A wonderful red toy bird with its

Good afternoon, dear readers. In this article we will tell you how to make a beautiful toy bird from unnecessary fabric or old clothes. This bird would make a great gift because it looks like it came from a store. To work with it we needed: an old red hat, scissors, thread and a needle, yellow and purple nail polish, as well as filler (cotton wool), white plastic sheets, white paper for making a sample, a pencil, reliable glue and red rhinestones colors.
It took us one week to make this toy.

We begin work by drawing up a paper sample of the future toy, which we need to cut out:



We divide the old hat taken for work into four large parts. We will not use the black inner bedding, so it can be removed:



Next, we cut the paper sample into four parts - two parts of the head and two parts of the body (upper and lower). And then from another sheet of paper we use these samples to make the same number of parts to make the second side:



Now we pin our pieces to the fabric.
If the fabric is covered with fur, then it is important that the fur on the finished toy is directed from head to tail. And each piece needs to be cut out of fabric with a small indentation (allowance):



Next, we need to sew the parts of the body and head in pairs, connecting the parts of the sides:



After that, we take white plastic or cardboard and cut out the details of the beak and paws from it, after which we paint them with yellow nail polish:



When the varnish has dried, we need to sew together the details of the sides of the head and body. And inside, between the parts of the head, you need to place a plastic beak:




Now we need to turn the sewn parts inside out and fill them with cotton wool. You can glue rhinestones to the head of the future toy, which will serve as its eyes, and from the white fabric of an old hat you can make an additional decoration for the neck of the toy bird:




We turn the body of the future toy inside out:



We fill both parts turned inside out with cotton wool:



After this, we cut out two wing parts and one tail part from white plastic:



For the wings we need to cut out four pieces of fabric for the upper sides:



We need to glue the resulting fabric parts to the wings using reliable glue:



After waiting for the glue to dry, we sew the resulting wings to the craft:




For the plastic tail piece, we cut out a triangular piece from fabric, shaped like the top of the tail piece (but slightly larger). We need to trim the upper part of the tail part:



Next, the piece cut out of the fabric needs to be glued to the white plastic part of the tail:



After the glue has dried, the resulting tail will need to be sewn or glued to the back of the craft from the top so that the part matches the size of the body:



Now we are left with the last step: coloring the feathers on the wings and tail of the toy bird.For this job you can use nail polish:



After painting, our toy can be considered ready:



It looks like a real toy bought in a store:




If you wish, you can make new feathers for the toy's tail by cutting them out of cardboard:



New feathers can be glued to the tail from the underside and painted with varnish, and the old ones can be cut short:



After this, our toy will be ready.
