We present to your attention several simple ideas on making Christmas toys from felt with your own hands. We have chosen three New Year's symbol, which are not usually toys and are made from them Christmas tree decorations. These toys will become a bright accessory on the Christmas tree and will leave pleasant memories for a long time.

New Year's felt candy

First we will sew a toy, which we call a New Year's candy. We will need:

- Red beads and seed beads;
- White threads;
- Filler;
- Needle and scissors.

Let's start by cutting out the pattern of the future toy and tracing it on felt. We need two parts white mirroring each other and one detail is red. We will make leaves for decoration from green felt.

We work very carefully on red felt, trying not to leave pencil marks. We need the part to remain clean on both sides. Then we cut the red part as shown on the pattern. Take your time and cut carefully. Try not to mix up the pieces, so as not to assemble them like a mosaic later.

Let's start stitching. Let's start at the bottom end of the caramel. We take the parts made of white felt and fold them inside out to each other, then, in the third layer, we apply a piece of red felt corresponding to this fragment of the product, and sew them together with an overcast stitch.


When we come to the end of the red fragment, take the next one and apply it on the other side.



We continue to sew our caramel. Don't forget to apply the red parts, one at a time, from different sides. As soon as we reach the end of one piece, we take the next one.
Having finished stitching on one side, we proceed to the second side of the toy. The red parts are already all sewn into place and all we have to do is sew the edges and add filler inside.

It’s better to add filler gradually, sew a little, stuff the stitched piece, and so on.

When the New Year's felt candy is completely sewn and stuffed, we begin decorating.

We take our green felt leaves, fold them into a fan, fasten them and sew them to the caramel just above the middle. Sew the leaves together very carefully; the felt at the ends is very thin and can be damaged.

After the leaves are attached to the toy, we take beads and seed beads. We string one bead and one seed bead onto a thread.


Then we thread the thread back into the bead and secure it to the product. Before fastening, check the thread; it may have twisted under the bead. You need to sew the bead so that the fabric is adjacent to the felt. Beads will not only add beauty to our toy, but will also hide the stitches with which we sewed the leaves.

We do the same with the rest of the beads. Finally, we attach a loop to the finished caramel, using it we will hang the toy on the New Year tree.

The felt Christmas candy is ready and will be a wonderful decoration for your holiday tree!

Felt mitten

To sew mittens we need:
- Felt in red, white and green;
- Red beads and seed beads;
- White and red threads;
- Filler;
- Needle and scissors.

First, as usual, we prepare the pattern (the pattern is at the end of this article). You can print it out or redraw it, then glue the pattern onto cardboard and cut it out. We attach ready-made pattern to the felt and trace. To transfer the pattern, you can use a chalk or pencil of any color, the main thing is that all traces remain on wrong side. Of course, you need to be careful with white felt; marks can show through it.

When all the details of the mitten are cut out, we begin sewing. First, let's sew the white parts to the red ones. To do this, we use a regular basting stitch. Make small stitches, at a short distance from each other, so they will hold the parts together more firmly and will look more beautiful on the finished product.


Now let’s immediately sew our decoration onto the front part. We take the leaves, arrange them like a fan, fasten them together and sew them onto the mitten. When fastening the leaves, be careful not to overdo it. When sewing thin parts, the felt may fluff or stretch, which spoils appearance and product strength. For example, a carelessly sewn leaf may simply fall off over time.

Sew on the beads. After attaching the leaves, we do not break the thread, but simply bring it to the front side of the mitten and string the bead. After the bead we string a bead. We tighten the thread so that the bead fits snugly on the felt, and thread the corner with the thread back into the hole of the bead. Thus, the thread passes twice through the bead and once through the bead.

Now we fold the front and back parts of the mitten, with the wrong sides facing each other, and begin to sew. Sew along the edge with an overcast stitch. Try to make small stitches evenly spaced apart. Start sewing with the red parts, and when the red parts are sewn, fill the mitten with holofiber or padding polyester. Any other filler you have will do. We don’t stuff it too much, just to give our mitten some volume.
Change the thread to white and begin sewing the remaining one top part. Add a little more filler so that it is evenly distributed throughout the toy, and finish connecting the parts.

