How to make New Year's boots. Templates and stencils for New Year's boots

The tradition of putting a Christmas present in a boot was born so long ago that no one really remembers why it was necessary to do it.

One of the legends says that this happened in a poor hut, so poor that there was not even anything to put a Christmas tree on. And there was nowhere - the hut was too cramped. But poor parents loved their children no less than rich ones and could not deprive them of one of the joys of the New Year - receiving gifts.

The mother sewed a doll from scraps, and the father whittled a saber out of wood. But they didn’t even have a box in which to put these treasures. But there was either a pair of worn-out shoes for all the children at once, or a pair of darned and over-darned stockings. And when the children fell asleep, the poor parents put their gifts, made with such love, into these shoes.

So it was customary to put gifts in the boot on Christmas or New Year's Eve. All the villagers liked this idea so much that it was adopted by those whose gifts simply did not fit under the tree.

Well, in our time, a beautifully designed New Year's boot is a part of a festive interior, a Christmas tree decoration, or even a gift in itself (quite utilitarian, which can be worn like house slippers).

What it will be, so tiny that even a small diamond ring will not fit there, or huge, like a whole house, is up to you to decide. And additional decoration for the holiday never hurts.

More ideas for New Year's boots and socks:

New Year's boots can be made from very different materials, ranging from traditional ones - felt, fabric and knitted wool - to completely incredible ones.

Braid, multi-colored ribbons, buttons and other accessories will help make the boot unique, even if you bought it in a store.

You can use the most ordinary boot as a New Year's boot. Naturally, it must be new, clean and elegant.

An old sweater or jacket is also suitable for making an original New Year's boot.

A boot made of brocade, velvet or satin, as well as a simple plain fabric, would be good.

The main thing is that they are made with love and filled with truly desired gifts.

Or you can make such a New Year’s tear-off, or rather pinch-off, calendar - a garland for the New Year holidays.

To do this, just embroider on each sock or write with a fabric marker the capital letter of the name of the person to whom the gift is intended. These could also be the dates of the month on which you need to get gifts. For every day of the New Year holidays, one gift, albeit a small one, you must agree, this is great!

The tradition of putting gifts in huge socks appeared many years ago. It all started in beautiful England. Typically, Christmas boots are hung above the fireplace, as it is believed that Santa comes into the house through the chimney. A New Year's boot for gifts should find its place in every home. The presence of a fireplace is not necessary for this, because it can be hung anywhere. Decorating a room like this will not only become a family tradition, but will also lift your spirits, create a festive atmosphere, and especially delight children. Today you can find master classes on making New Year's boots from different materials, but felt is still the most convenient.

To make a New Year's boot for gifts with your own hands, you will need:

- felt of different colors: red, blue, white, green, pink, lilac, orange, yellow, brown;
- satin ribbons of different colors;
- scissors;
- needle;
- white threads;
- paper and pencil.

DIY New Year's boot

You can make a pattern for a New Year's boot with your own hands. On paper, draw a boot of the size you need, and on it all the necessary elements.

We make the base of the New Year's boot from red and blue felt.

We will end up with two completely identical parts, just different colors.

Now you can cut our pattern into parts: into a Christmas tree, balls, decorations.

We also transfer these paper patterns onto felt of different colors. The tree should be green, and the rest of the decorations depending on your wishes.

The parts on the boot can be glued with super glue or a hot gun, or you can sew them on. First, let's decorate our Christmas tree with toys. Sew the balls using white thread in the center.

Using the needle stitch forward, sew the brown trunk to the tree.

Let's start making gifts that will decorate our New Year's felt boot.

We will sew satin ribbons with an imitation bow at the top onto the gift box blanks.

They can be varied, but bright and cheerful.

Now you can sew all the details onto the base of the New Year's boot. With the seam forward, the needle and white threads are used to sew all the elements onto the boot.

We will place boxes with gifts under the Christmas tree.

We will decorate the front part of the boot along the upper edge with a white felt wave, which will resemble the snow that hangs from the roofs of the house.

Here is such a wonderful New Year's boot made of felt, the pattern of which was made by your own hands and according to your taste, you will get it in just a couple of hours of working with felt.

Once you have sewn all the appliques onto the front of the felt boot, you can start sewing the two bases together.

But our New Year's boot still needs to be hung on something. To do this, sew a loop of satin ribbon into the upper corner.

Create New Year's magic in your home with your own hands. You already know how to make a New Year's boot, but with the help of your imagination you can come up with any decor on it. Consider a few more options for New Year's felt boot patterns.

