If a small happiness has appeared in your home - your baby, then you should think about its proper development. A variety of toys, books, and specialized didactic material will help each mom in this. Modern children's stores offer a huge selection of various devices for babies. But their cost is sometimes very high. Do not be upset. After all, any mom can make do-it-yourself rugs.
Consider several different options. The manner of performance and the chosen motives will depend on the age of the baby and the duration of use of such a craft. To get started, visit the store and carefully consider the proposed developmental rugs for children. You can make any option you like with your own hands. You can sew a model that will serve you faithfully for several years.
Let's make DIY do-it-yourself rugs for the little ones. To do this, we need a dense fabric in two layers for the base, a synthetic winterizer or foam rubber for laying, one plastic hoop, many multi-colored shreds, decals and small soft toys.
For a start we sew a basis. To do this, we cut out the same details from the synthetic winterizer and the main fabric. We make a sandwich out of them and sew them, processing the edges in any way. You can sew the parts and unscrew them so that the seam is inside or treat the edge with lace, slanting inlay, a stitch on the overlock. Visually divide into several parts our developmental mat for children. With our own hands or with the help of a zigzag stitch, we sew various decorative elements in the form of animals, houses, cars, trees. The more various details there are, the longer your child will not lose interest in this craft.
The next step will be the manufacture of special arcs for hanging toys. You should consider fixing them so that you can easily disassemble the mat for transferring to another place or washing. To do this, cut the hoop into two semicircles. We cover each of them with fabric and make a synthetic winterizer layer. At the ends of the arcs and in the middle we sew laces or ribbons. On the rug itself, we also sew ribbons in each corner. With their help, our arcs will be attached to the base. Fold the parts from the hoop crosswise and tie the ribbons in the middle. We get the gate in the form of a cross. We put them on the mat and tie them in every corner. Sew several rings or plastic hooks to the arcs, on which we will hang various toys.
For toddlers, you can make developing rugs with your own hands and hang them on the wall or door in the room. In this case, the decorative details will be supplemented with pockets, locks, lacing, buttons and voluminous parts that are removed from the base of the mat. We select the main theme for the manufacture of the rug. It can be anything: seasons, the interior of the house, forest or pets. Depending on the chosen direction, we select decorative details. Consider the option in which the main theme is home and pets.
The base is made in the same way as in the previous case. We supplement it with wide loops in the upper part. We insert a piece of glazing bead or rail into them, to the ends of which we attach a cord, forming a loop for hanging on a carnation. From multi-colored rags we cut out the details of the house, windows, doors, roof, flowers, clouds, the sun. For animals, we use decal or cut them out of children's flaps. We make such details of the house as windows and doors as separate parts so that the baby can open them. Instead of a lock on the doors, we make a button with an eyelet. Window shutters are closed by lacing. Clouds, flowers and the sun are separate parts that are attached to the mat with Velcro. Place various animals around the mat and sew. Our product is ready.
There is nothing nicer than tinkering for your baby. After all, having sewed developing rugs with your own hands, you not only save the family budget, but also hone your sewing skills, which will be very useful for you in the manufacture of children's clothing.
