Doll from nylon tights for beginners step by step: instructions

“The doll belongs neither to the world of the living, nor to the world of the dead. This is the line, the line of the worlds. It is she who is allowed to do everything that is forbidden to people. It is allowed from above to combine the impossible with the possible. How does this happen? Depends on the skill of the one who gives her life. (Henry Oldie).

It is not difficult to make a doll with your own hands, so that it becomes not just a piece of the interior, but a real inhabitant of the apartment. Moreover, women always have excellent material at hand - nylon tights.

Wherever they are not used. On the Internet, you can find many life hacks. This is explained by the qualities of the material.

Benefits of using nylon

Capron is a synthetic polyamide fiber made from petroleum. It has amazing properties, which the "puppeteers" noticed when they adopted this material. Strength and elasticity, lightness, almost airiness.

Resistant to washing and deformation. Ease of care, resistance to the appearance of microorganisms. All these properties put nylon on the podium. Nevertheless, it is malleable, easy to use, and even a beginner can use it.

Required materials and tools

To make a doll, we need:

• Plastic bottle (lemonade, milk, any other option and volume).
• Thick wire (Al, Cu), hand bent.
• Household scissors.
• White glue (PVA).
• Tights (boil it!).
• Needles.
• A set of flesh-colored threads to match the pantyhose nylon.

Preparation of nylon

The preparation of nylon is a separate topic. To increase its elasticity, it must be boiled. How to do it?

Algorithm:

• We will work at low temperature or fire. Pour a liter of water and half a liter of whiteness into the tank.
• We put tights in the composition for a quarter of an hour and boil.
• During boiling, tights can change their color. By the end of the process, a pink-yellow color will appear.
• We rinse the nylon in water with conditioner.

Tip: to get a uniform color, cook one or two pairs of tights.

It is important to stir frequently.

Types of dolls

Several types of dolls can be distinguished according to the method of manufacture and appearance.

Tumblers. This is the easiest way to make nylon dolls. A distinctive feature is the limbs, which are conventionally indicated. Any hosiery is suitable for this technique. The name determines the shape of the tumbler - round, oval.

Popiki. This type of toy is called "predictive". It's all about the highlighted parts of the body: priests and faces. Depending on which part is turned to the hostess in the morning - this will be the coming day.

The assembly of the "priest" is complicated by the way the body parts are made. They are formed separately. Then, everything is sewn onto the clothes.

Wireframe. Most similar to a real person. They are made on the basis of a bottle frame and take time and skill.
