The hippie movement gave us such decoration asbeaded baubles. These are bracelets assembled on a thread, elastic vein or simple fishing line. In addition to round small beads of different colors, various additions are also used: glass beads, large decorative beads made of different materials. The decoration can be flat or three-dimensional; the color scheme is limited only by the imagination of the needlewoman. Beaded baubles with names are very popular - they are a cute gift for a sister or friend. You can use various materials to weave friendship bracelets: ribbons, rubber bands and
, even scraps of leather can be useful. Therefore, do not rush to get rid of unused materials.
Learning how to make them is not difficult; skilled needlewomen often share their experience in the form of photos of finished works, or short videos on the topic “How to weave baubles from beads.”
Weaving beaded baubles, in most cases, is done using two techniques:

Weaving "in a cross";
Weaving on the machine.

In the first case, the seeds of the beads are placed inStaggered order, in the edge of the finished baubles will be serrated. In the second case, the beads are laid in even parallel rows. The advantage of weaving in a cross - bracelet can be increased in width, simply by adding one more row. How to perform the process of expansion, you can see on the photo or in the training video.

Simple beaded bracelet

It will take:

Clasp and two clock rings;
3 veins of a line 60 cm long;
Beads (plain or color).

Fold the veins in half and fasten the loop toClockwork ring. For each type of seed beads, for a length of 25-30 cm. The veins must be divided into three strands and weave the usual pigtail from them. The ends are fixed and carefully fixed on the second winding ring. The last thing is that the fastening rings are joined by fasteners.

Weaving bracelets from beads in the way "in a cross"

This method is suitable for beginners. To weave a simple bauber from the beads you will need:

beads;
Line or lavsan yarn for weaving;
Two needles for beads;
Set of ready-made fasteners for jewelry;
scheme.

To begin with, we measure the circumference of the wrist, it will beBasic measure. We measure the piece of fishing line, 100 cm long, we put the ends into needles, with their help we will weave a bead of beads. On the needle thread a half of the fastener. Needles with a fishing line, we pass through one bead or a beautiful bead. Next, for each needle string on one grain of beads. To form the first cross, in one bead we enter the first needle from right to left, and the second from left to right, and tightly draw to the beginning of the baubles. Again, we dial by bead on both needles, and third we fix the cross. Repeat these two steps until the length of the product is equal to our measurement plus a couple of centimeters - to freedom of clinging. The bracelet on the arm should lie loosely, not at all.

The width of one finished chain depends on the size of the beads and will be approximately 5 mm. If you want to add width to the product, then you need to weave several such chains and connect them.

A wide beaded bauble can be woven in rotating rows, but you will have to work with long pieces of thread. You will need to look at diagrams or videos showing how to do this.
If you use an elastic thread for the bracelet, you can do without a clasp.
Number of beads strung each timecan be increased. If you collect 5-6 pieces and fasten 3-4, you will get a “ring” chain. To form triangular openings, you need to weave a bauble, combining beads and glass beads:

Twisted bead of beads

To the canvas of the bracelet was not straight, but curved,As a snake, you should type on one needle more beads. You need to do this alternately - once to the left, right to the right. A volumetric snake will be obtained if the weaving is performed in a circle, in the form of a round cord. This work requires a certain skill, therefore, first look through the step-by-step photos of the execution scheme. For beginners, you can try a simpler option - to sew a straw in a tube from a bead.

Baubles with names and names of cities

To make such an original decoration is a little more difficult, because you will have to follow the circuit closely.
Baubles with names or names of cities ormemorable places can be woven with crosses, but for beginners, it will be more convenient on the machine. What to do if you don’t have a device, but buying it in a store is expensive? You can do it yourself or ask your husband, after arming him with a training video. To begin with, the simplest replacement can be made from a flat box or book and a piece of tape, as in the photo. We wind a number of thread turns on the book equal to the number of beads in the transverse row of the bauble, and secure the ends of the threads with tape. To make it more convenient to weave, you can put something under the coils.

We thread the needle and tie it tothe first turn of the warp. We string several beads and distribute them under the warp threads, so that each one is between the turns. Then we pass the needle through the beads again, but already above the warp threads. Before you start forming the letters of the name, you need to go through several rows of beads of the background color to create a border. The word on the bauble should be placed in the center.
When weaving on a machine, each new row of beads,you need to move them tightly towards the previous ones so that no gaps form. It’s good if you have the opportunity to weave from high-quality material with even grain. In packages of inexpensive beads, grains that are different in size or deformed are often found. Uneven beads can cause distortions when weaving a bauble. You should also pay attention to the width of the holes - the needle and thread should pass freely.

After the letters are completely laid out, you need tomake a border on the other side of the bracelet. The finished work is removed from the machine so that the ends of the threads can be beautifully decorated. A simple option is to tie the threads with a regular double knot and then braid them. You can also fold several strands, collect beads on them, and tuck the ends into a special clip or end for jewelry.

When weaving, you need to carefully monitor the location of the colors on the finished pattern.
For weaving on a machine, beaded baubles withnames, you can make diagrams yourself. It won't be difficult, even for beginners. All you need is a pen or pencil and a piece of paper from a squared notebook. Each cell is a bead. We paint over the cells and make a pattern.

A little trick If you do not want to do schemesManually, try to draw a diagram of the baubles from the beads in the program for creating embroideries. It is free to download, in addition, there are many instructions for its installation and use. With its help, even intricate letters, it will be easy to embody on a woven baubles of beads. The advantage of a self-created scheme is that you can draw an unusual author font (italics, etc.). Interesting ideas can be found in the photo of the finished works.
The space near the letters can be decorated with additional patterns, colors or symbols.
The machine can be used to weave not only bracelets with names, but also with complex geometric or floral patterns. Counted cross stitch patterns are often used as patterns.
