Patterns of a tilde monkey from fabric. Do-it-yourself textile monkey from fabric master class We sew a monkey ourselves

Monkey toy All children will certainly like it, in addition, do not forget that the coming year will pass under the patronage of this particular mischievous and funny animal, which is why it is definitely worth making.

DIY finger toy monkey

If you are not yet a true sewing master, then we recommend that you start your work with felt. This material is notable for the fact that it is very easy to work with - it is textured, holds its shape well, and does not crumble. We suggest you do monkey - educational toy on your finger. This will be Shoe, known to all children, friend and ally of Dasha the Traveler. And then you can make it.

If you have the opportunity to choose a material, then prepare acrylic felt (3 mm thick) for making large parts, and viscose felt (1 mm thick) for small parts.

Draw it yourself or print it from the Internet monkey toy pattern. From blue material you will need to make 2 elements of the body, as well as 4 paired elements of the legs and the outer side of the ears. Yellow – tummy. Pink – 2 elements of the palms and the same amount of the inner part of the ears, 1 muzzle. Brown – mouth, black – 2 pupils, white – 2 eye whites, red – tongue.

Using Moment Crystal glue, glue the details of the whites of the eyes in the upper part of the muzzle. To fix them better, it is necessary to sew with white floss threads, use a “back needle” stitch. Then glue the black pupils on top of the whites. On each of them you should embroider a “French knot” with the same white floss. This way you will fix the eyes and add liveliness to them.

At the bottom of the muzzle, glue an element for the mouth, and then sew it along the contour with brown floss, using the same type of seam. Glue a tongue at the bottom of the mouth and cover it with red thread.

The nose is made very simply - two “French knots” with black thread, they will play the role of nostrils.

Glue the tummy to one of the blue parts of the body, which should be sewn with a loop stitch along the contour using yellow floss. Glue the finished part of the muzzle to the body, also overcast it with a buttonhole stitch, but use pink thread.

Glue the palms to the paws, and then sew them in pink. Please note that the seam should only go along the flat side of the workpiece. Glue the paw blanks together in pairs. Cover your paw with blue thread and your palm with pink thread. Secure the parts for the ears, first with glue, and then with pink and blue threads.

Pin together the parts of the body and sew them along the contour using an overcast stitch (blue floss). At the bottom of the toy you will need to leave an unsewn hole where the finger will be inserted.

Be sure to sew and.

DIY soft monkey toy

Every child will be happy to receive a handmade toy as a gift, and if it is an acrobat monkey, then happiness will know no bounds! In addition, such a funny “handicraft” will serve as an excellent interior decoration for a child’s room.

First of all you need to create DIY monkey toys patterns– draw details for the head, muzzle, belly, torso, ear and tail. Cut out templates from paper or cardboard.

Take a light brown fleece and fold it in half, attach a template for the head and cut out the father of the blanks for the head, not forgetting about 0.5 cm seam allowances. These blanks should be sewn on a sewing machine or by hand, leaving a small hole for subsequent stuffing. Turn out the head of the acrobat monkey and stuff it with padding polyester or other soft filling that you have.

Do the same with the blank for the body, and sew up the darts on the fleece. Sew the parts along the edge, leaving a hole in the neck area. Stuff the body with padding polyester, and then manually sew up the hole for stuffing. Carefully sew the head and body together.

Place the muzzle and belly templates onto the yellow fleece and cut without seam allowance. But for the ears, allowances should definitely be taken into account - you should end up with 2 yellow and 2 light brown fleece blanks. Sew ear blanks of different colors in pairs (do not sew on one side). Turn the ears inside out, and then sew the unfixed sides on them, sew them on the sides on the head. Hand sew the yellow muzzle on the front using a loop stitch. Sew the yellow belly to the body.

To make the paws, you should cut out four fleece rectangles 12 by 7 cm. Fold each shape in half along the long side, and sew along the edges with a sewing machine. Turn out the blanks and straighten them.

