Step-by-step instruction for the production of lamb from cotton wheels

1. We put the jar to the cardboard, we draw it in pencil. Draw a line from the cardboard circle and glue the top of the jar.
2. Now we turn to the "wool" of our lamb from wadded disks, in which quality neat little flowers will perform. To make them, we first fasten the disks to 3 pieces with a stapler - in the center in the form of a cross. Then we collect the edges of the discs, forming flowers.

3. We turn the jar upside down and start from the bottom, pasting it up to half with ready-made flowers.

4. Now let's make our hand for the sheep, for which we need a pair of white cocktail tubes. We cut them so that the place of the corrugated fold was exactly in the middle (this would be the elbow of the handle). Slightly bend each tube (around the "elbow") and put one end over the black bell. With the help of glue we attach the handles to the jar - on the sides, closer to the top.
5. To make a sheep's head, crumble the newspaper into a ball and densely wrap it with paint tape. On one of the sides we paste a cotton wool disc that will serve as a face. We glue the head to the top of the jar. From two disks we form ears, having combined them by a triangle and having fastened by means of a stapler. Ready-made blanks of ears are glued to the head of a sheep. Now go back to face, and glue on it eyes. From the black paper, we cut out the triangle and paste it on the face with the top down on the place of the nose. From the red paper, we cut out a smile and also paste it under the nose.

6. We continue to glue flowers on the upper part of the lamb's body. We put a pink bell on the ribbon, and put the ribbon on her neck. Now glue flowers and the head of the future symbol of the year.
7. To make our lamb from cotton discs look especially romantic, you can give her flowers in her hands. To do this, we moisten 9 discs in red gouache, squeeze them lightly and dry them. Then we fasten the colored workpieces to 3 pieces with a stapler and make them flowers (in the same way as flowers for wool were made). Green Cocktail Tube cut to 8 cm, connect them with flowers and insert a bouquet in the hands of a lamb.

Such an original and very beautiful gift is sure to please not only you or someone you are going to give it to, but also the very mistress of the year 2015 Sheep.
