colored bauble

It is better to start with a simple to master for beginners. The bracelet will still turn out very stylish.

But first, you need to measure the wrist for which you plan to create jewelry.

The resulting wrist girth is multiplied by ten and the desired length is obtained, then they already proceed to how to weave bracelets from tubes.

Weaving will require:

• durable and flexible tubes of any color;
• beads (the diameter should fit the tubes);
• decorative metal ring.

First, prepare the basis for the future bracelet. Operate as follows:

1. The selected material is folded in half and cut. One part is postponed - it will still be needed.
2. The second half is divided in two to make two short tubes a little longer than the desired wrist circumference. To create a multi-colored decoration, cut pieces from a material of a different color.
3. Two small tubes, bent in the middle, are put together. The ends are tied into a fairly strong knot.

After preparing the bases, they proceed to the most important thing - to braiding the resulting workpiece. You can make a bracelet from tubes like this:

1. It turned out four ends of the tube, they are laid out on the table - they should not be confused. A bead is put on the first tip on the left. If the bead has a wide hole, then it can be put on both ends.
2. Now use a long tube. It is tied in a knot at the top of the workpiece, while the ends of the tube should be the same length. They are led in behind the others and the knot is tied again. The ends are pulled forward - due to this, the strung bead will be fixed in place.
3. These actions are repeated again, but without a bead. Then they continue to collect beads, weaving knots, until the required length is obtained. Next to the resulting pattern, a strong knot is tightened.
4. Golden rings are put on the bauble and tie the ends of all the tubes to the last knot - you get a reliable fastener that will be difficult to lose.

square weave

This weave starts in the same way as the round one. In this case, the length of the tube should be three times the intended product. For a square baubles, four multi-colored tubes are required. Then perform the following steps:

With proper skill, this bauble is woven in a couple of minutes. As a fastener, you can use a rubber cord or decorative metal rings.

Having mastered round or square weaving from tubes, you can create many interesting bracelets for yourself and your family.

You can combine different colors, creating complex designs from a large number of tubes - there are limitations only in the imagination of the needlewoman. In any case, this work will appeal to many adults and children.

Today we will learn how to weave unusual plastic tube bracelets that will surely attract attention with their originality.

Bright bracelet made of cocktail tubes

After any party, there are many unused straws for cocktails. They are thrown into some distant box, where they are safely forgotten. The same story is repeated on the next holiday. But from these tubes you can make an excellent bracelet!

Materials and tools for a tube bracelet

To make an original bracelet, we need to take the following tools and materials:

• scissors
• wire cutters
• straws for a cocktail of four colors
• wire
• Super glue
• threads

Making a bracelet from cocktail tubes

1. First, carefully sew the ends of four straws of different colors.

2. Let's start weaving. We impose one straw on another clockwise, then bend the second and impose on the third. We bend the third and impose on the fourth. After that, we begin to bend the tubes counterclockwise, in the opposite direction.

3. We bend the frame of the wire bracelet. We pinch off the excess with wire cutters. So that the wire cannot be seen through the bracelet later, we thread the frame into a straw. We insert the frame into the middle of the weave, and then we begin to braid it.

4. After the straw ends, drip glue inside it, and then insert another of the same color into the hole.

5. We braid the straws to the end of the frame, then cut off the remaining unnecessary ends of the tubes. We insert the last end inside the entire structure and drip a little glue into this place in order to secure the connection more securely.

Our bracelet is ready. It will look bright and unusual, attracting the attention of others.

Two-tone bracelet for a girl

If the previous option turned out to be too difficult for someone, do not be discouraged. Now we will learn how to make a simple two-color bracelet. This is the perfect decoration for a little girl.

Materials and tools for making a two-tone bracelet

To make a bracelet, take:

• drip system
• scissors
• gypsy needle
• threads of two colors

The process of making a two-tone bracelet

1. We cut the dropper system into fragments about 1.5 cm long (you can change the length of the segments as desired). In total, approximately 40 pieces should be obtained (this depends on the thickness of the hand).

2. We string all the details on the first thread (beige). A thin thread can be folded 2 times. The tube needs to be filled.

