DIY Christmas toys. Master class with step by step photos
DIY Christmas gnomes
So the New Year has passed, but there are a lot of holidays on the threshold of the guys. Today we will try to make such a small gnome that you can give to friends and relatives. Especially appreciated are those gifts that are made by hand, handmade items created in a single copy. And so we get to work.
He has a red hat on
Shines at night, shines during the day.
All so funny -
Small and nice!
Gnome is a symbol of kindness!
Let the old year go
All sorrows will be taken away.
Purpose: This presented master class can be used in labor lessons, i.e. in educational activities from the age of 6, etc. This master class will also be interesting for adults (mothers, grandmothers). I developed this pattern 20 years ago, when there was no literature. I just made it according to the picture of the fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Especially we sew such a gnome for the New Year. This gnome can be used as a souvenir, heroes of fairy tales for a table theater and much more that you come up with yourself, you can also use it as a Christmas tree decoration.
Target:
- Make patterns and tailor our dwarfs according to them;
- Be able to work with fabric, connect the details of products.
Tasks:
- Be able to cut according to the pattern;
- Develop fine motor skills of hands, attention, aesthetic taste;
- Raise interest in this work;
- Get a sense of satisfaction from the work done.
For this we need:
Necessary materials and tools: different pieces of fabric of different colors, short-haired black fur; black beads for the eyes; narrow band for neck garter; multi-colored threads for sewing; scissors; patterns (stencils);
Cotton wool or synthetic winterizer; pencil.
Operating procedure:
3.
From the beige cotton fabric, according to the pattern, we cut out two parts of the head and two parts of the palms with allowances of 0.5 cm. On the head, mark the undercuts on the wrong side on both parts.
4.
Sew the undercuts with a sewing seam from the wide end to the narrow end. Fold the head pieces right sides in and sew around with a hand sewing machine, leave a slot for stuffing. Turn it right side out, stuff with cotton. Tuck a hole at the head and sew with blind stitches.
5.
Fold the details of the palms for the hands in pairs and sew with a machine seam. Leaving a slit at the top. On the thumb of the gnome's hand, make cuts, not reaching the seam of 0.1 cm. Turn it out and stuff it with cotton, leaving it not stuffed at the top. The palms are ready.
6.
Now open 2 parts of the red fabric gnome cap, leaving allowances of 0.5 - 0.7 cm.
7.
Fold the pieces right sides in and machine stitch around and leave a slit at the bottom of the cap into the base. We cut the corners of the cap over an angle of 45 degrees. In a concave place we make notches. Turn it out on the face, stuff with cotton. Make a tassel from red yarn and sew to the cap.
8.
Open the torso of the gnome from a dense fabric can be multi-colored. The back panel is 2 parts, the front panel is 1 part, and the arms are 4 parts. When cutting out, do not forget to make allowances of 0.5 cm 0.7 cm.
9.
We fold the parts with the front sides in pairs and sew around, leaving a seam allowance. Leave a slit at the bottom. We make notches in the concave places of the parts, not reaching 0.1 cm to the seam. Turn right side out and stuff with cotton.
10.
Fold the back panel right sides inward and do not sew to the end along the middle seam, leaving room for the legs. On the front panel, first stitch the undercut at the neckline, then fold the back and front panel right sides inward and sew the side and instep seams 0.5 cm from the edge. Turn the torso over to the face and stuff with cotton.
11.
Open the pants according to the pattern from pieces of denim.
12.
Sew as you sewed the body. Turn it inside out and put it on the body. Tuck the panties in at the waist by 0.5 cm and hem with a hidden seam.
13.
Open the vest 1 piece from the drape, the shoe: the sole 2 pieces, the top of the shoe 2 pieces without seam allowances.
14.
At the top of the shoes, sew the back seam on the front side with a buttonhole stitch with threads in the color of the fabric. Sew the sole on the front side to the top of the shoes, also with a buttonhole stitch.
15.
Connect the vest on the front side with a shoulder seam with a buttonhole stitch with threads in the color of the fabric. Cut corners along the edge of the vest with scissors.
16.
Sew a red cap to your head. Sew fur on the bottom of the cap. Sew the palms to the bottom of the brush. Take 2 pieces of black beads for the eyes and sew them in place of the eyes. Color lips and cheeks with lipstick and iron through paper. Put on pants on the body, sew shoes with oblique stitches to the bottom of the pants. Sew the hands in place of the hands with a blind stitch. The head in place of the head is also a hidden seam. Put the vest on the gnome. Tie a ribbon or ribbon at the junction of the head to the body.
17.
Hurray our gnome is ready! According to this pattern, Dasha made as many as seven gnomes!
Dasha is currently developing a Snow White pattern.
So our gnome "Hurrah!" is ready. You are great!
