First you need to take two balls of woolen threads - light and dark, as well as a small book, cardboard and scissors. That is, the costs of not only time but also materials are small.
So, let's get started! First you need to wind light threads on the book. After that, they are cut on one side. The same thing is done with black threads. Only now they are cut immediately from two sides.
Light threads fold in half, and dark threads are evenly distributed around them. From above near the edge they are tied with one dark thread. The most important thing is to tie a knot as tight as possible. In this case, the doll will not crumble and will delight the baby for a long time.
After that, light and dark threads are carefully separated from each other. The result is the hair and body of a pupa made of woolen threads. Care must be taken to ensure that the strings do not become tangled and do not mix.
The next step is the head. In order to make it, you will need to take another dark thread and tie the body of the doll to it. The main thing is to form a rounded ball.
Next, we start weaving hands. The principle is the same. We wind dark threads on the same book and cut them on both sides. Well, after that you can only remember your childhood by braiding a pigtail.
These “pigtails” must be inserted between the threads of the “torso”. They are inserted directly under the head, after which a dark thread is tied tightly under them again. The result is a head, hair, chest and skirt.
The doll can be left in this state by hanging on the wall, or, as already mentioned, on tree branches during the spring holidays. However, you can make a desktop souvenir. It is for this purpose that cardboard may be needed. A cone is cut out of it, the tip of which is smeared with glue. The doll sits neatly on this cone, and that’s it! The toy is ready!
It remains to make a mouth and eyes. They can be drawn with a felt-tip pen, pieces of fabric can be sewn on, or cardboard parts of the face can be glued.
Well, then it all depends on your imagination! For example, a doll can do a variety of hairstyles. Braid pigtails, tie a ponytail, make a bump - all at the discretion of the master!
The dress can also be decorated in different ways. You can sew flowers, leaflets, abstraction here ... In a word, a chrysalis can turn out to be unusual, bright, original!
In addition, it will become not just a toy, or an attribute of a spring holiday, but also an ideal decorative decoration for any apartment. It takes no more than half an hour to make such a masterpiece, and brings a lot of joy!
