Many people know and love luxurious beaded jewelry; they amaze with their bright colors and shapes. But few people have heard of a stylish beaded jewelry called “lariat”.
What is a bead lariat?
Lariat is a woven transformable rope made of beads with beautiful clasps or tassels at the ends. It can be worn in different ways.
This original decoration is often worn around the neck. It will effectively decorate not only everyday clothes, but also an evening suit.
Lariat is a universal decoration, loved by many women, which can be worn every day in a variety of forms.
How to wear a beaded lariat?
You can have one single piece of jewelry, but change your wearing methods every day:
- necklace;
- short necklace;
- bracelet;
- sotoir;
- belt.
Reference! Sautoir - This is a beautiful decoration on a long chain (cord) with decor or a tassel.
Let's figure out how to tie a lariat to look irresistible and present a new image every time.
Necklace – the simplest option for wearing around the neck. We wrap the decoration around the neck twice, and fasten the third turn on the side, the decorations at the ends of the lariat will hang beautifully on the chest.
Simple knot. Place the tourniquet around the neck and tie it with a regular knot, leaving the ends 7-10 cm long hanging.
There are other lightweight harness knots.
Necklace pendant. Fold the tourniquet in half and thread the loose ends of the decoration through the neck into a loop.
More complex knots.
Twisted necklace. We place it loosely on the front of the chest, bringing the ends behind the neck. We wrap each end around the middle part lying on the chest, towards the center, leaving the ends of the tourniquet with tassels hanging beautifully.
You can create a more complex version.
With additional tassel earrings. If the braid has beautiful tassels at the ends, and in addition to it there are earrings in the shape of the same tassels, the designers offer an original solution.
First, we draw a tourniquet folded in half around the neck, leaving a fold in front. On the second turn, we lower the remaining two ends of the decoration into the loop. We hang the tassel earrings on the side using double strands. It looks very impressive.
Using macrame knots
With Josephine knot. An extraordinary option is to tie a spectacular Josephine knot.
It is better to place it near the clasp. Here is a pattern for knitting a knot.
Other knots can also be made following the diagram.
Pigtail. We fold the transforming tourniquet in three and weave a braid of three “strands”. Let's focus on the diagram. We only have one end, so we must not forget to free it when weaving by removing it from the loop.
We try it on so that the braid covers about half of the product. We bend it slightly in a semicircle, and at the end we thread the free end of the tourniquet into the formed loop.If you have brushes it looks very nice.
Tue oroi riant. You can also braid the braid completely up to the clasps. It will also turn out original. The braid can be loosely tied or tightly - this way we get different versions of the necklace.
We carry out the third version of the nodes strictly according to the scheme.
Other node options.
Original bracelets
Bracelet. We wrap the lariat several times around the wrist, and fasten it over several layers of the tourniquet.
Braid bracelet. The lariat is folded in three and braided as described earlier.
Useful tips
Those who want to keep the lariat for a long time should Follow the recommendations of experts:
- If you wear a transformable tourniquet often and in different forms, then when you remove it, be sure to straighten or untie all the knots. The decoration may remember its shape and will take time to straighten.
- It is better to store the Lariat either rolled up or flattened.
- When you put the ends into the loop, do it carefully; you can pull it by the knitted part, and not by the tassels or lock. This will help prevent brushes from breaking off.
- The lock also perfectly decorates the product, therefore, when choosing a tying option, make sure that it is always in sight.
Advice! It is not always possible to immediately obtain smooth and beautiful knots or braids; training is required.
Such simple techniques will help you use the lariat in a new way every day and always be elegant and bright.
