There are many different options for how to make pupae from shreds.
But as a game option - I like this one the most.

You will need:
A piece of white thick cotton (about 40 by 30)
Patchwork on the dress (approximately 20 to 20)
Patch for sleeves (approximately 17 by 17)
Threads
Wire
Book or thick cardboard.
Scissors
Pencils (I use watercolors)

In class, I immediately bring a lot of different shreds of all sizes and threads.
The kids choose.

Choosing threads for hair. We wind them on a book or cardboard.

We fold the white patch into a tube.

We cut the hair threads along the edge of the book (cardboard). We fold the threads and the tube as shown in the photo.

Then we cross the threads around the tube.

And fold it in half.

We wind the thread, forming a neck. Already at this stage, the toy comes to life)

We put a flap for the dress front side up, and put our workpiece on top, as shown in the photo.

We wrap it in a tube and feel for the neck. At this place we wind.

We twist.

Sleeves. We put the flap wrong side up. Cut the wire to size. We twist it into a tube along with the wire.

We attach the sleeves to the doll and wrap it with thread.

We form the palms by twisting the ends of the sleeves with a thread.

We draw the eyes and mouth of the doll.
Actually, this can already complete the work.
But it’s more interesting for the game if you make legs)

To do this, cut in half two pieces of white fabric. which is under the dress.

Today in the store you can buy any doll. But just not the way we make it. The master class will tell you how to make a doll from scraps with your own hands. This does not require special materials - just shreds of fabric left over from other works.

Tools and materials Time: 24 hours Difficulty: 7/10

thick cotton fabric - for the body of the doll;
shreds of bright fabric - for clothes;
shreds of felt: dark color - for hair, of blue color- for eyes;
thick woolen threads - for hair;
filler - batting or synthetic winterizer.

For example, you can sew a boy doll or a girl doll. Make hair from felt - short, from threads - long. And you can dress the doll in completely different ways: in shorts, and in a dress, and in a skirt with a jacket, etc. etc.

Step by step master class

So, let's begin!

Step 1: choose fabric

for the body of the doll it is better to use a dense cotton fabric(the denser the layers of stuffing material are laid, the stronger the cover should be); advice - when choosing a shade of fabric, you should avoid bright, saturated tones that coarsen the look of the doll;

If there is no fabric for the body of the desired color, you can “boil” it in tea: brew a tea bag in half a liter of water, lower the fabric there for 50-60 seconds, take it out, put it on a film so that the fabric cools down, wring it out and hang it on a rope - then there will be no streaks on the fabric

for hair, eyes and "boots" it is preferable to use felt;
for clothes fit absolutely any fabric.

Step 2: Pattern

First, let's deal with the pattern: with copy the photo to your computer, print it, cut out the patterns.

By enlarging or decreasing the pattern when printing, you will get a small or large doll.

For one doll we need: 2 parts for the head, 2 for the body, 4 for the arms, 4 for the legs, one for the hair.

Step 3: cut the main details

Lay out the patterns on the fabric. At the same time, make sure that the shared thread runs along their central axis (so the parts will not stretch much, and the doll itself will retain its shape). Circle the contours with a pencil or fasten the patterns to the fabric with pins. When cutting out the details, make an allowance for seams 0.5-0.8 cm wide around their entire perimeter.

Step 4: cutting and sewing additional details

If necessary, you can add additional details - we repeat, if necessary - since it is quite possible to do without them. For instance:

shirt pocket - just cut out a pocket-shaped piece from a piece of fabric (do not forget about the allowance), attach it to the body part (tucking the edges of the pocket - that's why we need an allowance), and then sew along all sides except for the top. Iron from the front and back side;

sleeves - cut a strip of fabric as wide as the sleeves, adjust the length yourself. Enclose the bottom edge by 0.5 cm, then again by the same 0.5 cm (so that the sleeve protrudes a little), sew the bottom edge. Then cut the strip to the upper edge of the arm piece diagonally, according to its shape. Sew the sleeve to the arm, along both sides. Repeat the same with the other 3 pieces for the arms (the front and back pieces for each piece will be mirror images of each other);

boots - for this, it is necessary to cut out the detail according to the shape of the lower edge of the leg, put upper edge, and then sew on it each "shoe" to lower part each part for the legs (applies to all four parts).

Versions additional details depend only on the imagination of the craftswoman. Here, for example, what "shoes" can be:

And you can assemble a doll from the following parts:

Or from these:

Step 5: sew on the hair

boy doll

Attach the hair to the blanks for the head, sew along the contour.
For a boy doll, sewing on hair was not difficult for us. But the girl will have to tinker.

doll with ponytails

Attach the hair to the blanks for the head, sew along the contour. Attach the threads (hair) on the sides and stitch to the workpiece in the way shown in the photo:

When the doll is ready, simply collect the hair with a ribbon.

Doll with long hair

Cut the hair fibers to one length. Place them evenly across the part and sew along the line. parting: to the back of the head - almost over the entire part, to the front - by 1/3. Leave 0.5 cm free from the edge (marked in red in the photo) - so that in the future it will be possible to sew both parts:

Let's jump ahead a little and note that when the doll is ready, you can collect the hair in ponytails or braid it. And so that the hair does not fall apart, wrap each tail with a thread and grab it with several seams to the fabric.

Whether we are sewing a doll-boy or a girl, in the end we should get such a set of blanks:

Step 6: doll face

We need circles for the eyes - 2 pieces.

Sew them in a circle to the blank for the face. Stitches are minimal (it is more convenient to sew).
The mouth is embroidered with pink or red threads.

Step 7: Gathering the Parts

Body and head details

we sew them together, the main thing here is not to make a mistake and sew it correctly - the face to the part with a pocket, to the back - the second side of the head.

Details for the arms (and legs)

turn the parts out (a pencil will help with this: gently push the part outward);

hands and feet are filled with padding polyester. Again, a pencil will help us with this - push the filler with it to the end of the part.

Adjust the amount of filler yourself. Just do not overdo it - the doll will turn out to be too stiff

Step 8: Sew on the arms and legs

Namely, to the back of the front. Place your hands 0.5 cm below the seam along which the head is sewn. Position your legs symmetrically to each other.

Now you need to sew the front and back of the doll together. Fold them right sides in. Then sew along the entire outer edge. We start and end the seam at the place where the leg begins.

Make a few cuts along the seam line on both sides of the neck/head (so that the pieces don't bulge).

Turn outside, fill with padding polyester through the bottom hole, sew.

Step 9: Clothes for the doll

We sew shorts for a boy, a skirt for a girl.

From two pieces of fabric, you need to cut out two blanks for future shorts (see the pattern in Step 1), and then it’s a matter of technique - we sew shorts.

It is even easier to sew a skirt: we sew two patches, tuck them from below and from above, lay a seam. Either from above or from below we stretch the elastic band. The skirt is ready.

Well, that's all, the doll is ready! We hope you enjoyed making it, and your child is happy that he has a toy unlike any other in the world. Good luck!

Dolls will always be children's favorite toys, not only because it is easy to create your own fake world with them, but because the variety of dolls is inexhaustible. In the whole world, dolls are made from different materials, colors and sizes, they are mass-produced by large corporations, the authors create single copies of dolls, and simple needlewomen are able to create an unthinkable miracle for their children - to make a doll, putting all the love and care into it. You will learn how to make a rag doll with your own hands using patterns below in the material.

As it turned out, the most in a simple way to make a doll is to sew it. Rag dolls have always been and will always be in fashion. Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers sewed dolls, Russian girls were engaged in needlework, embroidery and decorated doll outfits, and now ladies are very fond of making lovely dolls from a large selection of fabrics and threads.

Making cute rag dolls does not require special craftsmanship or DIY skills, a basic knowledge of sewing and pattern is enough. Materials can also be prepared from the remnants of fabrics, old, but in good condition clothes, pieces faux leather or fur, and even old wigs can come in handy for creating doll hair.

Let's start with a master class on creating a rag doll

Without a doubt, every needlewoman will be able to sew a rag doll with her own hands with patterns, because patterns are the best assistant. Correctly drawn patterns guarantee a beautiful and impeccable result.

Below is an example of a pattern by which you can sew such a cute baby without any extra effort:

1) Take 2 types of fabric - colored for the body, arms and legs, flesh - for the face.

2) We cut out the required number of parts according to the patterns.

We put the pattern of the head on a light fabric, the rest - on a colored one.

The patterns themselves always indicate the number of necessary parts, so you can either cut the right amount or simply fold the fabric in half, fasten it with needles and the work will be half as much.

3) We sew the patterns together separately - the torso, arms, legs, head, while leaving a place for stuffing the doll with filler (it is better to use a synthetic winterizer).

4) We stuff the doll and sew the parts to each other - the doll is ready!

5) Denote the eyes and cheeks on the face with acrylic paints or cosmetics.

This simple doll is sewn according to the same principles:

As well as many other toys.

By the way, rag dolls they do not have to look like people, figures of animals or fictional characters are also sewn from fabric using the same technique using the necessary patterns.

We make Russian matryas with our own hands according to patterns

Dolls have always been reflected in the era of time. In Russia, dolls were given a magical meaning, according to which she was not only the keeper of the home and family hearth, but could also fulfill conceived desires or protect a person from black forces. Keeping the traditions of our ancestors, we will consider a master class on creating Russian rag dolls, which can also be made from fabric cuts and, of course, red threads. For some dolls, straw or twine is used. According to old beliefs, a doll must be made without the use of scissors and needles, so consider traditional version for the manufacture of a doll-amulet - a plantain, which brings good luck in travelling, and the second way to decorate and decorate the house is to make a simple rag doll-bell according to patterns in a Russian outfit.

Doll-amulet plantain.

It is better not to cut the scraps of fabric with scissors, but to tear them with your hands into squares of the desired size.

Let's prepare a small square of light fabric, put some cotton wool or rags in it.

This will be the head, we tie it with a red thread, we straighten the remnants of the fabric.

We tie a satin ribbon on the head. If the tape does not hold well, you can fix it around the neck with a thread.

We dress the doll - we tie a sundress from a flap of square colored fabric around the body and also fasten it with threads around the neck.

The main feature of this doll is a knot, which should always be with her. You can put something in it that reminds you of home. Previously, they put a piece of bread or crackers, ashes from a home oven, now you can put a handful of cereals.

We make hands from a piece of white fabric, folding it into a tube.

We tie the resulting part around the neck of the doll.

We tie the bag to the hands with a thread.

With the final touch we tie a scarf on the head of the plantain.
