Santa Claus from felt

Continuing the theme of New Year's crafts , we will begin to make Santa Claus out of felt. This material is very convenient for crafts, because it does not crumble around the edges, it is perfect for both bulk and flat dolls. Today we will learn how to sew both of these options.

Flat Father Frost - master class number 1

For this toy we will need:

Progress:

  1. We start with the fact that we draw on felt and we cut out 2 details of the head and trunk. They at us make a single whole. Also we need to cut out white and red felt elements of the cap, mustache and nose. From pink or flesh felt by means of a coin (we put it to a fabric and we circle on a contour) we cut out the face.
  2. Carefully add up all the elements: put the face on the head, then - 2 elements of the cap, and fasten everything with pins.
  3. Separately we sew a nose and a mustache. To do this, we process the edge of the mustache with a suture seam, gently sew a nose to them, which is a small circle of white felt. Ready-made nose with a mustache glued to the face of the future Santa Claus.
  4. Draw the pen with the eye and mouth, from the tiny pieces of white felt cut out his eyebrows and paste over his eyes.
  5. Sew all the details together with a beautiful wrapping seam, leaving a small gap at the bottom of the trunk in order to slightly fill it with fluff or cotton.
  6. After the cotton wool was inside, sew the edge completely. We proceed to decorating: on the circumference of the body we sew a green ribbon.
  7. On the sides to the top of the trunk attach mittens, also from felt, only from the blue. Separately, we sew a green Christmas tree, decorate it with bows and beads, stuff it with synthetic fibers or cotton wool and glue it on the tummy. It turns out very nice and kind Santa Claus from felt, which you can decorate the Christmas tree. To make it you will not spend much time, money and effort.

Volumetric Father Frost from felt - master class

This Santa Claus doll, sewn by hand, is performed in the popular Tilde style. She looks very touching, as, indeed, and any other tilde doll.

We sew such a Santa Claus with our own hands from any dense fabric, making him a felt out of felt. However, it is quite possible to sew it completely from felt fabric. The main thing - to pick up a few different shades for pants and a sheepskin coat.

The pattern of this Santa Claus with his own hands is as follows:

Performance:

  1. We transfer it to the fabric. Pre-fold the material in half, because each part we need 2 copies.
  2. We cut out trousers and a trunk separately, we cut out them, we puncture with pins. After - we sew first and foremost the details of the top and bottom, leaving the place of their connection open. Then - add on the marks A and B and gently sew the pants with the trunk, leaving a small gap on the stomach for eversion and stuffing. On the back, everything is completely sewn up.
  3. Cut all the excess allowances, make small cuts on the remaining allowances, so that the finished product is not collected. Now turn it face down through the hole on the abdomen. Densely stuffed Santa Claus, helping with a pencil or a stick, so that nowhere there is no emptiness.
  4. Sew the hole on the abdomen with a neat secret seam.
  5. Now we sew a sheepskin coat. To do this, from the felt of red or any other color, we cut out two parts, sew them and turn them out. We decorate with white felt and stitches.
  6. We dress Grandfather Frost. Hair for him is made of knitting threads of light shade. Draw the face with felt-tip pens, and draw the shoes with black acrylic paint. This is how he now looks in front and behind.
  7. Do not forget about the hat - it's very easy to sew it. We put it on the head and, if desired, we fix it with a few stitches. Our cheerful and thick-skinned Santa Claus is ready to wear it!
