Krupenichka was considered the main doll in the family. Our ancestors richly dressed it up and carefully kept it for a year in the most prominent place in the house. Krupenichka is a doll that brings prosperity and well-being to the house, creating warmth and comfort in it. Such a doll will become a good gift young family for a wedding or housewarming.

Through the doll, a connection was established between ancestors and descendants, secret tribal knowledge was transmitted. Create your own, unique, warm, real - living doll Krupenichka.

The basis of the doll was a bag of grain. In ancient times, these dolls were created after the harvest, filling them with selected grain collected from the field. Sowing began with him, the first sowing the grain taken from this chrysalis.

Traditionally, Krupenichka was filled with buckwheat, which symbolized satiety and wealth, but it can also be filled with other cereals (for example, rice - a "holiday" expensive grain, or oats - a grain of strength).

To create Krupenichka you will need:

- tailor's scissors;
- scissors with curly edge;
- needle.

Master class on making Krupenichka dolls

To create doll clothes, I recommend using a combination of plain fabrics with fabrics in a small pattern. They look very organic.
By color scheme I recommend using fabrics of no more than 2 main harmonizing colors, shading them with fabrics of component colors.

Our ancestors instead measuring instruments they used their parts of the body - an elbow, a span, a sazhen, etc. When measuring fabric, the same principle was used.

In order to create a body for our chrysalis, we take unbleached linen fabric, put two palms next to it, measuring a square ~ 20x20 cm in this way. Cut it out.

I’ll clarify right away - our ancestors did not use scissors when creating dolls. Pieces of fabric were torn off by hand, folded in various ways (depending on the specific type of doll), and tied with threads.

However, to make the doll beautiful and neat, I still prefer to cut the fabric.

Fold the resulting square in half.

At a distance of 1 cm from the edge, we sew together with a natural linen thread. I leave the tails of the threads on both sides long and then knit knots from them manually.

From above and below the bag we collect the edge of the fabric with a basting seam, leaving long tails of threads so that we can tighten them and tie them securely.

At that part of the bag that will be the top of the chrysalis, the tails of the threads should be on the inside of the bag (after we turn the bag inside out, they will accordingly be outside). This can be achieved by inserting the needle from the inside of the bag for the first time, and when you get to the last stitch, bring the needle and thread also to inside.

We tighten the part of the bag that will be the bottom of the pupa, tie it into 3 knots, for reliability we wrap the rest of the thread and fasten them with 3 more knots.

Turn the bag right side out.

We fall asleep cereal. The body should be very dense, so we pour a full bag, leaving very little space to hide the tails of the fabric in it.

After we hid the remnants of the fabric inside, we tighten it very tightly and tie it into 3 knots.

We measure the undershirt from the fabric. The shirt should cover 2/3 of our doll, i.e. hide it from the "neck" to the "heels", leaving room for the face. In order for the bottom edge of the shirt to be even, we will fold the fabric in half. Cut out. We wrap our doll, overlapping the edges of the fabric, thus closing the back seam of the bag. The seam will be the back of the head of the pupa.

10. We tightly wrap and fasten the fabric with a red thread.

In ancient times, when creating a protective doll, all the storage joints of Alive (life-giving force) were tied with a red thread to protect them.

11. We measure and cut linen lace for the top shirt.

We wrap them over the bottom shirt in such a way that the edges of the shirt do not close on the front side, leaving a gap of about 3 cm. We collect with linen thread and fasten to 3 knots.

We turn to the creation of a zipun (caftan). Cut out a strip of fabric. The length of the strip depends on how thick the fabric itself is. If it is a thin strip, we cut it longer, if it is dense - less.

We take a copper pendant (I will have a key). We thread a linen thread into the eye and firmly fix it in the center with two knots.

We put the thread on the edge of the strip of fabric. And from the edges to the center we begin to twist the sleeves-handles, along with the thread and the key.

15. We put the resulting zipun on the doll in such a way that the edges of the twisted sleeves remain outside, and are located 1.5-2 cm in height above the lower edge of the shirt. We tightly wrap and fasten the zipun with linen thread. Tie 3 knots.

We throw the tail of the thread holding the key diagonally over the head, and with the help of a needle we carefully attach it to the thread that holds the zipun.
We don’t prick the pupa, and we don’t sew anything to it! We need a needle only so that we can wrap the thread from the key around the thread that holds the zipun together. Fasten with 3 knots.

Since ancient times, the rag was used by the Slavs as an amulet or a ritual object. Such talismans have been companions of man throughout life path from birth to death. Hand-made rag beauties were present in every home. Our ancestors believed in magical power this talisman. They were made exclusively by women. During the process of creating the amulet, the man did not have the right to observe or even be around. The pupae were made faceless, made exclusively from natural materials. They were not just toys, but protected a person, home and family, served as a sacred object at childbirth, weddings, and holidays. The rag doll, whose history goes back centuries, acquires new life- become popular in the modern world.

Doll Zernovushka - a talisman for wealth and abundance

The Zernovushka doll, which was also called Pea, Krupenichka, served as the personification of prosperity in a Slavic family. People believed that she attracts wealth to the house, contributes good harvest. Depending on the locality, it could look different, but it was always based on a bag filled with grain. Most often they poured buckwheat, wheat, peas, barley, oats. They placed the doll in the most prominent place in the house. By the appearance of the talisman, it was possible to determine the wealth of the family. If the doll is thick, then a plentiful crop has been harvested, which promises a full winter. Sometimes such amulets were made in a male guise and called the Rich. In addition, Krupenichki were a ritual object during spring sowing. The first to throw grain from the doll's bag into the ground. In the fall, they filled it with selected seeds of a new crop, in the hope that the next one would be the same. Krupenichka is one of the most revered rag amulets, it was believed that it keeps the power of mother earth, which gives hope for a favorable spring, summer with warm rains, and abundant autumn. It is customary to give a grain for the Kolyada holiday, when they gave thanks to the gods for a rich harvest. Nowadays, the doll can be presented for housewarming and wedding.

Making Krupenichka

It is not difficult to make such a Zernovushka doll with your own hands. The main thing is to know the features and follow the rules when making a talisman:

  • The doll must be faceless;
  • Only used in work natural materials;
  • Do not use piercing and cutting objects (needle, scissors)
  • Clothing is not sewn, but wound.
  • In the manufacture of thoughts should be bright.
  • If you are ill or preoccupied with something, work should not be done.
  • According to Slavic traditions, needlework is not done on Friday and Sunday before lunch.
  • Charms for profit are made on the growing moon.
  • You can do it in one sitting, without stretching for several days.

How to make a Zernovushka doll with your own hands, we will analyze it step by step at the master class.

In our work we will use:

  • A piece of canvas, coarse calico or two-thread 20x20 cm - on the body, two pieces on the arms 17x10 cm;
  • Bright colored fabric (preferably with a folk motif) 17x7 cm, for a sundress;
  • Sewing or lace 23x7 cm on the undershirt;
  • Material for the apron 5.5x5 cm;
  • A patch of colored or plain fabric on a shower warmer 23x6 cm;
  • Ribbon for a warrior (head volume plus an allowance of 2-3 cm)
  • Red natural thread (cotton, wool)
  • Fabric on a scarf, measure over the head.

It will be ideal if you can tear off the flaps, and not cut them off with scissors. In the manufacture of the torso, one cannot do without a needle, but this is the only point, we will not use it anymore. We proceed step by step to create a doll, not forgetting the rules.

  1. We take a piece of fabric for the body, bend along the share and sew along the length, in the form of a pipe.
  2. We tightly tie one end with a thread.
  3. Turn out to the front side. We straighten the knot, we get a bag.
  4. We put a coin at the bottom and fill in the grits, without filling about 3 cm to the edge.
  5. We tie the bag, seven turns. In some master classes, it is recommended to collect the top with a needle and thread. Doing this is highly undesirable. In rag amulets, piercing objects are unacceptable.

  6. Let's start dressing up the doll. Having determined the border of the neck, we take fabric or lace for the skirt and we wind it.
  7. In the same way, we put on a sarafan from above, which should not close in front.
  8. We also fasten the apron, putting the flap on the face, and then straighten it down.
  9. We form the arms, bend the fabric along the short side in half and twist it with a roller from both ends at the same time. We tie with a rope so that they do not unwind.
  10. We take the material for the shower warmer, put the blanks of the hands along the edges and wind the fabric around them, completing 5-6 turns. The center remains free. The rollers with a bent end “peep out” from the fabric by 0.5 cm - these are the palms of the pupa.
  11. We put the doll in the center of the shower warmer, the twists should be on the sides. We fasten the structure to the body with a thread.
  12. We take the braid, wrap it around the head, cross it at the back and wrap it along the neck line. Thus, a warrior turned out.
  13. On top we put on a scarf, after straightening the knot at the crown.
  14. The doll that will attract prosperity to your home is ready.

