DIY fabric angel: photo, patterns. Angels from fabric Angels handmade from fabric

Winter holidays are distinguished by their special atmosphere of warmth and comfort. Many people believe that Christmas and New Year are exclusively family holidays and should be celebrated in a narrow circle. But this does not mean that you do not need to take care of gifts for friends, colleagues and distant relatives. Do-it-yourself dolls for the New Year are a great option for such gifts.

Textile dolls angels as a gift

These DIY toys can be made using completely different techniques. The most popular types of angels:

• Amulets.
• Dolls from nylon.
• Tilda.
• Simple textile dolls.

Christmas Doll Keeper

Do not dismiss the protective dolls. Even if you do not believe in the protective power of such a thing, this does not mean that the doll is completely useless. This is a folk form of creativity that has safely survived to this day, although it has undergone some changes.

Such an angel cannot be made as a simple souvenir, especially not for close people, but for distant friends and people who, by and large, are not close to you. The thing is that by creating a small amulet doll, you charge it with your energy, invest a sincere desire to protect and protect from evil. Therefore, such amulets are usually exchanged with children, parents, loved ones and loved ones.

A common feature of all protective dolls is that they do not have facial features. It is believed that someone unkind can move into the doll through the painted eyes. Decorating figures is also not accepted - excessive pretentiousness and brightness attract attention, which is completely unnecessary. Several master classes on how to make different guardian angels.

Angel made of threads

Such an amulet during winter holidays can be hung on the tree. For work you will need:

• Thick natural yarn in white, brown or beige.
• A piece of cotton wool.

Sequencing. Divide the bundle of yarn into three unequal parts. Most will be required for the body of the angel itself, arms and wings are made from the smaller ones.

First step. Fold the larger bundle in half, put a ball of cotton into the fold. This is the head. Carefully distribute the threads so that the cotton wool is not visible, with a separate thread tie the bundle under the ball.

Step two. Under the thread of the "neck" divide the yarn into the front and back. Fold the front part over your head, put a smaller bundle of threads in the middle perpendicularly. Put the thrown back yarn back in place.

Step three. Make several constrictions with threads, forming the arms and waist of the angel. Separately tie the third bundle of threads - first pull along the edges, then in the center. Pull the threads in such a way that you get two rounded triangles with a waist.

Fourth step. Tie the wings to the back of the figurine, tying the chest crosswise in front. Weave a hoop braid from three separate threads and tie the doll on the head. The amulet is ready!

Charm from a handkerchief

The simplest options, which even a child can master, do not require any sewing skills or any other skills. You will need a square of white fabric, a ball of cotton wool, red and white threads.

Sequencing. Put a round piece of cotton wool in the center of the square of fabric (any filler will do) and twist the fabric around it tightly. You will get a ball, and under it is a triangle of double fabric. Tighten with white thread and fix the fabric in this position.

Next, you need to spread the fabric in both directions. The resulting two sharp tips are the wings. Now you need to rewind the chest and back of the figure crosswise so that the wings and shirt are fixed. The angel is ready!

Motanka doll Angel

A do-it-yourself twist doll, made in accordance with all the rules, will be a real talisman that will protect you from the evil eye and unkind wishes. Neither scissors nor needles can be used to make the coil. All material must be natural - linen, cotton, calico, etc. It is suggested to tear the fabric by hand. For work you will need:

• White cloth.
• Canvas.
• The threads are white.
• A piece of cotton wool.
• The coat is yellow.
• Belt tape.
• Bell or bell.

First step. Roll a piece of fabric into an even roller. Fold it in half and wrap the upper part with thread, departing 2-3 cm from the edge of the fold. This is a blank for the head. Wrap the two lower ends with thread too, stepping back from the ends by a centimeter. These are the legs. Make another roll of fabric and wrap it entirely with thread - these will be the handles of the angel.

Step two. With the help of a piece of cotton wool, form a head - wind it on a previously determined place. Cover with a small square of cloth, twist it at the base of the head. Secure with thread. Put a roller handle under the ends of the fabric and continue winding with the same thread as the head.

Step three. Fold a piece of canvas with an accordion and pull in the middle with a thread. Straighten the folds are the wings. Tie them to the back of the amulet.

