Every favorite doll has wonderful dresses, shoes, handbags, even jewelry in her arsenal. All this is available in toy stores. But it happens that there is no opportunity to purchase accessories - the prices are often unreasonably high. But it is possible to connect your imagination, collect the necessary tools and create a unique product yourself. Here, for example, umbrellas - there are never too many of them! How to make an umbrella for a Barbie doll? Let's figure it out together!
How to make a small umbrella for a doll
To work on its creation, you will need to prepare:
- pieces of thick wire;
- second glue;
- a little polymer clay;
- needle and thread;
- glue web;
- material.
Also don't forget pliers, scissors and an iron.
Cut off a piece of wire about 14 cm long and bend 1 edge, forming a hook. We sculpt a handle and a tip in the form of a sharp cone from a piece of plastic, send it to dry, focusing on the instructions attached to the clay. The cane-base of the umbrella was made.
Next, we take the matter and cut out a square piece from it, with a side length of 28 cm. In the diagonal direction, fold it four times and cut it with a smooth line. In the unfolded state, we get a circle.
Let's start processing the edge - you can do this in various ways: stitch with an overlock, trim with a lace strip, melt with fire (if the fabric allows), or you can just tuck it. The best option here is to glue the "cobweb" into the fold of the fabric with a hot iron.
Then let's start working on the edges of the umbrella. This is done through one fold in different directions. In this place, it is worth doing the decor of the canvas - beads, beads, sequins, ribbons - anything of your choice!
Insert a cane into the center of the dome, first pierce the middle of the fabric with an awl, and glue a clay cone on top. We will smear its bottom with thick glue (gel is perfect) and glue the fabric of the dome. The density of the adhesive is important because liquid can saturate the fabric and spoil the appearance of the product.
Spread the folds and with a needle and thread connect those that are directed towards the center. Wind the end of the thread around the "cane" and drip glue.
The umbrella turned out to be folded, roll it up a little and secure with a ribbon or a small elastic band.
That's it. Our miniature accessory is ready.
Paper rainbow umbrella
Volumetric umbrellas made of paper are beautiful and bright. They can decorate a room for a children's party, or you can give itdoll. Do needlework with your child - this is an easy job, and the baby will be immensely pleased. So how to make a paper umbrella for a doll?
Prepare the following tools right away so you don't get distracted later:
- multi-colored sheets of thick paper;
- cocktail straw with "spring" for folding;
- adhesive tape;
- pencils, compasses.
Glue the parts with glue that "sets" well and dries quickly.
At the very beginning of the process, cut out a few circles from paper - from 14 to 22 pieces. It all depends on the size and brightness of the craft.
Now each round figure will have to be folded twice to get a quarter. Iron the folds very carefully or press with something heavy. Glue the top part in the middle without touching the bottom.
Then glue the right corners to each other sequentially, in the order that you like. After you have connected all the parts, you can put it under oppression. After some time, it will be necessary to close the "dome" by gluing the first and last parts. So, the top is ready.
For a pen, take a straw and attach a piece of double-sided tape to its straight part. After removing the top protective layer, insert into the dome and press. Bend the bottom - this is the umbrella handle.
Here's how to make a DIY umbrella for your doll. From colored paper - easily!
3D parasol
And then let's get down to the more serious work of making a realistic umbrella. We will have it open.and more interesting.
You will need:
- dome material is thin and stretchy;
- polymer clay;
- plastic paint;
- skein of thread;
- beads;
- thick wire - you can use studs, old knitting needles;
- short rubber tube, you can use a dropper;
- lace elastic band.
Everything, stocked up with materials. So how to make an umbrella with your own hands for a doll? Let's get started.
Pieces of wire, cut into pieces of such a length as the spokes of an umbrella will be, plus 1.5 cm, bend slightly, and bend one edge 1.5 cm long at a right angle. Six such details are enough for us.
Cut off the part for the handle and attach the knitting needles to it with a piece of a dropper. We distribute evenly and drip glue into the center. Again, ideally - gel, in a small tube.
Knead the clay and paste it over the junction of the handle and knitting needles. You can make a pen out of it, but dry it separately.
After we take it out of the oven and with a fine sandpaper we process the surface of the clay. Color the cane and knitting needles in the desired shade.
Next we need a part for sewing the dome. This is done as follows: we circle one part between the knitting needles, getting a triangular figure with rounded sides. Cut out and attach to the frame. Adjust until all unnecessary parts are removed.
Cut out the fabric, leaving an allowance of 0.5 cm on each side. We sew all parts, and stretch the bottom and sew on an elastic band - lace. We cut the fabric at the seams veryclose to line. Attach beads at the ends of the seams.
We take the frame of the umbrella and from the edge where the handle will be, string 5 beads, gluing with glue. The cane itself can be wrapped in ribbon or painted with nail polish.
Well, almost everything. Stretch the dome on the frame, pierce the fabric in the middle, glue it and put a bead on top. The fabric can be tacked with stitches so that it does not move out.
Here we have such an umbrella. Almost like the real one.
How to make an umbrella for a fashion doll?
And for a glamorous and stylish doll, you can create a gorgeous elegant accessory.
Before you make your own umbrella for the doll, consider what result you would like to get. Choose a material with the appropriate pattern and texture, design the top and handle decor.
Materials are standard, already described above - scraps of fabric, wire, lace, glue, decor.
From the wire (you can use floral) cut off a piece of 13 cm.
A circle of nine centimeters in diameter is cut out of the material and stitched in a zigzag along the edge.
Flounce is made from a lace strip and attached to the fabric. In the center, the dome of the umbrella is reinforced with a piece of non-woven fabric.
The resulting part is marked with pins into sectors - 6 or 8. Here we glue toothpicks imitating knitting needles. Don't forget to remove the sharp end. Attach beads to their ends.
Next, you need to wind a satin ribbon onto the wire, carefully gluing it.
We pierce the fabric of the dome in the middle and insertprepared wire. We coat its end with glue and fix it with a bead on top.
Folds adjacent to the handle, secure with glue or thread. We bend the end of the cane, and wrap the dome around and tie it with a satin ribbon.
That's it, the doll can go for a walk!
Walking thread umbrella
How to do? Do-it-yourself umbrella for a doll does not have to be complicated and pretentious. It is enough to take what is in your house.
For example, an umbrella made of thread will turn out very gentle.
It will require strong wire and threads of any color. The texture of the threads should be thin and dense, without lint.
The frame is formed in the same way as for a three-dimensional umbrella, although you can go the easier way. Just twist the pieces of wire together, attaching the needles to the handle. Then dark-colored yarn is taken and carefully, without gaps, a wire-handle is wrapped around, which is periodically smeared with glue.
Threads of a brighter color, starting from the center of the dome, wrap the entire surface of the umbrella. You can pick up several shades that match each other and alternate them with each other - this way you get a bright striped umbrella.
Knitted umbrella
This method is perfect for those who know how to crochet.
The remnants of thin threads will come in handy.
The frame can be created from wire. Taking 3 or 4 pieces 9 cm long, fold together and twist in the middle. Spread the "knitting needles" of the future umbrella in different directions. Now cut offanother piece of wire 20 cm long and, folding in half, screw it to the middle of the first twist - this is the handle. Wrap it with threads, ribbon, glue it with polymer clay, etc.
Crochet the dome in any round crochet pattern.
It remains to attach it to the frame, grabbing with small stitches, and decorate with beads.
This umbrella will not leave anyone indifferent!
