If you decide to make a homemaker with your own hands, you have a huge choice of how to do it. The brownie, although it has a number of obligatory features - the creature is very free in its image. And knowing only the basic techniques, you can create your own personal and unique defender of the hearth.
Instructions
Step 1
Go online in search of inspiration, look for cartoons, pictures or things with brownies, see what has already happened before you and what you can bring new. In order to recharge with additional ideas, read various legends and stories about the brownie: who he serves in the house and how he was represented in ancient times in Russia. All this will help you create your own unique image.
Step 2
Visit an embroidery store. Take whatever you like: any color of thread, fabric, inserts and cutouts. Buy details of small decor: a basket, a heart, bugs, flowers, and whatever you like. Remember, there is no standard to be followed in the creation of this mythical creature. In addition, buy all the necessary tools - a set of needles, a finger guard (thimble), a pillow for needles and a few safety pins to help with the work. Try to buy whatever you want. These things are inexpensive, but they are a pleasure to work with. A toy made with love is always a good toy.
Step 3
Sew the body of the brownie from pieces of fabric and stuff them with the material at hand: rags, cotton wool, or something else. After the body is ready, start "animating" it. A large bushy beard, kind lively eyes and funny bast shoes, as a rule, are symbols of what a brownie looks like in the 21st century. It is possible that he is wearing a fancy tuxedo and has a pierced right ear. So don't be afraid to experiment.
