For each product, you need to choose a certain material: for example, leather from gloves is suitable for jewelry - it is soft, elastic and capable of conveying the most subtle nuance; It is better to sew bags from harder leather, and if soft leather is used for this, it is necessary to make a lining from a dense material.

First you need to make a pattern for the product. If it is difficult, it is recommended to pre-sew the model from a cheap fabric and, after making the necessary changes, use it as a pattern. In order to cut out the details, the patterns are placed on the seamy side of the leather and outlined with a ballpoint pen.

When cutting out paired parts, you need to remember that the skin stretches more in the transverse direction than in the longitudinal direction, so they need to be cut in one direction. It is impossible to split the skin with pins: marks remain on it.

Soft leather is sewn on the machine with a regular needle No. 80 or No. 90; a special triangular needle is required for sewing thicker leather. The stitching should be large, as the skin is easily cut through. If the machine does not advance the leather well, you can stitch it through thin paper, which is then removed. You need to take strong and elastic threads: cotton, linen or twisted silk. Nylon threads are not suitable for sewing.

When sewing suede, you need to take into account the direction of the pile: it is better if it is directed from top to bottom.

If the product is assembled from individual pieces of leather, they must be adjusted to non-woven or thick cotton fabric. For the convenience of work, they should be glued to the base with rubber glue so that the upper pieces are found on the lower ones by 0.5-1 cm.

The leather should be ironed from the wrong side with a non-hot iron, without steam, through a dry cloth.

This is a very important process by which the skin is given the required thickness. As a rule, it is required to evenly thin the leather only at the joints of the parts, however, if there is no leather of suitable thickness, you have to sand its entire surface.

You need to learn how to sharpen on small pieces of leather that you don't mind ruining.

For work, a plastic stand (plexiglass) is placed on the table like a school notebook - at an angle of approximately 70 ° to the edge of the tabletop. The height of the table and chair should be selected so that the elbow of the bent arm does not reach the table 1-2 cm. The skin is placed on the tile with the bakhtar upward, closer to the front and right edges, and pressed against it with the fingers of the left hand. The knife is gripped from below with the little finger, ring and middle fingers, the thumb rests against the butt, and the index finger presses the knife from above in the center. The knife, index finger and forearm should be in line when working.

Sanding starts from the edges in the direction "away from you". The knife is held with a slight slope to the right. You need to learn not to plan, but to cut off the layers of the skin: for this, the knife must go parallel to the surface of the plate, without cutting into or pulling out of the skin. The fingers of the left hand should not be in front of the knife - you can forget and cut yourself.

When sanding, the long edges are cut first, then the short ones and last, if necessary, the middle.

Do you think this is too complicated manipulation? Do not be upset, with a certain skill and a good tool, grinding does not require physical strength.

Finished products are coated with varnish, beeswax, mastic or shoe polish, applying them with a soft cloth, then polished with a piece of flannel - this will protect the product from contamination.

To fix the color, it is recommended to cover the painted product with leather varnish or egg yolk.

You can sew thin leather parts in the usual way on a sewing machine, you just need a special leather needle.

Those with an antique swing shuttle sewing machine can sew even thick leather - they're in luck. Due to its special design, such a sewing machine makes it quite easy. Modern imported sewing machines have a removable foot with wheels for pushing the fabric. Such a foot can be installed on a domestic sewing machine by purchasing an adapter adapter. Another option to make the work of the sewing machine easier is the Teflon foot for imported machines. It can be attached to any sewing machine using an adapter.

In the event that the leather does not slip well, you can grease the seam with machine oil or put thin paper on top and bottom, and then remove it.

The leather should not be stitched together with temporary stitches; you need to use rubber glue for basting.

It is most convenient to use an awl needle for sewing. First, the needle is inserted into the skin. During its reverse movement, a loop is formed on the opposite side, into which the extended end of the thread or the second strong thread is pulled. To the end of this thread, you can tie an ordinary, preferably blunt, needle of any size: this way it is more convenient to thread the thread into the loops that are formed.

The result is a seam that resembles an ordinary machine one: both threads form stitches, each on its side, and the threads are intertwined between the layers of leather.

