Felt is very popular in needlework. The material is beautiful, easy to use and has a pleasant texture. We offer you to make Easter crafts out of felt with your own hands. All the proposed master classes are simple, but also incredibly interesting.

Felt chicken

Felt can be used to make a chicken, which will be a great addition to Easter decor, or it can be used to decorate baskets of Easter eggs.

Master Class:

Draw an egg template on plain paper, cut it out and transfer it to soft yellow felt. Let's prepare two parts at once

Cut out the legs and a small diamond for the beak from red felt

• We also cut out two wings and a scallop from yellow felt.
• We insert the paws between the details of the egg and sew everything together with an overcasting seam. Also, in the process, we sew on a comb, fill the craft with filler so that the chicken turns out to be voluminous.

• Now we sew or just glue the beak and small black beads in place of the peephole.
• If desired, we also decorate the chicken with flowers with the help of threads and glue.

Insert a skewer between the seams, fix it with glue

Felt may vary in composition. For crafts, it is better not to use synthetic material, it deforms and rolls quickly.

Felt chicken

You can make the most interesting crafts out of felt. For example, an Easter chicken, which will become a beautiful decoration for a festive table.

Master Class:

Cut out the wings using patterns from yellow felt - two parts for each wing

We take two wing parts, put them together and sew them in a circle with an overlock stitch. We fill in the process, but overdo it so that the wing does not get too thick. Let's prepare the second wing in the same way

• Cut out the beak and scallop from red felt according to the patterns. White - two parts for the body of the chicken.
• The chicken will act as a stand for the Easter egg, so you need a bottom, which we also cut out of white felt according to the pattern.

• We apply the bottom to the first main part, sew, and then we apply the second part. So we completely sew the bottom to the chicken's body.
• Now we sew the body itself. We start with the tail, do not touch the upper part.
• In the process of sheathing, we immediately sew on the beak and comb. Then we sew on the wings.

We put filler inside the chicken for stability, and sisal on top

We glue toy eyes to the chicken

For stability, the bottom can be cut from a denser felt. If this is not the case, then you can cut out a piece of cardboard and glue it over with soft felt.

Easter egg made of felt

What a bright holiday without Easter eggs, which can be made even from plain paper. But from felt they turn out to be more beautiful, bright and unusual.

Master Class:

• Using a template from white soft felt, cut out two parts for an Easter egg.
• In one part, with small scissors, cut a hole through which the chicken will look out.

• For the chicken, cut an oval out of yellow felt and sew it onto a small piece that we cut out of peach felt.
• For the eyelet, you can take small black beads or make them using a French knot.
• We also embroider the beak with red threads or use felt.
• Sew the chicken to the shell with a loop stitch. The seam can be highlighted with darker threads.

• Now we sew together two parts of the egg, insert a skewer between the seams.
• We apply feathers, tie them with threads and hide them under a satin ribbon.

To transfer patterns to felt, you can use a special self-disappearing marker, but ordinary tailor's chalk will do.

Easter Birds

For Easter, you can make crafts in the form of eggs, bunnies, chickens. But also beautiful birds can be sewn to decorate Easter cake or Easter baskets from felt.

Master Class:

Cut out two parts of the bird's body from blue felt or any other color according to the template

• We also cut out two wing parts and a beak from purple felt according to the template.
• Now we sew together the body parts, leave a small hole in the tail through which we fill the craft with any filler, sew the hole.
• Sew on the bird's wings and beak.
• We make eyes for her. You can use gel paint or glue on small beads.

If desired, the bird can be decorated with beads, small flowers or feathers.

Easter handbag

This craft will especially appeal to little craftswomen, because with their own hands they can make a felt bag in the form of an Easter bunny. Sewing a handbag is not at all difficult, just follow the step by step photo.

Master Class:

• For the base, the handle and the bunny itself, we use felt with a thickness of 2 mm, and for all other parts, a material with a thickness of 1 mm is suitable.
• We will prepare all the details. We just cut them out of felt according to templates.

• We attach a bunny to the base of one of the sides, but first we glue a white belly and inner pink ears to it.
• We also glue the bunny a little to the base and then, if desired, sew the tummy, ears with threads and immediately sew on small paws.

• Now we take the handle for the purse, round the edges, pin to the base and sew.
• We sew the bag on four sides with ordinary threads or floss.

• We glue the same base of the bottom down to make the bag more stable.
• We glue the black eyes, nose and pink cheeks cut out of felt to the bunny.
• Apply glare to black eyes with white paint.

