History of
For the first time, art of dumbbells appeared in South America, in Brazil, where the roots of aquatic plants were wound on sticks while they were raw, and dried in the sun. Until now it has come through the nuns of the Maltese monasteries, which adorn churches with flowers in this technique, statuettes of saints, Christmas nurseries and Easter baskets. The altar located in the residence of the Pope is also decorated with such flowers. That's why the Hanutel is called Maltese needlework.
The word itself, apparently, goes back to the Italian "sanutiglia", meaning "fine twisted thread".From it, and the Russian "gimp" - a thin silver or gold thread for embroidery.
Most recently, the government of Malta decided to revive and popularize the art of dumbbells: special needlework courses were opened, led by the most authoritative teachers of the whole island.
This technique has spread all over the world, reaching Russia. Craftsmen with her help create beautiful wedding decorations, hairpins, brooches, earrings, wreaths and tiaras, various decorative flowers, from roses to forget-me-nots.
Materials and technology
The materials in the technique of Ganutel are silk threads, thin, spirally wound wire, beads and beads. The consumption of materials is very economical, the share of their value in the final price of the product is only a few percent, the main part is the author's time.
The technique of work is simple, even a child will master it, although, like in any other needlework, diligence, patience and accuracy will be required.
There are two types of weaving. The first is simpler and therefore more common. This winding on a spiral twisted wire of silk threads. This kind of vanity is similar to isonics.

1. Cut off 30-50 cm of wire. We wind it on the hook, making 30 turns.
2. We compress the resulting spring.
3. We make several blanks.
4. We take one and stretch in different directions to the required length. The distance between the turns must correspond to the thickness of the threads. Repeat for the remaining blanks.
5. Each spiral bend in the form of a droplet, unwanted "tails" swine.
6. The tip of the thread is tied to the base of the spiral.
7. We lead the thread to the opposite edge, loop around and drive back.
8. Adhering to this scheme, we braid the wire, each time making a shift to the side.
9. We also manufacture other flower petals.
