How to weave a belt with your own hands master class

In order to make a braided belt with our own hands, we need:

  • buckle
  • cord / yarn / fabric: about 30 meters
  • scissors
  • glue, matches / lighter or sewing machine
  • elastic band

1. First, decide on the material for the future belt.
In this case, a cord is used, but besides it, you can weave a similar belt from yarn or make blanks from fabric.
In this way, an interesting bracelet or headband can be woven from fine yarn.

The length of the cord in the presented master class is almost 30 meters. In this case, the size of the finished belt will be about 90cm.

Cut the desired length of the selected material (it is better to take with a margin) and fasten with a knot on the buckle, folding it in half clearly along the middle, as shown in the image -1-.

2. Measure the required length of the strap and secure the opposite part of the cord (see image -1-) in this location by wrapping it around any suitable object. After that, fix this end with an elastic band or thread for the convenience of further weaving the belt.

3. Pull the two ends of the cord back through the buckle as shown in image -2-. Note that one end goes over and the other under the buckle.

Thus, you will get a blank of four fixed threads, as well as two free ones (the ends of the cord), which will intertwine the rest.

4. Start weaving. This process is quite simple and is clearly shown in images -2 and 3-: stretch each of the ends of the cord alternately around the two main fixed threads, first under the end for one and over the end for the other. After that, similarly below / above the second thread.

5. Holding the warp threads, move the loops obtained in the previous step towards the buckle until you get a tight weave (see image -3-).

6. Now you need to change the ends of the cord together for further weaving. Draw one of the ends (originally under the buckle) over the near extreme cord, then under the two middle ones and bring it to the other side over the opposite extreme end.

Do the same for the other cord, this time passing it under the outer and above the middle ones (see image -4-).

7. Move the loops towards the buckle, in this case pulling them not too tightly. Otherwise, the braiding will be tight and you will not be able to fasten the buckle.

8. Bind in this way, alternating steps 4-7, until you reach the end of the strap (see image -5-). After that, cut the threads and use a lighter (you can fix it with glue) along the end, or, if you are using yarn or fabric, sew on a sewing machine.

By the way, it is not necessary to repeat these steps one after another: you can weave the belt, doing only steps 4-5 one after the other, or make the desired number of repetitions of one pattern first, and then another.
Voila! Do-it-yourself braided belt is ready!

braids and cords. In the work could be from 3 to 15 or even more threads. Braided braids can be different: narrow and monochromatic, wide and multi-colored, and vice versa. Pigtails can be used as a belt, as a braid, as handles for bags. For weaving braids, braids, threads, and cords are suitable.

For example: braided belts- they have always accompanied a person since ancient times. Belts were tied over clothing and were required. Weaved belts of linen or woolen threads. The belts were both wide and narrow, simple and ornamented. Used for weaving in different ways.

First you need to cut the threads, their length should be 1.5 - 2 times longer than the finished product. Then we get to work. We arrange the threads in the desired order, tie a knot and attach it to a roller or pillow with a pin.

Our threads are arranged in the following order: light, dark, and so on. Now we take the light thread on the far left, put it on the next to the dark thread and pass it under the next two (light and dark).

Now we do the same on the right side: a light thread on a dark one and under two (light and dark).

All further weaving continues according to the principle: we pass the extreme thread under the next one and put it on the next two. And in the end what happens:

If weaving a little differently: the extreme thread into two adjacent ones from above and below under the next thread; so continue alternately on both sides, it turns out:

The threads for weaving the belt can be used in different colors.

The belt is a small but very important wardrobe item. It is not always possible to choose a belt for clothes. The solution to such a problem can be very simple. If it fits braided belt, then you can weave it from threads, braid, ribbons.

My friend urgently needed a belt. The production time is a day. Belt color - beige-brown. Belt length 1.50 cm.

We measure and cut the threads: "Astra" peach threads in 4 additions, light brown synthetics (bobbin threads No. 80) in 28 additions, "Lilac" brown thread in 4 additions, linen twisted thread in 2 additions. From what was collected assorted. Tied 7 strands into a bundle and braided like a pigtail. I tied knots at the ends of the belt.