Fourth step. With a strip of colored fabric, wrap the chest of the figure in a criss-cross manner so that it is closed in front, and goes along the shoulders to the wings. Form a skirt from another piece of fabric, wrap around the waist. Gird the doll with a ribbon, hiding the threads and seams of the fabric.

Fifth step. Make a head of hair for an angel from yellow wool, fasten it on the head with a hoop thread. The handles can be brought down in front by attaching a bell or bell to them. The motanka is ready.

Miracle from nylon

Handmade nylon dolls look amazing - cute, touching and very original figures will leave few people indifferent. The most difficult part of the whole process is to correctly form the face of the toy. A small master class will help you master this tricky science ... For work you will need:

First step. For the head, you need to form a ball of synthetic winterizer and wrap it in nylon. Roll a smaller ball for the nose and attach to the head. After that, slightly pull the nylon and tie it in a knot at the bottom, making a kind of neck.

Step two. Face tightening. With a needle and thread in small paired stitches: from top to bottom, from bottom to top. From the top to the right diagonally and vice versa, and also to the left, forming the nostrils. The mouth with a chin, cheeks and eye sockets are formed according to the same principle.

Step three. Light make-up - brown the cheeks and lips, tint the eye sockets with brown shadows and glue the eyes. Hair can be made from artificial hair, or you can glue the entire head with small white feathers. Alternatively, use wool for felting the desired shade by simply gluing it in the middle.

Fourth step. The body of the pupa should be in proportion to the head. Cut a piece of tights of the appropriate length and fill with padding polyester. Tie knots at the top and bottom. Sew the body with the head.

Fifth step. Feet and palms. The scheme of work is still the same. A lump of padding polyester is inserted into the nylon, with a needle and thread tightens are made according to the number of fingers. The tightening is best tinted with brown shades, emphasizing the relief of the fingers.

Cut two pieces of 10 cm from the rope, make a knot in the middle of each segment. These are the legs. Sew the ropes to the body on one side, and glue the feet on the other.

Sixth step. We dress the angel. To do this, make a hoodie dress from a piece of lace. Separately make two sleeves, at the ends of which stick your palms. Sew the sleeves to the body. Put a felt heart into your palms.

Seventh step. Roll two rounded triangles from a flexible wire. Wrap the wire frame with white tape, fix each loop with glue. The tape should connect opposite sides of the wire. Paste the resulting base with feathers. The angel is ready!

Cloth quilts

To make a beautiful angel doll with your own hands, patterns will be required not too complicated. You can draw them yourself. For work you will need:

• Material in 3 different colors. For the body - beige, for the cap and hoodie - blue, for the wings - light.
• Lace ribbon for decoration.
• Cardboard and pencil.
• Sewing accessories and a machine.
• Filler.
• Fabric paints and brushes.
• Yarn or artificial hair.

First step. Pattern. The easiest option to perform, especially for those who do not really like or know how to sew, is a single pattern for the entire calf. Exaggerated head, arms and legs. Too small details and abrupt transitions should be avoided. The wings and the triangle-cap are drawn separately. It should fit the size of the doll's head and be of such length that its tip rests on the angel's shoulder. The wings form a single unit with outlined rounded feather edges.

Step two. Transfer the pattern to the fabric folded in half. Pin off, cut out, leaving 1 cm seam allowances. Sew along the drawn line, leaving 10 cm open so that the material can be turned out.

Step three. Turn inside out, fill with filler ... Sew up the left segment.

Fourth step. Use thin brushes to paint the doll's face. Sew on or hot glue the hair, leaving the back of the head free, there will be a cap.

Fifth step. While the paint dries, sew clothes together. For the hoodie, you need a rectangle of fabric that can be wrapped around the doll's body. Sew it into the tube, leaving the slots for the handles, put it on the workpiece. Gather the fabric at the neck and fix it.

Sixth step. Wings. Fold the fabric for them with the right sides to each other, transfer the pattern to the other side. Seam without leaving slits. Cut with 1 cm allowances. Notch them so that there are no creases when turning. Carefully cut one layer of fabric in the middle and turn outward through this incision. Fill with filler and sew the slot.

Seventh step. Sew the wings to the hoodie on the back of the angel. It is not necessary to fill the triangular cap, it must be sewn to the head of the figure with a loop seam. The doll is ready!

