Coffee toy: materials, fabric, patterns

And again, another master class on the theme of the coming year - the year of the Dog.

This time it coffee dogs- a simple yard guy Tobik and a charming taxi driver Knopochka.

So what we need:

A piece of white calico about 50x50cm;

Filler;

Instant coffee;

PVA glue;

Acrylic paints - white, black and brown;

Brushes, thread, needle.

Patterns:

1. We transfer the pattern to the fabric, sew, not forgetting to leave holes for eversion. We cut the seams in the corners. If the fabric is very loose, I advise you to coat the PVA allowances on the seams in the places of cuts.

2. Carefully turn out all the details, stuff them tightly with filler, sew up the holes with a blind seam. We fill the ears of the buttons loosely, by about 2/3.

3. Sew on the ears to the Button.

4. Dilute the coffee mixture for coloring toys - dilute 1 tablespoon without a slide of instant coffee in 3 tablespoons of boiling water. When the mixture has cooled slightly, add 1 tablespoon of PVA and a pinch of crystal vanillin. To remove excess paint, after dyeing, I blotted the toys a little with a paper towel.

5. Dry the blanks. I baked in the oven at 75 degrees for about 10 minutes. You can use a hair dryer to dry, you can let the toys dry in a natural way.

6. In the remaining coffee solution, add half a teaspoon of brown acrylic paint (I have Van Dyck) and draw spots. Here, as fantasy tells me :) On Tobika, I painted the spots in one layer, I covered the Button in two layers to get a rich chocolate color.

7. Dry again. After complete drying, draw eyes, nose, mouth. Let dry well and cover with acrylic varnish (only eyes and nose).

That's all :) All pleasant creativity!

Now handmade souvenirs are gaining more and more popularity. Among them, such amazing and cute creatures as attic animals are in demand. All of them have a brownish shade of fabric and a certain decor. All this together gives the impression of an old toy found somewhere in a chest. And also such souvenirs are flavored. Pattern coffee toys usually very simple, so the product does not require professional sewing skills. Even a novice needlewoman will cope with the task.

Why is the toy called a coffee toy

All characters made in this style have a brownish tint, which is obtained by lowering into a container or applying with a brush a solution prepared from ground or ground coffee toys. Everyone chooses a convenient method for themselves.

There is also a legend that explains the appearance of these toys. A woman who worked in a coffee factory sewed a toy for her daughter, which she often played with in the attic above the production facilities when her mother took it with her to shift. The girl forgot her toy. Having lain in the attic for many years, the fabric of the doll has grown old and saturated with the aroma of coffee, cinnamon and vanilla. This is exactly what modern needlewomen make this souvenir.

DIY coffee toys: patterns

If you are making such a souvenir for the first time, use a template - one of the ones presented in the article or found on your own. To do this, simply print the image, cut it out along the contour and circle it on the fabric, after pinning it with pins.

If you don’t like ready-made schemes or nothing you see suits you, make your own version of any character. Building a pattern is easy. In fact, you just need to draw a simplified outline of the animal. As a rule, its proportions can be any, even completely unrealistic. Cats often have long necks, or the animal, on the contrary, takes on the shape of a circle or rectangle. So show your imagination, and drawing skills are not required here. The main thing is that the shape should be easy to cut out of the fabric and simply sew. Characters usually consist of one, maximum 2-3 separately made ones, which already includes paws, as well as a tail, ears. The easiest way is to make a souvenir as a whole.

Coffee toys: master class

It should be noted right away that the manufacturing sequence may differ slightly. Choose the one that seems most convenient for you. Since you will need to dye the white fabric, you can schedule this process before or after sewing the toy. In these cases, the composition is applied with a wide brush on the front side. More precisely, the surface on which the color is applied (before stitching the parts) will be the front. You can also dye a whole flap of fabric before cutting out elements with already applied contours or before applying them, however, this option is less convenient, since it is difficult to obtain a uniform distribution of the shade over the material and a larger amount of solution is required.

If you are painting cut parts, they can be dried directly on the surface where the process took place. Usually this is a table with a newspaper or oilcloth spread over it. To speed up the process, a hair dryer is sometimes used. If you apply the solution to sewn toys, it is better to dry them in the oven. To do this, you will need hanging loops, for which you can fix the toy on the grill. And also it will be necessary to carefully control the drying process so that the products do not burn.

