What is felt - a brief educational program

Before diving into a new hobby, it’s worth knowing what felt is and what types of it are best suited for needlework.

Felt is a fibrous non-woven material. Traditionally it is made from wool, but modern industry produces many types of felt from natural to synthetic with different densities.

Before you run to the store for everything you need, first decide which felt crafts you plan to make with your own hands, because different types of material are suitable for different purposes. The most common varieties are:

Acrylic felt. Made entirely from synthetics. The surface of this felt is slippery and shiny. On sale you can find almost any color of acrylic felt, and it is inexpensive, so for beginners this is the most the best choice. Acrylic felt makes wonderful flowers, souvenirs, key chains, covers for tablets and mobile phones.

Bamboo felt. It is made from bamboo fiber with an admixture of viscose. Such material is durable, wear-resistant, but quite expensive.

Semi-woolen felt. It is made up of 1/3 wool and 2/3 synthetic. Soft, flexible, holds its shape well, but spreads when washed. It is not recommended to make voluminous stuffed toys from it, but it is ideal for small decor.

Wool felt. Absolutely natural material. Very thick, dense. Not suitable for small crafts and decor. Slippers, booties, hats are usually made from it. Now many do it themselves, having mastered it.

What you need to work with felt

In addition to felt, for crafts you will need to prepare the following materials and tools:

• threads (ordinary sewing threads are suitable, or bright, thick ones, such as floss or iris);
• scissors - regular and zigzag;
• needles, pins;
• ballpoint pen or marker for marking parts;
• glue gun;
• decorative accessories such as buttons, beads, etc.;
• thick paper for patterns.

Making beautiful poppies

I would like to delve a little into the topic of felt crafts and demonstrate a master class for creating poppies.

Materials - red, white, green felt, black threads, synthetic winterizer, scissors, needle.

Progress

First, cut out the poppy petals, fold them in half, sew them in the middle, but not completely. We cut out the middle of the poppy from white felt, stitch it in a circle with a white thread, put the synthetic winterizer inside and tighten the thread

Now we sew the petals, first two together, then we sew the third to them.

We create black fringes in the middle of the flower, for this we wind black threads around our fingers

Then we bandage the middle and cut along the edges.

Sew black fringes and a white bubo to the middle of the flower, making a few stitches in a circle.

We make a stem, for this we cut out a long piece of green felt and sew its edges together, resulting in a long empty stem.

Then using long needle we fill the stem with synthetic winterizer and sew it with a flower.

In the same way, we make two more flowers and decorate the bouquet with additional dried stems. The work is ready.

The above diagrams will help you navigate the crafts, and this type of needlework, I hope, will become your future hobby.

You can also make New Year's crafts from felt with your own hands, which were mentioned above, try to do them yourself and you will see how easy it is.

You can make anything out of felt! This beautiful material is perfect for making a wide variety of gifts with your own hands. It will be an ideal material for experienced craftswomen and beginner needlewomen. Moreover, it is with felt that it is easiest to start introducing children to handmade. This fabric does not crumble in the process of work, perfectly holds its shape and is surprisingly pleasant to the touch. You can make a lot of interesting products from it - jewelry and toys, covers and bags, flowers and letters. Now about all this in a little more detail.

Toys

Warm and soft, felt toys will always be a gift suitable for any occasion and for any addressee. Adults enjoy them just as much as children. They are great for a birthday. For example, you can sew a little owl with your own hands, attach a carabiner or cell phone clasp to it and present it as a keychain for your phone or keys.

If a pin is sewn to the inside of an owl, it will turn into a funny brooch. One more unusual idea- attach a frame lined with the same fabric to the toy and make an organizer out of it for storing rubber bands and hairpins.

You can sew your own felt owl using this pattern (the picture is enlarged).

All the details must be transferred to paper, then the paper pattern should be transferred to the felt and the details sewn to each other in sequence. For the filling of an owl, a synthetic winterizer, holofiber or just ordinary cereals are suitable.

The heart is the simplest and most famous form of toy, and a child can easily make it. Felt hearts are decorated with embroidery, beaded beads, the first letter of the name. It turns out a romantic and tender valentine as a gift for Valentine's Day. Such hearts can also become a delicate decoration for the wedding hall.

