Print Thanks, great lesson +1

Kopatych is a famous character in the cartoon “Smeshariki”. By its appearance, despite the rounded shape of its body, we can immediately tell that this is a bear. This is indicated by a straw hat, small round ears and a love of honey. Therefore, such a cute character deserves to be made from paper and turned into a favorite toy.


  • Colored paper in white, yellow, orange and brown tones
  • Stationery glue
  • Stapler
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Marker

Step-by-step photo lesson:

Kopatych's body will be orange. To make it, take thick paper of a given tone and draw a rectangle.


Cut out a rectangle along the drawn lines.


We roll a piece of orange paper along the long side into a tube and fasten both sides together using a stapler.


Let's draw the upper legs on orange paper. Cut it out. Using a black marker, draw the silhouette and claws.


Glue the finished paws on the sides of Kopatych’s body.


Then we will complement the character’s image with a straw hat, which will be yellow. The silhouette can also be drawn with a black marker. However, before gluing the finished straw hat in the middle of the tube, we will make ears and attach them to the body first. We cut out the ears in the form of circles from orange paper.


Then we create Kopatych’s eyes from white paper. Draw the pupils with a marker. We make the nose and eyebrows from brown half-cardboard. Glue these parts to create a muzzle in the middle of the tube. Draw the remaining details with a black marker.


So Kopatych is ready from paper in such a short time.


On sale today you can see many new products for children's creativity; all kinds of kits are offered for creating interesting crafts. But such pleasure is not cheap. Sometimes parents look for more sustainable ways to have fun. You can spend leisure time with your children almost free of charge if you show a little imagination. Any waste material that can be recycled is suitable for creating crafts. One such example is the old ones. They are sure to be found in every home where there is a computer. Today, these storage media are becoming obsolete, but there is no point in throwing them away.

While going through old things in a table or cabinet, mom and dad throw out everything unnecessary. But they turn damaged CDs in their hands and put them back, hoping that these products will someday be useful again. If a child has an interest in creating all kinds of crafts with his own hands, then it is time to use the mirror surface of these outdated storage media for creativity.

Craft Smesharik Nyusha from CD and colored paper:

By adding colored paper to the disc, you can create any character from the cartoon “Smeshariki”. Beauty Nyusha is a lively little animal who loves romance novels and outdoor games. The color pink and daisies will help to reproduce this heroine.

1. Red, pink or purple paper is suitable for work. If whole leaves are not available, then it is quite possible to use pieces, since all the parts will be small, and the base will be a disk.

2. Cut out all the elements for Nyusha’s face: eyes, nose and mouth.

3. Glue the black dots onto the white circles, then attach the pink half moons. These will be Nyusha’s eyes, to the corners of which fluffy pink eyelashes should be added. Glue the nose-piglet to the central point of the disk, and place the thin mouth obliquely.

4. Cut out two small red ears and glue on the head. Decorate the top of your head with a wreath of daisies, because Nyusha loves flowers.

5. All that remains is to make the upper and lower hooves and attach them with glue in any order. Nyusha's craft from a CD is ready.

DIY Smesharik Barash craft from CD and paper:

To create Barash you will need a lot of round parts and a little patience. Using sharp scissors, you need to cut out the required number of small spirals. They can fill the entire surface of the disk or just process the edge. It all depends on the availability of free time and the perseverance of the child.

1. Prepare the disk for use.

2. Draw lots of circles on the back of the purple paper. To create even parts, use a compass or some kind of lid. Cut out circles and try them on to see if they are enough to fill the entire perimeter. Create a spiral from each circle by cutting it out with scissors.

3. Having prepared all the spirals, stick them on the mirror side of the disk. This is not difficult to do, just coat the edge of the disk with glue, and then apply a spiral and press it with your finger.

4. While the glue is drying, cut out the remaining parts to create the Barash. These will be the horns. The most rational way is to draw one curved horn on a sheet of blue paper, then bend it in half and cut out two elements at once, which will be a mirror image of each other. You will also need white and black circles for the eyes, a wide nose and a small red mouth.

5. Glue all the resulting blanks onto the disk to get Barash’s face.

6. All that remains is to attach the arms and legs. Cut them out of purple paper and the hooves from blue paper. Smesharik Barash from the CD is ready.

Craft Smesharik Losyash. DIY from a CD:

Smeshariki from a disk is one of the ways to use these mirror products for crafts. Funny cartoon characters have their own distinctive features, so they can be easily copied, you just need some colored paper. Elk has large horns, hooves and a wide nose. This must be taken into account when creating crafts from disk and paper.

