Step 1
Probably no one knows for sure the history of the occurrence of baubles. Although connoisseurs and researchers of fashion have an assumption that baubles were known long before the birth of Christ and were especially popular among the American Indians. The progenitors of modern baubles were something between insignia and some kind of amulets from evil spirits. Later, the tradition of wearing some kind of bracelets appeared and took root among hippies and Buddhists, who borrowed them from the American Indians. The fact is that these subcultures highly value the gifts of nature and things made with their own hands. Therefore, the best gift for them is a handmade gift. And the baubles here turned out to be very useful. They even began to be considered a kind of symbol of friendship, they were tied as a sign of a truce or if a new member was accepted into the group. In the United States of America, baubles are a symbol of friendship, they are given by people of different classes, gender and social status for baubles also do not play any role.
Step 2
Fenichka is a word that informals use in their slang. It is assumed to be derived from the English thing, meaning "thing or thing."
Step 3
Today baubles are worn not only by informals. They are also presented as a souvenir mile gift, as a sign of love and friendship. Also, this accessory can well complement the image of young fashionistas.
Step 4
The remarkable thing about baubles is that you can make them yourself. The manufacturing technology of such bracelets can be very different. The same applies to the use of materials when creating baubles.
Step 5
Baubles are sewn from fabric, leather or leatherette, weave from laces, threads for knitting and embroidery, ribbons, beads and even beads and buttons. They can be the simplest in terms of manufacturing technique and quite complex, when the bracelet contains letters, words, and certain symbols.
Step 6
The easiest way to weave baubles is from a lace. When making it, you can show your imagination and thereby replenish your collection with a new and interesting piece of jewelry.
Step 7
Before starting work, determine what kind of bracelet you want to make yourself. After all, even with an ordinary lace, you can experiment well.
Step 8
For example, take two laces of contrasting color. Twist them tightly together, secure the ends of the bracelet. If you wish, you can put the ends of the laces on the baubles, which will act as a tie. Or attach a small clasp (carabiner) to the ends. You can also remove the clasp from a loose or worn chain and attach it to your bracelet.
Step 9
For baubles, you can use not only two laces, but more. It all depends on your desire and on what kind of laces you use in your work: thin or thick, round or flat. The laces can be simply twisted and decorated with large beads or beautiful buttons and other finishing elements.
Step 10
Take three laces of the same color (or different), fold them together, step back a little from the edges and tie them into a knot. Now weave a pigtail from the laces. When you braid the bracelet to the desired length (it should wrap around your wrist one or more times), secure the ends into a knot.
Step 11
Similarly, you can weave baubles from ribbons of different widths. Weaving technology is the same as when weaving a bracelet from laces: twisting or weaving a braid.
Step 12
The bracelet made in the form of a "spikelet" will also look interesting. For it, you will need four laces, which you need to weave one by one, imitating the pattern of a spikelet. For the convenience of weaving, secure the beginning of the bracelet with a safety pin and pin the future product to the fabric, upholstery of the chair, so that it is more convenient for you to work.
Step 13
You can also combine laces with ribbons and leather stripes. And if, in addition, you add large beads of matching color, you will get an original product.
Step 14
Despite the variety of baubles, bracelets woven from beads have been favorite and popular for many years. In this case, the beads are strung in a certain order using one of the weaving patterns. Use fishing line, thin wire, or strong elastic thread as the basis for weaving.
Step 15
Finding schemes for baubles is not difficult. There are a lot of them on the Internet. The main thing is to correctly formulate the query in the search line.
Step 16
Even if you are new to beading, after considering the scheme, do not be alarmed. There is nothing complicated in the scheme. Usually it depicts how and in what sequence the weaving should be performed, how the beads pass, into which bead the fishing line should be threaded at each step. For convenience, in most diagrams, arrows represent the direction of weaving.