We attach a rope to the top part, in the middle, so that we can hang our New Year's toy on the Christmas tree.

The New Year's felt mitten is ready!

Felt boot

The process of creating a boot is similar to making a New Year's mitten.
We will also need
- Felt in red, white and green;
- Red beads and seed beads;
- White and red threads;
- Filler;
- Needle and scissors.

Cut out the pattern. You can change the dimensions of the pattern and make the boot the size you need: small, like a decoration for the Christmas tree, or large to put a gift in it. You just need to change the scale when printing the pattern. Don't forget that the details of the boot should mirror each other.

Sew the top white parts of the boot to the red ones. We use a basting stitch.

We decorate the front part with felt leaves and beads. You can place the decorative element according to your taste: at the top, bottom or even on the toe of the boot)


First we will sew the red part. Start from the top and move to the toe, it will be more comfortable. After the sock is sewn, we will add filler to it and continue connecting the two parts of the boot.

Then we change the thread and move on to the white part. If you are making a large boot for a gift, do not sew up the top part. Just finish the edges along the top with a blanket stitch, without joining them. If you are making a New Year's toy, when you finish sewing, attach a rope or ribbon at the top.

Now we can decorate holiday tree wonderful New Year's felt toys!

Felt snowflakes

Felt snowflakes embroidered with patterns to decorate a Christmas tree, chandelier or cornice

Do you remember how impatiently we waited for the first snow as children? Every time, as soon as soft flakes began to fall from the sky, the children poured out into the street, trying to enjoy all the delights of a snowy winter. And even in adulthood, the first snow always brings with it a feeling of celebration and some kind of elusive magic, because snowflakes are so unusual and beautiful that they can be called a real miracle of nature.

We invite you to decorate your home with these wonderful felt snowflakes, which will differ from real ones only in that they will never melt in a warm apartment. To make snowflakes you will need:

  • pieces of felt of different colors;
  • needles;
  • threads;
  • thick paper or a couple of sheets of cardboard;
  • rhinestones;
  • sequins;
  • beads;
  • glue;
  • pins;
  • cotton wool or thin padding polyester;
  • scissors.

When a simple set of items is assembled, let's get to work:

1. Download snowflake templates, print them on paper and prepare paper blanks. If you're going to please handmade crafts many friends or colleagues, it would be better to transfer the templates to cardboard, since the paper quickly becomes unusable.

2. Transfer the snowflake patterns onto pieces of felt and cut out the snowflakes. If you want to make your crafts more beautiful, apply pencil strokes that imitate frosty patterns, then embroider the outlines with contrasting threads. You can decorate future snowflakes using rhinestones, small beads and shiny sequins, gluing them to a felt base. Let the product dry.

3. Start sewing the two pieces of snowflakes together by placing them next to each other and then pinning them together. If you want to get more voluminous toy, gradually fill it with a small amount of cotton wool. You can fill snowflakes with padding polyester. To do this, you will have to duplicate parts of the snowflakes on a piece of padding polyester, making them 0.5 cm smaller so that you can sew the product.

4. Prepare loops from floss or knitting yarn. Place the tails of the thread in one of the corners of the snowflake, making a loop, and sew the snowflake in this place. Now the toys can be placed on a Christmas tree or cornice, or you can hang entire garlands of decorations by placing them on a string stretched across the room.

DIY felt star

DIY combined star with other felt toys of the same color

Volumetric felt stars, hung around the room or on the Christmas tree, will instantly turn your home into a real fairy tale, filling it with New Year's atmosphere. For such crafts, it is best to buy white or beige color, in which the toy looks especially light, soft and reminds us of the onset of winter. A beautiful accent for this calm color scheme will be gold or silver embroidery along the edges and on convex areas of the product. To make stars you will need the following items:

  • a piece of beige or white felt;
  • needles;
  • cotton threads to match the fabric;
  • scissors;
  • simple pencil;
  • pins;
  • silver or gold metallized thread.