The apron can be supplemented with lace, braid or. In this case, you will have to use a needle, which is not desirable. If you still decide to decorate the apron. Sew it away from the chrysalis.

Modern needlewomen sometimes make Krupenichka from a sock, it is the basis and is filled with groats. All other stages of execution are the same. The advantage of this method is that there is no need to use a needle.

Activation and use of the amulet doll

In order for the doll to gain strength, charge it with your energy: take it in your palms, talk to it, tell about the prosperity that your family wanted to gain. Krupenichka should be placed in the living room or in the kitchen. According to the tradition of the Slavs, the doll was taken apart in the spring, the grain was thrown into the ground when sowing, the clothes were put in order, sometimes replaced with a new one. On the harvest festival, the bag was filled with fresh seeds. As a rule, such amulets are made for a long period, sometimes passed down through generations - it will be natural that they wear out. A spent talisman cannot simply be taken and thrown away. We need to say goodbye to the doll:

  • If during this period you experience a feeling of pity and do not want to leave, this indicates that the amulet is still working and should be left for some period.
  • In the case when the thoughts are bright and you are grateful to the magic object, then it's time to betray the talisman to the elements. Before doing this, the chrysalis must be disassembled into pieces.
  • Sharp objects should also not be used during this ritual. Threads are torn by hand. All components are given over to fire, the flaps are not used for the following amulet dolls.

In such cases, a new talisman was made, and the Zernovushka, which had lost its strength, was given to the elements: water, earth, fire.

In ancient times, wealth was closely associated with the harvest of grain. Nowadays, the concept of prosperity is somewhat different, but we should not forget that “Bread is the head of everything!”, Therefore, a rag amulet in the form of a doll filled with seeds has not lost its meaning.

Folk doll is unique view art, which keeps a sacred beginning in itself - traditions and rituals that have been passed down for many centuries within the clan, from generation to generation.

In each clan-family they were made in their own way, putting all the love and accumulated centuries-old wisdom. They bore the imprint of the Spirit of this family, their worldview and worldview. Through the doll, a connection was established between ancestors and descendants, secret tribal knowledge was transmitted.

With the disappearance of life modern people such an important component as the creation of folk dolls, there was a gap, emptiness, separation from the roots.

I propose to fill it - to create your own, unique, warm, real - living doll.

Krupenichka was considered the main doll in the family. Our ancestors richly dressed it up and carefully kept it for a year in the most prominent place in the house.

The basis of the doll was a bag of grain. In ancient times, these dolls were created after the harvest, filling them with selected grain collected from the field. Sowing began with him, the first sowing the grain taken from this chrysalis.

Traditionally, Krupenichka was filled with buckwheat, which symbolized satiety and wealth, but it can also be filled with other cereals (for example, rice - a "holiday" expensive grain, or oats - a grain of strength).

To create Krupenichka you will need:

- unbleached linen fabric (for the body of our chrysalis), ~ 20x20 cm;

- cereals (I use buckwheat), ~ 1 cup;

- linen or cotton fabric (for the bottom shirt), ~ 20x10 cm;

- linen lace or linen / cotton fabric (for the top shirt), ~ 20x10 cm;

- linen or cotton fabric (for zipun), ~ 40x10 cm;

- linen lace or linen / cotton fabric (for a warrior), ~ 20x10 cm;

- linen or cotton fabric (for a scarf), ~ 40x20 cm;

- linen lace and / or small pieces of fabric (for an apron), ~ 7-10 cm;

- natural linen threads;

- floss red;

- copper fittings (to make dolls expressive, I use pendants in the form of spoons, keys, etc.);

- tailor's scissors;

- scissors with curly edge;

- needle.

Our ancestors used their body parts instead of measuring instruments - an elbow, a span, a sazhen, etc. When measuring tissue, the same principle was used.

1. In order to create a body for our chrysalis, we take an unbleached linen fabric, put two palms next to it, measuring a square ~ 20x20 cm in this way.

Cut out.

I’ll clarify right away - our ancestors did not use scissors when creating dolls. Pieces of fabric were torn off by hand, folded in various ways (depending on the specific type of doll), and tied with threads.

