When creating this kite, I spent no more than $ 40 on materials.

The whole process of creating this wonderful kite took me 8 hours. Here's a snake I ended up with:

Step 1: materials and tools

My goal was to use the cheapest and most affordable materials that can be bought in any store. Please note that I did not have to search for many of the materials, so your kite may cost more.

Materials:

1. Durable nylon. I bought a meter for each color. This amount should, according to my calculations, be enough for 5 kites.
2. Six wooden dowels (0.6 cm in diameter, 92 cm long)
3. Vinyl tube 61 cm long, with a diameter of 0.6 cm. This tube will hold the keys together.
4. Fabric adhesive. You can choose the cheapest one in the store.
5. Superglue. Needed to firmly adhere the fabric to the vinyl tube.
6. Special line or rope for winding / unwinding and controlling the kite in the air.
7. Packing safety pins (if desired, can be used to hold together pieces of fabric while gluing it to the snake's wood base).

Instruments:

1. Scissors
2. Marker with fine tip for marking on fabric and dowels.
3. Cardboard box for creating a layout (optional). It was easier for me to measure out a triangular model of a kite on cardboard, so that in the end my kite turned out to be symmetrical.
4. Tape measure and straightedge (36 inches long) for calculations.
5. Protractor - for measuring angles in a triangular kite.
6. A regular pencil sharpener - we will use it to cut the edges of the dowels.
7. Hacksaw and miter cutter (optional) - in order to cut off part of the wooden dowel.
8. Large nail - should leave a hole through which the wood dowel can go through.

For work, I advise you to spread the fabric on the floor, so it will be more convenient to do calculations.



Step 2: build the base

What we need: wooden dowels (3 pieces 91 cm long, 1 piece 6 cm long, 1 piece 7.2 cm long), vinyl tube, nail, scissors, tape measure, marker.

Make sure the vinyl tube is long enough to fit the wooden dowels into it.
You will need to place dowels in the vinyl tube and cut it later (NOT NOW). Therefore, the length of the tube can be calculated based on the dimensions of the parts:

1 tube 7.6 cm long;
6 tubes 1 cm long (for connecting the crossbars);
2 tubes 1.3 cm long (to secure the outer tips of the snake's "wings" so that the fabric does not come off).

1. Measure the length of each key. 3 keys do not have to be cut at all, while 2 keys can be obtained by cutting one. I used a miter cutter and a hacksaw to cut the dowels. You can replace these tools with scissors, but then you have to work hard to cut straight.

2. Use a pencil sharpener to round off the edges of the dowels. No need to sharpen, just round off so that the dowels can be pushed into the vinyl tube. Look at the photo.

3. Measure one and a half centimeters from the edge of the vinyl tube and mark with a marker. Then, in place of the mark, stick the nail perpendicular to the tube. Look at the photo.

4. Now you need to insert the key into the tube. It will take some time and effort. How to do it - look at the photo.

5. Once you have inserted the first key, you can measure the length of 1 cm and cut off.

6. Repeat for all keys:
to fix the tip, "nose" of the snake, you will need a key in the tube 7.6 cm long;
two 92 cm dowels will require 2 vinyl tubing. One 91 cm key will need a vinyl tube in the center. This is quite difficult to explain - follow the step-by-step actions in the photo.



Step 3: measure and cut the fabric

What do we need: nylon, marker, scissors, tape measure, straightedge, protractor.

I drew a sketch of my kite on cardboard in advance and cut out the layout. Thus, I got a symmetrical layout, which remains to be attached to the fabric, circle and cut along the contour.

I had to tinker with trigonometric calculations. To make it easier for you, here is a picture with the measurements that I used:

Notice that the 2 edges are 1.5 cm longer. This margin is needed to glue together the "sleeves" into which we will insert the dowel.





Step 4: glue the pieces of fabric

What we need: dowels, fabric glue, pieces of fabric you just cut out, safety pins (optional).

Note: glue one of the 19-inch pieces into the sleeve. The other part will be used to glue two pieces of fabric.

For starters, a longer piece of fabric will be wrapped around the longest dowels. Next, I made a sleeve by gluing nylon along the edge and inserting a dowel, as shown in the photo.

