Motanka do-it-yourself doll: master class

Take a piece of white fabric size 25-25cm. Place cotton wool in the middle of a piece of fabric and form it into a ball — this will be the doll's head. We gather the fabric around the cotton ball and secure it with thread, wrapping it tightly around the fabric. We make a cross on the face.For this you will need thin ribbons of white and cherry flowers. First we take a white ribbon, wrap it around the head horizontally, then draw it vertically and tie it at the back of the head. We also tie a cherry ribbon over the white ribbon. It makes sense to take a cherry ribbon slightly narrower than the width of the white one. As you can see in the photo, the ends of the tapes go into the head winding — you can thread the tape under an existing winding, or you can wind the tapes with another piece of thread. Ours has such a beautiful facereels. This design method is called the sacred cross. We make hands for the doll. To do this, cut out two pieces of 15x15 cm from the same white fabric.We twist each flap into a loose roller and secure it with thread, wrapping it around the edges, top and bottom, stepping back slightly from the edge of the roller. We form the base of the doll. You will need a piece of fabric measuring 30x60 cm. Place a strip of cotton wool on it and roll the flap into a roller.We wrap the roller tightly with thread along the entire length of the roller.We straighten the piece of fabric below the head, insert the base column inside and wrap it tightly around the base. It turns out to be a torso with a head.Then we wrap both handles with thread in the neck area.We cut out the skirt.For it you will need a piece of linen fabric measuring 30x50 cm. We place the fabric with the wrong side up in the area of ​​the «waist» so that the skirt covers your face. With our hands we gather the edge into an accordion around the «waist» and wrap it with threads, as shown in the photo below. Lower the skirt down — she's ready. Let's make a shirt.For it, we cut a strip 6 cm wide, wrap it around the back of the neck and crosswise in front. We remove the remaining strips under the arms, laying the edge inward. We fix it with thread, wrapping it around the doll. To visually separate the skirt and shirt, tie a colorful ribbon at the waist.For the scarf, cut a triangular piece and tie it on the head, around the neck. We fix it at the back with a knot. We decorate the motanka doll: we wrap the spikelets and sugar viburnum with tape, and tie a bow of yellow and green ribbon on top. And we secure our bouquet in the hands of the bereginya with a thread. The do-it-yourself motanka doll made according to our master class is ready. Now your home and family will be under reliable protection. Irina Usovich specially for the site Previous article: Next article:
