This photo tutorial will show us how to turn an ordinary gray tunic into a stylish tunic with chic fringed epaulettes and military-style chains.

Photos before and after. Do you like?

What we need:

  1. Tunic or long T-shirt with short sleeves
  2. Material for fringe. In this photo tutorial we used a material similar to the tunic itself, only a few tones darker.
  3. Scissors
  4. Chains
  5. crochet hook
  6. Pliers (pliers)

We cut out strips of material for the fringe. The strips should be different in length, but the same in width, approximately 2.5 cm. And also, they should taper at the tips.

We prepare the chains; they should also be of different lengths. We remove one link from each chain and widen it so that we can thread it into the tunic.

In the shoulder area, using nail scissors, we make small holes for the fringe.

Using a crochet hook, we thread the fringe into the holes on both sides of the shoulder seam and secure it on the back side.

In the very center between the fringes we make holes for the chains.

We thread a separate link into the hole, and then thread the chain itself into the same link. Next, we secure it with pliers.

This is such a stylish tunic, with magnificent epaulettes that you can easily make with your own hands.


I hope now you know how to make shoulder straps and epaulettes with your own hands)))

Crafts workshops on February 23 for the preparatory group

For a kindergarten, the choice of crafts for creativity is to ensure that the process is uncomplicated and can be completed within a certain time interval. In the preparatory group, children are already quite agile, so you can choose more complex figures for them. Look at the prepared master classes and perhaps educators and teachers in creative workshops will also be interested in these ideas.

How to make an airplane out of matchboxes

I present to you step-by-step instructions on how to make a simple airplane from a matchbox and cardboard.

For the craft we will need:

  • Colored double-sided cardboard
  • Matchbox
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Drawing pin

We make blanks for an airplane from cardboard:

  • The fuselage (body) of the aircraft measures 29.7 by 2 cm. The length is determined by the size of an A4 sheet of cardboard.
  • Wings 22 by 4 centimeters - 2 pieces
  • Elevator (tail) - 8 by 2 centimeters
  • Rudder - 8 by 1.5 centimeters
  • Wheels with a diameter of 5 centimeters
  • Identification stars - 4 pieces

We turn the longest strip into an airplane body. To do this, bend it in half and glue it to the box on one side and the other.

Similarly, but glue the wings across

We put strips on the box so that it does not stick out from the sides. It can also be pre-pasted with paper or painted.

Now we push the elevator through the tail section and also glue it well on the inside.

The rudder needs to be given the desired shape. Remember that for us it was a simple stripe. Now we bend it in half and bend a small part inward from each edge. So that from the side you get a volumetric triangle.

A plane cannot fly without a propeller. Therefore, we cut out the blades. One or two as you wish. We found this pushpin. It seemed to me that this was an ideal option, since in this case the blades can even be rotated, like on a real airplane.

At this stage, it is more convenient to glue identification marks, both on the wings and in the tail.

Initially, the idea was to make the chassis using toothpicks or a skewer. But since the glue was only a pencil, this idea was dropped. If you have hot glue on hand, then the wheels can be glued to such sticks. By the way, the plastic part of the cotton swabs will also work.

But in the end we decided to use the same cardboard. We cut out strips with a bend at the top and glued the wheels.

This is what the assembled airplane turned out to be like.

The test flight was successful.

Do-it-yourself eternal flame made of paper and cardboard

I also suggest you make a beautiful and literally reverent craft - an eternal flame.

For the craft we will need:

  • Colored cardboard of any color. But better than golden
  • Thin napkins in red, orange and yellow colors
  • White paper
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Ready-made star template (see below)

Print or draw a five-pointed star template yourself. For convenience, it shows guides along which you will need to make a bend both on the outside and on the inside. Transfer the workpiece to cardboard

Next, using a ruler, draw with the sharp tip of scissors or a non-writing pen in all directions, connecting the internal and external corners.

We make a hole in the center of the star.

If everything was done correctly, you should get a voluminous star like this. Note that the long guides represent the outer edge, and the short ones the inner edge.

