Cockerels made of paper and on paper

Making cards with the kids

If you are not a professional cardmaker, then before you start creating cards, be sure to read our article “Learning to make New Year cards with your own hands using the Scrapbooking technique.” In it you will not only find many ideas, but also get acquainted with the basic rules for creating postcards.

Any cockerel drawn by your child can be placed on a postcard. If it’s difficult for your child to figure out how to draw a rooster with his own hands, then show him this step-by-step instructions:

And then, it’s a matter of technology. Cut out the cockerel and make it the centerpiece of the composition. For example, your card can be this simple but cute. Use in your work New Year's paper and a bright red ribbon, add snowflakes, twigs and other holiday paraphernalia. Once you have a basic idea, the process of creating a card becomes much easier!

If your child likes to color black and white pictures, give him this opportunity. Print the card template with a cockerel on thick cardboard and let your child get to work. Next, by cutting out the ball blank, you can add to the card voluminous snowflakes, adhesive half-beads imitating christmas balls etc. etc. Give free rein to your imagination with your baby))

YOU WILL NEED IT

8 more templates for coloring, as well as 2 step by step instructions for drawing more realistic roosters you will find in the archive, which you can download quickly and for free!

Take note of the idea with a cockerel on a stick, like on Elena Yurchenko’s postcard. Her cockerels are cut out of felt, or you can cut them out of paper.

Roosters made of colored paper

An applique made of colored paper can also be placed on a greeting card. But such an application can itself act as a postcard. To draw and carefully cut out all the details, children will need the help of their parents, but they can glue them themselves.

Olga-15 suggests making funny cockerels out of paper in her master class.

The Rooster blank is a rectangular sheet of flexible paper or thin cardboard, folded in half lengthwise. Its size is 13.5x10 cm. We make 7-10 inclined slits along the fold line (approximately every 1 cm). Their angle of inclination is 50-70 degrees, and their depth is ¾ of the height of the folded sheet.

Ekaterina Ivanova in her video tutorial shows how to make a red rooster using the Origami technique:

Roosters using Quilling technique

A very interesting idea is to lay out only a luxurious rooster tail from quilling paper. It's not as hassle as laying out a whole rooster, and it can turn out very impressive! Here is a rooster without a tail as a basis (see the photo below for how it looked in the original).

Print it on a color printer, and then fantasize about the tail. As an example, here is one such work (although the tail here is modest, but you will try, right?))

And if you are not afraid to make a whole rooster using the Quilling technique, then you can use this ready-made postcard as a basis:

Or this template:

A cheat sheet on the basic elements of Quilling to help you:

Button applique

And here are absolutely stunning handsome roosters, made of multi-colored buttons, half-beads, rhinestones and beads! You can take the contours of the cockerels from our archive as a basis (link just above).

Crochet cockerels

Many needlewomen are familiar with the crochet hook and will be happy to knit a cockerel from multi-colored threads. And Krestik will help you decide on a model and offer several master classes on this type of needlework.

You can also buy knitted cockerels from Svetlana.

Felt roosters

The fastest and easiest options for creating a symbol of 2017 are felt roosters. The material is easy to process, holds the shape of the toy well, and does not require processing of seams. Vice versa, hand stitches the products give it a special flavor and charm.

You will need:

Felt in different colors

Hot glue, super glue or PVA glue

Ribbon or string (to hang the decoration)

Toothpicks, skewers or other parts that will act as lollipop sticks.

1. Cut one strip from each sheet of felt. You can choose its dimensions yourself, but in this example the length of the strips varies from 17.5 to 30 cm, and the width is 1 cm.

* For one lollipop you will need 6 strips. In this example, 2 stripes are used for each of the 3 selected colors.

2. Place all 6 strips on top of each other. Remember that as you roll the strip into a tube, some will start to stick out and you will need to trim them. The strip that is inside the tube will be the shortest, and the outside will be the longest.

* You can cut the strips with scissors as you twist them, or you can cut the necessary strips in advance (approximate length of each strip: 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30 cm).

3. Start rolling the strips, adding a little glue between them. Finally, make sure that the outer strip is longer than all the others. Glue the ends of the strips together.
