How to make a number for your birthday with your own hands?

Children's birthday should take place in a special festive atmosphere. I would like to decorate the birthday person's room and hang a large sign in the hallway so that little guests are charged with positive and fun right from the doorway.

You can call for help from professional decorators. They will quickly hang expensive decor. But it is much more interesting to do interior decoration with beautiful home-made "things" for both parents and children. Joint creativity will allow you to spend time exciting.

This article contains a variety of ideas for making a figure for a birthday boy. You can make it out of balloons.

But if this design is tired, then arm yourself with scissors, cardboard, corrugated and colored paper, decorative elements, threads and get to work. The main thing in such an important matter is a good mood and a positive attitude.

What to make a birthday number out of?

Figures corresponding to the age of the birthday boy, made from small balls - this is the most familiar way of decorating a room for us. What could be easier than placing an order for the required number at the nearest event agency? But if you make a figure with your own hands from any other material, then it will look unusual.

You should not give up the idea of making your own number for the birthday of the birthday person if you have little time. A digit from cardboard is cut quickly, and the needlewoman is always at hand with fabric and threads.

If the figure is not urgently needed, then you can print bright photos in advance or come up with something completely original. An interesting photo session for the birthday person in such a room with large numbers is guaranteed.

What are the methods of making numbers?

A large number can be cut out of cardboard and decorated with whatever your imagination and resources are capable of.
For the base, we will take a regular cardboard box of the preferred size. The contours of the desired number are outlined on the cardboard. The figure is cut out with a clerical knife and decorated. This figure will be flat. It can be hung on the wall.
If you need a voluminous figure or you have the time and desire, then it is better to make such a figure with which the birthday person can play and rearrange from place to place if desired.
To make the figure three-dimensional, you need two identical cardboard blanks. But besides them, you will also need to cut out long cardboard strips with smooth edges (of the same width) in order to glue the sides.
The frame is easily assembled with a heat gun or masking tape.

The decor of the figure must be selected in accordance with the general design style. The most commonly used materials are:

leg-split
colored yarn
bright fabric (organza, chiffon, satin, velvet)
floristic film used for packaging
colored paper
corrugated paper
flowers from napkins

All of these materials are used for wrapping the base. But you can use them to give additional volume to the numbers. To do this, you need to make flowers with sticking out petals out of paper or fabric, or make fluffy pompons from woolen threads, add different "funnies" and bows.

Eco-style digit

To make an eco-style figure, you need a cardboard base and twine. The base is gradually greased with glue and neatly wrapped with twine over the glued area.
The finished figure can be painted with acrylic paint, or you can leave the twine unpainted. Such a figure will adorn any interior, and it will take very little time and effort to make it.

Flower number

To make a figure with a floral pattern, we need a lot of roses, cut and glued from paper.
Flowers fit tightly to each other, filling the entire base
Such a figure, even in the absence of other decor, will look great.

The time spent cutting paper flowers is compensated by the smiles of the children and the joy of the birthday boy. After the holiday, the number can be hung in the children's room until the child is a whole year older.

Pom-pom figure

To make a figure from pom-poms, you will need a large number of wool pom-poms
The process of filling the base with pom-poms is the same as with paper flowers.
In the following sections, we will take a closer look at how to make beautiful numbers for a birthday person.

Birthday number made of napkins

You can decorate a frame cut out of cardboard with flowers from napkins. If you have patience and cut out flowers of the same size from ordinary napkins, you can please the birthday boy with the fluffiest number in the world!

Manufacturing process:

We cut out napkin flowers in unlimited quantities: divide a four-fold single-layer napkin into 4 squares
We lay the squares in an even pile and fix in the center with a stapler or a piece of thin wire
The square stack is trimmed to make a circle.
It remains only to cut through the edges of the resulting circle, without reaching the center
Lift the napkin petals and straighten them.
So we will create fluffy flowers, which then only need to be glued with PVA glue to the base.

This is the figure obtained after pasting with flowers

Deuce and scenery

Corrugated paper birthday number

Corrugated paper flowers look just gorgeous. They can be done in two ways. All you need is a large amount of corrugated paper of the desired color. The number will turn out more beautiful if you glue flowers of 2 or 3 different colors on it.

Method 1:

We cut the paper into strips. Approximate dimensions in centimeters: 50 / 3.5. We monitor the correct location of the "veins" of future flowers: they should stretch along, and not across the flower.
Next, you need to stretch the flower on one side to get waves. Such stretching is possible due to the "veins".
We hold the stretched flower blanks firmly on one side in waves upward, and grab the base-cup.
We fix the lower part of the flower with an elastic band or thread to match the paper.
The softer the corrugated paper, the more voluminous and fluffy the flowers are.
The walls of the cardboard base are pasted over with corrugated paper to hide possible gaps between the flowers.
The base is pasted over with flowers. For this, it is convenient to use a hot glue gun. You can "plant" flowers on regular PVA glue.

