Master class with step-by-step photos "The Birth of Santa Claus" (making Santa Claus under the Christmas tree)

Master class progress:

Before the New Year holidays, many parents, as well as kindergarten teachers and school teachers ask themselves the urgent question: how to make an outfit for the main New Year's hero with their own hands. You can buy a ready-made carnival costume in a store or order a New Year's dress sewing in an atelier. But this is not always profitable in financial matters, and there is no desire to buy a cheap and low-quality outfit by Morozko or Santa Claus, which is sold in every supermarket. Children are unlikely to believe in such a wizard, and the New Year's fairy tale will be ruined.

Components of the outfit

First, let's figure out what parts the decoration consists of: a fur coat, a hat, mittens, a bag with gifts, a magic staff and a white beard with a mustache. Of course, the main and rather complicated part of the outfit is a fur coat, which must be sewn exclusively according to patterns. By the way, if you are smart, you can use a pattern for a bathrobe with long sleeves or an old coat of the simplest style.

New Year's decoration pattern

Before sewing fur coats and hats for Santa Claus choose a short-pile fabric first... This could be, for example:

To finish a fur coat and hat you will need:

• white fur;
• batting;
• synthetic winterizer that can be replaced with a beautiful white fabric.

Fur coat for the main character

Usually this role is entrusted to men, but women also often have to dress up as a grandfather. The fur coat is worn on clothes, so the size will be approximately 50, 52, 54. And the grandfather of size 46 will seem ridiculous, but he must be omnipotent. This means that a lot of fabric will be needed. First you need to take measurements with a centimeter tape from the one for whom you need to sew a Santa Claus costume. Then you need to carefully study the selected pattern and make sure that it fits in size.

• a piece of chalk or a remnant of dry soap;
• ruler and measuring tape;
• finished, cut out patterns.

Then the fabric should be cut, leaving seam allowances of about two centimeters.

The fur coat is sewn from five parts: two front shelves (right and left), back, collar and belt.

After the parts are cut and cut, you can start connecting the parts. First, you need to sew on the shoulders two front shelves with a back, then sew the side seams on the seamy side. All seams must be machined with a zigzag, overlock or special scissors, so that later the edges of the material do not sprinkle and do not diverge.

Separately, you need to sew the sleeves and process the seams. Then the sleeves need to be sewn into the armholes of the fur coat. The main thing is to do it correctly so that the sleeves fit correctly.

When the main part of the fur coat is ready, it remains to sew the collar cut from white fur or any other fabric. You can also cut and sew a collar out of the same fabric as your fur coat, and then sew on a fur collar.

The last detail of the garment is the belt (sash), it should be wide and long so that it can be doubled around the waist and tied in front. To cut out such a belt, a special pattern is not needed, you can cut out a piece in size, twenty centimeters wide, taking into account seam allowances and three meters long. If you only have short pieces of fabric, and there is no piece of suitable length left, make a sash piece from several pieces and sew them together.

Then the resulting blank of the sash must be folded in length exactly in half, carefully bend the edges inward and sew the entire part on a sewing machine. Your belt is ready, its ends on two edges can be decorated with white faux fur, fringe or fabric.

Christmas hat for Santa Claus

After the fur coat is ready, you can do sewing hats for vesting Santa Claus.

To do this, you need a pattern. Using a measuring tape, take measurements from the person to whom the item is intended. If you are sewing for a child, all measurements must be taken from the baby, for an adult outfit - from an adult.

When the size of the selected pattern is ideal, then it can be transferred to the fabric. It is necessary to transfer to the fabric with the required dimensions.

The hat consists of three parts:

• top part;
• band.

After the finished pattern is transferred to the fabric from the seamy side, you need to cut out all the details, not forgetting about the seam allowances. Then you need to sew the upper part of the cap with the bottom. To keep the cap in shape, a band should be sewn from starched cotton fabric or from cardboard, thick paper. At the end of the work, the hat, like the collar of a fur coat, must be decorated with white fur or fabric.

If you are preparing Morozko's magic decoration for a class or kindergarten, a magic stick-staff should be an indispensable attribute of this. A bag of gifts is also needed. Let's see how to sew it.

Frost bag

Sew a bag for Frost's gifts quite simple. To do this, you will need a piece of fabric you like, a sewing machine, a tailor's tape measure and fifteen minutes of free time. Ideally, the Santa Claus gift bag should be sewn from the same fabric as the entire costume. But if there is no similar matter left, the bag can be sewn from any, the main thing is that it matches the color or has universal colors:

• Red and blue;
• silver and gold;
• white and oily.

So, you need to cut out two identical rectangular parts 1 meter long and 80 centimeters wide. Sew both parts on a sewing machine on three sides from the wrong side, process the edges of the seams with a zigzag or overlock.

Tuck the top of the bag inward by five centimeters and sew on a typewriter. In the resulting lapel, you need to insert a braid or tape, with which the bag will be pulled together. Instead, you can cut out a strip of fabric that is seventy centimeters long and ten centimeters wide, tuck in and sew the edges. Then sew it in the middle to one side seam on the front side so that the bag can be tied with this ribbon.

To make all the details of Santa Claus's New Year's decoration look magical and truly fabulous, you need to add to the decoration additional decor... The easiest way is to decorate an outfit with shiny tinsel that you can sew on:

• along the edges of the fur coat;
• on the cuffs;
• on the collar;
• as the edge of the cap.

