Schemes and interesting ideas

The world of fantasy knows no boundaries. Often, when creating masterpieces, craftsmen use various materials and improvised means. One of the directions is do-it-yourself felt crafts. Craftsmen say that if you once pick up a warm piece of felt and make something out of it, then a person will never stop creating interesting things from this material. Colored shreds encourage creativity, calm the nervous system and set you in a positive mood.

Before diving into artistic needlework, you should learn what felt is and what types of material are best suited for creativity.

On a note! Felt is a dense material with a unique thermal conductivity, which is produced in a non-woven way from sheep or goat wool, as well as from fine rabbit down.

For patterns of products, natural and / or synthetic types of material with different densities are used. For novice craftsmen, it is very important to decide on crafts in order to choose the right grade of material.

There are different types of material:

1. Acrylic felt is a fully synthetic type that is recommended for children and beginner needlewomen. The smooth surface of the material allows you to make simple and light felt crafts, such as false summer or autumn flowers, mobile phone cases, and various souvenirs.
2. Wool felt is a natural material. It produces useful products that have practical applications, such as booties for babies, slippers, stylish and beautiful hats for girls.
3. Semi-woolen felt is a combined material consisting of 2/3 of synthetic fibers. It is flexible, holds its shape perfectly, but spreads during heat treatment. From such material it is recommended to sew children's stuffed toys and small decorative elements.
4. Bamboo felt is a more durable and rather expensive material. Impurities of viscose, which are part of textiles, give crafts wear resistance. However, for a child or a novice master, this type of felt is very difficult to process.

Everything you need for needlework

Before you dive into the creative process, you need to stock up on materials and tools. In addition to felt, the following will be useful in art needlework:

1. regular and zigzag scissors;
2. sewing threads of various thicknesses and colors, as well as floss thread;
3. pattern or template made of thick paper;
4. glue and glue gun;
5. needles, pins and other fixing devices;
6. colored marker, pencil and ballpoint pen;
7. decoration elements (beads, buttons, beads).

On a note! A pattern-pattern is an indispensable component for creativity, however, with certain artistic inclinations and experience, you can completely do without it.

It is best to start with simple crafts. The idea for creativity can be drawn from fragments of Soviet cartoons. A simple option is a wise felt owl. To work, you will need several shreds of fabric of different colors and shades.

A small master class for the phased creation of a felt owl:

1. Before starting work, you should prepare paper templates for the details of an owl - this is the body, eyes, wings and beak.
2. Having applied the template to the felt, the necessary part of the craft is cut out. The seam allowance is not taken into account, as the parts are cut immediately to size.
3. When applying eyes, wings and beak to the front side of the body, it is necessary to achieve the most successful placement option, all elements should be fixed with pins.
4. The next step is sewing on the details. Stepping back from the edge of the workpiece 2-3 mm, you can carefully sew the parts with a regular seam.
5. For experienced craftsmen, you can complicate the task: with the help of a synthetic winterizer, volume is added to the wings and beak.

An owl made of felt is not very difficult to complete. You can sew a loop to it and decorate the wall of your room. Having mastered the initial creative stages, you can move on.