Now let's start assembling the fire. To do this, you need to make a base in the form of a bag, as grandmothers used to do for seeds. There should be no holes at the bottom so that in the future you can easily place it in the center of the star. In order for the shape to hold well, you need to glue the cone along the edge and fix it.

Cut strips from napkins. Moreover, the napkin does not need to be unfolded.

Glue the folded side from below so that the strips branch to the sides.

Be extremely careful when working with glue, especially if you are using a glue stick. The napkin is very delicate and may tear

We go through this on all sides, alternating colors. The top can be slightly torn or the edges trimmed unevenly to imitate the look of a real flame.

We place the resulting torch vertically in the hole on the star. And the eternal flame is ready.

What is the prosecutor's office called?

The Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation is a single centralized system on a federal scale, which, on behalf of the state, oversees both the implementation of the provisions of the Constitution and compliance with all laws adopted on the territory of Russia. The powers and activities of this structure are regulated by the Federal Law “On the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation”. It is independent from the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government and does not belong to any of them.

Since, by law, this infrastructure is state paramilitary, and the activities of its employees are federal civil, military or law enforcement services, then, among other things, this organization involves wearing the shoulder straps of the prosecutor's office.

Sleeve insignia are worn on both long-sleeved and short-sleeved shirts. The same applies to women's uniforms: the sleeve insignia is worn on all blouses.

On white shirts and blouses a patch with a white background is worn, on blue ones - with a blue background.

The distance from the top edge of the patch to the shoulder seam is 8 cm.

Tip: If you sew the chevrons yourself, then first measure the distance from the shoulder (the same 8 cm), approximately position the chevron exactly vertically under the shoulder strap and grab it at the upper corners with thread.

After making sure that the chevron is positioned correctly on the sleeve, carefully sew it on with white thread.

The badge is worn by traffic police officers and employees on external duty. The latter also have a badge on the right pocket.

For more information about which chevron should be sewn onto which item of uniform, see the article about the police uniform. All models of modern uniforms and the location of chevrons on police uniforms are presented there. You can find the specific shape that interests you and see how the chevrons are located on it!

Nuances of fastening for different types of uniforms

All the nuances of how shoulder straps are sewn onto a uniform are considered when a man serves in the army. Even so, many still have questions regarding this process. But first you need to decide where and how to attach the shoulder straps.

On a shirt

The process of attaching shoulder straps to a police officer’s shirt is not at all complicated. And it doesn’t take much time. Indeed, in this case, the shoulder straps are simply fastened with a button, but not sewn on. The same method is suitable for attaching the insignia to the shirts of children studying at the Suvorov School, police school, and so on. For cadets, you can also use pins and matches.

On the jacket

The jacket is part of the uniform not only of the new model of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the police, but also of the military personnel. This wardrobe element can be casual, field or formal. Securing distinctive signs is work that requires attention, effort, and in addition, it takes a lot of time. To sew shoulder straps on a jacket, you must follow the instructions:

  1. Correctly position the attribute: during sewing it should be in one position and not move.
  2. Baste along the edges with several stitches, it is best to add a couple of additional seams in the place where the button is attached.
  3. Pull the lining slightly and stitch the edges of the shoulder strap along the entire perimeter.
  4. The stitching should be strong and inconspicuous. If, being nearby, it is impossible to notice it, then this means that the insignia is correctly sewn to the jacket.

Not everyone knows how shoulder straps are sewn onto a police jacket if one of their sides is rounded. It's difficult, but quite doable. Recommendations on how to sew shoulder straps onto the uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs:

  1. The length of the stitches should be no more than 2 mm.
  2. The thread is brought out pointwise to the surface of the material, and the rest remains inside.

The rounded section on the police jacket is the only difference between the process of sewing on attributes and a similar procedure for military personnel. In general, the entire algorithm is the same.

For a uniform jacket

As for the uniform jacket, the method of attachment depends on the material from which the distinctive attributes are made:

  • if it is soft, the shoulder straps are simply sewn on;
  • if it is hard, they are fixed with a clamp or improvised means.

