Greetings, my dears! We continue the magical theme of preparing for the New Year. Let me remind you that we previously made and considered. That's not all, and today we are figuring out what kind of New Year's toys you can make from felt with your own hands. This material is accessible and easy to use, so even a beginner child can handle it.

It is not expensive and comes in many shades. And what kind of crafts they can come up with just from it. Last year I wrote and gave patterns for different ones.

Today we’ll look at Christmas trees, fawns, mittens and other New Year paraphernalia. Of course, let's pay attention to the symbol of 2019 - the pig.

Let's talk a little about the nuances of working with this felt:

If you decide to sew all the details, then let's look at what types of seams there are.

You can see that the edges of the crafts are beautifully finished. This can be done either by machine or by hand. If you prefer the latter option, then here is a loop stitch for you to consider.

You can also see that the internal parts are finished with a needle-forward stitch.

Or “over the edge.”

The “chain” type of seam looks beautiful.

Of course, some even embroider with satin stitch on their products, but the seams listed are enough for a novice craftswoman to create a very beautiful craft.

So, we considered the types of seams in advance. Practice them a little, but don't put off creativity until later. After all, initially the toy can be glued together.

What simple and easy thing can inexperienced craftswomen or children make? In my opinion, snowmen, mittens, balls and Christmas trees are the most suitable options.

Here is an idea of ​​where the parts are glued.

Well, let's continue about snowmen. First, a few simple ideas for inspiration, and then step-by-step master classes.

Here we will use a buttonhole stitch to join and finish the edge.

Now let's look at the master class itself on how to make such a cute snowman face for the Christmas tree.

Master class No. 1. Snowman

You will need the bare minimum: three sheets of felt in white, red and orange colors; scissors; threads; filler; decor.

Cut out 2 ball parts from a white sheet (you can use a cotton pad as a template). On the face we draw or make little knots of eyes and a mouth. Glue a carrot from orange felt.

Let's cut the hat, we need two parts. Its length is equal to the diameter of the face. We glue 1 side of the hat onto the blank with a face, and glue the second side onto an empty white round blank.

Now we put a loop of ribbon or thread between them and sew the edges with a buttonhole stitch. We leave a small part unsewn to fill the toy with filler. Then we sew up the edge and decorate the craft.

Master class No. 2.

Another simple step-by-step master class. All steps are shown in the photo instructions.

If you are not yet very confident in your abilities, then choose simple shapes - a ball, a triangle, a heart. Already from them many ideas for creativity come out - take a look.

Master class No. 3. Christmas tree

These holiday trees are also very simple. But let's look at how to make such a craft.

So, we will take felt, a triangular paper template, curly scissors, pencil, filler, thread and needle and decor.

Transfer the template to the fabric. We cut out two parts with curly scissors.

On the front side we make knots for beauty. You can replace them with decor. Then we connect both parts with a “forward needle” seam, after inserting a loop of ribbon or cord inside. We leave the very bottom unsewn and stretch the filler there. We sew the cut and enjoy the craft.

Let's also watch a video that shows step by step the entire process of making the simplest toys.

I think that almost every person can follow the actions of the craftswoman.

Master class on making three-dimensional crafts “Ball”

Now we will greatly complicate the task so that you don’t relax. Let’s take and sew soft three-dimensional Christmas tree balls for decoration. They can act as pillows and even...

Let's take: thin felt, threads.

The pattern is attached after the description of the work process. There are two schemes for the ball: large and small.

So, we transfer the selected pattern onto the fabric and cut out the details. You need to take 6 pieces. Then, from the wrong side, we sew all the blanks with threads, leaving a space on one edge.

We turn the part right side out and fill it with holofiber or padding polyester.

We cut out the remaining parts from the pattern from silver fabric and make a pendant for the ball. We sew all the blanks together and fix them on our three-dimensional craft. Use a cord as a hanger.

Patterns for the ball.

That's all. You can repeat this craft from different types of fabric.

New Year's toys "Christmas tree" for children, master classes

Christmas trees are also quite simple to make. And they have many configurations, decoration ideas.

for example, you can make a craft with eyes, or with arms, legs, a hat, etc.

Master class No. 1. Christmas tree with eyes

Using the instructions below you can make such a beauty.

For naughty crafts, you need to take green and brown felt sheets, stuffing, scissors, a pattern and decorations.

So, we cut out two identical parts. We decorate them with thread knots, crosses, and stars. We sew on the eyes and mark the mouth with a “Forward needle” stitch in one thread. Now we sew the edges together using a buttonhole stitch or “over the edge”. We fill the toy through the barrel and close this hole with threads.

Pattern - A tree made of parts. All branches are marked with numbers, so you don’t get confused, you need to cut 2 pieces of each part.