However, to make the doll beautiful and neat, I still prefer to cut the fabric.

2. Fold the resulting square in half.

At a distance of 1 cm from the edge, we sew together with a natural linen thread. I leave the tails of the threads on both sides long and then knit knots from them manually.

3. From above and below the bag we collect the edge of the fabric with a basting seam, leaving long tails of threads so that we can tighten them and tie them securely.

At that part of the bag that will be the top of the chrysalis, the tails of the threads should be on the inside of the bag (after we turn the bag inside out, they will accordingly be outside). This can be achieved by inserting the needle from the inside of the bag for the first time, and when you get to the last stitch, bring the needle and thread to the inside as well.

4. We tighten the part of the bag that will be the bottom of the chrysalis, tie it into 3 knots, for reliability we wrap the rest of the thread and fasten them with 3 more knots.

5. We turn the bag on the front side.

6. Fall asleep cereal. The body should be very dense, so we pour a full bag, leaving very little space to hide the tails of the fabric in it.

7. After we hid the remnants of the fabric inside, we tighten it very tightly and tie it into 3 knots.

8. We measure the undershirt from the fabric. The shirt should cover 2/3 of our doll, i.e. hide it from the "neck" to the "heels", leaving room for the face.

In order for the bottom edge of the shirt to be even, we will fold the fabric in half. Cut out.

9. We wrap our doll, overlapping the edges of the fabric, thus closing the back seam of the bag. The seam will be the back of the head of the pupa.

10. Tightly wrap and fasten the fabric with a red thread.

In ancient times, when creating a protective doll, all the storage joints of Alive (life-giving force) were tied with a red thread to protect them.

11. We measure and cut linen lace for the top shirt.


We wrap them over the bottom shirt in such a way that the edges of the shirt do not close on the front side, leaving a gap of about 3 cm. We collect with linen thread and fasten to 3 knots.

12. We proceed to the creation of a zipun (caftan). Cut out a strip of fabric. The length of the strip depends on how thick the fabric itself is. If it is a thin strip, we cut it longer, if it is dense - less.

13. We take a copper pendant (I will have a key). We thread a linen thread into the eye and firmly fix it in the center with two knots.

14. Put the thread on the edge of the strip of fabric. And from the edges to the center we begin to twist the sleeves-handles, along with the thread and the key.

15. We put the resulting zipun on the doll in such a way that the edges of the twisted sleeves remain outside, and are located 1.5-2 cm in height above the lower edge of the shirt. We tightly wrap and fasten the zipun with linen thread. Tie 3 knots.

16. We throw the tail of the thread holding the key diagonally over the head, and with the help of a needle we carefully attach it to the thread that holds the zipun.

The Krupenichka doll protected the wealth of our ancestors, protecting them from hunger and crop failure. The Slavs made this ritual lyalka by filling the doll's secret bag with grain. This helped to attract wealth, provided a full table and joy in the house.

Slavic traditions have not lost their relevance today. Knowing the rules for creating a rag amulet, you can make a Krupenichka doll with your own hands. We will tell you how to choose material for a motanka, how to fill it and where to put it so that it helps to feed the family.

The ancient Slavs had many customs associated with the creation and use. They were to strengthen family ties, and to attract joy, as well as a guardian of Krupenichka. The latter symbolized wealth and prosperity. Krupenichka's main concern was to provide a rich table - so that each of the family members was full, satisfied and happy.

Doll Krupenichka-Zernovushka, or Pea symbolizes wealth and prosperity.

The Zernovushka doll not only attracted well-being to energy level but also helped to avoid real hunger. The Slavs filled the chrysalis with grain in early autumn, after the harvest, using these stocks when there was nothing to eat.

Guests coming to the house at a glance could understand how poor or rich the family was. If Krupenichka has magnificent forms, then the family is not starving. The thinner Lyalka says that difficult times have come.

History has brought us information about the doll that traditionally accompanies Zernovushka. This doll was called the Rich Man. She was a male figure, and her goal was to ensure financial prosperity.

What does the amulet symbolize?

Most of the Slavic motanok helped their owners at the energy level. Some attracted love, others protected from diseases, the machinations of evil spirits, and still others brought a good mood to the house.

Among all the other lyalek, Krupenichka was special, because she helped feed her family. The doll attracted the energy of prosperity, expressed in a festively laid table, and also performed one more important role. Namely, it served as a repository for the best grain harvested this year. The next year, a handful of grain was taken out of Zernovushka and sown again. Our ancestors believed that in this way they improve the harvest.

