Making a bracelet is a complex and time-consuming process. Therefore, it can be painfully disappointing when it falls apart due to a poorly formed tie. To prevent this from happening, learn how to tie knots like a pro. Conduct training on a regular rope or braid. After 2-4 times, when confidence appears, you can apply the acquired knowledge and skills in practice, that is, on the hand accessory itself.
What knot can you use to tie a bracelet or a knot on it?
Movable and fixed options are used. The first involves changing the circumference of the decoration: if you pull, it will become longer. The second type fixes it tightly; correction of the size of the accessory becomes impossible.
Sliding
Sequencing:
- take a piece of rope;
- string beads and pendants on it (weave a bracelet);
- fold the tip into a loop;
- attach the 2nd part of the lace;
- wrap 1 tip several times around the loop and the second knot;
- insert the free end into the loop from the wrong side and tighten.
Simple
You need to make a loop at one end and thread the second end into it.Then move the knot away from the loop and tie the ends together.
Surgical
Place the edges parallel to each other, fold the bottom one under and make a very wide half-loop on it. Pass the other end through the resulting half-loop, wrap it around and make a second half-loop. Repeat the procedure three times, and then tighten the knot (just pull the ends in different directions) and cut off the excess with scissors.
Important! To prevent the base of the bracelet from unraveling, burn its edges.
Weaving
Necessary materials and tools: waxed cord (2 pcs.), scissors.
How to make a knot:
- lay the cords parallel to each other so that one lace is longer on one side, and the second on the other;
- tie a single knot at the tip of 1 lace (Do not tighten the knot, the lace should be shorter on that side);
- thread a long cord through the knot;
- repeat the procedure with the second lace;
- tighten the knots;
- you will get a vicious circle, the length of which is adjustable.
Chinese
Another option for decoration with non-constant variable length. The knot is knitted as follows:
- bend the rope into a “U” shape;
- make a loose loop (pull 1 end, let it become about 10 cm longer);
- fold the top end of the lace in half (take the outer piece of rope and pull it back along the edge, but do not get close to the middle part of the structure);
- bring the ends together and make a loop (the inner end is brought closer to the outer end, with 3 layers of laces formed at the intersection point; the outer end should be made the longest, this is necessary to form a node; the outer end from below is threaded through the entire layer and brought up, perpendicular to the entire structure);
- make a few more - 3-4 - loops;
- pass the tip from which the vertical loops were formed into the horizontal loop (the same one that was formed by bending the middle part of the rope);
- tighten it tight (if the knot turns out to be weak, then you just need to increase the number of vertical loops).
Important! Be sure to check the strength of the structure before wearing the bracelet.
Sometimes you need to tie the elastic band on the bracelet so tightly that it will no longer come undone. Just use one of the nodes above.
