The best ideas for making a New Year's boot with your own hands

Some of us love to give gifts, some of us love to receive, but both of us agree that beautiful wrapping is essential in the process of creating a surprise. Today we will look at options for New Year's boot patterns, in which you can place a gift and give it to your loved ones and family. The traditional shoes of Santa Claus have become as important an element of the New Year holidays as a Christmas tree, a wreath on the door or a bottle of sparkling wine. We'll tell you how to create and design

DIY New Year's boot from scrap materials.

Traditionally in the West, Christmas gifts are placed in socks.

The history of the tradition with the boot

It is no secret that it is in Western countries that St. Nicholas and Santa Claus put sweets and gifts in stockings, which is where this tradition came to us. According to legend, they brought gifts to children unnoticed. One day, Nikolai learned that three sisters lived on the outskirts of the village. They lost their parents early and lived quite poorly, barely making ends meet. Nikolai decided to help the orphans, climbed onto the roof and threw three gold coins into the house through a chimney.

You can easily make a New Year's boot together with your child. The gold got into the stockings, which were hanging to dry over the fireplace.

The next morning, the sisters were very surprised and delighted at the gifts and shared the good news with their neighbors, and they also decided to hang the stockings over the fireplace so that they too would receive something. This tradition originated in the 16th century, since then its popularity has only increased and is conquering more and more countries every year. In modern houses, of course, you can’t find a fireplace, but people have also found a way out and hang their boots on the bed frame or put them under the Christmas tree.

Paper boot with teddy bear

A New Year's boot can be easily made with children.

Let's start with the simplest design option for a New Year's boot made of paper. It is possible to involve children in this work; they will cope with it perfectly. Let's present one of the best ideas for designing a paper boot, for which you will need the following materials:

  • thick colored paper or cardboard;
  • scissors;
  • PVA glue;
  • pencil and eraser;
  • ribbon.

Let's get started:

  1. Fold a sheet of paper of the desired color in half and draw the outline of a New Year's boot on it. The back of the shoe should coincide lengthwise with the fold of the sheet on which we are drawing. Cut out the silhouette along the contour, you will end up with a pair of felt boots connected to each other.
  2. Next, fold a sheet of white paper in half and draw fur from a felt boot. It looks like a rectangle with torn sides and one of the sides should fall on the fold. Cut out the piece with scissors.
  3. Transfer the boot with fur onto the fabric and cut it out without any allowance.
  4. Glue the details of the pattern of the New Year's boot made of fabric to the paper elements on the back side. Glue along the outline, leaving space for gifts.
  5. When starting to decorate, forget about conventions and completely trust your design talent, and you undoubtedly have it, since you have already taken on this work. Drawings with felt-tip pens, paints, pencils, stickers made of paper, felt, felt, gluing rhinestones and various sparkles will be used - here the imagination is limitless. If desired, it is even possible to carefully embroider the design.
  6. At the last stage, we fold the ribbon in half and sew it to the edge of the boot so that we can hang it later.

It’s possible to make a large number of felt boots of different sizes and colors, so that you can decorate the New Year tree with them.

Paper gift sock

A boot for the New Year can be made from paper. It will be cheaper, but no worse. Moreover, you already have everything for him.

First, print out the template or redraw it on colored paper, or better yet, cardboard.

The base should be dense so that it does not sag from the glue.

Now let's arm ourselves:

  1. Glue stick. It’s better not to use regular PVA – it will saturate and shrink the paper.
  2. Scissors.
  3. Colored paper for decorations.
  4. Marker for painting.

Let's get started:

  1. Carefully cut out the New Year's boot from paper.
  2. There are vertical markings on the sides. We make cuts along them.
  3. Fold the workpiece in half.
  4. Glue the protruding squares.
  5. We turn away the ear.

All that remains is to decorate and you will get a cute boot for DIY gifts.

You can watch the instructions clearly in the video.

Felt boots made from a cup and foam plastic

An unusual combination of scrap materials attracts with its originality and accessibility, so we suggest making a New Year's felt boot from just such a combination. The result will be a voluminous craft that is well suited not only for decorating a Christmas tree, but will also take pride of place on the table as an extraordinary decoration. Let's prepare materials and tools:

  • a piece of foam plastic with a thickness of 5 cm;
  • popcorn glass;
  • cardboard;
  • fleece fabric;
  • artificial fur;
  • cotton wool;
  • thread, needle;
  • knife;
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • decorative cord;
  • decorations.

