For many parents, the question of how to make a children's toy with their own hands is not a matter of economy. DIY things are more soulful, while parenting skills in making toys allow you to make new friends for your child almost every day.
Necessary
Cuts of various fabrics, threads, needles, additional accessories for creating facial features or decorating toys
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start work, you first need to decide what kind of toy you want to get as a result of home creativity. It can be any soft toy with your own hands or the Tilda doll, which is so popular today. After the decision is made, it is necessary to select the appropriate pattern for the product. It can be found on many sites on the Internet or in handicraft stores. Many sewing magazines for children also include patterns for children's toys. Usually, recommendations for the production of a particular product are also attached to this pattern.
Step 2
It doesn't matter if it's a DIY Tilda doll or a teddy bear, but the pattern must be transferred to the fabric. After the product template is created, it remains to cut and sew the parts, taking into account the necessary seam allowances for sewing. This can be done either with a sewing machine or with a regular needle and thread. When sewing, remember to leave a hole in order to stuff the toy through it. It should be in the least visible part of the animal.
Step 3
As a stuffing material, cotton wool today is considered not very suitable, since it crumples and over time the toy simply loses its shape. It is better to use holofiber, which can be taken from old pillows or blankets. After all the details of the toy are filled with a thin stick, it remains only to sew up this hole with a blind seam.
Step 4
You can decorate the toy with various accessories. Facial features are embroidered or artificial materials in the form of beads or beads are used for them. For some toys, wardrobe items are created separately, made separately or sewn together with fragments of the toy's torso. Most often, soft and warm fabrics, such as fleece or flannel, are used to make the toy more comfortable.
