Textile picture for a nursery

Decorating a child’s room with a variety of small things is always nice. Moreover, it is simply necessary. After all, maintaining the coziness, comfort and good atmosphere in the house is the task of all its residents. It is good when children, on a par with their parents, take part in the improvement of their “personal zone”. Such actions teach children not only to protect things, but also to create them themselves.
One of the common areas of man-made creativity with children is the creation of paintings or simple wall applications from various materials.
This composition is this funny family of felt owls.

It will be easy to make it even for younger schoolchildren, and without adult accompaniment. And to prepare for this you need the following:
• light fabric to create a background (it is better to use a stretch, it will fit hard plywood well and will not contribute to the formation of folds in the corners);
• gray or brown felt for tailoring owls and twigs;
• green fabric for foliage;
• two buttons of the same color and structure (it is better to take the same shade as the material of the branch itself, be sure to have one large and one small);
• white fabric for the eyes and tummies of birds;
• threads for embroidery (pink, white, gray, green);
• two thin multi-colored satin ribbons;
• red or burgundy beads;
• needle for sewing, scissors.

You will also need any frame with a rigid base, a sheet of paper and a pencil to create a sketch, contact polymer glue, plus a black marker or felt-tip pen.

Draw all the details on paper and carefully cut each one out.

Transfer the outlines of owls and branches to felt, as well as leaflets and all white blanks (eyes, tummies) on prepared fabrics.

Divide the leaves in half with green thread with an even stitch; in the same way, sew the branch with light gray yarn.


Then glue all the necessary details onto the gray bird blanks and draw eyes.


But the cheeks and beak should already be embroidered.


When the main parts are ready, tackle the hard base.


Now glue all the objects on the front side of the picture one by one and sew the buttons with thread.


Later they also have to be glued, but first you need to create thin branches, at the ends of which these buttons will be placed.


The last are the bows and berries from the beads. For gluing such small parts it is better to take tweezers.


It remains to put the picture in the frame and the picture is ready!

Not only children, but also adults will admire such beauty for a long time!
