Forest beauty made from candy wrappers – do-it-yourself crafts and crafts
When children learn to create something with their own hands– material required. It is not always possible to find it in the same color and quality. I decided to use candy wrappers. They are made of foil – very beautiful material, the most pliable, you can – cut, glue, fold, crumple, tear simply with your hands. They have a glossy layer that repels moisture and has a strengthening property, and it is easy to care for such crafts. Materials and tools:candy wrappers, scissors, safety pins, pincushion, sewing machine, fabric (pieces), plastic bottle, thread, needle, paper, soap or tailor's chalk To work you need: 1. Prepare candy wrappers by color and size. 2. Straighten the candy wrappers with your hands, or use an iron and cloth3. Cut to size, we decide the size ourselves (depending on what kind of craft you will sew) 4. Fold modules from cut pieces5. Pin the modules onto the pincushion with a safety pin so that they do not fall apart 6. You need to make a lot of modules7. Let’s make paper patterns for making the Forest Beauty 8.To make the head and tummy, it is better to use fabrics with a sheen or shimmer 9. We cut the parts taking into account seam allowances, except for the appliqué parts (lip parts, eyes - no extras are needed) 10. We grind the head parts, turn them inside out and stuff them with padding polyester11. We attach the lips with a loop seam 12. Eyes: cut out a circle d-5-6 cm from fabric, assemble along the edge, stuff with synthetic padding, attach the remaining parts with a loop seam13. For the eyelashes, we cut out the details from a piece of a plastic bottle, cut and curl the eyelashes, and sew them on by hand 14. We do the back of the Forest Beauty like this: 15. When we fill the back part completely with modules from candy wrappers, all that remains is to connect the parts and stuff the body16. To keep the head elevated, insert a piece of aluminum wire inside. 17. The body is decorated with flowers made from handmade candy wrappers
