Fenches, bright bracelets of arbitrary width, can be woven from anything: from threads, fishing line, leather cord, beads, beads, shells, buttons. It is enough to study several basic weaving techniques and choose materials that are in harmony with each other in color.
It is necessary
- - leather cord or leather trim;
- - large beads;
- - beads;
- - fishing line.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the easy ways to weave a spectacular bauble is to string large beads onto a leather cord. For such work, you can take a ready-made cord, or you can cut it out of scraps of leather.
Step 2
To make the cord, cut off the sharp corners of the leather flap and cut it in a spiral pattern to form a long strip of leather two to three millimeters wide. Soak the resulting lace in water, twist it and fold it in half. You can dry the resulting twisted cord in a stretched state or by winding it on any suitable rigid object - a ruler, cardboard or box.
Step 3
Cut two pieces of leather cord to the same length and tie them in a knot ten centimeters from the end. Slip a large bead over one cord and retighten the knot on both cords just behind the strung bead. Thus, weave the entire bauble.
Step 4
You can fasten such a bracelet to the wrist by tying the ends of the cords in a knot, or you can pick up a bead with a hole of a suitable size and thread the ends of the cords into it. In order to secure such a bracelet on the wrist, it is enough to move the bead closer to the hand.
Step 5
Uncomplicated baubles can be woven from beads, alternating a chain made using the technique of monastery weaving with large beads. To do this, put three beads in a row on the fishing line. In the fourth bead, thread both ends of the fishing line towards each other.
Step 6
String the beads on both ends of the line, then pass the line crosswise into the next bead. At intervals of several crosses, string a large bead on both ends of the fishing line and continue to weave the chain further. Instead of a large bead, you can take a shell with a hole through which the fishing line will pass.
Step 7
To secure the bracelet, put on beads on each end of the fishing line and thread the ends into the bead from which the chain begins. To prevent the bauble from falling apart after a few days, pass the fishing line through all the beads of the bracelet, tie it in neat knots in several places and cut it off. The ends of the line can be melted with a match.