You can embroider snowflakes by hand or on a sewing machine with silver, gold or white thread; to sew on the costume shimmering sequins, rhinestones, beads and other decorative elements. You can knit openwork snowflakes and sew them on the fur coat and hat of Santa Claus.

Making a staff

The image of Frost will be incomplete if there is no magic in the hands, fairy staff... It is not at all difficult to make it. It is necessary to take a long club, wooden or plastic, wrap and glue it with foil. And also can be painted with white, silver or gold paint from a spray can.

The top of the magic staff is crowned with a large star. Cut out a large five-pointed star from thick cardboard and glue it with foil or paint it with paint. The edges of the star and the staff can be decorated with shiny tinsel, large beads, rhinestones, snowflakes and any New Year's decor made with your own hands or bought in a store can be glued on them.

You can supplement the magic star with a pair of small bells that will produce an original, fabulous effect from the appearance of Santa Claus at the holiday.

Mittens for Santa Claus

Hands are exactly the element by which children recognize in Grandfather Frost their daddy, teacher or physical education teacher, therefore mittens should be a must carnival costume.

For sewing mittens, you need to choose a fabric, the same as for sewing a fur coat, hat or bag. If you are sewing mittens for a baby, then the pattern should be reduced.

It is necessary to transfer the pattern of the pattern to the fabric. Each mitten consists of three parts: one back and two inner (top and bottom). To cut a mitten for the second hand, transfer the pattern to the material in a mirror image.

Then you need to cut the material taking into account the seam allowance(one centimeter) and sew. First, the inner parts of the mitten, then connect them with the back. All seams are sewn from the wrong side and must be processed with a zigzag or overlock.

Mittens, like other parts of the costume, can be decorated with tinsel, snowflakes, beads, rhinestones or other New Year's decor.

How to make a beard

An important detail in Frost's suit - this is a beard, white, fluffy, magic... If you didn't manage to get a ready-made beard, you can make it yourself. You can from the following materials:

• from padding polyester;
• synthetic wool;
• artificial fur;
• white yarn;
• paper or fabric.

Let's look at an example of creating from an old, forgotten, white or beige woolen sweater for machine knitting.

It is necessary to take an old sweater, PVA glue, scissors, a small white flap.

First, on a white cotton cloth, make a sketch of the beard of the desired size and cut it along the contour with scissors. Don't forget to make a hole for the mouth and ties to keep the beard on your head.

Then you need to gently dissolve the sweater into separate threads, starting from the lower edge of the beard, thread by thread, you can use small bunches. It is necessary to glue the beard onto the fabric base with even rows of threads, filling the entire free area and creating a real beard for Santa Claus. Thanks to machine knitting, the threads will turn out to be strongly twisted, curly. According to this principle, you can make a beard from strips of white ribbon used by florists, pre-curl them with a scissor blade or from strips of plain white paper.

Faux fur beard is also quick to master and looks great. It can be made round or triangular. Attached, like a sweater beard, with elastic bands or ribbons.

A beard for a child and a man can be made from household materials at hand. Take a clothesline and cut it into equal lengths. Using a gun and hot glue, gradually, row by row, glue the pieces of rope onto the fabric base for the beard.

If you have leftover wool for felting, you can make a mustache and beard for a fairytale hero out of it. Prepare the base from the fabric, glue the strands of wool, starting from the bottom.

To make the image of the main character of the New Year complete, be sure to make your grandfather specific makeup using makeup or women's cosmetics... Paint Frosty's red nose and ruddy cheeks, move the eyebrows with white shadows so that they match the white beard.

If you know how to knit or crochet, then the outfit can not only be sewn, but also knitted.

Now you can easily make a costume and a unique image of your favorite New Year's character.

In order for the child to remember this holiday for a long time, sew a doll Santa Claus for him. Print all patterns on a printer and cut out the details.

Santa Claus on a Christmas tree with his own hands

It is also an interesting idea to make Santa Claus out of beads, you only need a fishing line and bugles of white and red colors. String the beads according to the pattern, and at the end make a loop from the remnants of the fishing line.

Santa Claus from balloons

Santa Claus made of wool

The felting technique allows you to create real masterpieces from ordinary wool. To felle Santa Claus, take flesh and white wool, felting needles, red felt for a fur coat, wire, beads and glue.

• From flesh-colored wool, felle the shape in the form of a cone, on which the ball is put. The cone is the body, so add a little roundness on one side, this is the solid belly of Santa Claus.
• Cut out a fur coat for Santa Claus from felt and sew it directly on the base.

• Sew a small cone-shaped hat from the remnants of the red fabric.
• From the white wool, felle the flagella so that they turn out fluffy on one side, put them on the sponge and use a needle to drive them into the sponge. Glue the finished flagella to the fur coat with glue along the hem and collar.
• From the remaining white wool we form a beard and mustache and roll them with a needle.
• Glue the eyes and nose
• From the wire, measure the required length for the pens, wrap the wire with red felt and glue the mittens on the ends. Stick the open end of the wire into your torso.

Making toys with your own hands is a very interesting activity, if you have not tried it so far, then now is the time to start. Don't be discouraged if something didn't work out the first time, you can always try again. Santa Claus will bring New Year's mood and the feeling of an approaching holiday to your home! We wish you new creative ideas and a Merry New Year!
