Bracelets are a great addition to any look, but you don’t always need to go shopping and look for a suitable option. Make the bracelet you need with your own hands! There are many materials from which these jewelry are made, and every day new ideas and ways to implement them appear. All that remains is to find the best option and move forward. One of the most common ways to create bracelets is thread weaving.

In this article we will talk about bracelets that are woven from threads, beads and other decorative elements. First of all, it is worth considering the method of weaving baubles; they are usually made from floss threads, which are also widely used in embroidery.

How to make a bracelet from floss threads

Here is one of the simplest methods for those who are just starting to master this type of needlework. To work you will need:

• Floss threads in two colors that you prefer.
• Pillow and pin. They are needed to record the work.
• Scissors.

Take a thread of one color and cut 4 threads of 60 cm each from it, do the same with a thread of a different shade. There will be 8 threads in total. Now arrange them, alternating colors. Step back 8 cm from the beginning and tie a knot. Take a pin and thread it through the knot, and then fasten it to the pillow. It is best to hold the pillow between your knees. This way you will fix the threads. But you can choose a method that is more convenient for you. For example, a board and a stationery clip.

We begin to weave a bracelet from the left red thread. Wrap it around the next white thread and pull it to the very top so that a knot comes out. Repeat the whole process in exactly the same way and with the same threads, you should always make two knots. Another important point - try to tighten all the knots equally, otherwise the work will not be very smooth.

The same red thread is tied around the 2nd and 3rd threads, the whole process is the same as with the 1st. As a result, the red thread should be the 4th in the middle.

Now we leave this thread and switch to a thread of the same color, only the one on the far right. We do everything the same, only the work will go from right to left.

When your right red thread is in the center, the first row is complete. Proceed with the second one. Here the whole process is exactly the same, only the leading threads on the left and right will be blue. At the end they will also be in the center. Don't forget that you need to tie two knots each time.

Now let's form a heart. To do this, take the second thread on the left and tie it around the first red thread on the left.

We go to the other side and tie the first red thread with the second blue thread on the right.

Now, from the left, take the second thread, red, and move it to the middle, making knots on the 3rd and 4th threads. Do the same on the right.

Again, take the second thread on the left and tie the first thread, and do the same on the right. After the blue thread, second from the left, we tie the 3rd and 4th to the middle, and do the same on the right.

When the bauble reaches the desired length, tie the threads in a knot and cut off the excess threads. That's it, the bracelet is ready, and you have learned how to weave simple baubles from threads.

In order to weave bracelets from threads, you need not only patience and perseverance, but also patterns, the varieties of which are huge; below are the most popular of them. And also methods of weaving such bracelets.

Wish bracelets

As children, many of us had wishing bracelets on a red thread. Each of the knots symbolized one wish made. Now, oddly enough, such jewelry can be found more and more often, and not only among children.

This tradition is believed to have its roots in Israel. They believe that such decoration is protection from evil and also gives a person strength. The Slavs believed that such a thread on the hand protects from the evil eye and cures some diseases. But in India, a red thread on the hand means related love, in the sense that with the help of this bracelet you can become related to a person close to your heart. Also, a bracelet of wishes in the form of a red thread is present in such teachings as Kabbalah.

It is believed that a thread of this color is tied on the wrist or ankle in order to give a person strength and protect him from evil. It’s up to you to decide which hand to wear such a decoration on, but there are some definitions for the left and right hands in this case. If you wear such a thread on your left hand, then it is believed that a person protects himself from negative influences, evil, the evil eye and damage. If you wear a bracelet on your right wrist, then in this way you can attract good luck and wealth.

Now you know not only how to make a bracelet from threads with your own hands, but also about what such a talisman as a wish bracelet can bring into our lives. And below you will find a video that describes in detail the weaving of several types of baubles.

Any representative of the fair sex knows that everything is important in a woman’s image - from underwear to accessories. Therefore, many ladies spend a huge amount of time visiting stores. There they look for lipstick to match the shoes, a handbag to match the color of the hat and bracelets to match the color of the dress. It often happens that it is not possible to find a truly suitable accessory.

