Christmas tree toy Felt Christmas tree – 5 step-by-step instructions + diagrams

A live or artificial forest beauty appears in every home on New Year's Eve. It is customary to hang not only balls on it, but also animal figures and small Christmas trees made of felt. Such souvenirs will be a wonderful gift for family and friends.

The easiest way to make jewelry is to cut out a flat piece, which is then decorated with beads, seed beads, and sparkles. An applique is often made from pieces of green felt on a contrasting background, decorating such a Christmas tree with sequins.

You can make a three-dimensional Christmas tree from felt squares or circles, which will be an excellent decoration for a forest guest. They need to be strung on a thread in a chaotic order, then you will get a three-dimensional figurine that is hung on a New Year's tree or on a window.

And here is a Christmas tree made from felt circles using the same principle.

People who know how to handle a thread, a needle and a sewing machine are recommended to sew a Christmas tree from felt, filling it with padding polyester or cotton wool.

Boots and felt boots made of felt - do-it-yourself patterns for New Year's toys made of felt

Felt fabric is a fairly warm and cozy material, so it is great for making toys in the form of felt boots and felt boots. Such New Year's decor is hung on a Christmas tree, decorated at home, or used as a bag where gifts for relatives are placed.

Before manufacturing, you need to select a felt boot template, redraw it onto the material and carefully cut it out. If a three-dimensional figure is not planned, then decorative elements must be applied to it, including snowflakes, artificial snow, snowmen with handles, and deer. They must be sewn to boots or felt boots with threads or glued with a glue gun.

It's easy to make boots where children and adults will hide gifts for their loved ones. You will need two blanks, made according to the pattern and which are sewn with threads from the wrong side. After the craft is turned inside out, then a loop of ribbon or twine is attached to it. The edges are edged with silver or gold thread. The boot is decorated with embroidery in the shape of snowflakes or appliques of fairy-tale characters. The figures are hung on the Christmas tree, on the window, or above the front door.

How to make a pig from DVDs and felt - Second option

We have already said that you can make any animals from disks. Especially if these animals resemble a circle in shape. And what animals are round, pot-bellied and have no waist? Yes, of course, these are pigs and hippos! Today, I propose that together with us, we will make a funny pig, the symbol of 2021, from DVDs and felt.

For this craft we will prepare the following materials and tools:

Disk
Felt pink and red
Paper and pencils
Ribbons
Glue and scissors.

First we need to close the hole in the disk. To do this, cut out a large circle from the pink wind: it will close the hole and at the same time become a muzzle for the piggy. We will also cut out two identical circles for the ears and a small oval patch, outline it with a pencil or felt-tip pen and decorate it with sequins.

We also need legs with hooves - these are rectangles with a sector cut out and the edge tinted. We sequentially attach all this to the disk using ordinary pencil glue. Moreover, we give the ears a shape like this: we combine the two edges and glue them to the head from the inside out.

We will make the eyes for the piggy out of paper. Just cut out two small circles, outline them with a black pencil and draw the pupils. Glue it over the patch. Let's also cut out a mouth from a small piece of red felt. We attach it to the side.

To make the piggy look elegant, we will make two bright bows for it. From grosgrain (any) ribbon, tie two bows.

You need to fasten a loop on the back side, then the pig can be hung on a wall or on a Christmas tree. Secure with tape.

Glue the finished bows near the ears. You can use hot glue, or instant glue, or you can use pencil glue again, just press it harder.

Such a mischievous pig, the symbol of the year 2021 made of disks and felt, is in a hurry for the holiday!

What kind of pig will you get?

Making voluminous snowflakes takes more time and requires children and parents to have sewing and appliqué skills, so for the first time or when there is no time, flat snowflakes are made. Decorative elements are then placed on them.

Sample

To the finished products you need to sew a loop of braid or twine to hang the snowflake on the Christmas tree.

A snowflake can be made not only from patterns. Here, for example, is a snowflake made from felt strips. A great option for those who don’t like to sew, but really want to make a felt snowflake.

Festive New Year's applications by the hands of a child

Bright pictures neatly framed will create a joyful mood in anticipation of the holiday. Applications imitating Grandfather Frost and his granddaughter Snow Maiden, as well as Christmas trees and snowmen, are a good gift option for a loved one and interior decoration. The article offers photos with examples of applications, as well as instructions for their implementation.

It is recommended that children create simple crafts in kindergarten and at home. Such needlework is a means for developing fine motor skills, developing horizons and creative abilities.

