Watch the master class online: One, two stitches

Everyone knows the nesting doll. Russia is associated with it. You can buy it for a lot of money in almost every souvenir shop. If you really want to, you can make a matryoshka doll yourself, spending much less money.

The most beautiful nesting dolls are plasticine or made using the papier-mâché technique. Looking at the photo of a homemade nesting doll, you can safely say that it is quite easy and simple to make, even with small children!

Plasticine matryoshka

To do this, you will need the most ordinary plasticine, which is used by children in kindergartens or schools. You will need a couple of pieces of multi-colored plasticine, a special tool for cutting (most often it is found in boxes with plasticine), a working panel made of wood or plastic, matches and a teaspoon.

We need to make a silhouette of a matryoshka doll. To do this you will need one of the large pieces of plasticine.

To shape the face, you need to take a teaspoon and form an oval dent. It is necessary to place a rolled small ball of white plasticine into it.

You need to flatten the ball so that it becomes a light oval. An important nuance is that the entire figure must remain intact.

Using matches you need to make holes for the eyes. The eyes are tiny balls of dark plasticine.

If the child wants, you can help him with acrylic paints and decorate the nesting doll. Children usually have a lot of ideas for making crafts.

Parents can find not only ideas and instructions for making nesting dolls, but also take part in this wonderful action.

How I sew Matryoshka.
Master class on textile matryoshka dolls. Photos by userLydia_Kalambet

Matryoshka height 20 cm, circumference 26 cm. Cotton fabric.

Matryoshka doll pattern assembled.

Pattern details.

We select the fabric, it is desirable that the color of the fabric is harmonious with each other.

We lay out the pattern on the wrong side of the fabric and trace it (with a pencil, tailor’s chalk, or like me, with a gel pen). I love thin lines, the pattern turns out more accurate, and this is important when sewing small toys.

We cut two parts of the lower part of the nesting doll in a mirror image.

We cut the upper part of the nesting doll part. Two details.

Sew the pattern pieces together and press the seam allowances to one side. If it is difficult to sew right away on a machine, you can first baste it by hand.

We correct the sewn and ironed parts by applying the main pattern and the irregularities need to be cut off.

We cut the face of the nesting doll. I cut it from knitted fabric, pre-gluing it with non-woven fabric, so it’s easier to work with it.

To attach the face to the main part of the nesting doll (you can also sew it on), I use double-sided non-woven fabric.

From double-sided non-woven fabric I cut out the same circle as the face.

I put a double-sided interlining on the part and a face on it.

I smooth it with an iron through clean paper.

The face is well glued.

After this, I sew together both parts of the nesting doll, having previously chipped with pins the places where the parts fit exactly together.

The seam is laid exactly along the line drawn when cutting the fabric.

Having retreated 0.5 - 0.7 mm from the seam, we cut off the excess edge; if the nesting doll is sewn from knitwear, then we have retreated 0.4 mm from the seam. Leave the bottom of the nesting doll open.

We turn and straighten the workpiece using a special device or any other. I like to use a medical clamp for this purpose. You can also use long tweezers. We fill it with filler (holofiber, padding polyester, cotton wool).

When the matryoshka blank is filled, we sew up the open cut as follows: stepping back 1 cm from the edge, sew it in a circle with basting stitches and tighten it.

When tightening, tuck the edge inward with your finger and then pull it all the way. I use white thread so that the seam is visible, but the thread needs to be matched to the color of the fabric.

When it is pulled together and sewn up, press with your finger in the middle and use a thick needle to pump the filler onto the side edges of the nesting doll.

The bottom of the nesting doll turns out like this, not quite beautiful, but all this will be covered with further processing.

The matryoshka doll is ready.

Let's start drawing the face. You can draw with acrylic paints on fabric, watercolors or gouache with PVA glue, or, like me, with gel pens for tattooing children. Well, if these pens can be used to draw a child’s body, then drawing a matryoshka doll is just right, without harm to the children.

I'm starting with the eyes...

For white highlights, you can use a text corrector.

There is a lot of information on the Internet on how to draw a face for a doll, if you ask this question in the address bar. There are many ways and everyone can choose the one they like.

And now the best part - the design. We take out all sorts of ribbons, bows, frills from our boxes and chests... and begin to apply and try them on. You can embroider or make flowers and bows yourself... In general, use your imagination...

For gluing, I use a glue gun, it’s very convenient, but thin and small parts can be glued with colorless waterproof Moment glue.

And most importantly, the nesting doll must stand! To do this, cut out a round piece from cardboard or plastic. Its size should be no larger than the circumference of the matryoshka doll.

