In ancient times, the first day of the New Year was the holiday of Komoyeditsa, which was celebrated on March 21. Subsequently, the first day of the calendar was moved to the day of the autumn equinox, namely: September 21-23. It begins at the point of the autumn equinox, which is easily determined on the horizon when observing the place of sunrise or sunset of the Yarila-Sun.
According to the Slavic calendar, the upcoming year 7525 (2017) is considered the year of wealth, both monetary and any other. This year it is possible to accumulate wealth, acquire, also receive for past merits, the year of revealing one's talents, skill, profit growth in everything, including profit in the family, increase in wisdom and knowledge.
We invite you to a master class on creating the Russian symbol of 2017, welcome to our creative workshop!

Materials and tools:
-Glass bottle
- old plasticine
-toothpaste
-gouache
-brushes
- bank for water
-cloth
-Polish for hair

Master class progress:

We begin work on the image by preparing the surface of the bottle for sculpting the main details of the character. First, we tighten the entire surface of the bottle with a thin layer of plasticine.

On the neck of the bottle we create a hat-cylinder. To do this, we need plasticine in the form of a long sausage, which we flatten and fix on the surface of the product, closing the molding part into a ring.

Next, we will make a muzzle. We start with the spout - we need two sausages, which we fix just above the middle of the bottle.

We sharpen the tips of the sausages, stretch them out with our fingers - we create the shape of the fox's open mouth.

We sculpt paws - be sure to well lubricate all the details of the sculpting to the product.

From flattened ovals we make eyes.

We supplement the image of Lisa Patrikeevna with a mushroom. For his legs, we roll up a sausage, and create a hat from a round cake. We place the finished mushroom in the paws of the fox, fix it.

We make a skirt. A long sausage is flattened and attached to the bottom of the product in the form of folds (bends of plasticine). Then we sculpt the tail.

In order to start painting the product, we need to degrease the plasticine. To do this, cover the fox with a thin (almost transparent) layer of toothpaste, using a brush.

When the paste dries, we start painting. We apply the first layer of paint, we used ocher, on the entire product. Let the color dry a little and apply the second main color, orange, on the head, tail, paws and half of the body. Paint the mushroom cap red.

Just below the arms we will have a three-color skirt: blue, red and gold stripes.

The fox is famous for its fur - let's give it a gloss, for this we need silver gouache - we make strokes all over the orange color of the character.

We turn the mushroom into a fly agaric-white leg and dots on the hat. We draw a white tip on the tail and white eyes.

Then we finalize the eyes - draw green and black ovals. We decorate the mouth of the fox in red.

Draw eyelashes with white and black gouache.

We decorate the hat with golden gouache, draw a black nose and white teeth. We decorate the skirt with white color - draw lines around the entire circumference of the craft.
We supplement our New Year's symbol of the Fox with a leaf and a snail on it - we sculpt it from plasticine, and the work is completed. After the paints have dried, we cover the product with varnish.

Idea number 1. Master class miracles in the chicken coop

The pillow, which depicts a bright cockerel or his favorite chickens, will not leave anyone indifferent. Such an accessory will pleasantly enliven the atmosphere of any room in the house - whether it be a living room, a bedroom, a nursery or even a kitchen, not only for the new year 2017, but also at any other time. Moreover, it is not difficult to make this miracle.

Such a multi-colored cockerel is performed in the form of an application. First you need to draw and cut out the individual parts of the cockerel from paper, and then, picking up bright fabrics of different colors and ornaments, cut out individual elements of the future pillow decoration from them according to ready-made patterns. Then the elements are carefully sewn to the base. Together with a cockerel on a pillow, flowers, grass, butterflies, ladybugs will get along perfectly - in a word, everything that your imagination will inspire you to do.

Instead of one owner of the poultry yard, you can depict a lot of chickens, choosing for them interesting combinations of fabrics with different ornaments - from small peas and cages to cheerful flowers. Such an application will look organically on a plain fabric of light colors.

Idea number 2. Let's fly!

Volumetric stylized figurines of cockerels and hens suspended on a string will look great, which will be a great alternative to a static panel to create a festive atmosphere for the new 2017. Such crafts - a symbol of the year, made with your own hands, can be easily hung from place to place, coloring with bright colors one or the other corner of the apartment. A brood of hens will please anyone - from an elderly grandmother to a fashionable teenager - the birds impress with style and creativity, carry the warmth of your hands and are endowed with their own special character.

