Hello everyone, today I want to share with you my work, I will try to tell you how I did this birch bark product. I want to note that each birch bark product made by me is truly unique.

Stage 1

In order to make this birch bark product I needed birch bark which was prepared in advance. Harvesting takes a certain period of time, when the birch gives the juice. There is a sign : when the wild rose bloomed and withered dandelion. Time to go.

Stage 2

So we have prepared the birch bark, choose the one that we need. I chose the suitable 2 sheets, in the craft they are called “shirt”, the outer shirt its size is 35.5 cm and the inner shirt is 34.7 cm, the one with less build – up and will be the outer part of the product.

Stage 3

I need two shirts to collect the cylinder. For this I make a “castle” I need a chisel for wood, then clean the growths on the bark.

Stage 7

I disassemble, and on the front side (outer shirt) come up with an ornament, for this I need tools for embossing, which previously did himself. We draw, measure, come up with a picture in my head.