Magical transformations

Often there is a perfectly suitable doll at hand., which, before turning into an angel, lacks just a few details, for example, wings and a hoodie, a halo. The halo is made elementarily from a piece of wire, which is twisted into a ring at the base. You can decorate such a halo with tinsel, feathers, or wrap it with thick yellow thread. Changing the dress is also quite simple - the hoodie is made from fabric sewn into a tube. But how to make angel wings for a doll if there are no feathers at hand? Pretty simple. This will require:

• Flexible, but stable wire (like a floral).
• Fine nylon mesh (or just nylon of the desired color).
• Lining fabric, preferably with lurex.
• Needle and thread to match the fabric.
• Glue gun.
• Scissors.

The first stage of work. Twist the frame of the wings from one piece of wire. The size and shape are arbitrary, but are usually two triangles with rounded, soft corners. Dimensions depend on the size of the doll itself, which needs to be turned into an angel.

Second phase. The frame needs to be sealed, this is done using a nylon stack. It must be tightly pulled onto the base, but not deform the wire. Secure with thread.

Stage three. Cut the lining fabric into strips. The stripe width is the length of the future feathers. The length of the strip should correspond to the section of the wing to which it will be glued. Cut each strip of fabric with a fringe, rounding the edges of the cut pieces. You will get a ribbon with feathers.

Fourth stage. Sew on the fringe or glue it in layers so that the uncut strip of the fringe base is hidden under the previous layer of feathers.

This detail can easily turn almost any tilde doll into an angel!

Attention, only TODAY!

The most magical holiday!

And if Christmas has spirits - of the past, present and future, then for the New Year such Angels were invented - the Angel of New Year's Eve, Angel of New Year's Dawn, Angel of the new day.

We will create a red and gold Angel, and for inspiration we will take a New Year's notebook-photo album

For work you need materials:

1. Cloth for the doll's body and head.

2. Fabric for handles and legs.

3. Contrast fabric for the dress.

4. Sequins, New Year's braid, bell for dress decoration.

5. White felt and gold-colored wrapping material for the wings.

6. Threads for hair.

7. Ribbons, ribbons for hair decor.

8. White cotton and a red candy ribbon.

9. Kraft paper and various scrapbooks for a gift, a quarter of a sponge for washing dishes.

10. White, red, beige threads: reinforced thread for sewing on legs and head, beautiful threads for sewing on sequins.

11. Pastel, acrylic paints.

12. Stuffing (I usually have a synthetic winterizer torn into small pieces).

Tools:

1. A sewing machine (you can do without it - you can sew everything on your hands).

2. Scissors.

3. Needles and needles.

4. A simple pencil.

5. Sushi stick.

6. Glue gun.

7. Brushes and brushes.

8. Ruler.

An angel's pattern, he is still sleeping on it, we will soon wake up and open his eyes :)

We cut out a pattern, fold the fabric for the body and head with the right side inward, pin the pattern and sew on a typewriter, leaving a hole for turning and stuffing.

We also sew the arms and legs, we repeat this procedure 2 times)

IMPORTANT! The pattern should be positioned in one direction relative to the threads of the fabric in order to avoid distortions when stuffing, it is better to stitch in a minimum step, trying to round off all possible corners.

We cut out, along the perimeter we make notches every 5-7 mm, not reaching the seam just a little bit, we always make the notches perpendicular to the seam - the parts turn out easier this way and do not tighten the edges when stuffing. Who is the lucky owner of zigzag scissors - feel free to cut them out :)

We turn out the parts with a sushi stick, straightening all the seams from the inside with a stick, bend the edges of the filling hole inward in the shape of the pattern. We iron everything carefully.

We start packing. I usually stuff with a split padding polyester - it gives a dense and even stuffing. A very dense packing should be in the legs (stand on them) and in the neck (hold the head with it).

IMPORTANT!When stuffing the handles and legs, we put them to each other, checking that they are the same, fill in small portions, in the handles we first stuff the fingers with a very tiny piece, and then the whole handle.

We sew the holes with a blind seam, since the edges have been nested and ironed - the seam will turn out easily and evenly.

The next step is to create a face. Let's wake up the kid :)

For work you will need: a thread and a needle, a simple pencil, dry pastel, acrylic paints, brushes, a container of water. I apologize for the appearance of a simple pencil - it is terribly bitten ... But they are all so terribly bitten in my head - so creative thoughts swarm in my head that I already eat pencils :)

If there is no pastel, a set of shadows of the desired colors will do, the main thing is that they are matte. Instead of acrylic paints, you can use nail polish - I think every young lady has plenty of them these days - and in different colors and with different brushes :) Or we use gouache - only after drying we cover it with transparent varnish.