For Easter, you can sew an egg with your own hands and embroider it with sequins, beads, rhinestones or just melange or metallic threads. Such a souvenir will look great in a box, the bottom of which is covered with sisal or paper shavings. You can also sew rabbits, chickens or gingerbread men as Easter decorations.

In the hands of a craftswoman, felt can easily turn into beautiful new Year gifts- Christmas trees embroidered with colorful buttons, funny snowmen with funny embroidered faces, and even holiday garlands. Ribbons or a decorative cord are sewn to the top of the product and hung on a Christmas tree. To make such a toy with your own hands, it takes very little time and no special skills, but each craftswoman gets her own, individual. If you make it a rule to give a loved one only 1 hand-sewn felt toy for every Christmas, then in a few years he will have a real author's collection, which over time will surely become a family value and a source of pride.

Flowers

Violets and daisies, peonies and asters, dahlias, roses, tulips and various fantasy flowers can be made from felt. If you sew a stem and leaves to them, you get a decorative composition in a vase or pot. Flowers without stems are suitable for hairpins, elastic bands, bracelets. They can also become an elegant decoration for any hat or a bright brooch for a dress or coat. They keep their shape perfectly and always look spectacular. There are several ways to make them yourself.
1. Using a flat template, which must first be cut out of paper. petals different shapes, sizes and shades are sewn on each other in folds and give the product the necessary volume. A bead, a button or just a felt circle is sewn or glued in the center. Below are some suitable templates:

2. This is how a rose is made: the fabric is laid in several layers in a square on which a spiral is drawn. The spiral is cut with scissors. Then it is folded in a circle and every 2-3 turns is fixed with a thread. The result is such wonderful roses. If the edges of the spiral are cut not with a straight line, but with waves, then the flower will look even more interesting due to the uneven edge.

3. The third manufacturing method is folding the fabric with “pounds”: twice in half, after which such a petal is sewn to the base around the corner. Funtikami can make a chrysanthemum or aster. If there is a lot of fabric available, then from it you can create not just a single flower, but a real flower ball. To do this, the petals must be sewn or glued to any round base, for example, a foam ball.

Decorations

You can turn a flower into an elegant brooch or an elegant hair band in a matter of minutes. Any fashionista, from young to old, will be delighted with such a gift. It is enough to prepare strong elastic bands, a fastener for a hairpin, a headband or an elastic bandage in advance. However, the decoration can be created entirely from felt, for example, a flower bracelet.

Letters and numbers

The idea of ​​making felt letters and numbers came to us from European craftswomen. Such toys make the acquaintance of kids with the world pleasant and warm, and therefore enjoy well-deserved popularity among needlewomen. You can create a whole alphabet or, conversely, limit yourself to only the letters of the child's name. TO reverse side letters can be sewn with Velcro and attached to decorative panel or glue magnetic tape and turn the letters into fridge magnets.
They are made large and small, plain and multi-colored, with and without applications. They are safe for the child and pleasant to the touch.

Cases

A felt case is a cozy and gentle protection for your phone, tablet or glasses. Embroidery or applique will help to make it truly exclusive. For example, you can embroider brand letters or the owner's name. Sewing such a product with your own hands is very simple, just make a pattern by taking measurements from the gadget. It is better to take the material thicker (about 4 mm.). For beauty, you can cut out a fastener from the same fabric to the cover and sew Velcro on the end.
The idea can be complicated by making an application on the front side in the form of a muzzle of a fox, owl or wolf. Such a thing looks bright and unusual, so the gift is guaranteed to attract attention and be remembered by everyone.

Other products

You can also sew beautiful wallets, organizers for storing things and even bags from felt. It is much more convenient to store pens, pencils or felt-tip pens in a cozy felt organizer with pockets for pens, which is rolled up and fastened with Velcro or other fastener.

In interior decor, felt is used to make decorations for seasonal wreaths and decorative pillows. Such a soft pillow, decorated with a funny application, will perfectly fit into any nursery.

Use felt more often! Sew a panda-shaped cover, an owl-shaped pillow, a fox hat, a butterfly brooch, a funny mug cover for your loved one, a panel with bright letters, interior decorations for any season, fridge magnets in the form of fruits or cupcakes with your own hands. In each experiment, this material will become your indispensable assistant and help to realize the most daring and original ideas gifts.
