For work we take materials:
- instant coffee.
- PVA glue.
- white dense fabric.
- sewing machine.
- needle and thread.
- scissors.
- thin brushes.
- acrylic paints.
- yarn for the mane.
- thin lace.
- pencil.
- black helium pen.
- filler for toys.
Before starting work, you should draw a template of the horse’s figure and its face. The height of the toy will be 12 cm and the width 7.5 cm. Additionally, small ears in the shape of triangles are needed.
Then, using the prepared templates, we trace the contours onto the fabric with a pencil. And it should be folded in two layers.
Then we sew on the sewing machine along the marked lines, only leaving the places where we will turn the toy inside out. On the body this will be a 2 cm segment in the area where the tail is located. And on the ears we leave the base of the triangles unsewn. When cutting out blanks, you can additionally leave more fabric in the places for turning.
We move on to turning it inside out and to ensure that the bends are even, we should make small cuts on the wrong side with scissors exactly in the places where the complex bends are. We make sure not to damage the main seam itself.
When everything is carefully turned out, we begin to fill the base of the horse with any filler.
Next we will attach a loop from a thin cord for hanging the toy. And carefully sew up the segment that will now not be needed. Then we attach the ears to the body with small stitches. And we treat them with PVA glue.
While the ears are drying, start preparing a coffee solution to treat the toy. In a small container, add a mixture of 1 spoon of coffee, two parts of PVA glue and 6 spoons of warm water. For a pleasant smell, you can add both cinnamon and vanillin as desired. Mix everything well and cover our horse completely with a brush.
Drying methods can also be different. The main thing is to continue working with the dry toy. We draw contours on the face with a pencil and place small hearts all over the body. All these drawings can be changed at your discretion.
When we like the sketch of the future toy, we trace these drawings with a helium pen.
Now let's move on to the hair. We use 12 pieces of prepared yarn, 23 cm each. Take two pieces each, fold them in half 3 times. With each fold, we cut the folds of the threads.
And we sew the resulting small bundle with a needle and thread in the middle and fasten it tightly.
Then, without cutting the thread, we place this bundle on the head of the toy, between the ears and secure it. This turned out to be bangs.
There will be 5 such bundles. We distribute them lower throughout the neck.
And for the tail, one thread tracking will be enough. Fold it, secure it with a needle and sew it in the right place. And the length of the tail can be adjusted as desired.
Now let's move on to coloring. The hearts will be red and the tongue will be red. Draw the eyes with blue, add black and white paint. And give it time to dry.
When everything is dry, let's continue working. You should once again draw along all the contours with a pen and put a white highlight on the pupil. Let's draw stripes on the hearts, as if they are knocking. The horse is ready.
Good luck to all!
