Have a wonderful December! Today we are looking forward to the New Year holidays and decorate our home with felt crafts. About everything in more detail later in the article.
Making a choice
Ahead of us is the New Year and Christmas - a magical time, with joy, gifts and elegant houses. Today I want to show you very simple home decorating ideas with felt, an affordable and easy-to-use craft material that you can create a range of things with! From plush toys, pillows, accessories, to wall art and decorations, the options are endless!
I have collected for you a few New Year's projects that you can do with your own hands. Try your hand with a step-by-step guide that is well suited for beginners and advanced masters.
Gingerbread toy
These little sentimental "Christmas Gingerbread" felt can create a magical mood. Suitable as a decoration for a gift, or toys for the Christmas tree.
Necessary materials
- felt;
- white thread and needle;
- small buttons;
- thin ribbons;
- hot glue gun;
- pen / pencil and scissors;
- cotton wool or synthetic winterizer for stuffing;
- stencil or cookie.
Step 1
For each Gingerbread, you will need two identical pieces of felt. I used the cookie itself as a stencil, but you can draw a person on a sheet of paper and cut it out, copying the resulting figure onto felt.
Step 2
Cut out your felt, decorate one figure - this will be the top. You can decorate it to your liking, add various embellishments, I just sewed it around the edges with white thread, added a red bow and two hot glue buttons.
Step 3
Before assembling the two parts of my cookie, I applied a little hot glue to the wrong side at the top of the head to insert a loop of tape for ease of use of the finished craft (you can use it to attach it to gifts later or hang it on the tree).
Step 4
Then I drew glue from the wrong side along the contour: first the head, then the arms, torso and legs. I also added padding gradually: after the glue had dried on the head, I filled it with cotton, then added padding to the hands. Always let the glue dry before stuffing the area with cotton.
Step 5
When the whole little gingerbread was glued, stuffed with cotton, I waited for it to dry, cut off the excess glue.
Step 6
As you already understood, the thread on the craft is decorative - just sew the gingerbread along the contour with the simplest stitch that we were taught at school in the labor lesson. Christmas cookies are ready!
Christmas garland made of felt
And this wonderful mini-garland can not only decorate a gift, but also act as an independent decoration for walls, doors or a Christmas tree. Either way, this warm, soft, cozy felt garland never hurts this Christmas season!
Garland of warm, soft and cozy felt
Although this is a rather painstaking work that involves cutting out all these small details, the result is worth it - your children will be delighted, and the author's look of obvious manual labor will give your interior a special zest, like everything that is made by hand - with love and warmth.
Necessary materials
- sheets of felt (or felt) - I found it on Ali Express, but it is also available in other online stores;
- round stencil (I cut out three sizes: 3.5 cm, 4 cm and 2.5 cm);
- thin marker;
- Good sharp scissors for fabric;
- sewing machine with white threads.
Walkthrough
- Circles: Count out about 10-15 units of round shapes of different sizes in the same color, and then cut them out by hand.
- Triangles: Make a quick template to trace the triangles, then cut along the top corner which creates a strip of interlocking triangles as shown in the picture. It's fast!
- Arrange your shapes in order in length as you see them (my garland has about 10 shapes).
- Sew the forms in one long row so that there is no space left between each form.
Felt Ornament "New Year's Pudding"
Necessary materials
- sewing needle;
- pin for fixing parts;
- brown, white, dark green and red felt + matching sewing thread;
- ribbon of your choice (I used narrow black ribbon)
- fabric scissors.
Walkthrough
Step 1
First, cut out a circle according to a single pattern and then make a white icing shape from this circle as in the picture. The second cut out circle will be a brown cupcake also in a round shape. For one decoration, you will need two of these forms.
Step 2
Next, cut out a small red circle, about a centimeter in size - this will be the cherry on the pudding. You will also need two leaves - they can be made in any shape. Then cut the ribbon to the desired length. Depending on how the finished decoration will be hung, the ribbon can be long or short, but not less than 12 cm in length.
Step 3
Fold ribbon into a loop, sew securely to one circle of brown pudding. This will be the top of your decoration. It is not necessary to use brown threads to match the felt, as all seams will be hidden.
Step 4
Then attach the white "icing" to the front of the ornament (so that the ends of the ribbon are inside), sew it in place with white thread.
