In this section we will learn how to make the first felt toys with our own hands with patterns for beginners. Let's make some cute animals from bright felt fabrics. MA master class on creating toys from felt with your own hands will help with this.

• Baby fox

Any restless person will love this cute fox and will definitely become his favorite toy. And doing it will be very interesting for any adult, especially if a step-by-step master class will help with this.

Materials:

1. Sample;
2. Felt: orange, white, black;
3. Synthetic fluff;
4. Fabric and erasable markers;
5. Stuffing stick;
6. Ruler, scissors, needle, felt-colored threads, fabric glue;
7. Blush/art pastel for cheeks;
8. Satin ribbon for bow.

Templates for work:

Progress:

Stage 1

Cut out all the necessary elements according to the template. Repeating elements must be symmetrical. We glue all the small felt parts to the large ones with glue, or we baste them with a contrasting thread. It is important that all repeating elements are at the same distance from the edges of large parts. This is necessary so that the toy looks neat.

Stage 2

We begin to sew small details with a single white thread, performing vertical stitches.

Then you can begin to connect the front and back parts of the toy together, starting with the ears. Using a needle with a single red thread, we begin to make stitches (the first one is from the inside out), bringing the game back and inserting it into the same place as the first time, thus making a neat loop around the two elements of the future ear of the toy. The needle is inserted into the loop and then tightened.

Now we make the next stitch at an equal distance from the edge of the fabric, creating another loop. We insert the needle into it again, tighten the thread, thus obtaining overlock stitch. We sew the entire eyelet with this seam, and the last seam must be inserted into the first. To make it easier for novice craftsmen to understand, it is better to look at step-by-step photographs.

We perform the same manipulations with the second ear, after which we sweep the finished ears to the front of the head of the future felt fox.

Stage 3

Draw eyes and a mouth on the white muzzle. We begin to carefully embroider the eyes from the inside with double black thread, moving to the front. The first stitch is made in such a way that the needle returns to the very beginning, after which the stitch is tightened. All subsequent stitches are made in the same way, the main thing is that the forming loop is always on top - above the thread and needle. At the end you can make an eyelash. The second eye and mouth are embroidered using the same principle. Already at this stage you can draw the fox’s cheeks.

Stage 4

Time to sew together the large parts of the head. First, it is better to baste the front and back of the toy’s head with a contrasting thread. After this, you can begin covering with an overlock stitch. As before, we will need an orange single thread. When the seams reach the ear, it is necessary to insert the needle and thread onto the back side so that the distance to the edge on both the front and back sides is the same (the needle must pass through the ear inside).

We insert the needle directly into the eye - into the place directly above the point where the needle and thread came out. From the front, the needle will also eventually come out in the eye directly above its original location. Insert a needle into the resulting loop and tighten. You will get a seam like this, which should look like an overcast stitch. We cover the entire muzzle, leaving room for stuffing.

Stage 5

It's time to stuff the top of this cute felt toy. In this case, a sushi stick, a pencil or a special device will be useful. You need to stuff the head of the toy evenly, not too tightly, giving it a soft volume.

Stage 6

The next step is to create a ponytail. First, you need to sew a black tassel to the end of the ponytail with a single black thread, without sewing the sides of the end of the ponytail, but only sewing a “zigzag”. After this, the front and back parts of the ponytail are sewn to each other using the already familiar overlock stitch with orange thread.

The place of the black tip is stitched from the inside, since the black tip will need to be stitched on top with black thread, using the same method as when covering the rest of the felt toy. The opposite end of the tail remains open - it is needed for stuffing with synthetic fluff. After the tail is evenly padded, it is sewn to the body parts using contrasting thread.

Stage 7

Then the back and front parts of the body are sewn to each other using an overlock stitch, leaving the neck area open. We distribute the padding evenly over the body, after which the hole is sewn up with an overcast stitch.

Stage 8

Now that the two main parts of the felt toy are completely ready, they need to be sewn together. To sew them to each other neatly and beautifully, you can line up the depression on the chanterelle’s chest - the animal’s nose and mouth should be located right above it.

Now, using a needle with a double orange thread, we begin to sew the parts together. First you need to insert a needle into the lower part of the head, 3-4 mm from the edge, as in the photo, approximately at the level of the middle of the eye. The needle is then passed through the edge of the body - at the same distance - resulting in a hidden seam. It is necessary to stitch the head and body to the opposite end of the neck, tightening the seams tightly. This is how the front front part is stitched.

To securely fasten both parts, you need to stitch them again, but in a more careful way. Now that the needle is on the opposite edge of the neck, you need to stitch the back of the head. However, you first need to pierce the body from the front side, and only after that remove the needle from the back of the head. We continue stitching according to this pattern so that the threads are not visible at all (see photo). The little felt fox is ready!