Knitted bracelet

This happens if a woman chooses an unusual color for her outfit. In this case, you can make the accessory yourself. Recently, a knitted bracelet has become an increasingly popular accessory.

At first glance, it may seem that making it will be a difficult task, because you need to be able to knit various patterns, but this is far from the case.

A knitted bracelet can be made in one evening if you have all the necessary tools and materials.

Materials

You can knit a bracelet using knitting needles or crocheting threads. The tools should be small in size so that you can make a delicate bracelet. Knitting needles and a hook of sizes 2,3 and 4 are suitable. The yarn for making the bracelet should be cotton. Wool bracelets will be appropriate for health purposes. In case of dislocation, it is enough to wear such jewelry and the arm will heal in less than a day.

A knitted bracelet can be made multi-colored or plain. You can knit beads as decorations.

Progress

1. We make the preparation.
2. We knit the product.
3. We decorate the bracelet.

Making a blank

To make this product, we will need a cardboard piece from adhesive tape or toilet paper if the needlewoman has thin hands or this is a children's bracelet. Cut the circle to the desired width. Now it needs to be made waterproof. To do this, the cardboard can be tied with tape or painted with varnish. The second method is more preferable, because the varnish will preserve the cardboard more reliably. This way you can use varnish that is not needed.

We knit the product

As soon as the varnish has dried, you can start knitting the product using thread knitting needles. We collect air loops. There should be enough of them to tie our bracelet and not pull the thread. We knit regular single crochets around the entire circumference. Try not to pull the thread too tightly. We knit with thread knitting needles a circle according to the size of the workpiece.

Then we knit another one of the same kind, only we pull the thread tighter. This will be the inside of our decoration. We connect the two parts together around the workpiece. Crochet it. Here you can use a thread of a different color, then you will get an edging.

Now you need to knit the decoration of the product

Take a thread of a different color and knit a separate pattern. Here you can use all your imagination and skills. You can connect the pattern with flowers, or with geometric shapes. You can immediately attach the pattern with stripes to the model, as shown in the picture. You can use two colors or several. If the pattern is knitted separately using thread knitting needles, then it must be sewn on with a needle and thread of the color from which the decoration was made.

It is worth saying that even a novice needlewoman can make such a model with knitting needles from threads. You can involve your child in making jewelry. Knitting with threads will teach him perseverance and instill in him a love of needlework.

Making such a hand decoration with knitting needles from threads is a very profitable activity. The materials for the bracelet cost just a penny, but the result is a real work of art. This type of jewelry can be worn to work, on a visit or to an exhibition. It will look great with an evening dress or a summer suit with shorts. You can make many such bracelets to suit every type of wardrobe. They can always be disbanded and remade if they are no longer needed.

It’s also worth paying attention to the fact that this decoration can easily be washed either by hand or in a washing machine. It is important to follow a washing cycle suitable for this type of thread.

Remaking the bracelet

This type of jewelry can not only be made from scratch, you can remake an existing bracelet. If you have a chain decoration at home that has long gone out of fashion, then you can give it a new look. You will need a hook size 2.5. To begin, knit a thread on one side of the chain and start knitting in a simple single crochet manner. Pull the thread from the other end of the chain. Now knit another row with single crochets.

From the next row, knit the loops together with the chain elements. Once you reach the end, knit two rows with regular single crochets. The ends of the knitting must be secured to the last loop of the chain. Fasten the thread. To knit such a decoration on your hand, it is important to choose the right thread: it should not be too thin, otherwise the bracelet will look ugly, but it should not be too thick, otherwise the chain will not be visible and the whole meaning of the decoration will be lost.

Don't forget to make a clasp if necessary. It can be removed from another unnecessary decoration.

Today we suggest making you fashionable bracelets with your own hands.

