Felt - bright, durable material, ideal for all kinds of crafts. Thanks to a simple scheme, you can easily and beautifully make any thing - from children's and Christmas tree toys to bags and hats. In this article, we will consider different types of felt applications.

Peculiarities

Felt is not woven, but produced by dry felting from animal hair with the addition of synthetic fibers.

It is similar to felt, but thinner and more aesthetic.

Felt works look dense and colorful. The edges do not need to be processed, the material does not crumble, does not stretch, does not deform.

Applications are performed not only on canvas, clothes, bags. All sorts of things and toys are made of felt, which are complemented by applications from the same material. For example, a voluminous mushroom is sewn from felt, onto which bright leaves, insects, grass are glued, cut from pieces of felt fabric of different shades.

How to make houses?

Desirable toys for children 2-3 years old will be soft houses, which are easy to make with your own hands.

Before starting work on the gingerbread house, all the details for it should be made of cardboard. Using the obtained templates and chalk, the contours of each element are transferred onto the felt, and then cut out.

When all the details are cut, take the brown felt walls of the house and join them with a blanket seam using white threads.

The white roof consists of four pieces, they must be sewn with a blind seam and then decorated with a blanket seam along the top. Decorate doors, stars, circles, and other decorative items in the same way.

Connect the roof to the walls. Since the house is gingerbread, all the small colored details will symbolize candies. Glue them to the walls and roof of the craft.

The white roof consists of four pieces, they must be sewn with a blind seam and then decorated with a blanket seam along the top. Decorate doors, stars, circles, and other decorative items in the same way.

Crafts on the theme "Autumn"

This is a broad theme that includes autumn flowers, fruits and vegetables harvest, trees with colorful foliage. We will make an autumn landscape.

Prepare all the details in advance. Cut from pieces of felt:

  • black wood;

  • orange and yellow leaves,

  • two blue clouds;

  • two blue puddles and water droplets;

  • green spruce.

Prepare a rectangular piece of gray felt. Lay out the cut out details on it so that you get a plot picture. Glue them on the highlighted places. Such a panel can be framed and presented to a friend.

Fruit making

Any fruits and berries can be made of felt, even in a cut, for example, a slice of watermelon or pomegranate with an open skin. We offer to make a red apple together.

Make templates out of cardboard according to the pattern shown in the figure (two halves of an apple, a leaf and a tail). Place them on a piece of felt, trace with a pencil, and cut out.

Sew both halves of the apple with a buttonhole and overlock stitch. In the process, do not forget to stop to sew in the ponytail, and leave some unfinished space on the side. Use it to insert synthetic fluff into the apple figurine for volume, then connect the parts completely.

Sew the leaf with a stitching and overcasting seam and attach to the ponytail. It turned out to be a pretty red apple.

More ideas

Any applique can be made of felt - food, landscape, transportation, people, animals, insects and birds. We offer master classes on various topics.

Animals

For figurine giraffe prepare templates, cut out felt details along them.

First, connect the nose with a padding polyester and sew it to the front blank of the giraffe.

In a chaotic manner, glue the brown felt spots on the animal's body.

Glue the ears and horns to the second blank (identical to the front one).

Sew both parts of the giraffe, leaving a hole for the filler. When you put the synthetic winterizer down, sew the figurine completely.

Insects

Let's make from felt butterfly.

Draw some butterflies with slotted wings on thick paper. One of them should be slightly smaller than the second, but otherwise try to make the figures identical. Attach the templates to the felt, trace with a pencil and cut out butterflies in different shades. Fold two butterflies into a single shape.

Take the chenille wire, bend it in half. Put on the bow tie so that the wire runs in the center on both sides of the figure from bottom to top. She will become the body for the insect.

Put a bead over the wire, it will become the head. Turn the ends of the wire in different directions - you get antennae. The carved openwork butterfly is ready.

  • little mischievous bee;

  • application of an ant on a development book;
  • beetle from a fairy tale.

Mushrooms

Most bright mushroom in the forest - fly agaric, we will try to do it.

We need red and white felt. Prepare parts from it, as shown in the picture.

Roll a strip of white felt into a roll and secure with thread. The leg is ready.

Sew along the contour of the red round piece with a thread and pull it off, but not completely.

Put a synthetic winterizer in the hole left, giving the cap volume.

Cover the padding polyester with a piece of cardboard.

Pull the thread tighter to form the head, leaving only a small hole. Put some glue in it.

Using a toothpick, carefully insert the stem of the mushroom into the hole and press down, trying to stick it to the cap.

Using a brush, paint peas on the cap of the fly agaric with white paint.

  • beautiful Christmas tree toys;

  • mushroom houses.

On the yellow version, embroider the eyes with black threads, and with red ones - lips in a smile.

Fold the two suns in such a way that the orange rays show through the yellow ones.

Sew a double sun in a circle with a connecting thread, marking his face. Do not forget to leave a place for the introduction of padding polyester.

Place the synthetic winterizer carefully into the figurine and sew the hole to the end.