We select the color of the fabric, preferably knitwear, and cut out a larger round piece.

Using basting stitches, we sew in a circle and pull together tightly. We fasten the thread without tearing it off...

We attach it to the bottom of the nesting dolls and sew it with hidden stitches twice to make it secure and beautiful.

That's all. My collection has been replenished with another nesting doll.

Good luck!

Paper dolls

To make a paper matryoshka doll, you should take:

Cardboard of different colors.
Velvet paper.
Stencil (can be prepared in advance).
Scissors.
Plain paper.
Pencils or paints.
Glue.
A simple pencil.

If you plan to work with small children, make sure you have scissors that have rounded tips. It is necessary to remember that with small children you need to put a small amount of glue onto the brush.

In order to stick the part, you can use a soft cloth. If glue accidentally gets on your hands or eyes, you should immediately rinse with running water and consult a doctor.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make a matryoshka doll from paper

You need to attach a pre-prepared matryoshka stencil to the back of the cardboard.
Next, you should outline it with a simple pencil.
Using scissors, the outline should be cut out of cardboard - we have a blank.
On white paper you need to draw a circle and cut it out. This will be the face of the nesting doll.
You should glue the circle onto a colored cardboard blank.
You need to cut out a rectangle from velvet paper. Its width should not be greater than the width of the matryoshka doll.
The rectangle needs to be glued onto a cardboard matryoshka blank.
You need to cut strips from plain white paper. The width is arbitrary.
Using a hole punch, you need to make holes throughout the entire strip.
Using embossed scissors, you need to make a small pattern on one side of the strip.
Next, glue the strips on three sides of the rectangle. The result is a matryoshka apron!
Using pencils, felt-tip pens or paints, you need to draw the face of the nesting doll.

If you still have a desire to create and some available materials, you can make blanks for future patterns. They can be used to decorate a matryoshka apron. Kids love to glue things like this. As you can see, this is not at all a difficult task, how to make a do-it-yourself doll craft with your children.

An important nuance - given that some parts can be quite small, you should more carefully monitor children and what they pick up.

You should not give your child scissors that are intended for adults. For children, there are models with rounded tips.

It is imperative to ensure that children do not put small parts (paper, remnants of fabric or ribbons) into their mouths, and also keep glue away from them.

True, the translation of the word - the name of this toy - cannot be found in any dictionary in the world. But everyone knows what it is. For example, in Germany they call her differently: “Grandmothers”, “Mommies” or even “Aunt Olya”. But in Rus' they came up with a riddle about this toy: Wooden girlfriends are so similar to each other. There are many of them or a little, But their names are all... (MATRYOSHKA) But where did this name come from - matryoshka? (Children's statements) Some historians claim that this name comes from the beloved and common names in Rus' Masha, Manya, Matryoshenka; others believe that this name comes from the female name Matryona (translated from Latin mater - mother), and still others believe that the name “matryoshka” is associated with the name of the Hindu mother goddess Matri. Well, the most important thing is this doll with a secret: Is this a dream or reality - I can’t understand at all. There was one nesting doll here, and now there are seven of them. Seven wooden dolls, multi-colored and ruddy, live on our table, they are all called matryoshka dolls. We played, frolicked and all fit into one! Can you guess what our topic will be today?

3.	Explanation of new material.	~5 min	The first Russian nesting doll was carved and painted in a Moscow toy workshop only in the 90s of the 19th century, based on a model brought from Japan. This Japanese example, made with great humor, consisted of many figures of the Japanese sage Fukuruma inserted into each other - a bald old man with his head stretched up from numerous thoughts. Toy turner Vasily Zvezdochkin carved the first Russian nesting doll. What do you think a matryoshka is made of? (made of wood) What do you use to paint a matryoshka doll? (Gouache) From the walls of the “Children's Education” workshop, founded by philanthropist Savva Mamontov, came a beautiful, rosy-cheeked maiden painted in gouache with a rooster in her hands, which became the first nesting doll made in Russia. The sketch for its painting was created by the artist Sergei Malyutin, who painted the nesting doll himself. The first nesting doll was eight-seater - inside the big girl there was a smaller boy, and so on - boys and girls alternated, and the smallest, “indivisible” doll was a swaddled baby.	The teachers are listening.	P: process the information received, draw conclusions. K: listen and understand the speech of others.

Do not cut with scissors on the go, do not approach your friends while cutting, do not leave the scissors open. Pass the scissors only closed, with the rings facing your friend. When working with scissors, watch the fingers of your left hand. Place the scissors on the desk so that they do not hang over the edge of the desk.
