Maslenitsa is the holiday of the birth of the sun, which has been celebrated since ancient times. One of the main symbols of the holiday is the pancake. It is associated with the sun and is a kind of amulet for the home from harm.

But don’t forget about other symbols, such as the scarecrow and Maslenitsa doll, and Maslenitsa crafts made from straw and wheat.

DIY yarn sun

This sun is called “Yarilo”. It can be easily made at home.

You will need:

• tapes different colors, width 0.5;
• yellow thread or yarn;
• cardboard circle;
• glue;
• gypsy needle or awl;
• colored paper for eyes, nose and mouth.

Use an awl to make a hole in the center of the cardboard circle. Cut the yellow thread or yarn to the same length. Apply glue to the entire cardboard circle. Without letting it dry, we begin to form the sun. To do this, you need to thread yarn through a gypsy needle and push it through the hole in the circle. But not to the end, but only to the middle of the thread, after which we put the threads on the cardboard and press down so that the threads are grabbed with glue.

Now we continue to repeat this process until the sun is completely covered with threads and the cardboard is visible.

Then let the glue dry and glue the threads together.

When the glue is completely dry, you can start making rays of the sun. Distribute all non-glued threads that remain outside the circle into even bundles and tie them with satin or silk ribbons of different colors. The more flowers there are, the brighter and more beautiful the sun will be.

After all the work done, all that remains is to make the face of the sun. It needs to be cut out of paper of different colors and glued to the threads with glue.

That's it. Everything is ready. This decoration can be hung on a wall or door as a decoration and also as a talisman.

Baba on Maslenitsa

Such a woman is also a symbol of the sun. The turn of the skirt represents a bracelet - one of the ancient symbols of the sun. Hands raised up means sun worship.

• white fabric;
• multi-colored fabric for a skirt;
• red fabric for a scarf;
• pins;
• cotton wool;
• red thread.

We cut out a 20x20 cm square from white fabric; it will serve as the woman’s body. Then we cut off two more squares measuring 10x10 cm, from which the doll’s hands will be made later.

You will need two more pieces of fabric, but this time not white, but colored - 20x20 cm, from which you will make a skirt.

Don't forget about the scarf for Maslenitsa. It needs to be cut from red fabric, with the largest side approximately 12 cm.

The doll's head will be made of cotton wool or padding polyester.

We form a not very large ball and place it in the center of a white fabric measuring 20x20 cm.

Then we wrap a cloth around the cotton wool and tie it lightly with red thread.

This will serve as a guide for the neck and keep the cotton in the middle of the fabric.

The thread should be wound only clockwise, in the direction of the sun. This should be done in order for the amulet to be successful.

Let's start with the sleeves. We take small white squares of fabric 10x10 cm, wrap a small triangle on top.

To the right and left of it we wrap the edges by 1-2 cm, after which we again wrap them in the middle, and fasten both edges together so that they do not separate. We do the same with the second square.

The edges of the handles should be wrapped with red thread so that it looks like sleeves.

Now you should fasten your hands to the woman’s body. We take our “hands” so that they are raised up.

We insert it between the folds of the body fabric and wrap it clockwise with the fabric.

This process will be a little difficult for beginners, but with a little practice, such temporary difficulties will not bother the master.

It's time to take up the skirt. We fold both squares into triangles and place them on top of each other.

We place the doll with the hands intertwined on the crosshairs of the fabric.

First, we wrap the left triangle so that it does not cover the doll’s hands.

We put the right triangle on top, as if overlapping.

Then we wrap both triangles to the end and tie them with red thread clockwise.

Now all that remains is to tie the red scarf on the doll’s head. That's all, DIY Maslenitsa is ready.

DIY crafts for Maslenitsa

You can make a couple of dolls, they are very interesting to make. They can be made by both adults and children.

For these dolls you will need:

• red yarn – 1-1.5 m;
• multi-colored threads
• scissors;
• cardboard square 10x10 cm.

First you need to decide on the sequence of thread application.

Place them in the correct queue.

