There is less and less time before the New Year holidays. Very soon, the Yellow Earth Pig will come into its own. When decorating a house, do not forget about the symbol of the next year. Following the master class, making a pig out of nylon tights is not difficult at all.

The souvenir looks so original that it is not a shame to give it to friends. Or you can leave it to yourself to cheer up. DIY cute animals are a great alternative to the usual Christmas tree decorations on the New Year tree.

Nylon pig

For manufacturing you will need:

• nylon (tights are suitable);
• synthetic fluff;
• fur (collar from an unnecessary coat);
• needle and thread;
• glue;
• decorative elements (buttons, beads);
• cosmetics.

Sequencing:

First of all, let's start stitching all the details. Let's start with the ears. We take a little synthetic fluff, straighten it and wrap it in a pre-cut piece of nylon. At this time, we make sure that there are no folds. We sew the part through and through, thereby forming the ear. We make three seams, then cut off the excess thread. The result is ears with a diameter of 3 cm

We make the head according to the same principle, but the workpiece should be larger, namely 6 centimeters. A little later, we will attach a patch to it, we will sew it in a circle

It remains to make four paws (their diameter is 2 cm) and a patch of 3 cm. We bring the needle to the middle, then transfer it to the other side in order to sew the central part, return to the tail. We take the needle to the side and stitch it through. We tighten the thread, fix it in the tail. It remains to cut off the excess. We make the other 3 legs in the same way

To give the pig a cheerful look, we color the already sewn blanks with the help of compact eyeshadow

We make a cap for a pig from fur. Cut out a small rectangle, fold it in half and stitch it

• We proceed to the patch: We pierce the tail blank with a needle, and by tightening we form the nostrils.
• We draw neatly the mouth, translate the thread just below this line and make several seams. You get a smile.

We make out the eyes, for this we take two identical beads or buttons and sew

It remains to sew paws, ears and a cap

Cut off a piece of elastic (about 4 cm long), wrap it up and stitch it. It turns out a blank of a tail, which we also attach to the craft with the help of a thread and a needle

When all the details are sewn, and our souvenir has acquired the shape of a pig, it remains to do the decor. We glue the beads to the cap. Blend the ears, eyes and mouth with dry eyeshadow. Apply powder or blush on the patch

It will be much easier to make a pig out of nylon tights with your own hands if you adhere to the master class. The video shows everything in detail.

To hang the craft on the tree, you need to sew a loop. And the final touch. Supplement the homemade toy with a note of good wishes. We take a small sheet, write in prose or poetry (whichever you prefer) soulful words and twist it into a tube. So that he does not turn around, we beautifully fix it with a ribbon and tie it to the pig.

Pig from children's tights

Each option is good in its own way. First, let's prepare everything you need.

We need:

• children's tights (it is better if they are with a pattern, for example, striped, as shown in the photo);
• cotton wool;
• threads;
• a needle;
• scissors;
• beads, buttons.

Sequencing:

Cut off the widest part from the tights. Sew on one side and you get something like a pillowcase. We stuff cotton wool inside, make a line, we get a blank head

We shape the future pig with pins and decorative needles

We cut off socks from the product, we make ears from them

The next step is to proceed to the body and legs. To do this, cut the leg from the tights (the lower part will be needed later). Sew the lower side, just like in the case of making a muzzle. But first, we make a pattern for the legs as shown in the photo. Draw an arched line with a pencil or chalk, cut it out with scissors, then sew it. We fill it with cotton on top

• We make handles in a similar way.
• For the patch, we cut out the heel from the tights, fill it with filler and sew it.

Now you need to carefully attach all parts of the body to the body with threads and you can do the decor. Sew on eyes (buttons or beads of the same color and size)

Sewing on the straps and buttons, you get a little piggy boy in pants with suspenders. If you tie a pink ribbon around your neck, there will be a girl. This master class is suitable for making crafts in the form of a pig from nylon tights

Any other animal can be crafted in the same way. Involve your child in the process. So he will not toil around idle and may offer his interesting design idea.

Then he will have the opportunity to proudly present the finished souvenir to relatives. The best gift is the one that is made by hand.