Stitch seam- the most common, used to connect parts. To thin the seam, it is necessary to rough the edges of the parts by the width of the allowance, then fold the parts with the front sides inward and, after adding the allowances with rubber glue, lay the line. After that, unfold the parts, remove the remnants of the glue; bend the allowances in different directions, tap them along the entire length with a wooden hammer and, having smeared with Moment glue, press them to the base (glue them).

The seam can be decorated with an edging (fig. 6). The details are folded with a bakhtarma, between them an edging folded in half, with a bakhtarma inside, is inserted (Fig. 7). Along the line of the future seam, strips of leather 3-4 mm wide are laid on one or both sides. Both parts, edging and stripes are sewn together at the same time, and the strips are not sewn through, but are seized with oblique stitches and take the form of a twisted cord.

This seam can be used in the manufacture of bags, vests, etc. A seam with a piping on one side when sewing slippers will decorate the joint between the sole and the upper.

Butt seam. Performed in a zigzag pattern. It is used to join parts, if you want to obtain the minimum thickness of the seam (Fig.8a). It can be reinforced with a braid or leather strip from the bottom or top, as well as from both sides (Fig. 86).

The butt seam is used for recruitment(this is the name of a canvas assembled from small pieces of leather). The set can be used for sewing bags, vests, cushion covers, etc. mosaic, from pieces of various shapes and sizes, and regular(geometric), assembled from regular geometric shapes that make up the pattern's rapport. It can be "parquet", "herringbone" (Fig. 9), "American square" (Fig. 10), "stained glass" (Fig. I).

Stitching seam. This seam has a closed cut. To complete it, the parts should be folded with the front sides, the allowances should be smeared with rubber glue, then the upper part should be unscrewed and both parts should be stitched with one seam to the desired edge width.

This seam can be done in another way: first connect the parts with a seam seam, then, bending the top part, sew both parts to the desired edge width (while both lines must be performed in the same direction).

Overhead seam. It is used when joining parts with an overlap: the cut edge of one part, without bending, is superimposed on another, also not folded edge, and connected with a machine line at the same distance from the cuts. The amount of entry of one part to another is 4-8 mm. For pre-joining, the seams can be coated with rubber glue.

With such a seam it is convenient to connect parts with a curly cut, made, for example, with zigzag scissors, as well as adjust braid or trim strips of leather, which can be in the color of the main part or, conversely, contrasting.

This stitch is especially good for making mosaic sets. On a base made of material or non-woven fabric, you need to lay out small pieces of leather so that the upper ones are found on the lower ones, match them by color, glue them with rubber glue and attach, moving gradually from top to bottom, with a regular line or a zigzag line.

Pillows made in this way are just a feast for the eyes!

To connect parts, in addition to sewing and gluing, a technique such as braiding is widely used. Pre-perforation is made in the workpiece - holes are punched. It is better to do this with punches of various diameters or a chisel. Since the distances between the holes must be the same, we use a ruler or compass for marking.

When using a punch, you should never pierce the skin by superimposing one part on top of another, as the lower one can easily and imperceptibly move. Therefore, first we finish with one part, then we put the braided parts of the parts on top of each other with the front sides inward (at the top there should be a part with already punched holes) and with a round awl we mark the place of the holes on the second part so that the number of holes and the distances between them subsequently coincide.

Various materials can be used for braiding: thin cord, soutache, braid, narrow ribbon, threads, but leather stripes are best suited for this purpose. To get a long enough strip from a relatively small piece of leather, you can use a simple technique - cut it in a spiral (Fig. 12), trying to cut it straight. We need several strips so that their total length is three times the braided edge. After that, the strips are moistened with warm water and wound tightly around the bottle. After drying, the strip will become even; the middle of the skin is not used in the work - the steepness of the spiral is too great.

Rice. 12

To join our strips, their edges need to be smoothed, spread with glue, folded (Fig. 13) and squeezed tightly. When braiding, you need to try so that the gluing point is on the seamy side of the braided parts or between adjacent holes.

For braiding a part, the width of the strip must be at least the diameter of the hole. It is important to correctly select not only the hole diameter and braid width, but also the distance between the holes.

Rice. 13

Do not forget that the braid serves not only to connect parts, but is also a decorative element, therefore, you should carefully approach the selection of its color: it must be in harmony with the color of the main material. The braid can be used when joining parts in handbags, eyeglass cases, cosmetic bags, scabbards, for finishing edges in belts, hairpins and vests.

