A wonderful and long-awaited New Year holiday! Children and adults are looking forward to it, with that sweet feeling with which children wait for gifts and fun. If you decide to prepare original DIY Christmas crafts, then start right now - time runs forward without looking back, 2017 will come very soon.

Bells or balls! That's what they told us at school. For the New Year, both in schools and kindergartens, parents make New Year's crafts. Just like we did last year New Year's ball, then in this we decided to do bells. The idea of ​​how to do it came immediately. I made the ball out of thread and bells I decided to do it using the same technique.

So. will do bells made of threads(you can use floss). They will be elegant, airy, bright and will decorate your home interior for... New Year. To work for us will be needed: a sheet of whatman paper (wallpaper or the like), scissors, office glue (PVA glue, hot melt adhesive (you can replace it with any other glue), cling film, skein blue thread(you can use any color, ribbon (depending on what kind of bow you want, wide and thin braid, ready-made bows (you can make it yourself, New Year's beads(decide the size yourself, decorative decorations of your choice, tape, plastic cup.

Take a sheet of cardboard or wallpaper (depending on what you have on hand) and make two frames in the form of a cone. Secure with tape.

To prevent the glue from sticking to the paper, we wrap the cones with cling film.

To prevent the cone from bending, I stuffed it with wallpaper scraps.

Now we take a plastic cup and make two holes at the bottom and thread a thread through it. Pour office glue into a glass.

It turns out that there will be glue along with the thread. We wind the thread around our cone.

One cone is ready, take the next one. Let the cones dry (I placed it near the battery)

When the threads have stuck together and dried, we remove them from the frame. We remove it carefully, as if breaking out the frame. We got two cones from thread.

It's time to decorate. Along the edges of the cone we glue a wide band with hot glue.

Then we take a thin braid and glue it a little higher.

Here's how I did it. Take the second cone and do the same.

Next decoration - New Year's beads(I had them in silver). Cut it and glue it onto a cone in the shape of a ball.

Decorate with bows. I bought them at the store.

To make it bells they need to be connected to each other. We thread a thin braid through the hole and tie a knot, fixing it with glue.

This is what happens

Let's make a bow. We take a ribbon and glue thin tinsel along the edges.

We tie a bow and in the middle of it we make another bow from a wide braid.

Glue it in the middle of the resulting bow New Year's beads in the shape of a ball. We tie the cones and tie a bow to them. Here are my most beautiful ones ready bells!

Master class on making a craft “Flower for Mom” We won’t buy a gift for mom, we’ll make it ourselves. You can embroider her a scarf.

Very soon we will celebrate perhaps the most important holiday not only in our country, but throughout the world - Victory Day. He gave it.

Hello my dear! Every year, both in kindergarten and school, an autumn festival is held, which is accompanied by an exhibition of crafts.

To make a basket we will need: 1. Two sheets of yellow and green corrugated cardboard. 2. Scissors. 3. Stapler. 4. Stationery.

We present to your attention a master class on creating a ritual doll, the Bell. This doll came to us from Valdai; according to legend, it carries the powers of a talisman against diseases and other evil spirits. Cheerful and playful, the Bell doll is considered a doll of good news and good mood.

Our ancestors have long attributed healing and protective properties to the ringing of a bell. In difficult times, be it the invasion of plague or enemy force, bells were always rung so that troubles would pass by. And on holidays, bells were added to the harness, and then their chimes were heard throughout Valdai.

The doll was considered a good gift for weddings and christenings. After all, by giving such a doll to a loved one, you wish him family well-being, happiness and health. We will tell you how to make a bell.

Making a bell charm

To make a bell with your own hands, we will need the following materials and tools:

• three scraps of fabric for skirts;
• a piece of fabric for a shirt;
• a piece of fabric for a scarf;
• wide braid on the warrior;
• ribbon on the belt;
• a ball of synthetic fluff;
• threads for dressing;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• compass.