I am very grateful to Daria Khanzhina for her help in preparing the master class and for the processed photos. All our gnomes make up one composition that can be used for a table tetra. Daria had the idea to create the character of Snow White and write the mater - class herself. I think that Daria will succeed.
And so, our master class is finished, by reading it you learned how to sew according to this pattern, select pieces of fabric, threads in the color of the fabric, and perform a manual machine seam.
I wish you all good luck and creative success! If you have questions - ask. I will answer with pleasure. I think that it was interesting and useful and our work was not in vain. I would be very happy to leave comments.
We are gnomes from a fairy tale
We live in a dense forest.
We love dancing
And a beauty tree.
We love to have fun
And sing songs!
Tolkien as a Vedic writer
Laughter causes attempts by Christians to present Tolkien as a Christian writer. This indicates a complete misunderstanding of the Anglo-Saxons in general and an elementary inability to analyze.
Recall that the Anglo-Saxons profess the principle of "changing the internal content under the old sign." Tolkien based his works on the myths of the white race, which later dissolved into national myths. In turn, they are based on the northern Vedas, a truncated copy of which is the timely Indian Vedas. By the way, what the Kremlin is now giving out as the Vedas and what is called the Svalyan-Aryan (here is Tartaria, where there is not a word about the rights of the inhabitants of this very Tartaria, but only some kind of greatness) Vedas are not Vedas (Melkor's distortion?), since there is not a word about self-knowledge (meditation), establishing control over reality and managing it.
Christianity itself, namely the teaching of Jesus Christ, originated in Judea, a province of the Roman Empire, through which there was trade with India. Jesus Christ lived in India from the age of 12 to 33 and after. There is a grave there. Accordingly, in Judea, he preached the Vedic teaching, which was later edited at the Ecumenical Councils. The Sermon on the Mount is dedicated to the ability to think, to distinguish between false and true information. It is filled with a whole range of complex concepts that would give pseudo-Christians a headache just because of their stupidity. It's not for you to crawl on your knees in front of the slave-owning god Yahweh.
Christianity is an Indian Vedic doctrine, which came to the Middle East (Judea), then to Rome and was 99% curtailed by the Ecumenical Councils.
Knowledge of the northern Vedic tradition was transmitted in England in closed societies, which are called Masonic, and today are available to everyone, since no one hides them. Freemasons measure, not obey the will of God the slave owner. That is, they think, but do not believe - they accept facts without evidence. Therefore, Tolkien is a Vedist under the Christian flag and nothing more.
Melkor is not Satan. Satan is bad in Christianity because he does not obey the will of God. Melkor did not have to rise to the will of Eru (the One), and his activities contrary to him are another integral part of the plan of Eru himself. The conditional negative of Melkor is that he does not create, but destroys and distorts - these are Vedic concepts aimed at understanding what is conditionally good and what is bad, and not some slavish absolute prohibitions as in Christianity.
Gandalf calls himself wise, that is, seeing cause and effect relationships. Others equal to him are called wise. Christians have wisdom, then knowledge is not held in high esteem. For Christians, knowledge increases sorrow. Eru is an esthete, and there is no aesthetics in Christianity at all, self-flagellation and squalor are encouraged. Orcs were aesthetically disgusting to Eru, while Christians believe that all humans should have lived like orcs. And the Era did not destroy the orcs, but let them live in peace, as well as the Numenoreans. The destruction of Numenor is not the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah because of the wrong way of life in general, but its destruction was due to an attempt on the lands of the immortals. Elves do not reincarnate, but people just reincarnate, that is, they go to no one knows where - they do not remember their previous incarnations. Analogue of the veil of Melien. In a number of early works, Eru says that he is not a person in the understanding of people, but a very complex system that needs to be known, that is, experienced. This is also evidenced by the dialogue between Finrod and Andreth, which indicates the complexity of Eru. And complexity is the concept of a knower, but not a believer.
Let's add that Tolkien's map of the world coincides with the map of Europe. And in the unfinished Oxford cycle, Tolkien directly indicates that in the 20th century, a certain group of scientists visited the knowledge of Atlantis (Númenor), and Aman today is North America. It is logical to assume that the direct route to Valinor is connected with the Bermuda Triangle, since it prevents people from getting from Europe to the USA and they disappear to no one knows where.
In general, there are no Christians anymore, since in Christianity all power comes from God or from Satan. But 99% of the modern population read stories like "Harry Potter", play online games like "Skyrim", "The Witcher", etc., where they themselves are the acquirers-carriers of power. She is not from God and not from the Devil. Similarly, Tolkien's power lies even in objects, and does not come from God or Melkor. 99% of people today thus adhere to the Vedic worldview on the basis of the fact that they themselves comprehend themselves and their capabilities. The emperors of Europe had statuettes of Aphrodite, Zeus and other pagan gods, which are the personification of Vedism, but not the crucifixion. In Constantinople there were temples dedicated to Zeus, Aphrodite, etc., many frescoes with naked girls, like the Indian Kamasutra, and no one went to Christian churches according to the Byzantine chronicles.