Thread bracelets have become mega popular today. This bracelet is worn not one at a time, but in rows of several copies. On your hands, such bracelets look very stylish and fashionable. Well, today we propose to make such a bracelet with your own hands. Look at the photos and videos, choose the bracelet you like and start learning.

Weaving bracelets

How to make a bracelet from threads

You will need: floss or lacing threads, large beads, scissors and a button.

Measure the required number of threads so that we get a piece that, folded in half, will be equal to: 1st side 66 cm, 2nd 48 cm. Then we fold it in half (see photo). You should end up with 3 identical threads and 1 short one.

At the very top, retreating about 1.5 cm, we make a knot. Cut off the short 4th thread.

Start weaving. We braid 2.5 cm and thread the beads into the left strand.

Again, left-empty-right. This is what you should get.

We weave along our wrist. At the end we also simply weave about 2.5 cm (as at the beginning). Let's make a knot.

We thread a button through one end, two threads into each hole. We tie a knot.

Cut off the excess threads. We made such a beautiful bracelet from threads and beads with our own hands.

Oh, here's what they look like in different colors.

And on the hand. Very stylish. Is not it?

Macrame bracelet

To weave a bracelet in macrame style you need: 3.5 m of thin colored lacing, a flat ring, an embroidery needle, scissors, and tape.

Cut the lacing into sections: 2 x 70 cm, 2 x 50 cm and one 25 cm. Fold the 50 cm piece in half and pull out the loop on the ring. Also repeat on the other side of the ring (see photo).

We take a 70 cm piece, fold it in half and make an air loop, wrapping it around our 50 cm piece. We throw the left side of the 70 cm cut over the right and thread it inward as shown in the figure on the right.

Pull it all the way and push the resulting knot tightly, all the way to the top.

Now we make an air loop on the other side. This time we throw the right side on top.

Make a tight knot again. Continue weaving macrame: left, right, left, right, etc., until you reach the desired wrist length.

Upon completion of weaving, insert the needle in turn from one side and the other and pull through 2-3 knots as shown in the photo.

Trim off any excess threads.

Now take the remaining 25 cm piece and pass it through the outer strands on both sides, tie it as shown in the photo.

We begin to weave macrame as in the beginning: left, right, left, etc.

Having made 5-6 rows, we also sew them up using a needle.

We make knots on both sides and cut off. If the last steps seem difficult for you, you can simply weave macrame around the entire perimeter of the bracelet.

Your original macrame bracelet is ready.

DIY bracelet with beads

For such a bracelet with beads you need: a leather cord, colored lacing, beads connected together, a nut.

Fold the leather cord in half to create a loop that is just the right size for the nut as it will be the fastener. Start wrapping the leather cord with colored lacing (6-7 times).

Lay the beads along the cord and continue to wrap the lace around each bead.

Continue wrapping, measuring the length around your wrist.

At the end, make another 5-6 loops and tie a knot with leather lacing, wrapping it around the loops.

Thread the nut and make a knot again, securing it.

Cut off any excess threads.

You can make a whole bunch of these simple bracelets.

On the hands they look very beautiful and modern.

How to make a friendship bracelet

Another mega popular bracelet is the friendship bracelet, which is woven from colored floss threads.

These are exactly what you will need.

Take a pair of 6 colored threads. We tie them into a knot, leaving an extra 5 cm. For the convenience of weaving the bracelet, we secure its upper part with tape.

As in the picture: we tie together the 2 outer threads: red and orange.

Pull up and to the right to tighten tightly. Important: make double knots! Now do the same with each color (i.e. red with all the colors until it is the outermost one on the other side).

Repeat the same with opposite threads.

When both red threads are in the middle, tie them and pull them to the bottom (also twice).

Repeat weaving until the end. We get an adorable rainbow friendship bracelet. You can braid it at the end.

Look, they are our beautiful ones)))

Isn't it lovely?

Weaving bracelets from threads and chains

All you need is colored threads, a thick bracelet chain, scissors, and bobby pins.

We divide the threads by color into two thick strands. We grab them with bobby pins and begin to pass them through the chain links.