Macrame is a technique for weaving various products with threads. With its help, you can make a lot of exclusive and unusual things. For example, a belt made using the macrame technique is perfect for a light youth style. It may seem to you that weaving such a belt is very long and difficult, but having the basic skills of knitting various knots, even a novice craftswoman will cope with this task in a few days. How to knit a simple belt using the macrame technique with your own hands - read on.

Diy macrame belt: materials and tools

Today we will be weaving a relatively simple belt. Its weaving pattern will not combine various techniques, but if you wish, you can independently complement it with large beads.

The color of the threads directly depends on what style your belt is suitable for, if you want to create a romantic look, choose the material of pastel light colors, if you like kezhal, then bright yarn is best suited.

It is better to buy waxed threads for such belts. They are quite strong and not very thin.

Materials and tools for a belt in macrame technique:

  • Nicky of a suitable color (it is better to immediately take a 100 meter skein);
  • Tailor's pins;
  • Scissors;
  • Lighter:
  • Buckle (can be purchased at a craft store or cut from an old belt).

As you can see, you do not need a lot of materials, and therefore it is very profitable to knit a belt with your own hands. Remember that the appearance and durability of your product directly depends on the quality of the threads.

How to knit for a macrame belt rep knots

In order to weave the belt described here, you need to learn how to knit several types of knots. Novice craftswomen first need to practice on a small piece of thread, otherwise it can take a long time to create a neat belt.

Learn to knot using the macrame technique:

  1. Reps knots are vertical and horizontal. They are used in almost all macrame products. In order to tie a number of horizontal rep knots, you need to tie the knots on the working thread with the elements included in the braid as follows: the auxiliary cord is made two turns from bottom to top around the worker, and then the auxiliary cord is passed into the loop formed between these turns and the whole structure is tightened. We knit, in this way, the knots with all the threads that make up the braid. If you weave an element from left to right, then such knots are performed with your left hand, if vice versa, then with your right.
  2. Brida is a collection of reps nodes. To weave this belt, you will need the skill of weaving horizontal and diagonal brides. To position the braid horizontally, you need to knot on a working thread that runs parallel to the buckle. To place a row of knots diagonally, the working thread must run diagonally.

Rep knots are one of the most ancient elements in macrame, they are used in almost all products made using this technique. Before starting work, practice weaving horizontal and diagonal brides.

Macrame belt for beginners: weaving square knots

The square knot has an openwork weave. It consists of a left-handed and right-handed flat assembly. It is carried out as follows: take 4 threads (the 1st and 4th will be workers, and the 2nd and 3rd will be the main ones), pass the 1st thread under the two main threads, then take the 4th thread and, placing it under 1st, put on top of 2nd and 3rd, and thread its free end into the fold of 1 thread.

You can make columns from such nodes, while if the first square knot starts with a left-sided element, then the next one should also start with a left-sided one.

Before proceeding to making the belt, you should pay special attention to the weaving technique of the diagonal and horizontal brid, and also try to tie a chain of square knots. The master class of this belt is selected in such a way that even a beginner can handle the weaving of all its elements.

Macrame belt pattern

A braided belt will make your look more modern and unusual. It will take a little time to make it (from 2 days to a week). When making belts, the threads need to be tightened quite tightly, thus, you will be able to increase the strength and service life of the product.

Master class on making a belt using macrame technique:

  • Cut 7 pieces of thread 4 meters long. On one of the threads, hang the 6 remaining segments, folding each in half, and passing the ends into the resulting loop.
  • Count 7 strands to the left and 7 strands to the right, and pin the middle of the structure to a horizontal or vertical surface.
  • We count the 8th thread from the left and weave a diagonal braid on it with rep knots with all free threads to the left of it.
  • We count the 7th thread from the right and weave a diagonal braid on it with rep knots with all free threads to the right of it.
  • We make one more such row to the left and right sides. You should have a kind of 3-row herringbone.
  • Take the 4 strands in the center of the herringbone and tie them into a square knot.
  • Divide the 4 strands coming out of the square knot in half (you should have 2 strands on the left and 2 on the right). We take 2 left threads and add 2 more threads lying next to them, tie them in a square knot.
  • We do the same operation with the right threads.
  • To weave the third row of square knots, you will need to pull off one strand at the end of the right and left sides. With the next 12 strands, weave a row of 3 square knots.
  • In the next row, take 3 extreme threads to the sides on the left and right sides. From the remaining threads, weave a horizontal structure consisting of 2 square knots.
  • Now remove 5 strands from each side and weave one square knot from the remaining 4 strands in the center.
  • On the first strand on the left side, weave a bridle of 6 rep knots to the right side.
  • Now weave the same braid on the right side, but it should consist of 7 rep knots.
  • Make another row of the left and right braids.
  • Take the 4 center strands and make a column of 2 square knots out of them. You should have 5 loose threads on the right and right sides.
  • Take the left loose threads and tie 4 rep knots on the thread closest to the center to the left. You should have a horizontal brid.
  • Now do the same on the right side.
  • Take the thread on the far right and tie a bridle of 4 rep knots on it to the left end-to-end to the previous row.
  • Take the thread on the far left and tie 4 rep knots to the left side.
  • The next row should be started from 5 threads from the right edge and knots on it to the right side at some distance from the previous row.
  • Tie a braid on the left side in exactly the same way.
  • The next left and right row is knitted in the same way, but close to the previous row.
  • Now tie the left and right straps a short distance from the previous row.
  • Then make another left and right row next to the previous one.
  • Count 7 thread from the left side and tie on it to the left a brid of 6 rep knots.
  • Tie the braid on the right side in the same way.
  • Make another row of brid on each side.
  • Repeat the above steps, starting from the 6th point, until the belt reaches the desired length.

The end of the belt should be equal to the width of the buckle. When the work is finished, the remaining threads need to be set on fire with a soldering iron or lighter and the buckle must be attached. You can buy a belt holder, or you can make it yourself, weaving it with square knots.

Weaving technology of Russian belts 2

Weaving technology of Russian belts

(developed by M. A. Boyko, teacher of children's art school, Moscow)

Belts were made, as a rule, of multi-colored woolen threads, sometimes with the addition of linen (less often silk). Their patterns were very diverse - from simple longitudinal or transverse stripes to beveled geometric motifs made in a branded way (on planks). People's belts were made long, their ends were decorated with lush tassels, trimmed with beads, bugles, and cannon balls.

The colors for the belt were chosen for the most part bright and contrasting, but folk craftswomen were able to avoid excessive variegation at the same time - all multi-color scales obeyed one leading color: red, orange-yellow or another .

An elegant colorful belt served as an addition to the folk costume, both for women and men. Belts were made in different ways.

Belts

Children's work

Weaving "twitching"

The simplest way to make belts and braids is the so-called "tugging" - a kind of weaving, which was used especially often in the Ryazan province. This method is simple and does not require special equipment; children of 7-8 years old can easily cope with this work.

Before you start tugging, you need to prepare the threads - make five loops of the same length out of them, taking into account the fact that the weaving will turn out to be one and a half times shorter than the loops. On one side, the hinges are tightly tied together and attached to some fixed object: a nail, wall, door handle, etc. the middle finger of the other hand (the hands should be turned with the palms towards you, the fingers are slightly bent), the ring finger of the right (or left) hand remains free for work.

We pass the free ring finger into the loops put on the fingers of the other hand, picking up the far loop from the bottom up, and pulling it through the other loops on ourselves, after which it will be put on the ring finger of the other hand. The ring finger of this hand is free for work. Now we will pass this free finger through the loops put on the fingers of the other hand, pick up the far loop and pull it over ourselves - the loop will be on the ring finger of this hand again. Now let's repeat the whole cycle from the beginning. After pulling the next loop, you need to spread both hands to the sides and pull on all the loops to tighten the work. This must be done evenly so that the belt is even - it does not expand or narrow. The pattern is formed by alternating loops of different colors. Having made the desired length, we tie the threads, leaving a few centimeters on the brush.

A round or flatter belt can be woven this way. If the length of the belt or braid should be more than one meter, then two people should work, since the large length of the loops will not allow one person to spread his arms to the required width to tighten the braid. In this case, one actually pulls, and the second helps to tighten the loops. Thus, you can weave a narrow patterned belt from woolen threads of different colors.

