Bright thread bracelets are popularly called baubles. This inexpensive, but skillfully hand-woven piece of jewelry is especially popular among children and young people. Even a child can learn to weave baubles - fortunately, today there are many instructions and descriptions of simple and complex models and patterns. First you need to master weaving from two threads - working and axial, as well as special knots.
It is necessary
- - floss threads;
- - scissors;
- - pin;
- - pillow.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a simple piece of jewelry and a not too intricate pattern for braiding baubles. After you learn the basic techniques of work, you can proceed to more intricate schemes. For training, you will need two skeins of floss of different colors. Their length should be about 1 m, i.e. several times more than the future decoration.
Step 2
Take the axial thread (No. 1) - on it you will make knots from the working thread (it can be conventionally called No. 2). Align both threads and tie into a knot at a distance of 7-10 cm from their ends (this is the future tie of the bracelet).
Step 3
Pierce the knot with a pin and secure it to the pillow. Separate threads # 1 and # 2.
Step 4
Pull the axial thread with your left hand, and grab the working thread with your right hand and wrap it around the “axis”, making a movement from left to right.
Step 5
Pull the tip of thread # 2 out of the loop, then carefully slide the finished right loop knot up.
Step 6
Make the second knot in the same way, pushing it close to the previous one. Tighten it not too tight. Before you is a double knot. Now threads # 1 and # 2 have changed their places and functions.
Step 7
Sew the left buttonhole knot in the same way, but in a mirror image. Making a double knot with a working thread, move from right to left.
Step 8
Master the right and left turns. For the right one: on the axial thread it is necessary to make the right loop knot with the working thread, after which the left one. For the left: the working thread sews the left buttonhole, followed by the right one.
Step 9
When the string bracelet of the required length is ready, tie its “ponytails” with a knot and trim the tie with scissors.