Would you be interested in making such a craft with your child?

Not really

Let’s make ourselves comfortable and begin the exciting work:

  1. On cardboard we draw a blank for the sole of a felt boot. We cut it out and transfer it to a piece of foam plastic. We cut out the foam in the shape of the sole and cut off a place from it in the heel area where the cup is planned to be located.
  2. Use a knife to round the nose of the felt boot and begin assembling the craft. Glue a sock onto a cardboard sole and place a cup in the form of a boot. If you are going to glue with a gun, then do not set the temperature to high, as this may cause the foam to melt.
  3. We mask unevenness and transitions with cotton wool.
  4. We try on the fabric by stretching it over the felt boots. It can be temporarily secured using clothespins. We cut off the excess and begin gluing the fleece onto the workpiece. At the top of the boot, leave an allowance of 1.5-2 cm for the hem.
  5. Sew the back seam with thread. We drape the fabric beautifully at the front and also sew it together. Don't forget about the allowance at the bottom to wrap it over the sole.
  6. On top of the boot we glue a strip of faux fur with a fold inward no more than 2 cm.
  7. We mask the seams, joints and gluing areas with decorative cord. Glue or sew on the prepared decorations.

We fill the felt boots with candies and other sweets. It is also possible to place a long candle in it and get a completely independent decorative element. However, do not forget about fire safety.

DIY New Year's gift made from candies “Santa Claus Shoe”!

The New Year holidays are getting closer and closer, bright and positive. In addition to a lot of amenities - holidays, relaxation, decorated Christmas trees, funny performances - they are also famous for the gifts that are customary to give to relatives and friends, colleagues and acquaintances. New Year's gifts made from candy remain very popular.

Before the New Year 2022, there is still time to make your own souvenirs, which are always more heartwarming than store-bought ones. And they may become the most popular ones - Santa Claus's shoes. Why? Because this is not only an attribute of a recognizable New Year's hero, but also a kind of packaging for sweets.

Making such a shoe is not difficult.

For this we will need the following materials:

  • 2 sheets of white felt (fleece) or any non-flowing material for the sole
  • universal glue
  • heat gun
  • plastic 1.5 liter bottle
  • corrugated cardboard
  • scissors, needle, thread
  • decorative braid
  • New Year's decor: snowflakes, Christmas tree branches, composite material

You can choose the color of the shoe to suit your taste. We will just remind you that 2022 is the year of the red fiery Rooster and all shades of red will be especially popular.

So, we have decided on the color of our souvenir, and we begin to make New Year's gifts from sweets with our own hands.

First, from the middle of a plastic bottle with straight walls, we cut out two parts of the shoe base: the bottom and the pipe.

If you take a larger bottle, the shoe will also be larger.

On the cardboard, next to each other, draw two circles with a pencil - this will be the sole. We add sidewalls to the figure eight on the sides to make the sole realistic.

Then we cut out and glue black felt onto the sole.

Felt can be replaced with thick paper or cardboard with a pattern.

Next we decorate the high part of the shoe. Cut a strip of white felt with a height twice as long as the height of the plastic pipe and a length equal to the circumference.

You can cover only the outside of the shoe with felt, but the decorated inside will look more aesthetically pleasing.

Using universal glue, glue the felt along the bottom: outside and inside. The imperfections along the edge will then be removed under the tape.

For the toe of the shoe, cut out a circle from white felt.

The diameter of the circle should be one and a half times larger than the diameter of the bottom of the bottle.

We collect the material along the edge with a “forward needle” seam and tighten it, securing the thread.

The shoe parts - the sole, toe and heel parts - are ready.

For beauty, we glue a piece of felt under the heel.

You can paste a congratulations card inside.

Then we glue the two upper parts to the base - the sole - using hot glue.

Now we decorate the shoe with braid around the circumference of the top, the joining seam at the top and around the sole.

For a New Year's shoe, decor in the form of snowflakes would be appropriate: you don’t have to skimp on them and “draw” even a blizzard with snowflakes!)

And now the fun part - decorating the finished structure. It should be fluffy in order to collect the two upper parts into a single whole. You can take a ready-made composition, or you can make decoration options from individual elements. Tinsel, small balls, and beads will look great here.

