Master class - New Year's crafts “Good Santa Claus. How to sew Santa Claus from fabric with your own hands Toy Santa Claus with your own hands from improvised materials - a master class with step by step photos

In December, as usual, the kindergarten was told to make some crafts to decorate the group. After a little thought about what to do, I came up with this...

We will need:

  1. Two bottles of baby yogurt. One more - for Santa Claus. Another smaller one is for the Snow Maiden.
  2. Sintepon per meter, about 30 cm.
  3. A little nylon from nylon tights.
  4. Material for fur coats (velvet, velor, fleece, satin, etc. - to your taste). I have velor.
  5. Eyes. You can take ready-made eyes (like mine), you can mold them from clay or salt dough and paint them.
  6. Glue or glue gun.
  7. Scissors.
  8. Needle for handmade.
  9. Sewing machine. If there is none, you can sew all the details manually.
  10. Any knitting threads of white color for the hair of the Snow Maiden.
  11. Threads to match the fabric.

So let's start.
I have two of these bottles:

I publish a pattern of fur coats and sleeves. Change the pattern of the sleeves, and make the pattern of fur coats yourself. Measure the circumference of the neck of the bottle, add 1 cm for the "smell". The length of the fur coat is the height of the bottle plus 3-4 cm. Flare down from each edge 2-3 cm. Cut out the paper pattern. Lay on fabric. Trace around with a pencil or marker. Allowances do not need to be made. Cut out the outline of the fabric.

Tuck the upper cut 3-4 cm. Spread the top of the bottle with glue and wrap the bottle with material.

Here's what happened:

Now we take a synthetic winterizer and cut off a strip of 2 cm.

We apply glue to the fabric in places where we will have an edge, and glue the synthetic winterizer.

Fold the fabric in half. We take a pattern of hands and put it on the fabric. We circle. Then, without cutting, we sew on a sewing machine along the contour.

Cut out with 3-4 mm seam allowances.

Turn inside out and stuff lightly with padding polyester.

We sew the holes with a hidden seam.

Let's make a tightening for the thumb.

Now we will spread the glue on the place where we will have the edge of the sleeve.

We glue the synthetic winterizer in this place. We do the same with the second hand.

Now glue the arms to the body. To do this, apply glue to the upper part of the arm and place your hands on the shoulder area.

Here's what we got:

In the same way, we make the body for the Snow Maiden.

Engage your children in making New Year's crafts in advance, so that later you can celebrate the holiday in a special way. You can cut out snowflakes and shiny stars from foil, prepare greeting cards, glue multi-colored garlands. But you can't do without the figure of Santa Claus.

There are many different ways to make the main symbol of the New Year. One of the simplest and most affordable is Santa Claus made of cotton wool.

Decades ago, voluminous toys, including Santa Claus, made of cotton papier-mâché were very popular. Try to make a bright, original craft from cotton pads.




Master class: Santa Claus on the Christmas tree

In order for the toy to be hung on the Christmas tree, it must be light. Therefore, in addition to cotton pads, take:

  • a plastic empty bottle, for example, a bottle of vitamins;
  • felt-tip pens, paints;
  • scissors;
  • glue.

If you plan to put the craft, and not hang it, then you need to weight the bubble or take a glass one.


The bubble will be the body of the craft, it must be carefully pasted over with cotton pads. To make hands, divide the cotton pad into two parts. Twist each thin part with a bag and glue the wide part of the resulting bag on the sides of the body.

The head can be made in two ways:

  1. Blind from plasticine, preferably from light, and then paste over with cotton pads. Such a head can be easily attached to the lid - the “neck” of the figure. Also make a hat for Santa Claus from plasticine.
  2. The head is made of cotton wool using the felting method. Roll a ball out of pieces of cotton wool, gradually forming a craft of the desired size with soapy hands. After the head of the figurine is dry, coat it with a 1:1 solution of glue and water. Apply the solution with a brush. Glue the dried ball to the bubble cap. A hat can be made from a piece of material or knitted. To keep it better, put it on glue.


The craft is ready, but there is still not enough beard and fur coat for the figure to take on the appearance of Santa Claus.

Prepare paints or gouache. Decorate the fur coat red, leaving a white edge on the clothes. If you want to add expressiveness to the craft, glue a white edging of cotton pads on the sleeves and along the bottom of the fur coat on the dried paint. You can cut a large collar. Do not forget to paint the part of the hands where Santa Claus has "mittens".

Start painting your face. Add blush, carefully highlight the eyes, nose. From cotton pads, cut and glue a mustache and beard. It is enough to use 2-3 layers of cotton pads for a beard so that it is “fluffier”. Start gluing the beard from the bottom layer. Draw a mouth between the mustache and beard.


The real Santa Claus does not come without gifts, so make a bag for a toy - take any colored paper napkin, put a dense ball of cotton wool in it and tie it with a bright thin ribbon. The gift bag is ready.

A craft that will surely become a holiday decoration can be made not only using plastic bottles or glass vials. There are many options: paper, thread, clay, textiles. Be sure to involve children in the process of creating a Santa Claus figurine. Make a craft using cotton wool, colored paper or cardboard - this is one of the easiest ways, even kids will take part in it with pleasure.

Before making an application, draw the outlines of Santa Claus on paper. Here you can show all your imagination. Choose material for the cap, decorate the background of the application. Underline the contour of the figure with paints, a felt-tip pen or braid. Yes, and Santa Claus himself can be depicted standing, walking.


Master class: the original figure of Santa Claus

The unusual craft is that the face is not painted, but sculpted. If an artist takes up the work, then the New Year's character will be similar to a real grandfather.

For this craft you will need various materials:

  • foil;
  • salty dough;
  • wire;
  • beads, buttons;
  • brush, paints;
  • plastic bottle;
  • sintepon.

The frame of the head can be made of foil. In a ball of this shiny material, “pack” a piece of wire. Prepare salt dough for crafts and wrap it around the ball. Insert beads or small buttons in place of the eyes. And start sculpting the grandfather's face. Form cheeks and lips from pliable dough.

Using water, attach pieces of dough - nose, ears. Make small wrinkles on your face. Make sure that the facial expression is good-natured: Santa Claus is a kind character.

Then send the head to the oven to dry.

Now it's time to paint and varnish it.

The head must be attached to the body. To do this, select the appropriate size plastic bottle. Remove the cover from it and make a few holes in it. Insert the wire into the holes and twist.

Screw the cap together with the head to the bottle; you can use pebbles and pebbles for weighting.

With the approach of the New Year and Christmas, a special pre-holiday atmosphere reigns around - shop windows sparkle with colorful lights of garlands and bright Christmas tree decorations, businesslike passers-by rush with packages and bundles in their hands, and the spirit of magic is felt in the frosty air. As a rule, the last days of the outgoing year pass in pleasant chores and worries. Drawing up a New Year's menu, purchasing products for dishes, cleaning, decorating a Christmas tree - these are the main items on the list of pre-holiday things. However, both adults and children are happy to devote time to creating funny New Year's crafts for decorating the room before the holidays.

Gift to Santa Claus
New Year is coming
Everyone is waiting for it!
Frost brings gifts to everyone,
But no one will ask him
And no one notices
Maybe grandpa is dreaming
Get a gift too?
Seryozha ran up to him,
Divides the gum in half:
-Here, take this for you!
From attention and gift
Grandpa even got hot
He smiled at Seryozha,
And Santa Claus suddenly became younger!
Here is an invitation to take part in the New Year's competition prepared for parents.

Beyond the snow and beyond the ice
