Christmas snowman

Toy Santa Claus with his own hands will bring a holiday to any home. Believe it or not in a magical old man with a bunch of gifts in a bag, every interior is full of his images. But the children believe in him unconditionally, therefore, making a craft in the form of Santa Claus, they probably expect the real one, bringing them a whole mountain of long-awaited gifts. Present your children with a real fairy tale and make with them a doll, paper, plasticine - any Santa Claus that your imagination only draws. And if our photos with interesting ideas add inspiration for creation, then so much the better.

Santa Claus with his own hands

We will devote our entire article to how to make Santa Claus with our own hands. Indeed, in fact, crafts can be very diverse: sewing, felting, knitting, applique, painting and modeling. Well, we'll start with decoupage.

This plate with the image of Santa Claus is made using decoupage technique. A beautiful napkin with a pattern must be divided into layers, you only need the topmost one, in fact, the one on which the pattern is applied.

If you are decorating a plate or any object whose surface you will not use, then you can use PVA glue for work. But in this work, the technique of reverse decoupage is used, that is, a transparent glass plate is taken and a napkin is glued on the back side, and from the front it will shine through.

So, on the back surface, degreased with alcohol, put a napkin and moisten it with water. Make sure that the napkin is well soaked, but not parted. Be sure to remove excess water with a cotton swab. While the paper is still damp, coat the surface of the napkin with a thin layer of acrylic varnish. It should be applied with a narrow brush, moving from the center. The varnish should dry for a fairly long time, about twelve hours. If you want, you can apply another layer, also taking enough time to dry. Patterns, ornaments are applied to the clean surface of the plate using acrylic paint, you can paint over the entire surface of the plate with paint. One more layer of acrylic varnish will complete the craft.

Do-it-yourself santa claus made of felt

And such a Grandfather Frost with his own hands can decorate your New Year tree. It is made of felt, and we already know that it is completely simple to perform.

To sew the toy, you will need small pieces of white, beige and red felt. Of course, it's a pity to buy large cuts to make such a crumb out of them, but you can make many such Santa Clauses and present them to all your friends and acquaintances.

On paper, draw a pattern for your craft, you will need five elements - a head and a beard, a face, an edge, a hat, a mustache.
We cut out one element from beige felt - a face, from red - two elements of a hat.
From white we cut out two elements of the head with a beard, edges and mustaches.
Now we create a mustache and a hat, we do not completely sew the elements together, we fill them with filler.
On one part of the head we glue the beige face with glue. Moment, we sew two parts of the head, fill them with silicone filler.
We put the hat on the top of the head, fix the bottom with a pin, put the edge on the bottom and sew it with hand stitches. At the same time fixing the cap.
You need to sew on the edge both from the front side and from the seamy side, but we cut out two elements with you.
A voluminous mustache, beaded eyes and a nose made of felt with silicone rolled into a roll are sewn onto the beige felt.
The end of the hat is crowned with an elegant bell with a braid for hanging the toy.

You can also make a simple felt card with Santa Claus. You don't even need a pattern - just show your imagination and creativity. For beginners, we recommend that you first make a paper sketch of the craft, and only then transfer it to felt fabric. Use glue to bond the pieces of fabric together.

Santa Claus do it yourself from paper

New Year is a great reason to make an applique on a greeting card. And who will decorate our applique better than Santa Claus with his own hands from paper? You can glue either simple pieces of colored paper, or strips folded using the quilling technique. In the second case, it will be more effective. If everything is more or less clear with the figure of Santa Claus, then we will tell you in more detail how to make a Christmas tree. You will need sheets of double-sided colored paper. Cut stripes out of it, but not even, but with small sides two centimeters and a centimeter. Use scissors to cut the fringe on one side of the strips and roll with a wooden skewer, starting at the narrow edge. When you have rolled up the entire strip, fix the even edge with glue, and gently straighten the fringe so that the element becomes as flat as possible. You need a lot of such patterns, you will need to lay them out and glue them on paper in the shape of a herringbone. Decorate the middle of the elements with rolled up colored stripes.