When connecting parts, their allowances should, if necessary, be previously smoothed and glued, and the corners should be rounded with a knife or scissors, since it will not be possible to braid sharp corners.

Fix the ends of the strips in the following ways:

1. One end of the strip is glued between two parts, and the other is pulled twice into the hole of one of them, so that one turn fits onto the other (Fig. 14).

Rice. fourteen

2. The beginning of the leather strip is cut out wider, a hole is punched in it. The other end of the strip is pulled into the hole of the part and its own hole, forming a lock (Fig. 15). If two parts are connected, the lock is located between them.

Rice. 15

The braiding can be simple, in one or two rows, and complex. Figures 16-20 show a number of simple braids.

In order to make it easier to thread the leather strips into the holes, their ends should be sharpened; for work, you can use a needle with a large eye.

If there are no punches, you can punch holes with a chisel.

With the help of a chisel, holes are punched to perform the so-called "holding" of pulling leather strips, braid, cord, soutache, etc. (Fig. 20).

Now let's take a closer look at several options for braids, which will later be useful to us for finishing. The work is very painstaking, but the result is worth it (Fig. 21 a-h). Options b-z can be used for decoration. The technique is slightly reminiscent of cross stitching. The stitches are obtained by holding two straps. One is threaded from bottom to top (it is convenient to push with an awl), and the other - through the same hole - from top to bottom.

To decorate products, you can use decorative braids that combine the technique of holding and embroidery (Fig. 22-24). Keep in mind, ethnicity is always in fashion!

Skin is an elastic material that undergoes any deformation, which, when moisturized, takes on any shape. These properties are often used to make wrap products.

The basis for forming the product can be temporary (for example, when a blank for a bracelet is pulled over the bottle) - in this case, after the skin is completely dry, it is removed; or permanent (if you decide to decorate the bottle itself) - then the base becomes an integral part of the product.

In the first case, the skin should be thick, strong and tough, that is, it should retain its shape well after drying. A glass, metal or wooden vase, a jar, a bottle of shampoo, a glass or a box of an interesting shape can serve as a blank.

An example of making a decorative item based on a small glass vase is shown in Figure 25.

Rice. 25

First, you should make a paper pattern: for this, a vase is placed in the center of the sheet and the paper is gathered around it and folded into folds; the excess paper is trimmed from above, and the pattern is straightened. On it, taking into account the size and shape of the skin, a blank is cut out.

An interesting effect is obtained when using in this work saddlery and unpainted leather lining, which can be decorated with perforation, burning, embossing, overlaid elements in the form of bouquets or ornaments.

On the cut-out workpiece, you should first perform the intended perforation or stamping, and then, after moistening it, pull it on the base, laying arbitrary assemblies and folds, and wrap it with a wide rubber band in places of narrowing and leave to dry. The product can be dried in the oven or on the battery: in this case, the skin will become harder and dry, this will give the structure a more rigid shape.

After the skin is dry, the base must be removed and the vase must be finalized. With the help of a burning machine, you can make a drawing on it in accordance with taste and imagination.

At the end of the work, you need to fix the shape of the vase by gluing the folds from the inside or gluing a decorative strap around the narrow place on top; and the glued leather bottom will increase its stability.

In the manufacture of some products, the drapery of the leather gives a good effect. This technique can be used both as a decorative and as a masking one. If, alas, there are imperfections on the skin (holes, scratches, colored spots, uneven skin thickness), the drapery will help to hide these imperfections. Drapery is also very convenient in cases where, say, a piece of leather is not enough to tighten the entire surface of the product. In this case, the joints or seams are laid in folds, masking them inside these folds. Skin imperfections are also removed into folds.

As for the uneven coloring, it just can give a special effect to the product. We must remember this when starting the drapery.

For work you will need glue "Moment" or "88", tweezers, knitting needle or awl. The work is done on the basis of. If the drapery is a fragment on a large canvas - for example, on a bag - the piece of leather is draped and glued directly onto the canvas. The situation is different if we are not talking about a fragment, but about a separate thing, completely draped. For example, when making a hryvnia (neck decoration), you need to cut out a base from thick leather or cardboard that repeats the silhouette of the product, and when making a hair clip, you can use an old plastic base.

Also note that the front of the skin and the front of the product are not always the same! If the skin has a beautiful bakhtarma, then the face of the product may be it.