3. We thread a thread of a different color (blue) into segments of tubes towards a beige thread.

4. We add all the segments together, and then we stretch the thread in a zigzag alternately through all the fragments.

5. Gently pull the second thread through the fragments. We tighten in the process so that all the segments lie evenly.

6. We move in this way until all the tubes strung on the first thread run out. We try on in the process - the bracelet should lie tightly and not hang out. Also note that it will stretch.

7. After we have strung all the details, you need to cut off the extra threads and tie knots tightly. The ends of the threads can be pulled through the segments of the tubes, thereby hiding them. In this case, the bracelet will look more aesthetically pleasing.

8. That's it, our two-tone bracelet for the girl is ready.

9. This way the bracelet looks on the hand.

You can make such a bracelet from threads of the same color, and then decorate it with beads - multi-colored or matching. There is a lot of room for creativity and imagination here for you and your child.

Not everyone knows that a bauble, considered an attribute of a hippie, appeared much earlier than this well-known subculture. The idea of ​​weaving wrist jewelry from different materials was borrowed from the native inhabitants of America - the ancient Indians. According to tradition, people who exchanged woven bracelets became named brothers for life. This is where the meaning of peace and friendship, which is inherent in the bauble, came from. In addition, the color of the bracelet also has its own interpretation. Tube weaving is easy to master when making a bracelet!

Now bauble- just a fashionable decoration, popular among young people. They are suitable for any style of clothing, whether it is a light summer dress or jeans. You just need to choose the right color. Many people weave baubles on their own, using a variety of materials for this purpose, such as threads, ribbons and tubes. Plastic tubes for weaving are one of the simplest, and at the same time, original materials for weaving bracelets, perfect for beginner needlewomen.

We study the weaving of bright tubes of original bracelets

In order to weave a bauble out of colored tubes, first pass the measurement of your wrist. We obtain the required length of the workpiece by multiplying the girth of the wrist by 10.

Here's what you need to weave a bracelet:

• flexible and durable tube of any diameter and color;
• beads of medium size, suitable for the diameter of the tube;
• a small decorative ring made of metal, covered with golden paint.

If everything is ready, let's start weaving.

Preparing the base for the bracelet

First, fold the tube in half and cut. Set aside one part, you will need it later. Divide the second half in half, too, getting two short tubes a little longer than the girth of the wrist. To create a multi-colored little thing, cut a few pieces of the specified length from the colored tubes.

Fold together two small tubes bent in the middle, and tie their ends into a strong knot. It's time to start weaving.

We proceed to the gradual braiding of the workpiece

You have four working ends of the tube. Lay them out on the table so they don't get tangled. Put one bead on the first left tip. You can put it on both ends of the tube at once if the hole is wide enough.

Now a long tube will come into play. Tie it in a knot at the very top of the workpiece, so that the ends of this tube are the same length. Bring them behind the rest and tie another knot, and then pull the ends forward. This will secure the strung bead in place.

Repeat this one more time, only this time without the bead. Continue to collect beads and knit knots until the base of the bracelet is finished. Tie another strong knot right next to the weave pattern.

Put a golden ring on a bauble and tie the ends of all the tubes, including the working long tube, to the last knot. Thus, we have formed a reliable clasp for our bracelet, which will not fly off and will not be lost.

We disassemble the creation of a beautiful bracelet with a square weave

Square weaving begins in the same way as round weaving. The length of the tube should be approximately three times the length of the intended product.

To weave a square bauble, you need to prepare 4 tubes of different colors and follow a few steps step by step. Two long tubes are also suitable, with them the bracelet will turn out to be two-color.

Tie the ends of the tubes into a knot - from here we will begin our weaving. Take the resulting knot with your thumb and forefinger and straighten the tubes, pulling them to the sides. Lay the end with the knot on the table. For a more comfortable weaving, you can press it down with something. Ideally, if you have a special machine on which you can securely fix the bracelet blank.

The colors of the tubes can be whatever you want. In the diagrams, they are shown in yellow, blue, red and green colors to make the weaving process clearer.

We analyze the technique of square weaving for making jewelry

We start weaving with a green tube. Roll it with a loop towards the yellow tube and place it on top of it.

Lay the yellow tube on the blue one as well to form a loop, and it, in turn, on the red one. After that, thread the red tube into the green loop and gently, evenly pulling out all the tubes, tighten the knot in the form of a square.

