Survival bracelet
Departure out of town, into nature - a pleasant occupation, but not always safe. Therefore, going to a hike, tourists stock up with all kinds of equipment. And of course, you will need a skein of rope. With it, you can dry your wet clothes, fix damaged equipment, and if you get a deep wound, you can use it in the form of a tourniquet and much more. A special rope bracelet for tourists is a multifunctional accessory that can perform all the above steps. In a woven form, it looks originally on a man’s hand, but when it is needed, the bracelet weaves in a few seconds in one motion, forming a strong cord about 5 meters long. You can weave the necessary items into the bracelet, such as a knife, fishing hooks, a whistle, a name tag.
Bracelet weaving
Prepare a 5 m long cord (a clothesline is suitable for training), a lighter, a clasp, and scissors. Cord the ends of the cord with a lighter to prevent them from opening. Fold the rope in half and loop through one loop fastener. Loop the ends of the cord and tighten.
To make a bracelet made of ropes to your size, measure your wrist and form two loops equal to the volume of your hand. Lift the ends of the cord up to the clasp. To fix the length of the measured loops, wrap all the threads with the left end of the cord, and then pass under the right loop. Lay the opposite end of the rope under the first, then stretch over the loop and under the second loop, leading it from the bottom up to the hole formed on the left side. Tighten the resulting part of the assembly.
Then pull the right end of the rope between the loops from bottom to top. Put the left part on the cord and stretch it under the first loop, leading the end over the second, and lead it into the hole formed by the right end from top to bottom. The assembly can be tightened gently. Note that in the first half of the knot, the ends of the rope will look up, and in the second - down. We pass the remaining small loops into the fastener, solder the two ends of the rope so that they do not open. We learned how to make a bracelet from a rope with our own hands.
Simple weaving
Consider how to weave an original bracelet for a female hand. Beads will be woven into this jewelry. Therefore, pick up a few identical decorative ornaments that you liked. The main thing is that the number of beads is enough for your hand volume. We will also need glue, fastener elements, thread and clothesline of any color. To determine the length of the bracelet, wrap the wrist with a cord twice and add another 15-20 cm. Fold the rope in half, forming a loop, tie a thin thread to this place. Insert the middle of the cord into the carabiner and coat the area with glue. Then wrap one end of the rope with colored thread and put on a bead, then repeat with the other side of the rope, again threading the thread into the next bead. Continue work, knitting to the required length.
Thus, the middle of the bracelet will consist of beads arranged one after another. Finish the work by fastening the thread on the rope and gluing it to the second half of the carabiner.
