How to sew Santa Claus?
One of the presentations can be a Santa Claus figurine, which is worn over champagne. When you master this simple technique for creating a New Year's character, you can sew a Snow Maiden, a snowman.
To craft Santa Claus, use:
- artificial fur;
- fleece in three colors - white, flesh, blue;
- foam ball with a diameter of 6 cm;
- holofiber;
- blue crepe satin;
- sequins;
- oblique inlay;
- for the eyes - a plastic hemisphere;
- scissors;
- textile glue.
For a Santa Claus fur coat, you will need to cut out two triangular blanks rounded at the top, with small cutouts for the head at the top. Treat large side cuts with a bias tape.
From the same fabric, cut 2 pieces for each hand, stitch them. Sweep the back and shelf of the fur coat together.
Place the ball on the fleece square, lift the edges of the fabric. Wind them over the ball with thread to form a neck, cut off the excess. Use a small piece of the same fabric to make a nose by stuffing it with holofiber or cotton wool. Sew these parts in place, as well as hemispheres instead of eyes. You can replace them with buttons.
Put your head in place, sew it on.
Measure the volume of the head, cut out a rectangle according to this size, the side of which is equal to this figure. Sew it on the side, gather on top with a thread with a needle, tighten.
Cut the edge out of the fur for the hat, sew it to it.
Stuff your hands with holofiber, helping yourself to push it through with a pencil or wooden skewer. Sew fur strips to the bottom of the sleeves.
Sew your hands to Santa Claus's fur coat.
Cut out several rectangles from white fleece - their difference in length is 1.5 cm. Cut the blanks into strips 5 mm wide, leaving a little solid cloth on top.
The fleece needs to be cut so that the strips go along the transverse. Then they will stretch along the long side of the rectangle. We start sewing on the beard from the longest workpiece. Stitch shorter and shorter ones on top.
Now you need to gently pull on each strip so that they take on a curled shape. Then the beard will turn out curly.
Attach snowflake sequins to your fur coat. Wrap the wand with silver tape to make a staff.
Here's how to sew Santa Claus to make him look so cute. If you don't have blue felt, use red.
Then you can make such a nice snowman.
And here's how to sew Santa Claus using another idea.
Prepare for the workshop by taking:
- fleece in red and white;
- cotton fabric;
- holofiber or synthetic winterizer;
- felt;
- foam rubber;
- buttons;
- beads;
- beige cotton;
- wool;
- felting needle;
- thick and thin wire;
- floss threads;
- cardboard;
- pliers;
- stationery knife;
- acrylic paints;
- glue gun;
- brush.
Using this template, cut out a triangular and round cardboard blank. Attach a round one to the foam rubber, cut out a part of the same shape from it. You also need a fabric element, we also make it round, but a little larger so that the curved edges go onto the cardboard.
Bending the edges of the fabric, you need to sew along the contour with a basting stitch, pull the workpiece over a circle of cardboard. Pierce this part with one and the second ends of a thick wire, thread them here, twist to make the character's feet. Screw a thinner wire onto the metal wire bracket from above.
Sew a belt from the same fabric, cut it in half, put it over the feet on the legs of Santa Claus.
Now, attaching the cardboard template to the beige fabric, cut a triangle out of it, sweep the sides of this figure to make a cone. Slide it over a piece of fabric and cardboard, stuffing it inside with filler. In this case, the small wire must be pulled out through the upper hole made in the cone. Stitch this Santa Claus fur coat with a cardboard bottom.
We cut out the feet of our character from cardboard, attach them to the wire loops with a glue gun. We cut out the shape for the shoes from the foam rubber, we also glue them to the lower part of the legs.
Feet should be sheathed with fleece, cut in the shape of an oval. From the bottom, pull this blank with a thread using a needle. Cut a piece of felt to fit the sole and glue it on.
Mark where the face, cap will be, using a simple pencil. Draw with acrylic paints the eyes, mouth, eyebrows of Santa Claus. Fold the nose out of pieces of wool, sew it onto your face.
Cut out a canvas of such a size from red felt so that it can be sewn to the body of Santa Claus in the form of a fur coat. Cut out your hands, gloves of our hero, put filler in these blanks.
We decorate the hem of the fur coat with pieces of felt of different colors. Sew on them to make houses, mushrooms, Christmas trees. Sew the handles into place.
Use white felt to cuff the boots and cuffs for the sleeves. These details should be wavy on one side. Sew them into the designated places, like the collar on a fur coat.
To sew on white felt cuffs and collar, place the edges of each of these blanks right-side up against the surface to be sewn. After stitching, fold the lapel back to the inside of the seam.
