If you are a fan of Tilda, then definitely see the overview with patterns and tips for sewing primitive dolls

1. Preparing the pattern. First, we determine the diameter of the bottom of the cone and its desired height and, based on this, build a scan in any convenient way. Calculation formulas and construction methods are easy to find on the Internet. We draw a pattern of hands arbitrarily.

Santa Claus pattern

2. Cut a circle out of thick cardboard, draw a line through its center, which we divide into three equal segments. At their joints we cut holes for the wire. We apply a padding polyester circle and a circle made of colored fabric of a slightly larger diameter. We tighten the fabric around the cardboard.

3. We bend the thick wire in a U-shape, pierce it through the holes in the cardboard, synthetic winterizer and fabric. We bend the ends of the wire at the “ankles” and make “feet”. We fasten a thin one to the jumper copper wire longer than the height of the cone, by about 10 centimeters.

4. Important! We carefully glue the wire with hot melt glue to the cardboard and glue the wire joint. At this stage, the structure must be well balanced and stable, the cardboard must not fall down the wire!

Feet for Santa Claus

5. Cut out two rectangles from colored fabric, about one and a half times the length of the legs and about 4 centimeters wide. Fold it in half lengthwise, stitch it, turn it out. We pull on the legs and sew to the bottom with a blind seam.

6. Cut out the sweep of the cone from the cotton fabric for the body. Fold in half and sew along the edge, leaving the last couple of millimeters unstitched at the top. Bend the edge in a circle, outline it. We turn the resulting cone out of the fabric.

The torso of Santa Claus

7. We put the cone on the thin wire, bringing its free end through the hole at the top. We fill the body with holofiber. Make sure that the wire remains approximately in the center of the cone during packing. Sew the folded edge of the body along the circumference to the bottom with a secret seam.

8. Cut out the soles from the cardboard. Draw them randomly, the main thing is that it is slightly longer at the back and front than the wire loops. We glue the soles to the wire with hot melt glue, making sure they are stable.

9. Cut out with scissors and stationery knife"Boots" made of foam rubber. Cut out a recess for the wire from below and cut a slit in the back in order to insert the "ankles" into it. It is not neatness that is more important here, but the symmetry of the "boots". We glue the foam rubber with hot melt glue.

10. Cut out two ovals from the red fleece of such a size that it would be enough to cover the foam rubber “boots” with a small margin. At one of the elongated vertices of the oval, cut out a sector in the form of a triangle, put the fleece on the foam rubber, sew up the backdrop with a blind seam and tighten the fleece around the cardboard sole.

11. From felt suitable color We also cut out two ovals slightly larger than the cardboard sole. Glue the felt to the sole with hot melt glue, cut off the excess, hem the felt to the fleece with a blind seam.

Fleece boots for Santa Claus

12. We mark on the body the approximate lines of the top of the jacket and the bottom of the cap. There will be a face between them. Cut out a small circle from the fabric, put a synthetic winterizer ball inside, tighten it along the edge. It turns out a nose that needs to be sewn onto the face with a blind stitch.

13. Priming the face with white acrylic paint... We try not to go too far into the territory of future beards and hair, so that in the future there will be no difficulties with rolling them. Which face to draw is a matter of your taste and imagination.

How to draw a face to Santa Claus

14. We cut out a jacket in the form of a truncated cone from red fleece, fold it in half, sew along the edge, turn it out. From fleece and colored fabric we sew handles in mittens, leaving holes for stuffing, turn it out, fill it, sew the holes with a blind seam.

15. Pull the jacket over the body, sew on the bottom and along the neckline with a secret seam. Temporarily pin the handles in order to evenly distribute the applique. We cut out the details from felt, pin them to the body, finally think over the location of the composition.

16. First, fix the details of the applique on the fleece with a drop of Moment glue so that they do not move, and only then sew. On request, we use buttons, beads, beads, decorative elements. Sew on the white fleece "snowdrift" tapes with blind seams.

Fur coat for Santa Claus

17. Cut out the cuffs of the boots and cuffs from white fleece, fold in half, sew along the edge. We pull on handles and legs, sew by hand.

