Friendship bracelets are often called baubles.They are considered to bring good luck. In addition, it is an original and stylish accessory. The easiest way to weave baubles is from floss threads. You can buy them in craft stores, the brighter the threads, the more beautiful the product will be. Colored bracelets will become a unique decoration, will help you stand out from the crowd, and will also be a good gift for friends. How to weave baubles from floss? It is not difficult to learn this at all, you just need to be patient. For work you will need:
- Threads of a mulina of different colors.
- Scissors.
- Needle.
- Pin is English.
- Pillow is small in size to pin up the product during operation.
To calculate the length of the threads, you shouldMeasure the circumference of your wrist and multiply this value by 4, adding 5-10 cm to make the bracelet ties. The ends of the threads are fixed with a pin, then the bauble will not twist when weaving. Before you start weaving baubles from floss, you need to learn how to make 4 basic knots.
Types of units and techniques for their execution
- In the technique of weaving, there are always 2 threads: working (with its help knots are made) and axial, on which knots are knit. In the process of weaving, they constantly change places, i.e. Work becomes axial and vice versa.
- The general principle of knotting is as follows: the axial thread is taken in one hand and tightened, and the other hand with a working thread becomes a bundle. It is necessary to take an even number of threads of a floss (not less than 4). They gather in a bundle and are tied with a common common knot. In this case, the distance from the knot to the edge should be 5-10 cm, to then weave the pigtail, which will be a string for the finished bracelet. Mulinoe fastened with a pin to the pillow or with the help of an adhesive tape to the table.
- The right hinge node. In the hand takes the leftmost thread and stretches, it will be axial. With the right hand, the working thread, in this case following the axial thread, wraps around it from left to right. Then, through the formed loop, it is necessary to pull the tip of the thread and move the knot up. In the same way, make a second nodule and push it close to the previous one. Now the working and axial threads changed places and, accordingly, changed the working functions. If a knot accidentally turned out to be too tight, you can stretch it using a needle.
- Left hinged knot. It is executed as a mirror image of the right node, i.e. The threads of the mule are taken from the right side and the knot on the axial thread is knitted from right to left.
- Right turn. On the axial thread, the right knot is first done, and then the left knot is done.
- Left turn. First, the working thread is the left loop, then the right one.
Thus, from the many knots tiedin various ways in a certain sequence, a pattern is woven. There are a large number of weaving options. First, it is worth mastering the simplest and most understandable patterns for weaving baubles from floss. Subsequently, you can master more complex techniques for making bracelets and other fashionable jewelry, knowing how to weave baubles from threads.
Ways of weaving the baubles
The simplest weaving used inbaubles, is a braid. It is woven using 3 threads. If the quantity is greater, then they are all divided into 3 parts and a regular braid is woven. This is how the ends of the floss are often woven when finishing the work on the product. But there are weaving patterns from 4 and 5 elements, then more interesting and beautiful bracelets are obtained.
- To braid a braid from 4 threads (as well as any even number), you need to take 2 central threads each time and transfer the left one to the far right row, and the right one to the left, and so on until the end.
- For braids of 5 threads and another oddthere is a scheme, which is called the cord of an aglet. Weave in this case, moving the left thread first to the center, and then the right one. And so repeat the required number of times. There are other schemes of weaving braids, more complex.
Making baubles with oblique weaving You need to take,For example, 6 threads of floss of the desired length. Let them be in 3 colors, 2 of each color. After the floss is tied in a knot and secured with a pin, you can proceed directly to the oblique weaving. To do this, the threads are sorted by color, then the first from the left is made 2 knots on the second. In the same way, knots are tied with the first thread on the third, fourth, etc. You should try to place each subsequent knot slightly below the previous one. After finishing the first row, again take the first thread from the left and weave the second row. And so from left to right, row after row is woven. Upon reaching the desired length of the bracelet, braid pigtails of about 2 cm are woven from both ends, which end in knots. In order to secure the bauble to your hand, you can make a loop on one end, and tie a bead on the other, which acts as a button. But such a fastening is not very reliable and the bauble can accidentally come unfastened. It is best to buy a lock of a suitable color and design in a handicraft store. Direct weaving method More complex patterns can be created with direct weaving. The leading thread here will be the leftmost thread, which must be made longer than the others. Braiding each thread in turn, you need to finish the first row, then the second row is braided with the same thread from right to left, then the third - from left to right. So you need to weave until the desired length of the bracelet. If you need to start weaving a pattern, then the leading thread is braided with the axial one. The knot changes color and must be made in the opposite direction, then you can continue weaving with the leading thread. Weaving according to patterns Having figured out how to weave baubles from threads according to patterns, you can learn to make very beautiful and original bracelets. At first, it is better to use ready-made patterns, later you can make them yourself.
- Usually the diagrams indicate the colors thatare used for weaving. But it is not necessary to take precisely these combinations, the main thing. so that the color varies quantitatively. Threads are distributed according to colors according to the scheme, tied with a large knot and fastened with a pin. If the diagram contains a picture, then the background thread should not be cut off and go from the tangle.
- As a rule, all schemes denote nodes andarrow shows how to guide the threads when knitting knots. The diagonal arrow pointing down to the left means that you need to wrap the right thread on the left thread and drag the end to the loop, then return it to its original position and make another similar node.
- The downward arrow from the left to the right indicates a node that fades like the previous one, but with the help of the left thread.
- A broken arrow pointing to the left shows that you should tie two nodules in opposite directions: the first with the left thread, the second with the right one.
- The curved arrow to the right means 2 opposite nodes, of which the first is the right one, and the second is the left one.
- When weaving a burglary from a floss with a pattern, we mustfix the thread of the contour and knit the nodules of the background color on it. If you want to add a third color, the new thread is tied to the main one and the required number of knots is sewn. The main thread is located behind the product and, if necessary, is added to the work.
According to the patterns, baubles with various designs are wovenwith pictures, with names, with sharp corners. A checkered pattern is very fashionable. A pattern of diamonds of different colors looks very interesting. To diversify bracelets and give them originality, you can make baubles with rhinestones, chains. There are patterns in which beads, beads and metal elements are woven.