1. It is advisable to use yellow and brown paper for the product to make the Losyash more realistic. You cannot do this work without glue, scissors and a simple pencil.

2. Cut out two round pieces to make eyes, glue on orange eyelids and attach black dots for pupils. From brown paper, cut out a wide nose, shaped like a drop.

3. Glue the resulting elements onto the disk, covering its central part.

4. Cut out antlers from brown paper. The moose must have branched antlers. Draw a beautiful sketch on the back of the paper, then bend the sheet and cut out two parts of the same shape at once. Cut out small ears from orange paper.

5. Glue the horns and ears to the disk.

6. A small mouth glued at an angle and eyebrows will help add a little character to the image.

7. Cut out the upper and lower limbs from orange or brown paper and give them the shape of hooves.

8. Glue the Moose to the body.

DIY Smeshariki crafts will decorate a child’s room and give good emotions to the child.

In a similar way, you can make all the Smeshariki from a CD and colored paper. Such a unique collection of Smeshariki will become the pride of a child.

Today we will tell you how you can make Smeshariki from paper in several versions. The first method will be devoted to making a hero out of paper with the possibility of involving even the smallest children in the process, and the other will be for older children, because it will be a little more difficult.

Collecting all Smeshariki from paper: method 1

To make Smesharik in the easiest way you need the following materials:
  1. Thick pages from newspapers or magazines
  2. Colored paper and colored cardboard
  3. Scissors
  4. Felt pens or gouache

Step-by-step instruction:

  1. We crumple thick sheets of paper (pages from newspapers or magazines) into a ball (as tightly as possible so that the craft does not break).
  2. We carefully wrap the resulting ball with a regular square sheet of colored paper (the color must match the color of the character that your child wants to make). Or you can simply decorate this ball with gouache.
  3. Next, from thick sheets of paper, but of a smaller size, we make four more small lumps in a similar way - these will be the paws of our Smesharik.
  4. We carefully glue the resulting four small lumps (legs) to the main large ball - the body.
  5. From colored cardboard we cut out the remaining necessary details (ears, horns, beak, etc.) and glue them to the figure.
  6. Eyes, mouth and nose can be cut out of cardboard and glued to create a beautiful hero’s face. Alternatively, these parts of the face can simply be drawn directly on Smesharik’s body using paints or felt-tip pens. It all depends on your desire and the desire of the child.

Now the figurine is ready! Everything is very simple. You will get a round Smesharik.

Method 2.

For variety, you can also make square Smeshariki for younger children. To do this, you need to print the diagrams and cut out the parts. Then the figurine is assembled according to the instructions.

Method 3.

Now we’ll tell you some of the most difficult ways to make Smeshariki from paper. And here older guys will be your assistants. So let's get started.

Now we will teach you how to make Smeshariki using the modular origami technique. When using modular origami, several sheets of paper are required to fold the figure. Each sheet is folded into a module, and then all the modules are connected to each other. Such products will require much more patience and time from you.

If you decide to make Smeshariki this way, you will need the following:
  1. Several sheets of thick colored paper
  2. Scissors
Step-by-step instruction:
  1. First of all, we make the modules:
  • To do this, divide a sheet of thick colored A4 paper into 16 equal parts and cut them out;
  • fold each of the resulting rectangles in half;
  • bend the edges towards the middle and turn the product over;
  • lift the edges sticking out from under the triangle upward and bend the corners inward;
  • bend the triangle in half.
  • Using the above method we add all the remaining modules.
  1. We insert the resulting modules into each other. At the same time, we get a three-dimensional figure of Smesharik. We make a circle of 24 modules and increase the rows (approximately 12 rows need to be made).
  2. After this labor-intensive work is completed, we add ears, paws, spines, horns, hats and other details that your hero needs. The eyes can be cut out of cardboard and glued to the figure.

All is ready!

Method 4.

I would like to tell you about another, difficult, but interesting way of making Smeshariki from papier-mâché. This is a very labor-intensive process. And it needs to be done by adults. A very difficult, not cheap, but quite interesting method! And it's worth it!

For this method we will need:
  1. Balloon
  2. Newspapers
  3. PVA glue
  4. Scotch
  5. Egg Tray
  6. Facade putty
  7. Tile adhesive
  8. Wire
  9. Hot water
  10. Cold water
  11. Drill
  12. Mixer whisk
  13. Paints
  14. Tassels
Step-by-step instruction:
  1. We inflate the balloon of the size we need.
  2. We tear the newspaper into small pieces, soak them in water and cover the ball with one layer. Then we take PVA glue and water in a 1:1 ratio and also soak pieces of newspapers in the solution. We glue the second layer in PVA, while leveling it with a brush and expelling the air. We do this for about five or six layers. Dry until completely dry.
  3. When our design is dry, we burst the ball and fill the inside of the newspaper ball we received with paper. Or you can fill it up, your imagination and possibilities. For example, dried egg racks into small pieces.
  4. We twist the arms and legs, as well as the snout, from the newspaper and glue it all to the ball with tape.
  5. Now we are preparing the mass with which we will strengthen our ball:

Take an egg tray and tear it into small pieces, pour hot water over it to boil quickly. Place it on the gas stove and wait for it to boil. Boil for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

We take a device for whipping: a drill and a whisk from a mixer. Let's start whisking. First from the very bottom, lifting all the pieces, and then simply in a circular motion until you get a porridge-like mass. And put it on the fire again for about 10 minutes. Remove and beat again. When the mass becomes homogeneous, then leave it to cool.

  1. Take cold water and dilute the putty according to the instructions on the bag. If you use a five-liter bucket, then you need to pour about 1/4 of the bucket with cold water. We spread the putty. The solution should look like thick sour cream.
  2. Squeeze the mixture we cooked from the water. Add the squeezed mass to the putty and mix thoroughly. The result is a mass for sculpting our Smesharik. It is advisable to use this solution as soon as possible, because after a while it starts to dry out.
  3. First, apply a layer of approximately 1-2 mm to the ball. Give it time to dry. When this layer is completely dry, apply a second one - this one is more dense. We do this to increase the strength of our creation.
  4. We make a ponytail, hair from wire, and attach it all. We form the ears and cover it all with our mixture, sculpting and giving it the correct shape. Don't forget about the hooves on the arms and legs. Leave until completely dry.
  5. We dilute the tile adhesive to the consistency of thick sour cream. And we coat our Smesharik with it.
  6. After drying, the painting process begins. There are simply no limits to your imagination here...

The resulting Smesharik can decorate a children's room and even a playground in the yard.

This process is very labor-intensive, but we hope that its outcome will bring everyone a good mood and a lot of positivity.

We introduced you to ways of making wonderful cartoon characters Smeshariki with your own hands. Choose the one that suits you and go for it!

Good luck! And may everything work out for you!

At a more conscious age, it is impossible to tear a child away from the TV or computer screens if their favorite cartoons are on. The presence of bright, interesting, colorful, funny cartoons in our time forces parents to increasingly come up with various activities and entertainment for their children, just so that they do not sit for hours in front of the TV. One of the most popular children's cartoons is Smeshariki. Funny characters always make kids laugh out loud, so why not combine business with pleasure and make paper Smeshariki yourself? This is a great activity for kids and parents to do together.

In this master class we will tell you how to make such funny crafts with your own hands, and provide diagrams for forming little ones.

We will create our cartoon characters from colored paper or cardboard. You will also need scissors and a simple pencil.

We make Malysharikov with laughter

First, let's get acquainted with the heroes of our cartoon:

  1. Krosh;
  2. Nyushenka;
  3. Hedgehog;
  4. Lamb;
  5. Losyash;
  6. Auntie Sovunya;
  7. Kar Karych;
  8. Kopatych.

We decide on our favorite characters and get to work.

The ideal option would be printed blank images of our heroes. Well, if you can’t print them, you can simply transfer them onto paper to make templates. And with the help of them we cut them out of cardboard. The auxiliary parts, highlighted in black, also need to be cut out.

The cut piece must be glued. We form a square; there are special letters on the auxiliary parts that will help you fold the parts in the right direction.

Do not apply too much glue, the cardboard material may get wet and then it will tear.

We add the final touches to our character, glue on legs, arms, horns. Draw the face of his favorite character with your baby together. So our Barash is ready.

To make it easier for you to come up with a fun game with your baby, let's look at the rest of the cartoon characters.

Meet Krosh. We make it in the same way as the previous one. The kid will be happy to make a fun-loving adventurer.

As you can see, making such cute characters is not difficult at all. Such an exciting job will bring a lot of laughter and pleasure to you and your children. And this despite the fact that the costs are minimal.

Spend a little time with your baby and grateful smiles and laughter will follow.
