Usually, when they talk about a hot water bottle for a teapot, they remember a "woman" - a rag doll with a fluffy skirt, under which a teapot is hidden. However, anyone who wants to spend a little time can independently make a heating pad of any shape - it can be a doll, sweater, hat, bouquet of flowers, some kind of animal, etc. Imagine!
It is necessary
Hook, thread, scheme, fabric, pattern, insulation
Instructions
Step 1
If you have no experience and have never held a crochet hook in your hands, then, first of all, you will need to learn the basics of knitting. Hundreds of tutorials are sold in bookstores, and detailed instructions are posted on handicraft sites in text and video format.
Step 2
After mastering the basics of knitting, find a pattern and pattern for a heating pad that you will be making. For the first time, choose something simpler. In the end, if you don't like the result, you can always dissolve the heating pad and start over using the same threads.
Step 3
Before starting knitting, be sure to make sure that the size of the heating pad you are planning will match the size of the teapot. After all, it will be a shame if you finish the work, and the heating pad is small!
Step 4
In some cases, after you tie the heating pad, it will still need to be modified. Cut out the pieces from the fabric prepared in advance according to the pattern. Cover it with cotton wool or some other insulation and quilt on a sewing machine or by hand. You can simplify your task if you have an old warm jacket - cut the insulation out of it.
Step 5
Then attach the fabric to the knitted pieces and sew. If the heating pad consists of several parts, then first you need to sew on the insulation, and then tie all the parts together, giving the work volume. The heating pad can be decorated by sewing buttons, lace, shells or any other decorative trifles to it.
