Christmas angel
We will need:
- beige calico;
- colored cotton fabric;
- white and red fleece;
- lurex and iris threads;
- synthetic filler;
- dry blush;
- black marker.
Pattern
We print all the details in full size, having previously decided on the dimensions. The optimal height of the Christmas angel tilde is 18-19 cm.
Description
We combine beige and multi-colored fabric. We lay out the patterns of the parts so that the head and arms fall on the beige color of the material. We also place the legs on beige fabric. When marking, the fabric must be folded in half.
We make a line along the contour of the elements. Please note that we need to leave gaps. On the patterns they are shown with dotted lines.
We cut out the blanks, leaving an allowance of 2 to 3 mm.
We turn the parts inside out and stuff them with filler. We fill the head, neck, hands and feet especially tightly. Sew up the remaining gaps.
We bend the bottom of the panties inward, slightly tighten them and, carefully inserting them, sew in the legs with hidden stitches.
We sew on the handles, performing forward and reverse stitches with one thread. This way we provide mobility to the tilde handles.
Since our Tilda doll is a New Year's angel, we will sew her a warm dress, made of fleece.
Fold the fabric in half and mark the pattern. We sew along the contour. Cut it out, leaving a small allowance, and turn it inside out. We decorate the outfit with lace and embroidery - it all depends on your imagination.
Now let's work on the wings. Fold the colored fabric in half and mark the details.
Sew along the contour, leaving a gap.
We cut out the wings, turn them inside out, and fill them with padding polyester. This should not be done very tightly.
We sew up the gap left and stitch the wings, creating a relief of the plumage.
Sew wings onto the dress. We cut out felt boots from white fleece using a pattern for the feet. We add cuffs to the pants. If desired, you can sew a loop on the wings.
Now let’s do our doll’s hair. We use iris threads to wind onto any template of a suitable size. You can make it from thick paper. We sew a parting in the center.
We cut the thread from the reverse side and only then remove the workpiece from the paper. It turned out to be a small wig.
We sew it on the head. The choice of hair styling is at your discretion. You can imitate braids, ponytails, or just straighten them and leave them as is. Draw the eyes with a marker and highlight the cheeks with blush.
Angel for Christmas and New Year is ready!
Christmas Doll Guardian
Do not be disdainful of 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 art form 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 whole point is that by creating a small amulet doll, you charge it with your energy, invest a sincere desire to protect it and protect it from evil. Therefore, such amulets are usually exchanged with children, parents, loved ones and close people.
The common distinguishing feature of all protective dolls is that they do not have facial features. It is believed that through the painted eyes, someone evil can enter the doll. It is also not customary to decorate figurines - excessive pretentiousness and brightness attract attention, which is absolutely not required. Several master classes on how to make different protective angels.
Angel made of threads
This amulet craft can be hung on a Christmas tree during the winter holidays. To 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 of it will be needed for the body of the angel; arms and wings are made from the smaller ones.
First step. Fold the larger bundle in half and place a cotton ball in the fold. This is the head. Carefully distribute the threads so that the cotton wool is not visible; tie the bundle under the ball with a separate thread.
Second step. Under the neck thread, divide the yarn into front and back. Fold the front part over your head and place a smaller bundle of thread perpendicularly in the middle. Return the folded yarn back to its place.
Third step. Make several constrictions with threads, forming the arms and waist of the angel. Separately knit the third bundle of threads - first pull along the edges, then in the center. Pull the threads so that you get two rounded triangles with a constriction.
Fourth step. Tie the wings to the back of the figurine, tying the chest crosswise in front. Weave a braid-hoop from three separate threads and tie it on the doll’s head. The amulet is ready!
Handkerchief amulet
The simplest options, which even a child can master, do not require the ability to sew or any other skills. You will need a square of white fabric, a ball of cotton wool, red and white threads.