So, let's look at the process of creating a coffee souvenir step by step. The sequence of work will be as follows:

Souvenirs to lift your spirits

Patterns of positive coffee toys are no different from ordinary ones. Tenderness, laughter, positive emotions are caused by painted muzzles (smiling, with a protruding tongue, surprised eyes) and inscriptions. You can come up with the text yourself, peep on other characters, photographs, or even hear from friends who constantly like to joke. Memorize or write down the phrases you like, and then use them in your creative process.

So, you have seen what a pattern of coffee toys is. You can draw such a template yourself or print any blank you like. It is not difficult to sew this cute thing, and the souvenir turns out to be very cute and cute.

What are coffee toys? These are toys that are made using freshly ground or instant coffee. Probably, they were invented by lovers of this aromatic drink. For many, this drink is an assistant in the morning awakening. In many countries there is even a coffee drinking ritual that can last for hours. In our article you will find patterns of coffee toys with your own hands.

For people whose souls are warmed by the smell of such a drink, we decided to create coffee toys so that you can take crafts with you and feel the pleasant aroma of coffee at any time. You can also use such toys as an addition to interior details.

Let's start creating

Cute bear cubs

We will need cotton fabric, instant coffee, PVA glue, a hard brush, a synthetic winterizer for filling toys, scissors, threads, needles, paper, cardboard, acrylic paints, ribbons, bows, lace (for decoration).

Print the pattern, make a stencil out of cardboard and cut it out.

Attach the stencil to the fabric folded in half. Sew with a sewing machine or by hand, leaving a hole for stuffing, cut out.

If the fabric of your choice crumbles a lot, you can use PVA glue and coat the seam. Turn out the resulting part.

Now we tightly stuff the bear with synthetic winterizer, you can also use other fillers (cotton wool, holofiber). We sew the hole with a hidden seam.

You can attach a rope to the toy, then you need to do this before you sew up the hole.

Now you can sew. Create volume for the upper paws. To do this, draw lines on both sides of the bear's body.

We sew the toy through with small stitches.

We prepare coffee for toning toys: 2 teaspoons and 50 ml of boiling water, stir, add 2 teaspoons of glue. Mix thoroughly.

We dip the brush, wring it out a little and paint the bear.

Tinting of the product should take a minimum of time, because. the filler quickly absorbs the coffee drink, but we do not need this.

Now dry thoroughly in the sun or in the oven at a temperature of 100-150 degrees.

We proceed to the decor of our product. Let's draw the bear's eyes, noses, claws and navel with a thin brush or contour. The neck of the toy can be decorated with lace or some kind of ornament can be drawn. You can also tie a beautiful bow.

You can also use our hedgehog, owl, fish and dog patterns.

Easy option

Creating cats is one of the easiest and most interesting activities. These animals are loved by both adults and children, so introduce your little helpers to this unique undertaking. Patterns of cats can be any, so choose the ones that you like, or maybe you want to draw your own future toy. The choice is yours.

We begin the master class by transferring the pattern to a fabric folded in half. Toys can be made from linen or calico. We sew the details, leaving a hole for stuffing, and steam it with an iron. Cut out the product.

Now you need to fill the cat with filler tightly enough, but not too much. Sew up the left hole.

Now let's prepare the coffee toner. Pour 2 teaspoons of coffee and the same amount of cinnamon, a bag of vanilla into a metal cup or saucepan. We fill hot water and put on fire. When the mixture begins to bubble, remove it and strain thoroughly.

We paint the toy with a wide dense brush.

We dry the toy in the sun or in the oven for half an hour, you can also just hang the cat in the room, then the drying will last all night.

Let's take care of the design of the muzzle of our beast. You can draw with ordinary markers or fabric paints.

What exactly your cat will be is up to you. Imagine and create masterpieces.

Painstaking work

Creating such a dog is the most painstaking work. First, we will do everything that was done with the previous toys, preparing for coloring. The ears of such a dog can not be stuffed with filler, and we inserted a wire into the tail so that its shape would hold.

It is necessary to color such a dog in layers, i.e. on darker areas, apply more layers of coffee solution. Thus, the natural color of the animal is obtained. Eyes, nose and mouth can be drawn with markers or gel pens.

Now you know how to make various coffee critters. The whole family can be involved in this activity. Using your imagination, you can come up with your own patterns of toys: a hare, a horse, a giraffe, an owl and others. Also, such toys are often decorated with cool inscriptions that will delight not only you and your loved ones, but also friends who come to visit you. You can also add a few other spices to your coffee drink at your discretion: cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger.
