According to the Eastern calendar in 2016The leading place will be occupied by a monkey. In each house, the image of this animal will help to maintain well-being, attract wealth and success, so you need to hurry to make a cute monkey with your own hands.Many things are used for creativitymaterials, one of the most relevant for the image of a monkey, will be coffee and sewing twine. Such material is suitable in color, imitates the animal's fur. In addition, coffee emits a pleasant aroma that is associated with the hearth, family holidays. New Year is a special celebration, on this day it is customary to give each other gifts. The symbol of the monkey is suitable as a present for a work colleague, girlfriend or neighbors. In order to make a craft in the image of the symbol of 2016, you will need:

A thin twine, enough threads 1-2 mm in diameter.

Hot glue. If you don't have hot glue, you can use transparent "Moment".

Coffee beans. It is better to find a variety with small seeds, flat on the one hand.

A little bit of matter for the basis of the details.

Rhinestones to mark the eyes of a monkey.

Let's start the process by creatingindividual parts. Spiral rounded parts are created as the ears of the face. For the base of these elements, take the fabric and cut out circles from it, two of them smaller in size - these will be the ears, and one large circle - for the muzzle of the toy animal.We begin to secure the twine to the round base,we apply the thread in a spiral. First we fix the edge of the thread in the center of the base, then we twist the twine around the center to form a dense detail, the turns of the curls should fit closely to each other. The distance between the rows of twine will look like holes and the work will be, at the very least, sloppy.Each turn of the twine thread naturallyincreases in diameter and forms a perfect circle. Sometimes it happens that the circle shifts to one side and the material is visible from under the twine, in this case you just need to melt the satin over the flame.The excess end of the thread must be carefully cut off andglue under the last round. In this location, it is necessary to apply a drop of glue, twist the end of the thread and immediately press it tightly. If there is an edge of the material peeking out from under the last round of twine wrapping, then singe this place to make the circle perfect. Do the same manipulations to createthe monkey's second ear. You also need to make a circle as a base for the animal's muzzle. Its size is not much larger than the ears. You can also use a different algorithm for completing tasks: first, twist the face, and then create a pair of ears in decreasing size. All parts should be flat. Sometimes novice craftswomen tighten the thread too much, fix it tightly, and in this case, you get a convex part that resembles the shape of a hat. To prevent this from happening, try to lay it out softly and correctly, fix the layers of twine. Now we begin to create the monkey's body. For the craft, take a piece of fabric that should have an oval shape. The size of this base corresponds to the parameter of the body. Of course, this part should be slightly wider than the circumference of the head and more elongated in length. Glue coffee beans to the satin oval. Each coffee element fits tightly to the adjacent parts. Try to leave as few gaps between the beans as possible, and create a visually unified part of the animal's body.These parts are connected quite simply.First, you need to fix the curled ears on the sides of the head. You don’t need to spread the ears too wide, but you also don’t need to shift them in the crown area. Try to imitate the face of the ruler of 2016 exactly. The monkey’s ears are located at the top, but don’t come close to the crown. The head needs to be fixed along the edge of the body. To do this, apply glue to the round part of the head and immediately fix it on the oval imitating the body. Now you can start designating the eyes and mouth of the animal. Small white rhinestones will look like a pair of shining eyes with a cheerful mood. You can use self-adhesive rhinestones, they are easy to fix on any surface. The nose and mouth will be replaced by a coffee bean for the monkey, which needs to be fixed in the center of the face. First, determine the location of this part without glue. Measuring will help you understand how the animal will look - sad, smiling cheerfully, winking mischievously. In order for your home to be happy in the New Year, you need to depict the symbol of this year as happy, so fix the coffee bean in the place where the animal's face seems happy. When the head is connected to the body, you can start making the paws. For them, you will need a thread of twine. Cut off about 10 cm of cuttings from the skein. For one part, you will need three cuts, since the legs and arms will be braided in the form of pigtails. Surely many know how to braid the simplest braid from three parts. To do this, the left thread is thrown into the center, then the right part of the twine is moved in the middle. In the following stages, alternate the left weave with the right. It is necessary to weave the limbs for the toy animal, their length is about 10 cm.Create four braids of equal size.The ends of the threads should be tied together with a knot when weaving is finished. Each part is glued in the appropriate location - the arms are glued to the upper part of the body, and the legs - to the lower. If the limbs are not quite symmetrical, it is not a problem - the bent paws only confirm the fussiness of the monkey. A coffee unit should be glued to the end of the paws. The grain will help hide the end of the weaving and ensure a smooth transition.A wonderful craft for the New Year is ready!The symbol of 2016 - the monkey - will decorate your home or please your friends as a New Year's gift. It does not take much time and material to create, but a handicraft made with your own hands will bring more warmth and joy to every family hearth than a template store item. Such a gift can safely be considered heartfelt and exclusive.