The tradition of decorating a house came to us from the West. New Year And Christmas decorative sewn boots.

It’s very easy to make them with your own hands, and besides, such a boot is a great package for the little one gift, which is not entirely convenient to give just like that. And any little thing placed in it (for example, a chocolate bar) will become bright and memorable a gift, verified!

I will tell you about my experience in implementing an idea Alexandra Alexandrovna Nikulina on simplified sewing of such boots.

So, to begin with, let's decide on pattern. You can draw your own (it’s very simple), or you can translate it from a ready-made pattern in a magazine or on the Internet (luckily there are plenty of them). The main thing is that the gift that you are going to pack in this boot fits freely into it.

In use materials And decor give your space fantasy, decorate the front side with decorative stitches, ribbons, sparkles - after all, it’s a holiday!

I do patchwork, so for the front side of my boot I prepared patchwork fabric from squares:

If you want to make your boot thicker, you can quilt the front (and back) side of the boot with a small layer padding polyester.

Now let's start with the most important thing: add layers. We put on the table:

layer linings face up
on it - the second layer linings face down
above - patchwork(facial) part of the face up
fabric for backdrop boot face down.

Cleaving all layers with pins:

We trace the contours of the boot according to the template and we sew(except for the top).

Trimming excess, leaving allowances along the seam line.

In places of bends, do not forget to do notches according to the allowances so that after turning the seam does not tighten.

Now turn it inside out boot between the patchwork part and the backdrop.

In this case, the seam between the two parts of the lining will be closed, and your boot, even from the inside, will not have open ragged seams! And this one line!

Now all that's left to do is finish it top cut.

Moreover, you can simplify the procedure here: leave a small “tail” of tape, then bend it into a loop and secure (and at the same time decorate) with some bead or button.

It's that simple! If you do without patchwork fabric, the work will take it's an hour!

Making boots is fashionable fun and a profitable business.

In 2007, the fashion houses Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Badgley Mischka, Josie Natori and Anthropologie presented their own Christmas socks to the public.

Each boot had a “character”.

For example, Mark Badgley and James Mischka sewed an elegant “feminine” sock from gray silk. It was decorated with a large bow and metal pendants, and “feminine” things were placed inside.

The sock from Anthropologie turned out to be the most “rich”. It is made of felt, cardboard, bamboo. It also included pipe cleaners, wire, buttons, schnapps, automatic guns and even silver spoons...

All of these Christmas socks, as well as socks from other famous designers, were available for purchase on eBay. By the way, the designers filled their socks with gifts. And the proceeds from their sale were used to help the elderly.

Like this New Year's boot you can do it yourself.

New Year's boots for gifts

To sew New Year's boot To make your own gifts, you will need suitable fabric, paints for painting on fabric and fringe or braid.

I just signed the names with paint.

Such New Year's boots, made by hand can be used for gifts for children.

I just signed the names with paint.

Like these ones christmas boots I sewed for my children several years ago.

To sew shoe for gifts we will need:
- red material (I bought red fleece 0.5 m)
- white material for “fur” (I literally bought a 20 cm strip of some kind of furry material)
- material of any other color if you embroider names (I had purple fleece)
- a piece of faith
- decorations

Let's retake the pattern - you can enlarge it in any graphic program or draw it by cells. My boots turned out to be 21 cm high.
Sewn shoe for gifts It’s simple: we cut it out on fabric with seam allowances, sew the sides of the boots and sew “fur” and a rope on top so that there is something to hang it on. We decorate to your taste. My kids put notes there with wishes for New Year gifts from Santa Claus.

ATTENTION: if you want, like me, to decorate boots with the names of children, then first you need to sew on the letters, and then sew the boots themselves.
I took the letters from Word, selected a font without unnecessary monograms, and simply enlarged the font to the size I needed. I printed them, cut them out of fabric, under which I placed interlining so that the letters remained even. That's all, the boots are ready!
This is what it looks like enlarged:

December is just around the corner - the month of pre-holiday bustle, the month of anticipation of holidays, fairy tales and miracles.

It is the Christmas and New Year holidays that have been absorbed into us since childhood with the aroma of pine needles, sparklers and fireworks, some kind of mystery, magic and miracle. Every time the chimes strike, we make another (or the same) wish, confident that this time it will definitely come true. We prepare gifts for our family and friends, come up with many different delicious dishes - almost for the whole year... As for the bowl of Olivier salad, I’m not sure that everyone still puts it on the New Year’s table. But once upon a time, in “stagnant times,” celebrating the New Year without this salad was considered bad manners. Traditions…

Sorry, as always, I deviated from the topic; after all, my topic is handicraft, not culinary.

