📷 Crafts made of birch bark

Have a nice day! Birch bark is one of the most affordable natural materials from which you can make a lot of useful things... These are the widest possibilities for creating decorative elements, dishes, all kinds of baskets, kitchen utensils and even shoes.

In recent years, I have often seen similar products at fairs. Birch bark is used not only in paintings or panels, it is used to make bread boxes and various tuesochki for bulk products.

Choose for every taste. Masters say that any products are stored longer in birch bark products.

Once upon a time, the ancient Russians found the widest range of applications for birch bark:

• birch bark served as a writing basis;
• it was used to make protective amulets and jewelry;
• fishing gear, boats and even temporary shelters;
• birch bark was used for the manufacture of a wide variety of dishes, in which bulk and liquid products were stored;

And what kind of birch bark souvenirs, caskets or all kinds of toys for kids are made of...

Bark blanks are produced in several ways: layers, cleaves (cylinders) and tapes. Experts say that it is the tapes that are most suitable for mastering the basics of working with birch bark.

And then you will have not only such bread boxes, but also a lot more :-)

In addition, a characteristic feature of birch bark is the presence of suberic acid, which inhibits pathogenic fungi and bacteria. It is thanks to this that products in birch bark containers retain their properties for a long time, for example, milk does not turn sour even in the heat.

I was interested in such light plates and dishes for fruits or sweets.

You can now choose a gift from birch bark quickly and according to your taste. The choice was really huge, as much as the eyes ran in different directions.
