This master class will teach you how to make a wedding sieve with your own hands and decorate it

Today I want to offer a tutorial on how to create a “wedding sieve” yourself from available materials that can be found in any home.
Rice. 1 Sweets, money, grain and nuts are usually poured into such a sieve. When the newlyweds leave the bride's house, the girl's mother showers them from head to toe with symbols of family wealth from the wedding sieve. A wedding is a wonderful and brightest day, so you want everything to be great! And even simple little things, for example, a sieve, should not be ordinary, but beautifully decorated elements for the wedding. To make your own “wedding sieve” that gives abundance to newlyweds, you will need:

• regular sieve;
• satin ribbon 5 cm wide;
• glue gun and any good quick-drying glue;
• nylon lace in the color of the ribbon;
• satin roses measuring 1-1.5 cm in the color of the ribbon and lace;
• blue boutonnieres.

Take a simple wooden sieve. Glue a satin ribbon to the very top edge. I took pink. After gluing the main tape, take the lace of your choice. Glue the lace very carefully to the bottom of the ribbon. Make small tucks (folds) every 1.5-2 cm to create small waves.
Rice. 2 When the entire circle of lace is finished, cut it 1.5 cm longer than the first seam and make a final tuck with 1.5 cm of lace. Do not glue the cut edge of the lace, only the upper part - like throughout the sieve.

Rice. 3 and Fig. 4 There will be a small space under the lace, undecorated. You can leave it just like that - under the lace this place will not be visible.
Rice. 5 Then take a sieve and prepare blue boutonnieres - I removed the artificial blue flowers they were sold with in advance from mine.
Rice. 6 Glue the boutonnieres all over the circle, leaving a distance of 3 cm between them (you can first mark the location of each flower on the tape with chalk).
Rice. 7 Our sieve is almost ready! The only thing left is to glue the small satin flowers onto the blue boutonnieres. I also took pink flowers.
Rice. 8 First apply a small bead of glue to the back of the rose.
Rice. 9 With your other hand at this time you need to push the mesh on the boutonniere...
Rice. 10 ... and glue our rose to the center where it is connected.
Rice. 11 I did not decorate the inside of the sieve with anything, because... it will be filled to the top with all sorts of gifts and it will not be visible. That's all! Our magical “wedding sieve” that brings prosperity to the newlyweds is ready!
Rice. 12 Thank you all very much for your attention to my MK.

My sister and I went to buy wedding accessories and were very upset. The prices are outrageous, the materials are of disgusting quality, the beauty is questionable, and it’s quite difficult to combine everything in one style. One word - consumer goods.

But a wedding is a unique event. I would like to believe that this will happen for the first and last time in my sister’s life, so everything needs to be at the highest level. So we dared to decorate the wedding sieve with our own hands.

For the wedding sieve we needed to buy:

• the sieve itself - 12 UAH.
• a piece of white satin 1.5 m wide and 30 cm long for 15 UAH. per meter - 4.50 UAH.
• wide satin ribbon - 1.5 m. 3 UAH each. - 4.5 UAH.
• narrower satin ribbon - 1.5 m. 1.5 - 2.25.
• polymer clay flower for decoration
• I think everyone has threads
• ABOUT! I almost forgot about the double-sided tape! A very convenient thing when there is no way to sew it neatly.

How to make a wedding sieve with your own hands:

The usual, cheapest sieve needs to be wrapped in white paper so that the unevenness is smoothed out and the color of the wood does not show through.

Using a strip of paper, measure the required width of the fabric cut, mark the fold line, the inner and outer edges.

Add 0.5 cm along the edges for a loose fit. You will need it after gathering the fabric. We mark the stitching lines with a very thin pencil along the wrong side. The main thing is that it is not visible from the front side of the fabric.

Singe the edges of the fabric over a candle to prevent fraying.

We sew all three lines using a regular stitch on a machine, but change the tension of the upper thread. I set it to the maximum - 9. For an even seam, I set it to 6.5. In this case, the fabric gathers evenly on its own. At the end, do not tack and release longer threads. If the length of the gathered fabric is not long enough to wrap the sieve, you can manually slightly straighten the gathered fabric to the desired length. The main thing is to do it evenly. When the length of the gathered fabric is equal to the diameter of the sieve, add 1 cm for the loose fit and 0.5 cm on both sides for the seam (total +2 cm). We tie knots with the ends of the threads so that the adjusted width of the fabric does not change.