The leather can be heat-treated, as a result of which it changes its shape, bends. This property of leather is successfully used in the manufacture of jewelry, appliques, and decoration.

The simplest type of heat treatment is the "fried button". Several circles of different diameters are cut out of leather (preferably tough). They are placed face up on a heated cast-iron skillet (you can fry leather on the electric stove directly on the burner). After a while, the circles will evenly bend upward (if you remember, when frying sausage slices, the effect is the same!), And you will have a convex "button". Such buttons can be used instead of overhead elements, edging them with a leather strip or cord; you can make from them the cores of fantasy flowers or lay out an ornament from "buttons" of different diameters.

Heat treatment can also be used when making flowers. For this, leaves and flowers are cut out according to patterns and lightly toasted; the petals should take on a natural shape, slightly bent towards the edges. The main thing is not to overexpose, otherwise the edges of the skin will be charred and shrink too much.

If this does happen, you can grind off the edges with a chisel or sandpaper.

Light-colored leather should be treated with particular care: it darkens towards the edges, although sometimes this gives the product a special charm, for example, in floral arrangements.

The same effect can be achieved by using a candle instead of a frying pan - especially if it is necessary so that not the whole part is bent, but only part of it, as, for example, in flower petals. The part must be taken with tweezers and hold the part that should be convex over the candle. You need to keep it until it changes shape.

Burning on the skin is performed with a conventional electric burner. It looks especially beautiful on light-colored skin: white, creamy, beige and sandy. The best material for work is leather and leather. Dear beginners, do not take thin skin for burning - without the necessary skill, you will simply ruin it.

It is necessary to work, easily touching the material; it should be carried out along the lines of the drawing with a heated sting of a burner as calmly as with a pencil or a brush. The main thing that you need to take care of during the process is not to hold the sting in any one place, since, stopping on the skin, it, of course, will immediately burn it. It is generally not recommended to press hard on the material: even if the sting does not burn it, it will give a too wide black line. Of course, the lines can be different in width, but this should depend solely on the drawing itself.

In order to get some skill in handling the electric burner, it is better to take thick skin for work: the sting moves in it more easily - this is facilitated by its smoothness. If any line is not burned out enough, then you need to pass it a second time with a weakly red-hot sting. Each started line should be completed, without jumping to others. In order for the lines to be of the same thickness, the sting must be tried to lead evenly and with the same, very light pressure.

With the help of burning, it is easiest to depict contour patterns, without transferring various shades of light and shade.

Burnout patterns on thick leather can be painted over with aniline paints. They are applied with a brush in several steps with a break of 15-20 minutes. After the paints have dried, the drawing is intensively rubbed with a piece of woolen cloth to give it brightness and shine. The resulting color should be secured with a retainer.

This is embossed leather treatment. This is a rather painstaking work, here you need to be careful about the thickness of the skin. Stamping (embossing) can be hot and cold.

Leather trim hot stamping is based on its properties to take a lasting imprint from pressing on it with hot metal stamps. Leather from 1.5 to 3 mm is suitable for this embossing. Hand embossing provides a wide variety of designs by combining the available stamps.

Stamps can be made by yourself using ordinary nails with large heads, filing them with a file to the shape you need (Fig. 26).

Usually, the drawing is printed immediately: it is difficult to get onto the old print in order to make it stronger. For complex drawings, a preliminary print is made on thin paper, put on a blank and imprinted through the paper on the skin with slightly heated instruments. Then, removing the paper, they pass the drawing again with the same tools.

To make a convex (concave) ornament, you need to carefully press the stamp from the side of the bakhtarma (or vice versa) until the desired pattern is obtained. The relief of the seamy side should be greased with PVA glue.

For cold stamping suitable for leather with a thickness of 0.8-1.2 mm. It is used when you need to apply a pattern to smooth leather, for example, to draw lines along the edges of the frames. To do this, use a roller or other wooden tool that is guided back and forth along a ruler until the line is deep enough.

For cold embossing on smooth surfaces, you can use a custom-sized cardboard template. A pattern is applied to the cardboard and then cut through with a sharp knife or scalpel. The rounded contours are cut with nail scissors with rounded ends (some of the elements of the picture may fall out).

