If you are a Tild fan, then you should definitely see the review with patterns and tips sewing primitive dolls

1. We are preparing a pattern. First, we determine the diameter of the bottom of the cone and its desired height, and, based on this, any convenient way we build a sweep. Calculation formulas and construction methods are easy to find on the Internet. We draw a pattern of hands arbitrarily.

Pattern of Santa Claus

2. Cut out a circle from thick cardboard, draw a line through its center, which we divide into three equal segments. At their joints we cut holes for the wire. We impose a synthetic winterizer circle and a circle of colored fabric of a slightly larger diameter. We tighten the fabric around the cardboard.

3. We bend the thick wire in a U-shape, pierce it through the holes in the cardboard, synthetic winterizer and fabric. We bend the ends of the wire at the "ankles" and make "feet". We fasten a thin one to the jumper copper wire longer than the height of the cone, about 10 centimeters.

4. Important! We carefully glue the wire with hot glue to the cardboard and glue the wire joint. At this stage, the construction should be well balanced and stable, the cardboard should not fall down the wire!

Legs for Santa Claus

5. Cut out two rectangles from colored fabric about one and a half times the length of the legs and a width of about 4 centimeters. Fold in half lengthwise, stitch, turn inside out. We pull on the legs and sew to the bottom with a hidden seam.

6. From the cotton fabric for the torso, we cut out the sweep of the cone. Fold in half and stitch along the edge, leaving the last couple of millimeters unsewn at the top. We bend the edge around the circumference, we outline. We turn the resulting cone out of the fabric.

Torso of Santa Claus

7. We put the cone on a thin wire, leading its free end through the hole at the top. We stuff the body with holofiber. We make sure that during stuffing the wire remains approximately in the center of the cone. We sew the folded edge of the body along the circumference to the bottom with a hidden seam.

8. Cut out soles from cardboard. You draw them arbitrarily, the main thing is that they are slightly longer in the back and front than the wire loops. We glue the soles to the wire with hot glue, watching their stability.

9. Cut out with scissors and stationery knife"boots" made of foam rubber. We cut a recess for the wire from below and cut a slot in the back in order to insert the “ankles” into it. It is more important not accuracy, but the symmetry of the "boots". We glue the foam rubber with hot glue.

10. We cut out two ovals from red fleece of such a size that it is enough to fit the foam rubber “boots” with a small margin. At one of the elongated vertices of the oval, we cut out a sector in the form of a triangle, put the fleece on the foam rubber, sew up the heel with a blind seam and tighten the fleece around the cardboard sole.

11. From felt suitable color we also cut out two ovals a little larger than the cardboard sole. We glue the felt to the sole with hot glue, cut off the excess, hem the felt to the fleece with a blind seam.

Fleece boots for Santa Claus

12. We outline on the body approximate lines for the top of the jacket and the bottom of the cap. There will be a face between them. Cut out a small circle from the fabric, put a padding polyester ball inside, tighten along the edge. It turns out a spout that needs to be sewn onto the face with a hidden seam.

13. Prime the face with white acrylic paint. We try not to go too far into the territory of the future beard and hair, so that in the future there will be no difficulties with their adhesion. Which face to draw is a matter of your taste and imagination.

Draw a face for Santa Claus

14. We cut out a jacket in the form of a truncated cone from red fleece, fold it in half, sew along the edge, turn it inside out. We sew handles in mittens from fleece and colored fabric, leaving holes for stuffing, turn it inside out, stuff it, sew up the holes with a blind seam.

15. We pull the jacket on the body, sew it from below and along the neck with a hidden seam. Temporarily pin the handles in order to evenly distribute the application. We cut out the details from the felt, pin it to the body, finally think over the location of the composition.

16. We first fix the details of the application on the fleece with a drop of Moment glue so that they do not move, and only then we sew. Optionally, we use buttons, beads, beads, decorative elements. We sew with hidden seams ribbons of "snowdrifts" from white fleece.

Fur coat for Santa Claus

17. From white fleece we cut out the lapels of the boots and cuffs, fold in half, sew along the edge. We pull on the arms and legs, sew by hand.

18. By the same principle, we cut out the collar. To maintain the "drift" style, the edge of the collar, cuffs, boot lapels and cap can be made wavy.

19. We sew the handles to the body with a strong thread using a button fastener. We tighten the thread a little, tie a knot and glue it for strength with Moment glue.

20. We tear off about 10 centimeters of wool from the combed ribbon, collect it in a bundle of the desired thickness and carefully attach it with a felting needle like a beard. Then we tear off a bundle of wool 2 times thinner and about 20 centimeters long, roll it in the middle under the nose, like a mustache.

