Baubles made of threads very often cause associations with hippies or some other informal movements. But today, these lovely and beautiful little things have become very popular among ordinary people. Handmade beads and bracelets are original and interesting jewelry that every person can safely wear every day.
What does the bauble of threads symbolize?
Baubles made of thread traditionally played the role of an unusual and memorable gift from relatives and friends. Due to the fact that such wicker jewelry as baubles were chosen by hippies, for many people they lost their original meaning. Now this value has returned to them again. Baubles made of thread in Western society are usually called Friendship Bracelets. Translated from English, this means "friendship bracelets."
Therefore, very often homemade baubles are presented as a gift as a sign of sincere friendship, affection or love to their relatives, as well as to people whose communication they value. It has become a custom that the person who gives it is obliged to tie this bracelet on the hand of his girlfriend or boyfriend. Then the gift will constantly remind you of a friend, and who knows, maybe he will make your personal life happy.
How to weave baubles from floss thread?
Baubles made of threads can be simply and very easily created at home. To learn this interesting skill, only a couple of hours is enough - and then patience and efforts will be rewarded. Of course, in order to make these original and multi-colored bracelets, scissors and threads will be required. Ideally, not very thick
floss threads. Also rummage in the lockers and find a safety pin, pillow and centimeter. Do not take many colors of floss thread at once. You are only learning. For the first time, limit yourself to just three colors. Then, with the improvement of the skill level, you can increase their number. The length of the thread should be about four times longer than the planned size of the finished product. According to the experience of other people, about 100-120 centimeters is enough. Before starting work, all threads must be fixed by bandaging them with a weak knot near the ends. You can pin this knot to the pillow.
Now we describe the process itself ...
After you have prepared everything, the threads must be carefully straightened. You can get to work. In order for you not to be very bored, you can turn on soft music. The weaving process is not so complicated. It is as follows. First, we take one thread of the mouline thread and carefully knot it with a knot on the adjacent thread. It turned out that the threads changed places a bit. Next you need to continue in the same way to the very edge. The result should be a diagonal strip of knots of floss thread of one of the selected colors. But pay attention to the next step. The last should be a thread of a different color, with which you need to do the same as with the first. The operation of tying knots should continue until the bracelet reaches the desired length. Unused thread ends can be braided.
In a festive atmosphere, this bauble, made with love, can be tied to the hand of your loved one or friend.