18. We cut out the collar according to the same principle. The edges of the collar, cuffs, boot cuffs, and cap can be wavy to maintain a snow-like look.

19. Sew the handles to the body with a strong thread using a button fastening. We tighten the thread a little, tie a knot and glue it for strength with Moment glue.

20. From the combed ribbon we tear off about 10 centimeters of wool, collect it in a bun of the required thickness and carefully roll it with a felting needle, like a beard. Then we tear off a bunch of wool 2 times thinner and about 20 centimeters long, roll it in the middle under the nose, like a mustache.

21. Tear off two more bundles of wool, equal in length and density to the beard, roll them on both sides of the face. Back side We carefully comb the felting needles and put the wool into a thick beard.

Beard and mustache for Santa Claus

22. We also roll and shape the hairstyle on the sides and on the back of the head. If necessary, you can trim a little with scissors and sprinkle with regular hairspray to prevent fluff.

Hair for Santa Claus

23. On the basis of half of the cone, we cut out a cap that is strongly elongated and narrowed towards the top out of colored fabric. The height of the cap should correspond to the length of the free end of the wire plus 1-2 centimeters for freedom of bends. Sew the details, leaving the top open.

Cap for Santa Claus

24. We turn out the cap, put it on the head, bringing the wire through the upper hole, sew it along the edge to the head. Bend the end of the wire with a loop. Sew on a white fleece lapel and a pompom, hiding the end of the wire in it.

24. Santa Claus is almost ready. If necessary, add some decor to complete the look. If you want, you can additionally sew a bag with gifts, a Christmas tree or, for example, a symbol of the year in a pair.

Santa Claus is ready! More real miracles for you!

3. We put cotton ribbons on the front and back to get the robe .. At the head we fasten with sewing threads. Cut off the excess cotton wool from below according to the growth of Santa Claus. In front of the robe, from the neck to the bottom, we attach another cotton strip, but narrower. And at the bottom of the robe on the hem of the glory to the right we put a cotton strip.

If she new year- means with a print inherent in this holiday (that is, a drawing, photograph or inscription). In this article, we will look at how you can arrange New Year's. We will not analyze textiles, let everyone decide for themselves which fabric for the pillow to choose. It is clear that it is not difficult to sew with your own hands, but you can buy it. Of course, before buying a fabric or a ready-made pillow, you need to understand what you like more, inspire and cheer you up from the New Year theme.

So, everyone knows that the New Year is:

• The car that carries the tree
• Christmas decorations
• Santa Claus (or Santa Claus, who likes who)
• Snowmen
• Snowflakes
• New year wreath
• Deer
• Winter birds
• Christmas flower poinsettia
• Winter clothes
• Winter pictures
• Everything, everything, everything ...

So let's start in order. Christmas tree pillows perhaps one of simple options registration of a New Year's pillow. Look at the photo below: even a child can do this kind of embroidery!

This video shows how you can embroider a tree with several shades of green floss.

The next option for embroidering a New Year's pillow cannot be called simple. But, if you know how to embroider and have patience, then in some time you can prepare such a beautiful pillowcase for the New Year's pillow.

When decorating for the New Year, it is very popular applique. This is because the shape of the trees makes it easy to cut and sew this pattern to the main background.

Moreover, the tree can be in the form of an ordinary spruce, which we used to draw in our drawings from childhood, or it can consist of one or more isosceles triangles.

Imagine and, perhaps, your tree will be even more unusual than in the photo below.

The main background of the pillow can be anything, choose according to your mood. But keep in mind that on a white background, any applique looks much brighter.

You can definitely be sure that a handmade pillow will be a completely original piece if you used your own ideas for appliqué.

A pillow with a Christmas tree made of buttons is also an interesting solution!

For such a pillow, you will need two types of fabric, one of them is a fabric panel with an image Christmas tree... You can look in stores for ready-made pillows with this New Year's symbol.

Postcard pillow will good gift close people.

The original execution of the Christmas tree is in the form, you can also try to do it yourself.

Here's another way to decorate your pillow:

• you need to take mugs, neatly cut from soft tissue(by the way, not necessarily green)
• fold them in half
• take 3-4 circles in one hand, and in the other hand take a sewing needle and thread and sew the folded circles together with one or two stitches. The seam must be strong enough.
• quite a lot of such blanks need to be done
• with a fabric marker (or simple chalk) on the future pillowcase, draw a Christmas tree
• according to the resulting image, sew on blanks from circles until you see that you have a tree

This pillow is not only beautiful, but also soft and comfortable!

If you don't have time to make pillows or just don't like homemade products, buy a factory-made pillow with a New Year theme in the store.

If you try, you will also find high-quality and originally designed pillows with New Year's pictures in stores.

Of course, no one would argue that a Christmas tree on a New Year's pillow is the most common option. If you want the decoration on your pillow to be unusual, but typical for the winter holiday, make an applique where "The car is bringing the tree from the forest" .

There are versions of this application that are difficult to perform, but there are also simpler ones.

If you can't make a pillow with your own hands, there is always the opportunity to buy it in the store. (You just need to know exactly what you want!)

You can also decorate the pillows "Christmas decorations". And, imagine, it's not difficult at all using the same application method. Cut out circles of different sizes, "carrots", ovals and whatever else you come up with from the remains of different fabrics (which are at home). Sew or glue the resulting blanks with fabric glue on the fabric from which you are going to sew the pillowcase for the New Year's pillow. From different types make braid "strings" for New Year's toys. That's how great it turned out!

When sewing a pillow (or choosing the right option in a store), try to focus on the interior that is created in your home. A New Year's pillow, of course, is a decorative element in the interior, but at the same time it should decorate it, and not spoil it.

The New Year's pillow will not be on your couch all year round. She is to become the same festive attribute as a Christmas tree or Santa Claus. They appear in our homes once a year to create a festive mood.

In addition to the applique, you can try to draw “ Christmas toys»Directly on the fabric from which you will sew the pillowcase. For this, you can use acrylic or textile paints. They are designed for painting cotton, silk and synthetic fabrics. They are applied directly to the fabric with a brush, stamp or paint. The paints "fit" well on the fabric, do not spread, do not fade, and at the same time are lightfast. After applying paint to the surface, it is recommended to dry the painting within 24 hours. Then iron with an iron without steam for 5 minutes with seamy side through paper or fabric at a temperature appropriate for the type of fabric. After 48 hours after ironing, it is allowed to wash the product with soft detergents at temperatures from 30 ° C to 40 ° C without strong mechanical stress.

A product that has been decorated with fabric dyes acquires properties such as:

• brightness
• strength
• lightfastness
• heat resistance (up to 40 С)
• no traces of paint when rubbing

If neither the applique, nor the coloring of the pillows on your own suits you, sew a pillow made of fabric (such as a tapestry) with a ready-made New Year's pattern.

Pillow - Santa Claus (or Santa Claus) will definitely become good decoration for home during the winter holidays. And all because this character evokes only positive emotions in almost all people. It is not easy to sew such a pillow in the shape of a star-Frost. Only an experienced craftswoman can handle such work.

This Santa Claus pillow looks more like a stuffed toy.

It's nice to sit at home in the evening and with good mood sew a festive pillow with your own hands. Let it not be "perfect", but this is your thing, in which you put your emotions and your imagination. When you take this pillow out of the closet for the coming New Year holidays, you will always remember those pleasant moments when you sewed it.

Front new year holidays many parents, as well as kindergarten teachers and school teachers are asked topical issue: how to make an outfit for the main New Year's hero with your own hands. You can buy ready-made carnival costume in the store or order tailoring new year dress in the studio. But this is not always profitable in financial matters, and there is no desire to buy a cheap and low-quality outfit by Morozko or Santa Claus, which is sold in every supermarket. The kids are unlikely to believe in such a wizard, and Christmas story will be spoiled.

Components of the outfit

First, let's figure out what parts the decoration consists of: a fur coat, a hat, mittens, a bag with gifts, a magic staff and a white beard with a mustache. Of course, the main and rather complicated part of the outfit is a fur coat, which must be sewn exclusively according to patterns. By the way, if you are smart, you can use the pattern of a bathrobe with long sleeves or an old coat of the simplest style.