• Cheerful owl

Very popular toys made from felt are cute fairy-tale owls - they are not difficult to make, and in the process you can even change some elements of the product to your own discretion and taste. The result will delight not only children, but also adults. Let's try to make a soft felt toy, which will be decorated with a floral motif from small pieces of fabric.

Materials:

1. Sample;
2. Felt: pink, brown, gray;
3. A piece of colored fabric for the belly and wings;
4. Filler, like padding polyester;
5. Scissors, pins, needle, threads.

Templates for work:

Progress:

Stage 1

Cut out the paper pattern elements from the printed template. We attach them with pins to the felt material and cut them into shape, after which we remove the pins.

Advice! Use a hand stitch “forward needle” to sew the parts together, making the same neat stitches and skips.

We sew the colored fabric onto the felt blanks for future wings forward with a needle. The knot can be hidden between the fabric and felt. To keep the fabric in one place during the creation of the toy, it is better to secure it with a pin.

Stage 2

In order for the owl to turn out as planned, you need to place the parts according to the template. We attach the gray oval eyes to the future body of the owl with pins, and then sew them on. The distance between the eyes and from the edges of the body should be 0.5 cm. After this, we finalize the eyes - we sew on two other parts.

We also sew two brown triangles onto the ears.

We attach a colored belly to the owl, and sew on the beak and paws on top. The back of the owl's body should be replenished with a tail, according to the template.

Advice! Children who want to help make a toy can glue pieces of multi-colored material, after which the needlewoman can sew them on with even, beautiful stitches.

Stage 3

The front and back parts of the body are applied to each other. Between them, according to the diagram, ready-made wings are inserted, all this is secured with pins. We begin to sew the toy from the bottom of the right wing, passing in a circle to the bottom of the left wing. The remaining space is used for stuffing.

We fill the toy with padding polyester, but not to capacity! It is important that the design and seams are not distorted at the end of the work. The hole is sewn up, the pins are removed from the wings. The felt toy is ready. To avoid difficulties in the process, you can see step-by-step photos.

• Peppa Pig on magnets

Many children are very fond of the character from the cartoon of the same name, so you can please the kids with a felt miniature pig. If you wish, you can insert magnets inside, or you can ignore this point and create a simple toy - it will not harm even the little ones.

Materials:

1. Sample;
2. Felt: red, light pink, dark pink, black, white;
3. Two beads;
4. Filling: padding polyester or holofiber;
5. Pencil or disappearing marker;
6. Neodymium magnets - optional.

Templates for work:

Progress:

Stage 1

You need to print out the template, cut out the pattern of all the parts of the future toy from felt. We transfer the outline of the paper models onto the material using a pencil or felt-tip pen, and cut out parts from felt.

Stage 2

We cut out pockets for magnets and sew them to the inside of the back of the pig’s body and head, insert 1 cm magnets there and sew up the holes.

Stage 3

We sew a nose, a bright pink cheek, eyes to the face, and then use thread to mark the toy’s mouth.

We put both parts of the body together, put the legs, tail, arms in the middle, sew them together, leaving a hole in the neck area. We send a small amount of padding polyester there, after which we sew up the hole.

Then we overlap the head onto the dress, leaving a small hole for the padding polyester. Having stuffed it too, we sew up the last hole. The felt toy is ready! Thanks to step-by-step photos, the process of creating Peppa will go much faster.

We sew an “identification mark” onto the front part - a decorative little thing, like a heart, a snowflake, a bow - whatever.

We sew both parts of the toy together using a simple buttonhole stitch. When the sewing reaches the neck, you can immediately sew a ribbon pendant and a festive ribbon onto the neck.

When it remains to sew up the tummy, first fill the toy with filler, distributing it evenly. Then we stitch the hole. You can sew a funny pompom in place of the ponytail.

All that remains is to decorate the muzzle: sew on a button-nose and beads-eyes.

• Christmas stars

From a simple material of the most ordinary form you can get an original product with a certain mood. Let's try to do this by making a few festive stars that will transform even the most modest little Christmas tree.

4. Filling: padding polyester, padding polyester or holofiber;

Draw a star on paper measuring 8 cm across. Cut out this simple star template from paper. The template is outlined on felt with a pencil or marker. It is important that all the stars are the same. The stars are cut out of the material and connected in two pieces with a pin.

Stage 2

We sew the two parts of the star into one, leaving a little space for stuffing. Fill it evenly, then sew up the last hole.

Stage 3

Sew beads to the stars. For convenience, you can do this before both parts of the star are sewn together - if desired.

