Do-it-yourself felt balls patterns. Workshops on making interesting New Year's toys from felt

I made New Year's felt balls with a fiery cockerel in three types. There just wasn't enough time for the fourth one. But he is 🙂 This MK contains all the subtleties of creating such decorations for the Christmas tree.

I warn you in advance, I did not publish the templates (patterns) in the public domain. But I will send them for free to everyone who wants to leave at least 3 comments on any pages of my site (preferably where there are the fewest comments 🙂). So you can thank me for my work.

For work you will need:

  • felt of medium hardness 4 colors;
  • colored pencils in the color of felt;
  • template printer;
  • embroidery threads with a sharp needle;
  • pins;
  • sharp scissors - for small details it is better to use manicure in general;
  • sintepuh for stuffing;
  • glue "Moment Crystal";
  • toothpick and paper napkins - just in case.

How to make from felt:

  1. We print the template. The pattern is specially given in Word format so that the dimensions of the patterns are preserved regardless of the settings of your printer. The details are very small. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to reduce the size.
  2. Cut out the details. Please note that a large part (a ball with a pimpochka suspension) must be cut out carefully, and small parts can simply be cut in a circle. In the future, apply the circle of detail to the felt and cut along the lines already with it.
  3. Depending on the available shades of felt, we choose pencils and plan color combinations - we color the picture. I decided to make a cockerel on a gentle blue background from red, orange and yellow felt flowers.
  4. Cut out pieces of felt. Try to be very careful, as the felt in small pieces can be deformed, and small and long parts can tear or crumble at the edges.

  5. We lay out the cut out parts on one half of the ball to determine their location and correspondence to each other. For example, if the neck frills are not aligned with the notches of the body, it is better to cut out the details again. Otherwise, the work will not be accurate.
  6. Now we remove the parts one by one, lubricate the back with glue with a toothpick, and return the ball back to the felt, press it. There should be enough glue to glue the part well along the entire perimeter, but at the same time, excess glue should not stain the background.
  7. When all the details are glued, we start embroidering. Sew on a bead-eye. With a thread of a different tone, we embroider the middle of the beak, wing feathers and legs. We fill the free space with white snowflakes from large and small crosses located on top of each other.
  8. Now we put the two details of the New Year's ball together with the wrong sides inward. With an embroidery thread of a contrasting color, we first connect with straight stitches in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe suspension. We sew the perimeter of the ball with a manual seam over the edge. Try to make punctures with a needle at the same distance from each other and from the circumference. I didn’t get quite even distances, but it doesn’t catch my eye.

  9. Do not forget to stuff the toy with sintepuh. Try to distribute the stuffing evenly and not too tightly so that the surface of the ball becomes convex, but not deformed.
  10. On the last stitches, we do not cut the thread, but bring it to the middle of the pimpochka (sorry, I don’t know what this thing is called) and make a suspension. We hide the extra tail from the inside.

Products made of felt are associated with the hearth and comfort. Exclusive felt toys can be made in the same style and skillfully used in the New Year's interior. The atmosphere of the New Year holidays will become truly family if younger family members are also involved in needlework.

The New Year is approaching at a rapid pace. The main character of the holiday is the Christmas tree. It does not matter whether it is alive or artificial, the process of decorating it is fraught with magic and comfort. Remember with what pleasure you created in childhood, with what pride you hung them on the Christmas tree on the eve of the holiday. If in childhood we all glued such crafts made of cardboard, colored paper and foil, now the choice of materials has become much richer. Very popular now Christmas toys made of felt, made by hand.

Christmas tree made of felt

For the New Year, the main character is the Christmas tree. Therefore, we are preparing in advance for its decoration. To make the Christmas tree original and elegant, you can make decorations with your own hands. In this master class from Anna, we will make a very beautiful, but simple toy for a Christmas tree made of felt in the form of a Christmas tree itself.

To make such a toy you will need:

  • Paper,
  • pencil,
  • green felt,
  • satin ribbon,
  • decorative braid, lace,
  • needle, thread,
  • scissors,
  • sintepon,
  • buttons,
  • hot glue.

First, take a piece of paper and a pencil. Draw a Christmas tree and cut it out. The size of the future toy depends on the size of the template.

Now we circle this template on a green sheet of felt using a felt-tip pen or a ballpoint pen. You can also use blue or blue material. Now you need to cut out the details from the felt, going over the lines with scissors. Then we repeat the action, since we need two identical parts.

