NEEDLE BOX IN THE FORM OF BABA YAGA

Send

I love all kinds of needle beds, especially when they are made in the form of a toy or interior item. We will make a needle bed from a cut off pepsikol bottle of 0.5 l.

We cut with a knife a part of the top from the bottle. It will be a torso with a head.

We fill the inside with a crumpled newspaper. This is done so that our Baba Yaga later does not deform when she is held in her hand.

Put on a sheet of synthetic winterizer or batting. We select the size of the material so that then when wrapping it with a bottle, you could tie a thread at the base of the neck.

We wrap our bottle with padding polyester and tie it. We spread the material so that the surface is round and smooth.

Do the same with white cloth. The choice of fabric is not critical if a non-translucent head tissue is then used.

We turn off the ends of the fabric and additionally add a synthetic winterizer on the neck, fixing it with threads.

Inside the bottle we fill the ends of the fabric and fix it with threads if they do not stick by themselves.

We cut and sew the canvas for the dress and apron. Although this is Baba Yaga, you can still decorate her robe with something.

Since we are making a needle bed, we need a pillow into which we can stick needles. We recall that this character has a hump; we will use him as a pillow for needles. Therefore, we cut out a polygon with slightly inclined edges, and we sew the back seam at the dress.

We connect the hump in the short part between the inclined sides, fill it with a synthetic winterizer and sew it on a typewriter in the center along the seam on the dress.

On a string we collect a dress.

We dress it on the workpiece, tighten the thread around the neck and fix it. We do the same with an apron.

We cut out a flap for the head and hands.

We begin to shape the face. First, we sprinkle the fabric on the head in the center.

We make folds to form the face and neck. Twist the thread around the neck.

We form hands. We tie the ends with beautiful thick thread, trim the ends evenly. We turn everything else inward and fix with threads so that nothing falls out during operation.

This is what we should already be able to do at this stage.

Without a hooked nose, Baba Yaga is not Baba Yaga! To do it, cut a small piece of thin wire and cut a fabric 2 times longer along the oblique thread.

Fold the fabric in half, pierce it with wire at one end and bend it with pliers to hold it. And then wrap the wire with tape and fix it at the end.

Sew the nose on the crown, and glue the tip of it and press it with threads to fix it.

While the glue on the nose dries, prepare the yarn for the hair. I used a twisted tow.

Dismantled it into fibers, and made a blank for a broom from a pair of ropes.

Sewed hair to the crown, let it go forward. I made a broom from a twisted blank, put the shaft on glue inside the bundle and squeezed it from all sides.