Weaving continues from the green tube in the direction from left to right. Start the second row in the same way with green, but this time change the direction of weaving to the opposite. Alternate rows with each other, ending them with either a red or a yellow tube.

This is what a simple, and at the same time interesting bauble can be woven from flexible plastic tubes, in just a few minutes.

For lovers of weaving from tubules, beautiful and original bracelets of other types and patterns of various jewelry are presented in the following videos.

For diligence and art there is nothing impossible.

Content

A bauble or bracelet is an ornament made of various materials: leather, threads, beads and simple cords. Someone considers them a decor, others prefer to call them a symbol of friendship. How to weave baubles if you have never done it? You only need to decide on the type and materials used and follow our recommendations step by step. We will analyze all possible options so that you have no questions left.

Weave in the form of a pigtail

Try a four-ply braid first:

• In this case, two central threads are taken: the left one is superimposed on the right side, and the right one on the left. As a result, two extreme threads are in the center.
• We continue weaving to the desired length.

In a similar way, a bauble is woven from an even number of ropes. When using an odd number, the extreme ones alternately cross in the center, as in the case of three. With a little practice, the pigtail is formed especially quickly.

There are more complex ways, when the extreme threads are intertwined around one central one.

Oblique weaving

Having understood the basic principles of knot formation, you will quickly understand all the techniques. First of all, oblique weaving is used. To do this, the rows are performed either from left to right or from right to left. The designations on the diagrams indicate which node should be in a given place. The bead is strung on a fishing line in accordance with the color indicated in the diagram.

If desired, you can make a pattern in the form of arrows or a zigzag. We will talk about them below.

Bicolor

In most cases, such decorations are woven using ribbons or cords. Ribbons should not be wide, but you can experiment if you wish. A bauble made of leather cords in two contrasting colors looks spectacular.

There is nothing complicated in this technique. Watch the video tutorial and follow the instructions of the wizard. After a couple of nodes, you will understand the principle, and the work will go much faster.

multicolored

Try to weave not only two-color bracelets, but also multi-colored ones - you just need to change the pattern.

• To do this, put dots on paper and paint over them with a certain color.
• Measure your wrist - this will be the length of the product.
• The width depends on your imagination.

If you use ribbon, use 2-3-4 colors. But especially spectacular bracelets are made from beads. Take absolutely any pattern as a basis, and each decoration will be unique.

Try a simple diagram first. Use . You need to start with a strip of beads strung on a fishing line. Then work according to the scheme.

Once the length is sufficient, make a clasp. Use a hook or special locks. If desired, weave a long bracelet and wear it without unfastening it. Do not forget to solder the ends of the fishing line so that the woven fabric does not unravel.

With names

Jewelry with names looks especially attractive. They are presented as a gift or a symbol of friendship. To create a pattern, you will need several colors, but even with two colors of the material, you get a beautiful commemorative bracelet.

In addition to beads, prepare a lighter or matches, fishing line, scissors, pliers (if you have a clasp). Start weaving according to the classic pattern above. Use a stencil to create letters. To make it convenient, draw a diagram on paper and knit according to it.

Bracelets can be wide, and then they will fit not only the name, but also other words and signs that are important to you.

Nominal products are not necessarily woven from beads. Check out the video tutorial, which details how to create letters from threads.

Main knots

For the convenience of knitting, remember the main knots. To do this, use our master class.

You will need:

• spool of thread or skein of yarn
• clip or pin
• pillow
• tailor's meter

• Prepare segments 40-50 centimeters long. Connect them and tie a knot. Insert a pin into it.
• Next, you need to fix the pin on the pillow with a needle. Arrange the threads one by one or in the sequence you need, according to the diagram.

• We braid the worker with a knot, creating a loop. You need to stretch the same worker into it and tighten it.
• Repeat the process and you will have a double knot. Next, you need to swap the threads. The loops should be the same and tight.
• As a result, the first thread became the second. We use it as a nodular one, and the third one - as a working one. We continue until the first becomes the last.
• Once the ring is the desired length, finish with a regular braid and secure the two ends with knots.
• You can cut off the extra ends.

With rhinestones and stones

This master class will help you create a bauble with rhinestones. For beginners, we recommend a simple option.

