Dolls-pupits: a master class for beginners

How difficult are they in making puppets? The master class will tell you about it. With due patience and creative approach, you will receive an original toy for a child or a simple gift for loved ones.

Where do puppets begin? A master class (absolutely any) will give you a clear answer: from searching for the necessary materials. You need a sintepon, kapron tights (flesh-colored, whole and clean), flaps of bright fabrics and, of course, a needle and thread. For the hair you need a knitting yarn. In this case, the best acrylic thread. Wire and a plastic bottle are used as a frame.

Now let's look at how these puppets are born from these materials. The master class, as well as the work of a professional, begins and the manufacture of the head. When it's ready, it's easier to make a frame and other parts. The size of the body should correspond to the length of the handle of the pupa. The bottle frame is made for sitting "popika", wire - for hanging. Having created a head and other details, you can safely start to tailoring clothes. Here everything depends on your imagination, tastes and for whom and for what reason you make a souvenir.

And now more about the production of such a miracle, as puppets-poiki, the master class of which is quite simple in the study. As mentioned earlier, you need to start with the head, more precisely, from the nose. For him, you roll the ball out of the sintepon, tighten it with threads and a needle and form on the "face". Then, adding more sintepona, create cheeks, forehead, chin in the same way. In order to form the neck of the pupa, you need to tie it with a string of pantyhose under the head. Mouth and eyes give the right facial expression to the priest. You can embroider your eyes, you can sew buttons or buy ready-made eyes in the store. For naturalness, make eyelids from pieces of tights and sew them to the appropriate place.

All the "unevennesses" that inevitably appear during the passage of all stages of "MK: puppets-puppies", for example, on the back of the head, are beautifully concealed with a wig of thread, hat, scarf or any other means. Then the trunk is made with the help of a skeleton and a stocking stretched over it. The proportions of the parts must strictly correspond to each other, as already indicated above. If the frame is made of wire, then it is wrapped with threads or a sintepon, so that it does not break through the nylon shell. The same is done with hands and feet. By the way, even if you make a frame from a bottle, then the arms / legs should be made of wire. When it is well wrapped, we tighten pantyhose and form limbs, a body. All parts should be sewn. When the body is ready, you can start sewing clothes.

Separately it is necessary to say about the "decor", which is always impressive puppets. With your own hands you can and need to work out every little detail perfectly. But that is not all. There are many ways to add a special mischievous charm, which is so different from these dolls from other souvenirs. To do this, you can apply jewelry, but without fanaticism. And you can also lightly tint the doll: cheeks, eyelids, lips - that is, apply the usual "make-up", which will add some piquancy and playfulness to the image, will add character.

If you want and some skill you can create with your own hands these cheerful souvenirs without any problems, without spending fabulous money and a huge amount of time for making dolls.
