Instructions
Step 1
New Year's monkey: master class
To make a monkey with your own hands, prepare plasticine in advance: warm it in your hands and knead it. It is recommended to use a classic, not very soft material - the New Year's craft will keep its shape better. In addition, if a child is working with you, plasticine will serve the development of fine motor skills.
Step 2
The monkey craft will be created with a combination of brown and orange materials. Prepare two balls of different sizes (one larger and one smaller) and form them into thick cakes.
Step 3
Blind the head, connect the brown round-shaped piece with the orange one, elongated in the form of a crescent. Attach a black nose to the New Year's monkey and cut out the outlines of the mouth with a stack.
Step 4
Add gray eyes to the blank, stick rounded ears. Continue combining brown and orange plasticine.
Step 5
You can make a monkey for the New Year with a spherical body - the animal will turn out to be funny and will cheer you up. To do this, roll up a brown ball and form an orange cake.
Step 6
Stick the flat piece of the New Year's monkey onto the volumetric one, and then pierce a hole in the belly of the figure with a match (navel).
Step 7
Insert the match into the ball-shaped body and place the monkey head on the resulting neck.
Step 8
To sculpt the lower and upper limbs of the monkey, prepare a fairly thinly rolled brown sausage, then cut it into four segments. Make orange palms and feet to combine with the tubular limbs.
Step 9
Stick the arms and legs to the craft, then roll up and attach a brown sausage - a long tail on the back of the body. Let your New Year monkey be a monkey, bully and fidget.
Step 10
Now you know how to make a monkey for the New Year from plasticine with your own hands. The figurine can be placed on a festive table, under a decorated Christmas tree, on a branch. The craft will be an excellent souvenir in the Year of the Monkey.
