How to weave rope bracelets with your own hands: instructions
There are many options for weaving a rope bracelet. Today we’ll look at some of the most interesting ones:
- Double-row lacing. To make it you will need 1 lace, as if from a shoe, and a thick colored thread, a button and glue. Start by securing the main rough lace. Fold it in half to form a loop. You can wind a colored cord on two opposite thick threads. It is important to know that lacing is not simple, but special. First you need to form a cross from a colored cord, and then throw the ends of the thread through it. This manipulation should be continued until the end of the length of the element required for the bracelet being made. Finally, complete the weaving with a button. Sew the ends of the rope.
- Bracelet with beads. This product looks beautiful and delicate. It will be a great addition to a woman's hand. To make it you will need small beads, a thin thread matching the color of the beads and a cord. String all the beads on a thin thread similar to their color. After that, start threading the colored lace between them, making 2 knots between each bead. When finished, secure the threads with a decorative knot and clasp.
- Spiked braid. The bracelet looks original and bold. It is easy to make. To work on it you will need a multi-colored lace of medium thickness, a glue gun, and spikes. Take 3 laces and tie them into a pigtail. After that, start gluing the spikes in certain places. After fixing, hold them for a while with your finger so that they are firmly fixed.
The result is a beautiful accessory that will be a good addition to a stylish youth look!