Attach the white "icing" to the front of the ornament
Step 5
Now you need to place the leaves and berries - put the leaves on the ornament first and move them around until you are happy with the position. The leaves should overlap slightly, meeting under the ribbon, coming out of the top of the ornament.
Step 6
Once the correct angle is found, set the red berry on one side, sew the leaves using a dark green thread. Most of the stitches should be where the leaves will be hidden by the berry, but you also need to sew one long stitch along each leaf to hold it in place. It is not necessary to make a seam to the edge of the pudding, it should only peek out a little from under the berries.
Arrange leaves and berries
Step 7
Now it remains to sew the second part of the cupcake, add a red berry. You can either sew on the berry first and then sew the front and back pieces together, or vice versa, leave the berry last. The last option will leave some red stitches on the back of the ornament, but this will make the job a little less awkward.
Step 8
Whichever method you choose, sew on the cherry with a large red x-stitch for a nice decorative touch. Sew the front and back of the pudding together, using white thread around the "icing" section, gently spread the leaves out of the seams.

Prepare the necessary materials
Good afternoon - New Year's time is approaching and we all want to decorate this holiday differently than last year. Already tired of glossy Christmas balls - and I want to please the Christmas tree with something new, soft and cozy. Well... here you are A NEW idea for a Christmas tree outfit. We will decorate the Christmas tree with felt toys. In this article you will find a large selection of ideas and a demonstrative master class on New Year's felt.
WHAT exactly - today we will make felt.
Let me tell you right away what kind of crafts I collected in this article…
- We will do many STARS- to decorate the Christmas tree.
- Cut from felt SNOWFLAKES... or embroider them.
- We will tinkering - BALLS from felt (similar to Christmas trees)
- Let's sew Santa Claus(different patterns)
- Make a Christmas tree from felt... and HOUSES.
- Sew small felt SKATES and MITTS- to hang on the Christmas tree.
- Let's make New Year's OWL and BIRD also like Christmas tree crafts made of felt.
- AND AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE…. THERE WILL BE A SURPRISE PRIZE!!!!
That is, there will be many ideas - and I also picked up more ways for each idea ... to awaken your imagination and inspire creative New Year's deeds.
DELICIOUS FOREWORD… decorating 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 Christmas crafts. For example - felt crafts can decorate gift tea jars... Or a congratulatory New Year's postcard...
Or felt characters can settle down on a Christmas wreath... Or a beautiful craft can serve as a decoration for chair back- as part of the overall New Year's table setting.
And a bunch of New Year's characters from felt can become a FINGER THEATER- and on Christmas days, your children can put on a lot of theatrical productions in the New Year theme. And you will help them with the script and with the main characters of the play.
And now let's - in order about everything promised ...
New Year's STARS from felt - to decorate the Christmas tree.
And of course, stars should hang on the Christmas tree ... a lot of beautiful stars made of bright felt. They can be made in a variety of ways.
You can sew a PUFFY STAR cut out two parts of the star - front and back - sew them together and stuff cotton wool inside. Decorate the front side of the star with a felt snowflake - it can be sewn with inconspicuous stitches ... passing the thread through the bead ... Then the snowflake turns out to be sewn on and the stitches are invisible, because they pass through the beads. This star is in the left photo below.
And you can make a MULTILAYER star - from felt of different shades (and even different thicknesses), cut stars ... circles ... flowers. And put it all in ONE PACK - (as in the right photo below) ... decorate the middle of the felt multilayer star with a button
Or do star shaped blanks FROM PLYWOOD… or THICK CARDBOARD… Then cut out the same silhouette of a star from felt and stick them on our hard 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 of colored thick threads that follows the contours of the star.
Or try to embroider the outlines of a snowflake in the center of a star and small snowflakes in the corners-rays.
SNOWFLAKES made of felt - flat and voluminous (master class).
And of course I want to make openwork snowflakes ... a symbol of the tenderness of nature. After all, it is amazing how wind and water create such beauty - only driven by TENDERNESS.
if you have enough DENSE felt- then you can simply cut out the contours of the snowflake - and punch a hole for the tie ribbon.
You can just make a snowflake embroider with threads on a felt round... You can draw a snowflake on felt ... cut it out with scissors - and also paste as applique on a circle of felt.
You can also glue the felt appliqué on a simple round piece FROM CARDBOARD. Can you cut two snowflakes in a contrasting color (blue and white) and so that one is a little larger in size - and when we put them on top of each other - the second will lay out along the edges from under the first (as in the right photo below).
You can cut FINE-RADIANT snowflakes different sizes ... And fold them into a sandwich ... Decorate the center with a button or a bead or a brooch. As we see in the photo below - a do-it-yourself snowflake
And here is another interesting way to create 3D felt snowflakes- petal method.
It looks complicated - but in fact it is 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 draw the BASES of these petals (closer to the middle of the flower) with a thread ... Thus, the petals at the middle of the flower WILL SHRINK and holes will turn out in the center ...
OPTIONAL ... you can decorate the middle of the petals with embroidery ... glass beads ... beads ...
And you can also later (or immediately) make a FIGURED CUT OF PETALS - so that they have cloves 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 a THICK felt, then you can simply cut it out SILHOUETTES OF THE HOUSE in ... make SLOT-windows in them and hang a bell, a crystal or a tiny Christmas ball in each slot (sold in the store are small Christmas balls for mini Christmas trees.
But even if you do not have thick felt, you can get it if glue two layers of ordinary felt. Layers of felt can be glued with simple pva glue ... or glued with double interlining (doublerin) - 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 voluminous three-dimensional house with four walls and a pyramidal roof.
Christmas toys made of felt - in the form of mittens and skates.
Such skates are made very simply ... First, a pattern is cut out - it looks like the BOOTS SIDES stuck together ...
Then the fold line - this part is pushed under the paper clip .... And in this place - the flaps of the part (the sidewall of the boot) are folded together and stitched on the sides ... And it turned out that the paper clip was inside the boot.
Mittens are sewn from two halves - we put cotton wool or synthetic winterizer inside ... We decorate the front detail with buttons (of course, we sew them even 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 are immediately ennobled.
Felt cupcakes - like toys for the Christmas tree.
so delicious cupcake-cake is easy to sew by yourself ... there is no complicated pattern here - everything is simply cut out by eye ... The main thing is to do it seams to simulate the ribbed surface of the cake... decorate the top with a berry or bead ... and make in the middle felt strip - a layer of cream. Candied rhinestones will complement the beauty of this culinary-felt masterpiece.
And 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.
For this you need to cut a long strip of felt ... in the form of an elongated triangle ... Such elongated parts need 2 pieces- light and dark colors
We put both parts on top of each other and roll them up into a roll - like a carpet. We start folding our “two-layer rug” on the wider side... and up to the one that already. So we get a cupcake that has a vertex in the center ...
We fix the roll with threads (so that it does not turn around) ... decorate with a paper cupcake pan ... or lace
Christmas balls made of felt - for the Christmas tree.
But these are the simplest felt crafts ... We cut out circles and decorate them with felt strips and rhinestones.
Such Christmas balls made of felt can be teardrop-shaped (as in the photo below)
They can be decorated with flowers and stars cut out of felt. Elegant braid, thin lace and sequins.
Oval shaped like an icicle look good too
Master class on sewing a felt Christmas toy.
And here is a step-by-step MK in the photo - where you can see the whole process of making such a toy - layer by layer ...
Christmas toys made of felt WITH APPLICATION.
And on such a round ball of felt, you can make a felt appliqué (or fleece). For application it is better to use thin felt.
For the application of the Christmas tree - it is 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 application of a deer - you also need 2 shades of brown - one for the head, the other for the nose and horns.
You can make a snowman or Santa Claus applique.
If there is no white felt for the beard of Santa Claus and for the snowman- you can use a cotton pad. Only a cotton pad needs to be strengthened with PVA glue (soaked in glue, smoothed and dried - so that it becomes denser and cemented).
You can make interesting as if STAGE PLOTS on such felt material ... A snowman who rejoices in the snow ... A bunny under a Christmas tree, birds are circling and flowers bloom in the snow
DEER made of felt - like pendants-toys for the Christmas tree.
A deer made of felt is easy to sew… just a head with ears and horns… in the middle there is an appliqué of a nose… and beads of an eye…
Or maybe whole torso carve deer... Here's how in the photo below ... and then the ribbons do not need to be sewn to the head - but you can let them go like a collar around the deer's neck.
FATHER FROST from felt - and other characters for Christmas toys.
