For New Year and Christmas we always decorate ourat home, we create gifts, decorations and other surprises in a variety of techniques. Each of them is interesting in its own way and even only because any products made with your own hands always radiate special warmth and love. And for the New Year, it would be logical to offer you to sew beautiful Christmas trees for decoration, wouldn't it? Among other things, they can be given to a loved one for the New Year. Such a gift will be completely exclusive.In order to sew a couple of these wonderful magical Christmas trees we will need:
- a piece of dark green felt;
- a piece of light green felt;
- holofayber or synthepon;
- transparent fabric glue (Moment "crystal", Dragon);
- thread in the tone of the fabric;
- narrow bands of organza;
- a set of different colors of sequins and beads for decoration;
- stand for decor;
- two wooden sticks;
- awl;
- decorative snowflake and bell;
- scissors.
So, when all the above materialsprepared, we proceed to the process of making decorative Christmas trees from textiles. To do this, draw the outline of the Christmas tree on a piece of paper. Indicate the number of parts in pencil on each image.Then prepare small pieces of green and light-green felt. Fold it in half. In our case, there is no front and back side, so fold it as you like.Now we pin the paper pattern of the Christmas tree to the fabric.Using chalk or a simple pencil, transfer the outline of the pattern onto the felt.We sew the Christmas tree parts along the marked linesmachine stitching. Leave an open, unstitched area at the bottom for turning the garment inside out. Cut out the Christmas trees with small allowances and make notches close to the seam along the width of the allowances with the tips of the scissors. Be careful not to damage the integrity of the stitching. Otherwise, you will have to remake the garment again.Now we turn the Christmas trees out through the holes left on the front side. We straighten the seams in the narrowed places with a needle.Fill the trees with holofiber through the open areas. If you don't have holofiber, you can use silicone or synthetic padding as filling. I never recommend using cotton wool.Using invisible hand stitches, we sew up the open areas filled with filler on the products.After that, take a set of different sequins and lay them out on the front side of the trees in whatever composition you wish.We fix the selected composition on the Christmas tree using tailor's pins.Sequins can be attached with transparent glue (Moment "crystal" or Dragon). It is better to sew beads with hand stitches, with threads in the same color as the beads, so they will be attached more securely.We will hang a decorative snowflake on an organza ribbon. We will tie the ends of the ribbon.We hang a snowflake on a ribbon on the top of the tree. To prevent it from falling, you can secure it on the back with a few hand stitches.We decorate the second tree with another composition of sequins and beads. We fix the drawing with pins. We also sew on the beads with threads, and glue the sequins with glue.We tie the bell to the ribbon. We will decorate this tree with a ringing metal bell. We sew it to the top of the second tree.We make wooden sticks for attaching Christmas treesdifferent lengths - one longer than the other. The ends of the sticks on both sides should be sharp. We insert them into the bottom of the trees. Carefully pierce the felt with the sticks. We coat the place where the sticks enter with a few drops of transparent glue so that they hold.Using an awl, make two holes on the stand.For beauty, we tie organza bows at the base of the trees.We put one drop of glue into the prepared holes on the stand. We insert the Christmas trees into them. The decor is ready.And the trees themselves look great, don't they? And if you wrap them beautifully, then such a wonderful gift will conquer any person, regardless of age! Good luck to you and easy work!