Weaving "on a bottle"

Variants of the simplest forms of weaving belts are technologies based on knots and loops. For weaving round belts or braids there is a bottle weaving method. Weaving was most often used in the Russian North, in the Arkhangelsk province. Woolen threads were used for weaving. The pattern was obtained in the form of stripes twisted in a spiral. The preparation of threads with this method consisted in the fact that a certain number of threads (the number of threads depends on the number of strips) twice the length of the future finished product was collected on one side into a bundle and tied into a knot together with the main thread, and on the other - each thread rolled into balls. The end of the needle was inserted into the knot and lowered into the bottle. Weaved around the knitting needles, tying a knot around the main thread with patterned threads.

Plain and twill weaving

There was another method for weaving wider belts, which also did not require additional devices. Threads for weaving were taken from woolen or silk, the pattern was obtained in an oblique cage. The preparation of the threads with this method consisted in the fact that a certain number of threads (depending on the width of the product), one and a half times longer than the future finished product, were collected on one side in a bundle, and on the other left free. It was necessary to attach the tied bundle to a stationary object, for example, to the back of a chair, placing it in front of you. Starting to weave, the threads were distributed in the desired order, dividing into two equal strands. Now you need to separate the extreme thread on the left side and shift it to the middle (i.e. to the left edge of the right strand), forming a plain weave, and then attach it to the right strand.

Then, in the same order, the rightmost thread is laid to the middle and joins to the left strand, and so on.

The pattern is obtained by interweaving colored threads.

The order of weaving of threads can be not only according to the principle of plain weaving - through one thread, but also through two, each time with a shift of one thread, that is, according to the principle of twill weave. Weaving of this type is somewhat more complicated, but with its help you can get an interesting effect, reminiscent of a transverse or longitudinal scar. With the first type of weaving, it is better to take an even number of threads, with the second - an odd one (for better processing of the edges). Another of the options for this weaving is with additional threads that are braided with patterned threads. .

Cloth on planks

Another method of making patterned belts is weaving on small square-shaped thin boards with holes in the corners. Children of different ages can cope with this weaving, but for the younger ones (7-9 years old), the teacher helps to thread the threads into the planks, and older children (12-16 years old) cope with the task on their own.

The threads, tied in a bundle and attached to a stationary object, make their way into the holes of the boards: one thread in each hole (four threads in each board). The number of boards can be different - they determine the width of the product. Usually they take from ten to thirty, and in some cases more. The threads for such weaving are usually woolen, multi-colored, of medium thickness.

When weaving in those places where threads of the same color were cut into the planks, a narrow longitudinal strip of this color will be obtained. In the place where threads of two colors were picked into one plank, you get a motley strip. Then the planks are connected, and the threads are pulled. Before starting weaving, the boards should be installed in pairs, so that two adjacent threads are pulled symmetrically relative to each other. For the weft, use the same thread as in the warp.

When weaving, the threads should be taut. To do this, they are tied to a belt in such a way that about half a meter remains for work, counting from the garter to a stationary object. The planks are folded close to each other so that a throat forms between the threads cut into the upper and lower holes.

A weft thread is laid in this throat and nailed with a finger or a wooden knife on itself. Now the planks are carefully turned all together 90 degrees towards themselves, and a weft thread is inserted into the shed thus obtained and nailed to the first weft thread as tightly as possible. Then the planks turn to themselves again, the next weft thread is laid, pulled up and nailed to the previous one. We repeat the whole process from the beginning. We work in this way until the threads are intertwined so much that it becomes difficult to work. Then we begin to turn the planks in the opposite direction, we lay the weft threads in the same order.

The pattern is formed from the alternation of colored stripes, smooth and variegated. You can come up with various patterns framed by smooth stripes around the edges or make multicolored checkers. You can also make a pattern in the form of a large herringbone in the middle, bordered by smooth and variegated stripes along the edges. Fir-trees are made from the same checkers, but made with a shift of one turn of the board.

There is also a known method of weaving belts and other products with ornamental patterns on planks. Products with such patterns are made on two types of boards: ordinary and with threads of two colors, located diagonally. The edges of the product, as a rule, are made on ordinary boards, with a pattern in a longitudinal strip. The pattern is made of threads of two contrasting colors.

The number of patterned boards is taken, depending on the width of the pattern being performed, one pair for each ledge of the pattern.

