Felt is one of the most popular materials today - it is a fleecy material made of felted wool. As a rule, this material is sold in layers of various sizes and thicknesses. Textured, dense, not crumbling material offers dozens of colors for our ideas.

Felt can be called a universal material for needlewomen of any age - do crafts from felt loved by adults and children alike. Crafts from it are simple in execution, very bright and pleasant to the touch.

So, as the day of all lovers is approaching, I propose to do felt basket decorated with hearts. School-age children can easily cope with this craft.

To do felt gift basket for Valentine's Day You will need:

• felt 2-3 mm thick (1 sheet of A4 format - red, 2 colors of pink),
• needle,
• threads (main or contrasting color),
• paper,
• ruler,
• pencil,
• scissors,
• hot glue gun (optional)

First, it is better to draw a template on paper, since my felt sheets were A4, it was very convenient.

After the paper template is ready, cut it out.

We pin the template to a sheet of felt with tailor's pins or simple needles and cut it out.

We cut off the excess, but do not throw it away: it will still come in handy.

It should turn out like on a paper blank. Four folding "ears" and a square in the middle.


Now let's start the "assembly". Sew adjacent sides. I took threads of a contrasting color, it seems to me that it looks more interesting this way. Everything, of course, depends on your desire.

We sew the handle with a similar seam - two equal long strips of felt of the same color.

Sew the handle to the basket.

So bright felt basket does not even require decoration. But since the day of all lovers is approaching, we will decorate it with multi-colored felt hearts.

Cut out hearts different sizes, glue them or sew them the way you want.

This is such a cute basket! And you can put anything in it.

Create with pleasure!

The idea of ​​\u200b\u200btoday's crafts, which I will be happy to share with you, is so simple to manufacture, so versatile as a result. Today I suggest you make a multi-colored, slightly patchwork-style felt basket. You will be surprised, but for work we do not need anything other than pieces of bright felt, scissors and a little glue. And for sure, having made one basket, you will not be able to stop! After all, it can store a million little things in the bathroom, a felt basket will come in handy both on the dressing table and in the workplace. In short, let's get started!

1. So, cut from felt different colors 9 strips about 2 cm wide and about 25-30 cm long. And, of course, you can choose the color scheme for your basket to your liking.

2. Let's start weaving our baskets. To do this, take six prepared felt strips and weave them in the center, as shown in the figure. The crossed stripes will be the base - the bottom of our basket.

3. Our training basket is supposed to use 3 horizontal base strips. If desired, you can make the basket taller by using more stripes. And now we need to take the 3 remaining strips of felt and shorten them a little, by about 3.5 cm. Then form a ring from each strip, securely fastening them with glue.

4. After the glue has dried, we will continue. Let's put the first ring on the bottom of the future basket and throw the strips from top to outside through it, alternating them in a circle.

5. And now the remaining strips not involved in the previous step will be thrown through the ring, but only inward - to the bottom of the basket

6. Next, take the second felt ring and place it on top of our product. And now we will continue weaving - the strips lying inside at the bottom of the basket must be thrown through the second ring outward, and the strips that were outside the basket, on the contrary, we will throw through the ring inward to the bottom.

7. In the same way, we will repeat the interlacing of the strips with the third - the last upper ring.

8. Our basket is almost ready! We just have to fill the ends of the strips so that the product takes on a finished look. Simply tuck the remaining length of the strips inward, interlacing them with the horizontal rings. For reliability, it is better to use glue here so that the strips do not break out of the basket during its use.

Hello, dear readers of the Domovenok-Art blog! Spring, like any other season, gives us its special inspiration🌸. Here it is woven from many blooming flowers, grass reaching for the sun, long-awaited bird trills, and holidays celebrated in spring. And, perhaps, at this time of the year, Easter is the most inspiring holiday for mass handicraft feats.

Decorating the house, preparing Easter gifts, you can express yourself in a variety of handmade directions. Cardboard, decoupage, or here, felt. Today I want to show you how to make such an Easter basket made of felt. 🐥 And although it looks more like a bucket, but, by and large, it is not so important what word this product is called. This Easter composition looks very stylish and soulful.☝

And in order to sew an Easter basket of felt with your own hands, you do not need to have any super skills or special equipment. It is done quite simply and, importantly, also quickly in the presence of all materials. Therefore, let's first of all collect these very materials.

Materials and tools:

• felt (preferably hard and not very thin);
• upholstery fabric;
• threads to match the fabric (2 colors are possible) and a needle;
• glue Moment Crystal;
• decorative elements: ribbons, buttons, etc.;
• plain paper;
• scissors, pencil.

