In the modern world of needlework, there are a lot of diverse areas of manufacturing things, household items, toys, etc. do it yourself. Now it’s fashionable to sew Tild pupae. But, unfortunately, our ancient Slavic beregin dolls were completely unjustly forgotten! They were made not only to decorate the interior, but also as ritual symbols or gifts that had a specific purpose. They were made from various improvised materials: clay, scraps of fabric, straw, etc. Ahead is the women's favorite holiday - March 8th! Commonplace gifts already bored and do not bring joy and pleasant surprise. The donated doll will not only cause admiration for your skill, but also will definitely cause positive emotions, remembered for a long time!

You can make a doll amulet from what you have. It can be ordinary threads for sewing, any yarn, etc. This MK describes the manufacture of a doll from a washcloth. You can buy it at any construction or hardware store.

To work, we need:
  • glue gun;
  • multi-colored satin ribbons of various widths;
  • rags of fabric;
  • matches;
  • scissors;
  • bast brush;
  • spoke;
  • transparent tape;
  • some lace;
  • scissors.


Untie the knots on the brush with the pointed edge of the knitting needle. We do not throw out the resulting ties, they will come in handy later on.

Inside the brush, the bast is squeezed out by the bark of a tree, which is not only poorly fixed, but also very crumbles. Why around the table it becomes garbage constantly. Press the bark with one hand, and secure the transparent tape with the other with your free hand.