IMPORTANT! The eyes are located in the center of the face or slightly below. The distance between the eyes should be no less than the size of the eye, the corners of the lips should not go beyond the pupils of the eyes.

We start with toning: we mix 2-3 colors of pastel crayons on a piece of paper, and mix with a soft makeup brush directly on the piece of paper, shake off the excess, and lightly tint the face around the circumference, cheeks and the middle of the forehead.

Now, with the help of threads, fastening them to the back of the head, we divide the angel's face into 4 parts: in the middle vertically and horizontally.

Divide the distance (from seam to seam) into 5 parts along the horizontal thread, 2 parts on the sides, 2 parts for the eyes, 1 part for the distance between the eyes.

Along a vertical thread from the center down, divide the distance into 3 parts and put a point - the location of the lower edge of the nose. Divide the remaining distance down again by 3 and put a point - the place of the middle of the lips.

We remove the threads and with a simple pencil draw the tonsils of the eyes, nose and lips. Draw the eyes immediately, taking into account the movable upper eyelid.

We draw the line of the upper eyelid, iris and pupils, outline the eyebrows. Let's make them touching, touching :)

IMPORTANT!To control the symmetry of facial features, we simply turn our head from time to time, or look at it in the mirror. The iris of the eyes NEVER! do not draw in full circle - it is always covered by the upper eyelid - to a greater or lesser extent.

We continue toning with a thinner brush: we tint the eyes, eyebrows, the corners of the eyes, the nose and slightly the bridge of the nose, highlight the corners of the lips and emphasize the chin notch under the lower lip. With a wide brush, shade the tinting with light movements for smooth transitions. We set off the lips, the edges of the ears and the auricle with a brighter color.

We take on paints :)

We paint over the whites of the eyes with white paint, without affecting the iris, put a slight highlight on the nose. Slightly highlight the movable upper eyelid. Then paint over the iris with the selected color. We take some white paint and slightly inject it into the lower edge of the iris, muffling it towards the upper borders.

For the outlines, mix black and brown paint, draw the pupil and outline the iris.

We draw eyes with the same double color, draw the eyebrows not with a solid line, but with strokes. We outline the upper eyelid. Draw the corners of the lips with two commas, put the points of the nostrils, slightly outline the bend and lines of the lips, without drawing these lines to the very corners.

We draw eyelashes. For eyelashes, a thin brush purchased from a nail art store is great. With the same double color we draw the angel's seal over the upper lip))) We put glare on the eyes with white paint, pink on the lips.

With pink pastels we blush the angel's cheeks, we do it closer to the eyes. Who's not sorry - we use real blush :) I'm not sorry, but I just don't have them - I live in Siberia, from frost and so ruddy :) You can add a pink tint to the forehead, ears, nose and chin - just a little.

IMPORTANT! Eyelashes should not be drawn in straight lines, but slightly curved, at the outer edge to the temples, at the inner edge to the middle of the forehead. The glare in the eyes should be the same.

Dotted with a thin brush, paint freckles with brown paint.

If necessary or really want to - once again work out the tinting :)

Now we tint the body of the angel - on the sides of the neck and approximately along the neckline of the dress.

Sew on the legs - we use a button fastening, reinforced threads, or a thread in several folds, we hide the knots behind one of the legs.

Here's what you should get.

Let's start creating a dress. For it we need a piece of fabric measuring 50 cm by 13 cm. The bottom long edge of the "mohrim" dress, pulling out the threads along the entire length. Sew the cut into a ring along the short edge.

Now we bend the upper edge by 3-5 mm and sew from the connecting seam in this way: at the beginning of the seam we do a bartack, sew with the maximum step, finish before reaching the beginning of the seam and do not bartack, leave the threads at the end of the seam long, and cut off at the beginning. Now we take on one thread and begin to pull the dress on it, creating folds. Pull gently, distributing the fabric evenly until the dress fits the angel.

Trying on a blank dress and starting to decorate it. By this time the space had warmed up, and suddenly there were wonderful metallic threads of red color. With them I sewed a snowflake and sequins. We fix the dress at the required level and begin to sew directly to the body in a circle with threads to match the fabric. Trying on a beautiful New Year's braid.

We sew on a bell, carefully glue the braid with a glue gun, grabbing the edge of the dress, fix the ends on the back. We sew the handles through and through, as with a button fastening, only we sew sequins instead of buttons.

What is the most important thing for an angel? Wings! Making them gold :)

Cut out a blank for the wings from felt. We cut the material for the wings into strips of 2 cm by 6 cm, sharpen it from one edge. We glue the feathers to the base with a glue gun, row by row, forming wings. We do not glue the central part on the back side - this is the place for gluing the wings to the doll.

Cut off the top edge along the felt line and the wings for the angel are ready.

Sew the head with a simple overlay on the neck. First, we outline the location of the head, and then we sew, grabbing the neck only at the top.

We use white threads for the hair, lay them out on a sheet of office paper, such a hair length and tress length will be enough for an angel. Sew the hair in the center with two lines with a distance of 5 mm between them. Duplicate each line for strength of the weft. Cut between the lines, tear off the paper and voila - the tresses are ready.

We outline the hair growth line with a pencil: above the forehead, behind the ears, and on the back of the head, overlapping with a line the place where the head is attached to the neck. And we sew the weft along this line, leaving the bald crown. We start from the back of the head. Sew the second weft just above the marked line - we get 2 rows of wefts.

Christmas is just around the corner, which means it's time to sew cute textile angels!

Angel Mochi Pattern by Nkale

The pattern must be saved to a computer and printed on a printer, A4 format. You can also simply open the pattern image on the monitor, select any size of the image using the ctrl + or ctrl- keys, attach the album sheet directly to the monitor and trace the outline around the translucent pattern with a pencil.

We sew the body of the textile angel Moti

1. Cut out the details of the angel's pattern and lay it out on a beige fabric for the body (observing the direction of the shared thread), circle it with a finely honed pencil or a light ballpoint pen: leave allowances of 7-10 mm between the pattern details, do not cut it out and immediately sew it on a typewriter with the smallest line.

2. Next, we turn out the parts (in the legs-handles we make cuts in the upper part with the sharp tips of scissors for turning and stuffing), fill it tightly with synthetic fluff.

3. Sew up the holes in the body, handles, legs with threads to match the fabric

4. We sew the fingers on the angel's legs by hand

5. On the palms, we also sew fingers. First, we divide the palm in half with the seam, then each resulting half - we divide it in half again, we get fingers

6. All our body parts are ready for assembly:

7. It remains to sew on the legs using buttons. Do not sew the handles yet

We sew a dress for an angel

8. Take a rectangle of fabric for the dress, about 28x40 cm; we form a dress: there are some peculiarities - be sure to lay darts and cut off excess fabric - so that there are fewer gathers on the neck

9. Sleeves are also sewn from a rectangle of fabric measuring 12 × 12 cm; we sew at first (as in the picture) so that the sleeve tapers from bottom to top - to the shoulder; then we cover the sleeves tightly - look at the rounding at the top of the sleeves in the photo

10. Now you need to draw the eyes and mouth: immediately outline their location (with a sharpened brown watercolor pencil - if you don’t like it, you can erase it with an ordinary soft white eraser), then tint with acrylic paints with a thin brush.
Draw the eyes and eyelashes brown (or light brown), but not black, otherwise it will be too colorful.

Mouth - draw in a soft pink color.

11. Now you can collect further the toy along with the dress. First of all, we sew hands: we put our hands in the sleeves, and we sew the sleeves one by one together with the hands (in front of the body, not on the sides!) - on the pattern, the sewing places are specially marked with crosses.

We make wings

12. Fold the canvas in half, circle the pattern with a pencil or a light ballpoint pen (not a gel one!)

13. Sew along the contour with a small line of thread to match the canvas

14. Cut out the wings, retreating from the seam 4-5 mm, lay a finishing line along the seam - a stroke (with the usual basting seam) with a contrasting thread - to match the dress; we also sew the suspension in the middle

15. The free edge (up to the decorative stitching) needs to be "tousled" with your hands or you can just use a needle

How to create the hairstyle for the angel Mote

15. Sew on the doll's hair from yarn with ordinary thread - parting (it is better not to save on yarn, let the hairstyle be magnificent!)

