DIY and bulk toys from wool are sustainable, easy to manufacture, with a variety of shapes and textures. Wool is cheap, easily melts and slips, painted in any bright color. But to start with a cotton toys better with something simple like carrots or snowman for the Christmas tree. For making simple toys you need a simple undyed wool from pharmacy, easy to roll into balls with walnuts. More convenient to use cosmetic cotton balls, colored.

To make a snowman you need to roll or choose with a big cotton ball and the ball is smaller. The parts glued together with PVA glue, which when dry becomes invisible on the product. While drying the glue, you can find or cook other items for a toy: the nose is a carrot, arms and legs of matches, a bucket on his head from bottle caps, beads for the eyes. Complement the image of the snowman's scarf — knitted strip of any bright fabric. The bottom of the snowman should be liberally impregnated with glue and attach to a piece of cardboard or heavy material for stability.

To dazzle carrot, you need to distribute on the palms a small amount of glue and roll of cotton wool, a small sausage with a wider base. Mixing with glue, cotton wool becomes denser and more plastic. If it's a toy for the Christmas tree, at the beginning of rolling the glue a loop of thick green threads in the middle of the product and continue to roll the cone. Prepared carrots cover with several layers of PVA glue mixed with orange gouache. Upon drying, the paint will not get dirty. The upper part of a carrot painted in dark green color.On the same principle you can make rolls, buns, bagels, and other baked goods for children, saving on buying expensive plastic toys. And believe me, these toys homemade child will play with great interest.
Note
Do not paint wet toys - this can deteriorate their shape.