We attach everything with hot glue.

Don't forget about the figurine of a rooster: in the coming year it will be appropriate in any New Year's composition.

Our New Year's shoe with sweets is ready! Agree: original packaging for sweets or a small souvenir!

Happy New Year everyone and good luck in your creative endeavors!

Boot made of New Year's vanity fabric

It is possible to make a new New Year's boot with your own hands with festive motifs from fabric. We find a scrap of the desired size, color and begin to create. But first, let’s prepare the basic tools and materials:

  • pompom braid;
  • thread;
  • thin tape;
  • needle;
  • scissors;
  • fabric stickers;
  • paper and pencil.

The manufacturing instructions are approximately as follows:

  1. On paper, draw a pattern for a boot of the desired size and shape. We lay out the fabric with the wrong side up and apply the silhouettes of the product on it in two places in a mirror image of each other. Cut out both pieces, leaving an allowance of about 1 centimeter.
  2. Place them together with right sides facing in and sew along the outline, except for the top side.
  3. Turn inside out and sew the pom-pom braid to the boot, masking the fold. Sew several pompoms along the length of the sock.
  4. On the side of the craft, place thematic stickers symbolizing the New Year's fuss, for example, a Christmas tree, gifts, Santa Claus. Glue them with an iron. You can actually find a wide variety of stickers in fabric stores.
  5. Sew a loop of ribbon, fill the gift with souvenirs and hang it in a visible place.

I would like to note that you can actually make pom-poms for a New Year’s boot yourself if you don’t find anything suitable in the store.

New Year's boot made of felt with a sleeping mouse

An arsenal of felt sheets is present in any needlewoman’s collection, so let’s consider the option of making a New Year’s boot from felt. The material is great for small-sized crafts. We will need:

  • sheets of white, red, green, brown or blue felt;
  • a small amount of white material;
  • cardboard or paper;
  • pencil;
  • threads and scissors;
  • Moment glue or glue gun;
  • thin satin ribbon.

A felt boot can be decorated with any designs and patterns that only you have enough imagination for.

Manufacturing instructions:

  1. Draw or print a template for the top and main part of our New Year's felt boot. If an additional application is planned, then this should also be depicted on paper, in our case it is a mouse.
  2. Cut out the pattern, attach it to the wrong side of the fabric, trace the outline itself and an allowance of 1 centimeter. Cut out the parts and sew them by hand, or better yet by machine. Turn the workpiece inside out. Repeat with the boot and white felt.
  3. Sew the bootleg to the main part of the felt boot, turning the edges outward. Glue a figurine of a sleeping mouse covered with a blanket onto a New Year's felt boot.
  4. Sew a ribbon loop to the edge to hang the craft in the place you like.

The boot can be decorated not only with a mouse, but also with any other New Year's and winter motifs, for example, bullfinches, snowmen, Christmas trees, red berries.

3.Practical part of the master class

— Before starting work, we will repeat the safety precautions for working with a needle, pins, scissors and glue Moment:

  • use scissors only at your workplace;
  • place the scissors with the rings facing you;
  • pass the scissors rings first;
  • do not leave scissors open; store scissors in a case with the blades facing down;
  • do not bring them to your face or play with them;
  • keep the needle and pins in a pincushion;
  • Apply glue to the fabric in a thin layer;
  • make sure that the glue is closed with a cap;
  • If glue gets on your hands, wipe them with a napkin.

Let's try to make an interesting and unique gift with you - a Christmas boot. Believe in yourself and you will succeed.

To make a boot, we take all the necessary material (photo 1).

1. We fold the parts of the boot from white and red fabric with the right sides inward, aligning the cuts. Pin the pieces together perpendicular to the seam lines.

2. Take a needle and thread and sew down the parts of the boot using a “needle forward” stitch along the basting lines. Remove the pins and place them in the pincushion (photo 2). To make the product neat, the stitches should be the same and small. Pull the thread all the way. Don't forget to make a knot at the end of the seam.

3. We wrap the upper part of the boot and sew the folded layer with a “forward needle” seam (photo 3).


4.Sew a loop of satin ribbon on the side of the boot to the lapel (photo 4).