Now it's time to glue one piece of fabric to another. Take the piece where there is no dowel sleeve and cut it to 0.5 cm. Glue as shown in the photo, do not forget to insert the dowel into the sleeve before gluing.

Let the glue dry for several hours.



Step 5: connect the base and fabric

What we need: tape measure, parts of the kite that you have already made - fabric base and wings, superglue, fabric glue, an extra dowel to smooth out the roughness from the glue layer on the fabric.

Prepare the fabric:
You need to measure and make cuts around the edges to insert the vinyl tubing with dowels. The incisions should be between 9 cm and 32 cm from the nose. Detailed process in the photo.

Insert the keys:

To create the outer slats of the kite, take the two dowels in the vinyl tubing you prepared earlier.

1. Starting at the “nose”, carefully thread the key into the fabric sleeve.
2. Once you reach the first notch, slide a piece of vinyl tubing over the key as shown in the photo below.
3. Continue to push the key down the sleeve from the tack, taking care not to move the vinyl tube outside.
4. Repeat step 2 for the next vinyl tube when you reach the second notch in the sleeve.
5. Thread the key to the end of the sleeve, and do the same with the other wing of your kite.
Putting together the central part:
In the 19-inch sleeve, made in the middle after gluing the two halves of the fabric, you also need to make two notches to insert the short key.
1. The outer trims are now in the sleeves along the edges of the "wings".
2. The top layer of the sleeve needs to be cut in the middle to insert a key that should be used to secure the vinyl tubing at both ends.

A few final touches:

Now we need superglue. It is very important to use superglue to secure the tips of the "wings" of the kite, so that they do not come unstuck and do not get disheveled during acrobatic stunts in the air.

1. Use a 3-inch vinyl tube to secure the spout. Now use super glue to glue the fabric to the vinyl tube.
2. One-and-a-half-inch vinyl tubing from the base of the kite should be attached to the ends of the outer straps. Use super glue to glue the fabric to the tubes.
3. Apply fabric glue to the back (the only edge with no dowel). To prevent the glue from bubbling, flatten the fabric with a dowel.

Voila! Finally, we have a kite that is capable of performing acrobatic stunts.






Step 6: attach the ropes to control the kite

What you need: rope, twine (60 meters), scissors, kite.

In total, there are 6 connecting points (3 on each side), they should be located as in the photo.

At one end of the loop I made a loop, cut the rope into 6 pieces, each 61 cm long. Then I attached each rope to the kite at the connection points. To do this, I wrapped the rope around the key and looped the free end into a loop, thus tying it around the key.

Measure, without cutting, the length for each tied rope:
top rope (21 cm);
bottom rope of the outer plank (16.5 cm);
bottom ropes with inner sides(14 cm).

1. Measure each rope, mark with a marker.
2. Once all the ropes have been marked to the correct length, take 2 ropes on the left side and 1 lower middle rope and line up according to the marks.
3. Apply superglue to all three marks to hold the three ropes together.
4. After the superglue is dry, tie a knot on all three ropes. To secure the knot, I dripped superglue on it.
5. Repeat all these steps for the right side of the kite. Excess rope can be cut off after the glue is dry. Don't forget to check the photo.

Guiding ropes.

You will need two ropes to control the kite in the air. One - for right hand, the second is for the left. Each of these ropes should be about 25-30 m long. The photo explains in detail how to connect these lines to the base of the kite. Make a loop at the end of each rope and follow the directions in the photo!

Greek dress without a pattern. 3 ways to sew by yourself

Your goal- these are light flowing fabrics (muslin, satin, silk, jersey, fine knitwear, velvet). The fabric should be fluid, thin, easy to fit into soft folds and not wrinkle much.

(By the way, note that among the flowing fabrics, you can find those that do not crumble at the cut, then you will not need to process the edges after sewing the dress.) The length of the cut must be at least 3 meters.

We will create the dress in greek style yourself. And no patterns! Only a flight of imagination and a mirror. And every woman necessarily has both.

Don't have a sewing machine? So for creating a Greek dress, she is not particularly needed.

Have you never sewn anything? And the Greek dress does not need to be "sewn" in the generally accepted sense of the word (with pattern drawings, darts and stitches).

The first method: "Wrap and strap"

Here is a pictorial diagram:

Two decorative pins on the shoulders and tie with a ribbon at the waist or under the bust.

