Bracelets - an interesting and original jewelry for female hands at any age. Hand-made items (handmade) are especially expensive and interesting. For them fit different natural and artificial materials. They are not limited in size and color characteristics.
Passion for girls weaving bracelets is understandable. Such gifts to close people and friends are a true recognition and positive emotions.
In the trading network you can find whole sets for such skill: gum and slingshot, beads and beads, pieces of leather and fur. And for all this - their workshops on the Internet.
Slingshot weaving
We will prepare a set of rubber bands (the variety of the received product will depend on their number and brightness of the flowers) and the slingshot. You will need a hook (in order not to hook the rubber bands with your fingers) and a clasp.
Take the slingshot in your left hand, turn it with a notch to yourself and put on the first gum with the "eight".
Two subsequent gum worn on both horns, not twisting.
We take the hook, grab the lower gum from the side (it looks like a loop) and remove it from one side. We transfer to the inner center of the slingshot.
Similarly, we act with a loop on the other side.
We put on the next gum. With the edges of the lower gum doing the same steps as the previous one.
Subsequent gum is also worn on both horns, crocheting alternately lower loops, transfer them to the center of the slingshot. It turns out that such a chain. Somehow she looks like a fish's tail. Therefore, there is a popular name for such weaving - "fishtail".
Bracelet weave is easy, but it looks original.
Gum soft, strong finger tension is required. The movements are pretty monotonous and understandable. Even a child can cope with them, of course, if they try.
We continue to weave to the desired length of the bracelet (or until such time as the selected gum runs out).
The final stage is:
Transferring all but one of the gum in the middle, we connect the last loops on one of the horns and put a hook under them.
Remove the slingshot - it is no longer needed.
With another edge formed, we act in the same way. We put on both loops on the second edge of the hook.
Beautiful summer decoration is ready. By the way, it is not afraid of water.
With it you can safely swim, sunbathe or decorate your handbag or cosmetic bag.
How to weave a bracelet of rubber bands on the machine
Schematically, the process of such weaving can be represented as follows:
Machines are sold complete with rubber bands or separately, there are various sizes and sizes.
The phased process is as follows:
Prepare the necessary set of tools (can be assembled separately or buy a set)
The beginning of weaving - putting on gum between the supports of adjacent rows.
When working with the correct setting of the machine, the red arrow should be directed “away from you”.
- The first elastic is put on the lower middle and left support, the next - on the lower left and second middle. In this case, the test can be considered an option if the second gum is located above the first.
- The third gum should take a position on the second middle and second left support.
- The elements put on further should be higher than previous ones.
- Thus we fill the machine to the end. Visually, it looks like a zigzag.
Second phase:
- Turn the machine to the other side. Now the arrow looks at the master.
- We hook a gum between the first middle and second right support and put it on the second right (it has the right edge already on it).
- Now we hook the gum, located on the second right and middle supports. We pull it up, remove it from the right support and put it on the second middle one (along with its left edge).
- By analogy we weave further. According to the drawing scheme, the process looks clearer.
We proceed to the third stage - the end of weaving.
We remove the last link of the bracelet and put a fastener on it.
The work is done.
Beaded bracelets - fun and sparkling scattering
Collecting a bead bracelet for yourself or your girlfriend is the easiest way to add a new touch to your image and to raise your mood. This is where your fantasy can roam.
Acceptable any beads, including various in texture, size, color. Today, the usual stringing options for their gum can be diluted with original charms, pendants, chains and other accessories.
You will need beads, rubber bands, connecting elements (if necessary). Depending on the width of the hole in the beads, it is better to use a double elastic band - it is more practical.
Beads can be made of natural stones (turquoise, pearl, opal, chrysolite, etc.). Then this bracelet can have an impact on the health or energy protection of its owner.
The version with talismans is filled with a special meaning and is able to accumulate negative energy in itself. Therefore, the bracelet must be washed with water. Consider this when choosing consumables.
Pearls - Unmatched Excellence
Consider the process of making a bracelet made from pearls - unique in its origin and properties of the mineral.
Natural pearls (not important, river or sea origin) is known for its healing, magical and protective properties.
So, take the line. Cut the desired length (taking into account the need for free ends for binding). We string pearl beads on it.
If desired, you can use connecting circles, special pins and pins, lock-clasp.
If the use of a fastener is undesirable, and the length of the manufactured product allows you to put it on your hand freely (the gum in this is the assistant), you can use the tying method.
- To do this, we bind the free edges in several grips. As tight as possible tighten.
- This is the first row of attachment. For strength, we create the second row. The ends are exactly the same intertwined several times and tighten.
- Two nodular lines are located almost one above the other.
- You can insure the third row, but you can stop at this.
- We cut the ends and select the option how to hide them.
To do this, today in special stores there are so-called cases for knots. They look like this.
Put on easy and practical.
The bracelet is ready. In addition to it, you can make a necklace or just a long string of pearls on the neck.
Some tips from experienced craftsmen
Variants of hand-made bracelets are so diverse and versatile that they can be used to create almost any image: from comic-playful children's jewelry to serious accessories of a business woman.
And here it is worth observing a sense of proportion. After all, an elementary sense of taste must always be present, but the principle "the more the better the better" is not always appropriate.
Therefore, before proceeding to the production of the next "masterpiece", think: how the selected components are combined? What is the best way to connect them? What length do? How to diversify the fastener?
Competently picked up the whole set, model it on paper. And only if you like it, take up the job. Do not be afraid to experiment. After all, the advantage of homemade bracelets is the ability to remake them in order to achieve the goal.