5. Turn the boot right side out and straighten the seam with your fingers along the entire length of the product.

- Now let's take a break and rest.

Physical education - 4 positions of the hand on a plane replace each other. Performed first with the right hand, then with the left hand. Next, with both hands at the same time:

Palms up, Palms down. And now they are on their side and squeezed into a fist.

Have you rested? We continue our master class.

6. Decorate the boot with beads, beads, sequins, gluing them with glue (photo 5). To make the work neat, apply glue to the fabric in a thin layer or dots. Create your own unique pattern. You can decorate the boot only along the edge, you can decorate the middle of the boot or its upper part. You can also decorate the boot in a single color scheme.

The work is ready!

4.Reflection. Summarizing.

Look how beautiful and different Christmas boots we have made. Each boot has its own pattern. Some used more sequins for the pattern, while others used more beads. Such wonderful boots will decorate the holiday for your family and friends.

Reflection technique “Mood Tree”:

-Dear guys, you have three leaves: red, blue and green. On the board we have a tree, only without leaves. I suggest you decorate it with leaves. If you attach a green leaf to a tree, this will mean that the master class was useful to you. you have acquired new knowledge for yourself. If you attach a red leaf to a tree, it means that you were interested in the lesson, but you knew this technology before and you did not gain new knowledge. And if you attach a blue leaf to a tree, it means that you are not in a very good mood, you were not interested in the lesson.

— Try to justify your answer (participants speak about holding a master class).

— Dear guys, we worked hard today. Everyone got their own unique Christmas boot. Your family and friends will be glad to receive such a sincere gift.

“Now let’s clap each other for interesting and fruitful work.”
And all I can do is thank you for your attention and participation in the master class. In order not to forget the address of the page and share with friends, add it to your social networks: Do you want to know news about competitions or master classes?

New Year's boot made of candy

Not only can you put sweets in the boot, but it itself can become a gourmet treat. It will serve as a wonderful decoration for the New Year's apartment, and then you can simply take it apart and eat it - double the benefit! For work you will need the following materials:

A candy tree will be an excellent addition to the sweet New Year's attributes.

  • foam sheet 5-7 cm thick;
  • round cylinder made of foam 10-20 mm in diameter;
  • candies;
  • glue gun;
  • decor as desired.

The step-by-step instructions are something like this:

  1. Draw the outline of the sole of the boot of the desired size on a sheet of foam plastic. Cut out the workpiece.
  2. Next we make the bootleg. If there is no cylinder, then a rectangle made of sheet metal with rounded edges will come to the rescue. Using a glue gun we connect both parts. Don’t forget that the foam melts at high temperatures, so we set the average values ​​on the gun.
  3. We begin to glue the candies onto the finished piece, trying not to leave any gaps or large spaces. The boot must be completely covered in candy chain mail.
  4. If desired, among the candies we attach pieces of tinsel, ribbon bows, Christmas tree branches, large beads and other decor.

This will make a wonderful candy gift that will delight not only children, but also adults. And rest assured that after the holiday there will be no trace left of it.

Boot with Santa made from ribbons

By making such a craft, you will find good use for fabric scraps.

The needlewoman always has a large number of cuts and just new rolls of assorted ribbons, and finally the time has come to put them to work. In addition to tapes, we will need the following materials:

  • bias tape with lurex;
  • adhesive web with a paper base;
  • cardboard and scissors;
  • canvas;
  • red satin cord;
  • red and green floss threads;
  • pins;
  • iron.

Let's stock up on imagination and get to work:

  1. Lay out any soft fabric on the table, and a cobweb on top, paper side down.
  2. Lay out tracks from different ribbons, butt to joint diagonally, and then thread other ribbons through to make a weave, secure with pins. Do the second part of the boot in the same way.
  3. Iron the base so that the ribbons are fixed on the web and unnecessary folds are removed.
  4. Print and cut out two identical parts of the boot from cardboard. One by one, attach them to the front side of the blanks, remove the paper part of the web and place the tape blanks on the canvas. Iron everything again, finish the edges of the fabric in any way and sew the parts.
  5. Sew bias tape with lurex on the edges, and canvas with winter embroidery on the tops. It is possible to attach a thermal sticker with Santa Claus to the side of the boot.

Instead of embroidered canvas, it is possible to sew strips of faux fur onto the bootleg.