If you don't like sewing, you can only use glue. But the craftswomen in such works do not really trust him, because if you put something heavy in your purse, it can simply fall apart.

Easter bunny

If you want to give an unusual gift for Easter, then we suggest making an Easter bunny for decorating a bottle with sweets. Such a gift will please not only children, but also adults.

Master Class:

Cut out a circle with a diameter of 10.3 cm from felt, as well as a rectangle with dimensions of 27x32 cm

We apply a circle to the very edge of the rectangle, that is, the bottom, as in the photo, and sew with an overlock seam

As a result, you should get such a cover for the bottle, the sides of which we simply glue with an overlap

• At the base of the neck, we tie it with a ribbon or braid, tie a bow.
• Cut out ears for a bunny from white and pink glitter foamiran.
• We glue the pink ones to the white ears, and then glue the ears themselves onto the cover.

• Glue black half-beads in place of the peephole, and use thin fishing line for the spout.
• We glue two white pompons on the antennae, a black half-bead on top, and a tooth cut out from foamiran under the nose.

We also glue pom-poms in place of the tail and legs

You can supplement such a gift with one more craft in the form of an Easter bunny, namely, make an egg stand.

Master Class:

• First, let's prepare a template. We take a regular sheet of paper, fold it in half, measure out a 5x5 cm square.
• Draw a square so that the fold line is in the center of the shape.
• We measure 7.5 cm from the square, draw the body, and then the head and ears.

• Cut out the template, cut off the ears on one side.
• We transfer the pattern to felt and also cut it out.
• We fold the cut out part in half and tie it with a beautiful ribbon or string.

For decoration we use any decor: lace, beads, rhinestones, flowers

• Cut out small ears from pink felt, glue them.
• We glue small eyes (you can take beads) and a nose, it can be cut out of felt of the same color as the ears.

Ordinary threads are suitable for connecting felt parts, but if you need to embroider patterns or sew two parts "over the edge", it is better to use floss threads.

Easter basket

Today, on the Internet, you can find the most interesting things that can be made of felt. For example, an Easter basket filled with colored eggs, sweets and presented as a gift.

Materials:

• felt 3 mm thick;
• felt for daisies;
• satin ribbon 2.5 cm;
• rep tape 1 cm;
• braid "zigzag" 9 mm;
• floristic wire.

Master Class:

We translate the templates onto dense felt for the basket, cut it out

We take the part for the side and sew its sides together, and then we sew the bottom to the side

We make a ruffle from a satin ribbon (stripes width 1 cm), glue along the edges of the side

Glue a rep ribbon along the bottom edge of the satin ruffle

• We will decorate the basket with daisies. To do this, also using a template, we cut out two details for a flower, several leaves.
• We glue two flowers together, in the middle we glue a circle of a contrasting color.
• Now we glue the chamomile together with the leaves on the basket.

• We glue the "zigzag" to the floristic wire from one side and the other.
• We give the wire the shape of a handle and glue it to the basket.

You should not use cotton wool as fillers for felt products; it will not work to fill the craft evenly. It is best suited synthetic winterizer or synthetic winterizer, as well as holofiber.

Easter cake

Easter cake is another original craft that can be made from felt. Easter cake can also be presented as a gift by putting various sweets into it.

Master Class:

1. From the tube we cut off the cylinder required in height, apply it to the thick cardboard, cut out the bottom and glue it to the main part.
2. Cut a rectangle out of brown felt according to the size of the main part. Its height should be 1.5 cm more on one side and the other.
3. We wrap the base with felt, fix it with glue.
4. In the lower part of the felt we make cuts and glue it to the bottom, and also glue the upper part inside the cylinder.
5. Cut the bottom out of felt and glue it.
6. Glue the white “zigzag” braid inside along the bottom edge of the felt.
7. For the glaze, you need a foam ball, from which we cut off the lid with a hot wire.
8. Cut a circle out of cardboard, glue it over with white felt and glue it to the foam blank.
9. Sew or glue beads, beads and other decor to soft felt, which will resemble pastry sprinkles.
10. We glue the felt to the foam, cut off the excess material with wavy lines.

If there is no tube, then the sides and bottom can be cut out of thick felt, and then sew all the parts together.

DIY Easter crafts made of felt can delight for more than one year. The main thing is to know how to care for them. If heavily soiled, the felt can be cleaned with a sponge and carpet cleaning foam, or it can be washed with a delicate wash. In other cases, you can simply walk on the surface with a soft brush.
