DIY Easy Pompom Matriochka Doll

Today, we put Russia in the spotlight on the blog! And I propose to you to realize with me these pompous in the form of Russian dolls.

As you already know, I like to explore new avenues, new materials, new know-how.

My vogue this time is in the making of pompons in wool.

As you may have noticed, many American blogs propose to make pretty creations pumped: animals, flowers, letters, many themes are exploited there.

I looked closely at this technique to reproduce patterns using colored wool.

And to change everything you could see on Pinterest or elsewhere, here is my own tutorial in wool, matriochka way.

Required Material:

– pompom tools, which I found in haberdashery, but which you can also realize yourself. A circle of 6cm diameter and another of 4cm diameter

– red aluminum wire for the mouths of the dolls

– amigurumi eyes, available on the internet. I used here balls of black paste, but you can also take small round buttons instead.

– wool of different colors. I took 100% acrylic, the cheapest in haberdashery.

– to assemble all, a glue gun like here the Glue Pen of Bosch (which kindly was offered to me by the brand to test)

We will start with the head of the Russian doll:

Begin by taking flesh-colored wool, and your tassel device 4cm diameter (the smallest).

Counts the number of laps (the next picture details): 30 turns in the center color flesh for the face, then 10 turns next to the brown hair.

Continue with the matriochka headdress, wrapping the thread 100 times so as to completely cover the brown and brown wool.

Then make the other half of the tassel by fully wrapping the red wool 140 times.

Assemble the two parts, assemble the clasps of the tassel, and cut all around with scissors.

At the end, insert a thread in the middle and not the tassel.

The head of the doll is almost ready.

We continue with the body of the matriochka. To do this, it is now necessary to take the tapered template of the other dimension (6cm).

Begins by the stomach of the doll. Wraps 20 times a red wool in the middle. Then 10 times the green wire over.

Cover the whole with 30 turns of white wool.

Then restart with 70 turns of red wool on the right, 60 of blue wool in the center and 40 of black wool on the left (as in the following picture)

For the other half sphere (which corresponds to the back of the doll), follow the instructions of the picture: 70 turns of red right, 120 of blue in the middle and 40 of black on the right side.

Assemble the top and bottom, cut your wool in the middle and tie a thread all around to hold the tassel.

Come gather the head and the body.

Equalize with scissors.

Then glue your eyes and mouth with the Glue Pen.

And here is your Russian doll ready to face the cold with her girlfriends!

Your pompoms can be used as pretty cuddly toys, but also decorate the ends of a scarf, a hair elastic, or be knotted as a key ring.’

DIY: Glowing garland with balls of yarn

On the eve of the New Year, I would like to tell you how I make a garland with balls of yarn.

We do this usually with his son. He most likes to burst balloons after they glue dries.

Here is a garland presented to me in the new year my sister.

Materials we need:

– PVA glue, better than plain. I use this:

Garland. I buy them in Ikeja. The Chinese are not suitable as light bulbs on them very much, and a small distance between them. Well and reliability again. This garland on batteries. She has a huge advantage: you do not get attached to the outlet. It can be hung wherever you want; – balloons. The smallest that can buy. I buy them just a big package, it is cheaper. More to come but pharmacies they have gone missing;

Thread should be cotton, or not impregnated with glue, and the design does not turn solid.

The thickness you choose to your liking. Remember you need only one thing: the thinner the yarn, the denser should be winding. With a thicker thread than Iris ball can be more filigree.

Everything has its little secrets. And for them, I’ll tell you.

Inflate balloons. We try to make them round.

In the future, when winding thread can be slightly adjusted form.

If you want to relieve yourself a little further their effort to extract from the finished balls burst balloons before they can be wound a little grease or vegetable oil or fat cream. But there is a BUT. Is wound in such a case, the thread will be more difficult, since they will slide over the ball. In general, with such a small amount of oil to put optional, but if you want to make a big ball, then this procedure, you can not avoid, because otherwise, it will necessarily when you pop the balloon.

We perform in a plastic container two holes thick needle.

There is also a nuance. The needle must not be much thicker filament. If the hole will be a very large, then the thread is too wet, the glue will flow down your arms. If the hole is too small, then the thread will be almost dry and the ball does not get strong.

Fill the glue in the container and begin to wind thread the beads. The winding should be dense, but too drag is not necessary because the ball will turn rough. Once dry the balls ready for several hours. The bigger, the better. Threads should not be just dry, but firm. If much can not wait, you can dry the hair dryer.

Then comes the long-awaited and most favorite moment! Bursting balls !!!

That’s what we’ve got: After that, everything is very simple. We put in the small gaps between the thread bulb garlands. For reliability can be secured with hot glue. Install the batteries and come up with your child a place for garlands!

Because of thread and glue, you can do a lot of interesting things. Shades and just beautiful things

Beautiful Crochet Yarn Flower

This Crochet Yarn Flower is easy to make and pretty for Spring. Dandelion is beautiful, strong and resilient, and now crochet one for your home for spring decoration, look fresh, right? This dandelion flower itself is easy to make, and you can use classic pom pom techniques to create, but I prefer this way below by cutting into two. And there is a way to make if you don’t have U crochet hook by using fork and green pipe cleans instead.

Required Materials:

Yarn (Green and Yellow)
Crochet hooks
Wire
Needle and thread
Glue
Scissors

Steps:

To make a dandelion first you have to wrap yellow yarn around a U shape crochet hook. After that pass yarn from the middle along its width, apply glue and and roll it.

Wrap yarn around the center of the yarn roll and cut it in two pieces to get two pom poms.

Wrap this patch around the dandelion top and tie it. Tie the lower part tightly and cut the edge. Dip in white glue to seal.

Then cut pieces of green yarn in equal length and thread a green thread through each piece of yarn with needle. Again repeat the same step with some gap.