Felt boot

The best solution would be to make an individual gift boot for each family member.

Let's try to break the tradition of depicting not a felt boot, but an elegant lady's boot, which the Snow Maiden herself probably liked. Made from felt, it will turn out to be rigid and can be used as a stand for a New Year's composition. To make a craft, prepare the following materials:

  • brown or gray felt;
  • white cardboard or paper;
  • scissors;
  • dense red and white threads;
  • large needle;
  • round beige buttons;
  • bells;
  • white lace;
  • red stones or beads for decoration.

Let's start the master class on making a New Year's boot:

  1. First, make a pattern of the part from cardboard or paper and cut it out. Place on sheets of felt and cut out two equal pieces.
  2. At the next stage, the halves should be decorated, because it will be inconvenient to do this later. Sew the prepared buttons, beads and rhinestones to the bootleg.
  3. We sew an openwork ribbon to the inside of the boot and let it out. Attach bells to the edges.
  4. We sew the two parts together by hand using coarse stitches and white thread. Attach a bell to the curved toe.

Place a gift, candy or a composition of fir branches inside. The boot will be an excellent gift for your loved ones.

Making the base

To make the product neat, first we make its pattern on paper. In order to get away a little from the classic form, I wanted to make a Christmas sock in the shape of an elf boot.

If you can’t make a sketch, use a little trick - take your sock and outline it. Add a folded element and the pattern is ready.


Felt boot pattern

Due to the fact that I was limited to an A4 sheet, my pattern turned out to be a little short. But it's okay. When transferred to felt, this can be easily corrected and the shaft lengthened.

We bend the top part and make sure that we are doing everything correctly.


We measure the thickness of the bend of the upper toothed part

In the image and likeness we cut out the second part of the boot.


Two parts of one boot

Now you can start connecting both halves.

Decorative seam

Typically, when working with felt and other similar materials, a hand stitch is used. It allows you to sew several parts without any bends, while creating an additional decorative effect. I also followed in the footsteps of proven technology and joined the halves of the boot using a hand-stitched stitch. For greater aesthetics and New Year's contrast, I took white thread.

It's quite simple to do, you just need to get used to it. And yet, when making such a seam, the main thing is evenness and symmetry. The stitch steps should be even and the stitch heights should be the same. The rarer such a seam is, the more beautiful and neat the product looks.

Instructions on how to do it are given below:

  • You need to secure the thread in the usual way from the inside. I started working below the folding part, so that if something happened, I could disguise my “first pancake as a lump.”
  • So, the first “stick” of the needle goes from bottom to top. It turns out to be a loop, and you need to thread the needle into it. You will get a connection like the one in the photo.

Thread the needle through the loop

  • Tighten the resulting loop thoroughly, while aligning the thread running along the edge of the product.


Loop stitch

  • We carefully ensure that the thread runs smoothly along the edge, without jams or distortions.


Side view

This is the stitched boot we ended up with.


Almost perfect buttonhole stitch

The video in this article describes in detail how to make a similar buttonhole stitch.

Original boot made from a plastic bottle

Agree, after reading the title, you were extremely surprised, because a plastic bottle is a rare material from which it is possible to make a New Year's boot. But our editorial team is always one step ahead and aware of trends in many aspects, including innovative approaches to decor. We suggest preparing the following materials:

  • two-liter plastic bottle;
  • cardboard;
  • red and white fluffy fabrics;
  • pencil;
  • braid;
  • glue;
  • scissors.

Stages of making a boot from a plastic bottle.

Having prepared the tools and materials, let's get to work:

  1. Cut the bottle into 3 parts. We leave about 5-7 mm in height at the bottom, and the main part of the bottle will serve as the boot, so choose its size based on your desire. We don't need the neck of the bottle.
  2. Place the 2 pieces on the cardboard so that they touch each other and trace with a pencil. We cut out the sole of the New Year's boot, then it should be cut out.
  3. Place the sole on the red fabric and trace it directly and taking into account the allowance. The second part is made according to the dimensions of the cardboard blank without allowance.
  4. Glue the sole to the fabric, turning the edges. On top, on the folded edges, glue the second part of the pattern, which will cover the wrong side and the sole is ready.
  5. Let's start with the boot. We take the middle part of the bottle and cut out a rectangle from the fabric, where the height is equal to the size of the boot, and the length is the circumference of the bottle. Don’t forget to leave an allowance so that there are no obvious joints and there is enough material for the hem.
  6. Cover the entire plastic cylinder with a cloth using glue. When you fold the bottom edge and glue it to the bottle, leave the edges unglued, about 5 centimeters from each edge.
  7. Now we apply glue inside the bottle along the edge and glue a piece of white fabric, approximately 35-40 cm wide. We bend the fabric outward and it is already possible to estimate the appearance of the future product.
  8. We make the nose of the boot from the bottom of a bottle. We cover it with red fabric and sew it on, tightening it in the form of a bag.
  9. Apply glue around the base of the sock and shaft and glue the parts to the finished sole. The blank is ready, all that remains is to decorate it.
  10. We seal the joints with openwork braid. We also glue it along the perimeter of the edge of the white fabric. It is possible to attach a bell and a couple of spruce branches or glue a holly with ribbons and bells. Decorate as your imagination dictates.

The color of the boot does not have to be red, make it blue, like for the Snow Maiden, or green, like for the elf. If the size allows, you can put a bottle of champagne in the boot, which will create a beautiful and original stand.

Shoes for gifts, sweets

The candies themselves will not be a surprise for children, but those packed in Santa Claus's boots will cause a storm of emotions. Teenagers can make their own New Year's crafts for school, for the city Christmas tree or for a holiday competition. To help children and adults, our step-by-step instructions for souvenirs made from inexpensive materials.

From a plastic bottle

Materials:

  • plastic liter bottle;
  • plastic cup;
  • cardboard and glue;
  • wool sock with New Year's symbols;
  • decorative braid.

Sections 5 and 12 cm high are cut off from the bottle. A sole blank is made on cardboard, cutting 2–3 mm wider than the outline.

The parts are glued to the base.

The sock is covered with cotton wool to smooth out any unevenness.

A little cotton wool in the boot and a plastic cup are needed for strength.

Carefully place a sock on the assembled frame.

White braid with pompoms is used for decoration.

From a plastic bottle and twine

Materials:

  • plastic bottle;
  • roll of twine;
  • glue;
  • colored paper;
  • voluminous white fabric;
  • a sheet of cardboard measuring at least 30x15 cm;
  • Christmas decorations.

The size of the souvenir will depend on the bottle. A small tabletop shoe can be made from a yogurt container. A voluminous boot worth half a kilo of candy will come out of a one and a half liter bottle.

  1. Using a utility knife and scissors, prepare the bottle and the sole blank as described above. Immediately make a separate pattern from fabric or paper for the bottom of the boot, which will be needed for decoration in step 5.

  2. The workpiece is covered with masking tape, starting from the bottom.

  3. 3 rows are enough. Each subsequent one is half superimposed on the previous one.

  4. The sock is formed by covering all the unevenness of the bottom with masking tape. The depression between the boot and the toe is also covered.

  5. The bottom of the boot, where the sweets will lie, is decorated with fabric or paper.
  6. The next stage is decorating with twine. Starting from the bottom, glue is applied to the semi-finished product in sections 5–6 cm long and the twine is pressed. The string is not pulled.
  7. The rows are laid tightly and evenly.

  8. When the height of the sock ends, continue laying it on the boot.

  9. The last row is placed on the plastic cut. The twine is cut and the end is secured with glue.
  10. The upper part of the sock is closed in circles with the end of the work in class=”aligncenter” width=”1024″ height=”543″[/img]
  11. Glue is applied to the sole, placed on colored paper and pressed.

  12. Excess is carefully removed.
  13. A lapel is formed from white fabric 14 cm wide and slightly longer than the circumference of the boot. To do this, bend and glue 2 cm along the entire length on one side, and 1 cm on the other.

  14. The fabric is laid in a wide double part on the top of the boot, starting almost from the middle of the back. 1 cm is tacked to glue the joint. Apply glue and align it to the width of the lapel. There should be no folds on the outside.

  15. The end of the fabric is folded and a tight fold is made.
  16. Inside the boot, the lapel is secured by making small folds.

  17. The boot is ready, all that remains is to decorate it with any New Year's tinsel, beads or just snowflakes cut out of paper and fill it with candies.

The video below has a similar idea with a plastic bottle, but with a fabric top.