We pass the first strand and put it under the other. We also draw the second strand and, again, let it down.

We repeat the steps until the end and get a chic wicker bracelet.

O-o-very stylish)))

The red thread is a strong and powerful amulet for a person. It scares away negative energy, giving place to positivity and goodness. A person of any religion and beliefs, any age and gender can wear a red thread. The main thing in the effectiveness of this amulet is faith in its power.

A red thread on the wrist is the strongest amulet that will protect a person from the evil eye and attract good luck, luck and prosperity to him. It all depends on where you took the red thread and which hand you tied it on: right or left. Also of great importance is the reading of prayers while tying knots and the very fact of who exactly is tying the thread for you.

To be completely confident in the holiness of your red thread amulet, you need to know that the thread must be made of natural material: wool, silk, cotton or linen. It is best, of course, if the thread is wool. This thread has its own special effect on a person. It has been scientifically proven that wool can increase blood circulation by touching the human skin.

The fact is that a thin layer of animal fat remains on the surface, which is gently and gradually, and most importantly, very easily absorbed into human skin. This lipid layer causes blood to circulate in the capillaries more actively than it stimulates all blood circulation.

In addition, the color red has always had a special power in any culture and among any people. It was believed that it scared away evil spirits and attracted benefits, as well as money. Tying a red thread originated from the Jews in Kabbalah. There it is customary to tie a red thread on the left hand to protect oneself from damage, and on the right hand to attract good luck.

Most modern pop and cinema stars wear this amulet in order to at least somehow be able to protect themselves from envious people and their unkind eyes. Each person is quite capable of testing the effect of this amulet on himself individually, the main thing is to believe in the power of his amulet and a happy destiny.

Order red thread from Israel

The red thread, ordered straight from Israel, the birthplace of Kabbalah and the Holy Land, is considered the strongest and most precious. It is easier to buy red thread in Jerusalem than to buy drinking water. It is sold in every souvenir shop, specialty store and right under the Western Wall, a famous landmark.

Of course, you can buy such a thread yourself, ask your friends to bring it, but if you have neither this nor that opportunity, just order a red thread for your hand directly from Israel through the website. This is such a popular thing that many online stores have established direct supply of the amulet without deception and at an affordable price.

Protecting its owner from damage and the evil eye is not the only duty of the thread. It continues to protect a person from encountering or having anything to do with a bad person. Its strength lies in the fact that such an original (that is, real) thread undergoes a special divine ritual in the tomb of Rachel, the ancestor of the Jewish race and all humanity.

The ritual consists of wrapping a red thread around Rachel's tomb and that is why it is called sacred and contains secret power. This thread can be worn for recovery, for savings and even for the fulfillment of wishes. Each thread comes with tying instructions, which should be performed by a close and kind person, as well as a special Jewish prayer.

red thread from Israel

Several rules for tying and wearing red thread from Israel:

• Kabbalah dictates wearing a red thread on the left hand, since this religion believes that everything negative enters a person from the left side. To protect yourself from the evil eye, wear a thread on your left wrist
• The effect of the red thread as a talisman comes into force immediately after you ask to tie it on your wrist
• The person who wishes you happiness and sincerely loves you must tie a red thread on your wrist. The thread must be tied with seven knots
• Don’t be upset if your thread bursts, breaks, or stretches out and becomes shapeless. Most likely this happened because a large burst of energy was made on you and the amulet worked on time. If the thread breaks, just tie a new one.
• A red thread can be tied on a child’s hand - this is necessary in order to protect him from envious and bad looks, especially if your child is talented, handsome and smart
• You should not get hung up on the fact that you are not a Kabbalist or a Jew. The red thread is a world amulet and it will in no way harm you, but will only protect you from evil

The red thread is a universal amulet that can simultaneously be a powerful protection and a beautiful attribute on your hand. The main thing is to try not to reveal your secret to anyone, because every amulet is a secret and as long as it is only yours, you attract only positive energy.