At the beginning of work, the pattern boards are installed in such a way that in the upper part of the throat there are threads of both the first and second colors, arranged in the same order as in the pattern in its original position. The transition from one position to another corresponds to one turn of the planks and one plucking of the duck. Simple planks are always rotated in the same way - 90 degrees. The pattern boards are rotated depending on the pattern. Turning a pair of patterned boards together with non-patterned ones by 90 degrees twice (and, accordingly, each time weaving), we thereby leave the first color at the top. But at the next turn by 90 degrees, it should go down, so we look at the drawing: if, according to the pattern, it should go down at the next insertion of the duck, then we rotate this pair of planks, as usual, by 90 degrees. If we see that this color should remain at the top in this place, then we rotate the board 270 degrees so that the desired color is again at the top. And we do this with all pairs of patterned boards, strictly following the pattern. The more pairs of patterned boards, the wider and more complex the pattern that can be done on them. An indispensable condition is only one thing - smooth stripes made on ordinary boards must be placed along the edges of the pattern.

The ornamental motives themselves can be varied. If you wish, you can make a belt or other product with inscriptions, dates, arranging them in a pattern.

Belt. Braiding from cords 3 options.

# 1. Weaving from an even number of cords.

Greetings and present to you a master class on weaving a belt from cords.

This is what the finished belt looks like. The length of the braided part is 72 cm, the width is 1.7 cm, the length of the tails is 30-35 cm. To make it, we need: a tablet with a clip and any cord. I used soutache. For the indicated sizes, a soutache of 4 mm in section was used, 6 cords 180 cm long. In general, this weaving can be made from any even number of cords.


Fold the cords together, measure 30 cm from the edge and tie a knot. We attach the cords to a dense backing.

Now cross the two center cords from right to left.

Then we put the one of the central cords that turned out to be below on top of the cord located immediately to the right of it.

Then we pass the same central cord from the bottom of the next, most rightmost cord. Thus, the cords are crossed all the time in a checkerboard pattern.

Then we do the same with the central cord, which turned out to be on top, only in a different sequence: first, we skip the adjacent one from the left from below.

And then on top of the extreme left.

And now we cross again the central cords, again from right to left.

And we repeat the next step: we put the central cord, which turned out to be below, on top of the adjacent right one, and the central one that was on top, we put the bottom of the adjacent left one. We leave the last cords as they are!
That. two cords on the right, two on the left, and two in the center.

No. 2. Braided belt or bracelet. Weaving pattern of five cords.

Last time we learned how to weave from an even number of cords. Now let's see how to make a similar weaving from an odd number (in this case, from five).

We take five cuts of the cord, fix them with a clip. Let's conditionally number them from one to five from left to right.

Cord # 4 is crossed with cord # 3 from right to left.

Then we put cord # 3 on top of cord # 5.

And we pass the cord No. 4 under the cord No. 2.

And then we pass the cord # 2 under the cord # 5. The cords criss-cross all the time in a checkerboard pattern.

We put the cord No. 4 on top of the cord No. 1

And the last - we pass the cord # 5 under the cord # 1. Thus, 2 cords were on the left, and three on the right. You need to pull them in different directions and pull off the weaving. Then we weave in our arms!

To be continued!

No. 3. Weaving pattern of five cords. Part 2.

We need: a tablet with a clip or a solid support, a decorative or leather cord (in the example, a soutache of 4 mm in section is used).

After we pulled off the weave, this is what you should get. Now we separate the extreme, or upper, right cord, holding the rest with our hands.

And we pass this cord under the middle and above the bottom cords. We shift it to the left hand, tighten it.

We now have three cords on the left and two on the right. Next, we separate the extreme, or upper left cord.

And we pass it under the middle and above the bottom cords. We shift it to the right hand, tighten it.

And so we continue to weave until we get the desired length.

This weaving can be made from any odd number of cords, then the width of the belt will increase. This is what a weave of seven cords looks like.

The braided belt always looks very impressive. It can be worn with jeans or trousers, and if it is very thin, over a blouse or tunic.

It is not difficult to make such a belt with your own hands. We only need a buckle and threads for weaving. The buckle can be taken from an old belt. This is very convenient if the belt is leaky, but it is a pity to throw it away. The old buckle will play in a new way in a beautiful frame!

You can weave a belt from laces, twine, leather ropes, braid, satin ribbons, etc. Choose what you like and what is right for you. Even fabric tightly twisted into bundles will do.

How to make a belt?