We fold the fabric with the right side inward, match the stitches and sew together using a regular smooth seam - do not forget to correctly adjust the tension of the upper thread.

We put the fabric on the sieve, aligning the middle gathering seam with the top edge of the wedding sieve.

We glue double-sided tape along the inside of the sieve along the bottom edge, bend the edges of the fabric and press the fabric to the tape. It is necessary to ensure that the folds are perpendicular so that the fabric does not become beveled.

Similarly, we glue the tape along the outer base of the sieve and also fold the fabric and press it to the tape.

We place the satin ribbons on top of each other and, having measured the circumference of the sieve, sew them together. We singe the cuts. We put the resulting hoop on a sieve - it will tightly press the glued fabric from the outer edge.

All that remains is to decorate the sieve with a bow.

Place the ribbons one on top of the other, fold them facing outwards and stitch along the narrow ribbon, setting aside the planned width of the top bow from the fold. The bottom bow should be slightly wider.

We fold the free ends of the ribbon to the middle with the wrong side inward, forming a second (lower or larger) bow. We sew, securing with a stitch the position of the lower bow at the very middle.

This is what you should get:

We carefully center and straighten the bow blank made from satin ribbons, and sew it together with a couple of stitches. Glue a flower with a bead onto the stitches. You need to glue it very carefully. The drop of glue should be very small. It’s better to drop a small drop of glue, let it harden completely, then drop another small drop of glue onto the same place and only then press the flower. Then the glue will not spread across the fabric.

Wedding sieve made of satin fabric and tulle

Sprinkling the newlyweds with a sieve is a fun and beautiful ritual, which also has symbolic meaning. Usually this is done by the mother of the bride, but all interested guests can join her. And for the process to be truly festive, you need to decorate the sieve beautifully, and you can do this with your own hands.

How else you can elegantly and delicately decorate a sieve for a wedding with your own hands, you will find out by watching the video:

1. Sieve

This accessory is now rarely used. A sieve is an attribute of a traditional Russian wedding. Parents poured cereal or small coins into a sieve, and then showered them on the newlyweds. It was believed that this brings happiness and wealth. If you have a Russian-style wedding, then you can include this tradition in its program.

2. Baskets or bags for rose petals

Every detail is important at a wedding. If you are planning to hold a ceremony of showering the newlyweds with rose petals, then it should be beautiful. Plastic bags of all colors, in which petals are still often placed, will not decorate what is happening. In addition to their unsightly appearance, they have another drawback: they rustle loudly. Therefore, it is better to order special baskets or beautiful fabric or paper bags for the petals.

3. Plate

This item also came to the modern wedding from the Russian traditional one, just like the sieve. Previously, in front of registry offices or restaurants, you could often see the following picture: newlyweds breaking glasses or a plate on the asphalt. There is such a sign: broken dishes are lucky. Perhaps the newlyweds became happier after this, but it is unlikely that the employees of restaurants and registry offices, who then had to remove this glass from the road.

That’s why a special plate was invented as a wedding accessory. It is placed in a special beautiful fabric bag. After the newlyweds break it, the fragments do not scatter in different directions, but remain in it. If desired, they can be kept as a souvenir.

4. Parental candles or candles for the hearth

One of the most beautiful and beloved wedding rituals is the ceremony of handing over the family hearth. For her, a set of candles is needed - two for mothers and one large one for the newlyweds. You can read how this ritual takes place.

5. Bombonnieres for guests

These are little keepsakes for your guests to thank you for coming to your wedding. Any pleasant little thing can act as bombonnieres: chocolate, cookies, honey, small plants in pots, and so on. Often, bombonnieres are matched to the style of the wedding. They definitely need to be beautifully decorated.

6. Dummy bouquet or duplicate bouquet

This bouquet is needed by those brides who do not want to throw their own to their bridesmaids. Sometimes the bride’s bouquet is too big or heavy, and it’s simply scary to throw it away. Or it is not made very durable, and may fall apart in flight. In this case, the bride throws the double, and then gives the real bouquet to the friend who catches it.

7. Money chest

This is a beautiful decorated box in which guests can put their envelopes with gifts. The advantages of this solution are beauty, convenience and safety. With a chest, it is almost impossible to lose any gift.

8. Decorated champagne bottles

Sieve - a symbol of abundance. Surely every home has at least a small strainer for straining tea or herbal decoction. And housewives who love to pamper their loved ones with fresh baked goods have a large sieve for sifting flour.
It looks like an ordinary object, but it contains so much symbolism, meaning and secrets. In ancient times, a sieve was used not only for its intended purpose - sifting through bulk material, but also as a talisman, in fortune telling and even in treatment.

Sieve - a symbol of heaven and fertility

Among the Slavic peoples, the words “sieve” and “sow” have always been closely connected with each other.
When healthy grain was sifted from the husk through a sieve, a rich harvest was already born. Sifting in this case was considered as an act of purification not only of the sowing grain, but also of the peasant himself.

People of Christian culture believe that the sieve is very similar to the vault of heaven, and the light rain was called rush and was considered healing.

A very similar meaning of the sieve is described in Hinduism: the sky is like a sieve for the juice squeezed out of Soma (the lord of the nectar of delight), the drops of which turn into rain of fertility. Moreover, Hindus symbolize with the sieve the discerning kindness of God.

The picture shows an unusual use of a sieve in the interior.

How was the sieve used in treatment?

It is believed that a sieve can cure headaches, migraine if you hold it above your head.
Any water poured through a sieve became medicinal. Such water could heal not only humans, but also animals and plants.

Let's remember how the heroes of some fairy tales were forced to carry water in a sieve. Although this was considered a waste of time, such a test was a real test of intelligence and ingenuity.
In this case, the sieve symbolizes the conscience and spirit of a person, his ability to accept or reject. This is how they cured the red youth’s excessive pride. And only the one who passed the test was the one who listened to the wise advice of the smaller brothers - the birds and the mice. Having covered the bottom of the sieve with clay, the young man could bring water.

Hence another symbolic meaning of the sieve is the separation of the faithful from the infidel. Whoever passed the test became baptized in the spirit (wind).

The sieve is a symbol of prudence

Give an old sieve a new life. Interior decoration at the dacha

In this case, we mean an allegory that has taken the form and appearance of Prudence (with a capital P, like a great personality).
You shouldn’t lose your prudence over anything...

Remember how Ostap Bender traded a tea strainer for a chair at Ellochka the Ogress? How her eyes widened and sparkled when she saw the overseas contraption, which had extraordinary success in the best houses of London and Paris...

Wedding sieve - a symbol of a container for gifts

The sieve at the wedding of modern newlyweds is becoming less and less common.
Slavic peoples have at least two wedding ceremonies involving a sieve.

1. As soon as the groom leaves the house to pick up his bride, aunts, mothers and nannies come up to him with a sieve. They pour water into a sieve and ask the groom to drink some water. The water flows past and does not get into the groom’s mouth. And the aunties sing: “May you drink as much sorrow in life as you drink from a sieve of water.”
2. When the newlyweds leave the house, the bride's mother showers them with symbols of wealth and family prosperity - candy, grain, nuts, coins. All this stuff is put into a sieve, which is beautifully decorated in advance for the wedding.

I will sprinkle rye on you so that your family will be good,
I'm showering you with spring wheat so you can be a nice couple.
And now some candy for babies to be born
And copper so that you are not poor.

What else can the word “sieve” mean?

• The Egyptians with the sieve symbolize legibility, i.e. sifting, selective use of the help of higher spiritual forces. According to Egyptian legends, some witches traveled on siths.
• The words “sieve”, “sieve” and the like are also derivatives of the word “sieve”. If you suddenly hear “sieve tree” or “sieve tree” (tree, plant, stump, radish), this means that the tree is rotten, empty, flabby. If we apply this meaning to a person, it will mean that this person is also empty, spiritually.
• Proverb “Beat the sieve if the sieve doesn’t fit” means to act according to the situation, to do what is possible at the moment.

This is how a simple kitchen item can become both a talisman in the house and a healer. It can have a beneficial effect on spiritual development and personify the ability to separate eternal values ​​from perishable things.