At this stage, you need to put the two parts together. If a handle from the lines is visible on them, then this side must be placed inside the part.

We insert the thread into the needle and start sewing from the lower right edge. We sew with any convenient seam, in this case, the details are sewn with a buttonhole seam.

From below, we leave the side not sewn, but we do not cut the thread. Through this hole, fill the part with padding polyester and distribute it inside the Christmas tree. Now we sew to the end.

You don’t need to fill it too tightly, we just need to make the toy voluminous.

Now let's decorate our Christmas tree. To do this, you need to take a lace ribbon, a satin ribbon with small polka dots and a decorative braid. Color does not matter.

Sew lace on the bottom. You can just grab the sides. Next, apply a satin ribbon, placing it lightly on the lace. Glue it on the sides or sew it on. From above we sew or glue a braid on hot glue.

Sew a piece of lace on top of the upper tier of the Christmas tree. Then take three buttons of different colors with small polka dots.

Now take a not wide satin ribbon and attach it in the form of a loop on top. It can be sewn on or glued on.

From the same satin ribbon we will form a bow.

Glue it to the very top of the Christmas tree. You can also simply cut out a star from red felt and glue it on top of the Christmas tree.

This is how you can make a New Year's toy in the form of a Christmas tree out of felt very simply and quickly. You can make several such Christmas trees according to your pattern, and decorate them in different ways.

Christmas ball made of felt

Try to stitch Christmas ball for Christmas tree made of felt, beads and sequins. It will take its rightful place on the branch of your New Year's beauty. It can be given to relatives. And if your family has a baby, you can let him hang one on a branch. It's impossible to break it. Master class by Maria Nikitina .

To create such toy - Christmas ball made of fabric, you will need:

  • pink and burgundy felt
  • 24 cm silk ribbon 5 mm thick,
  • synthetic winterizer or filler for soft toys,
  • large bead with a diameter of 0.5-1 cm,
  • gold sew-on sequins (12 pcs.),
  • transparent beads of a golden hue (12 beads),
  • needle, burgundy sewing threads, scissors.

Print out the pattern for one balloon wedge.

Glue it on cardboard for greater density. Transfer the outline of the blank to the felt and cut out the wedges. You should have 4 pink and 4 burgundy details.

Put pink and burgundy wedges together. Sew along one edge with overlock stitching.

For greater strength of the seam, you can use a thread in two additions. Sew the remaining pairs in the same order. Now sew the resulting pairs to each other in such a way that you alternate between burgundy and pink sectors.

Leave one seam unsewn and turn the toy inside out.

Pull one end of the ribbon through the large bead. Fold the ends together and sew them together with a few stitches.

Turn the fabric inside out again. Insert the ribbon with the bead into the toy so that the beads are inside the finished toy.

Sew the felt around the bead with a few basting stitches and pull the thread as tightly as possible.

Now you need to sew sequins with beads. On pink sectors, sequins and beads should be located in the middle of the wedge. On burgundy - in the upper and lower parts of the sector. For strength, all decorative details must be sewn with one thread, without cutting it.

First, pull the thread from the wrong side to the front at the point where the sequin will be. Then put the sequin on the thread with the right side out, then the bead. Pass the thread through the same sequin again and through the felt. For reliability, you can make two stitches for one pair of sequined beads. Then, without tearing off the thread, sew the remaining decorative elements.

Now sew the remaining opening of the toy. When about 3 centimeters remain until the end of the seam, turn the toy right side out and stuff it with padding polyester.

Sew up the remaining opening with a blind stitch.

The fabric ball is ready, you can hang it on the Christmas tree!

horse

In this master class, together with Anna, we will make a wonderful toy in the form of a felt horse.

To make a toy you will need:

  • Felt blue and blue;
  • Needle;
  • Scissors;
  • Sintepon;
  • Paper;
  • Pencil;
  • A thread;
  • Hot glue;
  • Satin tape;
  • Accessories.

First we have to draw a template on a piece of paper. The size of the future toy depends on the size of the template.

We draw the body, legs and head of the horse together in one piece. We draw a tail and a mane. Separately, we will draw decorations for the horse.

Now let's cut each piece separately.

We circle the main part on blue felt with a pen or felt-tip pen. The part is cut out in two copies. Cut out the mane and tail from blue felt in a single copy. We will also cut out the decoration for the neck, and also cut out the decoration for the legs. For such a toy, you can use any colors, the main thing is that they combine with each other and harmonize well with other Christmas tree decorations.

We add two parts of the body. We begin to sew them from the bottom of the back leg. Sew the legs up and insert the tail between the two parts. We continue to sew. So we sewed the tail. Let's move on to sewing the back.

We sew to the neck and place a mane between the two parts of the body. Next, we continue to sew, while we will sew a mane. Then we sew the part to the end, while filling the part with padding polyester, but not too tightly.

We sewed the main part. It remains to decorate the horse. Let's prepare decorations for the toy. You can make them any other, or you can not do it at all.

Glue decorative elements with hot glue. You can not glue them, but also sew them on.

Now let's take small rhinestones and fitting flowers. Glue the strassein in the center of the blue felt flower. And glue the flower itself next to the tail. Glue another rhinestone in place of the eye. Instead of rhinestones, you can use small beads or beads.

From a satin not wide ribbon we will make a loop and glue it behind the horse. On this loop, the toy will be hung on the Christmas tree. You can simply make a loop of thread if there is no ribbon.

Christmas tree toy in the form of a felt horse is ready! She will be a great decoration for the New Year's beauty.

gnome

New Year's gnomes make the interior more festive and cozier. In this master class, we will sew a beautiful and kind gnome from felt. Such a gnome is sewn quickly and consists of only two parts: a body and a hat.

To sew a gnome we need:

  • Felt red, peach and gray;
  • Threads;
  • Needle;
  • Sintepon;
  • White yarn;
  • Scissors;
  • Paper;
  • Pencil or pen.

We first draw a pattern of the future gnome on a piece of paper. It can be increased. Then the toy will be big. Cut out the drawn parts from paper.

We transfer the details to the felt. Since a simple pencil on the felt is not visible, you can translate the details with a pen. Or you can simply attach them to the felt and cut along the contour. For the gnome, you can use any color of felt. In this master class, the gnome will be gray-red.

Cut out the body of the gnome and the bottom from the gray felt.

And cut out the rest of the red felt. This is a hat.

On the lower part of the body of the gnome we will embroider snowflakes, since the gnome is New Year's.

We sew the gnome's body, leaving the bottom unsewn. Stitches should be done at approximately the same distance.

We fill the part with synthetic winterizer and apply the bottom. We sew it on and cut off the thread, making a knot.

Now we will make a beard from white yarn. We will cut the yarn about 5 cm long. And in the middle we will lay a thread. That is, as if hanging yarn on a thread. Lightly pull and tie a knot. With the same thread we sew a beard to the upper body of the gnome. Trim the beard with scissors. Its length should reach the end of the body.

Cut out a circle of peach-colored felt with a diameter of about one and a half centimeters.

We sew it along the edge.

And we will pull it off, stuffing it with synthetic winterizer. So we sewed the nose. Let's move the yarn-beard in the middle and sew the spout to this place.

It remains to sew a hat. It stitches very easily. But first we will decorate it a little.

We also embroider a snowflake in the middle. So the hat will be in perfect harmony with the clothes of the gnome.

And now on top and where the strings are, cut a little, as if making a fringe. Enough to make two cuts.

Fold the piece in half and sew the hat at the back.

Felt crafts are soft and pleasant to the touch, this material is easy and interesting to work with. Details can be sewn on a typewriter, by hand or glued.

Before starting work, prepare:

  • patches of multi-colored felt;
  • material that will be used as a filler;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • sequins;
  • beads;
  • a needle;
  • threads;
  • cardboard;
  • narrow ribbons for loops.

To make such cute New Year's toys, you will need to prepare patterns from paper or cardboard, outline the details on them, cut them out and carefully sew them, as in the photo.

As a filler, you can use unnecessary flaps of fabric or foam rubber. Do not forget to sew loops of narrow ribbons to the toys so that they can be easily hooked.

The bear is sewn, as in the previous version - according to the pattern. Knit a scarf for him separately with a crochet or knitting needles. Embroider a muzzle with threads and sew sequins on the back that will resemble snowflakes.

Toys in the form of New Year's sweets are real cuties! Please note that in this case, the decoration elements are not sewn on, but glued.

To sew an asterisk out of felt, cut out an even number of identical parts, sew them in pairs with a hem seam (photo above), leaving one edge. Fill with filler and sew up completely. Decorate Christmas toys with beads.

To make such beautiful hearts with your own hands, you will need to work hard. First, make a blank from cardboard in the form of hearts and separately in the form of drawings that will decorate them. Take sharp scissors, cut out hearts and an ornament (they should be in contrasting colors). Gently sew on a typewriter or glue an ornament to hearts, sew a loop.

