Fenichka is an indispensable accessory not only for modern youth, but also for their parents. It is a bracelet made of beads, woven from threads of floss, leather or ribbons.
History of occurrence
The history of this type of jewelry originates from the Indians, in whom the bauble was a kind of symbol of friendship or a sign of gratitude. In the Indian tribes, there was a tradition of wearing such a bracelet until its grinding. If someone previously removed the accessory, then this indicated a break in friendship. And even the Indians could show their sympathy to any person with the help of a bauble.
Schemes for beginners today simply flooded the Internet, all kinds of books and periodicals. Today, baubles have become an invariable attribute of the followers of various subcultures, from loving hippies to gentle emo.
Often people, seeing in their hands young people original, graceful and even elegant products from beads, weaving from threads or leather, think about where they can be purchased. However, many of them do not suspect that you can create an unusual and unique bracelet with your own hands. Weave a bright accessory on your own - which can be easier if you have a scheme for weaving baubles for beginners. They can be developed independently - so you get the opportunity to have a truly unique and unique decoration.
An algorithm for creating patterns for weaving baubles
Today, in the age of computer globalization, some types of creativity have been much simplified in connection with the creation of software with which you can create schematic masterpieces for further implementation in baubles, bracelets and other jewelry. Now you don’t need to embroider or weave bracelets according to your grandmother’s pictures or old newspaper clippings. Any scheme for baubles can be created with your own hands.
For this purpose, you should first take a regular notebook paper in a cell or graph paper, determine the length of the future product and its width. For the first samples, do not draw the diagram too wide. A width of 10-15 cells will be sufficient. Then, using multi-colored pencils or felt-tip pens, it is necessary to depict on the sheet a schematically desired image. If the first time fails, then do not despair. You can redraw patterns designed for cross-stitching borders in the form of an ornament.
Since you are learning to create a simple diagram, it will consist of repeating elements. Therefore, there is no need to depict the bracelet on paper in full length. It is enough to draw a chain of several repeating elements and approximately calculate how many times they will be repeated in the product. As the bracelet weaves, it will be possible to finally determine its length. This is the beauty of baubles from repeating elements - the accuracy of the calculations is not important, since the length can be any.
Using charting software
A bauble scheme can also be created using computer programs, for example, using CorelDRAW (vector graphics editor) or regular Paint (graphics editor). The computer offers many opportunities for unlimited flight of fantasy for lovers and true creators. These programs allow us to diversify with ornaments, add names and inscriptions, and make such products as baubles brighter and more colorful. Schemes for beginners in the form of flags of different countries, with rock motifs, emblems of your favorite cars or sports teams, and much more can be created using specially designed software designed to draw and create embroideries, for example, PCStitch or CorelDRAW. Using them is quite simple, you just need to find the picture you like and put a grid on it in the program. And then choose what colors from the palette your picture will be painted, depending on your individual preferences.
We draw the circuit with the name
Today a bauble is not just a fashion accessory, but also a peculiar business card. Add your own name to the bauble scheme and get a creative opportunity to declare yourself. Also, a bracelet with a name will be a wonderful, and most importantly, an extraordinary gift for your girlfriend or boyfriend. The advantage of weaving with a name is its comparative simplicity due to the fact that it is difficult to get confused in the pattern. A small number of threads used also plays into the hands of a beginner.
First, you need to schematically depict your name in cells on paper, depending on the desired width of the bracelet. It must be borne in mind that each cell is a bead in the case of weaving from beads, or a thread in the case of weaving from floss.
To determine the number of threads required, count the number of resulting cells vertically. For example, take the name "Alexander". We write each letter in a printed font on a sheet in a cell, and then we count how many cells have turned out vertically. The resulting number will be equal to the required number of threads for weaving a bracelet with the name "Alexander". For example, we got 5 cells. Therefore, for the base of the bracelet you need to take 5 threads 50 cm long and one skein to create the background. The warp threads are your name, so choose a color according to your individual preference.
Now we can start weaving. In order for the name to be in the middle of the bracelet, you need to weave a certain number of background rows, depending on how many cells the name will take in length, and grasp the arm. Weaving is better to use direct, with the use of knots.
Where does any weaving begin
To create unique bracelets, you first need to choose a scheme for a bauble or create it yourself, decide on the shape of the product (volumetric or flat), with the presence or absence of a pattern. It depends on what material the product will be made of, whether it will be equipped with additional decorative elements, and what its color scheme will be.
And finally, do not forget that a jewelry made with love and bearing a semantic load is much more valuable than store analogues. After all, baubles are a kind of symbol of sympathy and friendship, which cannot be changed, sold, but can only be given with an open soul.