Using the template, prepare 4 yellow and 4 brown fleece pieces - these will be the palms. Fold palms of different colors in pairs, leaving one side unstitched on each. Turn the blanks out and stuff them, but you should not put very much padding polyester.

Cut 5 pieces of 30 cm long from a coil of flexible wire (for example, you can take wire for gardening). Fold each one in half and twist. They will serve as a frame for the paws and tail, making them flexible. Wrap the wire frames with padding polyester. Insert the frames into each paw and place the palms on top.

Using the templates, cut out the cinnamon fleece blanks for the tail, taking into account the seam allowances. Sew the tail, turn it inside out and insert the wire frame.

Sew the hands to the paws, close all the holes on the paws and tail.

Attach the limbs to the figure. Now all that remains is to decorate the face - embroider the mouth with red threads, and the nose with brown threads. Glue the eyes. So your wonderful toy is ready - you can place it on a bookshelf or hang it on a sports complex.

Be sure to make it - it will also be unusually cute.

Soft toy monkey patterns

And here are a few more do-it-yourself soft toy monkey patterns for making a wide variety of cute primates.

Soft toy monkey using felting technique

First of all, you need to felt the head; its size will depend on the size of the previously selected and purchased eyes. First you need to build a ball from a bunch of thin beige wool. Remember that during operation the beam will decrease in size by about half.

The bundle should be shaped into a ball using a needle number 36, and should be worked on a sponge. After the head blank has acquired some density, place the tool on the crown needle. Remember that it must enter the material at a right angle.

Use it to outline the outlines of the animal’s “face”. Be sure to make indentations for the eyes (they should match the size of the pre-prepared eyes), you can use a thicker “tool” for them. Fix the eyes in their sockets using Crystal Moment glue.

To make a nose, tangle a small beige bunch with your fingers, then start using a needle number 40. Place the part in the required place, form the nostrils. Do the same with the eyelids, only the bunch for making each one should be larger. Next will be the brow ridges and wrinkles at the bottom of the eye. Using a crown needle, create a smile line.

To mark the hairline, take a little brown wool, crumple up a “cloud” and roll it to the head.

In principle, you can already start tinting your “face”; for this purpose you can use dry pastels or the most ordinary eye shadows. Wrap cotton wool around a toothpick and use it to apply “cosmetics” - highlight the folds on the face with a light brown color.

To create an ear, take a fairly large bunch of beige color and give it the required shape - first work No. 36, then the “crown”, and then No. 40. There is no need to process the lower edge - use it to roll the ear to the head along the perimeter.

To make the body, take the same material, the bunch should be large enough - it needs to be given a pear-shaped shape, but the upper edge should not be felted. Felt the head and body together.

At the same time, make two frames for handles from wire (if you do it in turn, you may not guess with the sizes). Using a thin needle, make a “sausage” from a small bundle of wool, drop a drop of “Moment Crystal” onto one end of the “sausage”. Fasten it to your thumb, and then wrap it around the frame. Process all the fingers of the felting tools, add more hairs to the palm, forming a “cake”. Make the second limb in exactly the same way, and the fingers on it can be bent in a different way. So, the brushes are ready, now you need to create the hand itself - a woolen tube. Attach the brush to it on one side, then bend the tube at the elbow and pierce it through at the bend - this will secure this position. Use the second end to lay the limb to the body. Do the same with the other handle.

Master class “We sew the symbol of the New Year - a soft toy monkey”

Karaeva Tatyana Aleksandrovna, teacher of additional education MBOU DOD "CDOD" s/p "Rovesnik" Prokopyevsk, Kemerovo region.
Description: The master class is designed for children of high school age, additional education teachers, educators, and simply creative people who love to create something special with their own hands.
Purpose: New Year's gift
Target: sewing a monkey with your own hands.
Tasks:
teach the technique of sewing a monkey on a sewing machine;
teach how to install and fasten cotter pins on a toy using pliers;
strengthen skills in working with scissors;
develop fine motor skills of the hands and eye;
develop artistic and aesthetic taste;
develop creativity, fantasy, imagination.