We wind the threads tightly onto the cardboard, gradually changing one color to another, so that the doll is beautiful and colorful.

Carefully remove the threads from the cardboard, tie it on one side with a thread, and cut it on the opposite side.

Align the colors and trim the edges if necessary.

Now you should do the doll's hairstyle. To do this, threads of the same tone need to be woven into a braid twice the length of the doll. We attach the braid to the base of the doll and do the hairstyle.

We pull the neck tightly with a thread, the head should be round and not large in size.

Let's start making hands. In the same way as when making the body, we wind the threads onto the cardboard, alternately changing color scheme. Can be made from other colors, completely different from the color of the body.

We remove the threads from the cardboard, and thread a red thread on both sides, tying them tightly.

Using the same red thread, we tie the edges of the hands to make fists.

We put handles between the two halves of the body and fasten them there with thread, making a waist.

To add another iconic amulet, we tie the doll’s body crosswise with red acrylic thread.

We wrap the thread around the neck in one direction and the waist in the other.

It can be knitted several times, adding some kind of belt with tassels. We straighten the skirt, and the first doll is ready.

Let's start making the second doll.

The manufacturing process is the same as the first one. But the hairstyle is done differently.

We make a bunch of threads and tie it with a knot in the middle. We attach it to the place of the future head.

The head is made in the same way as its predecessor, only the hair is tucked in differently and secured with red thread.

We make the body and arms according to the already known process. We distribute the bundle going from the body down into two equal parts.

We tie each of them, making feet. You can make a shirt by slightly cutting off the first three rows of threads coming from the body, on both sides.

We connect the dolls together with thread.

Everything is ready, such a talisman can be presented to a couple, wishing to strengthen the relationship.

What can you make for Maslenitsa with your own hands?

There are the most various options crafts that can be easily done at home. Previously, on Maslenitsa they made small dolls in a scarf and a colorful dress; they personified solstice.

It is very easy to make such a charming doll yourself. You can involve children in production.

For production you will need:

• scraps of fabric (two white for the head and hands,
• two different colors for the dress and a red one for the headscarf),
• a piece of padding polyester or cotton wool,
• thick thread (preferably red).

For the head, a piece of padding polyester is wrapped in a white flap so that the ends of the flap hang freely. The “head” is wrapped with thread, all folds are carefully pulled back, and a scarf will cover them. Hands are made from a second white piece of fabric according to the same principle as the head: padding polyester or cotton wool is wrapped in a “sausage” in fabric and secured with a thread to the head so that hands are formed. After that no need to break the thread– you will need it to attach the skirt.

The colorful pieces are wrapped in a skirt around the doll’s body and also secured with threads. The red flap is tied on the head with a scarf. You can even use sponge for decoration. The doll is ready!

The main symbol of Maslenitsa is considered to be an effigy of winter, which, according to the old custom, is burned, signaling the arrival of the long-awaited spring.

Usually for this holiday they make little dolls, personifying winter. They are made from the most different materials: floss threads, corn cobs, various fabrics and fillers.

But handmade gifts for Maslenitsa can be made not only from fabric and thread. You can bake a very interesting and beautiful gift. For example, a sun made from salt dough. This vi d dough is not suitable for human consumption, but great for sculpting.

To prepare the salt dough we take:

• 1 glass of salt;
• 2 cups flour;
• 250 ml water.

The process of preparing salted dough sunshine:

1. Mix flour and salt, then add water a little at a time.
2. Mix all ingredients into a dense mass.
3. From the dough we make a pancake a little larger than the size of the sun (we leave a little dough for the spout, eyes and other elements that you want to add).
4. Draw a sun template on a piece of paper, cut it out and place it on the pancake. Using a stack, kitchen or stationery knife, cut out a sun along the contour.
5. From the remaining dough we make any small details: eyes, nose, bows, etc.
6. We bake the workpiece in the oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes. Since every housewife has an oven with its own character, carefully monitor the process so that the workpiece only browns, but does not burn!
7. After cooling, the workpiece can be painted ordinary paints in the desired color. In the case of the sun it will be yellow or orange.