Santa Claus may have the most varied pattern. It is very easy to do it yourself. You can simply draw a Santa Claus HEAD - any shape - in the shape of a circle... in the shape of a bell... in the shape of a triangle...
CAN make Santa Claus - WHOLE...with torso... Moreover, the body can be completely SCHEMATIC ... just teardrop-shaped ... (as if he hid his hands in a long fur coat).
Or you can draw the outlines of the arms and legs on the pattern - make applications of mittens on the tummy ... and a black belt (as in the right photo below).
You can make Santa Claus with handles and legs in the form of a rope to (string can be replaced with a chain of crocheted air loops). He will hang out funny on the Christmas tree.
If you sew Santa Claus from THIN felt, then a beard can be made not in the form of a flat application ... but like a panicle of cut strips of felt(as in the right photo below). Such Santa Claus does not have to be hung on a spruce branch - you can simply put him under the tree
And here are some more funny New Year's characters - a flat penguin and a snowman to decorate spruce legs.
And you can also make a Hedgehog ... and a LADYBUG ... they also turn out bright and will look good as Christmas tree toys.
Christmas tree made of felt - New Year's crafts with your own hands.
If you want your Christmas tree to stand out against the background of spruce, then it is better to make it from bright paired colors - RED + WHITE ... ORANGE + GREEN ...
Such a Christmas tree made of felt can be decorate with buttons- it is better to use buttons of no more than three colors (to be stylish, not chaotic). You can also add a small felt Christmas wreath to such a Christmas tree craft.
You can make several TIERS of a Christmas tree from different colors ... layer them like pancakes on top of each other. You get a three-dimensional effect.
Can you do it on a Christmas tree? mini flower applique- petals from oval sequins and the middle from round. Or an applique made of paper in the form of a heart ... and sew a star button on top.

Or these feathered titmouse birds ... with a tail appliqué.
Birds on the Christmas tree are always fortunate ...
May your felt crafts delight you and your loved ones this year - and I'm sure next year too.
After all, it will be so nice every year to get them out of the box and decorate the Christmas tree.
AND HERE IS THE PRIZE...
For those who have read to the end... I treat DELICIOUS IDEAS ... Christmas pancakes. These are the New Year's surprise breakfasts you can make for your children.)))
The Christmas tree is a stack of pancakes (folded in a triangle) ... a star is carved from an orange ... berries decorate the Christmas tree like balls.
And the deer is created from three pancakes - one is the smallest for the nose. Horns can be made from toasted bread or ruddy sausages. And you can draw horns with sour cream on a dark plate ... or jam on a white plate ...

Greetings, my dears! We continue the magical theme of preparing for the New Year. Let me remind you that we previously made and considered. That's not all, and today we figure out what kind of New Year's toys you can make from felt with your own hands. This material is affordable and easy to use, so even a novice child can handle it.
It is not expensive, it has many shades. And what crafts only from it will not be invented. Last year I wrote and gave patterns of different.
Today we will consider Christmas trees, deer, mittens and other paraphernalia of the new year. Of course, let's pay attention to the symbol of 2019 - the pig.
Let's talk a little about the nuances of working with this felt:
If you decide to sew all the details, then let's look at what types of seams are.
You can see that the edges of the crafts are beautifully finished. You can do this both by machine and by hand. If you prefer the latter option, then here is a buttonhole for you to note.
You can also see that the internal parts are processed with a “forward needle” seam.
Or "over the edge".
The "Tambour" type of seam looks beautiful.
Of course, someone even embroiders with satin stitch on their products, but the listed seams are enough for a novice craftswoman to create a very beautiful handicraft.
So, we considered the types of seams in advance. Practice them a little, but don't put off creating for later. After all, initially the toy can be glued.
What is simple and easy to make for inexperienced craftswomen or children? In my opinion, snowmen, mittens, balls and Christmas trees are the most suitable options.
Here is an idea for you where the parts are glued.
Well, let's continue about the snowmen. To get started, a few simple ideas for inspiration, and then step-by-step master classes.
Here we will already use a buttonhole seam to connect and process the edge.
Now consider the master class itself, how to make such a cute snowman face for the Christmas tree.
Master class №1. Snowman
You will need the bare minimum: three sheets of white, red and orange felt; scissors; threads; filler; decor.
Cut out 2 parts of the ball from a white sheet (you can use a cotton pad as a template). On the face, draw or make knots eyes, mouth. Glue the orange felt carrot.