Decorate the edge of the fur coat with a piece of felt of the same white color. In order to sew Santa Claus further, you need to make a beard out of wool for felting with your own hands. To do this, cut a piece 10 centimeters long from it, glue it just above the beard line, for the mustache we separate a strand from the wool, sew it as a mustache. Use scissors to shape these elements into the desired shape.
Cut a triangle out of the fabric with an elongated, sharp top corner. Sew its sides to make a cap. Sew a strip of felt wavy to it on one side, this will be the frill of the headdress. Attach a white pom-pom to the tip of the hat.
It remains to make small pom-poms from green fabric, sew them to the boots of the winter wizard, cut a Christmas tree out of felt, decorate it with buttons, and sew hats on the side.
Here's how to sew Santa Claus, make a lush beard and mustache for him, beautiful clothes with your own hands.
New Year's Santa Claus from improvised means
If someone wants to create an image of this foreign brother of our Santa Claus, they can use the most unusual objects, for example, a plastic bottle or balloons. This can be placed at the entrance to an office, store, institution to create a festive mood for everyone. And at home this New Year's wizard will come in handy.
For work, prepare:
- long balls, as well as round balls of different sizes - pink, red, black;
- beads;
- threads;
- water;
- glasses;
- glue;
- rope;
- pump for balls.
First, use the pump to inflate 4 black balls of the same size. We tie each of them after filling with air with a thread. Then all four balls are tied together with a rope.
To prevent Santa Claus from being blown away by a gust of wind, fill the red ball with a little water, tie it to the center of the structure of 4 black balls.
Take another red ball, put a bead in it, fix it with an elastic rope.
Now inflate it, tie it with a thread, it needs to be fixed in the center of the blank of 4 black balls. In this case, the tail of this red will be at the bottom.
We make the head of Santa Claus from a pink balloon that needs to be inflated, tie it under a red bead. Pump one pink and one black balloon with air. The dark one will become a belt, this piece needs to be glued to the belly of Santa Claus, as well as the buckle, which will become a twisted pink ball. You can make the edging of the fur coat and the clasp from two long white balls.
Inflate a white long ball, tie it around the winter wizard's neck so that he has a scarf. The arms will become two long red balls, and the cuffs will be two white ones.
Make your hair from the same materials, or use a sheet synthetic winterizer by cutting and gluing it on your face. You can make these parts, the Santa Claus cap at your discretion.
If you like, on New Year's, Christmas Santa Claus will be made of many balls. They also need to be fastened together with rope and glue.
If the child before going to bed remembered that in the morning you need to bring Santa Claus or Santa Claus to school or kindergarten, do not despair. You will make a winter wizard figurine in just 20 minutes.
The main thing is to take:
- transparent plastic bottle;
- scissors;
- cotton wool;
- colored paper;
- black plasticine;
- Super glue;
- plastic packaging for tablets;
- red napkin.
Put a red napkin in a clean transparent bottle.
Use scissors to cut out the plastic dispensers from the pack of pills that will become the eyes. Place a small piece of black plasticine in them so that the pupils appear. Glue these blanks to the top of the plastic bottle.
Roll up a piece of cotton wool, glue the resulting nose to your face. Here's how Santa Claus looks at this stage, the photo clearly shows.
Cut a triangle out of red paper, grease its side with glue, glue it to the opposite side to make a Santa Claus hat. A cotton wool fringe, a tassel of the same material is attached to this cap.
It remains to attach a beard and mustache cut from cotton wool, and a funny Santa Claus in front of you.
How to make a postcard for the New Year?

Fold a sheet of cardboard in half, glue down a felt rectangle.
Place a thinner strip of black felt on it. To make a buckle, draw it, cut it out, glue it in place on a piece of felt or yellow cardboard.
At the top of the postcard, glue two toy eyes, and just below the red felt circle that will become the nose. To make a beard and hair, roll up some small cotton balls and attach them with a glue gun.
Using the small pliers, help yourself to roll up the wire to make glasses out of it. Cut a cap out of red felt, glue it on Santa's head.
That's it, you can write congratulations and give such a wonderful postcard. If you want to make a voluminous one, then make a fluffy Christmas tree. It is not difficult to make a postcard of this type for the New Year. It is interesting to create its details with your own hands. Here's what you need:

Fold a piece of cardboard in half. Cut 3-5 strips of different lengths from green paper, their widths being the same. At the top, you will glue the shorter ones, gradually attaching the longer elements to the bottom.
The strips of colored herringbone paper should be three times longer than the blanks that will result from folding them. Fold the elements for the Christmas tree with an accordion, glue one of their sidewalls to the right, and the other to the left postcard. Cut a herringbone out of red paper, attach at the top. With the help of white acrylic paint, you can apply a pattern to the Christmas tree; all kinds of glitter are also used for this.
