In recent years, many of us have givenpreference for self-made Christmas tree decorations. This is especially true in families where there are small children who can accidentally get injured by glass balls. Therefore, young parents, and simply creative people prefer to make New Year toys of cloth with their own hands, patterns for which can be cut out of felt, felt or any other suitable material.
All the existing fabric Christmas toys can be divided into three types:
To sew flat New Year toys made of fabricwith their own hands, it will take quite a bit of time and, of course, patience. First of all, you should draw a sketch of the future decoration. Its dimensions should correspond to the size of the original. After that, the outlines of each part are transferred to felt or any other dense material. In the case of a thick soft fabric like fleece or corduroy inside, it is recommended to insert a cardboard blank. This will give the toy the necessary rigidity. The cut out fabric details are neatly sewn together - and the decoration is ready.
If between parts instead of cardboard putcotton, sintepon or other soft filler, then a more bulky and rounded product will be obtained. To New Year toys made of fabric, made with their own hands, have acquired a finished and aesthetic appearance, they can be decorated with buttons or figured braids. Embroidered fir-tree decorations can be decorated with sequins, embroidery or beads.
Many European needlewomen make Christmastoys made of cloth with their own hands. To do this, they often use fleece. A good alternative to this material can be dense coat or felt fabrics. To create original Christmas decorations, you can even use flax. But in this case, you will have to spend a little more time and effort. Fleece toys are usually decorated with all sorts of beads, original buttons and appliqués.
Such New Year toys made of cloth by theirhands (photo can be seen above) in no way inferior to store analogues. To make a decorative fabric tree yourself, you must stock up with small red beads, paper, glue, pen, round plate, cardboard, needle and thread. In addition, we need a lacy and cotton cloth of white and green hue.
First of all, it is necessary to make a cone, whichwill set the shape of the future toy. For this we need a regular round plate. Putting it on the cardboard, you need to circle the outline. The resulting circle should be carefully cut with scissors and divided into four parts. Then a cone is twisted from this workpiece, for bonding which you can use glue or a stapler. Exactly the same workpiece is made from green cotton cloth. Sew it right on the cone of cardboard. To decorate the Christmas tree, we need a white lace fabric. It is glued in the form of a not too dense spiral so that a green base can be seen from under it. In the resulting gaps, you can paste the red beads.
In order to sew such a Christmas decoration,preferably in advance to stock up the golden braid, as well as a cloth of green, red and yellow. At the initial stage, a pattern is made of yellow material with your own hands. It must be cut in two copies. Then, on the front side, a small piece of red material should be sewn. After that, you must carefully sew the two patterns together. At the top of the future pear, you need to sew a green bookmark, imitating a leaf. The fringing can be decorated with gold braid.
In recent years, it has become fashionable to hang on a Christmas treeNew Year toys made of fabric, made by themselves and sustained in one color. So, often you can see a forest beauty, decorated with red beads and balls, silver stars or gold toys. In order to make many single-color ornaments, it is necessary to purchase a large amount of suitable material.
