Deer toy

You can sew a beautiful toy from old clothes, which will be a good gift for a child or a decoration for a holiday. From an old brown fur coat I made a toy reindeer, for the manufacture of which I needed: reliable glue, filler (cotton wool), threads, a needle, as well as a plastic soda bottle, blue and red rhinestones, foil, scissors, needles for pinning, pencil and paper for drawing up a sample.
When starting work, I make a sample on paper. At first I wanted to make the toy long legs and a small head, but as I worked on sewing, I corrected the shortcomings of the sample by increasing the size of the head. Initially, the paper sample looked like this:

After that, I took fabric from an old fur coat and cut out two parts of the body and head from it according to the sample, and then made a part of the tail and the middle part. The middle part will need to run from the toy's neck to its hind legs (almost through the entire body).
When cutting out each piece, I leave an allowance of 0.5 centimeters at the edges of each of them. In the photo below, between the body parts there is a tail part and that same middle part:

I sew the parts of the body along the edges in the front, but do not sew the back so that a little later it would be more convenient to turn the craft inside out. At the front I sew on the middle part of the torso, and for the leg parts I cut out the second pair of samples:

Next, I sew the cut out leg samples to the craft. After this it will look like this:

To make up the "hooves" crafts I decided to make four round pieces and sew them on. To make up the details of the horn, I didn’t have enough fur fabric, so I had to use simple fabric:

To make it easier to sew on the horns, I left the back of the toy’s head unsewn.
I sew round parts to the “hooves” of my craft:

Next, I take foam rubber and cut out 4 parts from it in pairs in order to fill the horns of the future toy with it.
Foam rubber can be used as a filler if the usual filler is not convenient to insert into too narrow areas of the fabric:

After cutting out four pieces from foam rubber, I place fabric samples on both sides on top of them and sew them on. If the foam rubber is not a dense enough filler, the horns of the craft can be filled with cotton wool using tweezers:

Now the resulting horns need to be sewn on. I turn my craft inside out and sew the antlers to the back of her head, folding down the seam allowance sections, then sew the neck.
But it turned out to be impossible to completely turn the legs of the craft inside out because there is fur inside them, and they become wider at the bottom, and that’s why I decided to leave them short:

After that, I fill the toy with cotton wool and sew it together. While sewing, I prepare the tail part and the area to which this part will need to be sewn:

The tail part needs to be folded in four:

After this, you need to sew the tail part to the craft:

Now I cut out four pieces in pairs from thin brown fabric to make up the ears:

I stitch around the edges of each pair of parts:

Next I take the foil. For this craft, you can use unstained candy foil:

We need to cut out snow figures (circles) and stars from foil, then take rhinestones and a plastic bottle.
We need to cut three thin transparent strips from the bottle, to which we will glue blue rhinestones a little later:

Transparent stripes with rhinestones will decorate the neck of the toy. For them, you should calculate the length, mark the beginning and end for the areas where the rhinestones will be located, and then apply the rhinestones to the strips:

Next, you need to glue red rhinestones to the head of the craft as eyes and sew on the ears, and fasten the resulting strips at the ends using a stapler:

If we add three transparent strips with rhinestones to our almost finished toy, it will look like this:

Now there are two last steps left to do: glue the snow shapes with stars cut out of foil and make a nose. First, I decided to glue the foil shapes to the horns, back and hooves of the craft:

Next, I cut out the nose from light brown fabric:

Having made the nose part the size to fit the head, I glue it on:

This is what the fastened plastic strips, decorated with rhinestones, look like from the back:

After this, my “Deer” toy is ready:
