These are the decorative cushions-toys, made with their own hands for babies or their rooms. With them you can play and relax, and most importantly - no one will have such pillows!

It's easier to make your child a surprise if you sew a pillow-toy in the form of his favorite cartoon character. Fortunately, the patterns of pillow toys are not a problem. How about the amusing rabbit Krosh from the adored Smeshariki children?

We will need:

  1. The first step is to transfer the patterns shown below to the fabric. Remember, the smaller the cut, the more difficult it will be to sew a pillow. Beginners are advised to increase the size of the pattern by a factor of 1.5-2.
  2. Cut out the necessary details.
  3. We begin to stitch the body of the wedge parts. When the body is ready, proceed with the manufacture of ears, pens and legs of Krosh. Cut off excess tissue.
  4. It remains to fill all the details with a sintepon, giving them the necessary shape, and then sew them into place. Lovely Cartoon Krosh is ready!

As you can see, nothing is difficult in how to make a pillow-toy, no. Crafts of round, square and oval form do not require special skills. It is enough to find a pattern, cut out details, sew them, filling with a sintepon, cotton wool or felt.

Very original look pillows, toys, decorated with applique. The work is, of course, laborious, because all the seams are in sight, but the result is worth it. Soft and fluffy pillows, sewn from a plush or any other similar fabric in the form of amusing little animals, will make the child's room even more cozy and home-warm.

If you are planning to sew a toy for a small child, do not decorate it with small details, since a crumb during the game can accidentally tear off a bead or button, which is very dangerous!

In addition, pillow toys because of the increased interest of the child can quickly become dirty, so the materials from which you sew them must be subject to washing or cleaning . A great alternative to sintepon will be polyester balls. They will not only keep the shape of the pillow, but also help the child develop fine motor skills.

Fantasize and enjoy the work done!
