Weaving from elastic bands is an exciting activity not only for children, but also for adults. Joint creativity with the child allows you to develop imaginative thinking and get the most of positive emotions from the process. A snowflake made of rubber bands can be both a toy and an original decoration.
It is necessary
- - 1 hook with metal base;
- - 6 smaller plastic auxiliary hooks;
- - 42 blue elastic bands;
- - 37 turquoise elastic bands.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the tools in advance, since it will be convenient for you to quickly weave elastic bands of different colors in the process. Take a steel hook and pull one blue elastic over it. Wrap around the base three times.
Step 2
As a result, you have a triple loop.
Step 3
Next, take two more blue elastic bands and pull them over the hook in this way.
Step 4
After that, lower the turns that you originally put on the hook.
Step 5
Place the remaining loops over your fingers and return to the hook. You will have the upper part of the beam.
Step 6
In the same way, weave two more rays on a steel hook. As a result, you will form three identical branches at the end of the snowflake ray.
Step 7
Then take two turquoise elastic bands and pull them over the same hook. Throw off all the parts of the ray on the turquoise elastic bands.
Step 8
Next, put the elastic from your finger on the hook.
Step 9
Do this two more times and you will have the first ray of the snowflake. Remove this beam on the auxiliary plastic hook.
Step 10
Using the same principle, weave the remaining 5 rays, each of which must be removed with additional hooks. As a result, you will get 6 separate rays that need to be connected.
Step 11
The resulting rays are carefully removed on one hook with a steel base. At the same time, firmly hold the elastic bands with your finger to fix it.
Step 12
Then take one turquoise elastic and pull it over the hook. Then take off the rays from the hook one by one and return the elastic from the finger back.
Step 13
Spread out the resulting snowflake. Remove the back of the elastic from the hook. The front should remain at the base of the hook.
Step 14
While holding the snowflake with one hand, pull the hook to the side. This will create a strong knot.
