Crafts from foamiran
How to decorate your workplace or New Year's table? The Christmas tree branch is very large and can interfere with your work. But a little Santa Claus made of shiny foamiran is just right. It will not only decorate, but will also attract the views of your colleagues. Children in kindergarten will also appreciate this craft.
MK was prepared by Svetlana Sorokina. Let's start.
To create Santa Claus we will need:
- Glitter foamiran red and white, 2 mm thick;
- Chinese or marshmallow foamiran, beige, 1 mm thick;
- Pink or red pompom with a diameter of 1 cm;
- White pompom with a diameter of 1.5-2 cm;
- 2 half beads for eyes with a diameter of 2-3 mm;
- Decorative splint in silver color.
Step-by-step description of the work:
We will make Santa Claus in the shape of a cone. For this we need a compass. We measure 11.5 cm on a compass, apply it to the corner of the back side of the foamiran and draw from one edge to the other (Photo 1).
We draw another blank with a compass width of 8 cm (Photo 2).
Cut out the blanks (Photo 3).
Glue the edges of a large piece together to form a cone. Don't worry if you can see glue on the glue line (Photo 4).
Cut a strip of white glitter foamiran 1-1.3 cm wide. Stretch it a little at one edge (Photo 5).
Glue it to the bottom of the cone (Photo 6).
From the decorative tire we cut a strip with two rows of rhinestones and glue it in the center onto white foamiran (Photo 7).
We make a Santa Claus hat from a small piece of red foamiran. We glue the edges not to each other, but to overlap one edge over the other (about 2 cm). This will make the hat thinner. We glue a decorative strip along the edge. We bend the tip of the cap and glue it (Photo 8).
Glue the white pompom (Photo 9).
Trim the top a little. We glue the rhinestone tire along the gluing line, but not the entire length. The beard will hide the rest (Photo 10).
Cut out the shape of a face from a flesh-colored one. I made it a little longer than the template so that it would hide behind the hat (Photo 11).
Glue the face, pink pompom and draw eyes (Photo 12).
Cut out two blanks for the beard. Small along the contour of the face, and the second one is slightly larger (Photo 13).
Making fringe. Apply it to the iron for a few seconds to make it curl a little (Photo 14).
First glue the large part (Photo 15).
Then a small one. Glue half beads into the eyes. Funny Santa Claus is ready.

The best New Year's Tildas
1. Prepare the pattern. First, we determine the diameter of the bottom of the cone and its desired height and, based on this, we build a scan in any convenient way. Calculation formulas and construction methods are easy to find on the Internet. We draw the pattern of the hands randomly.

2. Cut out a circle from thick cardboard, draw a line through its center, which we divide into three equal segments. At their joints we cut holes for the wire. We apply a padding polyester circle and a circle of colored fabric of a slightly larger diameter. We tighten the fabric around the cardboard.
3. Bend the thick wire in a U-shape and pierce it through the holes in the cardboard, padding polyester and fabric. We bend the ends of the wire at the “ankles” and make “feet”. We screw a thin copper wire to the jumper with a length longer than the height of the cone, about 10 centimeters.
4. Important! Carefully glue the wire to the cardboard with hot glue and glue the wire joint. At this stage, the structure should be well balanced and stable, the cardboard should not fall down the wire!
Legs for Santa Claus
5. From colored fabric, cut out two rectangles approximately one and a half times longer than the length of the legs and about 4 centimeters wide. Fold it in half lengthwise, stitch it, turn it inside out. We stretch it over the legs and sew it to the bottom with a hidden seam.
6. Cut out a cone shape from cotton fabric for the body. Fold it in half and stitch along the edge, leaving the last couple of millimeters at the top unsewn. We bend the edge around the circumference and baste. Turn the resulting cone out of the fabric.
Body of Santa Claus
7. We put the cone on a thin wire, bringing its free end through the hole at the top. We stuff the body with holofiber. Make sure that while stuffing the wire remains approximately in the center of the cone. We sew the folded edge of the body around the circumference to the bottom using a hidden seam.
8. Cut out the soles from cardboard. Draw them arbitrarily, the main thing is that it is a little longer at the back and front than the wire loops. We glue the soles to the wire with hot glue, ensuring their stability.
9. Using scissors and a utility knife, cut out the “boots” from foam rubber. We cut a recess at the bottom for the wire and cut a slot at the back in order to insert the “ankles” into it. What is more important here is not accuracy, but the symmetry of the “boots”. We glue the foam rubber with hot glue.
10. Cut out two ovals from red fleece of such a size that it is enough to cover the foam rubber “boots” with a small margin. At one of the elongated vertices of the oval, we cut out a sector in the form of a triangle, put the fleece on the foam rubber, sew up the back with a hidden seam and tighten the fleece around the cardboard sole.
11. We also cut out two ovals from felt of a suitable color, slightly larger than the cardboard sole. We glue the felt to the sole with hot glue, trim off the excess, and sew the felt to the fleece with a hidden seam.

12.Draw approximate lines for the top of the jacket and the bottom of the cap on the body. There will be a face between them. We cut out a small circle from the fabric, put a ball of padding polyester inside, and tighten it along the edge. This creates a nose that needs to be sewn onto the face with a hidden seam.
13. Prime the face with white acrylic paint. We try not to go too far into the territory of future beards and hair, so that in the future there will be no difficulties with their fitting. What kind of face to draw is a matter of your taste and imagination.

