Original solution: a doll-box. Master-class detailed

Even in the days of our grandmothers it was very fashionable to keep ornaments in caskets made in the form of figurines of girls in magnificent apparels. The very capacity for saving valuables was hidden under lush skirts. This doll-box and today is not only a practical thing for storing jewelry, but also a beautiful decorative element. We invite all creative people to learn how to make such an object with their own hands. We will execute it from improvised materials. How to make a doll-box at home, we learn from the next master class.

Stage of preparation

In order to carry out your own original jewelry box, you will need the materials listed in the following list:

• Barbie doll (or any other, similar in size);
• A plastic bottle with a volume of 1.5 liters;
• paper;
• Fabric crepe-satin white;
• batting;
• Lace caprone blue and white;
• satin tape;
• Decorative elements (beads, small flowers from ribbons);
• Sewing thread.

In the work on making such a product as a doll-box (master-class read below), we will use such tools:

• scissors;
• Knife stationery;
• Needle;
• compass;
• Thermo gun.

Doll-box: a master class. Stage of manufacturing and decoration of the bottom of the PET bottle

With the help of a stationery knife, we cut off the top part of the plastic container with the lid. Its height should be 10 centimeters. The neck is also cut off. From the bottom of the bottle we measure 10 centimeters. Cut off the "glass". From it we will form the lower part of the casket.

We proceed to registration. From paper, we make circular patterns with a diameter of 7 cm, 7.5 cm, 8 cm, 8.5 cm. We transfer them to batting and fabric. From crepe-satin we cut out two circles - 8 and 8.5 cm in diameter. From the batting we make circles according to the patterns of 7 and 7.5 cm. Next, we prepare the blanks of a rectangular shape. From the fabric, we cut out details with dimensions of 45 x 20 cm and 35 x 20 cm.

On the biggest circle of crepe-satin we put a billet from the batting 7,5 cm in diameter. Grasping both these details with a needle, sew a rectangular cut. When this action is performed, we attach the fabric with uniform folds. The result is a bag with a round bottom. Similarly, we sew together smaller pieces. How to make out a doll-box from a plastic bottle next? We learn from the instructions.

The front side of the round part of the first bag is greased with glue from the thermo-pistol and fastened to the bottom inside the "cup" from the plastic bottle. Smooth and smooth the fabric with your fingers. Next, we apply the adhesive material to the walls of the container and in the same way attach the side parts of the bag. When the whole internal surface of the part is framed, we throw the remaining fabric behind its sides and fill it under the outer bottom.

Similarly, the second part of the plastic bottle is made out. To decorate it, a second pouch (smaller in size) is used. Here, the remainder of the fabric is removed to the outside and temporarily tied with an elastic band or thread.

Stage dressing the dress

Further, the doll-box, the master-class you are studying, should "put on" a magnificent outfit. We will perform it from kapron lace. We sew it, attaching it with uniform folds, along the bottom edge of the "cup". The next frill is done at a distance of 1-1.5 centimeters up from the first. Make sure that the bottom edge of this rucosa closes the seam of the previous one. So we sew the necessary number of frills. Performing them, alternate the lace of white and blue. By the same technology, ruches and the second part of the plastic billet.

Next, remove the knot on the top part. We remove the feet from the doll and glue it to the place where the bottle had a neck. Try to attach the parts securely. On this depends how long the box will last. Now the place of joining the doll with the plastic must be zadekorirovat. Take a lace length of 30 centimeters and sew it, attaching it to the satin ribbon. Tie up the skirt obtained at the waist of the pupa.

The next stage of making crafts is the design of the upper part of the doll's dress. The fabric peeping out from under the lace is cut from the top to the desired size, covering Barbie's chest. We sew the edges of the textile so that they are not worn out. We decorate them with lace. We glue the top of the dress to the pupa's body.

Making a hat

In an elegant headdress, our Barbie doll (casket) will be displayed. We will fulfill it with our own hands. To do this, satin ribbon length of 30 centimeters is collected on a string and tightened. In the center, leave a hole about 2 cm in diameter. The edges of the tape are sewn together. We collect the hair of the pupa into the tail, pass it through the hole in the cap. To keep the headdress firmly, on the inside, apply a few small drops of glue on it and attach it to the hair. Straighten the hair and the folds on the bonnet.

Final touches: design of the stand and connection of parts

How to make so that the doll-casket, the master class on manufacturing which is given to your attention, was steady? To do this, take the metal cover from the can and tighten it with crepe-satin. The inside of this part is lubricated with glue and we attach the bottom of the lower plastic blank to it.

Now we connect both parts of the article by sewing one to the other. Carry out this attachment in the place where the doll has a back.

Decorate the box with beads and small satin flowers, gluing them to the dress and hair of the doll. That's all. An original and very beautiful casket for storing jewelry is ready.

Doll-box "The Bride"

This version of the product can be an excellent gift for the bride at the bachelorette party or on the day of the wedding. Inside the box you can put some little present or money. We will do this craft from plastic deep plates. We need two of them. In addition, we prepare a small pupa, white satin, nylon lace of the same color, thread, needle, thin foam, decorative ornaments and a thermo-gun.

Description of the work process

Plastic plates are pasted with foam rubber on the inner and outer sides. At the doll, we remove our legs and cut off the lower part of the trunk with a sharp clerical knife. On one of the plates cut out a hole in foam rubber, we pour glue there. We insert the doll with a cut downwards and hold it with your hand until the glue grabs.

Next, we tighten the satin fabric and the upper and lower parts of the product. We decorate them with lace in the same way as described in the previous master class. We decorate the dress and the inner surface of the upper part of the casket with beads, paillettes, small ribbons.

Since the product is made in the form of a bride doll, she needs to make a veil on her head. For this, we sew lace between two or three tiers. Then we attach it to a narrow satin ribbon of white color, forming wrinkles. We decorate with small flowers, beads, beads. We tie the veil under the hair of the pupa. We fix together both parts of the product, stitching them inside in one place along the top edge. That's all. It remains to put a small surprise inside the casket and go to congratulate the bride.

Afterword

A vintage doll-casket (photo confirmation) looks elegant, beautiful and very original. Such a casket for saving jewelry will take a worthy place in your home, and can also become an exclusive gift for relatives and friends. We wish you a pleasant creative process and an excellent result!
