of the bottle, and then use wire to attach the feathers.

After we have made the cockerel's legs, we attach them to the body again.
Well, now we’ll just cover the body with feathers, starting from the back. It is necessary to cover all parts except the back with feathers. It is also necessary to leave the back of the cockerel's neck open. As mentioned above, the feathers must be attached to small self-tapping screws.
Then we need to make the paws. Take copper wire (two and a half mm thick). You can take any other wire that bends, but not steel. We bend the shape of the legs from this wire. Then we take corrugated paper and create a leather effect. The tail that remains must be inserted between the corrugated paper and metal-plastic pipe. To prevent anything from slipping out, seal the bottom with glue for strength.
Then take the bottom of the bottle and cut claws out of it. The claws should be as narrow and long as possible, as shown in the photo. Using instant glue we attach them to the legs.
Use regular spray paint to paint the body and legs of the cockerel.
Cut out the head of a cockerel from construction foam. We use a utility knife to ensure that the cuts are as sharp as possible.
If things aren't going smoothly for you, then you can cut out all the pieces separately and then glue them together with glue.
This is what happens at this stage:
The second photo also shows the cockerel's head:
And third, but from a new angle:
This form was made using sandpaper medium hard.
We cover the surface of the head with acrylic putty or any other. Then we need to wait until it dries completely and only then process the head again until it is perfectly smooth. The next step is to treat the surface using regular PVA glue. This is necessary so that the paint adheres well in the future.

Use acrylic paints (or any other) to decorate the cockerel's head. Then we glue the eyes. You can make them yourself, or you can buy them in a specialized store. The next step is to prepare the shape of the wings and then cut them out using side cutters.
We fasten the long feathers of the wing using ordinary wire, the back should still remain open.
You can close the top using corrugated bottles. The last row should go inside the wing, on the bend.
We cover the surface with paint and wait until the product dries. Then we attach the wings to the body and prepare the mesh for the tail. The longer the mesh, the more magnificent the ponytail.
The tail feathers must be cut from 2.5 or two liter bottles. Now we need to paint each feather in two parts.
