And also a thick needle, threads to match the applique or moisture resistant. First, we find a suitable picture. It is best if it is just a silhouette. In the photo below, this is a bear figure, but you can choose any other that you and the baby like. We transfer the picture to felt, cut out and attach to felt boots using threads and needles, or using glue. That's all. This is the easiest option. If you want to complicate it a little, then you can make a multicolor applique of several characters or make additional decorative elements along the upper edge of the felt boot. Naturally, a more complicated version will take you more time to complete, but the result will also be more noticeable.

By the way, I would like to note that this option for decorating children's boots can also be suitable for girls. Just change the color and shape of the applique. This will help you find an easy solution on how to decorate felt boots for a girl. The main thing here is your imagination.

How to decorate children's boots? Universal option

Here's another original idea. Very often in a child's wardrobe there are things made in the form of animal faces. These can be hats, mittens, socks, and so on. So let's not forget about shoes and find out how you can decorate felt boots in the same style.

All you need for this is felt trims that match the shade of felt boots, fabric paints, a needle and thread, you can also purchase factory-made "eyes" and use a little imagination. You can get to work.

The photo shows two examples of felt boots made in the form of animal muzzles. For a boy, the option with a badger is more suitable, for a girl - with a cat. Basically, you can choose any other animal, maybe the baby will even tell you what he likes best. Decorating children's boots with your own hands in this style will not be difficult for you.

Valenki-badgers

The variant of felt boots in the form of a badger's muzzle involves the use of paint. After completing the staining, you can proceed to fixing the ears and eyes. For this, you can use either glue or a needle and thread. Use whatever is more familiar to you. Fasten the ears on the sides of the felt boots, place your eyes just below. A badger nose can be marked with paint, or made from a piece of felt or felt.

Cat faces

Valenki-cats are made in the same way. The only difference is in the shape of the ears and eyes, and the nose and mustache can be embroidered using knitting yarn. Yes, ponytails on felt boots also look very original. By placing them on the back, we will get even more resemblance to an animal than please the baby. Now you have met one more method that explains how to decorate felt boots.

Option for those who know how to knit

Here's another idea. But this option is only suitable for those who know how to knit. There is no need for glue or other additional materials. Knitting needles and yarn are all you need. Choose a yarn that matches your boots in color. Several bright colors can be used for children's shoes. Take a measurement along the upper girth of the felt boot and cast the appropriate number of loops on the knitting needles. For this knitting, you can use two knitting needles or five, whichever is more convenient for you. The advantage of the latter option is the absence of a seam on the finished canvas.

Work order

So, choose a suitable one (in the photo this is a combination of white and gray yarn) or embossed and knit a cloth of the required length. Then it is necessary to fix it on the inside of the felt boot and turn it to the front side. All - your unique felt boots are ready! These will be very difficult to miss.

Please note that this method of decorating children's boots is also suitable for both boys and girls. It all depends on the color and pattern. How to decorate felt boots, what colors to use, what width to make the lapel - decide for yourself, focusing on your taste.

The most difficult decor for felt boots

You will need embroidery needles, silk threads and a beautiful pattern. Of course, such work will be easier if you have the skills You only need to adapt to embroider on a felt surface. Perhaps the first time it will not work out very well, but, gaining experience and skill in the process of work, you will quickly master this technique. Agree that all the difficulties you overcome are worth the end result. After all, felt boots are inherently very durable. This means that more than one kid will be able to show off your work, listening to rave reviews from others.

The simplest ideas for decorating felt boots

But how you can decorate felt boots for those who always do not have enough time for these purposes.

For the first option, you will need bright yarn and a thick needle. We thread a piece of yarn through a needle and along the front of the boots we make embroidery that resembles lacing (large crosses). This will take you a maximum of 10 minutes. Leave the ends of the lacing made longer. We fasten brushes prepared in advance from the same yarn or pompons on them. We tie on a bow and wear such boots with pleasure.

For the second option, you will need a beautiful braid or lace, rhinestones and glue. Then it all depends on your imagination. The braid can be placed along the upper edge of the felt boots, and the rest of the surface can be decorated with rhinestones. It is very convenient to do this with a glue gun and does not take much time. But the result obtained will definitely not go unnoticed.

Both of these simple ways to decorate will answer your question: "How to decorate felt boots for girls?"

And in order to adapt these options for men, you can simply change the color of the yarn in the first version, and in the second, replace the braid and rhinestones, for example, with decorative chains and military-style jewelry (stars, anchors, buckles, and so on).