16. "Halo" sew on the back of the head, under the hair

17. To distribute the hairstyle evenly - we sew on the hairstyle a ribbon - "hiratnik"

18.Using a button and thread, sew on the wings

Final works

19. Blush the cheeks on both sides with real blush or dry rubbed pastel

But you don't know - what? DIY from angel fabric. This toy can be used as a decoration for a Christmas tree, window, shelf and even ceiling. And the most beautiful crafts are a great gift for friends as a souvenir.

Felt angel

Even a child can make such a toy. Today we will make a fabric angel with our own hands. The photo of the craft conveys all its charm and personality. We need felt, threads and two beads.

First of all, we need to make the blanks. The body will look like a triangle with rounded edges. We cut out two parts and sew them together. If you fill the parts of the angel, then it will turn out to be voluminous, if this is not necessary, then we leave the toy without filling. The torso is ready. Cut out two flesh-colored circles - this will be the head. Sew the details and attach them to the body. Next, we make a hairstyle. Our sample shows a girl angel with two ponytails, but you can make a boy too. Do not limit the flight of your imagination. Cut out two white wings and sew them to the back. Made of fabric is ready, it remains to detail it. Cut out the heart and sew it to the chest. From two strings, to the ends of which we will tie beads, we make legs. It remains to embroider the angel's eyes and mouth. If you wish, you can make a nose and rouge the cheeks with a pencil.

Cloth angel

Such toys can be used as pendants in a car or as a key fob. How to make an angel out of fabric with your own hands? Above is a pattern that is suggested to be printed or copied. First we cut out paper parts, and then we make blanks from fabric.

Let's start sewing the angel from the torso. We combine the two parts of the skirt with each other, sew, turn out and do not stuff. Now we make a heart. We sew it and stuff it, it will be the center of our toy. It's time to make the head. Sew two flesh-colored circles and fill in the blank. You can immediately draw a cute face for the angel, for example, using two beads for the eyes and drawing cheeks with a red pencil. Hair can be made from either woolen threads or satin ribbons. We sew together the blanks of the head and heart. Cut out the wings. To keep them in shape, you need to insert a piece of cardboard between two pieces of fabric. And you can make wings from felt or any other dense fabric. We sew our blanks to the back of the angel. The only thing left to do is to make pens. We sew circles and after we fill them, it will be necessary to sew fingers on them. We attach the hands and decorate the angel with bows and pendants.

Semicircle angel

We will make the toy pendant from felt. To make an angel out of fabric with our own hands, we will start by preparing a semicircle pattern. Let's circle it on felt and cut it out. Put the semicircle horizontally, with a cut away from you. Now we pull up its two ends to the center and move them back a little. In this position, we fix the fabric with threads. We cut out the head. It will represent two circles sewn together. Let's make an angel bangs out of fabric, you can come up with any other hairstyle. It was the turn of the wings. We will make them from white fabric. Cut out something like the wings of a butterfly or a dog bone. We sew the blank to the back of the angel. It remains to detail the toy. Beads will be eyes, we draw cheeks and attach a large bead to the dress.

Simple angel

A three-year-old child can be involved in the process of making such a toy. If mom buys a blank in the form of a felt circle with a carved edge, then making it out of fabric will not be difficult.

We take our workpiece and divide it into three parts. We cut it. One of the parts will become the body, and from the other two we will make wings. Now cut out the circle from the flesh-colored fabric. This is the head. The angel can be left in such a primitive form or decorated. For example, make him eyes, draw a pattern on his body and wings. If you wish, you can make a curly hairstyle from woolen threads. Several of these angels will make a beautiful garland that you can use to decorate your Christmas tree. The child will be especially pleased that he takes part in such a magical event.

Angel sachet

To make such a toy, you need burlap and fragrant herbs. You can buy a ready-made collection or prepare it yourself in the summer. We will make an angel doll from fabric according to a pattern. We print the picture suggested above, or draw the outline ourselves. We cut out two blanks from the burlap, stuff them with grass and then manually (or on a typewriter) sew the toy with an indent of half a centimeter from the edge. On the wings, you can make the line wavy. To do this, cut out the blank and draw the outline of the future product with soap. You can sew with contrasting threads or pick them to match. It remains to decorate our angel. We sew a small star or heart on the doll's chest, and attach a ribbon to the head so that the sachet can be hung. At the request of the angel, you can build a hairstyle.