The Importance of Grains and Seeds

Traditionally, a bag for grain hidden under the hem of Krupenichka was filled with buckwheat. But it is allowed to use other crops.

Motanka needs to be filled only with seeds and grain suitable for sowing. After all, the main meaning of the Krupenichka doll is not to serve as a storage bag, but to ensure the future harvest and prosperity.

To fill the Krupenichka doll, choose grain and cereals suitable for sowing.

Each of the cereals has its own meaning for Zernovushka:

  • buckwheat means prosperity on the table, abundance in the house;
  • oats help maintain strength, improve health;
  • barley symbolizes satiety;
  • rice in those days was considered the most expensive cereal, so its value is wealth.

You can choose one of them or add several, or even fill the chrysalis with all at once.

Master class on making Krupenichka dolls

Krupenichka is easy to make yourself. This can be done by anyone who has done at least a little needlework. The most difficult thing in making a talisman is the selection of materials. All of them must be natural. The rest will require patience and free time.

Use only natural materials to make the Zernovushka doll.

For work, take:

  • White fabric for a grain bag 26x65 cm.
  • Red material - will go on the shirt. Size 30x10 cm.
  • Orange fabric with patterns for poneva. Traditionally, wool is used for it, but you can replace it with something else. Format as in the previous paragraph.
  • Burgundy fabric for zipuna. 29x9 cm.
  • 3 strips of fabric for a headband with a scarf 20x4 cm. Each strip should have its own color.
  • Pieces of fabric for the apron: 10x8.5 cm, 9x7.5 cm, 8.6.5 cm.
  • Red triangle for a scarf with a base of 58 cm and a height of 14 cm.
  • Green buckwheat for filling - about 500 gr.
  • Red thread for fastening fabrics.
  • Lace, beads for the belt.
  • Cardboard - to shape the bag.
  • Double-sided tape.

Step-by-step instruction:

  1. Make a tube out of a sheet of cardboard by fastening it with double-sided tape. It will help shape the grain bag.
  2. Next, wrap the roll with a white cloth several times, and then tie it on one side with a thread, like candy. You need to twist the thread to the right side, making even number nodules. Do not cut the thread with scissors - cut it off or leave it as it is.
  3. Remove the cardboard insert by turning the bag inside out. This is done in order to hide the knot. Now you can fill it with buckwheat or any other cereal.
  4. When about 3-4 cm remain to the edge, assemble the fabric again with a candy, repeating the manipulations with the knot threads.
  5. Take the red cloth and then attach it to the top of the bag. The fabric should be placed inside out. After that, tie it from below with a thread, turning it outward.
  6. Attach the poneva fabric in the same way. Important nuance: The edges should be folded over on each side so that the material does not meet at the front, leaving a red gap from the bottom material. In the same way, you will need to tuck the zipun - just fix it a little higher.
  7. When the caftan is ready, take on the aprons. First the largest piece of fabric, then the smaller one, and finally the smallest one. We do it according to the already familiar principle - we apply it inside out, tie it with a thread, unfold it.
  8. After it, attach a cape to the doll's head, put a scarf on her head. You need to fix it so that everything looks neat and symmetrical. Hide the remaining tips inside.
  9. Krupenichka is almost ready. The very last element remains - to make a belt for her, decorating it with beads, and tying it under a scarf.

Your Grain is ready. Now you can put it in a place of honor or give it to the one to whom it was intended.

Taking these dimensions as a basis, you can change them - increase or decrease if you want to make a grain of a different size.

Features of using Grain

Krupenichka dolls require special treatment. You need to be able to make them correctly, as well as know the rules for using them. Rag amulets in the form of dolls practically cannot harm a person. But ignorance of the traditions of their use can lead to the fact that the amulet will not be able to perform its functions.

Keep Krupenichka closer to the refrigerator or near the cabinet with cereals. So she will interact with the energy of food, multiplying the food on the table.

To avoid this, make sure the following conditions are met:

  • Make Krupenichka for the growing moon so that the energy of the night light increases satiety and prosperity in the house.
  • Place the doll closer to the refrigerator or near the cabinet where cereals are stored. So she will interact with the energy of food, strengthening it - that is, increasing the food on the table.
  • Giving a charm to loved ones, do not forget to fill it with cereals. To give this empty lyalka means to wish poverty and difficulties.