Step-by-step production of blanks for a volumetric star

Stages of making a Christmas star:

1. Cut out the details. The size of the star depends solely on your goals: if you want to decorate the top of the New Year tree, it is better to make a fairly large star, but a smaller craft is suitable for decorating window openings or a chandelier. For a small toy, you need to cut two square pieces of felt, 15 centimeters each, and two more, 14 centimeters each, on each side of the square. For big stars You will need to prepare two square blanks of 25 centimeters each and two more - 23 centimeters each.

2. We sew the base. Take two large square felt for future star, mark the middle and bend the squares in half. Fasten with pins, carefully walk along the fold line with your fingers and sew the middle with cotton thread (small transverse stitches), not reaching the edges by about 4-5 cm (for a large star). Remove the pins, unfold the product and bend it in the opposite direction, sew in the same way as the first time, creating a perpendicular volumetric fold on the star. Sew both felt squares in this manner. Turn the stitched fabric over so that the seam is on the bottom. Fold the fabric diagonally, fasten with pins and sew with silver thread (small and frequent transverse stitches) diagonally, stepping back half a centimeter from the edges. Remove the pins and fold diagonally in the opposite direction, stitching the fold in exactly the same way. Press the star along the fold lines, starting from the middle and towards the edges, trim the protruding parts of the square to get a star with four ends.

3. Let's make the base. Take two smaller squares. Draw two lines with a pencil intersecting the center of the square. Go carefully along the folds and cut out the backing for the top of the star. Attach the inner part to the convex part, connect with pins and sew it with silver threads to the convex part of the product using a blanket stitch.

4. Collecting a star. Connect both parts of the toy, placing the flat sides against each other, unfold one of the parts so that the 8 tips are located in the form of 45 degree angles. Using cotton thread, sew a star on the inside of the corners. If you want to decorate the top of the Christmas tree, simply spread the two halves of the star and place it on the top branch.

Felt cup holders

DIY crafts in the form of felt cup holders

In our dynamic times, many people stop by a cafe on the way to work or school to treat themselves to a glass aromatic coffee. But holding a hot container is inconvenient - the scalding drink forces you to change your hand every now and then or wrap the glass in napkins. Cup holders made of bright felt are great gift for colleagues and friends, which will help them not only hold a hot glass, but also make it stylish and individual. You can make felt headbands in just a couple of minutes. The main thing is that you have:

  • pieces of colored felt;
  • threads;
  • paper;
  • pins;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • measuring tape;
  • pencil.

Have you collected everything you need? Then let's start making cup holders!

1. By and large, the cups in which visitors pour tea and coffee to go are standardized products, so you can prepare one such glass for measurements. If you want to be on the safe side, you can run into the exact coffee shop your colleague, friend, or lover prefers to go to to purchase a glass of coffee in the right place and then measure it.

2. After taking measurements, transfer them to paper and cut out templates for future crafts. Pin the paper templates to the felt and cut out the parts for the cup holders. You can find templates on the Internet for decorative decorations in the form of deer, Christmas trees, and Santa Claus.

3. Connect the base for the cup holder in the form of a cylinder so that there is a slight overlap, and sew with thread. Glue all the decorative elements you like on top, decorating the product with Christmas trees, deer, snowflakes and other details.

Felt cone

Step-by-step instructions for making a voluminous felt cone

Fir and pine cones are a wonderful element, because they remind us of a winter meadow, bringing a piece of nature into our home. But what should those who do not have a coniferous forest grow within their reach do? Felt will come to the rescue, from which you can make an imitation of pine cones, which will be no worse than the natural “fruits” of the Christmas tree. A set of simple tools and materials for creativity includes the following:

  • felt in several colors (for example, chocolate and burgundy). You can also take felt in dark and light green colors - then your pine cones will look as if you just picked them from the Christmas tree;
  • thin wooden skewers or long toothpicks;
  • awl;
  • glue;
  • artificial snow or sparkles;
  • sheet of paper;
  • simple pencil;
  • pins;
  • stationery knife;
  • scissors.

Now that all the materials are prepared, you can start making the craft:

1. Print out the pine cone templates on a piece of paper. Cut out the templates, place them on a piece of felt, pin them in place and trace them with a pencil. Now you can cut out the blanks. Please note that the parts of the cone vary in size. You will need to make three pieces of medium and large size and two small ones, duplicating them on felt of each color. Place the felt pieces for each pine cone into piles. Mark the middle by writing a letter on it that corresponds to the size.