21. We tear off two more bundles of wool, equal in length and density to a beard, roll them on both sides of the face. With the reverse side of the felting needle, carefully comb and lay the wool in a full beard.

Beard and mustache for Santa Claus

22. We also attach and form a hairstyle on the sides and on the back of the head. If necessary, you can trim a little with scissors and sprinkle with regular hairspray so that the wool does not fluff.

Hair for Santa Claus

23. On the basis of half of the cone, we cut out a cap that is strongly elongated and narrowed towards the top from colored fabric. The height of the cap should correspond to the length of the free end of the wire plus 1-2 centimeters for freedom of bends. We sew the details, leaving the top open.

Cap for Santa Claus

24. We turn the cap inside out, put it on the head, leading the wire through the upper hole, sew along the edge to the head. Bend the end of the wire into a loop. We sew a lapel of white fleece and a pompom, hiding the end of the wire in it.

24. Santa Claus is almost ready. If necessary, then add decor, completing the image. If you want, you can additionally sew a bag with gifts, a Christmas tree or, for example, a symbol of the year in a pair.

Santa Claus is ready! More real miracles for you!

In anticipation new year holidays needlewomen begin to make various Christmas decorations. Performed decorations can be both flat and voluminous. The most popular pendant is Santa Claus made of felt. You can make patterns yourself or use the templates offered in this article.

Toys in this way are made very quickly and simply. In one evening, you can make several decorations in various options. Consider the most interesting products.

Advantages of felt

The most important and basic material for sewing this toy is felt. It has various colors of bright and juicy tones. The surface of the fabric is fleecy and pleasant to the touch. The cut of the edge of the material does not crumble, therefore it does not require sewing on a typewriter and facilitates the work in the manufacture of Santa Claus from felt. Patterns can be created immediately on the material. Felt is convenient because it goes well with various fabrics and paper. On the edge of the fabric, decorative seams look original and beautiful. The density of the material can be different, which determines the shape of Santa Claus. If the material is thick, then the toy may be flat. From thin matter, you can sew a three-dimensional decoration.

Additional materials

In addition to the material, you will need threads in tone and a contrasting color to decorate the toy, as well as small needles with a small eye used for hand sewing and quilting. You also need paper to transfer the Santa Claus pattern from felt, adhesive-based beads, eyes, rhinestones or beads to decorate the edging of the cap.

It is also worth buying a ribbon or braid 10-12 cm long for hanging toys on a Christmas tree. In addition, you need to prepare scissors and a marker. You may need glue to fix small parts. To add volume to Santa Claus from felt, you will need a synthetic winterizer or any other filler.

Pattern work

A toy as a future Christmas tree decoration should be small. The grandfather's symbolic toy can only represent his head. Optionally, you can add lower part. Patterns of Santa Claus from felt can contain a face, a nose, a characteristic beard and mustache, a traditional hat with a fringing and a bell, as well as a base on which all parts are sewn. To create a flat toy, it is enough to prepare one part of each template. If you need a voluminous Santa Claus made of felt, then each element must be duplicated.

After redrawing the template on a piece of paper, cut out all the details. Since our grandfather is not monophonic, it is necessary to prepare felt of certain colors. A material in beige, light pink or light brown shades is suitable for creating a face. The beard, mustache and cap rim must be white. The headdress itself must be made of red felt. All cut out details of the pattern should be applied to the material of the appropriate colors and, using a marker, carefully circle the templates. Next, we cut out all the elements from the fabric strictly along the lines. In sewing Santa Claus from felt, seam allowances are not required.

Making a toy

First of all, take the basis of the future toy. It can be either red or white and will serve as the back of the decoration. Then, using the fitting, select the optimal position for the face of Santa Claus and sew to the base with hidden stitches with a thread to match the top part. Put on the beard on top and sew along the edge decorative seam. Next, attach the mustache. They can be sewn on completely or attached only in the nose area. The next detail will be a hat, which also needs to be beautifully sewn to the base of the toy. On the bottom of the hat we place a fringing. If desired, the headdress can be decorated with a pompom and attach a satin ribbon for hanging on the Christmas tree. Don't forget to place Santa's nose between the beard and mustache. Eyes can be cut out of felt and glued to the face, or you can replace them with small beads.

Sewing a voluminous toy will not be difficult. Just create each element from two parts and fill it with a padding polyester a little. Then lay decorative stitches along the edge and connect all the parts together in the same way as the previous description.
