Creating a Russian Traditional Ten-Handed Helper Doll from Bast

I want to bring to your attention a ten-handed helper doll.

A ten-handed halper helps with housework. This doll has many hands, the work goes with a swing.

That is an amulet doll, so before making it, tune in to something really good, come back to your feminine nature — pг all worries aside, relax, fill with joy and love. Because this doll will be your faithful assistant and ally. Making magic!

So, the materials

- bast

- sanitary flax

- thread of 5 colours — make sure that there are red threads.

Divide the bast into 2 parts: for body and for 5 hands. Tie the bast for body with threads in the middle. Bend it in the middle and pass a strand of flax there.

Braid it.

Twine the head (to make the neck).

Make arms. 5 sticks per 10 hands. Wind bast (all what was left and divided into 5 parts) with different threads. Be sure there was red. Wind from edge to edge twice.

Insert the arms inside (try to fix them in the middle) and band the chest criss-cross. Band 3 times.

Remove all unnecessary threads and extra bast. The doll is ready! Hug it and share some love!
