Birch bark, in a different beeration, is one of the most popular materials for the manufacture of souvenirs and useful things. These are the widest opportunities for creating natural elements of the decor, as well as dishes, baskets and even shoes.
Features and preparation of material
Beresta - the material is special, unique and amazing, with a centuries-old history. Ancient Rusichi found a wide range of applications for her:
- Beresta served aspect times;
- From it they made security charms and decorations;
- fishing tackle, boats and even temporary halary housing;
- Birch bark was used for the manufacture of the most diverse dishes, in which loose and liquid products were stored;
- From it was prepared to carry the container - baskets, Tues, box, Lukoshka.
And finally, the shoes and even clothing. For example, In the Vytehorsky United Museum, a shirt, pants, a hat from Berestov, not to mention boots and laps. As far as it was convenient, the question is minor, but the subyense people in ancient Russia did not always have had funds on linen clothing - most of the revenues went on risks, and families were numerous. Native Birch came to the rescue, which served, among other things, the pharmacy (birch tar, bark, leaves, kidneys, chaga, and even roots).
A characteristic feature of Berestov is the presence of subverin acid, inhibiting pathogenic fungi and bacteria. It is thanks to this that products in Berevian Tara have long retain their properties, for example, milk does not even in the heat.
Cookie products do not cause allergic reactions, which makes them not only beautiful, but also safe.
To make a craft from Berriest, you need to prepare the working material. The workpiece is produced in several ways - layers, tapes (cylinders), ribbons. Experts claim that it is the ribbons that are most suitable for the development of azov work with Bershest.
There is a question how to prepare Beresto. For professional mining in large quantities, you need a set of tools: an ax, saw, knife, wire. You need to collect Beresto from mid-June to mid-July - at this time it is easily peeling. Below the technology is the easiest.
- It is necessary to choose a tree with a smooth bark, make a longitudinal incision on its south side (it is easier to delay the bark).
- Then make two circular cuts from the upper and lower edges of the longitudinal. At the same time, it is necessary to follow the depth of the outbreak - it should remain within the cork layer, otherwise the tree will not be able to increase the bark and will die.
- A knife or shovel, the outcropped part gently lifted and separated.
- As a result, there will be a reservoir of Berestov (slotting). If there are several of them, then they all fold into the stack, with alternating the inner and outside of the cortex, pressed the load.
- With a bark, not intended for long storage, work immediately until it dry and remains soft and militant. This means that it must be split into stripes and plates.
Further operations are carried out on the next day. The top layer of Berestov needs to be processed by sandpaper to remove dust particles, garbage, dirt. The irons is softer and gentle, it is gently wiped with a soft cloth.
- Next comes the next step. A deep spacious bowl is poured with warm water, add a little cook salt. In this solution, Berest is kept for 2-3 days.
- After soaking and drying berst, it is easy to smell on thin layers and ribbons. The resulting material stroke the iron, then sorted by color and pattern.
There is an even easier way to get Beresto for the first crafts. The incision on the trunk makes a small, 4-5 cm, the edges of the cortex peel off, after which it remains to remove the band around the barrel from the birch. The ribbon is immediately twisted into the roll of white side up.
What to do with children?
Children should begin with the simplest crafts from Beresta. Little masters with their own hands will be able to make simple products from birch bark, such as flat figures of animals, a stand-circle under a mug or a plate, unpaired panels, paintings or autumn work.
For children, such work is useful in physical terms (develops a small motorcy) and in intellectual - contributes to the development of creative thinking, as well as training in the concentration of attention and amplification.
Crafts from birch bark for children in kindergarten, as well as for schoolchildren on the topic of autumn, are performed from the treated birch. Junior class students make a house, a bulk figurine, such as a flower or salt, a beautiful stand under hot with the design method of burning or appliqués to the school at the exhibition.
Such products like animal figures can be flat or volumetric. For a flat model, you need to perform an animal pattern, for example, draw on paper and cut. Then to circle a stencil with a pencil on Bereste, cut and at the same time cut the birch ribbons. On the edge of the parts knead the holes. Halves fold the front side and stitched with a beretta tape. In this way, you can make coasters under hot, key rings and much more.
Crafts for interior
Highly professional products from Berestov become a full part of the interior, and sometimes an accent. To their manufacture, too, you can attract children.
To work with bark will need tools:
- Knife, line and clips;
- Cornel, Rake and Circle;
- Pobbler, seed, pliers and brackets;
- Ballpoint pen, pencil and tin patterns.
In addition, dry soft fabric and vegetable oil can be useful in operation. Next, a simple instruction should be made step by step several products.
Ku
One of the easiest crafts for beginners is performed from birch strips chopped from treated birch bark. For the manufacture of the box, it is necessary to prepare tools, 12 birch tapes 45 cm long and 2 cm wide, stationery clips.
- As the basis take 6 stripes, lay down in parallel on the table.
- The next tape is passed through the center through the laid bands, alternating the upper and lower position.
- Another strip repeat the process, only in the opposite direction and the opposite position. Thus, all loose birch tapes are inserted.
- After all bands turn out to be in the case, it comes to further actions. To begin with, all vertical and horizontal tapes are tightly shifted to get a solid cloth. At the same time, it is necessary to observe the same length of the free edges, and the woven part should be located strictly in the center.
- The resulting corners fasten with stationery clips.
- After that, the sidewalls are proceeded - the free ends are intertwined in a checker order. The action begins with central strips with gradual interfution of free ribbons. The process is completed at the top edge of the product.
- To the edges look neat, and the product is finished, the protruding ends bend and hide in weaving.
The result is a solid product in the form of a square cart-box.
In the process you need to remember the density of the walls and the bottom, all strips must be shifted to each other as tight as possible. If you lose this moment out of mind, then as a result, the product will be loose, fragile, winding side.
If everything is done correctly, then for a strong and reliable design, the cover can be sprung along the same technology.
Panel
Panno is an excellent decorative element that is useful not only as an exhibit to the exhibition, but also as a gift to relatives or friends.
For its manufacture, you will need:
- Cardboard for crafts;
- Grinding bark bark and thin berst;
- Pencil, scissors, PVA glue and adhesive gun;
- Decorative elements in the form of wooden beads, as well as a soft cloth to maintain the cleanliness of the work.
Cardboard can be saved with colored paper for creativity, especially since it is represented in a huge assortment - the background of velvet paper will look original.
- If a sleek cardboard is used, the PVA glue is applied to its surface, and the tops are sprinkled on top of the bark. After drying, not gluing particles shake. Velvet paper does not need such an design. The condition is one - the background should be contrasting birch. Light birest material will be perfectly looking at deep blue, chocolate or black background.
- Next draw on paper the outline of the future composition, for example, a flower. Draw petals, leaves, stems, and so on.
- All items are cut for use as stencils.
- Lay them on a birch-based basis, outline, then cut out.
- After that, the bark harvesters are glued with hot glue in accordance with the sketch on the panel. Initially, the lower parts of the pattern are fixed, then the following, surface, smaller parts.
When choosing barks for crafts, it is worth stopping the choice on the material of various tones. This will help to give a visual scope, create a 3D effect.
During the final stage, only add decorative elements, such as, for example, beads will remain.