We fix our weaving threads at the base of the buckle and start weaving according to the pattern. This simple weaving in the macrame style seems difficult only at first glance. You can secure each end of the cord to keep them from running away from you while weaving. You can come up with weights for them (hairpins, for example), or you can ask someone close to come to the rescue and hold the naughty laces. However, if you know how to weave braids and do hairstyles, you can cope with macrame in no time.

Belts are quite an important element in making a folk rag doll. As in traditional folk costume, this piece of clothing is worth paying attention to. Our master class is primarily designed for the craftswomen of the folk rag doll. Others will also be interested in the weaving options that we offer, for example, for making baubles.

In our article, we will look at how you can weave a belt from threads in three ways and tell you how to decorate the ends of the belt. These belts do not need any accessories, only hands and a small hook, which can be found in every home. The threads for doll belts were taken from us cotton 430m per 100g. Weaving "Heart" and "Birds" are taken from the book of E.I. Osipova and were used to create real belts in Russian folk costume. Of course, for real belts, you need to take thicker threads or use bundles of threads in several folds.

Braided belt "Heart" made of threads.

The "Heart" belt is woven from 6 bundles of threads. It is interesting to take threads of different colors - there is a different thread color for every two bundles. Distribute the thread colors symmetrically around the center. It turns out interestingly if you take 4 threads of the same color and 2 threads of the second color. Gather all the bundles of threads together, tie a knot at the end and fix this knot on some ledge in the house. Start braiding.

See the weaving of the "Heart" belt according to the diagram below. Start weaving the belt from the left side. Draw the extreme first thread under the 2nd and over the 3rd. Further, on the right side, the extreme 6th thread is passed under the 5th and above the 4th and 1st. Further, the course of operations is repeated.

Braided belt "Birds" made of threads.

The "Birdie" belt is also woven from six bundles of threads and looks like a pigtail. The thicker each bun you have, the more voluminous the belt will turn out.

See the weaving of the "Birdie" belt according to the diagram. Skip the first thread on the far left over the 2nd and 3rd. Next, pass the 6th thread on the far right over the 5th, 4th and 1st threads. We repeat the weaving process until the desired belt length.

The colors and threads in the "Birdies" belt can be arranged in different ways: for example, three colors, two threads each, and they are located symmetrically to the center.

Such a belt is obtained if the threads are taken in two different colors (four of one and two of a different color) and placed symmetrically relative to the center.

Such weaving is obtained from two colors of threads, three threads of each color. Arrange threads originally of one color on one side and threads of a different color on the other side.

Twisted belt "Twisted cord" is the simplest one.

The belt for rag dolls is usually made with this particular weave. It is the most common, fastest and simplest. Any thickness can be made. The thicker we want to get the belt, the thicker or more threads we need to take. Nothing limits us in color either. Technologically, this cord consists of two bundles of threads twisted with each other. Tufts can be of the same color of threads or different ones. The final result depends on this.

Take a bunch of threads. Secure one end of it to a ledge or give it to a second person. Keep the thread taut and start twisting it to one side. You need to twist it for a long time.

Continue to keep the thread taut, find the middle and fold the thread over the center. At the same time, align the edges of the bundle.

Let go of the center of the threads and let the cord wind itself. Run your hand several times along the cord, straightening if necessary the irregularities that have arisen. Make a knot on the other side of the cord to keep it from unraveling.

We decorate the ends of the belt for a rag doll.

Of course, you can just leave knots at the ends of the belt and stop there. But traditionally, they tried to decorate the ends of the belt in the national Russian costume richly: with tassels, pom-poms, additional weaving,.

We suggest decorating a belt for a rag doll with a regular brush.

Determine the length of the belt and make knots at each end.

Wind the threads around your hand. Make two identical windings. Each winding on one end of the belt.

Cut the windings, you get two identical threads of thread.

Divide one skeleton in half.

Prepare two more small pieces of string.

We put the first additional piece of thread on the table.

On top of the thread from half of the skein we put perpendicular to the first thread.

I decided to make a detailed description of my experience in the form of a photo-lesson only because on the sites dedicated to this method everything is somehow very superficially written and independently, it is not easy to figure it out. Moreover, on the example of an eyelet with a simple swastika ornament, and not with some incomprehensible pattern.