Master class No. 2. Simple Christmas tree

Here is a very easy toy idea. Cut out a four-pointed star and sew the rays together. Fill the craft and decorate it with decor.

Master class No. 3. 3D Christmas tree

How to make a tree for decoration? Yes, just my dears. It is important to see the entire stage of work just once.

Two identical parts are cut out. Then cuts are made. One side has the top exactly to the middle. The other side goes exactly to the middle, but from below. The blanks are inserted into these cuts and the tree is almost ready.

Decorate the branches and praise yourself for their beauty.

Master class No. 4.

Another step-by-step instruction. Shown in great detail.

Master class No. 5. Garland

Here we show you step-by-step how to make a multi-colored felt garland. I think there is no point in explaining here, everything is shown very clearly. To ensure that the cord that connects all the parts is not visible, use two sides of the Christmas tree. Pass the lace through them and seal the edges. This will work out very neatly.

Patterns

A very unusual craft made from different types of felt. The diagram is attached.

Master class No. 6.

Another detailed master class. Let's take: felt, threads, filler, decor and ribbon.

Using this pattern, we will cut out two parts from the fabric.

We decorate both sides of the pendant with knots or decor.

To one we glue a ribbon or cord folded in half.

Cover this side with the second piece and sew the edges. We push the filler through a small hole and stitch the edge.

Using this scheme, you can make many variations of toys. Look here, there is a machine seam.

But here it comes manually.

You can combine colors to get a more unusual craft.

Flat toys also look interesting. You only need to decorate one side of the workpiece.

Buttons look interesting on such homemade trees.

Here is a diagram of a funny Christmas tree made from two types of felt.

You can even make toys on a leg, in the form of a topiary.

I decided to give you a couple of piglet patterns. This is the symbol of 2019. And they themselves are very cute little animals. Especially if they are made of fleecy felt.

I thank all the masters and craftswomen for sharing their works! Thanks to their golden hands, we can create on our own without worrying about making templates and stencils.

Who decided that the pig had to be pink? And we'll make it green!

Of course, these are not all the ideas, but these are the simplest and cutest ones I've ever seen.

Master classes “deer” made of felt for school

You need a lot of perseverance and patience. After all, if you sew the seams manually, then you need to maintain the distances between the seams, then the craft will turn out neat and decent.

We bring to your attention some simple ideas for making Christmas toys from felt with your own hands. We chose three New Year's symbols that are not usually toys and made Christmas tree decorations out of them. These toys will become a bright accessory on the Christmas tree and will leave pleasant memories for a long time.

New Year's felt candy

First we will sew a toy, which we call a New Year's candy. We will need:

- Red beads and seed beads;
- White threads;
- Filler;
- Needle and scissors.

Let's start by cutting out the pattern of the future toy and tracing it on felt. We will need two white parts mirroring each other and one red part. We will make leaves for decoration from green felt.

We work very carefully on red felt, trying not to leave pencil marks. We need the part to remain clean on both sides. Then we cut the red part as shown on the pattern. Take your time and cut carefully. Try not to mix up the pieces, so as not to assemble them like a mosaic later.

Let's start stitching. Let's start at the bottom end of the caramel. We take the parts made of white felt and fold them inside out to each other, then, in the third layer, we apply a piece of red felt corresponding to this fragment of the product, and sew them together with an overcast stitch.

When we come to the end of the red fragment, take the next one and apply it on the other side.

We continue to sew our caramel. Don't forget to apply the red pieces, one at a time, from different sides. As soon as we reach the end of one piece, we take the next one.
Having finished stitching on one side, we proceed to the second side of the toy. The red parts are already all sewn into place and all we have to do is sew the edges and add filler inside.

It’s better to add filler gradually, sew a little, stuff the stitched piece, and so on.

When the New Year's felt candy is completely sewn and stuffed, we begin decorating.

We take our green felt leaves, fold them into a fan, fasten them and sew them to the caramel just above the middle. Sew the leaves together very carefully; the felt at the ends is very thin and can be damaged.

After the leaves are attached to the toy, we take beads and seed beads. We string one bead and one seed bead onto a thread.

Then we thread the thread back into the bead and secure it to the product. Before fastening, check the thread; it may have twisted under the bead. You need to sew the bead so that the fabric is adjacent to the felt. Beads will not only add beauty to our toy, but will also hide the stitches with which we sewed the leaves.

We do the same with the rest of the beads. Finally, we attach a loop to the finished caramel, using it we will hang the toy on the New Year tree.

The felt Christmas candy is ready and will be a wonderful decoration for your holiday tree!

Felt mitten

To sew mittens we need:
- Felt in red, white and green;
- Red beads and seed beads;
- White and red threads;
- Filler;
- Needle and scissors.

