Instructions for Happy Minis from Chenille Wire

Anleitung No. 1315
Anleitung No. 1315   
Treat yourself to a huge chenille wire crafting fun with children. We have put together some mini models for you to recreate. The instructions for two of the miniature figures are certainly a great inspiration for your own minis.
And that's how it goes

For all mini-figures Chenille wire, Ø 6 mm thick is used. For this you need ready painted wooden heads, some wool for the hair and Handicraft glue

Girl with a dog
For the girl a skin-coloured Chenille wire is folded in the middle. Twist both halves of the wire about 6 cm together (body), another 6 cm of the chenille wire make 1 leg with foot each. The twisted body is glued into a Wooden ball with face. For the arms, fold 8 cm of skin-coloured Chenille wire in the middle and bend it to the body. Pullover and trousers are now wrapped around body and legs, possibly fixed with glue. Finally cut each sandal to 8 cm black Chenille wire and make each sandal as follows Make a loop the size of the foot. Bend one end of the loop as a sole under the skin-coloured "foot", the other as a strap around the ankle.
For the dog, a white Chenille wire was first bent. Form a little black chenille into the fold for the show. The right white Chenille wire is placed as a loop behind the muzzle, the left white wire end as well. Now form some black Chenille wire as eyes around each white wire end. Bend the white wire further to form ear loops and then twist both wire ends together until the end of the wires. The end results in an approx. 2 cm long tail. A second white pipe wiper is now bent in the middle. Twist two loops of 4 cm white wire from the middle to the back legs and twist them to the body. Wrap both chenille wire ends around the body and form the front legs from the ends.
Mermaid:
Sweet mermaid requires three skin-colored pipe cleaners. Cut 10 cm of one of the chenille wires and prepare it for the arms. Twist all 3 wires together and wrap around one.
For bikini top and tail fin, separate 12 cm each from a green Chenille wire . Connect the remaining piece with two more green pipe cleaners. Glue one green wire end to the upper body, wrap the remaining Chenille wire tapering to a point around the skin-coloured Chenille wire . Bend two fins from the tail fin wire and glue them to the tip, form two small loops for the bikini top and bend them to the body, fix them with glue. For the head, glue a Wooden ball with face on the torso and finally glue the mermaid's hair with scraps of wool.

What is chenille wire used for?
Whistle cleaners bend very well and are still sturdy. The possibilities for use are endless. For example, the legs of small homemade decorative figures are often made of chenille wire. When crafting with children, the wire is often simply wrapped around pencils and glued on. As a plush thread, the wire is glued onto school cones, for example.
