You can make very beautiful crafts from plastic bags for the garden, playground and home. The bags are a material accessible to everyone, and also quite cheap. And the products made from it are very beautiful. On our website you can find a section on crafts, where you will find interesting master classes.
And today we will learn how to make a tiger from plastic bags, the author of this idea is Tatyana Kharkova-Dumbrovskaya. Tatyana does not have a master class on making a tiger, but she told us how to make one and what we need for this.

To make a tiger you will need:
* Empty sugar bags.
* Straw or other filler.
* Plastic bags in yellow, blue and black.
* Stapler.

Method for making a tiger from bags:
Let's start making it, the tiger cub is very easy to make. We take empty sugar bags and fill them with filler, in this case straw. We fill 1 bag completely with straw, this will be our tiger’s body. See for yourself what size to make the head. To make the head, we also fill the bag with straw, about halfway. We sew and fasten it to the body in any way. Next we need to make 4 paws and a tail. We make the paws a little differently, fill the bag vertically, create the desired volume and size. We fix them in the right places. The tail is also made from a bag, we take the bag and twist it, there is no need to add straw to it. This is the kind of frame you should get.

Now we begin to cut the plastic bags. We take a package of the desired color and cut it into strips, the size of the strips is 5 cm wide. The length depends on the package. We cut the finished strips into strips of terry cloth and fasten them with a stapler to the bag in a circle. We alternate colors. We sheathe the entire workpiece in this way. Eyes, mouth and nose are also made from bags of the desired color, or you can come up with your own original solution. You can try making eyes, for example, from Kinder Surprise eggs. Color them beautifully and glue them in the right place. Imagine, create and don’t forget to share your work with us)))

But Tatyana made not only a tiger out of plastic bags, but also a stork. A frame for the stork is made from empty unnecessary bags, the body and head are formed and connected to each other. Then we cut the plastic bags into strips and make terry strips out of them. We attach them to the stork’s body. We also make the beak from bags, or you can make it from polyurethane foam. Legs made from ordinary sticks. Do, invent and create.

The lion is one of the most majestic animals; it is not for nothing that it is called the king of beasts. Despite the fact that in nature it is a predator, its brothers, made with their own hands, are very popular among both children and adults. A lion pattern will help needlewomen create a soft friend. The toy can become a gift or interior decoration. In order to sew a lion, you will need pieces of sand, black and white fabric, beads or small buttons for the eyes, brown threads for the mane and tassels on the tail, and material for filling the toy. For the mane and tail, you can take fur with long pile. It is recommended to tighten the paws using a strong thread that matches the color of the fabric.

The pattern of a lion toy does not limit your imagination at all. You can use fabrics that differ from the natural color of the animals. The size of the toy and the “fluffiness” of the mane are at your discretion. A large lion can become, for example, a pillow. The Pretty Toys Workshop has simple patterns and patterns with lots of detail. You can choose the complexity of the toy, depending on your existing skills and the amount of free time.

Or another predator?

If you already have a lion in your collection, you can sew another predator, for example, a tiger. Pretty Toys Workshop has a large selection of patterns. To make a tiger, you will need fur, fleece or orange and black striped drape. If you don’t have the fabric of the right color, sew a toy from any other material, because a toy tiger can be whatever you want: blue, green, polka dots or flowers. The main task is to convey his character.

The tiger pattern can be supplemented at your discretion. To make the toy more interesting and for children to have more fun

To play, make clothes out of felt (or other fabric), such as a colorful vest or overalls. The tiger toy pattern will help you if you decide to make a nice gift. A hand-sewn animal will delight everyone.

Soft toy - do it yourself

Tiger cub

2010 is the Year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar, so a hand-sewn tiger will become not just a cute toy, but also a real talisman for life! It’s not scary if you don’t have time to sew a tiger cub by December 31st, because the Chinese celebrate the New Year according to their calendar only on March 19th, so you still have time!

Now there are many types of artificial fur and fabrics on sale, but you need to correctly determine the amount of fabric to buy, because the tiger cub must be striped, and the stripes must be located in the transverse direction. Therefore, it is best to come to a fabric store with a pattern and figure out how the toy will be cut, taking into account seam allowances. It is advisable to choose a natural combination of colors, that is, the tiger cub should be red and black.