First, as usual, we prepare the pattern (the pattern is at the end of this article). You can print it out or redraw it, then glue the pattern onto cardboard and cut it out. We apply the finished pattern to the felt and trace it. To transfer the pattern, you can use a chalk or pencil of any color, the main thing is that all traces remain on the wrong side. Of course, you need to be careful with white felt; marks can show through it.

When all the details of the mitten are cut out, we begin sewing. First, let's sew the white parts to the red ones. To do this, we use a regular basting stitch. Make small stitches, at a short distance from each other, so they will hold the parts together more firmly and will look more beautiful on the finished product.

Now let’s immediately sew our decoration onto the front part. We take the leaves, arrange them like a fan, fasten them together and sew them onto the mitten. When fastening the leaves, be careful not to overdo it. When sewing thin parts, felt can fluff or stretch, this spoils the appearance and strength of the product. For example, a carelessly sewn leaf may simply fall off over time.

Sew on the beads. After attaching the leaves, we do not break the thread, but simply bring it to the front side of the mitten and string the bead. After the bead we string a bead. We tighten the thread so that the bead fits snugly on the felt, and thread the corner with the thread back into the hole of the bead. Thus, the thread passes twice through the bead and once through the bead.

Now we fold the front and back parts of the mitten, with the wrong sides facing each other, and begin to sew. Sew along the edge with an overcast stitch. Try to make small stitches evenly spaced apart. Start sewing with the red parts, and when the red parts are sewn, fill the mitten with holofiber or padding polyester. Any other filler you have will do. We don’t stuff it too much, just to give our mitten some volume.
We change the thread to white and begin to sew the remaining upper part. Add a little more filler so that it is evenly distributed throughout the toy, and finish connecting the parts.

We attach a rope to the top part, in the middle, so that we can hang our New Year's toy on the Christmas tree.

The New Year's felt mitten is ready!

Felt boot

The process of creating a boot is similar to making a New Year's mitten.
We will also need
- Felt in red, white and green;
- Red beads and seed beads;
- White and red threads;
- Filler;
- Needle and scissors.

Cut out the pattern. You can change the dimensions of the pattern and make the boot the size you need: small, like a decoration for the Christmas tree, or large to put a gift in it. You just need to change the scale when printing the pattern. Don't forget that the details of the boot should mirror each other.

Sew the top white parts of the boot to the red ones. We use a basting stitch.

We decorate the front part with felt leaves and beads. You can place the decorative element according to your taste: at the top, bottom or even on the toe of the boot)

First we will sew the red part. Start from the top and move to the toe, it will be more comfortable. After the sock is sewn, we will add filler to it and continue connecting the two parts of the boot.

Then we change the thread and move on to the white part. If you are making a large boot for a gift, do not sew up the top part. Just finish the edges along the top with a blanket stitch, without joining them. If you are making a New Year's toy, when you finish sewing, attach a rope or ribbon at the top.

Now we can decorate the holiday tree with wonderful Christmas felt toys!

For convenience, we have prepared a kit for sewing felt toys. You can buy it by clicking here.

Felt Christmas tree: stencil and step-by-step instructions

Creating a felt Christmas tree as a decoration for a real Christmas tree is a fairly easy process. You will need green felt scraps, scissors, paper, pencil, thread and needles, beads or sequins and filler (optional or use cotton wool). Draw the silhouette of the Christmas tree on paper and cut it out, then attach it to a piece of felt, trace it with a pencil or chalk and cut it out. Sew or glue beads or sequins to decorate the Christmas tree. Finally, add cotton wool as a filler and sew both parts of the ornament together using an offset stitch.

Using the same technique, you can make similar Christmas tree ornaments using felt in a variety of colors and shapes. If you don't know much about sewing, just use glue. You can add a modern twist to these crafts by choosing trendy colors instead of the traditional red, green and white, or experiment with geometric shapes instead of traditional New Year's symbols. However, keep in mind that if you make Christmas decorations from felt with your children, it is better to use traditional winter ornaments to create a festive atmosphere - penguins, snowmen, deer, Christmas trees, balls, lamps, bells, owls, Christmas gifts, houses, gingerbread men, Santa Claus, stars, etc. Enjoy the photo gallery below and you're sure to find plenty of inspiration to create your own felt Christmas decorations!

Felt Christmas decorations - 24 photos

Have a wonderful December! Today we are looking forward to the New Year holidays and decorating our home with felt crafts. Everything will be discussed in more detail later in the article.

Making a choice

New Year and Christmas are ahead of us - a magical time, with joy, gifts and elegant houses. Today I want to show you some super easy home decorating ideas using felt, an affordable and easy to use craft material that you can use to create a whole range of things! From plush toys, pillows, accessories, to wall art and decorations, the options are endless!