2. Sharpen a wooden skewer. Take a medium-sized piece in two colors, make holes, and tightly fold the two colored parts together. Pierce the blanks with an awl and place them on a wooden skewer. There is no need to bring the felt elements to the end of the skewer, so leave a small “tail” 2-3 cm long. Apply a drop of glue to a wooden stick in the place where the blanks will be planted, drop glue in front of them. Take the next two colored elements - this time they should be the larger parts of the pine cones. Make a hole in the middle and place it on the stick again, twisting it a little so that the parts of the cone are at different angles. Press the elements slightly in the middle. Repeat the procedure with large parts 2 more times, then install 2 pairs of medium-sized elements. Place two pairs of the smallest pieces on a stick. The last part of the cone, if assembled like a bud, should cover the tip of a wooden skewer. Apply a little glue to the wood and the inside of the felt pieces and hide the wooden tip. Straighten the “scales” of the cone so that they look as natural as possible.

3. Cut the wooden tail using a knife, leaving literally 7 mm, make it thinner using a stationery knife. From felt scraps, make two strips 1.5-2 centimeters long and 0.5 centimeters wide. Apply glue and stick to a wooden base, and then glue them tightly together. The tail of the pine cone is ready! By the way, you can do it differently: coat the wooden base with glue, and then wrap it tightly with knitting yarn of a suitable color.

4. Decorate the sides of the cone with glitter or apply some artificial snow to the product.

Felt craft ideas

Of course, the list of felt crafts does not end there. From this plastic and textured material you can make decorative mugs with pieces of sugar, Christmas wreaths from felt bows, birdhouses, flowers, animals, birds, holiday pies, panels, imitation snow globes and much more. We wouldn't be surprised if you get so carried away by the process of making felt toys that over time you replace store-bought figurines with ones you made yourself!

Already tired of glossy ones New Year's balls– and I want to please the Christmas tree with something new, soft and cozy. Well... here you go NEW idea for Christmas tree decoration. We will decorate the Christmas tree with felt toys. In this article you will find large selection ideas and demonstration master class on New Year's felt.

WHAT exactly – we will be making from felt today.

Let me tell you right away what kind of crafts I collected in this article

  • We will do many STARS- for decorating the Christmas tree.
  • Cut from felt SNOWFLAKES...or embroider them.
  • We will tinker – BALLS made of felt (similar to Christmas trees)
  • Let's sew Santa Claus(different patterns)
  • Making a Christmas tree from felt... and HOUSES.

  • Let's make New Year's OWLS and BIRDIES just like felt Christmas tree crafts.
  • AND AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE... THERE WILL BE A SURPRISE PRIZE!!!!

That is, there will be a lot of ideas - and I also selected more ways for each idea... to awaken your imagination and inspire creative New Year's deeds.

TASTY PREFACE... decorative possibilities of bright felt.

And by the way... from felt we can make not only New Year's toys... but use the IDEAS OF THIS ARTICLE to create other New Year's crafts. For example, a felt craft can decorate gift tea jars...Or New Year's greetings postcard...

Or felt characters can position themselves on a Christmas wreath… Or beautiful craft can serve as decoration for chair back- as part of the overall New Year's table setting.

And a bunch of New Year's characters made of felt can become a FINGER THEATER- and during the Christmas season, your children can put on a variety of theatrical productions in New Year theme. And you will help them with the script and the main characters of the play.

Now let's talk about everything promised in order...

New Year's STARS made of felt - for decorating the Christmas tree.

And of course there should be stars hanging on the tree... lots of beautiful stars made of bright felt. They can be made in different ways.

You can sew a PLUGGY STAR cut out two parts of the star - front and back - sew them together and stuff cotton wool inside. Front side decorate the stars with a snowflake made of felt - it can be sewn on with invisible stitches... passing the thread through the bead... Then the snowflake is sewn on and the stitches are invisible, because they pass through the beads. This star is in the left photo below.

Can you make a MULTILAYER star? - made of felt different shades(and even of different thicknesses) cut into stars... circles... flowers. And put it all in ONE STACK - (as in the right photo below) ... decorate the middle of the felt multi-layer star with a button

Or do star-shaped blanks FROM PLYWOOD... or THICK CARDBOARD... Then cut out the same star silhouette from felt and glue them onto our rigid blanks. You can decorate the star with a snowflake or felt peas - as in the photo below.

Can the surface of a star decorate with STITCHES - that is, simple embroidery... Just make a seam from colored thick threads that follows the contours of the star.

Or try embroidering the outline of a snowflake in the center of the star and small snowflakes in the ray corners.

Felt SNOWFLAKES – flat and voluminous (master class).

And of course I want to make openwork snowflakes... a symbol of the tenderness of nature. It’s amazing how wind and water create such beauty - only if they are driven by TENDERNESS.

If you have fairly TIGHT felt– then you can simply cut out the contours of the snowflake and punch a hole for the ribbon tie.

You can just make a snowflake embroider with thread on a round felt... You can draw a snowflake on felt... cut it out with scissors - and that too stick as applique on a felt circle.

You can also glue the felt applique onto a simple round piece of CARDBOARD. Can you cut it out? two snowflakes of contrasting color (blue and white) and so that there is only one bigger size- and when we stack them on top of each other, the second one will be laid out along the edges from under the first (as in the right photo below).

You can cut out THIN-RADIANT snowflakes different sizes... And fold them into a sandwich... Decorate the center with a button or bead or brooch. As we can see in the photo below, a hand-made snowflake

And here's another one interesting way creation 3D felt snowflake– petal method.

It looks complicated, but in fact it’s even EASIER AND FASTER than cutting out the rays of a snowflake...

Here's how it's done...

We will cut out the PETALS (like a flower)... and then we will tighten the BASES of these petals (closer to the middle of the flower) with thread... This way the petals at the middle of the flower will SHRINK and there will be holes in the center...

OPTIONAL... you can decorate the centers of the petals with embroidery... bugles... beads...

You can also later (or immediately) make a FIGURED CUTTING OF THE PETALS - so that they have teeth or steps...

And there is also a way to FOLD a snowflake from felt strips...Like in the photo below...

HOUSES made of felt - toys for the Christmas tree.

If you have THICK felt, you can simply cut it out SILHOUETTES little house in... make SLOTS-windows in them and hang a bell, a crystal or a tiny New Year's ball in each slot (small New Year's balls for mini Christmas trees are sold in the store.

But even if you don’t have thick felt, you can get it if glue two layers of regular felt. Layers of felt can be glued together with simple PVA glue... or glued with double non-woven fabric (dublerin) - this is an adhesive fabric, it is placed between the layers of felt and calcined with an iron, the temperature melts the dublerin and the layers of felt are glued together.

Or you can make a chubby house... sew it from two layers of felt... and stuff cotton wool inside...

Or make a three-dimensional three-dimensional house with four walls and a pyramidal roof.

Christmas tree toys made of felt - in the form of mittens and skates.

These skates are made very simply... First, a pattern is cut out - it looks like the SIDE WALLS of a BOOTE molded together...

Then the fold line of this part is pushed under the paperclip.... And in this place - the folds of the part (the sides of the boot) are folded together and stitched along the sides... And it turned out that the paperclip ended up inside the boot.

The mittens are sewn from two halves - we put cotton wool or padding polyester inside... We decorate the front part with buttons (of course, we sew them on before sewing the front and back parts together). We make elegant cuffs from any fabric - we also decorate them with a button. Without cuffs, mittens look like an unfinished craft, but with cuffs they immediately become more refined.

Felt cupcakes are like decorations for a Christmas tree.

So delicious It’s easy to make a cupcake-cake yourself... there is no complex pattern- everything is simply cut out by eye... The main thing is to do it seams to imitate the ribbed surface of a cupcake... decorate the top with a berry or a bead... and make it in the middle felt strip - a layer of cream. Candied fruits and rhinestones will complement the beauty of this culinary felt masterpiece.

Or you can make voluminous cupcakes from felt and also hang them on the Christmas tree. .

How to make a voluminous CAKE CAKE with your own hands.

