Christmas boot for gifts you can do it yourself different ways... Get to know some of them and choose the most beautiful one. Gift socks in Russia are not as popular as in the West. However, we are increasingly using it not only for its intended purpose, but also simply as a decor.
We have selected three simple master classes on sewing a Christmas boot. The first is a simple decorative sock. The second one is more dense, it is suitable for gifts. The third is a boot from a plastic bottle (you can put sweets in it or pleasant trifles). 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 sewn from felt, fleece, quilted or any other dense fabric. Whatever you choose, you will need a pattern. Below are the templates for socks for Santa Claus (print or just copy them).

Choose the template you want. You will need it for two of the three workshops below.
Method number 1: decorative sock
This Christmas boot is not for gifts. It can be made single or double and be sure to decorate with applique. A felt sock looks best. The fleece is softer, so you can additionally seal it with cardboard or a double layer of fabric. You can also use velvet, velor, dense cotton fabric.
To decorate a New Year's boot, take felt, fleece, floss threads or yarn, beads, ready-made stripes.
We advise you to look into our section "Stencils" - in it you will find a selection of different templates with New Year's heroes. They will come in handy for creating appliqués. They can be simply printed and cut out first from paper and then from fabric. Or take it as a basis and just sketch.
Watch this simple video master class, which clearly shows how to properly make a decorative Christmas sock with your own hands.
Use it as a support, and come up with your own design.
Here are some ideas for different DIY Christmas boots. Use them for inspiration or just repeat.
Use acrylics and white thread to embroider and pattern the sock.
Fold the two patterns together and make decorative seam along the edge (mark in advance). Decorate the boot with pompoms.
Cut from templates several decorative elements felt or fleece, sew on the outside of the Christmas sock. Complete with beads, rhinestones and decorative buttons.
Make a sock pattern using an unnecessary 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 make the white piping and sew on the buttons. You can decorate the sock with embroidery.
These are just a few options, you can choose any of them. A decorative Christmas sock does not have to be doubled - a single one will do just fine.
Any of these crafts can be used to decorate a door, a Christmas tree, windows, or simply hang on the walls on the eve of the New Year.
Method number 2: a sock for gifts
The New Year's boot for gifts needs to be sewn tighter so that it is reliable. Use the patterns suggested above. Take them as a basis, but the sewing technique will be a little more difficult than in the first master class.
Choose a suitable dense fabric (in the creative departments you can find interesting decorative options). Pick up your 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 lining pieces (those from which you will sew the inside of the boot).
The filler can only be sewn to the front of the sock, because the decor will be located on it.
Sew the loop immediately. First cut a rectangular piece out of the fabric, then wrap the ends inward, iron and fold in half.
Fold over the toe cap and padding. Sew about 0.5 cm from the edge.
Lay the lining part right-side up. Sew on the eyelet, stepping back about 2-3 cm from the edge on the side of the heel.
Then repeat the procedure for the second inner (a loop is sewn to it) and the second outer part of the sock. Fold them right over to you, and then sew along the top (the seam should also be inside).
Take two blanks and straighten them so that the outside (the part that will be visible when the sock is ready) is inside.
Sew the details around the entire perimeter on a typewriter. Step back about 1 cm from the edge. Remember to leave a hole in the lining so the sock can be turned out.
On the rounded parts of the sock (or around the entire perimeter), make small notches in the form of zigzags or triangles. This is necessary so that the turned-out boot does not puff up due to the gathered fabric.
Turn out your Christmas sock and mend the hole you made it through. Then tuck the lining into the boot. Now you're done!
Decorate the resulting New Year's sock with any patches, appliques or volumetric figures of Christmas characters - sew or glue them. Complete the craft with fur, pom-poms, sequins, rhinestones and other decor.
Method number 3: a boot from a plastic bottle
You don't have to hang Santa's boot from the fireplace or on the wall, but just put it under the tree. Put a gift or something tasty in it. In addition, this stable sock can be placed on festive table and make it a vase, napkin holder or "hat" for forfeits.
We suggest watching 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 his own hands. Repeat the step-by-step workflow using the same materials. Everything is shown very clearly, so you definitely won't be mistaken.

Should I buy ready-made new Year decoration for home, if many of them can be made by hand? It's exciting, very entertaining and interesting! Such creativity will definitely appeal to children. We offer one of the interesting Christmas crafts- Santa Claus boots created from plastic bottles.
To work you will need:
- plastic bottles at the rate of 1 bottle for 1 boot;
- fabric (remnants of fabric, artificial fur, felt, etc.);
- decoration (optional): Christmas ribbons, snow-covered cones, etc.;
- sewing kit: scissors, thread with a needle, ruler, etc .;
- hot glue.
Getting started:
1. Cut the plastic bottle into 3 pieces. A soda bottle like 7Up, Mountain Dew, etc. works best for the job.
2. On the cardboard, draw the base of the boot (feet), corresponding to the size of the bottle.
3. Wrap the fabric around the cutout bottom of the boot. Then get ready to wrap the plastic around in the cloth. For the front (toe): Measure the length from the bottom of the plastic to the edge to get the radius (measured length plus 2cm as a tolerance) for the circle enclosing the plastic.
3. Sew a circle with 1 cm running stitch. Then stitch along the edge of the fabric before pulling it over the plastic, pull tight to wrap the plastic in.
4. Move to the back of the boot (heel + ankle). We calculate right size(size = sock circle length * boot height length).
5. Wrap the plastic with the cut-out cloth.
Here is such a photo, although the colors are warm, and the associations are cool, just right for the summer that cleared up at the end of August)
Everyone knows about the sleds that need to be prepared in the summer, but few do. I promise to make Christmas decorations in advance every year. But the eternal student has settled in me so thoroughly that it seems that it will not be so easy to uproot him. Although, is it worth breaking nature? I think not, but you can dream, fantasize)
I was looking for an option for making a template for a shoe woven from newspapers, but I found such a boot of Santa Claus. Well, not only is it really useful as a template, it can be decorated as in this master class. So, maybe this year I will start preparing for the new year, as popular wisdom dictated. A New Year's show for the whole family can also be ordered in the summer. The festive agency with the colorful name "The Seventh Rainbow" knows a lot about organizing events. I once met New Year from a friend who presented this show to everyone present - unexpectedly, brightly, cheerfully, festively! Sometimes it is worthwhile to organize the holidays competently.
And the decor of the room is an indispensable attribute of any holiday, and even more so - of the New Year. This exhibition of boots looks great, doesn't it? The most interesting thing in this work is decorating ready-made shoes. It's a pleasure to compose a New Year's composition. Secured and line up in a slender row.
And it's not at all difficult to make them, if you carefully look at the master class from http://www.fabartdiy.com/.
When cutting a circle out of the fabric, make a 2 cm margin.
Each part of the shoe must be wrapped in a cloth, "put" it on the glue.
