Winter is coming and New Year very close. New 2018 will be the Year of the Dog. I propose to sew small cute dogs from felt, which will be an excellent decoration for a New Year's festive tree. They will also become a memorable souvenir gift for friends and family. You can make trinkets or brooches from such dogs.

To sew toys, we need: felt (2-3 colors, I have gray, brown and white), 2 beads, a needle and thread in the color of felt, black thick threads, filler for toys, a string for a keychain and a dog pattern (it can be cut from children's coloring or draw yourself).

From gray felt according to the pattern (pattern) of the dog, cut out 2 details in a mirror image. Cut out a couple of parts from white felt in the form of spots (my dog ​​will have white spots on the chest and on the muzzle of one eye).

Sew on the spots in the appropriate places, then sew on the beads where the eyes should be. We embroider the nose and mouth on the muzzle with black thick threads.

We also embroider the outlines of the front paws. Then we take a string for making a keychain and tie the ends.

It remains to sew both parts with the image of the dog together. Sew the parts by sewing a keyring string between the layers and gradually fill the toy with filler.

You can decorate the toy with a bow or beads.

A DIY felt dog can be a suitable gift for friends and family.

And this task is solvable! Recently, it has become fashionable to give handmade gifts. Handmade gives everyone the opportunity to individually present a special gift. In addition, such a present will not cost much at all.

Such cute animals can be made not only in honor, but also for any other events. You can also combine the time spent creating a toy with your child and present it to someone from your family. The kid will be happy to help you in such a responsible matter, and for the family this souvenir will be of great value. For this work, you need fabric, mainly felt. Our master classes will help you make crafts from such material.

Therefore, choose the template you like, watch a detailed master class and start creating.

Penguin pattern

For work we need:
Felt of different colors
Needle with thread, (threads can be used to match felt or monofilament)
Scissors
For decorating toys, a satin or rep ribbon, beads, beads, buttons, here at will, you can decorate as you like and with anything.
Sintepon
Pattern with pattern
Pencil
Sheet of white paper

Like that's all, then let's get started!

Redraw the pattern on a sheet of paper. The pattern can be printed or attached to a computer screen a sheet of white paper and lightly circled with a pencil. The pattern with the pattern can be enlarged to the desired size.
In my case, I changed the template a little, removed the penguin's cheeks. You can modify too ready-made template at your discretion, although it is better for novice needlewomen to start using a ready-made template with a pattern to try how it goes.

Next, you need to separately draw and cut out each part on paper.
For example, a completely penguin, then a breast, cheeks, nose, legs. In general, everything that needs to be sewn on separately.
Then we apply the pattern to the felt and pin it off with pins, carefully cut it out.

A whole penguin needs two parts.
We apply a middle pattern to one part, pin it off with pins and outline the outline with soap or chalk.

Cut out the middle, but not clearly along the contour, but leaving an allowance

Cut the middle out of white felt.

Now we apply the white center to the blue one to the part where we cut it out. Sew the middle to each other along the edge of the cut.

This is how it should turn out.

This is the reverse side.

We outline a place for the peephole and embroider them with black thread.
And also the beak, we sew two small triangles on both sides together and stuff with padding polyester

We cut off the excess synthetic winterizer so that it does not stick out.
We sew the beak into a circular one.

Sew on the cheeks next

Here is such a cute face)

And this is the other side.

Now we put the two parts of the penguin base together and sew the whole penguin in a circular shape except for the bottom.

We fill the penguin with a padding polyester through the lower holes that are not sewn, fill it tightly so that there are no voids, but not too tight so that a bun does not turn out, everything is good in moderation!

We are now sewing up to the end.

Cut out the legs 4 pieces and sew them together.

We fill with padding polyester and sew to the penguin

And the finishing touches - we decorate the penguin.
I cut a flower out of red felt and sew it on to the penguin, as well as a scarf. I cut off the tape, tie it and sew it on.

As soon as the first days of winter come, we begin to eagerly await the New Year. Of course, before enjoying delicious dishes, having fun at parties and stunning others with a new outfit, we have to do many important things, a special place among which is the search for New Year's gifts for relatives, friends and work colleagues.

The last weeks of December usually turn into an endless race through shopping malls, souvenir shops, Christmas markets and fairs to find unusual gifts that can bring joy to all those whom we wish to pamper. It is especially difficult to find presents for numerous colleagues and acquaintances, because there is not enough budget to buy expensive gifts, and presenting another plastic figurine of a symbol has become a sign of bad taste for a year.

Nevertheless, there is a way out of this situation! Today it is very important to give gifts made by yourself. Handmade always evokes warm feelings in the gifted people, because it speaks of a sincere and individual approach to everyone. In addition, such crafts are very inexpensive.

Of course, cute dogs can be made not only for New Year's celebrations. Joint creativity is a great excuse to spend time with your child, making a toy for a doll house or preparing a surprise for your grandmother. Perhaps one of the most simple materials for the manufacture of toys is fabric, primarily felt. We have prepared several master classes for you, from which you will learn what crafts can be made from this material.

Felt is a dense, compressed material that is sold in sheets or rolls. In structure and quality, it is similar to felt, however, for its manufacture, not coarse wool, but delicate fluff or undercoat is used. Felt can also be semi-synthetic and made entirely of synthetic fibers.

You will need colored felt 1-1.5 mm thick

The advantages of this material is that it is manufactured in huge amount colors, produced in different thickness, sticks easily and does not tend to peel off the edges, so it does not require processing. When choosing felt for small crafts, such as the dogs from the following master classes, you should consider the following recommendations:

• buy thin felt from 1 to 1.5 millimeters to keep the toy neat. It is this thickness that has the maximum plasticity;
• for such crafts, it is better to take semi-synthetic felt with an admixture of acrylic or viscose or synthetic material - they are softer than the woolen version of this fabric, so it is easier to make a small toy out of them;
• needles for working with felt must have a very sharp tip;
• to glue the parts, you can use PVA, Moment or glue for textiles, but in this case you need to make sure that the glue mass does not leak through the fabric - this way you will definitely get an ugly stain on front side toys. Therefore, it is better to have a thermal gun at home, with which you quickly and simply glue any detail;
• for bulk toys from felt you will need a filler. In this case, batting or cotton wool should not be used - they are knocked out of the seams, and the toy, with active use, will quickly lose its shape. So it's better to buy a supply of padding polyester, holofiber, padding polyester or thin foam rubber;
• to cut the product, you will need sharp straight scissors, small scissors for small parts and a sharp stationery or roller knife;
• to transfer patterns to fabric, you should use a self-disappearing marker, chalk or gel pen.

Now that you know all the intricacies of working with this material, let's proceed to the promised master classes.
