Today's fashion has brought back the time when woven bracelets were fashionable. Such gizmos have become trendy today, with minor changes and updates in appearance and new techniques.
The beauty of such a bracelet also lies in the fact that it is quite easy to make it with your own hands, without any special material costs. And this allows you to have several of them, combine them with each other or wear them separately, choosing them for a certain outfit or occasion.
How to weave a bracelet for beginners
In order to get started, you should acquire the necessary materials at hand:
- Threads;
- Cardboard;
- Scissors, ruler, compass (can be replaced with something that has a round base);
- Something in the form of a music stand, in order to attach the product.
What threads to take
The most important thing at the preparatory stage is to choose high-quality material, that is, threads for making the product. The appearance of the finished bracelet depends on what they are made of, how high quality they are, and how well they are painted.
In addition, when weaving baubles, several colors are used, which form a specific pattern. It is important to choose those that combine as harmoniously as possible with each other.
If we talk about the material for the bracelet, then high-quality floss threads are best suited. They have a smooth structure, as they are made of mercerized cotton woven into a uniform thread.
In addition, floss has a simply huge color palette, which allows you to create a simply limitless number of patterns.
ATTENTION. For beginners who are not confident in their abilities, you can use thicker threads or a rope rather than floss. You can choose “Iris” threads; they have a hard texture and ribbed surface, which will give the finished product a good appearance.
Simple thread bracelet for beginners
The easiest way to create a bracelet in stages, which is suitable for beginners, is a simple braid made of several threads for knitting in different colors. The braid itself should be thick enough. Therefore, you need to take several threads of floss (at least 10) of each color. Tie one end into a knot. Attach it to a hard, stationary surface with any clamp and braid it. Naturally, the weaving should not be too loose, otherwise the product will not hold its shape and will always fall apart. But too tight weaving will have a negative impact on the appearance - the braid will twist.
After the braid is woven to the desired length, secure the edges. Cut off unnecessary edges, first tying knots.
Take the base for the bracelet. For it, you can choose a metal headband, on one side of which there is a slot for putting on your hand. Apply hot glue to the outer surface and place the braid on it.
Friendship bracelet - instructions, diagrams
The friendship bracelet is woven from two colors of thread. You need to attach the ends to the tablet, holding it with some kind of clamp. Then gradually weave the pattern in knots.
IMPORTANT. For those who are just starting to weave, it is better to take 2 colors of thread, fold them in half and attach them to the board.
For convenience, it is better to number the threads.
Take threads symmetrically 1234-4321.
Next, thread 1 is placed on top of thread 2. Grab thread 2 and tighten the knot. The right thread should be well stretched, while the left one forms a knot. Repeat the knot. Then continue in the same sequence, only moving the threads towards the middle.
Once the middle of the product is reached, you need to stop and start weaving on the right.
Repeat everything in the same order, only in the opposite direction.
With this weaving, a pattern of two colors is obtained, which forms the corners.
There are many options for patterns. Each has its own scheme.
To complete the pattern, after the product has reached the desired length, you need to divide the threads into two parts. Weave each braid separately, 4-5 cm long, and tie a knot at the end.
Thus, the beginning loop and the end braids form a kind of bracelet clasp.
For those who are interested in these weaving patterns, you can use a lot of variants of patterns that allow you to create completely different bracelets
