Of course, an inexperienced master cannot complete objects that are difficult to implement. However, for them there are many things easier to manufacture. Due to the availability of material and ease of execution, you can get a beautiful and useful craft as soon as possible. For example, a bright and unusual wallet. We will tell you how to make it yourself.

Machine tool wallet weaving

This option is the most common.

Materials and Tools

In order to weave a wallet on the machine, the following materials and tools will be required.

  • Special machine for weaving.
  • Hook. In the manufacturing process, gum is removed with its help.
  • The gum itself. They can be taken in one color, or in several contrasting shades. Then the finished product will be more vivid.

Completing of the work

After everything you need is prepared, you can start weaving. It is performed on the two extreme columns of the machine as follows.

  • First you need to place diagonally several rows of "eights".
  • Having reached the edges, the machine needs to be turned over and another row made.
  • Two more rows are vertically laid and locked on the extreme posts of the machine.
  • The lowest layer must be raised and two new layers parallel to each other should be placed .
  • In the same way, raising the bottom row and adding two new ones, the product is gradually woven.
  • Repeat the procedure until it reaches the desired size.
  • When the desired size is obtained, it is necessary to remove one row of bound elastic bands from the column.

    After this, weaving can continue, on the one hand. So it turns out a valve for a wallet;

  • When the valve is ready, it is necessary to weave along the edge of the top row in the form of a chain.
  • A button must be attached to the finished product.

You can use a slightly different way. Here the erasers are not given the shape of eights. It is enough to fold them in half and place them on the machine on opposite columns so that the letter “X ” is obtained . Further, the weaving procedure is completely similar to the above.

Weave a wallet without a machine

If there is no special machine available, but you want to have an unusual wallet, then you can use the usual crochet hook.

Step-by-step weaving instruction

  • Three loops are formed on the hook.

TIP . For a denser weaving, it is necessary to make a link consisting of a pair of elastic bands. Then pass them through the third and return to the hook.

  • Continue weaving until the required length is obtained.
  • Through the third loop from the hook, two rubber bands are again woven. Thus, four loops are obtained on the hook.
  • The resulting loops must be interconnected using two rubber bands.
  • Again weave two elastic bands and completely repeat the procedure until the bottom of the future wallet is obtained.
  • The valve also weaves in the same way.
  • If necessary, a button hole can be placed on the valve.
  • Knitting must be finished with a knot.
  • If desired, the finished product can be decorated.

For weaving with a hook, it is advisable to take an option made of metal.

Having spent quite a bit of time and showing imagination, you can get the original product. Good weaving!