Preface to the work
Today mass production offers a huge selection of soft toys. Why sew yourself, you ask? Sewing a soft toy, first of all, is the realization of your child’s dream, or maybe your unfulfilled childhood dream. There can be many reasons: making a gift, hobby, business, or just want to be the owner of a unique toy - one of a kind, and finally, this is a very budget option. For sewing soft toys, leftover fabrics are used that are no longer needed and you get the toy for practically nothing, not counting the effort you spent on making it.
In this master class we will sew a soft toy - a monkey, the symbol of 2016.

We will need tools and materials for work
Velvet - brown stretch
Beige knitwear for the muzzle, palms, inner ears and feet
Soap for transferring the pattern onto fabric
Scissors for cutting out toy parts
Monkey pattern
Synthetic fluff, metal granules (1.5 mm in size) for stuffing
Cotton threads in two colors: beige and brown.
Hand needle for sewing small parts of the monkey
Small black eyes, 7 millimeters in size
Medium sized brown nose.
Nippers for reducing the size of cotter pins
10 washers (1 centimeter in diameter) and 10 cotter pins (3 centimeters) for attaching the legs and arms of the monkey
10 disks cut from thick cardboard to fit the legs and arms
Round nose pliers for tightening cotter pins
Eyelashes for a monkey
Sewing machine
Pins to hold the pattern pieces together
Tail wire



You and I will have to spend a little money on purchasing washers, cotter pins, metal granules, eyes and a spout, but this is a small thing compared to the prices of a soft toy.
Washer- this is a flat ring, a plate with a hole, placed under a nut or bolt, in our case to secure cotter pins.
Cotter pin- a metal elastic fastener made in the form of a semicircular wire rod, bent in half to form an eye at the bend. It is used to fasten lightly loaded parts, or to prevent self-unscrewing of nuts. To install a cotter pin, it is inserted into the through hole intended for it, and then the ends are twisted.
Metal granulate
What they are - these are steel balls that are used to weight the paws and torso of the toy and, as a result, increase its stability. Comes in three sizes:
large size implies a ball diameter of about 2.5 mm.
average size - ball diameter approximately 1.5 mm
small size - ball diameter about 0.5 mm
The size of the granules is selected according to your own preferences and creative ideas, taking into account the size of the toy and the material used for their manufacture.

Safety precautions when working with hand needles and pins
1. Make sure there are no rusty or bent needles or pins.
2. Sewing with a thimble.
3. Do not put needles or pins in your mouth or stick them into clothing.
4. Do not leave needles and pins on the work surface of the table.
5 . Upon completion of work, remove all needles and pins into special boxes and pads.

Safety precautions when working with scissors
Scissors must be well adjusted and sharpened.
Store scissors in a specific place (box or stand).
When using scissors, be as careful and disciplined as possible.
When passing scissors, hold them by the closed blades.
Place the scissors on the right with the blades closed, pointing away from you.
When cutting, the narrow blade of the scissors should be down.

Safety precautions when working with a sewing machine
To avoid injury when working on a sewing machine, you must:
Promptly and carefully care for the equipment, check the serviceability (safety of insulation, electrical wire connections, serviceability of the plug, integrity of the machine needle, etc.)
It is good to organize your workplace: there is a rubber mat on the floor; you cannot place scissors and other tools near the rotating parts of the machine.
You cannot work in unfastened clothes, long hair must be tied up, and do not lean close to the machine to avoid hitting the moving thread take-up.
Do not pass scissors, product or parts while the machine is running. To do this, you need to stop working on the machine, transfer the necessary item and start working again.
Install the bobbin case and thread the upper thread with the machine turned off.
Before you begin cleaning and lubricating the machine, you should turn off the electric motor and remove your foot from the pedal.
Use dry hands to connect or disconnect the electrical plug from the socket to avoid electric shock.