Operating procedure

1. The bell doll traditionally has three skirts, symbolizing the three components of a person: body, mind and soul. It was believed that only then a person is happy when his mind is in harmony with his body and soul. We take a flap for the petticoat and draw a circle with a diameter of 30 cm. The most convenient way to do this is with a compass.
2. Each subsequent skirt will be 5 cm smaller than the previous one. Cut out the circles. We should get three circles: 30.25 and 20 cm in diameter. Next, we take synthetic fluff and roll it into a small ball, to which we tie a bell.
3. We place it on the largest circle, on the wrong side. Turn it over and make sure that the ball is strictly in the center of the workpiece. Then we tie it with red thread.
4. There is a red thread in master classes on creating amulets dolls for a reason. It's all about the protective properties of red color against the evil eye and other troubles. And it is the red woolen thread that has long been the very first amulet for a baby.
5. A doll is already beginning to emerge. In the same way, we put two more skirts on her, tying each with red thread. On top we will put a shirt on our amulet doll.
6. For the shirt, we will need a square piece of fabric measuring 20 by 20 cm. We place the opposite corners of the square on top of each other and put it on top of the doll. We bandage the head ball in the place where previous bandages have already been made.
7. We need to make arms from the ends of the shirt protruding from the sides. First, we bend the edges of the material inward, then fold it in half and tie it, departing 1 cm from the edge. We make the sleeve on the other side in the same way.
8. All that remains is to make a warrior and a scarf. The warrior of a talisman doll should traditionally have embroidery. You can take thick fabric and embroider it or use ready-made embroidered braid.
9. We put the warrior on the doll's head. For the scarf, we cut out a triangle from thin cotton with 30 cm sides. We bend the edge of the scarf inward and put it on top of the warrior.
10. We tie the scarf crosswise across the doll's chest and tie it at the back. All that remains is to put on the belt and decorate with ribbons. The bell amulet doll is ready to protect you and your family.

And finally, I would like to give some advice. You need to start making amulets in a good mood, with positive thoughts in mind. Only then will the doll become a real amulet for you. Good luck and creative success.

It's no secret that New Year's decorations should be especially bright and colorful. As a result of a shopping trip, buying everything that "glitters", an interesting idea came up for creating a New Year's toy. So, I'm starting mine master- Christmas tree making class bells.

During the work you will need:

Tile adhesive, super glue

Scissors, stationery knife (or medical knife), awl, stapler

Double-sided tape, regular tape (preferably narrow)

Knitting threads, cords, buttons

Wrapping paper, foil, Christmas tinsel, Christmas balls, baby shampoo caps "Karapuz".

Plastic bottle (5 liters)- 3 pieces.

Manufacturing stages:

Bell No. 1

(4.5cm) and lower part (9cm) (radius 4 to 5 cm)

2. Then glue it

(or foil)- to do this, stick double-sided tape randomly onto the bottle.

4. Now find the center of the wrong side of the wrapping paper (or foil) and place the bottle as shown in the photo.

And we sequentially wrap our bottle with paper (for convenience, I cut the paper into 5 sectors, carefully cut everything inside and secure it with tape.

5. Install the ball suspension. To do this, I take two buttons,

I pass the thread inside the bottle through the holes of the button (or cord) for attaching the ball,

I secure it with a second button at the top.

Christmas tree

Manufacturing stages:

Bell No. 2 and No. 3.

We repeat the steps with minor changes.

1. Cut off the top of a plastic bottle (4.5cm) and lower part (9cm). At the bottom we cut out a circle with a larger radius than the hole at the top. (radius 4 to 5 cm). In the resulting circle, using an awl, we make a hole for attaching a pendant with a ball.

2. Then glue it (use ceiling glue or super glue) Inside the bottle at the top is the resulting circle.

3. Prepare the bottle for fixing the wrapping paper on it (or foil)- to do this, stick double-sided tape at the bottom and in the middle of the bottle.

4. Cut a strip of wrapping paper (35 cm).

We apply our bottle very carefully to the wrong side of the paper. (stepping back 9 cm from the edge) and wrap it around it.

We fold the top and secure it with tape.

We trim everything inside evenly and secure it with tape.

5. Install the ball suspension. To do this, I take two buttons and pass a thread through the holes of the button inside the bottle. (or cord) To attach the ball, I secure it with a second button on top.

6. Then glue it with double-sided tape Christmas tree tinsel and fix it with a stapler for reliability.

The third bell I used a baby shampoo cap instead of a ball. wrapped in foil.

As a result we will get beautiful bells.

Each handmade toy carries a piece of magic, kindness and love.

A good fisherman's equipment is always in perfect order. After all, otherwise you won’t be able to wait for a rich catch. A big role when assembling the tackle is played by the bite alarm, which must be quite sensitive in time to record the fact of the approach of the fish, thereby prompting the fisherman the time to hook and fish.

Many commercial alarms are similar in principle of operation. There are devices that perform both sound and light functions. It is quite possible to make a simple mechanical device like a bell or rattle with your own hands, which will be no worse than purchased models, and the savings will be decent. The bell is mainly used for feeder fishing by attaching it to the tip of the spinning rod.

As vibrations appear in the water, the device will begin to make sounds, and the fisherman will no longer miss his prey. How to make a bell yourself with good sensitivity when casting gear over long distances, what material is required, how the device will operate should be considered in more detail in the form of step-by-step instructions in this article.

How to make a bell with your own hands?

A bell is a simple acoustic bite alarm, the features of which include:

• no interference when fishing;
• cheap and can be invented from scrap materials;
• ease of use;
• quick bite recognition;
• sound signals without delay;
• Can be used for day or night fishing.