Hens

On one pattern, we cut out the blank of the future chicken, consisting of 2 parts and stitching them together, stuffing with cotton wool. Separately, we make and sew on a comb, beard, beak and eyes. On top of the chickens, you can decorate to your liking with flowers (as in the photo), beads, rhinestones or even feathers, additionally quilting the sides over the entire surface or only along the edge. Do not forget about the legs - we make them from a thick thread, and the buttons sewn together will serve as paws. You can make several of these birds and hang them by the braid.

funny roosters

The master class for making such an installation is extremely simple. Cockerels are made from pieces of multi-colored fabrics shaped like an egg. We give a resemblance to the original by sewing on a scallop, beak and eyes, and attach a little straw from below to make something like a nest. We hang the birds on thick threads of different lengths, threading beads on their ends. At the final stage, we attach the cockerels to a plank, stick or twig, providing a rope on it so that it is convenient to hang our craft for it. The ends of the branch can be decorated with several pieces of paper or fabric, fixing them with glue.

Rooster-heart

If there are cute trinkets, then this craft belongs to them in the first place. You can make it from multi-colored felt, experimenting with color combinations, because the cockerel, as you know, is a motley bird. So, the base of 2 parts is cut out in the shape of a heart, the middle is filled with cotton wool, the edges are neatly overcast by hand. A bright tail, comb-beard, beak, eyes and wings are cut out, carefully sewn to the base. A braid is sewn in the middle, for which it will be convenient to hang the cockerel wherever you want it. Such a master class involves the manufacture of cockerels of various sizes and in any quantity. Birds can become an excellent decoration for the Christmas tree, you can even build a garland from them, or you can hang them somewhere in the house, where this cheerful company will delight the eye and soul.

Idea number 3. Funny anti-stress cockerels

This master class will allow you to make a voluminous cockerel for the new year 2017, which can be placed on shelves, a table, a nightstand. It perfectly holds its shape and pleases the eye with its cheerful and unusual design.

The voluminous cockerel fits perfectly both into festive weekdays and into everyday interior, making it brighter, more interesting, more fun. He looks funny and invariably cheers up everyone who looks at him.

So, to begin with, we select the fabric from which we will sew the cockerel. It is better to opt for bright materials with a colorful, positive pattern - peas, flowers, a cage, a strip. A plain fabric is also suitable, from which you can make various bold combinations. Procedure:

• we cut out a square bag from the fabric;
• we sew in its edges, pre-cut scallop, nose and beard;
• put cotton wool or a special filler inside the bag;
• we sew the remaining edges so that we get a pyramid cockerel.

With a special desire, the bird can make paws from red threads - it will look very funny. Such a cockerel will sit well where it is determined. If you wish, you can make a whole poultry yard - a cockerel with many chickens and even small fluffy chickens.

Idea number 4. Golden scallop

Rooster - a symbol of 2017, it will not be difficult to make, having the necessary pattern of details. Having picked up a boring, cheerful material, we cut out blanks for the base and wings attached to the photo, sew them together and stuff them with cotton wool. The body and wings are made, if possible, from different contrasting or well-matched fabrics. The scallop-crown should also be voluminous.

It is sewn to the head like a crown. The beak and beard can be made of felt, the role of the eye will be played by black beads. As a final touch, a straw bow is sewn onto the neck, and our gentleman cockerel is ready! Do not limit yourself to just one bird, make a whole poultry yard, seat all its inhabitants in a basket and place it under the Christmas tree or in the center of the festive table. It will be original, and most importantly - the Rooster will appreciate it!

Idea number 5. Button glamor

Looking at the rooster - a symbol of 2017, made of buttons, you are surprised at how beautiful and unusual crafts made from ordinary things that can be found in every home. Surely you will find a whole handful, if not more, of the buttons inherited from your mother. They lie to themselves, lie, idle more and more giving way to zippers, Velcro and buttons on clothes. It's time to correct this unfortunate injustice - we collect all this wealth and boldly begin to create!

All you need to create such an original cockerel is multi-colored buttons of different sizes and shapes. The main thing is to choose a harmonious color scheme so that the “plumage” of the owner of 2017 looks royal. Small rhinestones in the color of the buttons will also be indispensable, which will play the modeling role of filling the gaps formed between the buttons.

This master class is quite simple and requires only a competent selection of constituent elements and patience. You can spread the cockerel on fabric or paper, colored or plain. It would be nice to apply the outline of a bird to the base before starting work so that the cockerel does not move to the side during the creation process. Then we begin to lay out the buttons, having previously applied glue to them and gradually filling this contour. The finished picture is worthy of a frame and an honorable, most prominent place in the house.

Now you know how to appease a proud and arrogant cockerel - just make a symbol of the upcoming 2017, and you will be provided with his patronage. In addition, you can enjoy the creative process, improve your skills and really please your family and friends.
