Keychain in the Yakut national style

Conventional key chains and pendants sold in stores look corny and ordinary. We offer you to sew with your own hands a small accessory in the Yakut national style called "Chapparah". This chapparah was previously thrown onto a horse with a saddle. Chapparah is now used during the summer national holiday "ysyakh". We will make a small copy of such a chaparah, a little larger than a matchbox. Such an accessory is now very relevant, it looks very beautiful.
Step 1) What you need: drape of any color, preferably natural natural colors like red, green, yellow; beads of different colors, matching the color of the fabric; needle; thread; scissors; soap or chalk.
Step 2) Determine the size of the product, select the color of the fabric. Chapparah consists of two layers of fabric: the base and the inside. They should be of different colors, preferably dark and light. With soap, we draw a base on the fabric, which is symmetrical on the sides (see figure). On the second fabric, draw the inside. It should be 4-5 mm smaller than the base. Both parts are carefully cut out.
Step 3) We put both parts on top of each other. We process the edge of the base with an even seam so that the threads do not protrude from the edge. We install the inner part on the base and sew on it in any convenient, but beautiful and durable way.
Step 4) Choose the beads that fit the product in size and color. Since our product is small, beads should be chosen small. Glass, not plastic beads will do. We chose red round. Using a thin needle, embroider with beads the Yakut national pattern, meaning happiness, wealth. It was believed that the more beautiful and richer this pattern, the more authoritative the owner of this chapparaaha. The pattern shape pattern is easy to find on the Internet. You should get such a pattern. Then we put in golden bugles on the spaces between the red beads, or any other beads that differ in color from red, otherwise it will not be visible. In the end we get such a pattern.
Step 5) Our mini-accessory is almost ready. It remains only to make pendant beads. To do this, select several types of beads in different colors. We create a combination of flowers, and in the easiest way we make beautiful, small pendants. The main thing is not to pull the thread too tight. In this case, the pendants will be uneven and too hard. It should be very beautiful. Different colors enliven the overall look of the accessory.
Step 6) The back of the chaprach after sewing does not look very neat, since the rear threads are visible. In this case, if necessary, you can carefully glue the adhesive material with an iron, or sew any thin fabric. It is important that this fabric is invisible in front and does not spoil the shape of the product.
So, our mini chaparah is ready! Now you can proudly carry it with a phone, bag, etc. You can also make mittens in the same way, and also wear it like a keychain. These mini key chains look great as a gift. Good luck and wear it with pleasure.