New Year's decoration pattern

Before sewing fur coats and hats for Santa Claus choose a short pile fabric first... This could be, for example:

To finish a fur coat and hat you will need:

• white fur;
• batting;
• synthetic winterizer that can be replaced with a beautiful white fabric.

Fur coat for the main character

Usually this role is entrusted to men, but women also often have to dress up as their grandfather. The fur coat is worn on clothes, so the size will be approximately 50, 52, 54. And the grandfather of size 46 will seem ridiculous, but he must be omnipotent. This means that a lot of fabric will be needed. First you need to take measurements with a centimeter tape from the one for whom you need to sew a Santa Claus costume. Then you need to carefully study the selected pattern and make sure that it fits in size.

• a piece of chalk or a remnant of dry soap;
• ruler and measuring tape;
• finished, cut out patterns.

Then the fabric should be cut, leaving seam allowances of about two centimeters.

The fur coat is sewn from five parts: two front shelves (right and left), back, collar and belt.

After the parts are cut and cut, you can start connecting the parts. First, you need to sew on the shoulders two front shelves with a back, then sew the side seams on the seamy side. All seams must be processed with a zigzag, overlock or special scissors on a typewriter, so that later the edges of the material do not sprinkle and do not diverge.

Separately, you need to sew the sleeves and process the seams. Then the sleeves need to be sewn into the armholes of the fur coat. The main thing is to do it correctly so that the sleeves fit correctly.

When the main part of the fur coat is ready, it remains to sew the collar cut from white fur or any other fabric. You can also cut and sew a collar out of the same fabric as your fur coat, and then sew on a fur collar.

The last detail of the garment is the belt (sash); it should be wide and long so that it can be doubled around the waist and tied in front. To cut out such a belt, a special pattern is not needed, you can cut out a piece in size, twenty centimeters wide, taking into account seam allowances and three meters long. If you only have short pieces of fabric, and there is no piece of suitable length left, make a sash piece from several pieces and sew them together.

Then the resulting sash blank must be folded in length exactly in half, carefully bend the edges inward and sew the entire part on sewing machine... Your belt is ready and can be decorated with white faux fur, fringe or fabric on both ends.

Christmas hat for Santa Claus

After the fur coat is ready, you can do sewing hats for vesting Santa Claus.

To do this, you need a pattern. Using a measuring tape, take measurements from the person to whom the item is intended. If you are sewing for a child, all measurements must be taken from the baby, for an adult outfit - from an adult.

When the size of the selected pattern is ideal, then it can be transferred to the fabric. Transfer to the fabric with the required dimensions.

The hat consists of three parts:

• top part;
• band.

After the finished pattern is transferred to the fabric from the wrong side, you need to cut out all the details, not forgetting about the seam allowances. Then you need to sew the upper part of the cap with the bottom. To keep the hat in shape, you should sew a band from starched cotton fabric or cardboard, thick paper. At the end of the work, the hat, like the collar of a fur coat, must be decorated with white fur or fabric.

If you are preparing Frosty's magic decoration for a class or kindergarten, an indispensable attribute of this should be a magic stick-staff. A bag of gifts is also needed. Let's see how to sew it.

Frost bag

Sew a bag for Frost's gifts quite simple. To do this, you will need a piece of fabric you like, a sewing machine, a tailor's tape measure and fifteen minutes of free time. Ideally, the Santa Claus gift bag should be sewn from the same fabric as the entire costume. But if there is no similar matter left, the bag can be sewn from any, the main thing is that it matches the color or has universal colors:

• Red and blue;
• silver and gold;
• white and oily.

So, you need to cut out two identical rectangular parts 1 meter long and 80 centimeters wide. Sew both parts on a sewing machine on three sides from the wrong side, process the edges of the seams with a zigzag or overlock.

Tuck the top of the bag inward by five centimeters and sew on a typewriter. In the resulting lapel, you need to insert a braid or tape with which the bag will be pulled together. Instead, you can cut out a strip of fabric that is seventy centimeters long and ten centimeters wide, tuck in and sew the edges. Then sew it in the center to one side seam on the front side so that the bag can be tied with this ribbon.

