The master class will teach you how to make a hand-made article for the new year with your own hands - a coffee monkey.
We suggest together with us to sew such a monkeyVanilla. They call her that because she smells very fragrant vanilla, coffee and cinnamon. Probably, it is pleasant to receive such gift, to use which it is possible as a suspension bracket on a fur-tree. The following materials and tools are required for the job:
- dense fabric (white),
- sintepon,
- 0.5 tbsp. instant coffee,
- 70 ml of boiling water,
- 0.5 tsp cocoa powder,
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon,
- 0.5 tsp vanilla sugar,
- 0.5 tbsp. glue PVA,
- acrylic paints,
- black gel pen, simple pencil,
- Toothbrush,
- paint brush,
- sewing machine.
The pattern of a monkey (20 cm high) can be patterned or covered with a soft pencil from the computer monitor, attaching a piece of paper to it. Cloth bend in half and traverse a pattern. Sew on the machine two layers of fabric together along the outlined contour. At the bottom on the coat we leave two centimeters unguarded. Cut out the monkey, leaving the allowance of five mm. Threads at the ends of the stitching can not be cut to avoid opening the sewn billet. On the cuttings, we cut the denticles, it is necessary that the fabric in the finished toy does not fray around the seams. We twist the workpiece and plot the line between the head and the ears, so that when the toy is stuffed, the sintepon does not fall into the ears. On both sides near the ears of the thread we pull together a little and tie the ends. This will make the ears not quite flat. We fill the workpiece with a sintepon or a holofiber. Stuffing is pushed in small pieces, helping yourself with a stick or close tips of scissors. To avoid the tuberous surface of the toy, in the process of stuffing, the sintepon needs to be swollen, stretching the filler with the fingers in the sides. We first fill the head of a monkey, and inside the body together with the sintepon fall asleep in small portions of vanillin. When finished with the stuffing of the toy, sew manually left hole. We make a pompon on the cap of the monkey. To do this, in the area of the transition of the cap to the pompon, we introduce a needle with a thread from one seam to the other. Then wrap around the base of the pompon 2-3 times and fix the thread. Next, we attach on the top of the string, which will be needed to suspend the monkey during drying in the oven. For painting the surface of the toy we takesoluble coffee (better coloring properties are cheaper), pour it with boiling water, stir until dissolved, add here the same cinnamon, vanilla sugar and cocoa, then glue PVA. Stir, apply this compound on the entire toy with a toothbrush. The solution is quickly and carefully distributed over the fabric, avoiding excessive wetting of the sintepon inside. On the properly colored toy there are no stains and stains after drying. We tie a toy to the oven grill forattached thread and dried at a minimum temperature of 10-15 minutes. If during this time the hand-made article is not sufficiently dry, it should be dried with the gas turned off. The surface is baked, the toy becomes hard, suitable for drawing on it. Draw a pencil detail of the monkey's face andwe paint with acrylic paints. Black gel pen draws out details of the image of the monkey. Silver glitter can be applied to peas on a coat and a hat, we draw buttons. We attach a thread or a narrow ribbon for hanging. A fragrant monkey Vanilla is ready.