Safety precautions when working with pliers
Before work, check the serviceability of the tool.
Never use pliers as a hammer. Such abuse will most likely result in tool failure
Only bite off hardened wire with pliers designed for this purpose.
Always cut the wire at right angles. Never move the pliers from side to side or bend the wire back and forth away from the cutting edges.
When working with pliers, do not hold the wire at face level.
When working, do not place the fingers of your left hand (if you are left-handed, then behind the fingers of your right hand) between the cutting edges.
Hand the tool to a friend with the handles first and closed.
After work, put the tool back in its place.

Work sequence
Monkey pattern


1. Find a monkey pattern on the Internet. We print the pattern on the printer. Cut out the details of the monkey pattern.


2. Lay out the details of the monkey pattern on beige knitwear. We outline the pattern details with a soap remnant: muzzle (2 parts), foot (2 parts), ear (2 parts), palm (2 parts), nose (1 part).


3. Cut out the monkey parts from beige jersey with seam allowances (0.5 centimeters)


4. Lay out the details of the monkey pattern on brown stretch velvet. We outline the details of the pattern with soap: the torso (2 parts), the leg (4 parts), the outer part of the arm (2 parts). Cut out the pieces with seam allowances.


5. Lay out the details of the monkey pattern on brown stretch velvet. We outline the details of the pattern with soap: the head (2 parts), the inner part of the arm (2 parts). Cut out the pieces with seam allowances.


6. Lay out the details of the monkey pattern on brown stretch velvet. We outline the details of the pattern with soap: the middle part of the head (1 part), the tail (1 part). Cut out the pieces with seam allowances.

9. Sew the pinned parts together using a sewing machine, leaving the holes unsewn for stuffing and sewing the feet into the legs.


10. The body, legs, ears, tail and the inside of the arms and palms are sewn.


11. Using scissors, we make cuts along the contour of the ears, not reaching the seam 2-3 millimeters for ease of turning right side out.


12. Turn the ears inside out.


13. Fold the ear sections inward and sew them up with a blind stitch.


14. Using two hidden stitches, we fasten the eyelet in the middle to give it a concave shape.


15. In the same way we sew the second eye. The ears are ready.


16. Place the inner parts of the handles with the outer parts of the handles. We pin it with pins.


17. Sew along the contour using a sewing machine, leaving a hole for stuffing.


18. We make cuts along the entire contour of the handles with scissors, not reaching the seam 2-3 millimeters for ease of turning right side out.


19. Turn out the handles.


20. Using pins, pin one side of the head with the middle part of the head.


21. Stitch using a sewing machine.


22. We chop and sew the second side part of the head in the same way.


23. Using a needle and thread, we sweep and baste the muzzle to the head. Stitch the needle forward with the seam.


24. We fill our heads a little with synthetic fluff. Use needles to mark the position of the eyes and nose.


25. Use an awl to pierce the places where the eyes and nose are located. We insert the eyes and nose and snap them into place with plastic fasteners. We fill our heads with synthetic fluff.


26. Prepare the cotter pins by inserting one into the other. Using wire cutters we reduce the size of the cotter pins by half (it is better, of course, to buy cotter pins of a smaller size -2 centimeters)


27. We pass the cotter pin and washer through the neck disc and insert it into the hole in the head. We sew up the hole along the neck line, gathering the fabric around the cotter pin, and fasten the thread.


28. Sew the ears to the monkey’s head, embroider the mouth, try on the eyelashes.


29. Using an awl, we pierce the marked holes for the cotter pins in the monkey’s body. We insert the cotter pins, place discs and washers on them, and tighten the inner cotter pins using pliers. Turn the torso right side out.


30. We insert the monkey’s head with a cotter pin into the hole in the body. We tighten the fabric around the cotter pin with a needle and thread. Place the disk on the cotter pin, then the washer. Tighten the cotter pin using pliers.


