A wonderful gift for lovers on Valentine's Day can be made with your own stand for pencils. For her, it is necessary to have a glass itself and two knitted figures of ducklings: a boy and a girl.
Ducklings can be crocheted from yellow yarn with crochet columns. Each duckling consists of two elongated balls - ellipses.
A filler is stuffed inside them: cut foam rubber or synthetic winterizer. Only avoid filling with cotton, as it will then be inconvenient to wash the toy.
Ducklings are decorated with obligatory red or orange beaks. They can be both knitted and made of fabric or cardboard.
The legs of ducklings can be either flat or made in the form of hemispheres. If a model with flat feet is selected, then the option of cardboard or fabric feet is also possible.
We sew button eyes, bead, bead or specially purchased for toys. You can glue cardboard cut eyes.
“Boy” - a duckling can be decorated with a hat, knitted or cardboard.
“Girl” - we select the duck with a bow, tail or beads.
Now take a glass for pencils. Wrap it with a piece of paper, pre-painted "under the birch". You can sign the "birch" with names, decorate with hearts.
We wrap a glass with a knitted chain, fix the chain to the ducklings' bodies.
You can use a cigarette holder instead of a pencil box. In this case, a flat box, which includes a cigarette pack, is glued with colored paper “under the fence” with the same inscriptions and hearts.
By the way, craftswomen can crochet a pencil box and a cigarette holder, without using additional items. A lace knitted glass - a pencil box is knitted according to the size of a regular glass, pull the finished product onto the mold, after holding it in a gelatin solution or in starch. The dried pencil box is attached with thread to the finished ducklings.