To make all the details of Santa Claus's New Year's decoration look magical and truly fabulous, you need to add to the decoration additional decor ... The easiest way is to decorate the outfit with shiny tinsel that you can sew on:

• along the edges of the fur coat;
• on the cuffs;
• on the collar;
• as the edge of the cap.

You can embroider snowflakes by hand or on a sewing machine with silver, gold or white thread; to sew on the costume shimmering sequins, rhinestones, beads and other decorative elements. You can knit openwork snowflakes and sew them on the fur coat and hat of Santa Claus.

Making a staff

The image of Frost will be incomplete if there is no magic in the hands, fairy staff... It is not at all difficult to make it. It is necessary to take a long club, wooden or plastic, wrap and glue it with foil. And also can be painted with white, silver or gold paint from a spray can.

The top of the magic staff is crowned with a large star. Cut out a large five-pointed star from thick cardboard and glue it with foil or paint it with paint. The edges of the star and the staff can be decorated with shiny tinsel, large beads, rhinestones, snowflakes and any christmas decor made with your own hand or bought in a store.

You can supplement the magic star with a pair of small bells that will produce an original, fabulous effect from the appearance of Santa Claus at the holiday.

Mittens for Santa Claus

Hands are exactly the element by which children recognize in Grandfather Frost their daddy, teacher or physical education teacher, therefore mittens should be a must carnival costume.

For sewing mittens, you need to choose a fabric, the same as for sewing a fur coat, hat or bag. If you are sewing mittens for a baby, then the pattern should be reduced.

It is necessary to transfer the pattern of the pattern to the fabric. Each mitten consists of three parts: one back and two inner (top and bottom). To cut a mitten for the second hand, transfer the pattern to the material in a mirror image.

Then you need to cut the material taking into account the seam allowance(one centimeter) and sew. First, the inner parts of the mitten, then connect them with the back. All seams are sewn from the seamy side and must be processed with a zigzag or overlock.

Mittens, like other parts of the costume, can be decorated with tinsel, snowflakes, beads, rhinestones or other New Year's decor.

How to make a beard

An important detail in Frost's suit - this is a beard, white, fluffy, magic... If you didn't manage to get a ready-made beard, you can make it yourself. You can from the following materials:

• from padding polyester;
• synthetic wool;
• faux fur;
• white yarn;
• paper or fabric.

Let's analyze an example of creating from an old, forgotten, white or beige woolen sweater, machine knitted.

It is necessary to take old sweater, PVA glue, scissors, a small flap of white.

First, on a white cotton cloth, make a sketch of the beard of the desired size and cut it out along the contour with scissors. Don't forget to make a hole for the mouth and ties to keep the beard on your head.

Then you need to gently dissolve the sweater into separate threads, starting from the lower edge of the beard, thread by thread, you can use small bunches. It is necessary to glue the beard onto the fabric base with even rows of threads, filling the entire free area and creating a real beard for Santa Claus. Thanks to machine knitting, the threads will turn out to be strongly twisted, curly. According to this principle, you can make a beard from strips of white ribbon used by florists, pre-curl them with a scissor blade or from strips of plain white paper.

Faux fur beard is also quick to master and looks great. It can be made round or triangular... Attached, like a sweater beard, with elastic bands or ribbons.

A beard for a child and a man can be made from household materials at hand. Take a clothesline and cut it into equal lengths. Using a gun and hot glue, gradually, row by row, glue the pieces of rope onto the fabric beard base.

If you have leftover wool for felting, you can make a mustache and beard for a fairytale hero from it. Prepare the base from the fabric, glue the strands of wool, starting from the bottom.

To make the image of the main character of the New Year complete, be sure to make your grandfather specific makeup using makeup or women's cosmetics... Paint Frosty's red nose and ruddy cheeks, move the eyebrows with white shadows so that they match the white beard.

If you know how to knit or crochet, then the outfit can not only be sewn, but also knitted.

Now you can easily make a costume and a unique image of your favorite New Year's character.