31. Stuff the lower part of the body with a small amount of synthetic fluff.

39. Insert a cotter pin into the resulting hole and place a disk and washer on it.


40. Tighten the cotter pin using pliers.


41. Through the unsewn hole, we stuff the leg with synthetic fluff, fill it with metal granules, and continue stuffing with synthetic fluff. Sew up the hole using a blind stitch.


42. In the same way, we attach the second leg to the body, stuff it and sew up the hole with a blind stitch.

From this master class you will learn how very easily you can sew a monkey for the New Year using templates. Since the monkey is considered a symbol of 2016, we will also sew festive New Year’s clothes for it with our own hands.

To sew a monkey we will need:

  • paper pattern without seam allowances;
  • the main fabric is thin faux fur (I took the lining from an old jacket);
  • padding polyester or other filler;
  • for work - threads to match the main fabric, scissors, pins, sewing needle, chalk for drawing.

Sew a plush monkey - master class step by step

We fold the main fabric in half face to face so that the pile in both layers points down along the body of our pattern.

We lay out the pattern on the fabric, pin it with pins and outline it with chalk.

In this position, we stitch around the contour of body part No. 5 (except for the neck), ear parts No. 3 (leaving the upper edge unstitched for turning), head part No. 1 only on the right side, head part No. 2 also only on the right side, leaving a hole in the middle to turn out the whole ball.

We simply cut out the “brain” part No. 4, adding seam allowances. Please note this is one piece, so we cut only along the top layer of fabric.

Cut out the remaining parts according to the allowances. For the tail, we leave a strip of fabric measuring 16x4 cm, which we later sew along the strip.

From head parts No. 1 and No. 2 we sew a ball.

We turn all the sewn parts inside out.

We fill the “ball” of the head with padding polyester through the hole that we left in part No. 2.

We collect the cut out part of the “brain” along the contour onto a thread, slightly tighten it to form a hemisphere and fill it with padding polyester.

From the parts of the “ball” of the head, ears and “brain” we form a whole head using a needle and thread.

We also fill the “bag” of the body with padding polyester using a wooden stick.

We have all the main parts of the product ready. You can connect them using a needle and thread.

The base of our monkey is ready.

Now we do the monkey’s makeup, hair and put on New Year’s clothes.

For this we need:

  • white felt for eyes;
  • two black buttons for the pupils of the eyes;
  • red knitting thread for lips;
  • a little fringe for the forelock;
  • blue felt for coat;
  • faux white fur for collar;
  • hats and boots;
  • small beads for beads;
  • strip of white tulle;
  • a piece of elastic for a skirt;
  • silver ribbon for the belt and bows on the boots;
  • glue and candle for making a forelock.

We roll up the fringe and our hairstyle is ready. Using glue, attach it to the head.

Pattern for clothing without seam allowances. It's not difficult to figure it out. We use the coat detail for both the back and the front. We make a cut on the shelf at the fold. We attach faux white fur to both sides and to the collar.

We make a small ring from an elastic band around the monkey’s waist. We thread half of the tulle inside the ring and connect the two edges. We sew the tulle outside the elastic. Fold the tulle strip in half and gather it with a thread and a needle at the fold. The folds should be evenly distributed.

We embroider the mouth with red thread, decorate the forelock with fur, attach the eyes from felt, and attach beads. We put on a tulle skirt, and decorate the legs with fur boots, tying them with a silver ribbon.

A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Welcome to everyone on the blog today! It's winter outside, everyone is busy with New Year's worries. Perhaps you are reading this article at a slightly different time, but now 2016 is coming and many are terribly interested in: how to create a monkey with your own hands? I will answer this question today.

I couldn’t get over the New Year fever and that’s why I sewed the symbol of the year - a very unusual Mimi monkey as a gift for my husband.

He doesn’t read my articles often, thank God, he won’t see it in advance)) And you can make this sweetest creature and almost a couple dozen more cute monkeys.

