Floss threads are usually used for embroidery. Bright colors, durability and suitable thickness make them an excellent material for weaving belts, bracelets and other items. Mouline threads can be combined with beads or beads. You can weave a bracelet of any thickness. It is better to start with a small product made of 6 or 8 strands.
It is necessary
- - floss threads;
- - pin;
- - a stationary object to which the work is attached;
- - 4 wooden beads.
Instructions
Step 1
Cut 3 strands of floss 6-8 times the length of the intended product. Fold them in half. Step back 8-10 cm from the beginning and tie the threads in a knot. You will return to the beginning a little later. Attach the work to a stationary object, such as a nail driven into the edge of a table. You can pull a thick thread between the backs of the chair and tie the threads into a knot on it. The auxiliary thread is simply cut off after the end of the work.
Step 2
Straight or oblique knot weaving is most suitable for a bracelet. To make the pattern visible, select the threads in three different colors. Arrange the work so that threads of the same color are side by side. Take the strand that is on the left edge. Bring it onto the adjacent thread, then under it and pull it into the formed loop. For the second knot, pass the same thread first under the neighboring one, then above it and again into the loop.
Step 3
In the same way, tie 2 knots with the same thread on all the others. After finishing the row, release this thread and do the same to the next one, which has now become the extreme from the left. You will end up with 2 rows of yarn of the same color.
Step 4
After finishing the second row, make 2 rows with threads of a different color, then the next one. So change colors until you braid the bracelet to the desired length. At the end of the last row, tie all the threads in a knot.
Step 5
Divide the weaving into 2 parts so that each one contains threads of all colors. Weave 2 regular 3-strand braids. Attach a wooden bead to the end. Go back to the beginning of the weave and make the same braids on the other side, ending with beads.
Step 6
Straight weaving can also be used. In this case, the first thread should be 3-4 times longer than the rest. The rest of the strands correspond to the length of the bracelet itself, taking into account the braids, plus a few more centimeters so that the braids do not turn out to be too short.
Step 7
In the same way as in the first method, tie the threads in a knot, stepping back from the edge to a length slightly larger than the size of the pigtail. Line up the ends of all the threads. The longest one should be on the far left.
Step 8
As in oblique weaving, make 2 knots with the first thread on the adjacent one, then on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth. Weave the second row with the same thread in the opposite direction. All other rows are also performed with this strand, which is why it should be longer.
Step 9
The ties can be made exactly the same as in the first method. But you can start and end the weaving with not two, but one pigtail. Take threads of the same color in each strand. Instead of wooden beads, you can take plastic or ceramic beads.
