It's no secret that new Year decoration should be especially bright and colorful. As a result of a shopping trip, buying everything that "glitters", appeared interesting idea for creating New Year's toys. So I start my master- Christmas tree making class bells.

In the course of work, you will need:

Tile adhesive, super glue

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

double sided tape, regular tape (better narrow)

Knitting threads, cords, buttons

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

Plastic bottle (5 liters)- 3 pieces.

Manufacturing steps:

Bell number 1

(4.5cm) and the bottom (9cm) (radius from 4 to 5 cm)

2. Then glue

(or foil)- To do this, stick double-sided tape in an arbitrary way on the bottle.

4. Now we find the center of the wrong side wrapping paper (or foil) and put 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 fix it with tape.

5. I install a suspension with a ball. To do this, I take two buttons,

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

I fix the top with a second button.

Christmas tree

Manufacturing steps:

Bell #2 and #3.

We repeat the steps with minor changes.

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

2. Then glue (use ceiling glue or super glue) inside the bottle at the top of the resulting circle.

3. Preparing a bottle for fixing 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 off a strip of wrapping paper (35 cm).

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

Fold the top over and secure with tape.

We cut everything inside evenly and fix it with tape.

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

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

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

As a result, we 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 do not wait for a rich catch. An important role in the assembly of tackle is played by a bite signaling device, which should be quite sensitive in time to fix the fact of the approach of the fish, thereby prompting the fisherman the time to hook and fish.

Many purchased signaling devices are similar to each other in terms of the principle of operation. There are devices with the performance of sound and light functions at once. It is quite possible to make a simple mechanical device like a bell or a 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 to the tip of the spinning rod.

As vibrations appear on the water, the device will begin to make sounds, and the angler will no longer miss his prey. How to make a bell yourself with good sensitivity when casting gear over long distances, what material will be required, how the device will work, it is worth considering in more detail in the form step by step instructions in this article.

How to make a bell with your own hands?

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

• lack of interference when fishing fish;
• low cost and can be invented from improvised materials;
• ease of use;
• quick recognition of bites;
• sound signals without delay;
• Can be used for day or night fishing.

The signaling device during fishing begins to act like a rattle, immediately emitting vibrations on the water when biting. Of course, you can buy a regular bell in the store and make improvements to improve the signals.

In order to save money, it is easy to make the device yourself at home:

• cut off from a thin-walled rubber hose (3 mm in diameter) a ring 1.5 cm long;
• make a small cut on one side of the hose to get an oval;
• pull off one side of the rubber, cut;
• pass a bolt of a suitable size through the eye of the bell;
• drill a small hole on the cut side of the rubber ring according to the diameter of the bolt;
• pass the bolt through this hole with the cap inside;
• wind the fishing line around a circle 1 m long;
• tighten in the form of a loop;
• connect the bell by tightening the nut;
• screw in another nut to lock the first one.

As a result, you should get a bell with a rubber hook, which will remain hanging on the fishing line closer to the tip of the fishing rod in order to avoid losing the device at the time of hooking.

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

What will be needed for this?

For mounting a bell, a handy material 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

For the manufacture of classic version jingling rattle in the form of a bell will require:

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

The bell as a bite signaling device is an excellent device when fishing on a feeder for modern strikes.

Manufacturing

It is possible to make a signaling device even better than other purchased models, which often fail in operation. So the bell can turn out to be correct, which will avoid false bites and fish coming off, 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 process of fishing.

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

• take spiral wire in length 10-12 cm;
• take bells in the form of 2 hollow balls with bearings inside;
• attach to the wire
• on one side put a clothespin on the wire, press one of the sides of the bell;
• attach the bells to the tackle rack, leaving a small gap to ensure the free movement of the bell and the timely transmission of vibrations on the water.

To make a mechanical side bite alarm for bottom tackle fishing, thus 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 the shape of an arc;
• attach one end to a metal tube, pre-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;
• pick up a mounting clamp and drill holes in it;
• insert a 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 shake;
• put a collar on the rod.

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

pros

Bells are simple mechanical sound structures that you can make yourself with handy materials. There are different variations of attaching the structure to the feeder or spinning gear.

The main advantages of a simple device:

• excellent performance in any weather;
• the possibility of using when fishing on reservoirs with winding banks and many cliffs;
• adaptability to improvements as necessary by manufacturing, for example, electronic devices;
• no breakage when wet, sharp jerks of fish
• ease of use;
• lack of interference when fishing for fish due to the ease of the device;
• creating a rather pleasant fishing process.

The main thing is to produce correct assembly a bell 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.