DIY monkey toy: master classes with patterns

Before dumping on you a bunch of ideas from other masters, to whom by chance I gained access, I will tell you about that wonderful representative of the animal world that was born to me just the other day.

Her name is Mimi, a blueberry monkey hiding in an ice cream cup. She has a terrible sweet tooth, so she doesn’t come out of her hiding place.

Prepare for it:

  • felt (thick for the cup and soft in two contrasting colors for the head and muzzle)
  • threads in the color of thick and soft felt + black for the nose
  • lace 6-10 cm wide
  • beads, sequins
  • two half beads for eyes
  • padding polyester for stuffing
  • patterns, pencil, scissors

First of all, prepare your patterns. They are quite easy to make:

  • head - a circle with a diameter of 20 cm,
  • a cup of ice cream - a quarter of a circle with a radius of 14.5 cm with a right angle cut off (slightly, so as not to interfere with stitching) and lines drawn at equal distances as in the photo.

And here are the patterns for the ears and muzzle (for the muzzle you will need 4 larger pieces and 2 small ones):

Cut out all the parts. It is best to make the muzzle and the inside of the ears light, and the head and the outside of the ears dark.

Pencil lines indicate the places where you will need to lay lines of backstitch stitches. If you don't want to make this decorative element, you can simply cut a quarter circle out of thick felt.

The side on which the pencil lines were drawn is the wrong side. Here we leave all the knots and irregularities, bringing the thread to the opposite, clean side.

The result should be something similar:

In the end you will get an imitation of the grid like on the cones of waffle cones

Sew the horn blank at the back using a hidden seam.

Since my felt was very thick, I additionally glued the joints with transparent glue.

I decided to cover the seam with a piece of lace and several sequins with beads. To make the tip of the cone sharp like a real ice cream cone, I sewed a bead and beads onto it.

Fill the cone with padding polyester. To get the stuffing through to the sharpest point, take a ball-shaped knitting needle or hairpin and push the fibers inside.

Take a circle of soft felt and sweep it along the edge using a needle-forward stitch, pull it together, and stuff it. Stuff it tightly so that the future head is almost like a tennis ball. The main thing is not to overdo it - the thread will break.

After stuffing, pull the hole all the way and secure.

Take two parts of the outer and inner ear. Sew the inner ears using a needle-forward stitch to the larger parts.

Sew the ears with the same seam.

Sew the muzzle to the head, placing it in the place with the least amount of folds. Naturally, the place where the sewn hole is located should be at the bottom.

The ears can be sewn to the head with a hidden seam or carefully glued with transparent glue. Pre-mark the locations of the ears so that they do not move somewhere.

I placed the ears not exactly in the middle of the head, but a little closer to the muzzle, so that there was a difference between the muzzle and the back of the head.

The main parts are ready, it's a matter of finishing. Take the lace, cut a piece from it twice as long as the maximum conical circumference. Sweep it along the center line, pulling it together so that the resulting element is slightly less than the circumference of the horn.

Sew the ends together. Place the resulting circle of lace on the monkey’s head and glue or sew it. Then make sure that the sewn hole is in the center of the circle.

Now the most important thing:

  • glue or sew the head to the horn body;
  • embroider the nose
  • glue the eyes.

That's all. To emphasize Mimi's "ice creaminess", you can sew a circle with beads on her head, imitating jam and some decorative element like a cherry or a crown.

Believe me, this will be one of the most original New Year's (and not only) monkeys. If you want to make an inexpensive gift, then this is one of the best options.

Update from 01.2016 - final photo:

Other DIY felt and fabric monkeys

Felt is an incredibly popular material. It is not surprising that a whole sea of ​​monkeys were made from it of different stripes.

Finger Theater

The monkeys here are so simple that patterns can be made literally from photos. Take thick, synthetic felt so that the toy does not lose its appearance.


