New Year is already around the corner! Do you feel the spirit of magic and emerging miracles in the air?))
By the way, you yourself can take part in creating a miracle - sew your own Santa Claus for the New Year tree!
After all, every child and even adults secretly expect that when the clock strikes, a good wizard will bring a bag of gifts and a whole armful of happiness))
So, for work we will need the following materials and tools:
1. Prepare the pattern. First, we determine the diameter of the bottom of the cone and its desired height and, based on this, we build a scan in any convenient way. Calculation formulas and construction methods are easy to find on the Internet. We draw the pattern of the hands randomly.

2. Cut out a circle from thick cardboard, draw a line through its center, which we divide into three equal segments. At their joints we cut holes for the wire. We apply a padding polyester circle and a circle of colored fabric of a slightly larger diameter. We tighten the fabric around the cardboard.
3. Bend the thick wire in a U-shape and pierce it through the holes in the cardboard, padding polyester and fabric. We bend the ends of the wire at the “ankles” and make “feet”. We screw a thin copper wire to the jumper with a length longer than the height of the cone, about 10 centimeters.
4. Important! Carefully glue the wire to the cardboard with hot glue and glue the wire joint. At this stage, the structure should be well balanced and stable, the cardboard should not fall down the wire!
Legs for Santa Claus
5. From colored fabric, cut out two rectangles approximately one and a half times longer than the length of the legs and about 4 centimeters wide. Fold it in half lengthwise, stitch it, turn it inside out. We stretch it over the legs and sew it to the bottom with a hidden seam.
6. Cut out a cone shape from cotton fabric for the body. Fold it in half and stitch along the edge, leaving the last couple of millimeters at the top unsewn. We bend the edge around the circumference and baste. Turn the resulting cone out of the fabric.
Body of Santa Claus
7. We put the cone on a thin wire, bringing its free end through the hole at the top. We stuff the body with holofiber. Make sure that while stuffing the wire remains approximately in the center of the cone. We sew the folded edge of the body around the circumference to the bottom using a hidden seam.
8. Cut out the soles from cardboard. Draw them arbitrarily, the main thing is that it is a little longer at the back and front than the wire loops. We glue the soles to the wire with hot glue, ensuring their stability.
9. Using scissors and a utility knife, cut out the “boots” from foam rubber. We cut a recess at the bottom for the wire and cut a slot at the back in order to insert the “ankles” into it. What is more important here is not accuracy, but the symmetry of the “boots”. We glue the foam rubber with hot glue.
10. Cut out two ovals from red fleece of such a size that it is enough to cover the foam rubber “boots” with a small margin. At one of the elongated vertices of the oval, we cut out a sector in the form of a triangle, put the fleece on the foam rubber, sew up the back with a hidden seam and tighten the fleece around the cardboard sole.
11. We also cut out two ovals from felt of a suitable color, slightly larger than the cardboard sole. We glue the felt to the sole with hot glue, trim off the excess, and sew the felt to the fleece with a hidden seam.

12.Draw approximate lines for the top of the jacket and the bottom of the cap on the body. There will be a face between them. We cut out a small circle from the fabric, put a ball of padding polyester inside, and tighten it along the edge. This creates a nose that needs to be sewn onto the face with a hidden seam.
13. Prime the face with white acrylic paint. We try not to go too far into the territory of future beards and hair, so that in the future there will be no difficulties with their fitting. What kind of face to draw is a matter of your taste and imagination.

14. We cut out a jacket in the shape of a truncated cone from red fleece, fold it in half, sew along the edges, turn it inside out. We sew handles in mittens from fleece and colored fabric, leaving holes for stuffing, turn it inside out, stuff it, sew up the holes with a blind seam.
15. Stretch the jacket over the body, sew it at the bottom and along the neckline with a hidden seam. Temporarily pin the handles to evenly distribute the applique. We cut out the parts from felt, pin them to the body, and finally think through the placement of the composition.
16. We first fix the applique parts to the fleece with a drop of Moment glue so that they do not move, and only then sew them on. If desired, we use buttons, beads, beads, and decorative elements. We sew “snowdrift” ribbons made of white fleece with hidden seams.

17. Cut out the boot cuffs and cuffs from white fleece, fold them in half, and sew along the edges. We stretch it over the arms and legs and sew it on by hand.
18. Using the same principle, we cut out and sew on the collar. To maintain the “snowdrift” style, the edge of the collar, cuffs, boot cuffs and cap can be made wavy.
19.Sew the arms to the body with a strong thread using a button fastening. We tighten the thread a little, tie a knot and glue it with Moment glue for strength.
20. We tear off about 10 centimeters of wool from the combed tape, collect it into a bundle of the required thickness and carefully roll it with a felting needle, like a beard. Then we tear off a tuft of wool, 2 times thinner and about 20 centimeters long, and roll it in the middle under the nose, like a mustache.
21.Tear off two more tufts of wool, equal in length and thickness to the beard, and roll them on both sides of the face. Using the back of a felting needle, carefully comb and arrange the wool into a full beard.

