Rubber bracelets are accessories that have become the main hit of 2015 among young fashionistas. Weaving such jewelry is a simple task, but it requires perseverance.
It is necessary
- - multi-colored elastic bands for bracelets;
- - machine for weaving bracelets;
- - hook;
- - S-shaped clasp.
Instructions
Step 1
First, place the machine in front of you. Take one rubber band in your hands (its color does not matter) and put it on two adjacent posts located obliquely. Take the second elastic and put one end of it on the post with the elastic, and the other on the adjacent free one. As a result, the rubber bands should be positioned in the form of the letter "V".
Step 2
Take the third elastic in your hands and put one end of it on the post with the elastic, the second on the free adjacent one so that you get a shape in the shape of the letter "N". In exactly the same way, continue to put the rubber bands on the machine until the length of the machine ends, or you do not reach the desired length of the bracelet itself. It is worth noting that only 20-22 rubber bands are enough for a wrist circumference of 15-17 centimeters.
Step 3
After the above work is done, take the hook in your hands, find on the machine the tip of the elastic band, which is on the post from the bottom of the other elastic band (located on the middle peg), carefully place the hook in the groove of the post, pick up the lower elastic band and throw it over the upper one, itself put the elastic on the adjacent column so that it "folds in half".
Next, place the hook in the groove of the column with a double loop (it was the double loop that turned out when the above instructions were followed), grab the lower rubber band, throw it over the loop and put it on the next column (this rubber band should also fold in half, like the previous one). Continue to weave the bracelet until you run out of elastic.
Step 4
When the elastic bands run out, carefully attach a clasp to one end of the bracelet and remove the resulting accessory from the posts. Attach the other end of the bracelet to the clasp.
Step 5
The bracelet of elastic bands in the form of a pigtail is ready, now you can put it on your wrist.
