Advice:

When measuring threads for a bracelet, you need to follow the 1:4 algorithm; the length of the components should be 4 times longer than the finished product.

Legend

For any method, schematic images are the basis for weaving a bauble. There are several common symbols that appear in each figure:

  • Letters. The order of the threads is indicated by Latin characters or Cyrillic, and each element is indicated by its own letter.
  • Numbers. They are located vertically in the figure, indicating the serial number of the row.
  • Mugs. This is how the nodules are designated. The color of the circle corresponds to the thread that is leading in tying the element.
  • Straight arrows. Symbols indicate direction. They will tell you in which direction this thread needs to be thrown.
  • Angular arrows. The upper part will determine the left-right direction. We look at the segment, determine the direction, and then tie a knot in the same way.

A selection of master classes

Mastery in the art of weaving baubles is determined by the ability to work with a large number of components. Experienced craftsmen know how to weave threads into patterns using up to 10 threads at a time.

For beginners, it is better to start with a smaller amount, for example, using 6 threads. Even a beginner can weave a beautiful bauble using the oblique method.

For the work you will need beautiful threads; colors are chosen according to the taste of the needlewoman. We start the process by securing the threads on the work surface, it can be a pillow, a tablet, a board with a stationery pin.

We weave a zigzag

This master class will help you create an unusual decoration with a zigzag textured pattern.

Weaving algorithm:

  • We select 5 colored threads. Each length is at least 1 meter. We collect it in a bun, tie it at the end with a knot, and secure it to the work surface.
  • We lay out the individual components and make sure that the order in the first strand strictly corresponds to the order in the second strand.
  • We begin to knit a combination of elements. First we connect the two threads on the right. Then with the next component we make two knots to the right.
  • We are already knitting three knots in the same direction. Let's gradually connect all the components. This results in nine multi-colored stripes.
  • In a similar way, we alternately connect all the threads with knots, but moving in the opposite direction.

We repeat the entire algorithm until the end of weaving, obtaining a bright zigzag pattern.

Classic pattern

The combination of black, white, red in a laconic design is an unchanging classic of style. If desired, you can use any other colors, but the weaving algorithm remains unchanged:

A simple version of the bauble braid
  1. Take 6 threads, 2 of each color. The length of the components is at least 1 meter.

The classic braid is the basis of oblique weaving. It is with this that it is recommended to begin your acquaintance with the art of creating baubles from threads.

  1. We tie all the threads into a knot, braiding it. Next, we knit a knot, connecting the outer threads of the same color. We make two knots on each thread.
  2. Without letting go of the outer thread, we tie knots, connecting it and each other component in turn.
  3. Let's take the next thread, but of a different color, doing the same work.
  4. We complete the combination by tying knots with a thread of the third color.

We continue the entire weaving cycle, at the end we tie all the strands again with a classic braid. Once you get the hang of knitting knots one color at a time, you can add a few more colors.

Elegant bracelet

Handmade jewelry is always beautiful, original and exclusive.

We offer a master class on creating an elegant floss bauble for special occasions. The algorithm is as follows:

  • We select 6 threads of three different shades. Each length is at least 2 meters. Fold them in half, tie them at the end and secure. We arrange it in such a way that 4 threads of each color follow each other in order.
  • We alternately tie the outermost thread on the right with the rest from the same color scheme. We repeat the maneuver, but with those components that are located on the left.
  • We will tie the two central parts with a simple double knot, and then we will connect the remaining two with the adjacent ones.
  • Let's tie the two central parts into a knot again. And on the right and left we will repeat the maneuver, connecting each other alternately.
  • Separately, we intertwine the two central threads with adjacent strands so as to form an English letter V.

By repeating the combinations until the end of the product, we will end up with an unusually delicate and elegant pattern.

 Weaving bracelets is a fun activity
Fenichka is always a wonderful gift

Everyone has at least once encountered a person wearing a bauble. This small wicker bracelet is a symbol of friendship and peace, and it is not without reason that it has a foreign name “Friendship bracelet”. The history of this simple but stylish decoration began among the Indians of North America, who gave ropes woven in a special way to their friends. It was believed that the longer the bauble is kept on the hand, the stronger the friendship between people. Not torn, but to be independently removed from the hand, symbolized the end of friendly relations, and was one of the most powerful insults. The secret of how to weave baubles from threads was passed down from century to century, until in the early 60s of the last century these bracelets became one of the symbols of hippies and spread throughout the world.

In addition to friendship between people, baubles symbolize a person’s interests and passions. For those who know how to read the secrets of the threads of these cute bracelets, they will reveal a lot about their owners. The picture or pattern depicted and the color of the threads are both important. A widely known example is that if a guy and a girl have the same or very similar baubles on their hands, then these young people are a couple.

Gradually, the original meaning of exchanging baubles was lost, but they did not lose their popularity. These bracelets are a universal decoration and therefore now they can be seen not only on representatives of the hippie subculture or the hands of little needlewomen, but also on secular fashionistas and fashionistas. Baubles made from floss always add brightness and special color to an image.

The easiest way is to push the finished thread onto the wrong side of the product, leaving enough thread to later tie a knot.

We apply a thread of the same color to the tear site from the wrong side

And then we tie this thread with standard two knots.

From the wrong side, we tie the ended thread with the one that was just inserted.

The junction of the threads is hidden, and weaving can continue further.

Next, you should put six more beads of the desired color on the thread on one side and thread the second end of the thread into the same beads, but from the last one put on to the first. Thus, you will get two rows of the future bauble. The remaining rows are woven in a similar manner in accordance with the selected bauble pattern.

New Year's baubles can be decorated with a Christmas tree, toys, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, mistletoe or sleighs, candles or deer. The imagination must certainly awaken at the right moment, and you can try to find weaving patterns on the Internet. And then, it won’t be difficult to weave New Year’s baubles.