We will weave a headdress

1. Not everyone will succeed in making 3 mm wooden plates. Sometimes they offer to make them from bank cards or beer cup holders. But I think that this is not the best topic for weaving amulet symbols.

Therefore, I propose a simpler approach to this problem:


Take an ordinary A4 cardboard - cut it into 9 rectangular pieces (7 by 8 cm), laminate the sheet and then cut it into these 9 rectangles. For the convenience of weaving, I advise you to cut the cards as evenly as possible. And so to do just in case (if you ever have to weave a belt) 5-6 sheets, i.e. there will be 45-54 cards. Although it took me 60 cards for the bass strap. I just repeat, first draw, and then laminate. And not as I did: first I laminated, and then I tried to draw on the slippery laminate. Then punch 4 holes with a hole punch, but not in the perimeter of the rectangle, but in the form of a square about 5 by 5 cm. It is advisable to use a sharp punch. so that the inside of the holes in the card is smooth, without lumps. And then slightly blunt the sharp corners of the card. Then, as shown in the photo, number each card with red and black marker. Of course, over time, the corners of the cards get lost, and the laminate leaves a little, but there are enough of them to weave eyes for a large family and friends. And then you can just glue these corners.

2. Threads with less pile are best suited for such weaving. I am using Iris. It is convenient to put balls of thread in plates, and put them on the floor to your left.

3. On the internet, you can see many different special designs for such weaving. But this is probably good for those who do it professionally. I have another way, the essence of which is to get by with what is in almost every home. Vise, desk, clamp, clothespins and 2 hairbrushes. I fasten the front tail in a vice with a comb, and wrap the back tail on a clamp. And weaving does not take place in the air (as in the original), but on the table.

4. Fasten the vise 13-15cm from the edge of the table and clamp the comb well in it.

5. Place card # 1 face up. Now we cut 2 pieces of red threads and 2 of white ones. The length of my table is 1m, and therefore the length of the threads I take is 1m 80cm. Now we thread the threads through the holes of the card: the threads of the color you want to make the background of the headdress (red) are threaded into the front 2 holes, and the threads of the ornament color (white) into the back.

In order for the ochelya's canvas not to be "behavioral" (curved plane), it is necessary to thread all the threads from above into the odd cards, and thread the threads from the bottom of the card into all even ones. Or vice versa. In general, it is important to alternate the pulling method.

6. Here are all the threads on top. Red threads (background) in front, and white (ornament) behind. Now fold the front ends of the 4 strands together and tie into a knot.

8. Here are all the threads drawn from the bottom.

9. Now we fix the second knot in the comb next to the first, and put the second card on the first.

10. And so we do all 19 cards (not forgetting to alternate the way of pulling the threads).

11. Since the centering of all the cards is now slightly higher than the table, it is necessary to put some kind of substrate (2-3cm) under them. In general, after pulling the threads on the clamp, you yourself will determine the height of the backing, which is necessary so that the cards do not dangle in the air.

12. Now on the sides so that the cards are in a horizontal position, surround them with books 1-2 cm away from them, i.e. do not pinch the cards, but simply so that they do not fall.

13. Now fix the clamp on the other edge of the table so that its rod is in the center of the row of knots on the comb. You can just measure it with a centimeter.

14. Since one of the important conditions for high-quality weaving is good tension and the absence of loosening of the threads, it is necessary to comb the entire rear tail well. It is especially good to comb the thread section from the cards and 20-30 cm behind the clamp. Take a comb not thick. Pull firmly, but surely so as not to break the comb.

15. Make 4-5 turns and pinch with clothespins. Remove books from cards.

16. Make such a "chip" from the remaining laminated cardboard and wind the threads on it that you use as the background for the dress, ie. red. It will be a DUCK. In other matters, ducks can be made at any time, and not right now. For example, before threading the cards.

17. Pull the threads with a wire, if necessary, to a width of no more than 22-25 mm. Secure the beginning of the threads with some kind of dice. For example, I have oak dies. In fact, there is no special need for these dies now, but I, for example, like it when the first woven row rests against something.

18. Now place the weft between the top and bottom threads, and tap it with a ruler to the dies.

19. Now we proceed directly to weaving.
To do this, using the GTT program, I created my own program for 19 cards:


I deliberately didn't write 2, 4, etc. ranks because they are done exactly with the previous one, i.e. 2nd as 1st, 4th as 3rd, 6th as 5th, etc.