To do this you need to cut a long strip of felt... in the form of an elongated triangle... Such elongated parts are needed 2 pieces– light and dark colors

We put both parts on top of each other and roll them up - like a carpet. We begin to roll up our “two-layer rug” on the side that is wider... and to the one that is already. This way we get a cupcake that has a top in the center...

We secure the roll with threads (so as not to unroll)… decorate with a paper cupcake tin… or lace

Christmas tree BALLS made of felt - for the New Year tree.

But these are the simplest felt crafts... We cut out the circles and decorate them with felt strips and rhinestones.

Such Christmas balls made of felt can have a teardrop shape (as in the photo below)

They can be decorated with flowers and stars cut out of felt. Elegant braid, thin lace and sequins.

Oval shapes similar to an icicle also look good

Master class on sewing felt Christmas tree decorations.

And here’s a step-by-step photo in which you can see the whole process of making such a toy – layer by layer...

Christmas tree toys made of felt WITH APPLIQUE.

You can also make a felt applique (or fleece) on such a round felt ball. For applique it is better to use thin felt.

For Christmas tree applique, it’s better to take three shades of green... so that each tier of the tree stands out beautifully (as in the photo below). And for the deer applique, you also need 2 shades of brown - one for the head and the other for the nose and antlers.

You can make a snowman or an applique of Santa Claus.

If there is no white felt for the beard of Santa Claus and for the snowman- You can use a cotton pad. Only the cotton pad needs to be strengthened with PVA glue (soak it in glue, level it and dry it so that it becomes denser and cemented).

You can make interesting as if staged scenes on such felt material... A snowman who rejoices in the snow... A bunny under the Christmas tree, birds circling and flowers blooming in the snow

Both adults and children love to sew Christmas tree decorations from felt. "Cross" invites you to create very funny Deer. Handmade New Year's toys fill this magical holiday with even greater comfort and warmth.

Let's prepare the necessary materials:

  • felt (white, brown, dark brown, brown-black);
  • large black beads 6 pieces;
  • red floss thread;
  • red satin ribbon;
  • padding polyester;
  • needle;
  • scissors.

Let's get down to business.

Using the template, cut out deer patterns from felt.

You should end up with two muzzle parts of each color. From brown-black felt we cut out three noses and three pairs of horns.

Using red floss thread we embroider a smile (in 4 threads) on all three faces.

Sew the back and front parts of the muzzle clockwise, starting from the left ear. Next to the ear we insert a horn and sew it together with the muzzle (i.e. three layers of felt), then a ribbon, a second horn and sew the second ear.

The ribbon should be cut to such a length that it will be convenient to hang it on the tree. Fold the ribbon in half and tie the ends with a knot. In this case, she will definitely not jump out of the toy. When sewing with a toy, the ribbon knot should be inside the face.

At this stage, you should fill your ears with padding polyester. Now we sew the remaining part of the muzzle almost to the end, fill it with padding polyester, sew it up, fasten the thread, and hide the tail.

This is the cute felt Deer that resulted. If desired, you can decorate it with snowflakes.

Similarly, we make two more toys in different colors.

The resulting set of Christmas Reindeers will decorate your New Year tree and can serve as a good gift for family or friends.

Another original version How to make a New Year's toy can be seen in the video tutorial.

Felt crafts are soft and pleasant to the touch; this material is easy and interesting to work with. The parts can be sewn by machine, by hand or glued together.

Before starting work, prepare:

  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • glitter;
  • beads;
  • a needle;
  • threads;
  • cardboard;
  • narrow ribbons for eyelets.

To sew a felt star, cut out an even number of identical pieces, sew them in pairs with a hem stitch (photo above), leaving one edge. Fill with filling and sew up completely. Decorate New Year's toys with beads.

To make these with your own hands beautiful hearts it will take some effort. First, make a cardboard blank in the form of hearts and separately in the form of drawings that will decorate them. Take sharp scissors, cut out hearts and ornaments (they should be in contrasting colors). Carefully machine stitch or glue the ornament to the hearts, and sew on a loop.

You can also make crafts without volume and without filler, as in the photo. In this case, two layers of material can simply be glued or stitched.