A traditional folk doll amulet, used in accordance with all the rules, will fill the life of the family with joy and ensure the constant availability of food on the table.

In ancient times, dolls were protectors and served as amulets against evil. They were made without needles and scissors. The material was not cut, but torn. Dolls were sometimes called so: "rvanki". There were always a lot of them in the family: the more, the happier. One of these dolls is Krupenichka.

What is a Krupenichka amulet doll

It was believed that in every house there should be a Krupenichka. Depending on what the amulet was filled with, it had different names. Peas were filled with peas, Buckwheat - with buckwheat, Zernovushka - with oats or any other cereal.

The amulet was made for a good harvest and prosperity. If there was nothing to eat in the winter, they took cereals from the bag from the chrysalis and cooked porridge. The grain was noticeably thinner, which indicated a decrease in the wealth of the owners. In the fall, the amulet was filled with cereals, dressed up and placed in a red corner, kept until next year. It was believed that then the year would be rich. Even a bag for pupae was prepared in a special way: boiled with salt, dried and filled with cereals. He protected from curses, evil spirits, and bugs had not yet started in him. If the family is hardworking and rich, then the chrysalis is complete. The thin Zernovushka talked about how people live in poverty.

The legend of the appearance of the chrysalis is as follows: she lived for herself beautiful girl, her name was Krupenichka. According to some rumors, a rich man wanted to marry her, according to others, a Tatar khan, but the girl ran away and turned into a tiny grain, it sprouted, and a plant appeared on the ground - buckwheat. Therefore, the Zernovushka doll is filled with buckwheat and other cereals for goodness and well-being. Selected grains are used, those that could be used for sowing. You can not take very small cereals and cereals.

What is she for?

Before you start making a Krupenichka doll, you need to decide what the amulet is for. It depends on what grain will be inside the doll:

  • Millet is used by those who are not married. The amulet will attract the groom to the house.
  • If you fill Krupenichka with buckwheat, you and your family will be healthy. Such a doll is needed for those who are often sick or when the cause of the disease is unknown.
  • It is good to fill the amulet with wheat for those who want to have children, but cannot. The grain will help to cope with health problems, and the family will have a long-awaited replenishment.
  • If you need money, then take beans for the chrysalis.
  • Rye will bring peace to the family.
  • Barley will help your spouse regain their former male power if something is wrong with his health.

Fill Krupenichka with different grains (a handful of each type) if you can’t decide exactly on the goal in this moment. Put garlic cloves in a bag: this way you protect the cereal from pests, and yourself from evil spirits.

It is believed that Krupenichka is a southerner, because it is there that buckwheat is cultivated, into which, according to legend, a runaway girl turned into grain

The Zernovushka doll was given to daughters before the wedding, so that the marriage would be successful. Sons were given when they went to serve in the army. Krupenichka protected her husbands on the road. If they wanted to get pregnant, they put the doll in the cradle, and when the child appeared, they left it with the newborn so that the child, growing up, could play with her.

If something is not going well in your family, you need to make Zernovushka and her husband Rich. To the grains of Krupenichka put a note in which to write a desire: to return peace and harmony to the family. The puppets will definitely help you.

How to make a grain

Krupenichka is done like this:

  1. We cut out two circles from chintz or cotton: one large colored, the other smaller, white color.
  2. Sew the color along the edge, tighten the thread.
  3. We put grain in the resulting bag. We tighten the thread to the end, sew up the bag.
  4. We make a white circle according to the same principle. Fill with cotton.
  5. Sew the head to the body.
  6. We take a rectangle of white fabric, twist the handles with a tube, attach to the neck.
  7. We make a warrior doll and put on a scarf. We decorate the skirt with lace.

other methods

You can create Krupenichka in another way.

  1. We take white cotton or linen. We cut out a rectangle, sew a bag out of it, turn it inside out, fill it with cereals, tie it on top.
  2. Now dress up the doll. We make a petticoat from a thin fabric, attach it with a thread. From above we fix a dense fabric and an apron.
  3. We make a coat from a woolen rectangle, rolling our hands along the edges of the fabric. We fix everything with the same thread.
  4. We put a warrior on the head - a red triangle and tie a scarf - a triangle of colored fabric with long ends.

By the same principle, you can make Krupenichka's husband - the Rich Man, only we dress him in a hat, shirt and pants.