Very soon we will again feel the atmosphere of the New Year holiday. And in this, of course, not only gifts and a festive table will help us, but also decorations and decor. And just this decor we will create together with you with our own hands.
In this master class, we will sew beautiful magical Scandinavian gnomes. Ready? Then let's get to work.
Materials and tools
In order to sew three Scandinavian gnomes, we need:
- Thick blue cotton fabric
- fleece red,
- Light felt (for the face),
- Light beige felt (for nose),
- white faux fur,
- holofiber,
- red yarn,
- Leg-split,
- thin wire,
- threads,
- Scissors,
- Glue transparent for fabric.
pattern
On a separate piece of paper, draw all the details of the gnomes. Specify their number.
Cut out the paper details of our gnomes.
Stages of work
We start with the body. We will immediately sew three gnomes at the same time. We lay out the blue fabric on the table in two layers, right sides inward. Let's prepare the paper details of the torso, bottom and legs of the gnomes.
We lay out the patterns on the fabric. We pin them with pins. With chalk we transfer the contours of the details to the fabric.
We put marks on the details of the legs with chalk (holes through which we will turn the details on the front side).
Along the marked lines, we grind the details of the torso and legs. We do not build up the bottom of the body, but leave holes on the details of the legs (according to the marks). We do not touch the details of the bottom yet.
Cut out the details of the body and legs with small allowances.
Now, along the marked lines, we cut out the details of the lower body. Also with small allowances. Pay attention, cut out only three parts.
Let's move on to the handles of the gnomes. Prepare blue fabric and red fleece. We take the paper part of the gnome's hand.
On the fleece in one layer, we outline strips 4 cm wide.
Details of the hands of gnomes are sewn from two fabrics of different colors. Therefore, we cut out red strips of fabric and pin them to blue fabric cuts.
We machine stitch a strip of red fleece with a blue base fabric.
Turn the red stripes up. We fold the prepared pieces of fabric, right sides inward, aligning the stitching seams together. We pin them at the seams with pins so that they do not move.
We pin the paper pattern of the hand with pins. The line of the mitten marked on the pattern should coincide with the seam line on the fabric. With chalk we transfer the contours of the hands to the prepared pieces of fabric.
We mark with chalk the hole marks for turning the parts on the front side.
We grind the details of the hands with a machine line.
We cut out the details with small allowances.
With the tips of the scissors at the rounded places of the allowances, we make notches. This will give us the opportunity to easily turn the details on the front side and get smooth seams without corners.
Through the holes left, we turn the details of the legs and arms to the front side.
On the details of the lower body with chalk, we mark the centers.
On the bottom of the parts of the body with chalk, we mark the marks of the hole.
We pin the bottom part to the body with pins, combining the centers of the bottom with the stitching seams of the parts. We chip off in this way only two torsos. We leave the third one for now, because the third gnome is in a different position.
We fold the third body, as shown in the figure, combining the stitching seams. We put marks on the sides.
Now we combine the centers of the bottom part with the marks on the sides. We pin the bottom to the body with pins.
On the pins, we sweep with hand stitches the details of the bottom with the details of the torso.
We sew the details of the bottom with the body with a machine stitch, leaving holes for eversion. On the allowances with the tips of the scissors we make notches. Be careful not to damage the integrity of the line.
Turn each body right side out through the holes left. We straighten the seams.
Through the holes of the handle we fill with holofiber. Evenly distribute the filler along the length of the parts. We also fill the body.
Sew up the holes on the torso and arms of the gnomes with invisible hand stitches.
From light felt we cut out the faces of the gnomes. The pattern of the legs and face is the same. We pin the pattern with pins. We outline the contours and cut out the details without seam allowances.
We pin faces to each gnome with pins. Please note that we pin the faces of the two (upper) gnomes in front to the stitching seams. One dwarf (lower) in front without a seam.
We sew faces with hand loop stitches, light threads.
Cut out spouts from light beige felt. We pin the pattern with pins.
With chalk we outline the details on the felt. Cut them out without seam allowances.
In a circle, we collect slices of circles on a needle.
We tighten the thread and get a pocket, which we fill with a small amount of holofiber. We pull the thread to the end and with a few hand stitches we fix the tightened sections of the formed ball.
We pin the handles to the bodies of the gnomes with pins. For two gnomes, we pin the hands on the sides of the body, and for one - at the seams (the handles stretch to one side).
We sew hands to the torso of each gnome with hand secret stitches.
