How to make Santa Claus for a Christmas tree with your own hands: Instructions

So, to create a figure of Santa Claus, you need to prepare:

As you can see, you will have to try. Moreover, in advance, come up with costumes for figures and select the right fittings. For the costume, even the smallest details are important, each element is part of the whole image.

So, first, cut a small strip from the thread. The Snow Maiden requires a width of 30 cm, and for Santa Claus - 35 cm. After that, wind the fabric on the pin from the stand and tie the threads in three places.

Form the doll’s head from cotton wool, but it is better to take a little more than you need, because cotton wool will settle down a little and then the workpiece will turn out to be less than the required size.

We take Len with the next. Cut a piece of 20x20 from it and wrap their head a little obliquely. Gently make the back of the head with folds, tightening the fabric, form your face. Turn the fabric with a thread near the base. Bind as much as possible so that the design does not break up.
Cut another rectangle, but already in size 25x15. It must also be wrapped on the head and tied on the neck. After that, the fabric is turned onto the head.
Now our head is ready and you can start the body. His volume should turn out in such a way that the doll seemed a little half -hearted.

Next, turn the fabric on the front side and carefully correct the cotton wool. When you form a body for a doll, tie it tightly threads. You will need another piece of flax-21-23 cm wide, and make the length of the growth of the doll.
Now we put the fabric on the head and tightly tie a thread along the neck. After that, wrap the body. So you get a shirt and you can decorate it with different patterns.
The next step will be the connection of the pin and the stands with PVA glue. Let the design dry out, completely spread it with glue so that you can install a doll. When you end, leave the glue dry.

The doll belt can be made of white flax. It will be enough to cut a strip of 5 cm wide. The length is made based on the volume of the body that you did.

Speak the belt with beads. The drawing can be any. Here we must show imagination. When the belt is ready, then put it under the waist and go with hidden seams for fixing.
Now proceed to your hands. They need to be done carefully, observing all the proportions. Take a couple of strips of flax and make each triangle. Form your fingers and tie the brush with a thread to make the palm.
Make sleeves made of fabric, as for the lower shirt. On the cuffs you can make beautiful lace.
The next step is to transfer the pattern for a fur coat to paper. For example, you can use this scheme:

Contact the shape of the doll to the required height. To do this, attach the resulting pattern to the body and see what needs to be added and what, on the contrary, remove. When everything is ready to transfer the pattern on the fabric and cut the details. Do not forget about the allowances for the seams. The patterns do not take them into account. In addition, you need to add a centimeter to the shoulder seams. It is important to note that parts from the upper and lining fabric are cut.
Now make a fur coat to Santa Claus and fade all the passes. On the front side you can make drawings using markers in textiles. This will see where to place the embroidery, and after washing the marker will disappear.

Embroidery is possible with beads of various shapes. Choose what you like best, you can even alternate. For example, trim the curls with a vestibule seam with silver metallized threads.
Be sure to sew all the details on the typewriter together. This also applies to the lining. Then turn out the finished product and reward.
Our doll is almost ready, it remains to make a beard and hair. They are made of felting wool and glued to glue. Put the form for felting a form.

Cut the hat and make beads embroidery on it. Get the seams on the typewriter, turn out and squeeze. Place the finished hat on your head and fix it with threads.
To completely complete the costume, you can make an additional fittings, for example, buttons on a fur coat. Decorate the stand too, paint it with paint. The staff of the grandfather can be made from a long stick and wrapped its top with a metallized thread.

How to make a snow maiden for a Christmas tree with your own hands: Instructions

For Snow Maiden, good preparation is also required. You will need it to create it:

Progress:

Take your head dolls, you can Barbie or any other. Rinse it well with shampoo and dry
Take a sheet of paper and draw a future body on it. Do this with a small margin so that it seemed slightly thick. This superfluous will go into a girth, so do not worry.

Be sure to make a mount so that the head holds on a finished doll. The upper part of the mount enters the head, and there is still a place for the neck. It is important that your top does not turn out less than the hole in the head, because then it will hang out.
This approach, of course, is not the best, but it is simple. Such a doll will definitely not be sold, but it will do it quite well.

Then we cut out our body blank and pinch it to the fabric. Go through the threads along the edges and stitch on the typewriter to the shoulders. After that, cut all unnecessary and turn out.

Now we need to do that our Snow Maiden stands. To do this, make a frame from the following materials:

Take the wire and twist it in terms of body size as in a pattern. It is important that the ends are bent by the pliers and a small loop is obtained.
Be sure to make sure that the size of the frame is suitable for you. He must reach the end of all the limbs of the doll and enter the neck.
Then we strengthen the frame with the help of adhesive plasters. This will make it shed, and the ends of the wire will not be visible. Moreover, so the frame will be fortified, it will not break up, if suddenly the children decide to play with a doll.

The Snow Maiden will bend both legs and arms. First, put the skin under the frame and fill it with a holofiber to get the body. To do this, you can use wool or sticks for sushi. Vata should be distributed in such a way that there are no irregularities. Only do not especially zeal, because the middle of the legs will be open.
Next, we make bulges with the help of a denser distribution of Hollofiber. Distribute it through the body so that it cannot be felt. After that, sew your neck and shoulders. Such an angle of inclination is chosen because square shoulders can turn out, and the figure will become heavy. So this approach will avoid this.
Now you can put your head in place and start creating shoes. To do this, you can use puppet boots if they are or do something to your taste. Just keep in mind that the frame should come in completely.
Even for the Snow Maiden, mittens are needed. To do this is easy and everyone will cope with such work.

It remains to make a dress. The pattern is obtained from an existing figure. So we get two details. They can be decorated beautifully to your taste. To do this, use beads, threads, and so on.

Then make the upper caftan. You will get two parts for the back, two for sleeves and two passes.
Before moving a slanting inhibitory. It is better to take a silver color. The brocade is very sprinkled and its edges need to be paid special attention.
Attach a little fur to the collar and tie a hat. To do this, take the hook and dial the right number of loops, and then reduce them.

Subtate the hat with a holofiber so that the head does not shine through, and glue it. Remember that you need to make a gate, because you can get a skullcap.
Make a beads and beads for a doll. You can glue the earrings if there are holes, but you need to do it carefully so as not to spoil the work.
