One more DIY on the theme of the upcoming New Year — the year of the Dog.

To sew such cute coffee dogs, you need:

- a piece of white coarse callico, about 50 x 50cm

- batting

- instant coffee

- PVA glue

- acrylic paint — white, black and brown

- brush, floss, needle

- the pattern:

1. Transfer the pattern to fabric, cut out, stitch, leave holes for turning.

2. Gently turn all the parts outside in, tightly stuff them with batting, the holes are sewn with a concealed stitch. The detached ears are stuffed loosely, about 2/3.

3. Sew the ears.

4. Dilute coffee for painting — 1 flat tablespoon of instant coffee + 3 tablespoons of boiling water. When the mixture cools slightly, add 1 tablespoon of PVA glue and a pinch of crystalline vanillin. To remove the excess paint, soak the toys with a paper towel.

5. Dry the workpieces in the oven at 75 С for 10 minutes. Or use a hair dryer or just let them dry out in a casual way.

6. Make a new solution: the remaining coffee + half a teaspoon of brown acrylic paint = and draw spots.

7. Dry again. Draw the eyes, nose, mouth.

That's all :)

Enjoy your creativity!