Method 2:

Cut corrugated paper into equal squares
Apply glue to the cardboard base of the figure
We wrap the pencil with corrugated paper, laying it with its central part to the rod
We lower the lower part of the future flower into glue and apply it to the cardboard base
So gradually fill the entire surface of the cardboard base with squares.

Birthday inflatable numbers

Children's holiday is not complete without balloons. Birthday can be done excellent wall decoration:

you will need a base of expanded polystyrene (this is a rectangular piece or a square piece)
small balloons
draw the desired number
inflate the balls and fasten them with double-sided tape to the base in a pre-drawn shape

Birthday Cardboard Numbers

The easiest way to make a number from cardboard is to draw it on a piece of cardboard or cardboard box and cut it out without bothering to create a voluminous product.
The number can be pasted over with colored paper or spread with glue and sprinkled with tinsel. You can cut a stencil of the desired pattern or pattern, attach it to the painted over cardboard number and paint over the areas inside the stencil with contrasting paint.
A volumetric cardboard base consists of two identical parts of the number (the second can be simply circled) and long strips of cardboard of the required thickness for the sides.
The parts are connected with a glue gun, and for structural reliability and better fixation, stiffening ribs are glued from the inside.
The volumetric figure can be placed vertically right on the festive table. If you make a horizontal platform out of cardboard, then the figure can also be put on the floor. Then she will become a gorgeous attribute for photographing as a keepsake.

Decorative numbers for birthday

Decorative numbers can be made using the quilling technique.
You can glue many paper umbrellas of different sizes and fix them on a cardboard base.

The details of the figure can be cut out of fabric and sewn into a large volume pillow. Ribbons, fabric flowers, lace and beads are suitable as decorative elements.

If you make a base from a special floristic sponge Piaflora, then fresh flowers can be used as a decor: the sponge keeps moisture for a long time and feeds the plants. But a significant drawback of such a decor item is its fragility.

Birthday numbers from photos

The numbers that will be truly unique are those made from photographs. They can be glued onto a cardboard flat figure or you can choose photos for a collage in Photoshop and arrange them according to the intended form. The finished collage only needs to be printed and glued to the base or wall.

Felt numbers for birthday

Felt figure, if decorated with small toys cut out of felt, the child will be able to use after the birthday in his games.

To make a figure, you will need one piece of bright felt (for a flat figure) or two (for a voluminous one). The figure is sewn like a soft toy and stuffed with filler - cotton wool or padding polyester.

Birthday balloons

It is impossible to imagine a children's party without balloons. Balloon numbers, although they are a constant attribute in the photo of birthday people, can also be made in an original way.

Not so long ago I met felt and decided to create numbers from felt, bright, with buttons. Now toys from felt very popular with moms and their babies. When children begin to learn counting, classes should be interesting and bright so that they can easily learn the material. Acquaintance with figures takes place in an interesting playful way, you can touch them, make examples of them using signs

children love to play with these in numbers - they are soft, multi-colored, fits comfortably in a child's pen. Make such numbers very simple - you need patterns (I printed them on a printer, felt of different colors, synthetic winterizer, threads in color felt, buttons are multi-colored. I want to add one more thing - to stitch numbers are better from the middle(such as 0, 4, 6, 8, 9)- it's better to stuff like that. WITH felt very convenient to work with, just like with paper. This material is soft, warm, which is also important for the tactile perception of children.

Master class making a laptop in mathematics "Numbers" This interactive folder is a wonderful thing! I believe that a laptop is an irreplaceable thing.

Well, finally, we have finished our "seven"! Birthday is the main holiday in the life of every child. And I really want to.

I stumbled upon the idea of this figure on the Internet, when I was thinking about the design for the event dedicated to March 8, I wanted something.

Abstract of GCD in mathematics "In search of the number 2" Topic: Ira-journey "In search of number 2" Goals and objectives: To acquaint with the formation and composition of number 2. To consolidate the understanding of the meaning of actions.

Hand-made soft toys will never lose their popularity among children and their parents. The very process of joint production of such crafts is very popular with children. And if the toy also helps to develop the skills of the child, then it becomes simply irreplaceable. Today, numbers and letters made of felt are very popular, because these are not just handicrafts pleasant to the touch, but also a full-fledged guide for learning the alphabet and the basics of arithmetic.

The basis of this fabric for needlework is felt, which differs in composition and thickness, depending on the type. The material has the same structure on both sides, which allows you not to think about the mirror arrangement of the patterns.

The felt composition is processed and pressed in such a way as to almost completely exclude shedding of fabric sections. That is why felt is so popular among needlewomen for creating all kinds of children's crafts. After all, it is much easier to sew an alphabet for a baby from felt fabric than from any other. And also the advantages of this material include such qualities as:

huge color palette;
color fastness (does not fade and does not fade when washed);
ease of use.