During fishing, the alarm begins to act like a rattle, immediately emitting vibrations in the water when biting. Of course, you can buy a regular bell in a store and make modifications to improve the signals.

To save money, it’s easy to make the device yourself at home:

• cut a ring 1.5 cm long from a rubber hose with thin walls (3 mm in diameter);
• make a small cut on one side of the hose to obtain an oval;
• pull off one side of the rubber, cut;
• pass a bolt of a suitable size through the bell eye;
• drill a small hole along the diameter of the bolt on the cut side of the rubber ring;
• insert the bolt through this hole with the head facing inward;
• wind the fishing line around a circle 1 m long;
• tighten in the form of a loop;
• connect the bell, tightening it with a nut;
• screw in another nut to secure the first one.

The result should be a bell with a rubber hook, which will remain suspended on the fishing line closer to the tip of the fishing rod to avoid losing the device at the time of hooking.

This design is quite simple and will begin to work immediately after casting the tackle and when the fish approaches.

What will you need for this?

For mounting a bell, the material at hand can actually be anything:

• springs, contacts from an old alarm clock;
• pieces of plastic;
• LEDs (can be removed from an old mobile phone);
• batteries (3 V);
• reed switch (can be removed from any radio component);
• magnet for mounting to a metal plate;
• insulating tape;
• metal thin plates;
• light tubes to simplify the process of tracking fishing when fishing on a feeder at night;
• dye.

Tools

To make a classic version of a bell-shaped rattle you will need:

• clips, ordinary clothespins for fixing to the feeder tackle;
• rubber band for securing the bell;
• wire;
• nuts or bolts;
• threads;
• needle;
• hollow balls with bearings to create a sound effect;
• spiral wire (10-12 cm length);
• LED, indicator, if desired, make an electronic luminous device.

A bell as a bite alarm is an excellent device when fishing on a feeder for modern hooking.

Manufacturing

You can make a signaling device even better than other purchased models, which often malfunction. This way the bell can turn out to be correct, which will avoid false bites and fish escapes, and it can be used for quite a long time. When hooking, the device will not fly off the tackle, and therefore interfere with the fishing process.

When making a simple homemade sound device, the steps are as follows:

• take the spiral wire 10-12 cm long;
• take the bells in the form of two hollow balls with bearings inside;
• attach to the wire;
• place a clothespin on one side of the wire, press one of the sides of the bell;
• attach the bells to the tackle stand, leaving a small gap to ensure free movement of the bell and timely transmission of vibrations on the water.

To produce a mechanical side bite alarm for fishing with bottom tackle, thereby providing the best signals on the water, which is important in difficult weather conditions you can go the following way:

• take a springy steel wire 20 cm long;
• give it an arc shape;
• attach one end to a metal tube by first drilling a hole and bending the tube at an angle of 90 degrees
• attach the wire to the tube using Moment glue
• process all connections;
• select a mounting clamp and drill holes in it;
• insert the tube into it so that it is parallel to the fishing rod;
• screw the tube into the hole so that it is fixed quite steadily and does not move;
• put the clamp on the fishing rod.

Such a signaling device will bend to the feeder when the tackle is pulled at the moment of bites.

pros

Bells are simple mechanical sound structures that you can make with your own hands, having handy materials on hand. There are different variations of attaching the structure to feeder or spinning gear.

The main advantages of a simple device:

• excellent performance in any weather;
• Possibility of use when fishing in reservoirs with winding banks and many cliffs;
• adaptability to modifications as necessary by manufacturing, for example, electronic devices;
• no breakdowns when wet or sudden jerks of the fish
• ease of use;
• no interference when fishing due to the lightness of the device;
• creating a rather enjoyable fishing experience.

The main thing is to assemble the bell correctly so that the signals do not arrive late, and the device accurately predicts the moments for making hooks, especially when catching fish from a long distance.

Improvement of the bite alarm “bell”

You can increase the sensitivity and functionality of the alarm if you modify it, again on your own, without buying expensive devices.

So, in order to obtain a device with a firefly - a beacon, you will need to work:

• foil or chocolate wrappers, which can be twisted into a tube around the main fishing line;
• side nod in the form of a metal rod by attaching one end to the top of the feeder tackle to increase sensitivity;
• chemical capsules(2 pcs) with a substance inside to create a glow on the water, when a chemical reaction occurs as a result of one capsule bursting and mixing with the contents of another;
• piezoelectric element, which can be taken as the basis for the design;
• magnet with sensor when, when connecting elements, sound signals will quickly arrive at the sensor;
• squeaker, taken out of a children's toy to make an electronic device yourself;
• pendulum indicators to repel bites when using bottom gear;
• plastic tube with a loop at the end for connecting a bell.

On a note! When using a pendulum indicator, the main thing is to install it correctly in relation to the fishing rod, i.e. at an angle of 45 degrees, so that it promptly reflects the strengthening and weakening of the tensioned main line.