After that, the cut out cardboard (template) is glued to the product, the dropped elements are glued in the right places. After drying, the glue and uneven spots are removed.

When the template is completely ready, it is pasted over with thin leather, and at first it is wiped with a soft cloth, and then they pass along the contours of the pattern with a bone so as not to damage the skin.

After drying, you can pour paint into the grooves: nitro enamel, pentaphthalic gouache or watercolor, diluted with PVA glue. Acrylic paints are widely used.

With the help of oil and acrylic paints, you can paint album covers, jewelry boxes, jewelry and other products made of leather.

Starting to work with paints on the skin, it must be wiped (especially light skin) with a solution of potash (1 teaspoon of potash for 1 glass of warm water). A cotton swab, wrapped in a clean cloth, is dipped in the solution, wrung out a little so that it does not run off, and it is carefully wiped off the skin. This is done so that the skin perceives the paint better, holds it more firmly and is clean enough: the potash solution destroys dirt and perfectly cleanses the skin.

Do not apply a thick layer of paint to leather. When working with oil paints, it is necessary not only to put them thinly, but also to rub them lightly into the material. You don't have to take it literally, but adhere to this rule so that the paint firmly adheres to the skin. A smear that is too thick can break, crack, and even fall off. A thin layer, when rubbed into the skin, is absorbed into it and adheres firmly to it.

Automotive dyes in aerosol cans can be used to paint leather either smoothly or using a stencil technique. Using a traditional stencil, figures are cut out of cardboard or plastic and the leather is dyed through the holes. Or, conversely, small objects of a clear shape are placed on a leather part (for example, on a future earring): circles, rings, sticks. After dyeing, a pattern will appear on the earrings.

The pattern obtained by imposing various plants on the skin, for example, maple leaves or fern, looks spectacular. The leaves are beautifully placed on a plane and sprayed with dye, trying to alternate places that are more saturated with color and less saturated. Such a drawing can decorate a book cover, a bag.

Hot batik decoration is popular. A piece of an ordinary stearic candle is melted in a water bath and a pattern is applied to the skin with a brush. The “dry brush” technique looks impressive when a trace of individual villi is visible. For this, not a lot of stearin is collected on the brush. Beforehand, it is advisable to practice on unnecessary pieces of skin. After applying the stearin, the skin is coated with aniline dye (sold at hardware stores for dyeing fabrics). The dye is preliminarily diluted according to the recipe on the package. You can also use colored ink as a dye.

After applying the dye, the skin is dried. A pattern is obtained on the product - the original color of the leather against the background of the color of the dye.

If a multicolor pattern is conceived, the work is carried out as follows:

1. Apply a pattern with stearin to those areas that should remain the lightest - skin color.

2. Paint the surface with the lightest color of your choice and dry.

3. Apply stearin to areas that remain light.

4. Stain with a darker dye. Don't forget that when you mix paints, you get different colors! For example, if you apply cyan dye over yellow, it will turn greenish. Dried again.

5. Now a pattern of several colors is visible on the product - skin color, yellow, green. Reapply stearin to areas that remain green. Now you can cover the product with the darkest color - blue, black, brown.

6. Remove stearin from the skin surface. Where it lies in a thick layer, it is carefully scraped off so as not to spoil the surface of the product. Can be quickly ironed over newspaper with a hot iron. This procedure is repeated several times. It is necessary to iron it quickly and carefully so that the skin does not tighten. This method is suitable for thick and medium leathers.

7. To give shine, the surface of the leather is rubbed with pastes with wax or colorless shoe polish.

Applique is one of the types of embroidery: patching or gluing a pattern made of pieces of fabric onto the main fabric.

The applique can be applied and cut out.

For execution overhead applique details of the pattern are applied to the main fabric, glued or sewn on. You can sew on by hand or by machine, you can fix the applique on the product with a braid. Figure 27 shows an example of a consignment note. On thin leather, beads of different colors or beads can be sewn into the middle of the flowers.

For execution cut-out applique the pattern is applied to the main fabric (leather) and cut out, then pieces of fabric or leather of a contrasting color are placed on its seamy side. If the holes are large, the parts are glued along the contour and sewn, if the pattern consists of a group of small holes, then it is better to put a common piece under them - the background. It can be “grabbed” in several places with glue and secured with a braid (Fig. 28). The bottom piece can be lined, for example for a belt.

