Instructions
Step 1
Use the internet to choose the right weaving pattern. Start learning with simple products. These can be single-row chains, solid wide or narrow bracelets. With increasing experience in work, you will be able to expand your skills and make beautiful decorations with the addition of various elements, for example, beads, seashells, etc.
Step 2
Choose multi-colored patterns so you can trace the direction of each thread as you weave. For example, a piece of a certain size and color (bead, bugle, bead) is marked in a special way: a cross, an asterisk, a snowflake, etc. If you weave a bauble using precise recommendations, you will get a beautiful model with voluminous details. In monochrome schemes, colors are marked with similar symbols, and dimensions are defined in the same way as in color schemes. For weaving on them, you must be especially careful so as not to confuse anything.
Step 3
Having chosen a scheme, consider the drawing, you can redraw it on paper or print it. The direction of each weave is indicated by arrows. The steps are arranged in order to the right or bottom of the previous one. If in the diagram the arrows point in two opposite directions, then the bauble is woven into two needles, each of which is at the opposite end of the thread. To start working on such a product, first dial the required number of beads of different colors in the middle of the thread, and then connect the extreme one and go to the next weaving step.
Step 4
Prepare weaving materials. With the help of eight multi-colored floss threads, scissors and a pin, you will weave a simple bauble. Measure the circumference of the wrist, which will be wearing a beautiful, unique bracelet, and multiply the length by four - this is the length of the threads you need for work. Usually, it is enough to take threads a little more than a meter long.
Step 5
Take the threads, carefully measure the length you need, cut and tie into a knot. Pin it to any stable base with a pin. It is also convenient to use a tablet or clip for this purpose. Distribute the bundle of threads so that the colors that will alternate in the pattern of the finished baubles follow one after the other. With the thread on the far left, tie the next thread with a strong double knot.
Step 6
Tie all existing threads in double knots until the last thread crosses to the opposite end. The next thread of a different color will appear on the left. Repeat the steps described above - with a new extreme thread, tie all the other threads of the row one by one, and when it reaches the right edge, go to the left edge again. As the size of the future product increases, you will notice a pattern of colored diagonal lines that appears, continue weaving, and when finished, tie the ends of the threads into a knot. Subsequently, you will attach a clasp or some original button to it.
Step 7
For a more intricate bracelet, use a 12-strand bevel weave. Take threads of floss of different colors, cut the desired length and arrange them in two rows, you should get 6 threads of the same colors. Take two threads of an identical shade, place them in the middle, on the side of them, distribute the threads of a floss of a different, identical color, repeat the order of combining colors. Tie a knot and continue braiding. You will get a very beautiful weaving of mirror colors of threads. It is important here to arrange the threads in pairs in a mirror image and pay attention to the knots, because they must be the same.
Step 8
Fasten 10 threads of different colors on the tablet, separate the two outermost side threads, fasten with pins. Weave the middle threads of the floss in the form of a braid, gradually adding the side threads, you will get an original pattern. If you want to make or use additional blotches, use beads or beads.
Step 9
Take threads of floss in 10 different colors, cut them in half, you will get 5 rows in pairs. Secure them with a clip, so it is more convenient to work. From each side, take the threads and weave them into a single braid, gradually add the side threads, you will get a single braid with weaving in several rows. First take paired strands on the sides, later add strands that are adjacent to them, etc. If you want some creativity, add beads or shells with drilled holes.
Step 10
Connect several threads of floss together, twist a tourniquet from them, repeat this scheme several times. As a result, you will have harnesses for work. Attach them to a tablet or other stable object, tie medium threads in pairs, gradually add the bundles that you prepared the day before. If you use monochromatic floss threads, you do not need to sort the bundles, but directly weave the pattern in the form of braids.
