Since ancient times, bracelets have been used by women as a way to attract a man's gaze to graceful women's wrists. As a decoration, a bracelet is considered one of the best gifts. If store jewelry no longer attracts you, it doesn’t matter. With the help of beading, you can create a unique bracelet for every taste and age.
To make the jewelry you will need: beads of 2-4 colors, fishing line, tweezers, clasp. So that the lesson does not tire you, it is important to organize the workplace correctly. For convenience and to avoid eye fatigue, lay on a smooth surface of the table a fleecy monochromatic fabric of a calm color. This will prevent the beads from rolling, and the material itself will be clearly visible.
As a box for storing beads, you can use an icebox or glue matchboxes in rows to make several compartments. The best lighting will be a matte lamp of no more than 40 watts. You can take beads with tweezers.
To make the "Eight" bracelet, you first need to weave a blank - a one-color chain of circles of the required length. Count an even number of beads to create one circle (for example, 14). String 13 on the line, and in the 14th bead thread both ends of the line and pull to make a circle. Follow the diagram (see fig. 1)
After making the required number of circles, flip the chain so that the ends of the line are at the bottom. Select the required number of beads of a different color and start weaving in the opposite direction.
Pass the left end of the line from top to bottom through the third bead from the base on the left side of the last circle, and the right end through the symmetrical bead on the right. Thread 1 bead on the left thread, and 2 on the right thread. Pass the left thread through the top bead on the right thread and tighten. String one bead on both threads and go from top to bottom through the holes of the corresponding beads of the lower circle.
Cast on 2 beads on both threads and go from top to bottom through the beads of the second circle. Repeat this technique along the entire length of the bracelet. Color options can be thought out by initially drawing a layout of the future bracelet on paper.
