Baubles are called bracelets, often made by hand. Such a product is a
symbol of friendship or love, and usually one person passes it to another as a sign of his feelings. And then the lucky one who was handed the bauble should wear it until it flies off or breaks itself. If the jewelry is specially removed, it is believed that feelings have already disappeared. In the special macramé technique, they are often weaved from floss, but there are also unusual options, for example from wire. The woven bauble of ribbons looks original.
The person who weaves such an accessory usually puts a part of himself in it, and the one who receives the bracelet should appreciate it.
Today, people often forget about the symbolism of homemade gifts and simply use them as a decoration, complementing their images with such an element. Some believe that this is primarily due to the fact that a bauble from tapes is woven very simply, and it takes only a couple of hours to make it. And even more so, you will be sure that you will not see exactly the same accessories on other people. Each such craft is unique.
A bauble made of ribbons can be made using oblique or direct weaving technique. The classic pattern is weaving “strip”, it can also be woven as an oblique or direct way.
However, if you decide to weave bracelets from satin ribbons, we advise you to think about colors and shades, as they have their own symbolism. For example, white means freedom, purity; blue - peace, tranquility; green - nature, harmony; red is passion, love. And you can also take into account the fact that the combination of two colors also carries its own meaning. For example, combining red and white tones, you can declare eternal or free love; yellow and red - about
crazy love; and red and green are, of course, a
love of nature.Previously, baubles were mainly common among hippies, but today you can often see satin ribbon bracelets on ordinary people. Moreover, they are so versatile that they are worn not only by girls, but also by boys. The main thing is to choose a model that will fit your image.
Below is one of the ways in which a bauble can be woven from ribbons. For this, you will need two ribbon colors. In our case, these are lime and orange shades. So let's get started:
- to start, tie a knot, be sure to leave a small tail;
- then make two small loops;
- then thread the light green eyelet in orange;
- and do not tighten the orange ribbon very tightly;
- then make the orange loop again;
- and pass it into the light green;
- after that tighten the light green ribbon;
- create a light green loop;
- pull it into an orange loop;
- and tighten the orange ribbon;
- Follow the algorithm, alternating colors until you reach the required length.
You can also experiment with the degree of tightening of the ribbons, for example, by making a narrower or, conversely, more voluminous accessory.
As a result, you will get an original bauble made of ribbons, which can easily be combined with summer sundresses, jeans and nowadays fashionable ethnic style.
