DIY gifts for March 8 – amigurumi bear for mom with description and photo.
Today they are enjoying unprecedented popularityproducts and gifts that are made with your own hands. And teddy bears occupy a special place among toys of this type. There are many such crafts: small and large, fluffy and less fuzzy. On the eve of the holiday on March 8, we would like to present to your attention a master class on making a gift for mom - a crocheted teddy bear.For all amigurumi bears, the common thing remainsthe principle by which they are created: all the parts of the toy should be knitted separately (body, head, ears and paws), and then connected. Knitting should be done in a spiral, using single crochets. Pay attention to the correct execution of increases and decreases in loops. These are all the main requirements for your knowledge necessary for making such a gift for Women's Day. In our case, in addition to crocheting, dry felting will also be used, with the help of which the muzzle of the toy will be decorated.For work we will need the following materials:
- Yarn threads. You can use leftover yarn.We used wool yarn "Mongolian Camel". However, keep in mind that it is difficult to create a large bear cub with thin threads. And knitting small bears will require certain skills. Therefore, it is better for beginner craftswomen to use medium-thick threads.
- Crochet hook. Here, the choice will depend on the specific nature of the yarn. Often the labels indicate which hook number will be optimal for this kind of thread. In our case, hook number three is used.
- Filling agent (cotton wool, sintepon, etc.).
- Scissors.
- Needle for stitching toys. Such a tool is sold in the department of goods for needlework. We used a rather long needle for greater comfort when attaching paws to the bear's body.
In order to design the bear's face, you will need:
- Beige and black hair for felting face and nose;
- a needle for felting;
- polymeric clay for decoration of eyes;
- lacquer;
- glue.