Sweet heart baby

And this monkey can be a declaration of love. Just look at his hearty face

Dreamy guest from the jungle

Again, all the patterns are so clearly visible that they can be copied directly from the photo. In addition, I suggest you make something like a garland: take a thick rope (you can buy it at hardware stores) and cut the leaves. The monkey will be the final element.

Slightly scary

I came across this miracle on the Internet. I suspect that this is a character from some wildly popular game or something like that.

To lighten the look, remove the fangs and make your mouth smile.

Children's cube

Or Minecraft is taking over the plush world. Quite often I see cubic animals. I think it’s not difficult to explain this - the patterns are as simple as possible (you can draw 6 squares), your imagination is not limited by anything, and you rarely see this on store shelves.

Felt was used again for this monkey, but you can also experiment with fleece or faux fur.

Tip: if you strengthen the monkey from the inside with plastic inserts, then you can make a small hole at the top and turn a simple toy into a piggy bank.

African madam

A very extravagant person met me in the vastness of my beloved DeviantArt. This is one of those models about which even the most ardent haters of New Year's surprises with the symbol of the year can only say “wow.”

There is an interesting combination of felt and thick cotton fabric. The bottom is an oval, and everything else is “readable” from the photo.


Baby

A cute child reaching out to you with his little paws. The head, tail and front legs are cut from two parts, but the body consists of three parts - the tummy (the legs are fused with it), the back and the bottom.


Brother and sister

But here the Chinese masters have already tried their best. The patterns are clickable, take them to your piggy bank. The monkeys themselves can be sewn from felt, but their clothes are already made from cotton fabric.


And again dreams

Sew this simple monkey from cotton fabric. Embroider the muzzle in advance.

Keychain

This monkey can be placed on your keys or simply hung at home. Very simple and cute, few materials required.

Brooch

And here is a man in monkey form. A little later I’ll show you how to make a monkey costume.

Barrette

For little fashionistas, the best gift is a cute children's accessory. This could be a small hairpin made of thick felt. Please note - all the parts are glued together, and the seam is drawn with a marker, as is the muzzle.

Monkey costume for big and small

Continuing the theme of children's and other decorations, I would like to present to your attention an original carnival costume. for it you will again need felt, as well as a lace and a headband.

Cut out all the parts according to the patterns (they are clickable). Sew the ears, tail and belt, sewing laces to the latter.

You can combine a suit like this (you can either sew a skirt and a T-shirt yourself or purchase it in a store):

And on the nails too

What would it be like without a holiday manicure? For it you will need five colors of varnish.

Case

You can complement your look with a super unusual phone or tablet case made of felt.

Photos - ideas from other materials

Paper monkey

To make it, print out the pattern, cut out all the parts and glue them together.


From socks

One of the most popular ideas, by the way. After completing some simple manipulations, you get an interesting designer toy that will take its rightful place among other souvenirs.

It is not necessary to take socks with a stripe on the heel. For example, how do you like this color combination?

From bottles (glasses)

For a themed party, this is it. To do this, cover or paint disposable cups brown and glue on the ears and muzzle. The same can be done with bottles.

From polymer clay

Or plasticine, depending on what you have on hand. An ideal craft to do with kids and only require three colors.

Monkey fist

I've heard about this site for a long time. He looks very interesting. By the way, it will serve as a very original decoration for the same New Year tree.

With this I say goodbye to you, dear readers. Come visit us more often and tell us what you liked the most? I will be very glad to see your creations

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

They become not only decoration, but also children’s favorite characters. Dolls are made in both human and animal shapes. The monkey toy is very interesting. You can make it with your own hands in different ways: sewing or crocheting.

Manufacturing options

A soft toy can be made like this:

As you can see, there are many ways to create a soft toy. Some are very simple and suitable even for inexperienced beginners. It is better to choose complex patterns and patterns if you already have skills in needlework.

What you need

So, a do-it-yourself monkey toy can be sewn using one of the above methods.

To work you need the following:

  • pattern or paper, pencil, eraser for its manufacture;
  • scissors;
