First of March Decoration

Once before we mentioned to you the tradition of ‘Baba Marta’ (grandma March).  If you miss it, you could check again in our previous post. Today we will continue the topic with this type of decoration. 

We'll show you how to make yarn figures, which are very specific for this holiday. And how to use it in different kinds of decoration.

 For this purpose you will need white and red yarn, scissors and will for handicraft :).

 Let's get started.

Roll the yarn around your four fingers.

 Remove it from your hand. Tie at one of the ends, as shown in the picture.

  Now tie it with the other color near the end, to form a head.

Cut at the other end. 

 You already have a finished figure. Now do the same, but on the other color  :).

If you think ‘I've already done, it was easy’, you are mistaken. Because it was only the beginning :).

Now take two different colored pieces of yarn and roll it around each other.

  As a result you should have a string. 

 

 Thread the string over the heads of the little men, and make a ribbon.

 In Bulgaria we call this ”martenitsa” :).

Because winter is the season of the wine, we have left some empty bottles. Maybe you too. Now we will use it in our decoration. Take a few and clean it well. Put some branches without leaves in the bottles. Hang the martenitsas on the branches. Our winter tree is ready to welcome the spring :).

I hope you like our idea. If you have any questions, we will be glad to help :).

Materializing your ideas, it’s easy :)