I hope there were no questions with the search for materials for sewing an Easter basket. Probably the most problematic thing here is to find felt desired density and colors. It so happened that I had 2 types of felt: red - rather thin (about 1.5 mm) and hard, as well as light green for the second basket - thick and very soft. In principle, you can work with both, but, in my opinion, it is better to give preference to hard. In this case, the finished bucket-basket holds its shape better, and there is a feeling that it is more reliable🔒. Well, if you find a thicker felt, it will be even better.

Easter basket made of felt. Master Class

We start creating our Easter felt basket with a pattern. We will do it on plain white paper. My baskets are small, about 8-8.5 cm at the base, however, in order to cut out the entire details of the walls of the bucket-basket and the handle, I had to glue 2 sheets.

Here is the general view of the pattern. You can click on the picture to enlarge (and Esc to exit to normal mode). The height of the walls is 11 cm, and the length of the handle can be adjusted according to your desire. All proportions are observed, so if you wish, you can print this option.

After the basket pattern has been cut out, I recommend that you estimate the future product in paper form, and if something does not look right, correct the pattern. Please note that the walls should have an overlap of about 2-3 cm.

Walls of an Easter basket made of felt

We circle the pattern of the wall on the felt, folding it in half. That is, we will have 2 parts. If you want to make the basket denser or the felt is too thin/soft, you can use 2 layers of material. Cut out.

On the reverse side chintz also circle the walls. This will be the first decoration of our Easter basket. Here you can almost not leave a supply of fabric for the hem. Cut out the details.

We take a needle and thread, bend the edge a little and we outline. On the sides, the hem needs to be done a little more. This is due to the fact that initially we left a margin on the pattern for overlapping felt parts (it will be more clear later). Overlapping is not needed on chintz. After the whole workpiece needs to be ironed.

Now we sew this fabric with an offset to one side. In the photo you can see that the indentation from the right edge and from the top is quite small (the part lies top to us). So, the rugs of the walls of the felt Easter basket are ready.

Bottom and handle of an Easter basket made of felt

Once again, we check according to the pattern whether the bottom is suitable, because in the process of gluing the walls of the felt basket, the diameter of the base could change slightly. You can even do something like this: take a few clothespins and attach the intended circle of paper to the walls in several (the more, the better) places. If there are no gaps left, nothing goes in folds - it means that everything is calculated correctly.

Now, after trying on, draw the desired circle on the felt and cut out the bottom of the bucket.

The next step is sewing the bottom to the walls. For felt, a neat looped seam on the outside is good. Our Easter bucket basket looks more believable now.

Let's move on to creating the pen. We cut out one part of the handle from felt and chintz. Instead of chintz, you can use a wide ribbon to match.

Using the method described above, we prepare the fabric and sew it to the felt blank. If you are using decorative tape(as, for example, on a light green basket, see below), then it can simply be glued.

The next step is to connect the handle with bottom bucket-baskets. Here in the photo you see only a sewn wooden button. In fact, for reliability, it is better to pre-glue the handle. Then it will not be scary to lift a full basket.

decorative part

So, we have done the main part! Our Easter felt basket already looks really like a basket (well, or like a bucket)))). It remains to add accents, well, or decor, in other words 🙂

I decided to decorate the bottom with a polka dot ribbon, which supported the main pattern on the fabric. We stick the tape on the Crystal Moment.

I made a bow from the same ribbon, and I also found such a felt flower in a needlework store. But if you have a lot of different scraps of this material at home, you can build a flower with your own hands, which I did when making out a light green basket.

The bow is located on the handle, and the flower is right in the center of one of the sides of the bucket basket. Only instead of a red circle on a flower, I glued my button with polka dots.

And you know what, the Easter felt basket is ready! 🎉 All you need to do next is lay down, for example, a bunch of sisal, and then eggs. I'll tell you a secret: the buckets turned out to be quite deep, so I put sweets down under the sisal, because they are also usually given at Easter. So our basket turned out not only beautiful, but also practical.

And now briefly about the salad basket 👇 (photos increase when you click). Here I sewed the fabric in a different way: with a buttonhole stitch, and not with the usual one. Thus, on the inside, it is not clear from where it came from, not quite appropriate seam (except perhaps only from below). Just remember to remove the basting threads.

I really hope that everything works out for you too. In fact, there are a lot of ways to present Easter eggs, especially if we consider the option with baskets. On the Domovenok-Art blog, you will find several MKs on this topic, for example,. And you will find a selection of affordable ideas for Easter packaging.