Let's start making Christmas boots (socks, stockings - whatever you like) for gifts. Although such a boot itself can become a wonderful gift, isn’t it?

For production we will need:

1. Blue wool blend fabric for sewing the base of the boot;
(Or another one, to your taste)

2. Adhesive dublerin to give a more rigid shape to the boot;

3. Pieces of white non-woven material (bulk interlining, padding polyester) for making a snowman and snow;

4. Pieces of red or orange cloth for making the nose and
snowman headdress;

5. Dark brown yarn for making a broom;
6. Fabric with blue glitter for finishing the top of the boot in the shape of a starry sky;

7. Bias tape or braid for edging seams;

8. Beads for making eyes and mouth for a snowman and for depicting stars

9. Sewing machine or just a needle and thread.

So, we draw models of boots on paper, choose one of them in order to give a start to life.

We cut out two parts of the boot from blue fabric and from dublerin, arranging them in a mirror manner.
Mirror - it's like this.

On the wrong side of the main pattern, we place the dublerin with the adhesive side to the fabric and iron it with an iron through gauze or a cotton napkin.

We begin to decorate one of the sides of the boot.
To do this, fluff the edge of the non-woven material on one side, and on the other, align it with the bottom of the boot.

We lay several decorative lines along the non-woven material, sewing it on. We place the top line at a distance of about 0.8 cm from the fluffy edge, maintaining the illusion of fluffy snow.

We cut out circles of different diameters from non-woven material to make a snowman.
We sew the parts together, put a cloth bucket on the snowman’s head and sew on a carrot nose. Using black beads we draw embers-eyes and a mouth for the snowman.

We baste them to the front side of the boot and attach them with a zigzag seam along the edge.
Subsequently, the snowman seemed to me somehow defenselessly lonely, so I decided to “sculpt” his hands and reward him with a broom.
A bucket on the head is “dusted” with snow from fluffy non-woven material.

I made the broom from dark brown yarn: I crocheted the shaft (regular chain), and the “sweeping” part was a pom-pom tassel. When sewing the broom to the boot, do not forget to thread it through the snowman’s “hand”.

Representing the starry sky, we baste the corresponding fabric to the top of the boot,

turn it over and trim the edges.

We scatter several “stars” of beads between “heaven and earth” - below the “starry sky”.

We decorate the second (back) part of the boot with “snow” and “starry sky.” Our snowman lives on one side.

We fold the two parts of the boot face outwards and sweep them away. We edge the edges with braid and don’t forget to sew a loop on top.

Advice: If you are edging the edges not with bias tape using a special foot for a sewing machine, but with braid, then do not be too lazy to baste the braid to avoid unstitched areas later.

For the boot, you can sew textile hearts, snowflakes or stars from leftover fabric. A wonderful handmade gift for Christmas and New Year is ready. It will not only create a festive mood for your gift, but will also convey a piece of your warmth to your loved ones and friends.

THESE ARE THE IDEAS I HAVE PICKED UP AND HAD TO MAKE IT MYSELF.

You can make a New Year's boot for gifts with your own hands in different ways. Get to know some of them and choose the most beautiful one. Socks for gifts are not as popular in Russia as in the West. However, we are increasingly using it not only for its intended purpose, but also simply as decoration.

We have selected for you three simple master classes on sewing a Christmas boot. The first is a simple decorative sock. The second one is denser and is suitable for gifts. The third is a boot made from a plastic bottle (you can put sweets or nice little things in it). Browse all and choose any. In the article you will also find the necessary patterns and stencils.

Patterns

A New Year's boot can be made from felt, fleece, as well as from quilted or any other dense fabric. Whatever you choose, you will need a pattern. Below are sock templates for Santa Claus (print them or just draw them).

Choose the template you need. You will need it for two of the three workshops offered below.

Method No. 1: decorative sock

This New Year's boot is not intended for gifts. It can be made single or double and certainly decorated with applique. A felt sock looks best. Fleece is softer, so you can additionally thicken it with cardboard or a double layer of fabric. You can also use velvet, velor, thick cotton fabric.

To decorate a New Year's boot, take felt, fleece, floss or yarn, beads, and ready-made patches.

We advise you to take a look at our “Stencils” section – in it you will find a selection of different templates with New Year’s characters. They will be useful to you for creating applications. You can simply print them out and cut them out first from paper and then from fabric. Or take it as a basis and just draw it.

Watch this simple video tutorial that clearly shows how to make a decorative Christmas stocking with your own hands.

Use it as a support and come up with your own design.

Here are some ideas for different DIY New Year's boots. Use them for inspiration or just repeat them.

Use acrylic paints and white thread to embroider and apply the design to the sock.

Place the two patterns together and make a decorative seam along the edge (mark in advance). Decorate the boot with pompoms.

Cut out several decorative elements from felt or fleece using templates and sew them to the outside of the Christmas stocking. Complete with beads, rhinestones and decorative buttons.

Make a sock pattern using an unwanted sweater or scarf. Decorate with Santa Claus made from a cotton pad, a piece of felt and a hat (use the same fabric for it). Don't forget to add white trim and sew on buttons. You can decorate the sock with embroidery.

These are just a few options, you can choose any of them. A decorative Christmas stocking doesn’t have to be made double – a single one will do just fine.

Any of these crafts can decorate a door, Christmas tree, windows, or simply hang on the walls on the eve of the New Year.

Method number 2: sock for gifts

The New Year's boot for gifts needs to be sewn thicker so that it is reliable. Use the patterns suggested above. Take them as a basis, but the sewing technique will be a little more complex than in the first master class.

Choose a suitable thick fabric (you can find interesting decorative options in the creativity departments). Choose a filler. Batting, thin padding polyester or even fleece will do.

We cut out two identical blanks for the New Year's sock according to the template. Also use these stencils to make two pieces for the lining (those from which you will sew the inside of the boot).

The filling can only be sewn to the front part of the sock, because the decor will be located on it.

Sew the loop right away. First, cut out a rectangular piece from the fabric, then fold the ends inward, iron and fold in half.

Fold the front of the sock and the filling together. Sew around 0.5 cm from the edge.

Place the lining piece with the right side facing you. Sew the loop, retreating approximately 2-3 cm from the edge on the heel side.

Then repeat the procedure for the second inner (the loop is sewn to it) and the second outer part of the sock. Place them with the right sides facing you, and then sew along the top (the seam should also be inside).

Take two blanks and straighten them so that the outer part (the part that will be visible when the sock is ready) is on the inside.

Sew the parts around the entire perimeter using a machine. Step back about 1 cm from the edge. Don't forget to leave a hole in the lining so that the sock can be turned inside out.

On the rounded parts of the toe (or around the entire perimeter), make small notches in the form of zigzags or triangles. This is necessary so that the inverted boot does not puff up due to the gathered fabric.

Turn out the New Year's stocking and mend the hole through which you did this. Then tuck the lining into the boot. There you go!

Decorate the resulting New Year's stocking with any stripes, appliqués or three-dimensional figures of Christmas characters - sew or glue them. Complete the craft with fur, pom-poms, sparkles, rhinestones and other decor.

Method number 3: boot from a plastic bottle

Instead of hanging Santa's boot from the fireplace or on the wall, you can simply place it under the tree. Place a gift or something delicious in it. In addition, this stable sock can be placed on a festive table and made into a vase, napkin holder or “hat” for forfeits.

We invite you to watch this simple video master class, in which the author talks in detail about how to make a New Year's shoe from a bottle with your own hands. Repeat the step-by-step process using the same materials. Everything is shown very clearly, so you definitely can’t go wrong.

We are sewing a New Year's boot for a gift!

2. We select scraps, fabrics and braids that match the New Year theme. This is what I found.

3. We arrange the flaps together in the order and color combination that pleases your eye. We sew them together and do not forget to iron each new seam. Let's check the pattern.

This is the kind of boot we get as a result of joining the flaps.

4. We select the fabric for the back side of the boot, it should also be beautiful. We fold the fabric and our boot face to face, put the pattern on top, pin everything together, trace the pattern with tailor’s chalk and cut it out with seam allowances of 0.7-1 cm. Then each We must glue the side of the boot with adhesive padding polyester or, if there is no adhesive padding, we can use adhesive web and regular padding polyester. Using an iron, we attach the adhesive padding polyester to the fabric so that it does not move.

Decorate the boot with braid

We place the finished parts facing each other and sew them together. Then we make notches with scissors in the corners and carve them on the heel and toe, and turn the boot right side out.
