New Year 2017 is the year of the Red (Fire) Rooster, and the most popular gift will be its figurine or image. The Krestik needlewomen have good tradition: To New Year's holiday prepare thoroughly. And this year will be no exception. Many of us will make or are already making a rooster with our own hands, or even not one, but several at once! After all, you must definitely please your family and friends with a handmade symbol of the year, and yourself with the fascinating process of creating this very symbol in various techniques handmade.
Creating a kind of GUIDE TO MASTER CLASSES from the Internet is also a tradition of our handicraft site, which was born a year ago. For you, dear craftswomen, we have selected only the best master classes online. Admire, look closely, discuss and choose the most colorful rooster! And then sew/knit/draw/blind/weave it. So, what technology can you use on the eve of the New Year holiday?
If you don’t have time to work, it doesn’t matter. The article contains links to craftswomen who sell finished works.
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!
Photo from the site http://itsapatchworklife.blogspot.ru
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 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.

The Fire Rooster favors hardworking people who improve their professionalism.

- to tie;

Even novice craftswomen can embroider a fiery Rooster if they carefully follow the recommendations experienced craftsmen
First, you should decide where the Fire Rooster, the symbol of the year, will be placed. The amulet can be embroidered on:
- scarves;
- napkins of different shapes;
- towels and towels;
- window curtains;
- clothes - shirts, vests, belts.
If regular embroidery is planned, then the traditional colors red and black are chosen.
In our case, the embroidered Fire Rooster will look more colorful. Therefore, it is necessary to add orange, green, yellow.
For creativity prepare:
- diagram of a design or ornament. This may be a ready-made image purchased from a specialized department. Many different patterns are posted in blogs and master classes of needlewomen, embroidery magazines. The main thing is to remember that one cell in the diagram is equal to one cross;
- hoop. It is advisable to use a round plastic hoop equipped with a screw. With its help it is easy to adjust the tension of the canvas;
- embroidery needle. A special feature of this instrument is its blunt nose;
- embroidery threads. Floss threads of various tones and shades are considered optimal;
- fabric (canvas). The special fabric is called canvas. If the symbol of 2017, the Red Rooster, is embroidered on clothing or finished items, then the canvas is attached to the fabric. Experienced craftswomen can work without canvas, using fabric weaves;
- scissors. Needed when working to cut threads.
Before starting work, you should carefully read the description or watch the training video.
Let's get started
First you need to overcast the edges of the canvas. This will prevent fraying and maintain the size of the prepared fabric for rooster embroidery. The easiest way is to sew the edge with regular thread. Do it with your hands or with sewing machine– choose the craftswoman. What works best is what needs to be done. An advantageous solution would be non-woven fabric, which can be easily glued along the edge of the canvas using an iron.
Be sure to determine the center of the outline. IN otherwise, our fire rooster may be positioned asymmetrically and this will ruin appearance gift. Determining the center is very simple - the fabric is folded in half both lengthwise and crosswise. The intersection point of the fold will be the center one.
Marking the center in a convenient way. The entire embroidery process begins from the center. If you need to move the initial cross, then count the required number of cells from the center.
The canvas is placed on an embroidery hoop. The larger circle is laid down, then the fabric, a circle of smaller diameter is put on top and tightened with a screw. The canvas should be evenly stretched without bending.
The thread is fixed in the center of the canvas so that it is invisible from the front side. Now the embroidery process begins. The square in the diagram corresponds to one cross on the outline. The squares in the diagrams have designations for thread tones or are painted in different colors. Empty squares without signs are not embroidered. Now you need to be careful not to miss a cross or embroider an extra one. In this case, the embroidered rooster will not match the pattern.
The crosses are stitched in one color. First, diagonal stitches in one direction, then return and sew diagonal stitches in the other direction.
The number of crosses must exactly match the number indicated on the diagram.
Attention! The crosses are made neat and even. The top stitches of all crosses must be made in the same direction. Therefore, it is more convenient to embroider in blocks rather than with individual crosses. What to pay attention to when cross stitching:
- degree of tightness of stitches. They should not sag or be too tight;
- lack of long broaches on the wrong side;
- absence of nodules;
- correct thread fastening. This is done in the last 2 stitches.
The embroidery of the rooster continues, changing the tones of the threads in accordance with the colors in the diagram. Such a gift will bring success and prosperity to your home, bring joy and lift your spirits.