With the help of thick paper or cardboard, you can make other important attributes, for example, make a Santa Claus sleigh with your own hands. It can be, or you can use rolled newspaper tubes for the base, and we suggest you make a sled based on an old machine, from which the body has already been removed. You need to cut four elements out of cardboard - the sides of the sled, the back and the front. You can color the sleigh with pencils and paints, and rhinestones or shiny stickers will add a snowy winter texture. You can put in your sleigh not only Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, but also put a bag or a box with a gift in them.

Sew Santa Claus with your own hands

The fabric can be used to make toys that you will never buy in the store. You can sew Santa Claus with your own hands and your child will simply be delighted with this toy. Santa Claus tilde gained immense popularity.

A distinctive feature of these wonderful dolls is a cute facial expression, but at the same time very small facial features, as if just outlined, ruddy cheeks, chubby tummy shapes, long legs and arms, Natural, soft fabrics that are always used for sewing tildes are welcomed by all mothers, as the child will be pleasant to play with such toys and safe.

You can not only sew a figure or a Santa Claus costume with your own hands, but also knit. A knitted figurine will be a favorite toy, and if it is not filled with filler, then such dolls can be used for a homemade puppet theater.

How to sew Santa Claus with your own hands

But Santa Claus can be not only a toy, but also an ornament for a bag with gifts. We will tell you how to sew Santa Claus with your own hands and place it on the packaging for New Year's souvenirs, which we can then present to our relatives or friends. You can embroider the face of Santa Claus with a satin stitch or a cross, you can make a fabric one with glue, or you can make a crocheted element that you will then sew on a bag. It is done quite simply - the first row of loops is closed in a ring and tied with single crochet columns. When the circle is already of sufficient size, tie it with several circles of snow-white thread, then change the thread to red and tie a hat. Pass long white threads into the bottom row with loops, and then trim the resulting beard with scissors. Make a red nose, like a real Santa Claus, from threads tied in a circle. The resulting element is sewn to the finished bag tightly enough. It is better to tie the top of the bag with an elegant ribbon.

For the simplest Santa Claus with his own hands, the patterns will also be the simplest. These are two large balls - one for the body, one for the head. Having cut out the circles, we fold each of them in half, we bind at the bottom with a thread not to the end, and when we have already stuffed the fabric with a padding polyester, we tighten the thread so that we get a ball. Santa Claus will also need an elegant hat with a pompom made from swatches of fabric. We connect all the elements to each other, sew eyes on the face, outline the mouth with red threads, make a nose from a small ball. We create a beard and mustache from padding polyester, from which we also make an edge for a hat and a fur coat. Santa Claus for the New Year's composition is ready for you.

It will be more difficult to make a real Santa Claus doll with your own hands, because this is a whole art. ? For such crafts, a combination of modeling and sewing is most often used. With the help of skillful stitches, you can "sculpt" a face for a toy, and a fur coat, hat, boots are simply sewn from fabric. This combination is called sculptural textiles.

For Santa Claus, using the sculptural textile technique, you need to create a frame. For these purposes, a small plastic bottle is suitable for us, into which a wire is inserted with a loop, into the place on which the head will be attached. The same loops will serve as hands, they will not be visible at all under the mittens. We paint the face made of fabric, glue the eyes, attach the beard made of artificial fiber. A fur coat, felt boots, an elegant sash - we do everything, even the staff of Santa Claus, with our own hands.

If you are familiar with the technique of felting from wool, otherwise called felting, then you can make such a variation of the fairy wizard. This technique is very difficult, but at the same time, dolls created using the felting technique always look original and complex. The base material is wool, which is repeatedly pierced with a special needle, until the material becomes dense, the fibers do not entangle themselves, forming a dense structure. Since such a craft is hollow inside, it will not require a lot of material from you, but if you put such a Santa Claus under your Christmas tree, then the delight of all your friends is simply guaranteed.