22.We also roll and shape the hair on the sides and back of the head. If necessary, you can trim it a little with scissors and spray it with regular hairspray to prevent the fur from frizz.
Hair for Santa Claus
23. Based on half of the cone, we cut out a cap that is very elongated and narrowed towards the top from colored fabric. The height of the cap should correspond to the length of the free end of the wire plus 1-2 centimeters for freedom of bending. We sew the parts, leaving the top open.
Hat for Santa Claus
24. We turn the cap inside out, put it on the head, bringing the wire through the top hole, and sew it along the edge to the head. Bend the end of the wire into a loop. We sew on a white fleece lapel and a pompom, hiding the end of the wire in it.
24. Santa Claus is almost ready. If necessary, we add decor to complete the look. If you want, you can additionally sew a bag with gifts, a Christmas tree or, for example, a symbol of the year in a pair.
Santa Claus is ready! More real miracles for you!
Would you like to invite your favorite children's fairy tale character to your home? Then see how to make Santa Claus with your own hands. Let this tiny old man in a red fur coat and with a white beard give joy throughout the winter holidays and, of course, promise good luck in the new year.
And if making a fleece Santa Claus seems very difficult to you, involve your mother, friend or classmates in an interesting activity. Separating the processes of creating a toy will make the work quick and entertaining, and maybe very soon a little wizard will also live under the Christmas tree in your classroom.
To make Santa Claus you will need:
1. First, make a Santa Claus pattern on paper. Choose the sizes at your discretion, but remember that they must match each other. The required cone pattern is easy to find on the Internet.
2. Cut out a circle from thick cardboard. Divide the diameter of the circle into three equal parts. Cut holes for the wire (Santa Claus's legs) at the joints.
Place a synthetic padding circle on a cardboard one and wrap them with a slightly larger fabric one. Pull the fabric around the cardboard circle using a thread and a needle.
3. Pierce the circle with a U-shaped thick wire, make feet. Screw a thin copper wire to the thick tin wire, as shown in the photo. Let it be 10 centimeters longer than the height of the cone.
4. Carefully glue the junction of the wires and cardboard with hot glue. The figure should be stable and even. The cardboard should not fall down.
5. From some interesting and bright fabric (preferably red), cut out two rectangles, one and a half times longer than Santa Claus’s legs, and about 4 cm wide. Fold the stitching in half on the wrong side. Turn it inside out, put it on the legs, sew it to the fabric circle.
6. Cut out a cone from cotton fabric, fold it in half and sew, leaving a few millimeters at the top unsewn. Fold the edges around the circumference and baste. Turn out the cone.
7. Sew the cone to the circle with a hidden seam, threading copper wire through the top and stuffing it with holofiber. While stuffing, make sure that the wire remains approximately in the middle of the toy.
8. Cut out the soles from cardboard. Glue it with hot glue. Let the soles be slightly longer than the wire loops. In this case they will be more stable.
9. From foam rubber, cut out boots for Grandfather Frost with a recess at the bottom for wire and a slit at the back. Focus on the photo.
10. Using fleece ovals, cover the boots. Tie the fabric from the bottom with thread.
11. Sew felt soles to the boots, gluing the felt to the bottom of the boots. Trim off excess fabric.
12. Mark on the cone the boundaries of the face, cap and fur coat of Santa Claus. Sew a nose from a pulled circle of fabric and a piece of padding polyester to the face.
13. Well done! Now you need to lightly cover the toy’s face with white paint and draw the eyes, cheeks and mouth.
14. Make a fur coat pattern (truncated cone) from red fleece. Fold it in half, sew along the edge and turn it inside out. Using a paper template, sew handles with red fleece and colored fabric mittens, leaving an opening for stuffing. Turn it inside out, fill it with holofiber, sew up the hole with a hidden seam.
15. Dress the wizard in his fur coat, sewing it around the neck and bottom with a hidden seam. Cut out houses, Christmas trees, mushrooms from multi-colored felt and attach them to the jacket with pins. Try on the handles for Santa Claus and see if the applique is distributed correctly.
16. Glue the applique elements with drops of Moment glue and only then sew on with bright threads. Decorate the fur coat with buttons, beads, beads and sew snowdrifts of white fleece with a hidden seam.
17. Now is the time to make the cuffs and cuffs of the boots. Cut them out of white fleece, sew them, fold them in half and put them on the arms and legs. Sew it on.
18. Cut a wavy collar from white fleece and sew it with a hidden seam.
19. Having threaded a strong thread through the base of the handle and the button, tightly sew the sleeves of the fur coat to the body. Tie a knot and secure it with glue.
20. Separate part of the wool (about 10 cm) for the beard and use a felting needle to attach it to the “chin”. Then take a bunch that is a little thinner, 20 centimeters long, and begin to roll up the mustache.
21. Take two more thick tufts of wool and lay them on both sides of your face. Like this:
22. Gently comb and style your beard. In the same way, roll Santa's hair, comb it and trim it with scissors.
23. Let's move on to making the cap. Using colored fabric based on half of the cone template, cut out a long narrow cap. Its length should be 2 cm longer than the free end of the copper wire that you inserted into the toy before.
24. Unscrew the cap and sew it to Santa Claus’s head. Twist the wire in the middle of the cap into a spiral and make a loop at the end (there will be a pompom on it). Now make a white fleece lapel, a pompom stuffed with holofiber, and sew them to the hat.
25. Complete the look with a small green Christmas tree with buttons on the cap and, if desired, small green pompoms on the shoes.
Hooray! Santa Claus is ready to charm the eyes of your loved ones and give an unforgettable feeling of the holiday.
