Children's favorite winter holiday is not only the New Year, but also its neighbors, Christmas, St. Nicholas and Kutya. All these holidays are very significant main and church holidays, so they are accompanied and protected by guardian angels. Children associate these holidays, of course, with gifts, since on St. Nicholas most children receive present under the pillow, on Kutya and Christmas, children bring Holy Kutya to neighbors and relatives, and in return they are treated to various sweets and small gifts. Each child is guarded and accompanied by his own angel, just like any person, but children’s dreams are real, and for them an angel is truly a powerful patron. So, for one of the above-mentioned holidays, it will be relevant to give an angel. Moreover, this little angel will be special, since it will be sewn by hand, and therefore will be a very good children's amulet. This is how every mother can sew an interesting soft angel from felt for her child. Right now we will consider a master class on sewing an angel from felt.
We will need to take:
• Soft felt in white, blue, beige and light pink;
• Pattern of an angel on paper;
• Threads are black, pink and white;
• Needle;
• Holofiber filler;
• Bell;
• Acrylic white snowflakes;
• Purple satin ribbon 3 mm wide;
• White sequins with hologram on ribbons;
• Scissors;
• Lighter;
• Cotton lace;
• Half beads and rhinestones.
Let's start by cutting out the individual elements of the angel from the paper pattern. On each element the number indicates the number of parts we will need.
Now we apply each paper piece to a certain color of felt and trace it. So, we cut out two parts of the wings from blue felt, cut out two different parts of the head from light pink felt, cut out two parts of the body and four parts of the sleeves from white felt, and four arms and legs and one part of the face from beige felt.
Here are all the details prepared, let's estimate the layout of the angel.
We take the body parts, sew them together and stuff them with holofiber. We sew the legs in pairs, fill them just a little and sew them at the bottom of the body.
Now we sew the wings and fill them.
Fold the sleeves and sew them together. Now we fold the handles in pairs and sew them without filler. What remains is the face. We place a beige one on the pink blank, and another pink one on top. Sew in a circle.
Now we sew lace on the bottom of the body, and sew sequins on a ribbon onto the lace.
We sew sequins along the contour and wings.
Now we sew the sleeves, and the arms with circles of sequins to them too.
We sew sequins on the head in a circle. All the parts are ready, you can proceed to the final stage, assembly. We tie a bow with a bell from a ribbon. We also cut off a piece of ribbon for the loop.
We assemble the angel like this, piece by piece, gluing it with a glue gun. Everything turned out to be such an interesting children's guardian angel. Thank you for your attention!