At the beginning, we have all the cards arranged so that the red numbering is at the top.

20. Turn the 1st and 2nd cards 90 degrees clockwise.

21. Then, from the 3rd to the 11th, we also rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. Then 12 to 14 clockwise. 15 to 17 counterclockwise. And 18 from 19 to the hour.

Small digression:
It is usually customary to make square cards, not rectangular ones. But I prefer rectangular ones. For example, when you are doing some line and you are distracted, for example by the phone or something else, then sitting down at the table again, you immediately see where you left off, since due to the rectangular shape of the cards, you can see which ones are horizontal and which ones are vertical.

22. First, we knit the weave with our fingers.

23. Then we squeeze with a ruler. We remove the ruler.

24. Then we lay the weft between the upper and lower threads, again we take the ruler, we press the weft with it, and we do not pull it too much, i.e. all the way and no more. It is necessary to pull the ducks with the same force throughout the weaving of the headdress so that the width of the headdress is the same, and does not narrow or expand in different places. Well, this experience will come with time.

25. Now we make the second line, i.e. we repeat exactly all the flips of the cards of the first line. And after that, we also knock out the palms with our fingers - a ruler - we lay the ducks, pressing it with a ruler.

26. Now all the cards are in horizontal position again, but with black numbering at the top.

27. Next, we do the 3rd line:
from 1 to 8 we turn counterclockwise, from 9 to 11 clockwise, 12-14 counterclockwise, 15-17 clockwise, and 18-19 counterclockwise. Well, then, as before: we knock it out with our fingers - with a ruler - we lay the weft - we stretch it and squeeze it with a ruler. And then we make the 4th line, i.e. we repeat the 3rd. And don't forget to lay the ducks.

28. And this is how we do it up to the 12th line (which, I remind, is a repetition of the 11th).

29. Here we went through the entire program for the first time and got the first rotifer. When we got down to the first line, we had all the cards with red numbering on top and ducks to the right of the eyelet. Now, before executing the program a second time, we should again have the red numbering at the top and the ducks on the right. In general, sometimes check the color of the numbering of all the cards. Before performing the 1st, 5th, 9th lines, all cards must be red numbering at the top. And before the 3rd, 7th and 11th - black. If any card has the wrong color on top, then you made a mistake. Therefore, we must urgently return, i.e. unravel and find the place of the error. And unraveling is not easy, i.e. it is necessary to go from the place where you stopped and turn over all the cards back to the direction indicated. In general, unraveling and discovering a mistake without experience is, as a rule, a thriller, where Alien is resting. Often, when untangling, the student gets confused again, and as a result, he takes scissors and shreds everything. And generally throws this creativity. Therefore, I advise you to be very careful. At first, I don't even recommend listening to music. it can distract.

30. In general, in this way, we make 6-7 kolovrat, i.e. in fact, we go through the entire program 6-7 times. Due to the increase in the length of the woven section, the tension force of the threads increases, and each new rotor turns out to be slightly longer than the previous one. But this is not scary, because after the ochelya is soaked in water, it will “sit down” and all the rotifers will be leveled.

31. We furnish (as before, 1-2 cm from the cards) with books on the cards.

32. We untie the tail from the clamp. Naturally, after weaving, the tail is intertwined. Therefore, separating the group of threads from each card from the rest of the bundle, we unweave it.

33. We move the cards together with the backing and books closer to the vice. We release the comb. And we clamp part of the woven section in a vice between the wooden dies.

34. Then, pulling the back tail of the threads with your left hand, with your right hand move the backing with cards and books away from the vice, i.e. to its original place (middle of the table).

35. Now, as before, we begin to carefully comb the tail of the threads, and above all the area from the cards and up to 20-30 cm behind the clamp. And again we wind it on a clamp, and fasten the tail with clothespins. We remove the books. We squeeze the ruler that weakened in the process of rearranging the wefts. And then we make another 6-7 rosters.

36. And in this way it is necessary to make the desired length of the eyelet. What is the right one? Measure the circumference of your head, and add 9-10 cm. This is necessary because after washing, the weaving "shrinks" somewhere by 4-5 cm and plus 4-5 cm in the whip. For an "average" head length, about 27-28 rotifers are needed.