Angel with beads

We will make this toy from two different materials: felt and regular cotton fabric. We also need a silver thread and beads. We print out the pattern. We will make an angel from fabric with our own hands in stages. First, we cut out all the details from the material. We sew the blanks together and stuff them. Sew wings to the back. As a decor, you can make decorative stitching with contrasting threads on them. Now you need to sew arms and legs to the body. We will make them in the same way. We make a knot at the end of the thread. We string the bead and sew the free edge to the body. We repeat this operation three times. Remember that the legs should be slightly longer than the arms. Now you need to decorate the craft. On the hem of the angel, you can write a wish or any name. You can also embroider a face and make a haircut on the toy.

Burlap Angel

This craft resembles a toy of our grandmothers. Making a New Year's angel with your own hands from fabric is quite simple. We need to cut a conical blank out of cardboard and cover it with fabric. The burlap can simply be glued to one side of the cardboard. We fold the workpiece into a cone and fasten it with a hot gun or a stapler. Now you need to make the head. Cut out the circle, sew it with a seam forward, fill and tighten the resulting bag. Sew up the hole from the bottom and place the head on the body. We will make our hairstyle from threads similar in color to burlap. We cut small strings and sew them in the center of the head so that the seam forms a parting. With a white rope, immediately make a halo-pendant. We build a loop on the rope and put the angel on the head. Sew on a halo at ¾ of the head. We decorate the joint between the head and body with a piece of lace. From the rope with which the hair was made, we construct a bow on the chest. It remains to make the wings. We will make them from a rectangle of burlap. We sew a piece of fabric along the edge with lace. Now we need to gather our workpiece exactly in the center and sew it to the back of the angel.

We collect an angel from cardboard and fabric

Such a toy can be hung on a Christmas tree, or you can decorate a fireplace, bedside table and even a mirror with it. How to make an angel out of fabric with your own hands? For this we need thick cardboard and embossed fabric. You can take a gold or silver piece of fabric. Let's start making an angel.

We print or copy the pattern and transfer it to cardboard and fabric. We cut out the blanks. With a glue gun we attach the fabric to the cardboard. Duplicate the cuts in the right places. They should converge on fabric and cardboard. Now we roll up the angel, as shown in the picture.

The way this toy is made can be slightly upgraded. For example, make it double-sided. To do this, it is necessary to glue the fabric not on one side of the cardboard blank, but on two. You can also make wings and a body from different materials. For example, to stick feathers on the wings of an angel. They can be purchased at any craft store and are sold in rolls.

The simplest dIY fabric angel created from a handkerchief or a piece of burlap, and is called a primitive. More complex figures are made using the technology of soft toys from full-fledged patterns. Knowing the principles of sewing souvenir angels, you can fantasize with patterns, decorate products with beads, decorative thread and rhinestones.

Methods for making textile angels

A primitive angel is made on its own in a couple of minutes with a piece of fabric and filler material. Soft toys require more time, more painstaking work and special skills.

Primitive angels

The budgetary version of the festive angel figurine is primitives. They got their name for the following reasons:

• waste of cutting fabrics are used
• simple manufacturing methods are used
• the shape of the dolls turns out to be primitive, only the general appearance of the recognizable character is outlined

• blank - a square piece of 20 x 20 cm textiles (poplin, organza, tulle, linen, burlap, matting) for the torso, 15 x 15 cm for the wings and knitting thread (best with lurex, acrylic)

• edge decoration - 1 - 2 cm around the perimeter must be "swept" by stretching the longitudinal wefts of the textile

• head - cotton wool or synthetic winterizer rolled into a ball is placed in the center of the square (you can wrap it with a thread), textiles are folded diagonally

• neck - it is formed with a thread below the head, while the "face" needs to be straightened, folds can be made on the sides for a clearer outline of the contours of the face

• hands - the edge is bent inward by 2 - 3 cm, folded in an envelope, tied with a thread, as in the lower figure, the second brush is formed in the same way

• wings - a small square folds diagonally, then into an "accordion", which is attached with a thread to the angel's back with a long part of the accordion, as in the photo

The last operation is the most difficult; when attaching the wings to the body of the toy, it is necessary to assemble it into a bundle. Three turns obliquely enough for normal fixation, the thread passes through the left shoulder under the right hand, then over the right shoulder and below the left hand.

