Felt is an amazing material. In addition to the fact that it has softness and a variety of colors, it is easy and convenient to work with it. The fabric is unpretentious: it is easy to wash, cut, sew and iron. In other words, for beginners - the best option.

Handmade felt crafts can be both practical and decorative. This can be considered another advantage of the material - versatility and practicality. By choosing the right color scheme and carefully studying the master classes, even a beginner will be able to create a neat and beautiful product.

What do you need to work

A quick look at photos of felt crafts from various needlework sites can inspire confidence that not everyone can do this art. However, when turning detailed diagrams manufacturing, it becomes clear that each step of the work does not require special skills.

In order for the work to be successful and needlework to bring pleasure, you need to create the appropriate atmosphere. Since you have to work with a fabric, you will need a flat horizontal surface (table, stand, etc.) for applying patterns and cutting the material.

If it is not possible to single out a separate zone, it is important to ensure that the surface is clean before work, otherwise the product will have to be washed ahead of time.

Second important condition for work is lighting. Natural or artificial - it does not matter, but the light should illuminate the workplace well. This will ensure the accuracy of the master at all stages of work.

The last but not least requirement is a place to store needlework. It is not a fact that the craft will be completed in one go, but it is dangerous to leave a half-baked product unattended, especially if there are children in the house. Therefore, at the same time as purchasing all the components for work, it is worth getting a capacious box with a lid, in which you can hide “semi-finished products” for a while.

By the way, before going for fabric and other components, a novice master should familiarize himself with the schemes of felt crafts on the net. So the beginner will get an idea of ​​the volume of the required material, and will also decide on the first models, which means he will understand what colors to buy. The complete list of items needed will include:

• pieces of felt of different colors;
• scissors;
• a set of threads similar and contrasting with the selected felt colors;
• a set of needles of different thicknesses;
• pencils (2 - light and dark colors);
• glue gun;
• decor elements.

With regard to the last item on the list, the choice can be varied. Based on a specific template or on your own imagination, you can use buttons, beads, rhinestones, thermal applications in your work.

Also, if it is planned to manufacture voluminous crafts, it is worth stocking up on stuffing material. Today, holofiber is used for this purpose. It keeps its shape perfectly and does not give in to deformation. If there are no other options, you can use scraps of soft fabric.

We sew from felt with our own hands

The most interesting for beginners are felt crafts that have a decorative character. Often these are small toys, key rings or even Christmas tree decorations.

The manufacturing algorithm for all crafts will have general form. You will need to separately cut blanks from the material of the selected color, according to the diagram. Then, using thread or glue, connect all the parts together.

Felt lion cub

• sand and brown fabric;
• threads of the same colors plus black;
• needle;
• scissors;
• two beads are big size(black or dark brown).

If the toy is created without a diagram, you can draw the contours of the animal yourself. This should be done on thick paper, so that later it can be correctly transferred to the fabric. In this case, you will need to draw separately without small details:

• body - 4 paws and the body is fused;
• mane;
• tail;
• muzzle with ears.

Then the contours are cut out and transferred to the fabric. Moreover, the body and mane must be cut in two copies, as elements that will have volume.

When the blanks are made, the paired elements are stitched along the contour with small stitches. It is better to take threads of the same color as the felt. The parts should not be completely sewn up, leaving room for stuffing material. To finished toy looked complete, you need to leave room for stuffing in the lower part of the mane and in the upper part of the body (closer to the front legs). The hind legs have a tail sewn in.

When the stuffing material is evenly distributed within the elements, the torso is sewn up first. Then, the mane is put on with the unsewn part on the body and sewn through it.

A muzzle is sewn on top of the mane in the center. On it, the contours of the mouth and nose are embroidered with dark threads, and beady eyes are sewn on. The lion cub is ready.