We hope that we have provided you with enough options on how to make Santa Claus with your own hands. Do not forget to please the New Year's old man by making his granddaughter - the Snow Maiden!

Knitted Santa Claus

Today we will make with our own hands the main character of the New Year - Santa Claus. We have collected the best ideas and master classes for you. All materials are elementary, and the diagrams are simple and straightforward - even children can handle it. Get inspired and get down to business!

Ready-made toys can be used to decorate a Christmas tree or table, put them under a New Year's tree or hang on a window. Besides, homemade Santa Claus is one of the best gift additions.

We suggest you try to make this fabulous character out of felt, out of paper and out of a bottle.

Santa Claus made of felt

Felt toys are always very popular. First, this material is very beautiful. Secondly, it is easy to use. Thirdly, standard felt crafts are always sewn according to patterns, and therefore it is not so difficult to make even the most unusual souvenir.

Our Santa Claus is sewn very simply too. With a little effort, you will have a wonderful New Year's souvenir that will perfectly complete a gift for a loved one or decorate a Christmas tree.

What do we need?

pieces of red (or blue), white, flesh and green felt
red and white thread for sewing
some cotton wool for stuffing
beads and any other decor

First you need to make a pattern. Take a look at how the details look. You can sketch them or print a drawing and simply cut out all parts of the future Santa Claus from paper.

We transfer the template to felt. It is better to take red, blue or blue felt as a basis - we will make a fur coat and a hat out of it. Let the beard and mustache be white, and the face and nose - bodily. The edging for the hat can be made green or white - try on as you like.

We fold the large parts together and sew them with red or white thread from the front side. Connecting the substrate and the outer part, add a little cotton wool inside so that Santa Claus "grows" a small tummy - it looks very cute and funny.

Small parts and decor can be glued, not sewn on. However, see for yourself - how convenient it is. You can decorate a New Year's craft with beads (you can also make eyes from it), small details from foamiran, plastic snowflakes and flowers, embroidery, etc.

Try to make several Santa Clauses at once. Sewing several of the same figures at the same time is much easier than tinkering with toys one by one. Sew at once, and decorate each separately to make it more interesting, and the crafts were slightly different from each other.

Santa Claus made of paper

This is the simplest way to make the main symbol of the New Year. The process of "assembling" it can be great fun for children.

The finished toy is a great decoration for the table. Place these crafts next to each guest's plate and hide the candy or tangerine inside. This small but very pleasant surprise will immediately create a New Year's mood.

By the way, the size of Santa Claus can be increased and someone's gift can be hidden under it!

What do we need?

red cardboard or thick paper
White paper
glue stick
colour pencils

We make a square out of red cardboard. We coat one edge with glue.

We fold the square into a cone and press the edge tightly.

We cut off the excess.

Draw arbitrary shapes on a white sheet, a bit like the beard of Santa Claus.

In the center we will make a hole: such that the beard crawls through to a certain level of the cone. We do not discard the cut off part.

Let's draw the face, eyes, mustache and beard outlines.

We will make pompons from the cut out circles.

It is very convenient to do such crafts at the same time: fold the paper in a pile and cut it out at once. If you want a more durable product, replace paper with cardboard. If you wish, you can paste over it with fabric and various decorative elements.

Santa Claus from a bottle

In this master class, our beloved New Year's character will be based on a bottle. It doesn't matter which one. You can decorate a bottle of champagne with the image of Santa Claus for the New Year's table or as a gift, or you can simply transform an empty bottle and put it under the Christmas tree.

You can also take a plastic bottle as a basis. Just keep in mind that the structure will not be very stable. In this case, you can pour small pebbles or cereals inside.

On this holiday, the kind wizard Santa Claus comes to us, who fulfills the most cherished desires. How to make Santa Claus with your own hands?

There are so many ways to make Santa Claus that you can list them until the very Christmas holidays. Therefore, we bring to your attention only some ideas that can become the basis for creating new images.