You can also make crafts without volume and without filler, as in the photo. In this case, the two layers of material can simply be glued or sewn together.

A master class on making a bell is clear even to a child. A toy is made from several layers of felt, cut into strips of 1 cm, the cut is not made completely, a strip of fabric should remain on top, which is attached to a loop-lace. Such a simple craft will do.


The technique for making mittens is similar to making hearts, smaller details are fixed on the main canvas, it looks like a collage.

You will have to work hard with the cones. Cut out some flowers from brown and pistachio flowers. They should go like a pyramid, i.e. cut different sizes: bigger and smaller. String "flowers" on the thread with a pyramid, alternating colors. Make ponytails out of brown felt.

It is made by the method of application from a single layer of material.

It is made according to the same principle as toys-sweets.

These were the basic principles of work. And fantasy and photos will prompt new ideas, by embodying which you can boast of the most elegant Christmas tree and exclusive Christmas toys made of felt.







Balloons from the most distant childhood seem to us something mysterious, magical and alluring. In this article, we invite you to immerse yourself in the very atmosphere of childhood, build balloons with your own hands, dream about beautiful things and just have fun.

Balloons come in different types: flying, rubber, with helium, various crafts. In many adventure films we have seen people travel in hot air balloons. Nowadays, it has become an amazing attraction for the whole family. It is impossible to make such transport for flights on your own, but it is a great idea for a children's launch into the sky.

Mastery Fundamentals

First of all, you need to know the components. It consists of a dome made of durable material, a basket and a burner.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a launch ball with a diameter of 2 meters. So let's get started:

  • First, prepare a template according to the diagram. Make a pattern on it on cardboard;
  • the segments themselves are made of paper, preferably cigarette paper, if it does not fit the given size, it can be glued together, this will not affect the quality of the idea;
  • after gluing the segments, cut out the cardboard blanks, the template is ready;
  • attach the sample to tissue paper and cut out 16 parts from it. Do not forget to leave one centimeter, taking into account further gluing;
  • glue the finished segments in two, then connect all the pairs together, but leave one seam;
  • turn the shell inside out and seal the last seam;
  • cut two rectangular strips from cardboard and use it to fasten the base. Then, attach two strong thick threads to them, which will allow you to hold the ball when it is heated;
  • cut the circle to the size of the dome and glue on top to fill in the gaps that were left during gluing;
  • heat the blowtorch and use it to spread the ball;
  • take the finished dome by the strings and make a fire under it.

When the air warms up in the balloon, it is ready to launch.

Air Smeshariki

Such cute balls are suitable for decorating children's parties, birthday celebrations.


And we'll be happy to show you how to create them.

To do this, we need multi-colored balls (round), balls of the smallest diameter, modeling balls, double-sided tape and markers, depending on the intended character.

Take a big round balloon and inflate it. With the help of small ones, make legs and arms, attach with double-sided tape. Model ears or a headdress with the help of modeled balls and draw with a marker: eyes, nose, mouth. In order for our Smesharik to look like a cartoon exhibit, it would be better if you keep a photo of the selected hero in front of you.

lamp ball

Surely everyone in the house burns out light bulbs very often, after which we mercilessly throw them away. What if we try to give them a second life? Let's make our ball of light bulbs.

So, let's begin.

Prepare an old light bulb, glass outline, twine (or thick thread), gouache. Degrease the light bulb in advance with alcohol.

Draw the picture you like on the bulb with a contour, and fill the empty spaces with gouache. Gently wrap the base of the light bulb with twine (this will be a craft with a basket in the form of a balloon). On the narrow shape of the light bulb, draw lines imitating the ropes that connect the basket to the ball. The advantage of this craft is that you can decorate it in a variety of ways: make a strapping, glue it with a cloth, and even cover the light bulb with stained glass paints.

Cheerful Luntik

It's no secret how kids love to watch a cartoon about Luntik.

  • next, take a large ball and attach it to the base with tape;
  • then, we need to make a neck out of balloons for modeling. Fold as shown in the picture and attach to the torso;

  • inflate a 45 cm balloon, slightly smaller than the body, draw a muzzle on it with a marker and glue it to the neck;
  • use the smallest balls to make handles;
  • it remains to make only the ears, they are made very simply. From the modeling balls, make eights in pairs and attach to the head.