So winter came into its own and the cold came. In order not to get cold, walking along the snow-covered streets, you should take care of comfortable, warm and, of course, beautiful shoes.

Now painted felt boots are at the height of fashion. In such models, the emphasis is not on the shoes themselves, but on the choice of color schemes. You can buy the most ordinary felt boots and decorate them with an interesting and bright pattern. Believe me, these shoes will attract a lot of enthusiastic looks.

That is why we have prepared a master class and ideas for inspiration on how to paint felt boots with your own hands, turning them into the most fashionable shoes of this winter. An original thing for a penny!

How to paint boots with your own hands

To create this beauty, you will need PVA glue and acrylic paints, gauze or other thin fabric and an iron. To prevent acrylic paint from being absorbed into the fleecy surface of the felt boots, but to lay down in an even layer, the boots must first be covered with PVA glue, only in the part where the pattern will be. Wait until the glue dries, and then create with paints.

Choose the pattern you like, transfer the drawing to the felt boots using a piece of remnant or a pencil, mirror the drawing onto another felt boot and paint with paints.

Leave the boots to dry for 5-8 hours. Then iron them thoroughly (no steam!) Through cheesecloth or a thin cloth. After drying, acrylic paints take on a richer color.

That's it, now you can run in them through the snowdrifts - they are not afraid of water and dirt. Valenki can be washed 2 days after painting, and you or your children are not afraid of winter frosts!

Tricks

Perhaps the fastest and easiest way that will allow you to decorate these unusual woolen shoes with your own hands is embroidery with satin ribbons. In order to perform this kind of embroidery you will need:

felt boots;
satin ribbons of different colors;
scissors;
threads;
a needle with a wide eye;
spoke;
crayon or regular pencil.

We have chosen a bright floral motif to decorate our boots, and you can opt for any drawing or pattern you like.

First, you will need to carefully transfer the selected scheme to the boot, or make a small schematic sketch on it yourself. To do this, you need a regular crayon, which can be easily wiped off the surface later.

Pay attention to the fact that first of all it is necessary to embroider large flowers, then the buds, and only after that you can start embroidering the stems, leaves and cores. Since the seamy side of our product must also be neat, we will have to abandon the transitions with ribbons. Instead, having finished one piece, we will need to secure the tape and cut it. To complete the next part, you will again need to fasten the ribbon on the seamy side of the product.

When choosing ribbons, pay special attention to the fact that a 3.6 mm wide ribbon will easily pass through this product, but for a wider ribbon - 12 mm, you will have to additionally pick out a small hole with a knitting needle. Separately, I would like to note that ribbon embroidery can also be combined with cross-stitch or back stitch.

Here are some original and stylish embroidered felt boots we got.

If you did not like the drawing we have chosen very much, we can offer you such wonderful and light patterns that can also be embroidered with multi-colored ribbons on felt boots.

Snowflakes

In addition, the so-called pseudo lacing can be made from ribbons on felt boots. To do this, in the front you will need to sew on the actual lacing itself, through which you then pass the tape in a contrasting color. If you wish, you can later tie it to a beautiful bow.

How to embroider a pattern on felt boots

Modern women of fashion have long been accustomed to decorating their clothes with various embroidery, which is probably why you can increasingly see boots with embroidery in the wardrobe of many girls and women. This seemingly ordinary and nondescript winter shoe instantly transforms after a beautiful unusual pattern or ornament appears on it.

So, in order to make felt boots with embroidery, you need to prepare all the necessary materials and tools in advance:

threads: floss, synthetic, silk, cotton;
felt boots;
scissors;
drawing;
pencil, crayon or small remnant;
thimble;
a thick needle (it is also often called "Gypsy").

Valenki, unlike ordinary fabric, on which we are all accustomed to embroider "thicker" ones, and therefore we need a large needle and thimble. In addition, it is necessary to check in advance the threads selected for work and make sure that they will not "climb" during the operation of the shoe.

As a rule, felt boots are embroidered with a cross or satin stitch, although in some cases a regular stitch is also used. Additionally, such embroidery can be decorated with sequins, bugles or beads.

We start directly to work.

First select the drawing you like. Then fix the dense canvas firmly on the felt boot.

It is worth noting that smaller details are usually embroidered with a cross. As a rule, all the rows are embroidered in turn, but some needlewomen prefer to embroider in squares.

Large details are embroidered with satin stitch, trying to make the stitches "fit" as tightly as possible to each other. In order for the selected part to become more convex, you must first embroider it with thick threads, and only then, on top of them, make neat stitches with threads of the desired colors.

After finishing work, you will need to slightly wet the canvas and carefully pull out its soaked fibers with tweezers.

Here are some wonderful and stylish hand-made felt boots we got.

How to decorate ordinary felt boots with beads

Now we will conduct a small master class that will tell you how you can embroider ordinary felt boots with beads and turn them into exclusive and bright winter shoes. Before starting work directly, let's prepare everything you need in advance:

ordinary felt boots;
beads of different colors;
threads that can be used for basting;
nylon threads;
bead needle (with a thin eye);
bugles.

Getting started.

First of all, you need to find a suitable pattern or come up with one yourself. When choosing a pattern, be sure to take into account the color of your boots, and the size of the bootleg, or rather the side of it.

If you are at a loss with the choice of colors for embroidery, you can first attach beads and bugles of the selected shades to the felt boots in order to see how they will be combined with your shoes.

In addition, you need to select in advance nylon threads that will match in color with the felt boots themselves.

Then on the felt boots you will need to make a "basting" seam, which will go right along the contour of the selected pattern. To do this, you will need threads that will be clearly visible on the felt boots. Thanks to the presence of such a contour, you can easily sew on beads on the site of your choice.

Pay attention to the fact that on black felt boots you can draw a pattern with a remnant, but not on lighter ones. However, keep in mind that you will not be able to draw a thin, neat outline on felted wool.

Sew on the beads quite tightly so that there are no gaps between them. After passing the needle through the wall of the felt boot, put a bead on it, and then, grabbing a little wool, sew a couple more beads in this way. After that, the needle will again need to pierce the bootleg through and through.

After you have sewn on all the beads, you will need to secure the thread from the wrong side.
Then, sewing on the bugles using the "through" seam, make an outline for your design.

At the end of the work, you just have to remove the "basting" seams from the product.

Look at the photo, and you will see what an amazing drawing turned out on the boots we selected.

As you yourself have probably already noticed, self-made embroidery can transform even such seemingly ordinary and uninteresting shoes as felt boots almost beyond recognition. Colorful, unusual embroidery on felt boots will allow you to stand out from the crowd and feel like a bright individual. Thanks to such shoes, you will look very stylish and modern even in winter.

Instructions

If you want to embroider a rather complex, detailed picture, use a technique. Choose a pattern online, in a magazine, or draw it yourself on checkered paper. Attach an overhead canvas to the felt boot - it can be removed from under the embroidery by pulling one thread at a time. Tie the canvas around the perimeter so that it does not move as you work.

Sew the pattern in rows. You can fill each square individually by swiping the needle from the lower left corner to the upper right, then to the upper left and lower right. Or, first embroider half of the crosses in the entire row, then go back to the beginning of the row and add the missing halves. To prevent the threads from getting tangled on the inside of the felt boot, fasten and cut the thread before returning to the beginning of the row, embroider the remaining halves of the crosses with a new one. When the drawing is ready, moisten it with a spray bottle to soak the starched canvas, then pull the canvas out with tweezers.

A pattern with larger details can be embroidered with satin stitch. In this case, transfer the contours of the image directly to the felt boot. You can use tissue paper or freehand sketch with a ballpoint or gel pen. Make the drawing a couple of millimeters smaller than necessary so that the stitches protruding beyond the outline cover the sketch lines. Fill in with close-knit stitches. If you want to make embossed embroidery, make one layer with thick threads, and close them on top with threads of the desired color. The top layer can be attached both to the felt boot (if it is thin enough), and to the "backing" threads.

It will look unusual. Sewing on each bead separately is inconvenient - the base is too thick. Instead, string the beads onto a long string. Lay it on the pattern in advance and attach with small stitches across the warp thread. To do this, use thin threads that match the color of the felt boots. In the same way, you can embroider with colored ribbons or braid.

For embroidery to be combined with the texture of boots, choose thick enough threads. Wool or synthetic material of the same thickness, or cotton crochet thread will do. For such threads, select a gypsy needle with a fairly wide eye.

During work, you will have to make quite significant efforts to pierce the felt boot through. Be sure to use a thimble to push the needle. You can also try not to pull through it, but pry only the top layer of the base.

Before starting work, check how well the selected threads are dyed. After all, they can shed from contact with snow. Soak a short piece of thread in water, then lay on a white cloth. If there are no colored marks left, the threads can be used.
