Thread baubles, as a rule, are woven in one layer, which creates a two-dimensional effect - a flat bracelet wraps around the wrist. To create voluminous baubles, a material such as beads is more suitable, and, depending on the design, one or more sizes can be used.
It is necessary
- Beads of different colors and sizes;
- Lavsan thread to match the beads;
- Rubber thread;
- Beaded needles.
Instructions
Step 1
Without preliminary creation of the scheme, you can weave a voluminous bauble using the plait technique, for example, a square one. To do this, weave a chain along the length of the wrist using the "cross" technique. If you don't have experience, use only one bead color and one size. On the last row, turn the needles to the side and braid the second row. Then also the third.
Step 2
Weave the last, fourth row, connecting the beads of the outer rows. Then pass the needle along the edges of the bundle, picking up one bead at a time. You will have a tourniquet with four faces and a square in cross section. Attach a clasp to the ends and hide the ends of the threads.
The scheme is described in more detail on the websit
Step 3
Another option is a plait using the mosaic technique (transverse weaving). In this technique, when using beads of different sizes and colors, you can achieve an interesting effect - the bracelet will twist into a spiral. Works in this technique are presented on the forum of the site "Salon of beads".
The bracelet in this technique turns out to be thick. When the fastener is used, the tear point is very prominent and spoils the appearance of the product. Therefore, use a rubber thread as a base. At the same time, replace small beads with beads of medium and large sizes, with sufficiently large holes (in beads they are too small, and it is necessary to pass through each one at least twice). Weave the ends of the barslet together to make the spiral endless. Hide the ends of the rubber in the beads.
Step 4
The use of beads of different sizes is also permissible in the "brick" technique or weaving with beads. In this case, the bracelet turns out to be wider, and its width changes depending on the size of the material. In addition, in these techniques, you can weave a short inscription (name or nickname). Weaving a long statement is not recommended, as the bracelet will be too long.
Step 5
Another option for a voluminous bauble is based on combining one of the above options with beaded floristry. For example, weave the base using the mosaic technique from beads of the same size (better and of the same color) and several colors according to the scheme indicated on the site https://www.vsehobby.ru/. Attach flowers and a clasp, hide the ends of the threads
When weaving a wide bracelet, do not use the clasp. Choose an elastic material such as an elastic band like a mosaic bracelet and join the edges.
