At least to learn how to createwith your own hands beautiful jewelry for yourself and your friends or relatives. Thanks to beaded bracelets, which are easy to make at home and add original jewelry to your arsenal of jewelry that matches your wardrobe.
First, let's figure out what beads are.Beads are small decorative elements in the form of beads, which are made from completely different materials, such as glass, plastic, bone, ceramics and even semi-precious stones. Inside each bead there is a hole through which you can thread a thread, fishing line or wire.
This type of applied art is full ofa variety of all kinds of beading techniques and patterns. Any experienced or just a beginner craftswoman will be able to choose for herself a pattern of a product of varying complexity that she likes. Sometimes, seeing a beautiful stylish bracelet on a woman's hand, it is impossible to recognize a product made by hand. Therefore, you should definitely try your hand at this type of needlework and learn how to create wonderful jewelry or souvenirs yourself. And now it is worth seeing a wonderful flower bracelet, which can be made according to a pattern, choosing those shades of beads that will suit you, say, for a certain summer outfit. Here is a pattern for this bracelet:
If you do it according to the same scheme, but replacethe shape and tone of the beads can produce something very original. For example, in this case, the beads were chosen in silver color, and the bracelet turned from a summer version into a winter version. In this photo, you can see that the flowers in it are more reminiscent of snowflakes or stars.
So, just by replacing the material, butusing the same bead weaving pattern, you can get two completely different products. This is the magic of beading. The following bracelet is made using metallic beads and all sorts of metal figures.
These can be pendants, belt elements orearrings, and possibly some other details. In its finished form, it resembles an ornament in the style of Indian tribes, for example, the Aztecs. It looks very original and unusual and can worthily decorate a certain outfit.It won't be difficult to make.An openwork figure-eight chain is woven from beads, of the length you need (Fig. a). Then you need to make an under-weave to this chain (Fig. b). Unlike the pattern in the bracelet that we see in the photo, the under-weaving is done two through two, so that the pendants are evenly distributed along the entire length of this bracelet. It will be more convenient to hang the pendants on the bracelet during the under-weaving. When the bracelet is ready, we attach a clasp for jewelry. Thus, we see that working with a material such as beads, we have enormous opportunities for self-expression and the manifestation of our creative ideas and plans in practice. Do not waste your free time if you can spend it on making such uniquely beautiful products.