Puff pastry sun

Salt dough can be used for figurines, making entire sculptural compositions.

Maslenitsa souvenirs for school: what crafts can be made for the Maslenitsa holidays?

Most often, paper is used as a material - it is used to make appliques, crafts using the quilling technique or postcards.

The Maslenitsa theme offers a wide range of themes for crafts: the sun, pancakes, the departure of winter - the arrival of spring and many other similar ones

From an ordinary CD and paper you can make a very cute sun craft! To make such a craft, you will need: an unnecessary CD, yellow and orange colored paper, scissors, glue.

Paper is cut into small strips, which are folded into a loop, the ends of the strip are glued together. Glue loops are attached along the edges of the disk in two rows, so that the yellow ones are located closer to the center of the disk than the orange ones. A circle of yellow paper is glued to the center and a face is drawn on it. The sun is ready.

Crafts made from colored plasticine are also suitable as a DIY souvenir for Maslenitsa. Using the same CD As a basis, you can sculpt a beautiful spring-themed panel, decorating it with plasticine flowers and leaves.

An interesting and unusual spring craft is made from ears of wheat, if you can get a handful of ears.

You need to cut out two circles from ordinary cardboard - one larger than the other. On the larger circle, draw a circle with a diameter small circle. Glued onto cardboard wheat ears, one to one, placing them close to each other in a circle. After this, a smaller circle is glued on top, so as to cover the “legs” of the spikelets. Above the craft can be decorated as desired.

However, the most important decoration of any home for Maslenitsa remains, of course, pancakes.

You can also make crafts from them: build a house or a well out of pancakes (instead of water in such a well, you can use a bowl of sour cream or jam), dress dolls in pancake clothes, cut out figures or wrap them in the form of a doll.

Carnival- one of the few remaining Slavic holidays that have come down to modern times from ancient times.

The bright Maslenitsa, which came to us from ancient times, brings not only the “birth” of the sun, Yaril, but also warmth, spring, fun and laughter, a readiness to begin again field work to the joy of ourselves and our entire family!

Children are always very sensitive to everything that brings light, joy, sincerity, and from the Maslenitsa holiday they expect not only rosy-cheeked pancakes and a fiery show, but also some pleasant surprises!

So let's make some fun crafts for Maslenitsa for our children!

The first craft will be the sun, called Yaril in ancient Slavic!

This amulet craft is made from regular threads for knitting and bright ribbons!
You can make “Yarilo” together with your children - it will be more fun and interesting!
So let's get started!

Prepare the following materials for the sun craft:

• Pieces of bright satin ribbons of different colors, 0.5 cm wide;
• Bright yellow wool threads for the sun;
• A cardboard circle of approximately the same diameter as you intend to make the craft;
• PVA glue;
• Awl, or gypsy needle;
• Pieces of blue and red, blue and pink colored paper, for the eyes, mouth and nose, respectively.

Let's start creating:

1. Take an awl in your hands and use it to make a small hole in the very center of the cardboard circle;
2. Now we take and cut the yellow yarn into equal thread lengths. To determine how long the threads should be, measure the diameter of the circle and add the length of the ray to it!
3. Lubricate the entire cardboard blank with PVA glue and until the glue dries, move on to the next stage - form a sun from threads;
4. To do this, thread a piece of yellow2 yarn into the gypsy needle and push it through the hole. Then we leave one half of the thread on one side of the cardboard, and the other on the other. We beautifully lay the threads on the cardboard and press down so that the rays “grab” on the glue. We repeat this procedure until our Yarilo is completely covered with bright rays. Let the glue dry completely, and the threads will stick firmly!

5. Ours is ready for the next stage - the formation of volumetric rays from many threads. We need to distribute all the threads into even rays and tie them, right behind the cardboard base, with bright satin ribbons! The more colors predominate in the ribbons, the more fun the sun will be!

6. Now we cut out Yaril’s eyes, mouth and nose. Look how cute the sun turned out! To match Maslenitsa:

See what else you can create for your child and with your child during the long and fun Shrovetide week:
