Important! No need to buy a finished dress for the doll. During the manufacture of caskets, Barbie clothes are made independently.
What you need to take to work?
The main material for a do-it-yourself kanzashi box is a doll. You can take Barbie, whose legs are broken, in the process of sewing still have to remove them. It will be more convenient to work with a plastic toy. So you can remove the hands and torso, to pay attention to details in the manufacture.
For the base of the box take a bucket from mayonnaise, a bottle or other containers. From them will depend on the size of the future product. For tight bonding between parts, pick up high-quality glue. Better to take glue rods with a gun. The result is a durable and durable casket.
They also take scissors, needle and thread, a knife and markers for marking the sizes. As for the decoration of the box, it all depends on the ideas of the master. These may include the following materials:
- tapes;
- lace;
- synthetic winterizer;
- various fabrics, for example, atlas;
- organza;
- decorating elements (glitter, beads, buttons, etc.).
Casket of scrap materials
To make a beautiful box of Barbie dolls, you need to prepare a workplace. Allocate a table for work and provide themselves with all the necessary materials. Now consider a phased algorithm for creating a box from a bucket.
- Take any bucket of medium size, for example, from under mayonnaise.The inside of the paste with a soft cloth or cotton pad, so as not to spoil the future contents. The outer part is covered with a cloth of the chosen color.
- The lid from the bucket is used to fasten a doll on it. Barbie's legs are cut off and glued to the lid with a glue gun.
- The skirt is made of foam rubber, the length of the coverage cap. The upper part of the foam rubber is attached to the waist of the pupa, forming the top of the dress. Cut the required amount of fabric and sew on the workpiece.
- To close the hole under the doll, take a small piece of cardboard and wrap it with the same cloth as the girl's skirt. Next, attach the finished element to the bottom of the finished cover.
- The final stage involves attaching the lid to the base of the box. They can be sewn with plain threads, and sewed with beads.
Note! If the pupa is made with a turning waist, then it must be fixed. So the casket will be more practical and last longer.
Now you can safely begin to decorate. The basis of the product is decorated with lace, complementing the skirt of the princess. You can sew gloves to the girl’s hands to match the color of the dress, and add a small bow to the back. Masters weave Barbie elegant hairstyles and put on their own made hats. This is a beautiful jewelry storage box.
Making a doll box from a bottle
In order not to throw out the used bottles, you can make a homemade box from a Barbie doll with your own hands. This idea for needlework is even easier than working with a bucket. Take the bottle and cut it into two parts. The bottom one is the base for the tank, and the top one is the lid on which the doll will be attached.
Barbie without legs is glued to the neck of the bottle, fixing the waist with glue. The bottle itself is covered with a piece of cloth that will be the beginning of the dress. The casket capacity is refined inside with foam rubber or cotton so that the inside is soft. Outwardly, everything is also pasted with a cloth.
Now go to the stage of decoration. Here you can turn on the fantasy and apply all sorts of decorative elements. Lace is glued to the bottom of the skirt. To beautifully beat the waist, tie a bow with a small tape. Separately sew a hat, perhaps by adding a small decorative feather.
Kanzashi technique for creating jewelry
The kanzashi technique is the whole art that was invented in Japan. It involves the origami process, but using silk. The basis of this technique is the folding of triangles from individual fabric cuts. Dolls-boxes using kanzashi style will gain a new life.
To make decorative elements for Barbie using kanzashi technique, you need a small amount of fabric, scissors, glue and threads with a needle. Silk flowers look best. For example, we will make MC for making a flower with round petals.
We fold in half square cutting fabric.Fold the corners down to the bottom to get a rhombus. Turn the blank upside down, and the angles to the center of the diamond. We fold it in half. Next, straighten the petal, holding the bend.
The seamy side is treated with glue, connecting the corners to each other. Excess fabric needs to be cut so that the flower looks neat. Make a few of these petals. The last stage - the combination of petals in a single flower.
Conclusion
The doll box will become a real home decoration and an indispensable tool for storing jewelry. The kanzashi technique allows you to make unusual decorations on the Barbie box at home with your own hands.