Stage 4

We thread a woolen thread into one end of the star, using which you can hang the finished felt product on the Christmas tree. The simplest and very cute New Year's toy made of felt is ready.

• Garland-pigtail

Another beautiful and simple felt “toy” that will definitely change the mood of all the inhabitants of the house for the better is a two-color braided garland. This type of decoration is easy to make, and most importantly, you don’t need to waste time filling the toy and sewing around the edges

Materials:

1. Felt of any holiday colors;
2. Scissors, stationery knife;
3. Needle, thread, pins;
4. Pencil.

Progress:

We cut out strips of the same size from two sheets of felt of different colors (length 25 cm, width as desired). We fasten two multi-colored strips together with pins at the top and bottom.

Then, in the middle of the double strip, two cuts are made with a stationery knife (as in the photo). After this, we make a “pigtail” pattern: we thread the end of the double strip closest to it into the upper slit, and then the strip is threaded into the second slit.

Now you can make a garland from several ready-made “braids” by sewing them all together. Or you can leave it short and hang it around the house.

Educational for children

Educational toys made of felt are a very popular trend, since even novice craftsmen and needlewomen can sew such products on their own, and there are many options for such toys - for a wide variety of ages and interests of children.

• Felt puzzles “In the animal world”

Bright two-piece puzzles with cute animal faces are sure to attract a child. This way you can start teaching your child in a playful way. Let's take a closer look at how to make such an educational game out of felt with your own hands.

Materials:

1. Templates;
2. Hard felt of different colors for the base and figures;
3. Beads for eyes;
4. Glue;
5. Scissors, pins, needle, floss, ruler;
6. Pencil or self-disappearing marker.

Template for work:

Progress:

Stage 1

On a sheet of paper, mark 12x12 cm squares using a ruler and pencil. The result should be 10 squares. Then we print out animal patterns and cut them out on paper.

Stage 2

We trace the animal patterns, pre-attached to the material with a pin, on brightly colored felt. Muzzles and paws are made in two copies, the second copy will “mirror” the first. We cut out all the outlined parts with scissors or a stationery knife. This creates a ready-made basis for creative work.

Stage 3

Our patterns with rectangles can be turned into puzzle patterns by drawing something like a “castle” in the middle. Now you can cut out one of the shaped halves and attach it to the rectangle, trace it and cut it out. We do the same with another bright rectangle, which is intended for the back of the puzzle.

Stage 4

After this, we select one of the animal blanks, apply it to the front double part of the future puzzle, and select the most suitable place for the animal. Sew the top piece to one of the front halves of the puzzle using simple stitches. It is important to first make an indent from the edge of the background of the puzzle, leaving space for connecting stitches between the bases.

Stage 5

Now the half of the puzzle with the animal is turned over in order to cut off the desired half of the animal along its contour. We attach part of the body to the bottom base of the puzzle and sew it in accordance with the edges of the contours. At this stage, the animal needs to sew on light details of the muzzle and body, which are cut off according to the same principle as the body.

Stage 6

We sew the front and back parts of the puzzle together using regular stitches, hiding the knot between the pieces. We sew on the animal’s nose and paws, glue on eyes or sew on beads. We use the same principle with all other puzzles.

The result of the work will be cute puzzle toys that are sure to delight and captivate children.

• Game “pick clothes for the animals”

A wonderful game for kids that teaches the colors of animals, and it will also help them take a creative look at the big world with little eyes. Making it couldn't be easier: the game doesn't require much skill or artistic education—the simpler the better. This felt toy is suitable for babies over one year old.

Progress:

Stage 1

You need to take six single-color sheets of felt of the same size, first draw 6 simple animal figures on paper, cut them out and transfer them to felt with a pencil. Then you need to cut out these ovals and primitive images of animals with a stationery knife.

Stage 2

Next, we should cut out several triangles, ovals and circles from bright felt sheets for the ears and heads of our future animals. You can buy eyes in special stores, or you can also cut out circles or beads. All this needs to be glued to large sheets of felt, or sewn by hand (for small children it is better to choose the option of sewing by hand, because they put everything in their mouth).

Stage 3

Now we need to take care of making “fur coats” for our home zoo. Here it is better to use bright, interesting felt colors to attract the baby’s attention with them. You will only have to work on four coats: a zebra, a cow, a fish and a giraffe. We cut out simple stripes or spots for our fur coats and sew them to the background sheets of felt.

Here's another simple tutorial on making a felt toy - this time a chicken. Thanks to the video, it will be easier for beginning needlewomen to learn this fascinating applied art.

Chanterelles are gaining popularity on the Internet and may soon catch up with seals. And children really like them: bright, red, with fluffy long tails. Knowing this, you can please your child by giving him a gift in the form of a toy.

