But is it worth it to pay money for what you can do yourself? In this article we will tell you how to make letters of felt, the pattern of which will be attached below.
Selection of analogues
To make letters from felt with their own hands, you needlook at analogues of works and be inspired by ready-made products of masters. It is from borrowing other people's ideas and connecting them with their design that the author's product is obtained. Do not blindly copy samples of letters that you liked. Think about how you can make the product more attractive by design or more functional. It may be necessary to remove a few sharp corners, and the shape of the letter will be more ergonomic.
Drawing a sketch
You need to work consistently. Have you already found samples of beautiful letters of felt? Pattern must not be done immediately. First you need to think about what word or font composition will be smoothed letters. Perhaps it will be the name of a loved one, a child or a friend, or maybe it will be some abstract beautiful word, for example, "Love". Having decided on the word, you need to determine the font. Felt is a rather dense material, and it is almost impossible to make thin lines out of it. Therefore, immediately you need to choose a pattern with thick lines and without curls.
Draw a Pattern
By selecting the appropriate font, you can proceedthe manufacture of letters of felt. The pattern is very simple: the word is printed with the font that you like. Each contour cuts out each letter. Here is the pattern and ready. Now you need to transfer the picture to felt. This material has two sides - facial, but do not rejoice that now you do not have to mirror the details. This is necessary, because on the wrong side we automatically have the one on which we traced the printed pattern. By the way, it is best to trace a water-soluble marker or a piece of sharply sharpened soap. Pencil draw is not worth it, because it is then difficult to remove from the fabric.
After all the letters are circled, we begin to cut out in a circled form, retreating 1-1.5 cm from each side to the hem.
We sew the letters
Sew the letters from felt with their own hands simply, forthis does not even require a sewing machine. We take one of the details of the letter and the detail of the "thickness" and sew them with a seam "over the edge." After sewing the entire letter, we proceed to sewing the other side. The main thing is, in the process of work, do not forget to turn out and stuff the product with filler, because it will not work at the end of the job. You can stuff the product with a sintepon or a holofiber (tightly twisted balls). You can also use cotton or unnecessary trimming fabric.
After the product is sewn, turned and stuffed, it is necessary to sew the last hole left after packing the last segment. The toy-pillow is ready!
How to sew letters from felt that do not haveadditional thickness? Here everything is a bit more complicated: you need to sew two parts of the product according to the algorithm given above, turn it out and stuff it. The complexity of this method lies in the fact that you need to think over in advance, in what order to sew the product, otherwise some letters (for example, "A") you can not unscrew.