From red fleece, folded in two layers, we cut out caps. Pin the paper pattern to the fleece with a pin. With chalk we transfer the outline of the pattern.
We lay machine lines along the marked lines. Cut out caps with small allowances.
Using a thin wooden stick, turn the caps right side out.
From artificial fur we cut out beards for gnomes. We pin the beard pattern with pins to the fur.
Draw the outline of the beard with a pencil.
We cut out the beards from the fur with thin pointed small scissors. It is necessary to cut carefully, capturing only the knitted fabric. And in no case do not cut on the fur. The pile of fur should remain long and not cut off at the edges.
We pin the beards with pins to the faces of the gnomes. In those places of the face where the beard will be glued, apply a thin layer of transparent glue. Glue on the beard. The lower part of it remains free.
Now we sew our balls - spouts. A few hand stitches. You can glue on the nose.
We embroider cute smiles for our gnomes with red yarn (three different ones are possible).
We cut the wire with a length equal to two lengths of the cap.
We pierce the head of the gnome with wire in the area of \u200b\u200bthe top of the head. We put together the two ends of the wire. Lightly twist them together.
We put caps on top of the wire and now with the help of wire we attach any configuration to the upper part of the caps. So that the caps do not fall off the heads, we glue their lower parts (from the wrong side) in several places directly to the head.
On the bottom of the body with red yarn we embroider the trim with a cross.
The legs are sewn or glued to the bottom of the body.
To make bags, you need to take red fleece and fold it in two layers. Mark a rectangle 8cm x 13cm. Side fold.
We cut out three such rectangles without allowances.
We fold them along, we cut them off along the side and lower sections with pins.
We grind the seams of the bags along the marked lines with a machine stitch.
Turn the bags right side out. Slightly below, fill each bag with holofiber.
We cut the wire for each bag, equal to the length of two bag lengths.
We insert double-folded pieces of wire into each bag. We tie them with twine.
We put a bag in the handles of each gnome. Sew it to the handles with a few hand stitches. With the help of a wire inside the bag, each bag can be bent for stability of the dwarf on legs. You can put a small weighting agent in the bag so that the gnome does not fall.

So our Scandinavian gnomes are ready.
After watching films about fairy elves and gnomes in the company of my eldest daughter, I came up with the idea to create such a stylish gnome for home decor. Yes, and the children will certainly be delighted with this delightful toy!
In addition, there are less than 100 days before the New Year and Christmas, so why not start preparing, albeit slowly, but carefully, already now.
I thought for a long time how and from what to make christmas gnome until my needlewoman friend gave me a wonderful idea with an old sweater. Such an old sweater that you don’t want to wear, but it’s a pity to throw it away, is in every housewife’s house.
« So why not make a stylish craft out of it.!" - I said and, thanking my friend for the advice, set to work. The best part is that it doesn’t take much time to create such a decor, while the process and the result will capture you with your head.
Editorial "So simple!" prepared 12 inspiring examples of fairytale gnomes which you can easily make with your own hands. And the manufacturing process itself can be viewed at the bottom of the article under examples of work. Happy viewing!
DIY gnome
- To sew a gnome, you will need: a sleeve from an old sweater, a piece of fur, a synthetic winterizer and material for a hat, such as knitwear (it can also be from a sweater).
The whole process takes me about half an hour. Can be sewn on a sewing machine or by hand.
- What a great idea for a Christmas present!
- To understand how to make such a gnome Check out this little tutorial.
- Not only an old sweater, but also bright warm socks can be suitable for making a gnome hat.
- « The gnome turns out to be small, but remote! Smiling playfully, smart, kind and beautiful!" - my youngest daughter Lisa used to say when we made such gnomes together.
- Another affordable tutorial on how to make an adorable Christmas gnome.
- I love these ideas!
- Did you know that in Scandinavia such gnomes are called nisse. The Nisse live on the farms and help the farmers with their daily chores. In return, the nisse asks for trust, respect, and porridge seasoned with plenty of butter for every Christmas Eve.
- And these will be a wonderful decoration not only on the eve of the winter holidays, but also in the fall.
- The Norwegians say that it is the nisse gnomes who are “responsible” for the December holidays, and all because once upon a time, their great-great-grandfather decided to have a little fun and put two coins in a bowl of a hungry girl.
He liked this leprosy so much that the next year he decided to repeat it, and then he got involved, and away we go. His grateful descendants now also indicate to people which spruce should be cut down for Christmas, swinging on its top until dull people finally turn their attention to the beauty.
- Some more cool ideas!
- And so that such charming gnomes not only decorate the house, but also bring good luck, they need to be made with your own hands, and not bought in a store. It is simply necessary to put your soul, your feelings and mood, your New Year's dreams into them. Otherwise, they simply will not become magical!