Enjoy your preparation for the holidays, inspiration, Love and all the best and brightest! Give your loved ones the best!

Making a basket

We cut out an oval from cardboard (the size can be any - it depends on the size of the basket that you want to end up with). We also cut out 4 sides about 12-15 cm high.

From all the cut out parts we fold just such a mold, gluing it with glue. To keep well, we strengthen with clothespins, leave to dry.

We cut a strip of cardboard for the handle of the required length, also glue it. It looks like this.

We dilute the glue in water, moisten napkins in it, glue the workpiece. Like the decoupage technique. We leave to dry.

We now take colored paper. We begin to cut the grass, fence and flowers. This is where the help of the kids will be needed, who will be happy to do such a task.

Flowers can consist of several details, the main thing is that they are bright, spring!

We decorate the basket. We glue the fences on the sides. In the middle we put silk fabric. Glue the handle. We place the "grass". In conclusion, we glue the flowers anywhere - on the sides of the basket, on the handle, grass. We leave to dry.

What a beauty it turned out to be! What to fill it with? You decide. It could be dye eggs easter bunnies, rabbits, chocolate eggs and so on. And such an Easter basket is a great interior decoration for the Easter holidays! Not to mention that it is nice to receive it as a gift!

I want to invite you to sew a pretty basket with your own hands. I called the Easter basket because one of the baskets below has a rabbit appliqué. And so ... it is not at all necessary to sew a felt basket just for the holiday of Easter, it can be useful to all needlewomen for storing balls of yarn, threads, lace, and other trifles for needlework and creativity, as well as an organizer for children's toys.

To create a basket we need:

• colored decorative felt - green + dark green, blue + dark blue or lilac + dark lilac,
• felt or white felt yellow color,
• scissors,
• needle thread,
• black round beads or two beads,
• dry blush,
• cotton swab,
• large buttons - 2 pieces,

Let's get to work. This basket has an applique of a teddy bear's head, which we will cut out of felt white color. Decide on the size of the template yourself, it depends on the size of your basket.

The basket consists of four parts - two rectangles and two circles made of felt of the same color, but in different shades. The rectangle for the outer side of the basket is sewn together, and the rest of the parts are glued with hot glue.

To create a felt handle in two different shades, two strips with rounded edges are cut out, which are glued together with hot glue. Finished pen fastened to a felt basket with large sewn-on buttons.

Felt is a good material for needlework, because it is strong enough and holds its shape well. That is why you can make felt cups or even such an elegant basket. It is useful for storing sweets, any household trifles, and even for decorating flower pots with houseplant. In addition, this delicate product can be made a stand for Easter cake, from what festive table will look even nicer. Learn how to make a felt basket in this tutorial!

It is best to make it from a material of purple or lilac flowers, because we will decorate it with "pansies" flowers of the same tones. The combination can be like this: burgundy basket + pink flowers.

To make a basket you will need: hard felt of the desired color, scissors, a hole punch, decorative rope or ribbon, two transparent beads, beads (yellow and black), organza for flowers, thread and needle, and a sharp bar of soap or a washable fabric marker.

DIY felt basket: description
From the felt you need to cut out a large circle. Its size will depend on your wishes about the dimensions of the finished basket.

For example, the diameter of the circle will be 44 cm. We cut out the circle, trying to make its edges even.

We make a line 8 cm long from the edge of the circle towards the center. We mark it with a marker.

After a few centimeters, we make another such line along the edge. Note that the lines don't have to be parallel, as they run from the edge towards the center point of the circle. We make the same lines around the entire perimeter of the circle. We make cuts with scissors.

We make two holes on the edge of each “petal” with a hole punch. A decorative rope will then have to crawl into these holes, so you need to calculate their diameter.

These holes should turn out around the circle:

The circle should have an even number of petals, because we will collect them together through one.

We push the rope, as shown in the photo. Pull it down and get voluminous basket. If you look at the product, it may seem that the rope is threaded only into the outer "petals" of the basket. But this is not so: for better fixation, the internal elements are also hidden. After tying the rope with a beautiful bow, two transparent beads can be put on its ends.

Then we make flowers from fabric (from satin or organza), decorate them with bead centers and sew them to the outer parts of the basket.

A great felt basket is ready! It should turn out neat even for a beginner in needlework, because the edges of the felt do not fray and do not need additional processing. Instead of flowers, the product can be decorated with ribbon bows, beads or rhinestones.
