Every child loves not only to watch funny andoriginal performances, but also to participate in them. This is very useful for children at a young age to develop imagination and creativity. And in general, children really like to play various role-playing games, imagining that they are the heroes of their favorite books or films. Therefore, one of the wonderful gifts for a child will be a toy theater, which you can easily make at home. We present to your attention a colorful and original pattern of a theater made of felt in the form of popular characters from children's cartoons - "Luntik and his friends". Children do not always like large toys, so our theater actors will be very small. The main thing is that they fit on children's fingers and hold there tightly enough. You can sew all the characters by hand. All the parts are very small, so some parts will need to be sewn in several layers at once. And besides, it is very convenient for those who do not want to sit at the machine all evening. It will turn out less neat and even, but you will avoid unnecessary hassle, when literally after two or three stitches, you will have to change one thread for a completely different one. However, if you prefer a sewing machine, then just make the parts a little larger for convenience. You can also sew Velcro on the back of your toys. This is convenient, because you will be able to arrange more varied games with such "actors". So, let's start making the main character - Luntik. In order to sew him you will need:
- Bright purple or lilac, pink, pale purple felt. A little white, black and red material is useful;
- Multicolored threads that match the colors of our fabric;
- Ordinary needle;
- Sewing machine. It is not necessary, it is simple on it you can choose the color of the lower and upper thread, because of what the finished toy will be more accurate on both sides.
Let's start cutting out the toy pattern.According to our pattern, we cut out the necessary parts. It is very important to make allowances so that there are no problems later. First of all, let's work on the back of our Luntik. Sew the head and body together. Of course, for greater convenience, you can just cut out both parts together at once. It will be a little easier. Carefully embroider the fingers for the paws and sew them to the paws. Attach the ears, and then the upper and lower paws to the back part. Let's work on the front part. Sew on the toy spots, eyes, mouth, embroider nostrils, highlights and eyebrows. Sew both parts of the toy along the edge. The main thing is not to forget that you still need to leave space at the bottom, where we will stick the finger. At your discretion, you can sew the paws to the front part. It will look a little better. Sew our Luntik's neck. That's all. The first actor of the theater is ready for performances.
Now we will embroider the finger model.grasshopper Kuzya. For this, we use dark green and light green felt, as well as some yellow, white and black material. We also select threads by color, take a yoke and move on to the pattern. Sewing Kuzya is even easier than his friend, so he will not take you too much time. According to our pattern, we cut out all the necessary parts. Do not forget that you need to make allowances just in case. Separately make the grasshopper's face, his paws and "hands". The front side of the arms and legs consists of three parts, they must be sequentially sewn together, and then to the solid parts of the legs and arms. Let's start connecting the yellow upper and dark green lower front part of the body. Do not forget to make a line of a darker yellow color in the middle of the yellow part of the body.
We will sew it to the front part of the body from the insideKuzya's legs, then we'll insert his arms, and sew the entire body to the solid head-body part. Again, don't forget to leave a wide enough opening at the bottom so that children's fingers can fit through. In the same way, we insert Kuzya's antennae, and at the very end we'll sew a face to our cute grasshopper. That's it. Kuzya is completely ready and can now join his friend in the theater.
The next cartoon character we willlet's get to it, will become the ladybug Mila. This is another wonderful toy for our beloved kids. So, our next heroine is very colorful and charming. If you have already made the two previous characters - this is just great, because Mila loves to be in the company of her friends. To sew this toy, we will use the following materials:
- Red, black and pale pink felt, also a bit of white material;
- Needle and thread, in tone to our fabrics;
- Always a good and positive mood.
As always, first of all we cut out all the detailsaccording to the pattern, not forgetting about the need to make allowances. This is very important. Let's do the face of our ladybug. Carefully embroider her mouth, eyebrows, sew the eyes in the right place. It is best to embroider the pupils yourself, or make them from felt. In extreme cases, you can just use a marker, but then it will not turn out beautiful enough. However, freckles should be made with a thin marker. When you insert her antennae, sew her "hairstyle" right away. This can be done only along the bottom part, then there will be no extra seams visible, since then we will sew the front part to our back piece. Let's make legs for our Mila. First, you need to put on her knee socks, and then the shoes. Sew a black spot in the middle and on the sides. You need to sew on the inside again. Attach the collar. Carefully try on the parts, the back and the front, so that all the edges fit together clearly, and connect the head to the body of a cute ladybug. From the inside, attach its legs to the body, and work on the arms. Sew on the sleeve first, and only then the shoulder. Also, do not forget that there should be a hole for the fingers at the bottom. So be very careful when connecting the two parts. Do not rush. You still have a lot of time.
That's it! With your own hands you have made a wonderful toy for your child's puppet theater.