So, as a simple modification to add a light effect to the bell, you can take 2 chemical ampoules and attach them to the top of the fishing rod or the side nod. The indicator will begin to create the effect of photoluminescence and glow on water when one ampoule is destroyed and the chemical compositions are mixed. When biting, you will need to pull the feeder rod slightly towards you. The bites will be clearly visible even with a strong current in the reservoir.

How to catch more fish?

I have been active fishing for quite some time and have found many ways to improve the bite. And here are the most effective:

1. . Attracts fish in cold and warm water with the help of pheromones included in the composition and stimulates its appetite. It’s a pity that Rosprirodnadzor wants to impose a ban on its sale.
2. More sensitive gear. Reviews and instructions for other types of gear can be found on the pages of my website.
3. Lures using pheromones.

You can get the rest of the secrets of successful fishing for free by reading my other materials on the site.

Modification of the bite alarm holder

As they gain experience, many fishermen begin to finalize and modify their gear, taking into account the characteristics of the reservoir and weather conditions. Usually, modifications take place directly at the fishing site by using handy materials or materials found by chance.

To modify the alarm holder, which is important when arranging a large number of gear and visually tracking everything at the same time, you need:

• take a rubber hose with a diameter of 3 cm and thin walls;
• cut a ring 15 cm wide;
• make a cut on the ring;
• thread it through the ear of the bell;
• secure with a bolt.

Hand-made bells have a special sound that can no longer be confused with the sounds of nearby fishermen - neighbors.

Assembling the “bell”

The feeder itself is quite sensitive gear, but with a strong gust of wind or breaking waves, the visibility of bites is significantly reduced. In this case, a side signaling device or a quivertip, which you can buy, comes to the rescue.

If the homemade device in the form of a rattle or bell is ready, then all that remains is to assemble it and test it in operation:

• attach a nod to a fishing rod, placing it on a plastic clamp at an angle of 45 degrees;
• stretch out through a nod main line;
• bend down as close to the fishing rod as possible;
• mount at the end of the arc is a magnet;
• connect the battery to the fishing rod, LED, tweeter, reed switch, if you need to create a light and sound device;
• attach the bell to the fishing line wire to achieve greater sound;
• make a vertical cut in the lower part of the tube, retreating approximately 1/3 from its height;
• stop the structure a locking ring so that it moves heavily back and forth in order to determine the degree of depth of the gear when lowered into the water.

If you buy a regular bell, you can assemble the alarm as follows:

• take a wine cork, drill a hole in the middle for the bell;
• pierce the cork diagonally with a needle and thread so that the needle goes into the drilled hole;
• drop a little glue onto the ear of the bell;
• drill a hole in the cork so that the eye fits tightly;
• after the glue has dried, make a slot for the fishing line over the cork;
• connect the structure together, leaving a free end of the fishing line of the required length.

Thus, you can make an electronic alarm yourself and thereby simplify the fishing process.

Price

The price of bells can vary from 15 to 240 rubles, depending on the material used and the accessories included in the model:

• single bell brand SIWEDIA – 8-10 rub. .;
• double bell made of plastic with a clothespin - 9 RUR .;
• bell in the form of double bells – 10-12 rub. .;
• luminescent firefly – 10-12 rub. .;
• device with double firefly nest - 15 rub. .;
• device in the form of a large round bell in gold - 39 RUR .;
• sleeve on a clothespin - 54 RUR .

Experienced fishermen are quick to advise:

• use a more sensitive nod when making a bell made of a thin metal plate;
• when using light tubes to make fireflies, it is advisable to paint them in bright colors;
• It is preferable to make side bite alarms yourself rather than buying expensive devices that can quickly break down or cannot withstand getting wet or sudden jerks of fish;
• When casting gear, it is better to turn off the sound alarm, so as not to unnecessarily disturb the fish that may be nearby.

If the bell is properly made using diagrams, instructions and recommendations from experienced fishermen, it is quite possible to make a good alarm with efficiency and functionality no worse than that of other purchased models.

How long has it been since you had a really BIG CATCH?

When was the last time you caught dozens of HUGE pike/carp/bream?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perch, but ten kilogram pikes - what a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone can do it.

A good catch can be achieved (and we know this) thanks to good bait.

It can be prepared at home or bought in fishing stores. But stores are expensive, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be fair, homemade bait does not always work well.

You know that disappointment when you buy bait or prepare it at home and only catch three or four bass?

So maybe it’s time to use a truly working product, the effectiveness of which has been proven both scientifically and in practice on the rivers and ponds of Russia?

It gives the same result that we cannot achieve on our own, especially since it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on production - you order it, it’s delivered and you’re good to go!

Of course, it is better to try once than to hear a thousand times. Moreover, now is the season! This is a great bonus when ordering!
