Denim crafts for children

Unsuitable for wearing denim pants can be used to create decorative pillows, soft toys, photo frames, warmers or, in particular, a pretty and original cover for the phone. To make it, cut out a cut of cloth from the old jeans, fit in size, and sew a small "bag" from it, making the seams from the wrong side on the sewing machine or manually.

Crafts of cloth scraps
The technique of making crafts from scraps of cloth, or patchwork, has a long history. Today this kind of needlework is not only fond of young children, but also many adult women. Patchwork allows you to create completely incredible panels, decorative pillows, blankets, toys, as well as such small items as potholders or beds.
In particular, from the remains of the fabric, you can easily make almost any toy. Choose the model you like and make a pattern out of the paper. If you have basic sewing and sewing skills, you can do this yourself, but if you do not have the necessary skills, you can use a lot of patterns presented on the Internet.
Using a chalk, transfer the pattern to pieces of fabric and carefully cut out the necessary details.

After that, stuff the toy with a sintepon, close the holes, sew the eyes, the nose, the mouth and decorate the craft to your own taste.

How can you make a craft from a fabric with your own hands?
For the youngest children, a hand-crafted piece of cloth in the form of a sun, which you can easily make by yourself, is perfect. To make it, cut out a large enough circle of cardboard, and on top of it lay out the same size piece of sintepon.
From the yellow fabric, cut out a circle of a larger diameter and, attaching it to the previously made parts, gather and tie the seam over the edge. If desired, the cloth element can be fixed with an adhesive gun.
Then from this same fabric, cut out a rectangle with a width of 3.5-4 cm. The length of this part should exceed the circumference by 2-2.5 cm. In length, gently pull a few threads out of the rectangle so that the fringe turns out, and glue this part all over the length of the circle. Of course, if you fantasize, you can make rays from other materials.
Working with cloth is very important for children in primary school, and the creation of crafts from this material is its main element. Be sure to encourage your child to do something with his own hands and help him come up with new ideas.
