Advantages of a DIY toy:
• safety - you know what materials it is made of;
• creativity and uniqueness - the ability to create an individual and original toy (depending on the interests and preferences of the child);
• fast - work will take about 40 minutes;
• easy - even a beginner seamstress can do it;
• cheap - all the necessary materials can be found at home;
We decided to create a fabulous pink cat Murzik. The color was chosen arbitrarily, the one that the child liked and was available.
What will be needed in the work:
• fabric of bright pink color about 20-20 cm;
• a small piece of pale pink fabric;
• ribbon;
• threads of black, pink, blue, red;
• needle;
• scissors;
• a piece of chalk;
• 2 blue buttons;
• synthetic winterizer or cotton;
• pattern.
Process of creation
Step 1
First, draw a cat figure on the cardboard. Cut, transfer it to the fabric. Cut out the shape, considering the seam allowances.
Step 2
Create the cat’s eyes. Sew buttons (use a blue thread for this). From a piece of pink fabric we make a nose. We embroider black mustache and paws.
Step 3
We turn out. Sew the parts with a seam. Leave a small hole for filling.
Step 4
Sew on a scarf. Gently attach it on the sides and front.
Step 5
We fill the cat with synthetic winterizer or cotton. Sew.
The soft toy is ready! The cat turned out to be kind, cheerful and cute. The child will like such an unusual character. And if you add a ribbon, the toy will become a Christmas tree. Children will be delighted with such a Christmas decoration. They will be able to decorate the tree on their own, without fear of breaking or breaking such a toy.
