Gingerbread from fabric patterns are all. Gingerbread men

In the west, there is a wonderful Christmas tradition - baking gingerbread, often they also serve as a decoration for the Christmas tree. And we will try gingerbread for the Christmas tree…. sew! Such gingerbread cookies will never become stale and will not deteriorate. You can decorate a green beauty with them for more than one year. In addition, (which is obvious) they do not fight and are not afraid even of hyperactive space explorers: small children and pets.

Ingredients for textile gingerbread can be found in any home:
1) Fabric (white calico). It is not necessary to run to the store for fabric, you can use a white sheet.
2) White sewing thread
3) Filler: synthetic winterizer or synthetic winterizer. Cotton wool or scraps of fabric are fine.
4) PVA glue
5) Instant coffee
6) Ground cinnamon
7) Acrylic paints (I have glossy Decola, but any other acrylic is perfect): white, red, green or any of your favorite colors
8) Strong thick thread (for example, "Iris" for crocheting).
9) Brushes (thin and thick)

Print the pattern and enlarge to A4 paper size:

As you can see, we have here not only gingerbread men, but a Christmas tree, a house and a heart. You can dream up and come up with something of your own, but you can also learn from the example of ready-made forms: gingerbread boy and girl.

We transfer the contours of the figures to the fabric, not forgetting that you need to leave allowances for the seams. 3-5 mm. from all sides.

Then we take in our hands a needle with thread and basting stitches we sew our little men along the contour:

Then they can be cut out, it will turn out neatly, and the details will not move.

Next, you need to sew the parts together finally. If you have a sewing machine, you can use it. If not, this is not a reason to abandon the idea. The height of the figures is only 10 cm, it will not be difficult to sew them by hand. Remember to leave a small hole in the side for stuffing.

After the little men are stitched, they must be carefully turned onto the front side. To make the seams look neat, do the following: in those places where the angle of curvature of the contour is 90 degrees or less, make small cuts, a little short of the seam.

Now you can turn it out.

We stuff the future gingerbread through the hole left in the side. You need to stuff it quite tightly so that the fabric does not deform during subsequent painting.

Sew up the hole with small stitches. We remember a little the toy in our hands so that the stuffing is evenly distributed.

These are the beauties we got.

It's time to make ruddy gingerbread from this pale dough. Let's prepare a mixture for painting. Mix until a homogeneous mass two teaspoons of coffee, one teaspoon of cinnamon, a third of a glass of water and a tablespoon of PVA glue.

Using a brush, apply the mixture to one side of the figures.

Place them in a heat-resistant dish and put them in the microwave or oven. Gingerbread should be baked, what did you think? Figures dry in the microwave for 6 minutes at a power of 500W. You should not set a higher temperature, as the filler may start to burn and nothing remains of the pleasant gingerbread smell. When drying in the oven, it is worth adhering to the same principle: it is preferable to dry the toy a little longer at medium temperature than burning it in three minutes at the highest.

After one side is dry, you can paint the other.

And here they are, our ruddy and very fragrant gingerbread!

Festive gingerbread cookies are usually decorated with white or multi-colored icing. Well, we will not break the tradition. We take a thin brush in our hands and turn on the imagination!

White jewelry is, of course, good ... But something is missing. Colors!

Small red and green dots are very lively and create a sense of conviviality.

Well, the gingerbread cookies are completely ready, but we seem to have already forgotten that we were going to decorate the Christmas tree with them! Let's make the loops. They are done very simply: a thick thread is threaded, no matter how awful it may sound, through the man's head, its ends are tied in a knot.

So our gingerbread family is ready, along with real estate! There is a mustachioed retired general, and his fashionista wife in bows, and their grown children, and a house, and a decorated Christmas tree, and, of course, a heart as a symbol of home comfort and love. All of them will undoubtedly bring a little more warmth and a sense of celebration to your home.

The gingerbread man is one of the symbols of Christmas in Europe and America. Cookies in the form of a funny man are baked for a holiday and painted with colored icing or chocolate. In recent years, such people have appeared here. And I propose to sew a Christmas tree toy in the form of an elegant gingerbread man.

To make the "Gingerbread Man" toy, we need:

• - beige or light brown felt;
• - red felt;
• - synthetic winterizer;
• - white braid "bindweed";
• - Red ribbon;
• - golden braid;
• - red braid with snowflakes or just red;
• - white braid, consisting of flowers or snowflakes;
• - threads of red, black, beige and white colors;
• - scissors;
• - black beads;
• - a needle.

Operating procedure

1. Let's draw a gingerbread man figurine on paper. Let's cut out the figure and draw pants for the little man on it. We will cut them out too. A pattern for a toy, consisting of two parts, is ready.

2. Place the figure of the little man on the beige felt, circle it and cut it out. In total, we need two such figures.

3. Now we will transfer the pattern of the panties to the red felt. You will need two such parts.

4. Take one beige detail of the figure of a man and sew bead eyes to it.

5. Embroider the mouth with red thread.

6. Sew a figure of a man from two pieces with beige threads. We will sew them with small neat stitches of a buttonhole seam. It is not necessary to sew up to the end, it is necessary to leave an unsewn area on the side, through which we can fill the figure.

7. Fill the figurine with a synthetic winterizer, pushing the synthetic winterizer with a pencil or a stick first into the man's head, then into the arms and legs, and only then into the body.

8. Sew the unfinished area on the figure with beige threads.

9. Take the details of the pants, cut out of red felt, attach one detail to the front of the figure, and attach the second from the back. Sew the side and inner seams on the pants. For stitching, we need red threads.

10. Take the red ribbon with snowflakes and cut two pieces about 9 cm long each. We need these segments in order to make shoulder straps on the panties.

11. Sew the straps to the panties.

12. Cut off two flowers from the white braid and sew them to the front of the pants. If there is no such braid, you can sew on two small buttons of white or any other color.

13. Take four small pieces of braid "bindweed", wrap each piece of the little man's legs and arms and sew them with white threads. This tape will create the effect of a painted sugar glaze.

14. Fold a piece of red ribbon with the edges to the middle and sew, pulling the middle with a red thread - we get a festive bow tie for the little man.

15. Sew the butterfly to the figure. Now our little man looks even more elegant.

16. Each Christmas tree toy should have a loop. For our toy, we will make a loop from a piece of golden braid about 21 cm long.

17. Fold the prepared piece of tape in half and sew to the back of the figure. Sew a flower on top, cut off from the white braid, then the toy will look neater.

18. This is how a toy gingerbread man looks from the front.

The Christmas tree toy "Gingerbread Man" is ready, it will look good on the Christmas tree. You can also make a gingerbread man as a girl - for this, you need to sew not pants, but a sundress or a skirt to the figure. A toy gingerbread man will also be a good unusual addition to a Christmas present.

Any felt products can only be washed by hand at a temperature of 30 degrees. Before washing, the craft must be cleaned of dust with a dry brush. Wash the felt with household or baby soap. The material is not twisted, but dried under natural conditions.

To work with sheets, you need stationery:
