Craft a dog for children - that's what will be interesting to many. Most likely, children's institutions have already begun to prepare for the arrival of 2018, which has not yet come. Simple but bright crafts are more suitable for kindergarten, because young children cannot sit in one place for a long time and be focused. Let's try to make a postcard in the shape of a dog. Prepare the details for our craft in advance, a sheet of paper. Fold it in half, draw an outline, color it and together with your child glue the details in the form of a tail, eyes, etc. The card is ready. 
For primary school students, we suggest assembling a voluminous dog. Print a blank dog or draw a template yourself. So, in order for our structure to stand, the body must be cut out of cardboard folded in half, then stick the head on it, and draw the muzzle with a felt-tip pen or pencil.
Craft - Dog for the competition.
Craft Dog is easy to master on your own and the next master class will demonstrate this to you. If you need to make a craft for the competition, then try to make every effort with your child so that the resulting toy looks decent. For example, take a toilet paper cylinder. Roll the sleeve inward. Paint the resulting body with gouache or watercolors. Cut out the details for the face from cardboard or paper. Then stick them on the cylinder. Done!
We will use modern technology - a color 3D printer. Print the finished parts and glue them in the right places. 
Craft from new and modern material.
Foamiran. Quite amazing and good material for making DIY toys. It is synthetic, non-toxic and comes from DPRK and Iran. The texture is similar to plastic suede. Note that foamiran should not be confused with porous rubber. What colors and shades you can find on the market!
Working process:
Prepare some kind of board, the very foamiran of various colors and an awl.
Then make the head. Draw the elements of the muzzle on it, blind the black or brown nose, and then the body and legs. 
After that, white pads must be made to the paws, on which sections must be made.
It remains to glue the legs and head to the body. Blind a blue collar, for example, or bows as an accessory. 
Now make the ears. Choose a color at your discretion. It can be black, dark brown, or light brown.
At this stage, you need to make the eyes. They can be molded from foamiran, or drawn with pencils or felt-tip pens. 
The resulting craft can be varnished. Done!

Cut out two parts, then sew with a buttonhole seam. Just remember to leave a hole for the filler. After filling the toy, we sew up the remains. The toy is ready!
If you are a rather experienced tailor, then I suggest the following toy patterns to choose from ...

3. Fold the parts and sew them with a seam over the edge. The thread can be taken in a contrasting color so that the seam is noticeable, or vice versa of such a shade that the thread is completely invisible. In the process of sewing, we lightly stuff the toy with a padding polyester.
4. When everything has been sewn, attach a loop from the tape on top.
5. Tie a bow on the dog's neck.
6. Cut 2 triangle out of red felt and sew them together in the shape of a cap. We put a cap on the dog's head and fix it with a couple of stitches. Sew a bead on the tip of the cap.
The New Year's felt dog is ready. Toys can be made with children, spending a pleasant time getting ready for the New Year's celebration.

Foamiran dog
One of the new directions in handmade toys is fofucha dolls. This technique is very simple, and you can create a dog using it. She will be in a fluffy skirt in the shape of a naughty girl in a carnival costume of a New Year's dog and with a Santa Claus cap. Such a DIY Christmas toy dog \u200b\u200bcan be put under the Christmas tree instead of the traditional figurine of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden.
Exotic beauties "Fofucha" came to our Russian reality from distant and hot Brazil. They got accustomed with us very quickly and, obviously, for a long time, since they are very fond of fans of handmade toys.
Let's consider in stages how you can make such a beauty - a New Year's toy - a dog in a carnival costume with your own hands.
For her we will need:
- Foamiran flesh or light brown for the body, red and white - for a New Year's cap and dresses of other colors for hair, and shoes.
2. Wire, it will be a skeleton for the body.
3. Large foam ball for the dog's head and 2 small balls for the legs. The diameter of the balls must be selected depending on what size the dog is needed.
4. Foam cone as a base for the body.
5. Hot melt glue.
6. Iron, in order to heat the foamiran and make it plastic.
7. Pencil. We will outline the details with them.
8. Acrylic paints.
9. Small white pompom and small decorative gift box for decoration.
10. Scissors. Scissors with a wavy blade can also come in handy in order to cut beautifully edged pieces of clothing.
So, everything is ready, we are starting to make a New Year's toy dog \u200b\u200bfrom foamiran with our own hands. First we make the dog's head. This is perhaps the most difficult thing in the process of working on a toy made of foamiran using the Fofucha technique.
To do this, we take a foam ball of a larger diameter and a piece of solid or light brown foamiran.
We heat the foamiran on a slightly heated iron to such an extent that it becomes slightly soft (this is literally a few seconds).
We quickly pull the heated foamiran over the ball so that it lies flat on one half of the ball. This will be the dog's face. You need to pull it gently, without effort, in smooth movements. If it did not work the first time, you need to heat the material again and try again in those places where it is not stretched well and smoothed out.
When half of the ball is evenly covered with foamiran, glue it with hot glue around the edges and cut off the unnecessary. You should get a ball half pasted over with an even smooth layer of foamiran.
Now, in the same way, on the back side, we make the back of the head from foamiran of a different color, the one chosen for the hairstyle and ears. We do everything in the same way, but we go slightly on the edges of the muzzle from the bodily foamiran. Then we glue a strip of foamiran from which the back of the head was made in place of the bangs, covering the joint. We cut it carefully into small strips, curls, lightly heat it on an iron and twist it with a pencil.
Then we make the ears. To do this, you need to cut out triangles of two sizes and colors and glue the one that is smaller in front of the one that is larger. We glue the ears, slightly bending them in a semicircle to the head on the sides. The head is ready.
We insert a wire into the place of the neck, fixing it with glue, and from the other end we insert this wire into the body cone and also fix it with glue.
Making legs. We take two cuts of wire of the required length and wind the flesh-colored foamiran on them in several turns, leaving a couple of centimeters from each edge for attaching to the body and shoes.
We do our shoes like this. Cut a small ball in half, cut off a little from the ball from each half and glue it in this place. It turned out to be a foot in a shoe. As well as the head, we wrap the foot with bodily foamiran on top, then we wrap the sock with foamiran of the color chosen for the shoes. Glue a strip around the perimeter of the foot and glue a thin strip over the foot as a boot fastener. We insert the legs with one end into the shoes, the other into the body and fix with glue.
Cut out the dress according to the cone pattern made of red foamiran. We glue it to the body. Cut out the upper legs according to the pattern. We make a sleeve from a piece of foamiran and glue it to the body. In front, we connect the handles and a decorative box with a gift. On the bottom of the dress, glue a strip of white foamiran with finely chopped edges, imitating the edge.
We make a cap from a cone cut from red foamiran. We put it on the head and glue it. We glue a small pompom on the tip. We lower the tip forward downward, glue it closer to the muzzle.
Now it remains to draw a muzzle. With black paint we draw the circles of the eyes, the triangle of the nose and the nasolabial arches, forming the smile of the dog from the nose in different directions. Rub the cheeks with powder or blush using a sponge. Let's draw the antennae. We make dots with white paint, forming highlights on the eyes and cheeks.
On the edge of the red dress, you can draw a white snowflake. Cut out several strips from flesh-colored foamiran, fold them and bend them in half.
We stick a wire into the middle and fix it on one side, with the other edge we stick it into the body in the place of the tail. Fluff slightly. You can curl the ponytail strips with an iron and a pencil, or leave like that.
The result is a funny and unusual DIY Christmas toy dog. She will delight households and bring good luck in the coming year.