• Take a needle, nylon threads and rhinestones.
• Start from the lock and sew it in the middle or along the edges with stitches, stringing rhinestones, balls or beads on the front side.

The spike is fixed in a similar way if it has screws.

• With the help of an awl, the element is tightly pierced and fixed.

Tip: please note that the threads should not be broken through, but pushed apart with an awl so that the product does not unravel.

If skill allows, add rhinestones.

• In the process of work, simply weave the elements into the fabric, and knit with any chosen method that you have already mastered.
• Make sure that the position of the rhinestones is the same, and then the bracelet will turn out perfectly symmetrical.

With chain

If you already have a bauble or even a bookmark, use this technique to update it by adding a chain. Agree, in the photo this decor looks good.

For work, take a floss, a needle, scissors.

• We take the threads and insert them into the needle. First, baubles need to tie a knot.
• Over the edge, we begin to sew our chain tightly.
• Please note that the stitches must be the same length as the distance between the chain links.
• We continue to work until the end of the bracelet.
• It remains only to cut off the excess and enjoy the new decoration.

From satin ribbons

With the help of this master class, you will learn how to weave baubles from ribbons. Perform the following steps in sequence:

• Take two ribbons and tie them together.
• Lay out one end in the form of a coil or loop.
• We also fold the next end in the form of a loop and thread it into the previous turn.
• We tighten the loop of the first tape.
• We make the next turn and insert the previous one into it, also tightening.
• Continue until the desired length is reached.

For attractiveness, use ribbons of different colors, and then you will get a pretty strap.

From floss threads

A wide variety of floss products are distinguished. For beginners, it will not be easy to understand the technique, but after trying a couple of knots on simple threads, you will also master this technique. It is only required to follow the weaving pattern.

In addition to floss, where cotton and nylon are used. It is more slippery and a little easier for beginners to weave. But the knots require a stronger connection, because they unravel if careless.

• Pick the right colors. To create unique jewelry, you will need a set of floss.
• Secure the desired number of threads with a clip and paper clip.
• Follow the instructions in the video tutorial.

macrame style

The knots used in macrame will help create a special pattern. Already from the photographs it can be seen that these are openwork products that are simply impossible to create using floss or ribbons.

They are woven from nylon threads. You will need 5 of them. With a ruler, measure 2 pieces of 80 centimeters each, 2 - 55 centimeters each and one - no more than 25 centimeters long. You will also need a ring.

• Fasten the medium length pieces to the ring. To do this, fold them in half and insert them into the ring, creating a loop. You need to thread the ends into it and tighten it. Such a mount will be reliable and motionless.
• Next, a segment 80 centimeters long is taken and folded in half.
• We put it under the two central ones.
• We will weave using long ends.

To get started, practice on simple knots according to the following scheme:

With an image

For experienced craftswomen, we recommend trying the technique with a pattern. She practically does not despair of the above: it can be knots of threads or patterns of beads. The picture needs to be converted into a diagram with a picture, phrase or logo.

• Create the desired length of the product.
• Next, use the selected clasp. Hooks are suitable for narrow baubles, for wide baubles you will need to purchase a clasp.
• Sometimes it is necessary to make additional holes in it, which must be drilled with a thin drill.
• If this is too complicated, sew on a button and make a loop at the other end.

With nuts

When creating jewelry, even more unusual items are used: nuts.

• Look again at the description of the "pigtail" technique.
• When creating weaves, simply thread the thread through the hole in the nut and keep going.
• Decide for yourself where the nuts will be located: on both sides of the bracelet or only on one.

How to make a friendship necklace

Baubles are a symbol of friendship. Why not create a necklace in the same way? You can use any of the above techniques. Make a necklace of threads, floss, beads, nuts and chains - it all depends on your desire!

What do the baubles "talk about"

Baubles are not only a symbol of friendship and affection. They cannot be sold, only given away. It is generally accepted that they fulfill a wish: you need to make it when weaving the third knot, and it will certainly come true.

It is believed that the presence of two identical baubles in people indicates their sympathy for each other. The owners of white bracelets strive for freedom, and those who wear red bracelets - for love. While tying them on your hand, make a wish, after a while it will come true.

If the bauble is untied or torn - perhaps your friendship with the person who gave it will soon come to an end.