Attention: A cross is obtained on the chest, a knot is tied on the back of the doll in the form of a loop for hanging an angel.

For the category of craftsmen who prefer sewing to the knitting technique, angels made of matting or burlap with soft filling are more suitable. In this primitive, the "recognizability" of the character's appearance is achieved due to the shape of the blanks:

• pear-shaped body
• round head
• graceful small wings

This option can be attributed to soft pillows, toys, pendants and primitives at the same time. If necessary, angels are hung on a Christmas tree, in a car salon, on windows and in any other convenient place.

Stuffed Toys

Depending on your drawing skills, patterns for soft toys in the shape of cute angels can be made in several ways. The main task of the master is how to make the figures recognizable, it is solved by the following methods:

• required attributes - the figurine may be completely shapeless, but if it has wings, a star and a halo, it will be possible to recognize an angel in it
• motion simulation - giving the doll's body the shape of an arc and sharpening the edges of the workpiece, you can ensure the swiftness and airiness of the craft, causing associations with an angel on a subconscious level
• similarity of outlines - legs, torso, wings and arms are created from individual patterns, the figure is supplemented with a star or halo, special symbols embroidered on the torso

Angels have miniature sizes by default for easy placement on key chains, inside car salons, on branches of New Year trees. Therefore, simple outlines of patterns are preferable for small stitches of a thread seam.

Pendants

The easiest way is to sew dolls with "humanized" contours, in which it is easy to identify the angel by the wings on the back.

Master Class for making a primitive pendant looks like this:

• cut - 2 parts "head", 2 parts "torso-dress", 2 parts "wings"
• suspension - a fabric loop is sewn to one piece "head" from the inside
• sewing - each piece "head" is sewn to the element "torso" with a transverse purl seam, then the halves are stitched to each other and turned outward, a hole should be left in the lower part of the doll to fill the figure

• padding - made with padding polyester, foam rubber or cotton wool, the hole is sewn up with 1 - 2 stitches

12. Padding

• hair - can be made from threads, cotton wool, other materials suitable for the texture, by gluing them in the form of a hairstyle

13. Hair, face and wings

• face - colored with a marker, paint or pencils
• wings - toys are attached to the back
• bow - pinned or sewn with a thread, decorated with rhinestones, a bead on the belly of the figure

Using this technique, in a day, you can build up to two dozen toys for the Christmas tree with your own hands from the remaining textile scraps and scraps.

Flying

Soaring Christmas angels made of light flannel become an alternative to the previous "fat girls". Their recognizable shape has become popular thanks to the author Silvia Sartorio:

• the torso is bent in an arc at the lower back
• arms spread apart at approximately 45 degrees
• the doll does not have a neck, but has a stylish hairdo and beady eyes
• wings of equal length with hands are decorated with embroidery or rhinestones

• cut and procurement of parts - separately sewn the body with the head, legs, arms and wings
• assembly - all elements are stuffed with soft material, sewn to each other, as in the bottom photo

15. Patterns

Following the indicated principles of making soft toys, you can modify the shape and size of patterns, apply additional elements, and experiment with materials.

From a simple pattern

Do-it-yourself smart Christmas angels are made from bright fabric using a very simple pattern:

• torso - conical cap, the reamer of which can be made without special education
• plug - installed in the lower part of the cap, so that the stuffing material does not fall out of it, the figure has greater stability
• wings - sewn from 2 pieces of the same size in the shape of a heart

16. Step by step manufacturing

To assemble a funny figure with your own hands from fabric, you need to follow the steps:

• the tip of the textile cone is wrapped with a seam outward, clings to the doll's body with a stitch of thread, these will be the lowered hands of an angel, into which you can "put" (sew from below) a bell, a horseshoe, a bead, any other decorative trifle, as in the bottom photo
• in the place of the bend, the doll is sewn with a “head” made of a large bead or a detail sewn from textile

The templates for this doll are given below, there are no problems with patterns and sewing, even with minimal skills in working with a needle. A master class on making an original primitive angel is given in detail in the video:

Thus, there are a lot of options for making a textile angel for Christmas, SV Day, New Year and other holidays. That allows you to choose the best option, taking into account specific conditions.

Thank you for attention! Happy New Year, everyone!
