OWL PHOTOGRAPHER - A TOY ON THE CAMERA LENS

Send

You always want to capture the bright moments of childhood as a keepsake, only the kid himself is rarely distracted from his studies in order to look into the camera lens. And a temptation toy that can be easily made independently can serve as a creative way out.
We need: a sewing machine, felt of attractive colors, matching threads and a needle, agrotex, eyes, glue moment, scissors. To make the toy fold compactly, a piece of hat gum and a button come in handy.
1. A little bit about the sketch
The lens cap is the only part for taking measurements around which a sketch is built. But you should pay attention to the top of the toy, which should not cover the flash, so the head of the lure will be no more than 3 cm high.

2. Fabric selection
The easiest way to sew a toy on the lens is felt, because this material allows you to not process the edges, it is dense enough to hold its shape and is very diverse in color. Additional sealing of the toy is done using agrotex.

3. Sewing technology
a) Brushes are made on the ears: the thread is wound on three fingers in 20 layers and tied in the middle. From the outside, the ends are cut.
b) A similar part from agrotex is superimposed on the back part of the base (pink). Tassels are sewn onto the ears at the base with a straight line with a reverse. The upper thread is in tone of facial tissue (brown), the lower one is in tone of the back of the toy (pink).

c) The details of the legs and wings are decorated.
d) Pads are placed on the compacted part of the base with brushes, which are closed by the brown part. The resulting sandwich is sewn along the outer and inner contours with a zigzag. In order for the toy to develop further, cross-shaped fold lines are outlined, which are sewn on a typewriter with a straight line. To fix the toy when folded, a hat gum loop is sewn. All threads are tied in a bundle and the ends are hidden in a toy.

e) The face of the owl is made: eyebrows and beak are sewn by hand. Felt eyebrows can be incised and fluffed.

f) Then wings are attached in a zigzag, but the upper thread changes to green. When all machine seams are stitched, eyes are glued.
g) The toy is folded in the most acceptable way along the fold lines and the place for the button is determined. In our case, from the back of the toy.
