How to make volumetric letters of the child's name from cloth and sintepon? With the help of letters you can decorate a baby's room or congratulate him on a holiday
Not long ago it became fashionable to decorate a child's roomroom or bedroom of the newlyweds with names from sewn letters. Such inscriptions are easy to make with your own hands, if you have a sewing machine or enough patience to create hand stitches, and you should also have scraps of fabric. Name inscriptions are created from any color of fabric of different quality, even the shape of the letters is selected individually, comparable to any font. Another advantage of homemade room decorations is that you can create them in any size, according to the parameters of the wall, bed or chest of drawers.
Key role in the individuality of this decorIt is not only the set of symbols that make up your name that matters, but also their color. After all, you can make the letters blue, light green, with flowers or polka dots, that is, whatever your mood or design pleases you. The quality of the material can be any, but it is still not recommended to use organza, chiffon, because this fabric is not only transparent, but also quickly unravels in the seams. Therefore, opt for calico, chintz, cotton, velor. These materials come in a million colors, they are durable, comfortable, pleasant to the touch, and can also be washed in warm water without any difficulty. For each detail, the amount of material corresponding to its size is spent, but twice as much, since each letter has a front side and a back side. You will also need a strip of fabric for the side of each element, it is advisable to choose it in a different contrasting color. The volume of the letters directly depends on the width of this strip, so choose it in the range from 5 to 15 centimeters. You also need to prepare synthetic padding or cotton wool, any other filler will do, which will help to stuff the letters, give them the desired shape and volume. Do not use cellophane, as it makes an unpleasant squeak. Paper is not suitable either, because it can quickly wrinkle, felt and the product will lose its shape, and paper filler is impractical in terms of washing. You will need a pattern for each letter. It can be made in at least two ways - the first is to print out the font you like in a large format, that is, for the name "Arisha" on separate sheets you need to print the letters: a, p, i, sh, there is no point in printing the second "a", since a template for the first letter will do. It should be taken into account that the font should be wide enough so that the details do not come out thin and incomprehensible. The second way is to draw the letters with a pencil on a sheet of paper. Fantasy drawings will not work here, it is necessary to draw wide letters without unnecessary branches, squiggles, etc., because such elements are extremely difficult to bring to life when sewing parts together and stuffing them with padding polyester. The drawn letter templates must be cut out and attached to a piece of fabric folded in half to create the front side of the souvenir letter and its back side. The cut out parts are never sewn together. At the next stage, cut a strip with straight edges from another material, the width of this strip is from five centimeters or more, the larger the strip, the more massive and attractive all the details. Next, sew the strip and one letter detail, with the front parts of the elements overlapping each other. The seam runs 3-4 mm from the edge. If you do not have a sewing machine, you can do a dense overcasting by hand, using a thread folded in half.
You need to sew the horizontal lower sidesletters, through these slits the product will be turned to the front side. In these places the insert will also be sewn, but its seam is located across, it should be thin and barely noticeable. The second template detail in the form of a letter is sewn in a similar way to a transverse strip of another fabric. In this case, do not sew the lower edges of each letter element either.
In the next step, turn all the parts inside outcovers so that the front side is facing out. For convenience, you can use a long wooden stick (from Chinese cuisine, or a large pencil). It is very important to straighten out all the corners in each fabric letter, so that later they can be carefully filled with soft material. Now you need to fill the letter covers with some kind of filler. For example, use unnecessary scraps of fabric, or old cotton wool. The cutest letters are obtained when filled with synthetic padding, because it is quite light, soft, gentle and quickly takes any shape without coercion, fits well into the corners. You need to fill the letter covers gradually, first try to push the synthetic padding into the farthest edges, then tightly stuff the middle. The lower edge should be well filled with soft filler, try to ensure that it does not fall out beyond the line of the future seam.
Now we need to sew up the lower sections of the souvenirsletters. First, the transverse tape is sewn to one template, then the filler is adjusted again, the edges are folded inward and the last seam is sewn. Interesting and unusual letters are ready to decorate your room. They can be fixed above the baby's crib or laid out above the sofa. Sometimes small windows made of thick film are sewn to these letters, you can put funny photos or bright pictures there.
The color of the letters does not always have to be one color,You can combine shades. For example, the outer letters in the princess's name will be bright crimson, and then the color becomes less saturated towards the center, and the letter in the middle becomes soft pink.
