Weaving with floss - a simple option
For beginner needlewomen, it is best to start withthe simplest option. It is made from 6 or 8 strands. You need to take several different colors of floss and measure the length equal to the width of the wrist, adding about 8 cm for reserve. If you do not want to measure, then you can simply cut off 60 cm and try on the bracelets on yourself as you weave. Then all the cut strands must be tied into a knot on one side. It should be attached to something with a pin. At the same time, it should be comfortable to sit and weave with your own hands. Now you can start an interesting activity. This is done very simply. First, you should divide the threads into two parts so that on each side there is one of the same color. If you weave from 8 strands, then there should be four on the sides. It is necessary to weave the knots with your own hands in a certain sequence. To do this, you should choose which colors will go first and which last. Only the same tones should be tied together. The technique itself is simple: you need to tie the second thread with the first thread so that it comes out from right to left. This action should be repeated with each strand. Using this method, the bracelet is braided to the end and a tie is made in the form of a braid. The brighter and more varied the colors, the more beautiful the finished product will look. You can weave all sorts of ribbons, beads or seed beads into it. In addition, having gained the skill, you can improve your technique. Weaving is also done asymmetrically or from different sides. The pattern will change, and the bracelets will become more original.
Weaving with a chain of yarn
Often those who have mastered the technique of weaving simplebaubles, this is no longer enough. Therefore, real fashionistas begin to show their imagination and invent something new. A good option is to make a similar thing with your own hands using an ordinary chain. It can be absolutely any, with both small and large links. In this case, it is enough to buy the cheapest chain in a jewelry store. The main condition is that it should be the size of the wrist of the future owner. As threads, you need to take ordinary floss, but thicker options will also look beautiful, such as medium-thick knitting yarn. If the chain itself has large rings, then thick wool yarn will do. In addition, you will also need a hook. When everything is prepared, you can begin the manufacturing process. When making bracelets this way, you initially need to secure the thread on the hook. After that, it needs to be threaded through the outer link on the chain and tie it in order. At the end of the row, make an additional loop, turn around and knit the second row of threads. There can be any number of them, at your discretion. Accordingly, if you want to get a wide overall look, you will have to make more rows. You should also take into account that you need to knit the chain on the other side in the same way with your own hands. As a result, it should be in the middle. If the chain consists of beautiful stones, it will be even more original.
Weaving on the technique of macrame
Another way of weaving threads can beis made using the macrame technique. You will need a waxed cord and large beads. If you don’t have a cord, then knitting yarn will do. This technique is suitable for those who have ever done macrame and know what a single flat knot and a capuchin knot are. To select the desired length, you need to wrap your wrist five times. You will need 7 of these threads. They need to be attached to a pillow or any object with a pin, divided and start weaving the outer three threads with your own hands. You need to make 5 single flat knots on them. After that, move to the right side and do the same. You need to put a bead on the thread that remains in the middle. The next step is to take the cord in the middle and the two outer ones. You need to weave five more single flat knots from them. Thus, you need to make the rest of the rows with your own hands. There can be as many of them as you like. It’s worth finishing everything with a bead, under which a knot will be tied. The ends of the ropes are folded together. Then the clasp is made. It will require an additional thread, on which square knots are tied, with their help it will be possible to adjust the bracelets. To prevent it from untying, all the remaining ends are tied with a "capuchin" knot and tightened. Belts or sashes are also woven using this technique. If you want, you should try to weave beautiful and original bracelets from threads yourself. A little imagination and persistence, and everything will turn out in the best possible way.