We cut the hat, we need two parts. In length, it is equal to the diameter of the muzzle. We glue 1 side of the hat onto a blank with a muzzle, glue the second part onto an empty white round blank.
Now we put a loop of tape or thread between them and sew the edges with a buttonhole seam. We leave a small part not sewn up to fill the toy with filler. Then we sew the edge and decorate the craft.
Master class number 2.
Another easy step by step tutorial. All steps are shown in the instruction photo.
If you are not yet very confident in your abilities, then choose simple shapes - a ball, a triangle, a heart. Already from them you get a lot of ideas for creativity - look.
Master class number 3. Christmas tree
These holiday trees are also very simple. But let's look at how to do such a craft.
So, we will take felt, a triangular template made of paper, curly scissors, a pencil, filler, threads and a needle and decor.
We transfer the template to the fabric. Cut out two pieces with curly scissors.
On the front side we make knots for beauty. You can replace them with decor. Then, with a “forward needle” seam, we connect both parts, after inserting a loop of tape or cord inside. We leave its very bottom not sewn up and stretch the filler there. We sew the cut and rejoice at the craft.
Let's also watch a video where the whole process of making the simplest toys is given step by step.
I think that almost every little man will be able to repeat the actions of the craftswoman.
Master class on making volumetric crafts "Ball"
Now we will greatly complicate the task - so that you do not relax. Let's take and sew soft voluminous Christmas balls for decoration. They can act as pillows and even.
Take: thin felt, threads.
The pattern is attached after the description of the work process. There are two schemes for the ball: large and small.
So, we transfer the selected scheme to the fabric and cut out the details. You need to take 6 pieces. Then, from the wrong side, we sew all the workpieces with threads, leaving a place from one edge.
We turn the part on the front side and fill it with holofiber or padding polyester.
We cut out the remaining details from the pattern from the silver fabric and make a suspension for the ball. We sew all the blanks together and fix them on our bulk crafts. Take a string as a hanger.
Patterns for the ball. 
That's all. You can repeat this craft from different types of fabric.
Toys for the New Year "Herringbone" for children, master classes
Christmas trees are also made quite simply. And they have many configurations, decoration ideas.
for example, you can make crafts with eyes, or with handles, legs, with a hat, etc.
Master class number 1. Christmas tree with eyes
According to the instructions below, you can make such a beauty.
For naughty crafts, you need to take green and brown sheets of felt, filler, scissors, a pattern and decorations.
So, we cut out two identical parts. We decorate them with thread knots and crosses, stars. We sew on the eyes and designate the mouth with a seam “Forward a needle” in one thread. Now we sew the edges with a looped seam or “over the edge”. We fill the toy through the barrel and close this hole with threads. 
Pattern - Tree of parts. All branches are marked with numbers so that you do not get confused, you need to cut 2 pieces of each part.
Master class number 2. simple tree
Here is a very easy toy idea. Cut out a four-pointed star and sew the rays together. Fill the craft and decorate it with decor.
Master class number 3. 3D Christmas tree
And how to make a tree for decoration? Yes, just my dears. It is important to see the entire stage of work just once.
Two identical parts are cut out. Then incisions are made. On one side, right up to the middle. On the other side, exactly to the middle, but already from below. Blanks are inserted into these cuts and the tree is almost ready.
Decorate the branches and praise yourself for the beauty.
Master class number 4.
Another step by step guide. Shown in great detail.
Master class number 5. Garland
Here is a step-by-step production of a multi-colored felt garland. I think there is no point in explaining here, everything is very clearly shown. To ensure that the cord that connects all the parts is not visible, use two sides of the Christmas tree. Pass the string through them, and glue the edges. This will work out very neatly. 
patterns
A very unusual craft made from different types of felt. The diagram is attached.
Master class number 6.
Another detailed tutorial. Take: felt, thread, filler, decor and ribbon.
According to this pattern, cut out two pieces of fabric.
We decorate both sides of the suspension with knots or decor.
To one we glue a ribbon or cord folded in half.
We cover this side with the second part and sew the edges. We push the filler through a small hole and sew the edge. 
According to this scheme, you can make many variations of toys. Look here, there is a machine seam.
And here comes the manual. 
You can combine colors to get a more unusual craft.
Flat toys also look interesting. You need to decorate only one side of the workpiece.
