This master class will teach you how to make a bereginya doll with your own hands - a pole
In the old days, you could afford to buy toys for your childOnly the richest people could do it in the store. Ordinary people made toys themselves, the most common were pole dolls - guardians of children. They made pole dolls without using needles and scissors - it is not advisable to prick the child's protector. We will not need a needle in our work either, but we will use scissors.
To make a pillar doll you will need:
- square cloth flap (20x20 cm);
- two pair of wedge-shaped flaps (side length 20 cm);
- a small flap for the scarf;
- a small lace for the apron;
- satin ribbons;
- a small lump of synthetic filler;