Of course, this simplistic version of the dress will swing open in any wind. Therefore, it is this model that will be appropriate at a beach resort over a swimsuit.

And in order for this to turn into a full-fledged Greek dress, you just need to sew the sash of the dress along its right side from bottom to top, so that the body does not peep out. The end result is an elegant, Greek-style outfit.

The good thing about this model is that, while absolutely not fitting the body, it nevertheless emphasizes the beauty of its curves, thanks to the fluidity of the fabric that seductively flows through the body. And according to this modeling method, completely different dresses, depending on what color and quality fabric you will use to create them.

For example: ivory satin, a string of river pearls around the wrist, a discreet but refined brooch on the shoulder made of the same pearls, hair scattered over the shoulders - and you get the image of a young Aphrodite emerging from the foam of the sea, and your wardrobe is replenished with a fashionable Greek day dress ...

Or the same model but: black silk, a brooch on the shoulder and a gold-colored bracelet, smoky eye makeup - and this is the evening image of a formidable goddess.

Method two: draping on the body

The great French fashion designer Madame Gre created her dresses in the Greek style, draping them by hand on the model's body. Her way of creating an antique dress became a classic, and her clients included Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Marlene Dietrich and Barbra Streisand.

As the ancient Greeks used to say: "It is not the gods who burn pots" we will try ourselves in the role of a fashion designer.

Here's a picture of a Greek dress made from a single piece of fabric.

High-fashion? Yes, high, but not so high that we could not reach it.

What do you need A: The fabric is slightly longer than 2 your height from heel to shoulder (if you want a floor-length dress). Decorative braid or ribbon of such length that it was enough to wrap itself under the bust and at the waist twice.

Let's start. We spread the fabric on the floor, found the middle on it and drew a line with chalk. This line will rest on your shoulders.

Now in the center you need to make a hole for the head - draw a perpendicular line (about 15 cm to start with, so that the head crawls through) and cut it with scissors.

We put our head in the hole, and now we need to decide to what level we will deepen the neckline. ( The dress from the photo has a cut-out to the waist. But you can stop it under the chest, tie it with a ribbon there, and then you can no longer wrap another ribbon around the waist, let the fabric flow freely downward, starting to fall right from the ribbon under the chest. And this will be a slightly different model of the Greek dress, less frank). But let's continue ...

So, they put it on the head, and marked the desired level of the cutout depth on the fabric with small pieces. They took it off, spread it on the floor, drew a line to our mark and cut the cutout to the end with scissors. We pinned the fabric with pins along the line of the shoulders and then proceed as shown in the figure.

They tied the tape under the chest, but not over the fabric, but under it, on the body. We take the pins and, laying the fabric in folds, we pin them to the ribbon, draping first one breast, then the other.

We do roughly the same with the ribbon at the waist.

Now, when we already see the image of our future Greek dress, and we are satisfied with the way the fabric lay, we can thread a needle and, taking out one pin at a time, sew our folds to the ribbon with large stitches (or you can sew everything all over again, and then already remove the pins). The stitches can be made oblique and curved, anyway we will sew another tape or braid over it, and we will already sew it neatly.

so, we blinded the front of the dress in the Greek style.

At the back, you can do the same as at the front, with a cutout and two ribbons. Or show your imagination, play with drapery. Using the method of pinning and pinching with hair crabs, find the very location of the folds when the fabric flows in the most interesting way for you, emphasizing your strengths and hiding weaknesses.

The pictures show 3 ways of draping the back of the dress. Third way, "Swing", is achieved by pinching the canvas up (the left and right edges of the canvas are gathered together, and the middle sags freely, forming these most beautiful "rockers") Accordingly, for the third method, the fabric on the back hem needs 1-2 meters more.

But when playing with fabric and fantasizing, keep in mind that the dress must provide free entry and exit, that is, somewhere it must be buttoned and unbuttoned. It is best to sew on one graceful button on the side, at the ends of the ribbons in the front of the dress, and on the loop at the ends of the ribbons in the back of the dress. Thus, it turns out that the dress above the waist does not have side seams, but is fastened with buttons (or Velcro, or decorative fasteners - to your taste).

