Today I will share with you how to make beautiful decoration- a sprig of fabric strawberries.

Products self made are winning more and more people's sympathy. They are very beautiful, practical and of course exclusive. If you or your children are wearing handmade jewelry, they will definitely not go unnoticed.
What can I say if this product is made by you yourself. There is a reason for pride here. But the most interesting thing is that such products are easy to make at home, at minimal cost. The main desire.

To make strawberries from fabric we need:
1. Fabric, preferably velor
2. Satin or grosgrain ribbon 2.5 cm wide.
3. Moment Crystal glue or hot glue gun
4. Needle, thread, scissors
5. Wire
6. Tape for making letons or corrugated paper
7. and glass
8. Fittings for the middle
9. Beads for decorating strawberries.
So let's get started.
First we will make flowers. I will not describe the process of creating flowers, since it was described earlier in the lesson. You can watch the lesson and make petals and combine them into flowers - Flowers from satin ribbons master class. Round petal.

After the flowers are ready, we make a center for them. Take a piece of wire, thread a bead through it and twist it. Next (if there is one, we pass it through the rosette for the bead) and pull it through the middle of the flower.

The flowers are ready, let's move on to creating strawberries.
Take a piece of velor, cut out a circle with a diameter of 8 cm and cut it in half.

Fold one of the parts of the circle in half with the right side inward and sew it together at the cut.

Turn the strawberry right side out, stitch along the top edge with thread, then put any filling inside and tighten the thread.

We wrap a piece of wire with tape, insert it into the strawberry and sew up the top of the berry with thread.
Then we stitch the entire surface of the berry with beads, imitating the seeds. We put a rosette for the bead on the branch. The berry is ready.

Let's take care of the leaves.
Draw leaf templates on a sheet of paper. Next, we apply tape and a template to the glass, and we will cut out the leaves using a burner. If you don’t have a burner, you can cut the leaves from the tape and burn the edge on a candle, but you won’t be able to get a beautiful carved edge.
We prepare the letons - we wrap part of the wire with tape.

We collect leaves into twigs. We make mustaches.

All that remains is to assemble all the blanks into the composition. This is not difficult to do, since everything is located on wires.

DIY decoration - fabric strawberries are ready. Then it can be used as a brooch, hair tie, decoration for a headband, etc.

These little ones bright strawberries even beginners can sew. Sew a few of them, put them in a basket and they will enliven your interior and will remind you of the past summer for a long time)

To start, select a few scraps of bright, rich fabrics in shades of red and pink (I used American cotton for patchwork). If the fabric is smoothly dyed, you can bring the strawberry to life by embroidering a few grains using floss and simple stitches.

For leaves You will need pieces of green felt. If you don’t have felt, you can sew leaves from green fabric. This is a little more complicated, but the result will also be excellent.

For stuffing We use holofiber or synthetic fluff.

We also need scissors, a needle and thread in color, paper, a pencil, pins and sewing machine and skillful hands)...

We start by making a pattern. I tried a lot of options, so all my strawberries turned out different. But the basic option is to cut out a rectangle, for example, 6 by 7 cm. Bend it in half, then in half again to determine the middle. Let's draw bottom part berries in the form of a rounded cone. Cut it out. In the future, after sewing the first strawberry, you will understand where you want to add or subtract and you can adjust the pattern to your taste))

We take a suitable pink or red fabric, apply our pattern and cut it out, taking into account the seam allowances. I usually do 0.6 - 0.7 cm.

We go to the machine and make a stitch right along the outline of the pattern. At the beginning and end of the stitching we make securing stitches, making a couple of stitches back and forward again. We cut off the excess threads.

When turning the stitch, raise the presser foot, leaving the needle in the fabric, so the turns will be smoother, without displacement. I usually choose 1.5-2 mm stitch length. And the tension is 4.5.

Then we remove the pins and the pattern and make cuts with scissors along the outer edge of our strawberry, not reaching 2 mm to the seam, or simply trim off the excess with zig-zag scissors. Fold the top edge 0.7-1cm and iron it

We turn our strawberry inside out, take a thread and a needle and collect the needle along the upper edge with a simple seam forward. There is no need to grind, a stitch length of 0.5 cm will be enough. We do not cut the thread!!!

Then we fill our strawberry with what we have at hand - padding polyester, padding polyester, woolen sliver, hay, sawdust))) I’m kidding)) I prefer to stuff with holofiber balls and stuff it very tightly, usually helping myself with a Chinese sushi stick...

When you are sure that there is enough stuffing, tighten our thread and tie it with a strong knot. If you are planning to embroider your strawberry using floss, now is the time. And I'll skip this step and move on to the leaves. To do this you will need a piece of felt and floss for the loop. You can cut out the felt right away, or you can first make a paper pattern by cutting out leaves from a 5 by 5 cm square. I made a rope from floss, folded it in a loop and tied a knot at the end.

Master class on the topic: three-dimensional panel “Strawberry Sprig”.

Preface to the work:
In this master class, we will make a three-dimensional panel using different techniques. Thinking about what is better to choose for the panel - flowers or fruits, I wanted to combine two miracles of nature and settle on a strawberry branch.
Strawberries in Christianity are a symbol of perfect righteousness, humility of true virtue, a righteous person, the fruit of good deeds (the work of the spirit). The Madonna was sometimes depicted wearing a robe decorated with strawberry branches.
Strawberries are a perennial herbal plant that grows both wild and cultivated by gardeners. Strawberries have a juicy sweet taste and a unique bright aroma.
Structure of a strawberry bush:

The history of strawberries is as mysterious and beautiful as the berry itself. Excavations carried out by archaeologists prove the existence of strawberries even in the distant Neolithic times.
Even then, this fragrant berry grew widely in forests and served not only as a delicacy, but also protected people from accidental bites of poisonous snakes. It was thanks to strawberries that it was easier to notice a snake in thick grass, and trips to the forest became safer. The history of strawberries as a wild berry for making desserts developed in Italy, and the Spaniards were the first to cultivate strawberries.
Strawberries were also widely used in France, but not as a delicacy, but as one of the best medicines of those times, and in the 16th and 17th centuries the history of strawberries took a new turn - gardeners European countries began selection work and were able to obtain new, most aromatic, rich-tasting varieties.
Undoubtedly, the benefits of strawberries are undeniable, as confirmed by many historical facts that have survived to this day. So what are the benefits of strawberries? Well, of course, in its many medicinal properties!
Strawberries are a rich source of vitamin C. 100 grams of strawberries contain more than the daily requirement. In terms of vitamin C content, strawberries are second only to black currants. Five medium-sized berries contain as much vitamin C as one large orange. And there is more folic acid in strawberries than in raspberries and grapes. If you eat these berries every day, the immune system and the walls of blood vessels are strengthened.
Fragrant, juicy strawberries are a wonderful summer treat. This berry comes from America, but now a large number of Its varieties are cultivated all over the world. Strawberries can be prepared in many different ways, they are wonderful on their own or in jams, desserts or baked goods.
Strawberries have powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Therefore, for a sick stomach, it is prescribed as a medicine. The antimicrobial properties of strawberries are used to treat inflammatory diseases of the nasopharynx and eliminate bad smell from mouth. Strawberries suppress the development of the influenza virus. The presence of iodine in its composition compensates for its deficiency in everyday food and drinking water. Strawberries have a sugar-lowering effect. Therefore, it is included in the diet of patients diabetes mellitus. Taking 4-6 tablespoons of fresh strawberry juice on an empty stomach helps with gallstone disease.
For kidney and urinary tract diseases, it is recommended to consume strawberries throughout the season. It is better to eat at least 400 grams every day. For all kidney ailments, you should drink a decoction of strawberry roots. Strawberries are a natural diuretic and have a calming effect on the liver. Therefore, for rheumatism and liver diseases, it is recommended to use a strawberry diet. For a week you need to eat 1.5 kilograms of berries every day. Salicylic acid, which is contained in the berry, also helps with joint pain. Strawberries help replenish iron deficiency due to anemia. This, among other things, is also tested folk remedy in the treatment of eczema, diathesis, skin rashes, small wounds. You just need to apply strawberry pulp to the sore spot. Strawberries and a decoction of its leaves normalize metabolism and blood pressure, and relieve insomnia. Strawberry - excellent prophylactic from diseases such as atherosclerosis and hypertension.
Strawberries are a berry rich in antioxidants, vitamins, flavonoids and therefore simply irreplaceable for building immunity and maintaining health. Strawberries, the benefits and harms of which have been discussed for centuries, are able to maintain their beneficial features and frozen, and even with some types of processing. The benefits of frozen strawberries are almost the same as fresh berries just picked from the garden. Frozen strawberries are good for the whole body at any time of the year, even on cold winter evenings, when you can only remember summer when looking at bright photographs.
This beautiful and beloved berry can bring pleasure and taste, restore health lost over the years and prolong the youth of the whole organism.
For our work we need the following materials and equipment:
1. cotton wool;
2. wire;
3. yellow cotton threads, white;
4. nylon tights
5. semolina;
6. red and yellow gouache;
7. green napkins or wrapping paper for leaves;
8. PVA glue;
9. scissors;
10. tape;
11. glue brush;
12. Paper tubes;
13. Spray paint (black, bronze).

Safety precautions when working with scissors:
- store the scissors in a certain place (in a case, box);
- do not hold the scissors with the sharp ends up, do not bend low towards them;
- pass the scissors in rings to the person;
- place the scissors on the table so that they do not protrude beyond the edge of the table;
- when working, carefully monitor the cut line;
- do not use dull scissors or loose fasteners;
Safety precautions when working with glue:
- glue is a dangerous chemical. Care must be taken when working with it;
- when working with glue, use a brush;
- If glue gets on your skin or eyes, rinse them with water. If necessary, consult a doctor;
- after finishing work, wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
Rules of the working man.
- before you start work, prepare your workplace;
- keep the workplace clean and tidy;
- take care of tools, save materials;
- always think about how to do the job better;
- work together - the main rule of a working person;
- finished work, clean the workplace quickly and neatly.

Sequence of work:

1. Cut the wire to the required length and cover it with tape.

2. Bend the edge of the wire (twig) in the form of a hook and, clamping a piece of cotton wool (the volume of cotton wool depends on the size of the strawberry), forming a strawberry.

3. Coat the surface of the strawberry with PVA glue, finally correcting the shape of the berry.

4. Sprinkle the surface of the berry with semolina over the wet glue and let it dry.

5.After drying, paint the berry with red gouache. Then we draw the dots with yellow gouache (you can use a toothpick for this).

6. Cut out the sepals and leaves using templates. For this, these parts can be used different materials(napkins, wrapping paper for flowers or green gelatin-treated fabric).

7. We give the sepals a shape (you can use a loaf).

8. To form the branches, I laid out the leaves on auxiliary paper (I used mica) and laid out the veins, a twig of green wire, and covered it with another leaf on top, combining all the cuts. I painted everything with PVA glue. After some time, still damp, I carefully separated them from the mica and transferred them to a dry place for final drying (it dries naturally).

9. Let's start making flowers. We start with the stamens. To do this, we pass a needle with a yellow thread through a tube of PVA glue (for the strength and shape of the stamen). We remove the needle and wind a thread soaked in glue onto an auxiliary tube (the number of threads depends on the size of the flower).

10.Cut the thread and carefully remove the wound threads from the tube. We fix the wire in the center and twist it tightly. Using scissors, we cut along the fold of the threads and, forming a stamen, distribute them evenly.

11.Flower petals can be made different ways. For example: from fabric treated with gelatin or using wire and nylon. I like the second method - from nylon. The wire was covered with white nylon, secured with thread.