The amulet is a kind of protection for the astral body. He can attract luck or money, protect from evil people and misfortunes. Making a magic symbol with your own hands is not difficult. It is much more important that such a product will protect a house, a car, a child. Protects from the evil eye, damage, disease. There are charms in the form of an ornament or embroidery, made of metal or wood. They are created with love, in a good mood.

While the amulet is being prepared, the person charges the craft with his energy, positive emotions. It is necessary to believe in the protective power, then the magical properties of the product will fully manifest.

What is a talisman for?

First, you need to determine the purpose of the future product. For what or for whom is it created? The amulet, unlike amulets and talismans, can protect the whole family. That is why so often magic items are created for a house, an apartment. They bring love and prosperity with them, relieve quarrels and misfortunes.

A charm for spouses is necessary for a happy family life. He will protect against betrayal, jealousy. Will give peace and harmony. Such a magical symbol is often presented for a wedding or anniversary of marriage. It should be hidden from prying eyes, not shown to anyone.

The amulet for a child will protect against diseases, support spiritual and physical development. Will save you from peer attacks, bad deeds.

The amulet for love will attract new fans, make the aura attractive for the opposite sex.

The male amulet will protect you on the road, in war. Warn about the danger. It will save you from diseases, troubles, and evil people.

All magical actions are performed in complete solitude. Making crafts is a certain ritual. No one should see the process of creating a talisman, one should not be forced to make it. Everything should happen on a whim, with inspiration.

It is best to do the amulet with your own hands at night, by candlelight. Or during the day, in bright sunlight. Be sure to put your heart and soul into its creation. Charge with positive strength and kindness. Usually, the amulet is made for relatives, less often for themselves.

Put the finished product under the pillow at night. So the amulet will gain full strength, saturated with the necessary energy. Before going to bed, you should think about who the magic symbol is being made for. Imagine how he will protect his owner.

The next day, give a charm with kind words. It should be worn closer to the body, under clothing. If the protective craft was intended for the home, it is better to hide it in a secluded place. Then the evil eye will not harm, will not knock mental information from the product.

Product cleaning

The amulet is made from natural materials - wood, leather, metal. If fabrics and threads are used, they should be woolen, linen or cotton. Baking powder or food coloring is not added to dough crafts. But the finished product can be decorated, painted with paints.

All protective crafts accumulate negative energy over time. Natural materials are able not only to keep positive and negative waves for a long time, but also to return them back. Therefore, after conflicts, quarrels, illnesses, accidents, the product should be cleaned. To do this, use the power of four elements - fire, water, earth, air.

Fire... Hold the amulet over a white candle. Best of all, if it is a consecrated, church candle. It should only be used once - to clean the product.

Water... Rinse in running water or sprinkle with holy water.

Earth... Bury the amulet and leave it overnight. If this is problematic, you can bury it in coarse salt. In the morning, take out the amulet, throw away the salt.

Air... Highly understand the amulet on outstretched arms. Turn to each side of the world, exposing the product to the wind. Or light a candle and hold it over the smoke.

Charm of herbs

The simplest amulet is a sachet of herbs. You can prepare the dried herb yourself or buy it at the pharmacy. It fits into a bag (you can hang it around your neck) or sewn into a small pillow (it is better to do it at home).

Protect from evil- clover, juniper, dill, rosemary, mountain ash, St. John's wort. Basil will bring love and wealth... Carnation - luck, money and healing... Oak - longevity, procreation... Mint - wealth, healing, love... Garlic - protection, banishment of evil forces... Sage - healing, well-being... Laurel - strength, healing, cleansing... Cuff - preservation of pregnancy.

You can decorate the sachet with decorative ribbons. Buttons are also a magical element. If you sew them on a bag or pillow of herbs, you get additional protection. The photo shows different ways of how you can sew on buttons and their meaning.

Making dolls

Products in the form of dolls are necessarily created for the growing moon, with a good mood and good thoughts. When making dolls, try to use stabbing, cutting objects to a minimum. This can negatively affect the properties of the product.

Tie the knots on the threads and ribbons an even number of times. As a rule, the face of the amulet dolls is not drawn. This is done so that the misfortune with the doll (fell, torn, broken) does not affect the person.

