Felt toys and advantages

Yes, yes, we already hear: “Oh, sewing is not for me,” “This kind of needlework is only for experienced seamstresses,” or generally, “My hands grow from the wrong place.” We assure you that sewing toys is not difficult at all. And even the most novice craftswoman can cope with the task.

Among the advantages Christmas decorations made from felt with your own hands is their colorfulness, uniqueness, ease of manufacture, and the ability to make jewelry of any complexity. Handmade always appreciated. It is also worth mentioning the soul and warmth that you put into each product. Plus, it's a wonderful holiday gift. This is also an opportunity to keep children occupied for a long time. They will be very interested in cutting out fragments and gluing them under your guidance.

Rules for working with felt

Felt is a compressed material. It is usually produced in sheet or roll form. In appearance and to the touch it is somewhat reminiscent of felt, only not so rough, because the raw material for its production is taken from undercoat or delicate fluff. Felt can also be made from synthetic and semi-synthetic materials. It is best to make New Year's tree decorations from felt. The material has different sheet thicknesses, so you can choose the one you need for a particular product. The edges do not require processing, and the huge color spectrum allows you to create the most beautiful toys.

  1. For work, felt sheets with a thickness of about 1-1.5 mm are used. Only with such thickness will the toy be elegant.
  2. For this, give preference to felt with the addition of viscose or acrylic.
  3. The needle must be sharp. This will make it easier to pierce the flaps.
  4. Small parts can be glued together using PVA. But at the same time, control the amount of glue squeezed out so that it does not leak through the fabric.
  5. You can also use a heat gun.
  6. If you plan to make three-dimensional figures, do not forget about the filler - padding polyester or holofiber.
  7. To transfer the design to the fabric, you can use chalk, a self-disappearing marker or a gel pen.

It is not recommended to use cotton wool or batting as a filler, because such material, protruding through the seams, makes the toy untidy.

Knowing all the nuances of working with the material, you can start working. Let's look at how to sew Christmas tree decorations from felt with your own hands using frequently used patterns.

Props for creativity

To make New Year's decorations you will need:

  • felt scraps;
  • scissors;
  • floss threads with which you will connect elements or decorate them with stitches;
  • PVA glue.
  • heat gun;
  • filler;
  • various decor, such as braid, lace, beads, beads, rhinestones, sequins, buttons and other small items;
  • You can use wooden die-cuts on which the cut out figures will be glued.

Christmas decorations

As a rule, felt Christmas tree decorations are made of two types: simple, flat and voluminous. In the first option, you should simply cut out felt figures along the contour of the pattern and decorate them. In the second case, the base is cut out in two copies, and then the pieces are decorated and stitched together.
The figurine is stuffed with filler such as padding polyester or holofiber. Both variations of the sewing method are interesting and unique.

You can choose any figure you like as a pattern.

For example, from such simple patterns of felt Christmas tree decorations you can get something like this. Very simple, elegant and does not take much time.
