Needlewomen and crafters have long understood that a hobby must be present. Why can’t your favorite activity be “bead weaving?” Not only beautiful keychains and hairpins can be made using beads. You just have to remember all those baubles that beads create and you will immediately want to do something with your own hands. The article contains three techniques for weaving bracelets using beads.
The secret of weaving the most complex bracelet is revealed in this article. Therefore, more beautiful beads and more free time for what you love, and you can start working. To weave bracelets from beads, the master uses beads directly, which can be diluted with beads and beaded thread (it can be easily replaced with fishing line or thin wire).
Bead bracelet patterns for beginners
Beginners are better off using simpler schemes first. Train your hands and slightly develop fine motor skills. More complex schemes are best left for later.Moreover, if you immediately pick up something difficult and cannot cope with it in the future, then this may simply discourage you from engaging in such a craft. Below are three simple diagrams for a beginner.
- The simplest and for some the very first bracelet model. Looks very fragile and quite attractive. And also in this model you can always play with color. To weave using this method, it is proposed to first collect the required number of beads and one end of the thread (fishing line) will be involved in the work. Later you will need to put one bead on the working end and thread the thread through the beads of the chain, missing one bead.
- The model is more complicated and will require the skill of attaching a lock. First, connect the thread to the lock, then the bead starts working, and after that, just turn on another thread and you should get 3 ends in the work. Place beads of the required length on each thread and simply weave a braid from three ends.
- A good combination between beads and beads gives birth to beautiful baubles.
Master class – How to weave a bracelet from beads
Three bracelets at once and detailed descriptions for them will help even a beginner make something worthwhile. The most popular and complex techniques are now revealing their secrets. Each product has its own diagram and excellent tips from a real master that will help you do the job faster and not get confused halfway.
Mosaic weaving
Beautiful and very dense products are obtained using such a beautiful technique. It's actually not that difficult. But it is very labor-intensive and requires constant concentration.
Important! Any work that requires a lot of concentration is beneficial, especially for those who are sick with something.A person is distracted from sad thoughts, and fine-motor skills and long-term memory also develop greatly.
For work use:
- fishing line for beads;
- beads of several colors.
Stage: measurements
Measure the circumference of your wrist and add half a cm so that you can put the product on without squeezing the blood vessels on your wrist. And also decide on the width; perhaps for some model the width of one pattern repeat will not be enough.
Stage: sample
It is better to weave a small sample in advance and calculate how many rows and beads are required along the length (this will be equal to the circumference).
Stage: technique
Mosaic weaving is very reminiscent of the crosses that a master begins to make at the training stage. There will only be more rows. Gradual addition creates the required width.
Important! In order to get even edges of the bracelet, you need to use half of it, not a full cross, along the edge.
For greater popularity, you can use gold or bronze for edging together with bright colors. Follow the color according to the pattern and weave the product in the transverse direction. These models can be worn well without a fastener, as the fabric will stretch well.
Upon completion of weaving, make sure that the patterns are easily combined and there is no visible transition either in color or technique. After weaving, thread the thread several times through adjacent loops, tie a couple of inconspicuous knots and fuse it to the inside using a lighter.
Important! When working with fire, have water on hand.
Now the decoration is ready. It will definitely be unique and unusual, passers-by will appreciate the taste and talent of the master.
Bracelets
Charming and cute jewelry. They look very unusual and, what is most interesting, they consist entirely of beads.Simple plain ones have ceased to impress, but the use of very unusual prints or just a design is a luxury. Only the whole difficulty after mastering the pattern is no longer in weaving, but in changing the pattern. It will be arranged in a spiral and can easily get lost. Excellent applications and special programs help you quickly draw a suitable diagram and make the right sets. The “sakura” model is made according to one of these schemes.
For work use:
- multi-colored beads;
- fishing line
Stage: measurements
Determine the circumference of the wrist. Next, measure the length of the fastener and subtract it from the original measurement.
Important! The width of the harness can also be adjusted, but only after the initial model has been mastered.
Stage: sample
Make a short piece from the diagram above and try to calculate how many rows are included in 1 cm of work. Next, you can estimate how many rows are required for the whole product and evaluate how correctly the pattern will fit in the interval. If necessary, add a couple of rows so as not to tear off the print in the wrong place.
Stage: technique
It is more convenient to make tourniquets around a rod or another stick. In principle, it will be difficult to start, be sure to follow the pattern and numbers of the beads. Next it will be easier, skip one from the previous row and immediately string one. All work proceeds in a spiral. It is very important to finish the work both according to the size of the circumference for the wrist and according to the pattern. If something doesn’t work out, it’s better to make a small increase.
Next, fasten the fasteners at the ends and you can try on the fashionable jewelry.
Brick weaving
At first glance, brick weaving and mosaic weaving are very similar. But the master knows the difference between such techniques.With brick weaving, all the work is assembled one by one bead, like a wall brick by brick. But that’s also what the whole canvas looks like afterwards. Each subsequent row will be slightly offset. There will be a shift in the mosaic technique, but the set here is completely different. Another difference will be that the brick weaving is obtained with a slight bevel. The edge will be noticeably different. The work itself will be stronger, since when weaving the line has to pass through the same beads several times.
For work use:
- beads according to the colors of the scheme;
- fishing line;
- decorative clasp.
Stage: measurements
Measure the circumference of your wrist and immediately subtract the length of the clasp from this measurement. You can add an additional 0.5 cm so that the bracelet does not turn out to be too tight on your hand.
Stage: sample
Make one flower according to the given diagram and calculate its length. Next, use your measurements to calculate how many flowers are needed for the whole decoration.
Stage: technique
The work begins with an even set. Next, there is a gradual weaving of one bead at a time.
Important! With this technique, it is better to thread the fishing line through the beads. But it’s not always possible to do this, since you won’t be able to thread one through it many times. Therefore, craftsmen often use stretching between beads. This does not change the weaving. The work also remains durable and beautiful.
Watch the color of the beads change and continue weaving. You can make the edges of the flowers separately, after weaving an even strip using a similar technique. For someone who confidently uses this technique, it will not be difficult to immediately make the appropriate additions and not have to go back a second time to add fabric along the edges.
Stage: clasp
Install the clasp elements and you can try on this charm.For flowers, it is advisable to use a plain border and bright petals.
Such beautiful works can be made from simple things. Only time and hard work can produce such original and dear things. And a good description and diagrams help a beginner not to make mistakes when creating a product. More beautiful works to all masters.
