Finger Weaving Basics
The material from which bracelets are made is not expensive in cost and has a wide range of different colors.
There are various devices for weaving: special slingshots, hooks and machines. They come in a special set for creating jewelry. Here we look at the working method on the fingers.
Chain
This jewelry can be made in many ways. The simplest is the chain technique . After familiarizing yourself with the basic scheme, you can make different patterns.
- We twist the elastic in the form of a figure eight and pierce it on the middle and index fingers.
- Do not twist the second. Pull it next to the first.
- Passing the second to the first, remove it from your fingers.
- Until the required length is obtained, we continue these steps.
Other types of weaving
- "Caterpillar";
- "Rain";
- "Dragon Scales";
- "Double braid";
- “Feather” (voluminous);
- "Grid", etc.
Before creating a full-fledged jewelry, you should familiarize yourself with the work algorithms. You can take three one-color elastic bands or all of different colors.
Advice! For the first time, it is better to take a material of different colors in order to understand how weaving occurs and color combinations are formed.
How to weave a bracelet on fingers
Having learned the basic methods, you can move on to complex products. Various elements (stones, beads, etc.) can be woven into them at will. And you can also decorate a simple bracelet woven using the Chain technique.
Components can be selected according to your style and mood. If you are making a gift to a friend, then you can take into account her preferences.
Weaving technique "Fish tail"
This technique is very popular. For this solution, we take the rings of the preferred color, a metal or plastic hook, a clip of any color and type.
- Two rings are put on two fingers (for example, middle and index or middle and ring, so that it is convenient to do). The first two should be twisted by an eight . Using the hook from the right finger to the center, we drop the lowest gum. We repeat the same action with the left side.
- On top we put on one more ringlet. With the help of the hook we drop the bottom gum into the center and perform the same action for the left side.
- According to this algorithm, we continue to weave the bracelet to the desired length. At your discretion, you can change the color.
- After reaching the required length, one gum should remain on the arm. From the left to the right finger we move our gum. Through the remaining gum rings we pass the clip. We pierce the other end of the clip onto the loop of the very first gum. Our bracelet is ready!
Weaving technique "Double pigtail"
- Take two gum and twist them with a figure eight. We put one of them on the index and middle fingers, the other on the middle and ring fingers.
- On this basis, we begin weaving. In the same sequence we put on two more elastic bands without twisting.
- From the first row, remove the side loops.
- A double loop remains on the middle finger, which is also removed later. The result is the first loop of the future bracelet.
- Next, double weaving begins, sequentially making small loops and removing them.
- At the end of weaving, a knot is made. To do this, transfer the side loops to the middle finger, which we separate for a double loop. We remove it and fix the knot. We connect the ends with clips or with the help of another elastic band.
You can come up with different types of bracelets, combining various weaving methods. For convenience, you can purchase whole sets for weaving, in which there are also models of jewelry. Please yourself and friends with unique handmade jewelry with love.