Tip: when cutting fur or fabric into stripes, you will encounter the problem of matching the stripes on the two parts being sewn. In this case, you need to fold the patterns of these parts with each other the way they should be folded when stitching. After this, you need to make a notch on each of the parts in the place where, in your opinion, the stripes should meet. When cutting, these serifs are combined with stripes.

So, take the following materials:
- red-black striped fur with short pile (you can take thick striped fabric);
- light red fur with short pile;
- a small piece of red fabric;
- one black bead or button of medium size;
- leather of white, green and black colors (artificial or natural) or two buttons for the eyes, suitable in color and size;
- cardboard,
- filler (cotton wool, finely crumbled foam rubber, buckwheat).


From striped fur, paying attention to the direction of the stripes (it is indicated on the pattern), you cut out:
- head - 2 parts,
- ears - 2 parts,
- tail - 2 parts,
- body - 2 parts,
- feet - 2 parts,
- hind legs - 4 parts,
- front paws - 4 parts.

From light red fur you cut out:
- muzzle overlay - 1 piece,
- ears - 2 parts,
- feet - 2 parts,
- lower lip - 1 piece.

Make a lower lip from red fabric - 1 piece.

Cut out of cardboard without allowances for the seams of the foot - 2 parts.

Cut out and make eyes from leather, thick cardboard or white and black fabric.

Operating procedure:

Sew together the details of the ears (one piece from striped fur and one from light red fur). Turn out the ears.

Sew darts on the details of the head. Pin the finished ears onto one of the head parts in the places marked on the pattern.


- Sew together the parts of the head, leaving an open hole at the bottom and making fastenings in the places where the ears are sewn in.
Turn the head out and fill it with filling.

Sew the body parts together, leaving an open hole along the top edge. Turn the body inside out and stuff it with filling.
Sew the head with a hidden seam.

Sew the front legs, leaving open holes in the places marked with strokes on the pattern. Turn out the paws and fill them with filler.
Sew the holes with a hidden seam. Attach the paws to the body in the places marked on the pattern.


- Sew together the parts of the feet (one piece of striped fur and one of light red fur), leaving open the holes marked with strokes on the pattern.
Turn the feet inside out, put the cardboard parts inside, lay one layer of filler on both sides, and sew up the hole with a hidden seam.

Grind the hind legs, leaving the hole open along the bottom edge. Turn out the paws and fill them with filler.
Sew the feet to the paws with hidden stitches.
Sew the hind legs to the body in the places marked with dots in the same way as the front legs.

Stitch the tail, turn it inside out, stuff it with filler, and sew it to the body with a hidden seam.

Sew down the details of the lower lip and turn them inside out.

Gather the muzzle along the edge with a thread using a seam “over the edge”, pull it off, and put the filler inside.
With the same thread, without cutting it, wrap the muzzle crosswise several times so that it divides into two identical convex cheeks.
Sew the muzzle to the front of the head with a blind stitch, while sewing the lower lip in the appropriate place.

Sew a bead or button in place of the nose.

Sew or glue on the eyes.

Sewing and cutting from socks is a simple and interesting activity. Involve your children in work.

DIY sewing Tiger toys - master class

You will need:

  • pair of striped socks
  • reinforced threads
  • floss threads
  • scraps of light knitwear
  • 2 beads
  • satin ribbon
  • holofiber or synthetic fluff

Completing of the work:

  1. Place your toes with your heels facing up. Separate the front part of one sock and make a cut to the heel. For the other sock, also separate the front part and make a V-shaped dart, not reaching the heel by about 2 cm. Cut off the upper part. The resulting parts were for the torso (top) and head (bottom).

2. Cut out a few more details: from the front part of the sock - for the tail, and from light scraps - for the ears and feet. Set the head piece aside for now. Using a back stitch, not forgetting the holes, connect the edges of all other parts on the wrong side. Turn them right side out.

3. Turn the head piece inside out. Sew the edges of the dart using a backstitch. Place the ears on the dart side and pin them, as shown in the photo.

4. Secure the ears with a needle back stitch. Turn the workpiece right side out.