The third way: drapery on the "sticky"

Let me explain what a "sticky" is. Imagine that you have a short, slim-fit dress. But you do not and will not wear it, because once you spilled bleach on it, and the stain cannot be removed. And if you have not thrown it out yet, then rejoice, you will not have to sew a shell on purpose - this dress will serve as an ideal basis for creating your new gorgeous dress in the Greek style. That is, it will be this very "sticky".

Put on the stick, take the flowing fabric to match, throw it over your shoulder (or cut a hole for the head, as in the previous method), form folds and pin them with pins to the stick. Then sew them first with a rough thread with simple coarse stitches, take out the pins, try them on again and, if everything suits you, sew them by hand with neat blind stitches.

Pull out the rough thread, cut off excess fabric, and if necessary, make a seam. As a basis for drapery, you can use not only a sticky dress, but also a tight-fitting T-shirt or bra. The main thing is that the drapery completely hides the base, and the base itself is the same color as the drapery fabric.

As you can see, a dress in the Greek style can be made literally with your bare hands. Without any drawings and mathematical calculations. Guided exclusively by intuition and a sense of beauty.

Go ahead, take the fabric and try, create! And you will definitely succeed!

As the ancient Greeks said: "To learn to play the harp, you have to play the harp."

And if you want to know more, then you are welcome to follow the link. You will learn how the unsurpassed Alix Gre and Madeleine Vionne created their Greek dresses.

You can do it yourself without having the skills of sewing or knitting. For making clothes for dolls without sewing, old knitted (preferably) things are suitable. The jersey does not crumble at the seams, is elastic, keeps its shape well. Other fabrics can be used. The main thing is that the finished product does not crumble the edges of the fabric during use.

Skirt without sewing

To make a skirt without sewing with a length below the knee, cut a square with a side of 10 cm from knitwear. The skirt in the photo is made from an old sand-colored T-shirt.

Fold the square in half.


Fold the resulting rectangle in half. That is, we get a square in four additions.


In the corner where the folds of the fabric are located, set aside 0.5 cm and cut off the top - this is the waist line. Set aside 10 cm all over the skirt (sides and center). Connect with a smooth line. Cut off excess fabric along this line. The skirt is ready.


Unfold the skirt, iron it out.


Try on a skirt for a doll.

Sleeveless sweater

To make a sweater without sewing, cut out a rectangle from jersey with sides 7cm x 30cm.


Fold back the rectangular strip by 1.5 cm and mark the places for the armholes of the blouse.


From the edges of the rectangle, retreat 12.5 cm on both sides and put marks. Make a 0.5 cm incision for one sleeve.


Make a cut for the other armhole.


Expand rectangle.


Putting the blouse on the doll.



We cross the free ends of the blouse and tie it behind the back at the waist.


Since rectangular tails will constrict the back of the product, you can trim them as follows.

Unfold the blouse and cut the corners as shown in the photo



The blouse can be worn on the other side of the doll. The free ends are crossed and tied in front, either offset to the right or left.


This is how the blouse looks from the back in the second variant of trying on the blouse.

Long dress without sewing

This beautiful evening blue dress is made of combination with lace. For a dress without sewing, a square with a side of 48 cm was cut out. Fold the fabric square in half and again in half.


In the corner with folds, carefully cut the neck with a boat about 2 cm long.


Expand the square and try on the doll. If the head does not fit into the oval, then adjust the length of the neck.


We outline the places of the dress's armholes on the square. Namely, set aside 0.5 cm from the neck in both directions.


Make incisions with a length of 0.3 -0.4 mm as shown in the photo.


Expand the square with the neckline and armholes.


Fold the square in four again and adjust the dress lengthwise. That is, set aside 24 cm along the sides and in the center and draw a smooth line. Cut off excess fabric.


Expand the finished dress.


Dress up the doll.

Prepare lace braid or a strip of fabric about 60-70 cm long.


Tie the lace at the waist with a bow from the back. Distribute folds evenly on the front of the fabric.

Distribute the folds evenly over the fabric at the back.

The lace can be tied above the waist and the dress will take on a different style.

If there is wide lace, then the dress will look more elegant.


Remove the narrow braid from the dress, and throw a strip of wide lace over the shoulders, cross the free ends in front and tie behind the back. Straighten the pleats on the dress.

Wide lace can also be used as a thin stole.