The disadvantages of this fabric are very rare. Usually these are products of unscrupulous manufacturers or fakes. Despite this, felt was and remains the most popular material for homemade soft toys.

Felt letters and numbers

Today on the Internet you can find many different master classes on working with this material. But most often these are figures of animals or dolls. Meanwhile, a soft, hand-made alphabet is much more useful for kids. It not only serves for games, but also develops reading skills, motor skills, attentiveness and perseverance of the child.

Working with patterns and patterns

To sew letters from felt with your own hands, schemes and templates for them to look for on the Internet is not at all necessary, it is much more convenient to make them yourself. If mom or dad has artistic skills, then the flight for fantasy is practically unlimited. You can draw letters in the form of pictures or decorate them with additional elements.

If you do not have such skills, you should not be upset.... Almost every home has a computer with a built-in word processor. It's easy enough to experiment with font sizes and types. Making your own stencils for Russian letters from felt is much preferable to downloading ready-made ones. Because you can:

choose the right size;
choose an individual design;
convenient (for cutting) to place on the sheet.

In the same way, you can make a set of numbers for felt patterns.... Then you just have to cut them out. To prevent paper letters and numbers from tearing during the cutting process, it is recommended to stick them on a cardboard base. Heavy stencils will last much longer, and you won't have to print new ones if a letter needs to be replaced later.

Cutting and sewing

Place the finished stencils of letters on the fabric and circle along the contour. The felt material does not have a longitudinal thread, so you can lay out the patterns as it is convenient, without fear of distortions. It is better to make allowances for seams in 2-3 millimeters. Large allowances should not be made, because it is not required to turn out the finished product, the stitching seam will simultaneously perform connecting and decorative functions.

Each letter-template made of felt is made in duplicate, then carefully cut... In order for the symbols to turn out beautiful and even, all sharp corners should be rounded off with scissors during the cutting process. Then two copies of the pattern of each letter are stacked on top of each other and sewn together. For successful work you will need:

thick threads;
scissors;
needle;
padding material;
a thin wooden stick (a regular pencil will do).

With a buttonhole stitch, you should carefully connect the letter, stuffing it (with a thin wooden stick) during the sewing process. This is done to evenly distribute the material within the product. For stuffing, you can use a synthetic winterizer or something similar in structure. The main thing is to make sure that it is completely safe for the health of the baby.

After all sides are stitched and the padding is evenly distributed, you should fasten the seam and remove the thread ends inward. It is recommended to wash the finished product in warm water before handing it to a child.

For toddlers, it is best to first sew only the letters of the alphabet and numbers from 0 to 9. A large number of the same characters can confuse the child and discourage him from learning. Felt alphabet patterns can be saved and used to sew additional characters when needed.

Children's room decoration

Children grow up quickly, and the toys that the baby liked so much yesterday become irrelevant for the grown-up child. Where to put them, each parent decides for himself, just don't rush to get rid of the letters made of felt. They can be used not only as a developmental playbook for a kid, but also to design a personal children's space. There are several ways to turn them into original art objects for decorating boys 'and girls' rooms. For example:

If you get creative, you can come up with many more ways to use felt letters. Undoubtedly, this is a very versatile and useful homemade toy.

Felt is an amazing material. It is easy to cut and sew: it does not crumble, does not require machine sewing skills, and the choice of colors gives great opportunities for the manifestation of imagination. It is not surprising that needlewomen are happy to create a variety of felt crafts.

Due to its pleasant texture, felt is often used for children's toys, including educational ones. Felt letters and numbers adorn soft books, children's wall metrics and garlands.

Original ideas for letters from felt

Do you want to make your child's room bright and attractive? Decorate it with original children's metrics and mobiles. Bright felt is perfect for them.

Any form of metric can be made:

round wreath;
cloud;
flower-seven-flower - for a girl;
a boat or an anchor - for a boy.

You need to make a life-size base template from paper, cut it out of felt. Think over and cut out the decor: the name of the child, additional elements. The letters can be made multi-colored - so the original metric will be brighter.

There are a lot of photos of letters made of felt on the Internet. There you can also find options for playing with them. For a young child, you can make an entertaining soft ABC book. This is not just a toy - this is a visual aid that will help a child learn the alphabet while playing, learn to distinguish between consonants and vowels.

For older children, you can make a manual for teaching reading: sew the entire alphabet out of felt, make a soft "board" out of carpet, and equip the letters with Velcro, or place magnets inside.

How to sew a felt alphabet

Felt letter ideas and patterns are available online. Older children can be involved in making a soft alphabet: products are sewn by hand, so the work is not difficult even for younger students. Moreover, it is even useful, since it develops fine motor skills of the hands.