Refinement of the bite signaling device “bell”

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

So, as a receipt of 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;
• lateral nod in the form of a metal rod by attaching one end to the top of the feeder gear 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 bursting one capsule and mixing with the contents in another;
• piezoelectric element, which can be taken as the basis for the design;
• magnet with sensor when, when connecting the elements, the sensor will quickly receive sound signals;
• squeaker, taken out of a children's toy for self-manufacturing of an electronic device;
• indicator pendulums to reflect bites when using bottom gear;
• plastic tube with a loop at the end for attaching a bell.

On a note! When using a pendulum indicator, the main thing is to set it correctly in relation to the rod, i.e. at an angle of 45 degrees, so that it reflects the strengthening, weakening of the stretched main line in a timely manner.

So, as a simple refinement, to add a light effect to the bell, you can take 2 chemical ampoules and attach it to the top of the fishing rod or the side nod. The indicator will begin to create the effect of photoluminescence and glow on the 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. Bites will be clearly visible even with a strong current in the pond.

How to catch more fish?

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

Refinement of the holder of the bite signaling device

With the accumulation of experience, many anglers begin to complete, modify their gear, taking into account the characteristics of the reservoir, weather conditions. Usually improvements take place directly at the place of fishing by using handy and randomly found materials.

To finalize the signaling device holder, which is important when arranging a large number gear and visual tracking of all at the same time you need:

• take a rubber hose 3 cm in diameter with thin walls;
• cut a ring 15 cm wide;
• make an incision on the ring;
• thread into the ear of a bell;
• fasten with a bolt.

Do-it-yourself bells are distinguished by 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 surf, the visibility of bites is significantly reduced. In this case, a side signaling device or a quivertip, which you can buy, just comes to the rescue.

If a home-made device in the form of a rattle - a bell is ready, then it remains to assemble it and check it in operation:

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

If you buy an ordinary bell, then you can assemble the signaling device as follows:

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

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

Price

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

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

Experienced anglers are quick to advise:

• use a more sensitive nod in the manufacture of the bell from a metal thin plate;
• using light tubes for the manufacture of fireflies, it is desirable to paint them in bright colors;
• side bite alarms are preferably made independently rather than buying expensive appliances that can quickly fail, or cannot withstand getting wet, sharp jerks of fish;
• when casting tackle, it is better to turn off the sound signaling device, so as not to disturb once again the fish that may be nearby.

With the correct manufacture of a bell using diagrams, instructions and recommendations from experienced anglers, it is quite possible to make a good signaling device with efficiency and functionality no worse than other purchased models.

How long have you had a really BIG CATCH?

When last time caught dozens of HEALTHY pikes / carps / breams?

We always want to get results from fishing - to catch not three perches, but ten kilogram pikes - this will be a catch! Each of us dreams of this, but not everyone knows how.

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

It can be prepared at home, you can buy it in fishing stores. But it is expensive in stores, and to prepare bait at home, you need to spend a lot of time, and, to be honest, homemade bait does not always work well.

Do you know that disappointment when you bought bait or cooked it at home, and caught three or four bass?

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

It gives the very result that we cannot achieve on our own, all the more, it is cheap, which distinguishes it from other means and there is no need to spend time on manufacturing - ordered, brought and go!

Of course, it is better to try once than to hear a thousand times. Especially now - the season! When ordering, this is a great bonus!

Learn more about bait!

It is better to prepare for the New Year in advance. Make your own hand bells Christmas tree - a good idea. Even in the writings of ancient authors, the ability of bells to drive away evil forces was reflected. There are many options for making wind chimes from scrap materials. We have selected the most original ones.

We will need:

• Bandage or gauze.
• Eggshell.
• PVA glue.
• Tassel.
• Paints (including gold).
• Putty, beads, semolina (optional).

Manufacturing Method No. 1

We take the shell and bandage. We glue the bandage "overlap" with PVA glue.

We strengthen our bell, it should dry well.

Primed with white paint so that the shell does not shine through. When the bandage is dry, cut out the petals with scissors.

Make a hole at the top with a sharp object. The hole is for the string. Glue the husk on top and paint.

Bells are painted Easter dyes+ watercolors. The leaves of the bells can be safely bent.

Manufacturing Method No. 2

We take the shell, bandage and PVA glue. We glue the shell inside. This is also a way to strengthen the shell. Leave to dry on the battery. Then we cover the outside with white paint.

Cut off all unnecessary with scissors. Cuts easily.

After we apply putty and you can paint it with a pattern. Let's dry. We paint and go through the bulges with gold paint. We make a hole for the lace on top.

You can decorate it with beads on top, you can make a “spraying” of semolina. We coat the top with a brush with glue and sprinkle with semolina. Turn on the fantasy and make a toy.

For 1 bell you will need:

1. Styrofoam or cardboard (cone, mini size).
2. Yarn or twine.
3. Felt.
4. Palettes.
5. Decorations.

Tools:

1. Glue is universal.
2. Scissors.
3. Needle.
4. Tweezers.

We will need:

1. Plastic cups.
2. A branch of an artificial Christmas tree.
3. Spray paint.
4. Glue.
5. Beads.
6. Ribbons.
7. A piece of lace.

We take two plastic cups (you can use yogurt). We paint cups and a spruce branch with spray paint. Color can be any: golden, silver, bright red.

While the cups are drying, prepare the decoration. You can cut flowers from lace, guipure. Sew beads in the middle.

We coat the flowers with glue and attach to the bell.

We wrap the edges with yarn.

We take beautiful ribbon, we collect in the middle on a thread with a needle and make a magnificent bow.

Fasten the bow with a needle and thread. We hang on a Christmas tree or glue the bells together at an angle, glue to spruce branch and hang it on the wall with tape.

We present to your attention a master class on creating ritual doll 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 perky, 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 the bell. In difficult times, whether it be an invasion of the plague or an enemy force, they always rang the bells so that troubles were bypassed. And on holidays, bells were added to the harness, and then their chime was heard throughout Valdai.

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

Making a bell charm

To make a bell with our own hands, we 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;
• synthetic down ball;
• 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 the body and soul. We take a flap for the petticoat and draw a circle with a diameter of 30 cm. It is most convenient to do this 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 the sintepuh and roll it into a small ball, to which we tie a bell.
3. We put it on the largest circle, on the wrong side. Turn over and see that the ball is exactly in the center of the workpiece. Then we tie it with a red thread.
4. There is a red thread in the master classes for creating dolls of amulets for a reason. It's all about the protective property of red from 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. Our doll is already beginning to take shape. In the same way, we put two more skirts on her, tying each with a red thread. From above, we will put a shirt on our amulet doll.
6. For a shirt, we need a square piece of fabric measuring 20 by 20 cm. We put the opposite corners of the square one on top of the other and put it on top of the doll. We bandage the ball of the head in the place where the previous dressings have already been made.
7. From the ends of the shirt protruding on the sides, we need to make hands. First, we fold the edges of the fabric inward, then fold it in half and bandage it, stepping back 1 cm from the edge. In the same way, we make the sleeve on the other side.
8. It remains to make a warrior and a scarf. The warrior at the doll-amulet should traditionally be embroidered. You can take a thick fabric and embroider or use a ready-made embroidered braid.
9. We put a warrior on the doll's head. For a scarf, we cut out a triangle from thin cotton with sides of 30 cm. We bend the edge of the scarf inward and put it on top of the warrior.
10. We tie the scarf on the chest of the doll crosswise and tie it at the back. It remains to put on a belt and decorate with ribbons. The bell amulet doll is ready to protect you and your family.

And finally, I would like to give advice. It is necessary to start making amulets in good mood by setting up positive thoughts. Only then will the doll become a real talisman for you. Good luck and creative success.

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

Bells or balloons! That's what they told us at school. On New Year's Eve and in schools and kindergartens, parents do Christmas crafts. As we did last year christmas ball , then in this we decided to do bells. The idea how to do it came immediately. I made a ball from thread and bells I decided to do it in the same technique.

So. will do thread bells(you can floss). They will be graceful, airy, bright and will decorate your home interior to new year. For us to work need: a sheet of drawing paper (wallpaper or the like, scissors, stationery glue (PVA glue, hot melt glue (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 do it yourself, Christmas beads(determine the size yourself, decorative ornaments to choose from, adhesive tape, a plastic cup.

We take a sheet of cardboard or wallpaper (depending on what is at hand) and make two frames in the form of a cone. Fasten with tape.

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

In order for the cone not to bend, I stuffed it with wallpaper scraps.

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

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

One cone is ready, take the next. Let the cones dry (I put it next to the battery)

When the threads stick together and dry, we remove them from the frame. Remove carefully as if breaking out the frame. Got two cones thread.

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

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

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

The next decoration Christmas beads(I had them silver color) . Cut and glue on a cone in the form of a ball.

We decorate with bows. I bought them at the store.

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

Here's what happens

We make a bow. We take the tape and glue thin tinsel along the edges.

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

In the middle of the resulting bow glue Christmas beads in the form of a ball. We connect the cones and tie a bow to them. Here are my prettiest ones bells!

If you liked master-class do not forget to vote) Thank you.