A person who does not know how shoulder straps are sewn onto a shirt or jacket will find it very difficult to keep his uniform in order. In this case, he can contact a tailoring shop or try to do it himself. True, first you need to understand how to wear insignia correctly, and only then how to attach shoulder straps to your uniform. After all, any uniform, be it a junior sergeant or a junior lieutenant, requires distinctive markings. Attaching them is not an easy task. How to do this is clearly stated in the general military regulations of the Russian Federation. Violation of the requirements specified in it can lead to quite serious consequences.

Cut the lace into two parts, sew it near the button hole. Put on shoulder straps, thread one end of the lace through the hole and the leg of the button. Pull the end of the lace to the inside. Tie it off.

Basic wearing rules

In Russia, employees of the following organizations wear shoulder straps on their uniforms:

Despite the fact that the insignia of the departments of the governing bodies is different, they also have something in common: shoulder straps need to be sewn only on a peacoat, tunic, uniform jacket or coat made of thick cloth.

RF Armed Forces Prosecutor's Office Police EMERCOM Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service State Environmental Inspectorate Maritime Inspectorate Distinctive marks are not sewn on the shirt. This is because the outer uniform can be worn on top.
But in the summer, shoulder straps on a shirt are a mandatory attribute, because when warm days come, coats and jackets are taken off. During this period, temporary stripes are used. They just need to be fastened with a button located on the shirt using a small loop attached to the wrong side of the shoulder strap. Rules for sewing shoulder straps:

The most important thing is that before washing you should always tear off or unfasten the sewn insignia.

Determine the type of shoulder straps and the type of fabric to which the sign needs to be sewn. Position it evenly, press it against the fabric as much as possible. Sew with small stitches, maintaining distances.

Star with patterns

Now a capacious section about the stars.

Let's start with a very beautiful, but rather simple present.

Cut out a part from thick cardboard. Below are two star templates, choose any one.

We make a St. George ribbon from thin strips. But you can replace it with the colors of the Russian flag.

We make a tank using the quilling technique. We roll up three rolls and wrap them with a strip of paper - this is the “caterpillar” of the tank.

We prepare the remaining elements.

We assemble the tank and decorate the star.

You can stick a strip of magnet on the back side if you wish.

As promised, here are two star templates.

You may also need a star using the origami technique in your creativity. And so I’ll give you some step-by-step instructions for folding them.

Option known in the USSR.

A beauty with a through center.

This applique option is also suitable for younger children. It consists of two sheets of paper. A drawing is applied to one of them and cut out along the lines. On the second background. And both sheets are glued together.

You can also decorate the applique with letters and inscriptions.

Making epaulettes (epaulettes)

You can always look beautiful and original without having to spend money on expensive things and unusual jewelry. You can make unusual and original decorations for clothes with your own hands and they will look no worse than store-bought ones. Today, world-famous stars and fashionistas from all over the world use epaulettes in their ingenious outfits. In order to unusually decorate a simple sweater, denim or leather jacket, you can make your own epaulettes. They will be a very original addition to your image.

What we need to make epaulettes:

  • Shoulder pads (shoulder pads).
  • A piece of black satin fabric.
  • Needle with black thread.
  • Thin chains of two colors.
  • Decorative ribbon in dark blue.
  • Metal accessories for jewelry: bead huggers, fasteners for ribbons.
  • Any metal elements for decoration.
  • Scissors.

Let's start making epaulettes. First we need to give the hangers the correct and desired shape. I used scissors to cut the hangers and gave them a rectangular shape. We check that they are the same.

Next, take a piece of black satin fabric and cut two identical pieces so that they are larger than the hanger. We wrap each piece of fabric around the hangers and sew them in the middle. We try to sew tightly, so that the fabric does not unravel, but holds its shape.

Here are two black rectangles ready. Now that the base is ready, it needs to be beautifully decorated.

First, cut two pieces of ribbon. This ribbon can be purchased at a fabric and accessories store. You can take a ribbon of any type and color, as long as you like it. We sew the cut pieces of ribbons with a needle and thread in the middle.

Now we sew one bead hugger on both sides of the ribbons. I thought they looked really good here.

Next, at the front corners of the shoulder strap we attach one fastener for the tapes. They are good because they attach perfectly and tightly thanks to their teeth and have a ring on which you can attach something else. In our case, I put two chains on the rings and an additional metal stick, which also look good.

Now all that remains is to sew the metal elements to the shoulder straps. Mine were square in shape. I first placed them on the shoulder straps, saw how it would look, and then sewed them tightly.

You can sew the finished shoulder straps tightly to a certain item or put them on a pin and then you can remove the shoulder straps and attach them to other outfits.

Making a tank from corrugated cardboard in kindergarten and school

A tank is one of the most common gifts that guys prepare for their dads, grandfathers and friends. Tanks can be of different configurations. This is a great opportunity to learn about the famous T-34 or the powerful Tiger. Moreover, such powerful all-terrain vehicles can be made from paper, socks, toilet paper rolls, and cardboard. It is crafts made from the latter material that we will consider here. Corrugated cardboard is very interesting in creativity.

Almost the entire craft will consist of twisted strips. Since you won’t find them ready-made in stores, you’ll have to work hard to cut them. Let's take blue and green colors for contrast.

A small but powerful tank will be possible even with this number of wheels. Roll four wheels into pucks: two small and two large. We coat them with glue so that in the future they do not press into the side. We also glue them together

Now we need to design the caterpillar track. Also using glue, we go around the wheels with a strip of corrugated cardboard several times.

It turns out like this. Very similar to real tank parts.

Take green cardboard and press the folds with a pen.

Glue the caterpillar tape, stepping back a little from the edges.

If desired, glue on wings with mud flaps and external fuel tanks

We also make the tower out of cardboard. Only here you need to cut the strip so that one side is narrower and the other wider. When rolled into a roll, it will be convex. To make a cannon, we twist the corrugated cardboard not across the accordion, but along it.

There are also such tank configurations

Again, from some material you can not limit yourself to just one type of crafts. Helicopters made of corrugated cardboard can be excellent gifts for February 23

And even a submarine

Look how much you can make from this wonderful material.

Classification by color and decor

Color, material, and the presence of stars served to distinguish regiments and ranks. Fellow officers and soldiers had the same color scheme; it was determined by the number of the regiment in the division. For example, in the infantry troops, the shoulder straps and epaulette field of the first regiment were red, while the second regiment was white. The general's epaulettes did not have encryption.

The design of the fringe in a gold or silver shade depended on what color was chosen for the regiment. Guards insignia had a field of both colors, general ones were completely in gold. Under Nicholas I, stars appeared on the field next to the monogram of the monarch or a code indicating the regiment. They were the same in size, the difference in ranks was indicated by their number.

Now the Russian army does not use epaulettes, and what they are can only be learned from historical films and reference books. In modern fashion, some designers have become interested in this element of military uniform and decorate civilian clothing in military style with it.

Types of epaulettes

Fashionistas often experiment with styles. Epaulettes began to decorate both ceremonial suits and elegant light dresses. Eclecticism does not harm any appearance. Epaulets can be:

With a claim to naturalism, created according to the template of past centuries.

A unisex model that is suitable for both the stronger and weaker sex. They make the image more strict and serious.

Heavy and brutal, which are more suitable for socialites, as well as brave and determined women.

Delicate, graceful, epaulettes for coquette girls and charming fashionistas.

They can not only be part of a costume, but can also be worn separately on women’s shoulders. Such epaulettes look more like jewelry, which is why jewelers have developed their own collection.

They can also be found decorating the collection in the Military style. They add decisiveness to the costume and, as it were, complete the overall picture.

Epaulets can be applied or sewn to the base of the dress. Metal, fabric, beads, leather and even precious metals.

You can also make epaulettes with your own hands; today there are many patterns and master classes on needlework on the Internet. By the way, this decorative detail changes any thing very well. If you're tired of an old dress or jacket, don't hesitate to get rid of them, try sewing them onto epaulettes. This is the right decision that will refresh your things, because they will not go out of fashion any time soon.

Hussar costume

Before you sew epaulettes with your own hands, you need to know what part of the clothing they are sewn onto.

