The amulet doll or Vepsian doll is one of the oldest amulet dolls. For such a doll, scraps of old worn out clothes are used. For filling, use a linen tow, hemp or thread. Following the traditions of making amulet dolls, in no case should you use a needle and scissors. The fabric only needs to be torn, all the details of the doll must be tied together. The ancestors also believed that if you paint the face of a doll, an evil spirit will move into it. The amulet doll carries a special energy. The Vepsian doll is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. The creation of the amulet doll is a simple and fun process. The most important thing is that there should be only positive emotions.