12.Form a flower. We gradually attach the petals to the finished stamen using a thread (there should be five of them). We use tape to cover the branch with the flower.

Small, funny, juicy and almost real strawberries, sewn from felt, can easily become an element of kitchen decor, decoration festive table, keychain or toy food for a child. Sewing these strawberries is not at all difficult, but you will need the following materials:
- Red and green felt.
- Filler (sintipon or halofiber).
- White threads.
- A sheet of paper for the pattern.

Draw a pattern on a piece of paper. Its size depends on what kind of strawberries you want - large or small. On one side of the semicircle you need to make a small cut, as shown in the photo.

Attach the pattern to the red felt and cut out the pieces for the strawberries. Cut out future leaves of any shape from green felt.
Sew three mini cones from red felt, leaving them open. Then each of them must be filled with halofiber. Quilt the upper part along the contour and immediately pull it off so that you get a product that resembles the shape of a strawberry. Using white thread, sew the strawberry so that dots appear on its surface, which give it a natural look.

Using green thread, sew the leaves to the strawberries. If you want to make a keychain or pendant, you need to sew it to the leaves satin ribbon or braid in the form of a loop.

Continuing the topic of food started last time, in which we prepared delicious preparations for, today I would like to treat you all to a fragrant, ripe berry, rich in vitamins and antioxidants. These are felt strawberries, friends.

You know, I believe that if you surround yourself with something bright, juicy and highly fortified in winter, then viruses will be afraid to get close to you and you won’t want to get sick. Of course, this is partly a joke. But we will still make strawberries.

Felt strawberries. We get our vitamins while playing

Felt strawberries, sewn using this pattern and this master class, can organically fit into your child’s toy food set or become the main decoration for a headband, hairpin or some other hair decoration. It can also become an original keychain for keys or even a phone.

And also to me Lately I really like the idea of decorating the kitchen space with beautiful glass jars with different fillings. Why not put 7-8 juicy strawberries in one of these jars?

But before these amazing transformations are possible, we need to do two important things - collect what we need for the job and make sure we have a suitable pattern.

Felt strawberry pattern and list of materials for work

To make it you will need the following list of materials:

green and red felt
white, red and green threads
white beads
padding polyester
glue gun

As usual, I use hard felt, 1 mm thick. This time, instead of floss, I decided to take the simplest sewing threads. The beads are also the most common ones, made in China.

You can take my pattern for felt strawberries. It is located at this address. After printing, cut out the berry part and the sepal part. We sew white beads onto the berry detail in a checkerboard pattern.

This is what a beaded strawberry pattern piece made of felt looks like

The next step is to join the strawberry pattern piece into a cone. To do this, fold it in half (with the beads inward) and sew it along the straight edge with overcast stitches over the edge. Having reached the edge, we perform a tack, but do not break the thread.

We turn the part inside out, straighten the seam and carefully decorate the corner. As mentioned earlier, we do not break the thread. We use it to sew the berry detail along the entire perimeter of the upper round cut with straight stitches and tighten the thread.

We stuff the part with a small amount of padding polyester, pull the thread to the end, fasten it and cut the thread.

We only have a little left. Decorate the sepals. To do this, we sew the sepal part along the edge using overlock stitches. Pay special attention to the corners. They must be worked out with special care.

After the sepal is finally formed, we simply glue it to the shikora part of the berry.

I think it turned out well! Having sewn a dozen or two of these berries, you can safely fill a wicker basket with them or give all this wealth to your baby. Let him treat all his friends in the yard to a freshly harvested, and most importantly, healthy harvest.

Sweet, bright and juicy strawberry! Such berries will not leave anyone indifferent!

And if, before gluing the sepal, you make a small hole in the center of it and insert a small loop of cord, then such a berry can be safely attached to something as a pendant or keychain.

In my opinion, the idea with toy berries is much more interesting. Although... perhaps you will have even more interesting thoughts and decide to adapt your felt strawberry harvest for completely different purposes.

I wish you creative success and a great mood!