Materials

To make it, you will need soft felt fabric in red, white and black, and a plastic nose (sold at a craft store). To apply a pattern to the material you need a fabric marker and an erasable marker, as well as a ruler. For stuffing - padding polyester for toys and a stick to place it inside. The fox will be decorated using a satin ribbon, a glue gun, and pastels. You also cannot do without threads, needles and scissors.

How to make it?

Sewing steps:

1. The first step is to apply the pattern to the fabric and cut out the parts.

2. Then position them correctly relative to each other: attach a white shirt-front to the red body, cheeks to the muzzle, do not forget to attach the white triangles of the ears and the black tip of the tail. Glue the colored elements to the red body.

3. Using vertical stitches of white threads, sew cheeks to the muzzle, a shirtfront to the body, and triangles to the ears.

4. Glue the plastic nose in place.

5. Sew the front sides of the ears using a buttonhole stitch using red threads. Make the stitches carefully, at an equal distance from each other, so that the toy looks beautiful.

6. Sew the ears with irregular stitches to the front of the head.

7. Apply a drawing on the white part of the face with an erasable marker: closed eyes and a smile.

8. Using black thread, use a back stitch to embroider all the drawn elements. Try to keep the seam loops small, it looks nicer.

9. Apply rosy cheeks with pink pastel.

10. Use the same looped stitch with orange thread to sew across the entire head. As you work, don’t forget to sew the ears into their designated place.

11. Do not finish the seam, leave a hole through which to stuff the toy. Only then finish it.

12. Use black thread to attach the tip of the tail in place in the usual way.

13. Sew the tail with orange threads, not forgetting to stuff it.

14. Proceed in the same way with the shirtfront and body, into which the tail is sewn, like the ears in the head.

15. The result will be a head and a torso, which need to be connected to each other using an orange thread. Since this place is the most mobile in toys, take a double thread.

The little fox-sister is a frequent heroine of children's fairy tales. She, like other fairy-tale characters, can be sewn from felt so that the child can play with her and organize small home performances.

• - scissors;
• - needle;

The procedure for making a toy fox

1. Let's start making a fox with a pattern. The fox pattern consists of 8 parts - head, ear, nose, dress, tail, tip of the tail, front and hind legs. All of the listed parts must be cut out of paper, observing their proportions and size.

2. When the paper blanks are ready, you can start cutting them out of felt. First, cut out the parts from orange felt - tail (2 pcs.), head (2 pcs.), front paws (4 pcs.), hind paws (4 pcs.).

3. Now you need to cut out the white parts - two ears, one nose and two parts for the tip of the tail.

4. It remains to cut out two parts of the dress; we will cut them out from yellow felt with white polka dots. If you don’t have such felt, you can take plain yellow felt or felt of some other color.

5. Now all the parts for the toy fox are ready, you can start sewing them together. First, we sew the details of the dress with yellow threads using a blanket stitch. We will leave an unsewn area at the bottom of the dress.

6. Now take the orange parts of the tail and use white threads to sew the white ends of the tail to them.

7. Put the tail parts together and sew with orange threads, leaving a small hole on the side of the tail.

8. Let's start sewing the head. Let's take one part of the head and use white threads to sew the part of the nose to it. At the top we will sew the white ear pieces.

9. Sew the prepared head piece with the nose and ears sewn onto the second head piece using orange threads, leaving a hole at the bottom for stuffing.

10. The paws also need to be sewn with orange threads, leaving small holes for stuffing them with padding polyester.

11. To give volume to the toy, all parts need to be filled with padding polyester, pushing it into the holes with a thin stick or knitting needle.

12. Use orange thread to sew up the holes on the paws and tail.

13. Attach the fox’s head to the neck and carefully sew it on with a hidden seam.

14. We left an unsewn area at the bottom of the dress; now we need to put the hind legs into it and sew it with yellow threads, sewing up the unsewn area on the dress at the same time.

15. Sew the front paws on the top sides of the dress.

16. Turn the fox figure over and sew the tail to the back of the dress.

17. Let’s turn the fox figurine over again with its muzzle up, thread black threads into a needle and sew on the fox’s black nose and eyes using small beads.

18. To make our toy fox even more elegant, take a green satin ribbon and tie it around the fox’s neck in the form of a bow. We trim the ends of the ribbon and cut them at an angle; in addition, they can be burned with a lighter so that the bow remains neat longer and its ends do not unravel.

The red toy fox is ready. Now the child can use it in their games or simply put it on a shelf to decorate the room. If you sew a loop of thin ribbon onto it, the fox can turn into a Christmas tree decoration or a backpack pendant.