Very often the red thread is decorated with some kind of pendant or bead. What is it for? The answer is very simple: to enhance protection and give meaning to your amulet. It is not uncommon for a red thread to be hung on a hand to fulfill a wish, and some pendants can only strengthen and speed up its fulfillment.

A specially chosen pendant should have not only aesthetic, but also personal meaning, strength and energy.

Often, in addition to the red thread, “lucky” amulets are hung: a clover leaf for good luck, a cross, a hamsa (a hand is a talisman of Jewish significance), a charm bead with a pattern, silver or gold pendants with numbers or letters. You can order such a pendant or a ready-made bracelet in almost every jewelry store. This amulet decoration has an attractive appearance and beautiful execution.

• If you have a situation where there is simply no one to tie the thread, do it yourself. Such a talisman will not be strong enough, but it will also have a charge of positive energy

DIY red thread on a child's wrist

Probably many people noticed the red thread tied to the child’s left arm. It doesn’t matter at all at what age a person acquires this amulet. If his mother ties him, this is the strongest protection from everything negative, because his mother is the most loving person in the world who wants goodness and well-being.

If a child stands out in some way, has good abilities, is handsome and smart, talented and successful, he must have such a talisman, since he is surrounded by a very large number of envious children and their parents.

Since then, as soon as a person figured out to wrap his body in animal skin, bracelets began to appear. At first, like belts, they had a purely pragmatic task: they supported clothing. Then the clothes became more and more elegant, sleeves appeared, and the bracelets on the wrists changed their meaning. They still supported the clothes and became more and more beautiful. Men wore leather and steel guards to protect their wrists. Girls and women preferred silver and gold. Poor people, who were the majority, tied up their sleeves with leather straps or thread bracelets. The color and pattern on the bracelets, like a heraldic coat of arms, indicated that a person belonged to a certain clan - tribe. This is from the depths from which thread bracelets came into our century. In those days, every girl knew how to make a bracelet from threads with her own hands. Now this art has come back into fashion, and beauties are happy to wear bracelets on their wrists.

Thread decorations

They are worn by young girls and very little girls.

The pattern depends only on the imagination of the needlewomen:

Weaving bracelets from threads is an activity for those who are patient and attentive. Usually in any home there are several skeins of multi-colored threads. But thin, ordinary threads make faded, impractical jewelry. In addition, it is difficult to work with them.

For those who have decided to take up weaving for the first time, it is better to start with cords or thick threads.

To avoid confusion, you need to choose two colors. In addition to threads, you will need some kind of fastener to secure the workpiece: a stationery clip, a pin, tape. And, of course, scissors. Both threads are folded in half and a knot is tied, leaving a loop. The loop is attached to the surface and the weaving process begins. How to weave is shown in the diagrams:

Variety of colors and patterns

Needlewomen prefer floss to all other threads. Before purchasing, you should ask what threads are on sale. Spatula threads are fragile; for bracelets you need to use cotton or silk. The good thing about floss threads is that you can choose the thickness of the strand you need for your work. Iris threads are best suited. They are thicker than the others, ribbed and the decoration looks more beautiful. The wide range of colors provides a huge scope for patterns on floss bracelets. Floss threads make the highest quality items.

As a rule, floss threads do not fade, but you still need to check. To do this, a strand of thread is moistened in hot water and applied to a white cloth. If there is no color stain left on the fabric, you can start working, otherwise, when wearing the bracelet, unsightly stains will remain on the skin.

Schemes for those who have already mastered the weaving technique:

The most common among young people is the wish bracelet. As you know, color has its own properties, and when choosing, you need to take this into account.

1. Red – from damage and the evil eye;
2. Light green – harmony, protects love;
3. Dark green extinguishes quarrels;
4. Pink – tenderness and love;
5. Orange – sunlight, helps to find friends;
6. Blue – intuition, insight;
7. Purple – protection from harm, creativity;
8. White – spiritual purity;
9. Yellow - training;
