Baubles made of thread for beginners: a simple pigtail pattern
For work, you need long threads of 3 colors, in our case it is contrasting blue, yellow and blue. Weave them on the finger in the middle. You get a loop that needs to be fixed with tape on the table. Then we decompose the threads symmetrically in color. We wrap the leftmost thread in the center of weaving, similarly do the extreme right. We connect them together, and continue the action with a yellow thread, then with a blue one. Weaving the bracelet to the desired length, we will tie the ends together, we will extend a large wooden bead, we will again tie it in a knot.
How to make a bauble from a thread of a complex pattern?
When the first bracelet is successfully gossiped, you can try to create a classic friendship bracelet. This is the same “Pigtail”, but with different knots, of which there are 3 varieties. We will not wrap the threads to the center, but to bind together.
As the material we use 5 shades of mouline thread: white, soft pink, dark pink, red and burgundy. We twist the threads in half, glue the loop to the work surface. We lay out the threads symmetrically. The first node is doing so. We put the leftmost thread on the next one, braid it and tighten the loop. If you want to increase the slope of the picture, at this stage we make 2 loops. Then we do the same actions with the next one, only now the warp thread will become working with respect to the next one. The right nodes differ from the left in the opposite direction. Reaching the middle of the weave, tie the halves with a simple knot.
You can complete the bracelet by tying knots at the edges, and thread the remaining ends into a large bead.