The size of the elements will depend on how you plan to use them:

for a garland or metric, letters 6-10 centimeters in size can be sewn;
for use as didactic material - a size of 4-5 centimeters is sufficient.

Detailed instructions for making letters for beginners:

Print out patterns of letters of the desired size on paper, cut them out. Choose felt: for a personalized garland, it is better to take soft felt - Spanish or Korean, wool or semi-wool. Hard felt is not suitable for bulky letters: after filling, it will give folds and wrinkles.

Fold two sheets of felt together. Spread the patterns close together on a piece of felt. This is not a fabric, no seam allowances are required! Circle the patterns and cut out the letters.

Next, sew each letter. Fold the two cut letters together, prepare a needle and thread. You need to sew the letters with an overcast buttonhole seam, initially inserting a needle between the two parts (this way the knot will be inside the toy and will not spoil the appearance.

As the letter has acquired a three-dimensional appearance, it needs to be filled with holofiber or other filler. After finishing the seam, carefully secure the end and hide it inside the toy.

How to make letters out of felt correctly:

Choose a font with wide elements like Georgia.
You need to sew the letters A, B, C, D, O, R, F, Y, I from the inner seams: this will make it easier to stuff the toy.
The corners of the pattern should be rounded to make sewing easier.
The letters can be decorated with additional decor: butterflies, flowers, embroidered with an ornament.

In addition to the method described in the master class on the letters from felt, they can be sewn on a sewing machine. It is important that they do not creep during the game, because felt is a non-woven fabric.

We told you how to sew a letter out of felt with your own hands. By the same principle, you can make numbers for teaching a child to count, mathematical actions. You can make letters of different sizes, sew consonants from felt of one color, vowels - another, numbers - a third.

If you plan to use them to teach reading, it is better to make several sets so that you can form words with the same letters. This will turn the toy into a useful teaching aid.

To store felt letters and numbers, sew a bag out of the fabric or make a bright box. You can sew a book with pockets, where each letter will have its own "house".

As soon as the child grows up, the mother needs to purchase the alphabet in order to start teaching the baby to count and write. Children remember better if learning takes place in a playful environment. During the game, children increase their interest in new, unfamiliar, then they remember well and learn to use the knowledge gained in their daily life.

The letters bought in the store quickly get bored and lost. Children are more interested in making the alphabet themselves. They themselves cannot yet make letters, but they are watching with interest the process of emergence from a sheet of felt. cute letter...

ABC in a book

To store the letters of the alphabet, you need to take thicker sheets of felt to make a book. You can cut them figuratively for beauty, or just cut them to fit the book. Make covers out of it too. Fold all prepared sheets and two covers into an even pile. With a hole punch on each sheet, stepping back from the edge by about 2 cm, punch three holes. Pull the ribbon through and tie tightly so that the book does not fall apart.

You can put the sheets into a book in another way. On each sheet of the book, attach the letters of the alphabet and the corresponding figures from felt with Velcro. Sew a bag with handles to the size of a book on a sewing machine from fabric, put it inside and present to the child.

Important! In a felt book, you need to store flat letters, numbers and figures. To make them, you should take a thicker and harder felt.

Animal figurines

Felt alphabet patterns with animals are easy to draw yourself, but there are a lot of them on the Internet. The images of animals are simple, sewing them is a painstaking business. But the children rejoice at each animal and immediately begin to play with it, so the mothers-craftswomen try for their sake.

Two canvases are cut out of the fabric, pockets are sewn on one side. Stripes are cut out of colored or plain fabric, one lower side is sewn to the canvas. Then they outline the width of the pocket and sew the stripes across.
Both parts of the panel are sewn together. It can be trimmed with braid around the perimeter. Insert cardboard or any filler inside.
The letters can be attached to the pockets with Velcro. You can glue or sew on flat letters alphabetically. Insert the finished felt letters into the pockets.
We sew funny cute animal figures according to a template from the Internet or draw ourselves. Cut out two pieces of each pattern. We sew in the same way as the letters. It is desirable that both crafts are of the same color. We insert each animal into our own pocket.

Games and activities with the alphabet made of felt:

We study letters, colors, numbers.
We add syllables, words, simple math examples.
Games with animals: arrange letters for animals and, conversely, animals for them.
We compose stories about cubs.

Felt crafts

Where else can ready-made letters come in handy? They are used to decorate children's parties.

An inscription-congratulation "Happy birthday" is attached on a long canvas, and a stretch from wall to wall is obtained.

The children's room is decorated with small funny panel metrics. Against the background of the moon there is a figurine of an angel, below the name of a boy or girl.

A cute wreath of flowers with butterflies with the girl's name is attached to the door of her room. For newborns, metrics are created with dates of birth, with figures for weight and height. Patterns of numbers from felt are cut out, numbers are sewn in a round hoop under a photo with a baby.