Epaulets for a boy's suit are sewn onto both the dolman and the mentic, depending on whether these two items of clothing are worn or just one.

From the article you will learn how to make epaulettes with your own hands. These are the kind of fringed shoulder straps that are often present in the outfits of hussars and kings. Usually they attract attention with their bright colors, glittering with gold or silver. Next, we will dwell in detail on tailoring and the necessary materials so that your products turn out elegant and spectacular.

Location of shoulder straps on military personnel's jackets

The rules for wearing shoulder straps contain a direct requirement that they be clean, not wrinkled and without foreign inserts. Metal insignia of military personnel should not be deformed, and also not have chipped enamel or abrasions.

How to sew shoulder straps on a jacket: step-by-step instructions

Before you start sewing on shoulder straps, you should make sure that the equipment on the shoulder straps of military personnel has already been done correctly: they are equipped with the required insignia, which are securely fastened. It will be almost impossible to correct a possible defect on a sewn shoulder strap.

Using a ruler, the distance is determined and marked exactly 1 cm above the shoulder seam, which is a line from the collar to the sleeve.

The shoulder strap is applied to the place of its intended location so that its flat side is close to the transverse seam connecting the sleeve to the shoulder of the jacket.

To prevent the shoulder strap from moving during sewing, you should first fix its location on the jacket with several stitches. It is enough to make them at three points: along two edges on the shoulder side and in the center near the collar. It is recommended to make fixing stitches with threads of a contrasting shade to make them easier to remove later.

After securing the shoulder strap, it is finally sewn on: with threads of the same shade, along the perimeter of the shoulder strap. On the upper part of the shoulder strap, the stitch size should be small so that the seam is not noticeable. The optimal option can be considered when, in the process, the outer fabric edge of the shoulder straps, hiding their base, is slightly moved back, and the needle is threaded exactly into the seam holes.

Preparation of insignia

Signs on shoulder straps (stars, sewn or metal squares) must be present. They are intended to indicate military ranks, service status, as well as membership in the type of military force. Insignia are attached in a special way. Before attaching to shoulder straps, you need to make sure that their location is correct. The stars are attached using a variety of devices. To do this, it is enough to measure the required gap, approved by the order, and use a sharp needle mounted on the handle to make a hole where the insignia is inserted (the legs must first be bent). Next, attach the star to the fabric. As for the serviceman’s field uniform, fake attributes come to the rescue, on which stars are sewn on in a factory way. Such products are used in field conditions, because during military exercises real insignia can fly off. Every employee should know how to attach stripes to shoulder straps. The number of sewn or metal squares depends on the rank, and on clothing they are fixed like stars.

What tools will you need?

The work requires endurance, the ability to concentrate and a place with daylight. You also need a set of tools:

A thimble is necessary to protect the finger from a prick, because the material of the military attribute itself is quite dense, and the needle is difficult to push through it. When attaching such a product to outerwear, pliers and tweezers will be excellent helpers. They are necessary to pull the thread with a needle through the resulting hole. You may also need other tools for work (depending on the chosen method): pin, paper clips, match, tape, cutter.

Shoulder strap tattoos: meaning, photo, sketch, prison, in the zone, among prisoners, on the left

Nowadays, most tattoos are done for beauty and rarely carry any meaning. But even now there are prison tattoos, which are mostly done by people close to the criminal world, for example, epaulettes on the shoulders. However, few prisoners can get an epaulette tattoo on their shoulders. In the article we will analyze the detailed meaning of the tattoo that it bears on the zone.

Who can get epaulets tattooed?

Since ancient times, people have decorated their bodies with various tattoos. Patterns on the body could tell a lot about a person: where he comes from, what he does, his social status, etc. In the 20th century, tattoos became the prerogative of prisoners. Using them, prisoners “read” the history of those new to the zone.

The fact is that epaulets are the most controversial tattoo in the world of thieves. Shoulder straps are worn by military and police officers - the main enemies of prisoners. But at the same time, only thieves, whose authority is not subject to the slightest doubt, can get such a tattoo.

The thieves' stars on their shoulder straps can tell you how many walks the prisoner had.