I have collected several New Year's projects for you that you can do yourself. Try your hand at this step-by-step tutorial that's good for beginners and advanced DIYers.

Gingerbread toy

These little sentimental felt Christmas Gingerbread Cookies can create a magical mood. Suitable as a gift decoration or Christmas tree decoration.

Necessary materials

• felt;
• white thread and needle;
• small buttons;
• thin ribbons;
• hot glue gun;
• pen/pencil and scissors;
• cotton wool or padding polyester for stuffing;
• stencil or cookies.

Step 1

For each Gingerbread you will need two identical pieces of felt. I used the cookie itself as a stencil, but you can draw a man on a piece of paper and cut it out, tracing the resulting figure onto felt.

Step 2

Cut out your felt, decorate one figure - this will be the top part. You can decorate it to your liking, add various embellishments, I just trimmed the edges with white thread, added a red bow and two buttons using hot glue.

Step 3

Before assembling the two pieces of my cookie, I applied a little hot glue to the back of the top of the head to insert a ribbon loop for easy use of the finished craft (you can use it to attach it to gifts later or hang it on the tree).

Step 4

Then I drew glue from the wrong side along the contour: first the head, then the arms, torso and legs. I also added the padding gradually: after the glue had dried on the head, I filled it with cotton wool, then added the padding to the arms. Always let the glue dry before filling a specific area with cotton wool.

Step 5

When the entire small gingerbread was glued together and stuffed with cotton wool, I waited for it to dry and cut off the excess glue.

Step 6

As you already understand, the thread on the craft is decorative - just sew the gingerbread along the contour using the simplest stitch that we were taught at school during a craft lesson. New Year's cookies are ready!

Felt Christmas garland

And this wonderful mini-garland can not only decorate a gift, but also act as an independent decoration for walls, doors or a Christmas tree. Either way, this warm, soft, cozy felt garland never hurts during the holiday season!

Garland made of warm, soft and cozy felt

Although this is quite painstaking work, which involves cutting out all these small details, the result is worth it - your children will be delighted, and the author's look of obvious manual labor will give your interior a special zest, like everything that is made with your own hands - with love and warmth .

Necessary materials

• sheets of felt (or felt) - I found it on Ali Express, but it is also available in other online stores;

• thin felt-tip pen;
• Good sharp fabric scissors;

Step by step guide

1. Circles: Count out approximately 10-15 round shapes of different sizes in the same color and then cut them out by hand.
2. Triangles: Make a quick template to trace the triangles, then cut along the top corner, which creates a strip of interlocking triangles as shown in the picture. It's fast!
3. Arrange your shapes in order lengthwise as you see them (my garland has about 10 shapes).
4. Sew the shapes in one long row, leaving no space between each shape.

Felt Ornament “New Year Pudding”

Necessary materials

• sewing needle;
• pin for fixing parts;
• brown, white, dark green and red felt + matching sewing thread;
• ribbon of your choice (I used narrow black ribbon);
• fabric scissors.

Step by step guide

Step 1

First, cut out a circle according to a single template and then make a white icing shape from this circle as in the picture. The second circle cut out will be a brown cupcake, also round in shape. For one decoration you will need two of these forms.

Step 2

Next, cut out a small red circle, about a centimeter in size - this will be the cherry on the pudding. You will also need two leaves - they can be made into any shape. Then cut the desired length of tape. Depending on how the finished decoration will be hung, the ribbon can be long or short, but at least 12 cm in length.

Step 3

Fold the ribbon into a loop and sew securely to one circle of brown pudding. This will be the top of your decoration. It is not necessary to use brown threads to match the felt, since all the seams will be hidden.

Step 4

Next, attach the white “icing” to the front of the ornament (with the ends of the ribbon on the inside) and sew it in place using white thread.

Step 5

Now you need to place the leaves and berries - place the leaves on the ornament first and move them around until you are happy with the position. The leaves should overlap slightly, meet under the ribbon, and emerge from the top of the ornament.

Step 6

Once the correct angle is found, place the red berry on one side and sew through the leaves using dark green thread. Most of the stitches should be where the leaves will be hidden by the berry, but you should also sew one long stitch along each leaf to hold it in place. It is not necessary to make a seam all the way to the edge of the pudding; it should only peek out a little from under the berries.

Place leaves and berries

Step 7

Now all that remains is to sew on the second part of the cupcake and add the red berry. You can either sew on the berry first and then sew the front and back of the ornament together, or alternatively, leave the berry for last. The latter option will leave a few red stitches on the back of the ornament, but it will make the job a little less fiddly.

Step 8

Whichever method you choose, sew on the cherry with a large x-shaped red stitch for a nice decorative touch. Sew the front and back of the pudding together using white thread around the "icing" section, carefully pressing the leaves outside the seams.
