Jewelry for men is a very delicate topic. They are not as diverse as women's, but at the same time, every man wants to express his individuality and style in accessories. How do you combine a small amount of artistic media with a strong desire to stand out from the crowd? A few tips on the example of men's bracelets.
Instructions
Step 1
Ask the man what exactly he wants: how wide the bracelet, what color, with what pattern. If he cannot answer a direct question, offer him several universal drawings: a yin-yang sign, a zodiac sign, a solar or lunar symbol, tiger stripes, plant motifs.
In particular, take an example from mythology or rock art: the Tomsk Ugrians used a petroglyph signifying a male warrior. What man would refuse to wear a symbol of his own masculinity on his hand?
Step 2
A situation is acceptable when a man responds to any proposal with an evasive “I don’t know”. In this case, the choice of colors, patterns and shapes is yours. There are several general rules.
Use muted colors: blue, black, brown, dark green. Some men love bright shades of red, yellow, poisonous green, but you can only understand this from his lifestyle: choose shades from his suit.
Step 3
The pattern can be thin and small or large and rough. In accordance with this, select the thickness of the bracelet. At the same time, do not make the jewelry too thin: 5mm bracelets are more suitable for a teenage girl than a man.
Step 4
Use different materials and techniques. Beads help to achieve a wide variety in shape, color and pattern: use an openwork or dense technique, peyote, in a cross or Ndebele, in one or two needles.
Step 5
Weave bracelets with an elastic band. It will allow you to do without fasteners and make the decoration even, without tears. In addition, the rubber thread is quite dense and durable, which cannot be said about the thread.
The elastic has only one drawback - it is too thick. Along with it, choose beads with large holes: when weaving, you will have to go through each bead several times.