Invite your child to decorate the Christmas tree with colored paper items. He must independently make bright paper parts of various geometric shapes and decorate the Christmas tree with their help.

For older children, Christmas tree decorations such as mother-of-pearl buttons, beads, and self-cut shapes of objects and animals are suitable. Invite the little ones to draw templates of children's hands and cut them out of colored paper.

5. We make a loop from a narrow ribbon and fasten it on the wrong side.

6. Select a Santa Claus cap from the holiday set. Also, it can be quickly made from red and white paper (cardboard) or felt. To do this, just cut out the red cap and the white fur edge. Glue the cap onto the piglet's head.

Craft “Santa Claus's Mitten” for the competition: ideas, photos

We suggest you do some crafts with your children - make Santa Claus mittens or just mittens to decorate the New Year tree.
Why mittens? Because this is the most indispensable winter accessory: we don’t even go outside in extreme cold without it. For us, warm mittens are a symbol of Christmas.
Abroad, such a symbol is considered to be socks hanging by the fireplace, in which gifts from Santa Claus are usually found in the morning.
Beautiful holiday mittens can be sewn from felt or fabric (for example, a sweater), and if you are interested in such an activity, you can make a card with a mitten, applique or other interesting things. Join us!

How to make a postcard: mitten

Nowadays you can find a wide variety of New Year-themed cards in stores. But if you want to surprise your family, then give them a truly memorable gift - put a little creativity and your own soul into colored cardboard, which will serve as the basis for your craft, and turn it into an interesting holiday card.
You can cut the mitten itself from fabric or scrap paper with a New Year's print, and puffs or beads will serve as decoration for the mitten.

DIY postcard “Mitten”

A postcard with a hiding place is two halves of a mitten glued together, cut out of cardboard or felt. A hole is left between the parts where the “elastic band” attaches to the wrist. Inside such a craft you can hide a small souvenir, a gift that never loses its relevance - a banknote, or another gift - a ticket to a movie, theater, or circus.

Volumetric toy

To make a three-dimensional toy you need:

felt in blue, white, beige, yellow colors;
filler;
blue grosgrain ribbon with white polka dots;
narrow satin ribbon for hanging;
beads, sequins for decoration;
threads, sewing tools.

Description

The pattern for making the Snow Maiden from felt needs to be redrawn to scale and cut out.

From blue felt we cut out parts of the body and hat in duplicate.

To finish the outfit, we still need to prepare several diamonds from white felt, details of the cuffs, collar and cap lapel.

To make the face, cut out one piece from beige felt.

Cut out two braids from yellow felt.

Sew the head to one part of the body using small stitches.

Using white threads we will sew the parts of the collar below the face.

Decorate the bottom and middle part of the coat with diamonds.

We sew the parts of the toy's body using a blanket stitch. In this case, we will leave an open area on one side. Through it we will fill the toy with filler. First we compact the head and arms, then the torso.

We sew up the left area with blue threads. We sew strips onto the handles - cuffs made of white felt.

We decorate the doll's clothes with sequins and beads, sewing them in the center between the rhombuses.

Attach the braids with a few stitches.

Sew down the details of the cap along the top edge.

Sew a strip of white felt along the bottom edge. We decorate it with sequins or beads.

We put on the hat and sew it on with several small stitches.

We embroider the eyes with black threads, the mouth with pink threads.

Cut a piece 19 cm long from the grosgrain ribbon and tie it in the form of a scarf. We burn the sections of the tape so that they do not fray.

For the loop, cut a piece of narrow ribbon 29 cm long, fold it in half and sew it to the back of the hat.

"The Snowman Goes to the Masquerade"

My name is Olga Shevtsova, I am from the city of Kramatorsk. For the “Year of Creative Fleece” competition, I want to show you the work of my youngest son Dima (he is 3.5 years old) in the “Learning to be a Wizard” category. This is a New Year's card "The Snowman Goes to the Masquerade Party" .

Materials: • sheet of colored cardboard, • small blanks, • PVA glue.

The work was done using applique technique. So that the child can master most of it on his own.

We take a sheet of blue cardboard, and mom cuts out a white snowman.

Then, using curly scissors, we make a postcard from a simple sheet. It just makes beautiful edges.

Our snowman put on a mask - Mickey Mouse ears.

Mom helped with the eyes and mouth, as well as the carrot nose.

It's winter now, so you need to dress warmly. Let's make a scarf and buttons from a yellow napkin.

And there is also snow. From semolina. Like this:

When it dried, we shook off the cereal and this is what we got:
