Small miniature matroshkas are popular lucky charms on key rings. The small figures are first made and then painted with colourful flower patterns.
It's as simple as that
For a matryoshka you need a drilled Wooden ball Ø 20 mm and a wooden egg, 30 mm. These give the head and body of the mini figure. These two are placed on a wooden stick, secured with adhesive tape and primed white. After drying, paint the wooden eggs yellow and honey-yellow, the Wooden balls skin color. Apply the paint opaque, possibly by applying a second coat of paint.
Now paint the black hair and with a fine-liner the face . The body is painted with small ornaments like dots, flowers, tendrils or leaves. Use strong colours like Orange, Red, White, light blue, Honey Yellow, Green or Gold.
Seal the painted wooden parts after drying with glossy Clear varnish . Now lay 8 cm satin cord to a loop, pull the loop through the Wooden ball and glue it into the wooden egg with glue.
Cut a small triangle with long tips out of red Felt (head scarf). Cut a small slit in the headscarf, pull the Cord through and fix the headscarf with hot glue on the head. Finally, the cord loop on the head of the figure is attached to the key ring eyelet.
