First, let's draw the templates. The leaves have an unusual shape, similar to a Christmas tree. And the head resembles a pear. Separately, we make a sketch of the eyes, nose and mouth.

Then we fold the white dense fabric in two layers and outline the head. We sew along the contour on the machine, leaving a segment where the neck will be attached. Carefully cut out with small allowances.

Next, turn it inside out through the free segment and take the filler.

We stuff it well, but don’t sew up the hole yet.

Now you need to make a stem for the dandelion. We take the wire, in its length we take into account the lower part for fastening, the height to the head, which is 1.5 times higher than the selected can. And there will be a small ring at the top that will go into the head. Cut the required length from the green ribbon.

Then we just twist it around the wire and glue it together, we get a stem.

Then we attach this blank to the head, sew it on and glue it.

Now we move on to working using the primed textile technique. We paint one side of the head with white acrylic. And when it dries, draw the contours of the muzzle with a pencil.

Then we draw these contours with a pen, adding small details.

Now we take the shadows and, using a foam brush, gently apply the brown tone of the shadows around the eyes, under the nose and mouth. Lightly outline the cheeks. Then you should spray the face with hairspray to fix the shadows on the fabric.

And then we take acrylic paints. Let's draw the eyes. Black pupil, blue part and white stripe. And from the pupil you should add some blue paint on top.

We move on to the yellow nose and increase the brightness of the cheeks.

To complete the work on the muzzle, you should again go along all the contours with a pen and add eyebrows, eyelashes, freckles, and highlights on the eyes. The head is ready.

Let's move on to making leaves. We will use the fabric burning technique. We take the wire and a soldering iron with a thin tip.

The length of the leaves is slightly above and below the main stem. You can make 5 - 6 of them. And accordingly, we cut pieces from the green ribbon, two pieces per leaf. Next, you should take the wire a little longer by 5 - 7 cm. And then glue it into each sheet in the middle and between the two tapes. Then we place the blanks on the glass and use a soldering iron to draw the shape of the sheet. Or we repeat along the contour of the template.

Now let's move on to the colors. Prepare two 20 cm pieces of yellow tape. We cut fringes from them using a soldering iron and an iron ruler.

And let's start assembling the dandelions. For one flower, take chopped tape, wire, 5 cm smaller than the main stem and add it for fastening. You also need a piece of whole ribbon and a ball of foil.

We glue foil onto the stem.

And use a piece of whole tape to cover the foil tightly.

Next you need to attach the fringe and the flower is ready.

And we have two dandelions.

Now we need sepals. And you need to cut it out of the green ribbon like grass. On a 10 cm strip, use a soldering iron to draw a line in the middle, similar to sharp teeth. It looks like we are dividing the tape in half, but with an uneven line. You should get two herbs.

All that remains is to glue them to the bottom of the flowers.

But we still have a bald main head. To do this, cut 10 yellow strips of 18 cm each. And make a beautiful fringe out of them.

Then we glue each strip into a separate tassel.

All that remains is to fluff them up with your hands.

Now we glue this hair to the head while standing. We place the first three on the forehead.

Then in a circle we go down to the neck, distribute 4 more bundles.

And we glue the remaining 3 brushes in the middle of the resulting circle.

Now let's move on to the jar with a lid. Use a soldering iron to make several holes in the lid.

They are needed for tightly fastening the parts of the composition. First we attach the dandelion with a face.

And we place the rest in the center of the lid.

Next we will make a flower pot with a secret from a jar. Lubricate the center of the lid with PVA glue and sprinkle with tea leaves - this will be peat.

While this is drying, let's start decorating the rest of the jar. Turn it upside down and gradually glue pieces of toilet paper connected with PVA glue. We create volumetric irregularities.

Now let's move on to the lid again. Here we add a volume of the same paper on top along the edge.

And when the glue has dried well, we decorate the resulting flower pot with golden paint. And in addition, we attach a yellow ribbon with a bow to the side edge of the lid.

All that remains is to straighten all the parts on the wire in the direction that is best for you.

Our surprise box is ready.
