With Christmas just around the corner, there’s no time to waste. And it is that, the sooner we have the preparations, the more we will enjoy these holidays as a family. Dinners, gifts, plans with friends and of course the. We propose a few ideas for Christmas decorations to crochet or with Eva rubber, so simple and fun that even the little ones in the house can participate. There are Santa Claus, ball, tree, star… you will be surprised with these creative crafts!
Simple and original crochet Christmas decorations
Crochet Christmas decorations knitted with a crochet and a needle look incredible, especially when it comes to decorating the house for Christmas. But first of all you have to know how to read the patterns of each specific figure, as well as the basic points. Therefore, it is better that you count the points of each round to make sure that you have not done one more, nor less, since in these cases it will be necessary to undo and start over.
Also remember that it is important not to press the stitch too much so that it is not difficult for you to pass the needle when you are going to add details such as the eyes, hair or eyebrows. And, as in any self-respecting Christmas, what is indicated is that before starting prepare all the necessary materials, such as, for example, the balls in the different colors that you are going to use, each one of them in the appropriate thickness (if possible of quality so that it does not fray) and the special needle for this type of sewing.
In the case of stuffed figures, they are very beautiful but it is true that they are somewhat more laborious to make, we recommend you choose synthetic fiber, 100% polyester flock or wadding, which are the ones that work best with works. It will not cost you anything to find these materials in your usual sewing store.
Now yes! Now we can start with the crochet decorations for Christmas!
Star-shaped crochet embellishment
As we told you before, the first thing of all is going to be to define the pattern, it is important not to be in a hurry to start sewing. If we want to do it well and obtain an ornament to our liking, we must go step by Step. Crochet can be made in many shapes and colors depending on whether they are going to be placed on the tree, on the front door or as an ornament on the table. You can create as many as you want, even in different sizes and shades, always following the patterns. Once you have them ready, place a ribbon on top, it turned out great!
Crochet Santa Claus
If you are very skilled with this crochet thing, you can create Santa completely, but if you make the head, with the beard included, it will be more than enough. Take a good look because in this case you are going to need the characteristic colors of Santa Claus as well as balls of different thicknesses depending on whether it is the beard, the hat or the details of the face. In this case it would also be necessary to put some padding to make it more realistic.
Christmas crochet gifts
And if we make some colored packets with a bow included? As if it were a gift only made with your own hands. One in red, another in gold, the next in a beautiful green color and so on until you has several to later put them at the foot of the tree. Although it would also be an excellent idea decorate or as a gift for colleagues for Christmas.
Crochet Christmas ball figures
And just as we have done with gifts. With the pattern on the table and the balls and the needle ready, we will make the stitch with an oval shape. Before closing the ball completely we will have to put the filling so that it has its characteristic round shape. Isn’t it a fabulous idea to decorate the house for Christmas?
A small crochet Christmas tree
Design your crochet in green, you don’t need to fill it, it can be a flat figure without more, and add some beautiful white details on the edge as if it were snow. If you want to go one step further, add a few stitches in red in the center of the tree to simulate the gifts.
Handmade Eva rubber Christmas decorations
Eva rubber is also another excellent resource, easy to find and also to use, with which to give our Christmas decorations some life. As we have commented in the previous case, the best thing to do is that you choose first of all which are going to be the figures that you are going to create and that you have all the material at hand. If you follow these basic instructions and let yourself be guided step by step, you will have the best Christmas decoration with Eva foam that you can imagine.
These types of handmade Christmas decorations with just a few materials look great on the tree. But if you prefer, you can also place them on the shelf at home, on the table or even on to surprise all the guests and neighbors with your creativity.
Snowflakes with Eva rubber as a Christmas decoration
Prepare your template with a snowflake on cardboard and cut it out. Then place then the Eva foam and cut out. It will be easier if you do it with a cutter, but be careful if children are helping you. Now comes the most interesting thing: painting them! With watercolors of different colors, embellished with white glitter… let your imagination run wild!
Large tree to put on the wall
With Eva rubber you can make Christmas ornaments and decorations as incredible as this one. We are going to design a large tree Choose a wide space to work, place the eva foam on it, draw in pencil the silhouette of the typical Christmas tree with the trunk included and cut with scissors. Once you have done this, the next thing we will do is put the decorations also with Eva rubber: square-shaped gifts, colored balls, glitter… we can even make a pocket to store some sweets inside. You only need to place it with the help of adhesive tape on the wall.
Christmas sticks
Do you dare with some Eva rubber Christmas sticks? They will look very pretty hanging on the Christmas tree! Prepare the figure of a typical white and red Eva rubber cane and put a base to hold it. Cut out and place in the chosen place. If it’s easier for you, just do it in white Eva rubber and then draw the lines in red with some paint.
Eva rubber Christmas balls
Before we have crocheted them, now it’s with Eva rubber! You can create them with different colors and sizes to your liking. It is as easy as drawing a sphere with a compass, as well as a small square at the top to simulate the metal part of the Christmas balls, cut them out, decorate them as you prefer (colors, glitter, with a smile, embossed ) and put them on the tree, or wherever you like!
