Weaving bracelets from beads is a skill without borders. Having mastered this skill, you, undoubtedly, will be able to replenish your image with original ornaments that will show your individuality and help to reveal creative potential.
Simple braiding
Trying to learn the technique of weaving bracelets from beads, you should start with simple models. To make this ornament from beads (baubles), measure the arm circumference to know how long a bracelet should be. Now we choose beads of the necessary colors and fasteners. The size of this bead does not have to be the same. We put the beads on a fleecy cloth (towel). Scheme weaving bracelet can be taken from a book or come up with yourself.
Now we take a strong reinforced thread, at the end of which we tie a knot. The rest of the thread is cut. On the nodule, we apply a few drops of transparent glue that will fix it. We let the glue dry and on the tip of the thread where the knot is, we put on the clasp of the future decoration. With the help of pliers fasten the clasp. After that, on the thread from the free edge, we begin to string the beads according to the established order of colors. Very original look bracelets, in which at the same time several threads with beads strung on them are twisted, forming a spiral. The production of such bracelets is also easy.
We take beads of different colors (black and white). We fasten the black bead so that it becomes the base of the two ends of the thread. For each of these ends, add one black and two white beads, and then pass the thread into the black bead on the main string so that a diamond is formed. We tighten the thread in such a way that it is not stretched and at the same time was in slight tension. We continue the weaving until we get the desired width of the bracelet.
After that, we make another row, in which we thread the black beads of the previous row. Repeat this series is necessary depending on the length of the bracelet. For a lace bracelet, you can add three or even four beads instead of two.
At the end of the whole weaving, we make one more knot, moisten it with glue, and after it has dried, using all the same pliers, we tighten the second part of the fastener.
Braiding of a wide bracelet
For braiding wide bracelets you need to acquire: a bead, a beaded needle, a lavsan or polyester thread, two or three carabiner locks or one lock for three strings.
When weaving such a bracelet it is very convenient to use the so-called mosaic technique (otherwise - peyote). This technique allows you to place beads on the principle of honeycomb. Those. there is a displacement of the rows of each other by half the width of the bead. It is desirable that for braiding a wide bracelet beads do not differ from each other in size, this will not affect the symmetry of the bracelet.
So, to make a wide bracelet we type the first bead on the needle. After it, we leave the end of the thread about 15 centimeters long. On this tip we must fasten the lock. We sew the bead again, fixing it with a loop. We type a clear number of beads. Now compare the length of the typed strip of beads with the expected width of the product. We type one more bead, it is considered to be the first. In the opposite direction we pass through the third bead. We get a loop of two extreme beads. We dial another bead and go through the fifth of the dialed. We continue to alternate with the addition of new beads and the consolidation of the odd previously dialed.
When we reach the end of the series, we dial beads, again change direction and we weave the next row. Repeat this is necessary until we get the right length for the wrist. Having finished weaving, we fasten special locks, and we hide the ends of threads in a bracelet.
Having mastered the technique of weaving and its principle, you can try a variety of variations of wide bracelets and technique of mosaic weaving, using different types and colors of beads. By changing all these components, you will get a variety in beading bracelets and bracelets.
