Making a craft "Mouse"

Many children enjoy making crafts from certain materials. In this article, we will take a closer look at how to make a do-it-yourself "Mouse" craft from beads, from lemon, from a clothespin and more.

For crafts you will need:

• lemon;
• knife;
• Carnation;
• green onion feathers.

Having prepared all the necessary materials, you can start making a lemon mouse. The work progress is not very difficult, but everything must be done step by step.

• Lemon first it is necessary to cut off the lower part, so that the craft gains stability. We make ears and a tail from the cut half of a lemon, cutting out these details with a knife. Use the scissors to give the mouse ears a more rounded shape.
• Now take the second slice of lemon, which is used as the little body of the animal, and with the help of a knife make several deep cuts on it, thereby marking the location of a pair of ears, eyes, whiskers and a tail. Separately make a slit for the mouse's mouth and bend it slightly.
• Now we fasten all the parts of the mouse together.... Insert the clove buds (eyes), bow (whiskers), mouse tail and ears into the ready-made slots.

For children, it will be easier than ever to make a mouse out of ordinary colored paper. You will need PVA glue, scissors and a sheet of paper of the color you need. There are many options for creating such a craft. For example, you can make a mouse in the form of a "bag" folded into a cone. To do this, you need to make such a blank, as shown in the figure below, and roll it up, fastening it along the edge with PVA glue or tape.Next, two circles are cut out, as in the picture, antennae and tail, and then attached to the mouse. It remains only to draw the face of the animal. Ready!

There is a more complex version of making the "Mouse" craft. To do this, you also need colored paper, a simple pencil, PVA glue or tape, scissors, as well as pre-printed and cut templates.

Having prepared all the necessary materials, you can proceed to the step-by-step execution of the work.

• First of all, one should circle the templates on colored paper and cut out all the necessary elements. Please note that the front and hind legs of the animal are cut in pairs.
• Next, we proceed according to the scheme. The body in the form of an oval must be bent along the outlined dotted lines in order to thereby indicate the back of the animal. In a similar way, we make a fold along the selected lines, indicating the ears on the mouse's head. Almost ready! It remains only to glue all the parts of the mouse together and draw a muzzle with a felt-tip pen.

To make a mouse out of beads, you will need to work hard and for a long time, but this activity, as a rule, fascinates children. Before you start weaving, you need to carefully study the scheme of the toy and prepare the necessary materials, including small or large beads of the color you need, meter wire and scissors. The mascot mouse shown in the diagram is made using a parallel weaving technique. It involves weaving by passing a wire or fishing line towards each other through beads or beads in accordance with the pattern, due to which, as a result, parallel rows fastened together are obtained. Upon completion, you will receive a small and adorable flat toy mascot mouse.

There is also another weaving technique. It is more complex, but with its help you can make a volumetric animal.... To do this, you just need not to lay the resulting rows in one plane, but to fold them like an accordion. You can make a voluminous mouse from beads according to the scheme presented below. If you look closely at the figure, you will notice that the numbers indicating the serial number of the row are repeated.

It will not be difficult to make your own hands and a mouse from a clothespin. To do this, you will need an ordinary wooden clothespin, PVA glue, pieces of felt of two colors, scissors, eyes and a thick black thread.

First of all, you need to cut out the mouse ears from felt. To do this, cut out two circles of the same color and the same size and two more circles of a different color and smaller. We fasten a small circle with a large one with glue and thus get ears, after which we attach them to a clothespin again with glue.

Now we make a mouse tail from the same felt. To do this, cut out a long strip, the width of which should correspond to the width of the clothespin. We fasten the tail to the clothespin, and fold the rest of it in half and also fasten it.

From black thick threads (you can use yarn for knitting) we make antennae, fix them with glue. We attach the eyes in the same way. The mouse is ready!

The easiest way for a child will be to make a mouse from plasticine. For this, he will not need help from adults; he will be able to cope with this task himself. To make such a craft, you will need two plasticine bars of different colors, plastic eyes, stacks to cut out some parts with it, a board on which the entire working process will be carried out, and napkins to wipe your hands in the process. Having prepared everything you need, you can start sculpting.

• We take one of the plasticine bars of the color you need and cut off a large piece. It is from it that the mouse body will be formed. From this piece, you need to roll an oval.Using your fingers, slightly stretch the resulting shape at its very tip to form a muzzle.
• Next, we do ears and tail of the same color.
• From plasticine of a different color we make paws and a nose.
• We fasten it all together and use the stack to cut out additional details. It remains only to attach plastic eyes to the mouse's face. If there are none, it is quite possible to mold them from plasticine. The mouse is ready!

Craft "Mouse" can also be done:

• from ordinary walnut shells, seeds and thread, as shown in the picture below;
• from eggs from kinder and plasticine;
• using sheets of felt of the color you need and a synthetic winterizer for filling according to the supplied template.
