In all centuries, not only the female part of the population of our planet tried to decorate themselves with the help of improvised items. At first, these were simple tattoos and drawings on the body, a little later the person realized that objects can be attached to the body. This turned out to be convenient, because if necessary, they could be quickly removed or exchanged for another decoration. So there were moving decorations. Even then, our ancestors knew how to make a bracelet with their own hands. Such jewelry was often worn only in the most solemn occasions. Since then, a lot of water has flowed, but the shape of the jewelry has not changed: hoops, rings, necklaces, bracelets, jewelry have changed only in the manufacturing technology and in the materials from which these products are currently made. As before, such jewelry is worn on the fingers, hands, neck, lower back, ankles, etc.
But the first jewelry in the history of mankind was made from the teeth of dead animals, tufts of grass, snake skin, tusks and horns, shells of ostrich eggs. They played a very important role in human life, because then they were already considered amulets. According to the beliefs of primitive people, such jewelry was supposed to protect against illness, give courage and courage. When the free space on the human body for moving jewelry ran out, he moved on to what is now called piercing. Holes in the lips, cheeks, nose, ears, teeth, and also in other parts of the body served to insert earrings, rings, sticks, rings, feathers, flowers. Everything that, according to the primitive man, could decorate him or somehow distinguish him from his fellow tribesmen, or tell about his merits.
A little later, with the advent of primitive religious beliefs, this kind of jewelry acquired magical significance, and anyone who knew how to make a bracelet with their own hands, and had the right to wear such jewelry in their community, could easily build a distinction for themselves. Some accessories could only be worn by the leaders of the tribe, or shamans, or members of the community who had a certain religious rank.
If a primitive lady could spend many years decorating her belt with tens of thousands of shells, a modern woman in five minutes can make bracelets made of fabric with her own hands, and look in them no less spectacularly than the very founder of this technique from the distant past in his belt of shells. Indeed, in order for the annoying old plastic or metal bracelet to gain a second life, you just need to put glue on it and wrap it with a long strip of colored fabric. If you know how to make a bracelet with your own hands, you can assume that you will be provided with exclusive jewelry, because no one can repeat the originality of your idea and bring it to life.
If in ancient times people used what nature gives them and knew how to make a bracelet with their own hands from corals, pearls, and even (oh, my God!) From the lower jaw of a person, then in our time technologies and materials, fortunately, became simpler, but jewelry did not lose its relevance, and modern fashion trends gave them a new impetus.
This season, large jewelry, colored beads and bracelets made of various materials have become very popular. Cut mugs of the same size from bright fabric, quilting around the circumference with a thread, pull it a little and fill with syntepon or cotton wool each resulting ball. This will be your beads, the “tails” of which will be on the inside of the bracelet. They need to be threaded, alternating with plastic beads that match the color, and your exclusive bracelet is ready.
In addition to fabrics for the manufacture of do-it-yourself bracelets, wire, plastic and even bright magazine covers can be used.