Also, such a tattoo can be made for those who served time in a maximum security colony. Ordinary prisoners are prohibited from getting tattoos of shoulder straps - this can lead to forced correction of the design with homemade machines or even cutting off a piece of skin with the image applied.

Popular articles Jumper with a large collar

Putting an image of shoulder straps on your body is a big responsibility, for which you will have to answer harshly, according to prison laws.

This type of tattoo is rare among juvenile criminals - they lack experience and authority. An exception is made only for those who spent more than 50 days in a punishment cell: in this case, the right to shoulder straps appears.

What does an epaulet tattoo look like?

An epaulet tattoo can look different. The most popular are those that look like hussar epaulettes, or like military or police shoulder straps. They are tattooed more often by men, but in rare cases, this type of tattoo is found on representatives of the fair sex, convicted under serious charges, serving time in maximum security colonies.

The thieves' law clearly regulates what this or that person can inflict on himself.

The shoulder strap tattoo is usually applied to both shoulders. But if the question is about applying it on one side, then the tattoo is done on the left shoulder. Often, an epaulet tattoo on the shoulder consists of empty epaulets, into which additional symbols are subsequently tattooed to indicate something.

It is worth noting that those who wear such insignia on their shoulders will never take the path of correction. These people dedicated their lives to crimes. They do not know any other life, and even when leaving the zone they will continue to lead a criminal lifestyle. They cannot work and earn a living by honest labor - authority will not allow it.

What do the epaulets mean in the zone?

Historically, epaulettes and shoulder straps on the shoulders of convicts were considered a badge of honor. Such tattoos mean that the prisoner has already been to places that are not so remote more than once. Or that the article that got him into the zone is considered elite. As a rule, these are articles for serious crimes - theft, murder, and so on.

The swastika depicted on the epaulette means the denial of God, observance and respect only of prison laws and adherence to fascism.

Pinned suits of playing cards, a wolf or wings mean that this is not the first time the convicted person has gone to jail for theft or theft.

An eagle on shoulder straps indicates that a person denies laws and hates informers. This is a kind of symbol of a free spirit that does not tolerate any restrictions.

Some prisoners decorate their epaulettes with a skull and crossbones, signifying the commission of mass murder.

Those people who commit ideological crimes prefer to have a cross on their shoulder straps. They don't feel remorse or regret what they did.

The inscription ELEPHANT stands for death by a cop by a knife. It is very dangerous to apply such inscriptions. From them, the colony staff can understand that the prisoner is aggressive and take measures to pacify him. Only desperate criminals who are confident in their impunity can add such an abbreviation to their epaulettes.

Shoulder straps pierced with a knife with the inscription BB (internal troops). This type of shoulder straps is awarded to those who openly go against any representative of the state - a guard in a colony, a zone commander, etc.

Wolves, cats, tigers, various predators, barbed wire, and clawed paws are also pricked. All this is a symbol of strength, cunning, wisdom and independence. These elements also serve to intimidate fellow inmates.

Sewing technique

To ensure that the shoulder straps are well fixed and do not move out, before finally sewing the shoulder straps on, they need to be attached to the jacket in several places. It is necessary to sew to the uniform along the entire perimeter of the shoulder strap

Sewing seams have special requirements. It should be strong enough and invisible. To meet these requirements, thick cotton thread with the addition of polyester is suitable. In this case, the presence of synthetics will only improve matters. The thread should match the tone of the shoulder straps themselves.

It is necessary to ensure that the seam cannot be seen at a short distance. When receiving the next military rank, a photograph is taken in uniform.

The last stage of finishing

DIY epaulettes for a hussar are sewn both on a sewing machine and by hand in the absence of one. Fringe is considered an essential element of these products.

Fringe can be purchased at a sewing accessories store, matching it to the color of the edging and buttons. To ensure that the beginning and end clearly coincide on two products, before sewing you must try it on the child’s shoulder and mark the necessary points with a marker or chalk. It is advisable to choose threads of the same shade so that the seams are completely invisible. Any fringe is suitable, from twisted silk ropes or thread tassels, as in the sample above.
