Nuances of work: how to make felt decorations for the New Year with your own hands
No matter how much you want to download the first pattern you come across and plunge into an exciting workflow, it is worth, nevertheless, to get acquainted with the nuances of working with such material as felt.
The material is non-woven, which will be convenient during work: the edges of the product will not be sprinkled. It's not even worth stopping at the choice of color: the color palette is extensive, there will always be something according to your taste.
Advice! For making toys, the best option would be wool blend Italian felt. But the synthetic material is suitable for allergy sufferers and, moreover, is less fluffy.
If you are planning a voluminous toy with different small details, then it is better to take a 3 mm thick material for the base, and 1 mm thick for decoration.
The products are stuffed with synthetic winterizer or holofiber, and the threads are used of medium thickness. If you take thin ones, the edge will tear, and thick ones will leave noticeable holes.

You can attract a child to such an activity as sewing felt toys on a Christmas tree. He will be happy to sew a felt tree according to the pattern, help with the decoration of the products and suggest an idea for decoration himself. Snowmen, angels, animals, birds and even flowers are made for the New Year.
Snowmen made of felt
The snowman is a great felt toy for the New Year. The white color of the non-woven fabric will look good on the tree, so we don't miss the opportunity to cut and sew a cute snowman.
The work process is simple:
- We make a pattern of two circles: one is larger than the other.
- Draw circles on the felt and cut them out. Two circles of different sizes for one snowman.
- Cut out scarves from felt of a different color using curly scissors.
- On a smaller circle, create a face for the toy: beads or beads become eyes, cut out small carrots from orange material.
- Handles can be made by crocheting a pigtail. In the absence of such an opportunity, the braid will be completely replaced by a braid of black or brown color. Cut out small mittens from a different color and glue them to the braid.
- We will prepare loops for hanging from braid or ribbon.
- We sew a larger circle, not forgetting to fill it with padding polyester or other filler. Then we sew a smaller circle, also filling it. Before closing the hole on the head of the toy, insert a loop for hanging. Now you can sew up!
- We sew two circles together, one slug goes after the other. We immediately sew on the handles and tie a scarf.
It turns out several figures of snowmen, which can also be used as a set for creating a garland.
Felt angels
To create the most delicate angel, we use pastel colors of non-woven material: cream, light beige, pale yellow, milky brown. It is not necessary to embroider the face, you can simply draw it: the eyes are painted with black acrylic paint, and dry pastels are applied to the cheeks.
The workflow can be described as follows:
- We cut out all the template parts, and then use them to prepare the felt parts. We only need two, apart from the wings. They are cut in a single copy.
- We start by stitching the legs. Fill them with padding polyester and set them aside for now.
- It was the turn of the dress. With threads to match the dress, we move in small stitches from one edge to the bottom. When we sew the bottom, we immediately sew the legs to the dress. We continue to sew the dress and when we reach the neckline, we make a knot and fill the body with filler. You can push it with scissors.
- The head is sewn together immediately with the hair. But first, a face is drawn on one detail. Blush is applied with a soft dry brush, and the eyes - with the tip of a toothpick. The head is filled from the side of the neck and sutured.
- Superglue glue the neck of the dress and the head of the figure with a little overlap.
- We fill the handles and sew them together with the dress, pointing them slightly down.
- We sew the heart, not forgetting to fill it, and glue it to the hands.
- At the last stage, from the back, we glue the wings, which will hide the junction of the head with the body.
If you want to use a toy as a pendant, it is better to sew a small button to your head, and then attach a thread for hanging through it.

You should get two details of the muzzle of each color. Cut out three noses and three pairs of horns from brown-black felt.
We embroider a smile (in 4 threads) on all three muzzles with a red thread.
Sew the back and front of the muzzle clockwise, starting from the left ear. After the ear we insert the horn and sew it together with the muzzle (i.e. three layers of felt), then the ribbon, the second horn and sew the second ear.
The tape should be cut to such a length that it would be convenient to hang it on the tree later. Fold the ribbon in half and tie the ends in a knot. In this case, it will definitely not jump out of the toy. When stitching with a toy, the ribbon knot should be inside the muzzle.

As you can see, there may be several options. Even children can make simple felt products, such as magnets or deer-shaped key rings.
How to sew a deer
In order for you to get a beautiful and neat felt deer, the pattern must be chosen correctly. The template should be selected in accordance with the experience and level of training of the needlewoman. For beginners, options are suitable, consisting of a minimum number of parts and, accordingly, seams. When you master simple souvenirs, you can move on to more complex products, bulky soft toys that are sewn from more parts.
The general sequence of work will be as follows:
- Cut out a template from paper that you can print from the Internet or draw yourself.
- Place the details on the pieces of felt, pin with pins, outline the outlines with chalk. If necessary, add allowances and cut out the elements.
- Sweep or immediately sew neatly by hand or on a typewriter all the necessary parts. Felt is good because it does not require processing of the sections, since it does not crumble, so you can sew the elements even on the front side.
- Turn out the stitched parts if sewing from the inside out. If you worked on the front, skip this step.
- Fill the finished product or individual blanks (depending on the complexity of the object) with holofiber or other prepared material.
- Sew up the holes left for the stuffing.
- Connect all the parts into one object.
- Sew on or glue on small decor (ears, eyes).
All is ready.
Materials and tools
You will need the following to create a beautiful New Year's reindeer:
- pattern;
- pins;
- felt;
- scissors;
- threads;
- needle;
- sewing machine;
- filler (holofiber, cotton wool, synthetic winterizer);
- glue;
- any additional decor (beads, ribbons, bows, sequins).
If you are going to make magnets, you will need a base (magnetic strip), for a key ring - a chain, braid or ribbon.
Deer from felt: a pattern for applique
Below are the options for simple products. According to them, even a beginner will get a beautiful New Year's deer. The pattern in this case should consist of one, maximum pair of parts that will have to be stitched. You can simply glue small elements onto the base. It is easy to make a magnet, a keychain, a Christmas tree or just an interior decoration using these templates.
The first option looks more realistic, and the second template looks like a simplified cartoon character's face. The horns and ears of these figures can be made flat or voluminous by sewing to the base. It is even easier to complete the entire form as a whole.
It is easy to sew a decoration for gift wrapping using these templates, or to make a magnet or key chain using the same principle. For double-sided things, you will need to make two identical parts so that you cannot see the threads on the back side, which were used to sew small elements. If the eyes and muzzle are glued, one head blank is enough.
Deer toy pattern
Below is a diagram according to which you can sew a three-dimensional figure of a character, but this option is more complicated. It is best performed by a person with experience. The first diagram shows a template. You can decorate a wreath with it or just make a souvenir of this shape.
To create such a voluminous toy, you need to carve out the following elements:
- ears - 4 pieces (two brown blanks, two pink);
- horns - 4 pieces (pair for one horn);
- head - 2 parts;
- nose - 1 piece.
All elements are sewn on the wrong side. Remember to leave a filling hole. Before turning it out, it is worth making neat cuts in places of complex shape transitions so that later the parts have a flat surface. If you do not want to complicate the work, felt is easy to sew on the front side (even if we are talking about a complex product), but the seams must be neat and even.
The following pattern allows you to create a complete toy in a simple way. The head can be made flat or sewn from two identical parts. The torso is performed in the same way.
So, you saw how a deer is made of felt. The pattern of a soft toy, an applique pattern and any of the options presented deserves attention and can be used as an idea for creating a New Year's gift. Choose, sew, craft. Create beautiful souvenirs with your own hands.
