Gifts for Defender of the Fatherland Day can be purchased in the store, or you can make them yourself, for example, from felt. Felt will allow you to make beautiful and practical crafts for February 23, and even children will be able to work with it. A surprise made by yourself will bring many pleasant minutes to you and your loved ones.

Original gift box

You can present a pre-purchased gift to a man in a beautiful and original handmade packaging. Colorful wrapping paper is more suitable for ladies, so in this master class we will consider an unusual handmade felt craft for February 23rd.

Tools and materials:

• high box of chips;
• black felt A4 sheet;
• white felt A4 sheet;
• red felt;
• hot glue;
• iron;
• buttons;
• toothpick;
• black acrylic paint.

Sequencing:

• Open the box with chips and remove the contents.
• Cut off 5 cm from a sheet of white felt, and reduce a sheet of black felt by 2 cm. Measurements may differ slightly, it all depends on the size of the jar.

We wrap the future case with white felt, leaving a small strip below. Then we glue the material to the jar using hot melt glue

Black felt will mimic a tuxedo, so the top should be decorated with cuffs. We bend the upper corners of the sheet inward and iron it with a hot iron. Glue the black material on top of the white felt, stepping back a few centimeters from the edge of the jar

Glue the buttons on the fold line of the black felt, three pieces will be enough

Cut out a small strip of red felt, 3x8 cm in size. Fold the strip in the middle and fix it with glue and a piece of red felt. Glue the resulting bow on the top of the tuxedo

Using a toothpick and black paint, draw small dots on white felt, imitating buttons on a shirt

Cut out a circle from black felt to the size of the lid from the jar and a strip measuring 3x12 cm. Glue the material to the top of the lid. We fold the strip and glue the ends

Glue the resulting figure in the center of the lid. Close the top of the cylinder with a small circle of black felt

Cut out two small pockets from black felt and glue them to the tuxedo

The gift wrapping is ready, it remains to put the prepared surprise into it and close the lid. You can put a small note or a greeting card in your tuxedo pocket. When making crafts for February 23 from felt with your own hands, do not forget to add decorative elements. They will reflect your individual style and make the souvenir unique

Surprise in military uniform

This simple master class with step-by-step photos will help to support the main theme of the holiday and make your man an original gift. To make crafts for February 23 from felt, you can choose any color of a military uniform, make individual shoulder straps and rank. For decor, you will need simple and affordable materials, among which felt takes an important place.

The craft is based on a small bottle of a suitable shape; you can use expensive alcoholic drinks.

Tools and materials:

• bottle;
• thick blue felt;
• black felt;
• thin blue ribbon;
• golden buttons and stars;
• hot glue;
• golden thread.

Sequencing:

1. We cut out four identical blanks for shoulder straps. They should be the same size as the bottle. We glue the blanks in two.
2. Glue a blue ribbon on the upper part of the felt shoulder straps, forming parallel stripes. Glue buttons and stars between the strips.
3. To make a cap, measure the neck of the bottle and cut out a strip of felt. The strip should completely cover the lid and wrap around it. We glue the ends of the strip with hot melt glue.
4. Take a small circle of felt, turn the bottle over and place the neck on the circle. Move the bottle slightly from the center and cut out a circle corresponding to the diameter of the cork.
5. We fold the resulting workpiece in half and align the edges. It turns out a workpiece in the shape of a horseshoe. We make small cuts from the inside of the product and glue the edges of the workpiece with hot melt glue. It turned out to be the top of the cap.
6. We glue the resulting upper part to the previously made strip, carefully connecting the blanks.
7. We close the upper part of the cap with a felt circle and clean the product from excess glue.
8. We make a visor out of black felt, about 4 cm long and 2 cm high. We glue the visor to the cap, bend it and fix it for a while.
9. Glue a golden thread between the visor and the main part of the cap. It will serve as an additional decor and hide excess glue.
10. We decorate the center of the cap with a gold button and put it on the bottle.

The main elements of the form are ready. The bottle itself can be decorated with satin ribbons, buttons and stars.

The form will harmoniously complement a white shirt and tie, also made of ribbons. A ready-made gift made with your own hands for February 23 looks very impressive, solid and festive.

However, do not forget that the most beautiful felt crafts require carefulness and patience. Therefore, work carefully with small elements and pay attention to detail.

Felt keychain

Felt can be used not only for festive decor, but also for making an original souvenir. A small keychain in the shape of a tank, made of this practical material, will effectively complement a bunch of keys and will be an excellent gift for a man on February 23rd.

To make felt crafts, you can use ready-made templates, or make patterns with your own hands.

Tools and materials:

• felt;
• floss;
• scissors;
• needles;
• holofiber;
• lace.

Sequencing:

We draw on paper the main details that will be required for the pattern. We will need two bases for the tank, two small rectangles and six circles for the wheels

• We apply the blanks to the felt sheets and cut out the necessary parts. You can use any color of the material, the main thing is to make the constituent elements of different shades.
• Sew three wheels to each of the two blanks for the tank and add decor to your liking. You can make a bright inscription or decorate the tank with a felt star.

We sew the blanks for the muzzle together, leaving the top of the product free. We fill the resulting part with holofiber and sew it up

Sew a lace on the inside of one of the parts of the tank, use a blind seam

We collect the details of the tank. We attach the muzzle between the blanks and sew two parts of the product to the middle. We fill the souvenir with holofiber and sew it up

You can make an airplane, ship, steering wheel or helicopter in the same way. When working with felt, you can show your creative imagination and make a unique present for your protector. Use various workshops, photo and video materials, and soon you will be able to create real works of art

Felt for making party crafts can be purchased at a craft store. There you will find a large selection of materials in various densities.

It is best to take several options for felt, of different thicknesses. Thick material is great for making souvenirs and large parts, and thin felt is indispensable for a large number of small items.

The color palette is quite wide, so you can safely fantasize and create bright and unusual felt crafts for February 23, popular in the preschool educational institution. These gifts will delight loved ones on February 23rd or decorate any other holiday.
