DIY jewelry from ribbons: master classes
Making an elegant bracelet
The following materials will be required:
- tape;
- elastic;
- a pencil;
- beads (diameter 10 mm);
- the needle.
Assembly
First, calculate the number of beads you need for the bracelet. We advise you to divide the length of the wrist by the diameter of the beads. So, let's get to work. We take the tape and step back from the edge of 20 centimeters. Mark with a pencil. There remains a “tail”, which we will need at the end of the work. We will pre-set the marks at equal distances from the wrong side so that the loops between the beads are the same. In our example, this distance will be 15 millimeters. So, we put all the tags, it's time to start assembling the bracelet. We start from the front side. We string a bead on a needle with an elastic band and make a loop from the tape. Do not forget to "walk" the needle at an equal distance. We continue. Again we make a loop and string a bead. We assemble the bracelet according to the following sequence: eyelet - bead and so on. When the length of the decoration reaches the desired, proceed to the fitting. If the bracelet fits in size, then we tie the ends of the elastic and the “ponytails” of the ribbon with a bow. The bracelet is ready. In the same way, you can do DIY jewelry with your own hands.
Making hair clips
The following materials will be required:
- satin tape;
- thread floss ;
- tape from organza;
- button;
- silicone lace;
- lighter;
- the needle is ordinary;
- gypsy needle ;
- base (hairpin);
- scissors;
- glue;
- glue gun;
- tweezers.
Assembly
We take a piece of satin ribbon (5 centimeters wide) and with scissors cut three parts of 6 centimeters. We should get the same rectangles, of which we make three ovals, not equal in size. So that the products do not mess up, we burn their edges with a lighter flame. Then with tweezers we take each oval and with a flame we distort them to make petals. Next, you need to add the figures from larger to smaller. For now, put them aside. Take a ribbon of organza with a width of 3 centimeters and a length of 15 centimeters and burn the edges. Take a needle and make a basting thread. Pull the thread and collect the "accordion" tape. Lock the thread to this position. We sew the ovals and on top we impose a part of organza and apply a button. We pass the silicone lace into a gypsy needle and sew it all together. We take a glue gun and connect our base and the resulting flower. The hairpin is ready.