In addition, do-it-yourself amulets in the form of dolls can be molded from wax, clay, salt dough. After that, as you can see in the photo, they can be painted with paints or decorated with ribbons.

Women's days for making dolls - Wednesday, Friday. For men - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. On Saturday and Sunday, it is better not to engage in protective crafts.

If the doll is ready, light 4 candles, put the product in the center. To activate, read the conspiracy:

How to make a doll amulet

The doll "To health" is made of thick linen thread. Such a talisman brings health to the house, healing. The ancient Slavs believed that flax takes away the negative energy of the disease on itself, helps a person to get better.

The whole doll is palm-length (15 cm). During its manufacture, read prayers, wish a person health.

Step 1. Prepare soft linen threads. For straps - red.

Step 2. Cut cardboard (or other suitable material) to the length of the doll. Make 3 windings without breaking the threads. Thick winding for the body. Thinner - for hands. And the same as for the hands - for the braid.

Step 3. Cut on one side.

Step 4. For hands - weave a braid, tie at the end with a red thread. For a braid, tie a simple knot.

Step 5. Take a red thread (1 m), mark the neck. Do not pull off the thread.

Step 6. Put the braid into the head. So that the strands do not get tangled, tie the top of the head with a thread.

Tie a knot on your head.

Step 7. On the head - braid. Tie the braided arms crosswise, mark the waist.

Step 8. Tie on the head - a rim. There is a belt at the waist. The doll "To health" is ready!

Charm bracelet

A charm in the form of a bracelet can be made of thread, beads, wood, natural stones. One of the simplest is a red woolen thread tied around the wrist. Seven knots on the bracelet will protect you from evil forces and the evil eye. Pictured is a bracelet made of intertwined leather cords. They strengthen the human biofield, eliminate the negative.

Shambhala bracelets attract good luck, protect from misfortunes. Beads for the product can be taken both wooden and glass. Weaving such bracelets as in the photo yourself is a whole art. Here, each knot has a certain meaning and spiritual content.

Wooden figurines are another important element of protection. Animals or fish in products have a certain meaning. They symbolize courage and courage, strength and wisdom. It is important to find a figurine that you like - then the amulet will take on special meaning. So, in the photo - a swimming dolphin symbolizes freedom and joy.

How to make a Shambhala bracelet

To make a bracelet, beads are connected with a cord using a "flat" knot. Beads can be made of wood, stone, metal, with or without rhinestones. It is important that there are no more than 9 of them. This is due to the legend about the mythical land of Shambhala, which was surrounded by 9 mountains.

The thickness of the cord should be the same as the holes in the beads. So that the cord easily passes into the hole (especially silk), its end can be greased with glue.

Prepare:

• Beads (9 pieces, 1 cm in diameter), spacer beads with rhinestones (8 pieces);
• Bead on a clasp with a large hole, 2 beads (7 mm in diameter) for “ponytails”;
• Cord (1.5 m), leather, waxed, silk or linen;
• Moment glue;
• Plastic tablet with a clip;
• Scissors.

Step 1. Measure the circumference of the arm, just above the wrist. Add the approximate length of the braided clasp. Add the length of the "ponytails", with which the bracelet is tightened on the arm. You will get a piece of cord about 50 cm.Attach it to the tablet with a clip, as shown in the photo.

Step 2. Cut the cord into 3 pieces. Two - 25 cm each. One - 50 cm. Weave 5 "flat" knots. " The diagram shows that one knot is knitted from left to right and from right to left.

You can replace cords 1 and 3 with one piece (25 cm) folded in half.

Step 3. After 5 "flat" knots, string the main beads and the beads-spacers with rhinestones on the main cord alternately. String one bead onto the cord. Secure it by tying one "flat" knot and one simple knot.

Fix the knot with glue, cut off the excess ends of the threads.

Step 5. Take the second piece of cord (25 cm). Weave 5 “flat” knots on the back of the main cord. Fix the last bead, cut off the excess ends.

Step 6. Thread the ends of the main cord through the fastener bead.

Step 7. Take an additional piece of cord (50 cm). Fold it in half and wrap around the ends of the bracelet. Now the ponytails are the main thread. Weave 5 “flat” knots up to the clasp bead, braid the bead, weave 5 more “flat” knots. Fasten the thread, cut off the excess ends. Fasten small beads at the ends of the "ponytails".