14. We cut out a jacket in the shape of a truncated cone from red fleece, fold it in half, sew along the edges, turn it inside out. We sew handles in mittens from fleece and colored fabric, leaving holes for stuffing, turn it inside out, stuff it, sew up the holes with a blind seam.
15. Stretch the jacket over the body, sew it at the bottom and along the neckline with a hidden seam. Temporarily pin the handles to evenly distribute the applique. We cut out the parts from felt, pin them to the body, and finally think through the placement of the composition.
16. We first fix the applique parts to the fleece with a drop of Moment glue so that they do not move, and only then sew them on. If desired, we use buttons, beads, beads, and decorative elements. We sew “snowdrift” ribbons made of white fleece with hidden seams.
Fur coat for Santa Claus
17. Cut out the boot cuffs and cuffs from white fleece, fold them in half, and sew along the edges. We stretch it over the arms and legs and sew it on by hand.
18. Using the same principle, we cut out and sew on the collar. To maintain the “snowdrift” style, the edge of the collar, cuffs, boot cuffs and cap can be made wavy.
New Year's magic
19.Sew the arms to the body with a strong thread using a button fastening. We tighten the thread a little, tie a knot and glue it with Moment glue for strength.
20. We tear off about 10 centimeters of wool from the combed tape, collect it into a bundle of the required thickness and carefully roll it with a felting needle, like a beard. Then we tear off a tuft of wool, 2 times thinner and about 20 centimeters long, and roll it in the middle under the nose, like a mustache.
21.Tear off two more tufts of wool, equal in length and thickness to the beard, and roll them on both sides of the face. Using the back of a felting needle, carefully comb and arrange the wool into a full beard.
Beard and mustache for Santa Claus
22.We also roll and shape the hair on the sides and back of the head. If necessary, you can trim it a little with scissors and spray it with regular hairspray to prevent the fur from frizz.
Hair for Santa Claus
23. Based on half of the cone, we cut out a cap that is very elongated and narrowed towards the top from colored fabric. The height of the cap should correspond to the length of the free end of the wire plus 1-2 centimeters for freedom of bending. We sew the parts, leaving the top open.
Hat for Santa Claus
24. We turn the cap inside out, put it on the head, bringing the wire through the top hole, and sew it along the edge to the head. Bend the end of the wire into a loop. We sew on a white fleece lapel and a pompom, hiding the end of the wire in it.
24. Santa Claus is almost ready. If necessary, we add decor to complete the look. If you want, you can additionally sew a bag with gifts, a Christmas tree or, for example, a symbol of the year in a pair.
Santa Claus is ready! More real miracles for you!

How to make Santa Claus from fabric
A master class on how to make a Grandfather using the “sculptural textile” technique from Natalia Kudinova became the winner of our New Year’s competition. The work, of course, will require a lot of time and effort, but as a result you will receive a toy that is in no way inferior to factory ones in quality, but with its own character, appearance, and in an individual suit.
There is a similar video master class on YouTube:

Felt craft
Recently, homemade New Year's toys have become very popular. With their help, you can create a unique festive look for your Christmas tree. Today we will sew a Christmas tree toy in the shape of Santa Claus from felt. Master class with a pattern from Anna.
To make such a toy you will need:
- Felt red, beige, white;
- Needle;
- Sewing thread;
- Knitting thread;
- Sintepon;
- Scissors;
- A sheet of paper and a pen;
- Black nail polish.
First, as usual when sewing from felt, let's draw a template on a sheet of paper. All details can be drawn together. Photo 1
Now you need to cut out all the parts from felt. You can make such a toy from any felt, both soft and hard.
First we will work with the red material, that is, with the main one. Cut out Santa Claus from paper and trace him on felt. Cut out 2 identical figures. This will be the front and back of the toy. Now we cut out the mustache and beard from the paper template. Can be cut in one piece. Then we trace the part on white felt and cut it out in 1 copy. Now we cut out the frill element of the cap. We also trace it on white felt and cut it out in 2 copies, since the toy will be double-sided. All that remains is to cut out the details of the face and nose. They will require beige felt. We cut out these parts 1 piece at a time.
Now let's start stitching. First we need the front part to be red. We sew the face, nose and beard with mustache onto it.
Now we put the back part of Santa Claus on the back and start sewing the 2 parts. In this case, you need to place the details of the cap's frill on the back and front. When we sew 2 parts, we will sew the frill at once, so as not to make unnecessary seams. We’ll also sew on the pompom right away. Cut out 2 identical circles from white felt. Between them we place the tip of the cap and stitch it.
Then we sew to the bottom, connecting the 2 parts. At this stage we fill the part with padding polyester. But not too tight so that the toy does not swell.
All that remains is to design the face. To do this, it is more convenient to use black nail polish and a needle. We blot the tip of the needle with varnish so that a small drop forms at the end. We drip it into the place of the eye, and then repeat again, forming the second eye. Lightly apply blush to your cheeks and nose.
We will attach a red knitting thread to the back so that the toy has a loop for hanging. The felt Christmas tree toy is ready, is it Father Frost, or Santa Claus, or maybe a Christmas gnome?
