Simple crafts for all
Any schoolchild with great desire and patiencedifferent methods of weaving jewelry on a loom, fork, slingshot, fingers are possible. The essence of this creativity lies in the sequential arrangement (stretching) of rubber bands on the tool and their gradual fixation (removal) with a hook. At first, "clumsy", uneven products may turn out, but then the craftsman begins to understand how to remove, stretch or correct loops.
By the way, many children's kits offer simplemethods of making crafts using connecting fasteners. The instructions are accompanied by step-by-step photos, so they are understandable even without a video. It is enough to twist several rubber bands into small loops, connect them with some kind of fastener. Girls decorate jewelry with beads, figured buttons, connecting them with a crochet hook. The rubber band is pulled through the bead, the loop is tightened, knitted with the rest of the elements, and a beautiful bracelet is obtained.
In addition to decorations, you can make accessories:keychains, phone bags, belts, wallets. The weaving pattern is the same: braid the loom with the base, then gird all the posts with rubber bands, remove the lower loops to the top of the product. Put the rubber bands back on, and then remove the lower loops. So, row by row, the fabric or volume of the product is increased. If you need dense work, use a crochet hook or increase the number of loops.

The machine, turn to him so that the top is at the top, and the exposed parts of the studs are turned to you. Now, step by step, follow the mouse weaving. For the convenience of gum a certain color will be denoted by initial capital letters (CR - black rezinochka, KR - red, MP - milk, JR - yellow, BR - white); number - p .; carnations on the machine - the Civil Code.
Take 4ЧР.Put 1ЧР on the left side on the top of the loom and 1ГК of the 1st row. Do the same with the 2-йЧР to the right of the top (3rd row). Now pull the next ЧР of the 1st row onto 1-2ГК, that is, the third elastic band lies on top of the first. Also weave 3rd row. You will get a black house.
Take 7MP. Pull in 1, 3 rows. 1MP on 2-3GC.In the 2nd row from the top, put 3 MP alternately on 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 GC. Then make a top from 1 MP, capturing the last GC of the 1st, 3rd row and the top of the 2nd row. You will get a hexagon. Take 1 MP, 10 KR, 3 BR. Then in the 2nd row from the top, put 1 MP on 4-5 GC. The base of the face is complete.
Proceed to the dress. In 2p.with 5ГК form the top from 2КР, as you did ЧР (step 2, 3). Next, from each point of the top, put on 1КР in all rows. In each row, pull BR and КР. You will get the same pattern: red-white-red. Now in the 2nd row, put on another 2КР on 8-9, 9-10ГК. Take 6ЧР and 8ЖР for the craft to weave the legs, boots.
In 1, 3 rows pull 3CH (9-10, 10-11, 11-12GK).Twist 1ЖР four times on the hook, throw it onto 2ЖР. Put this part on 12-13ГК of the first row. Wrap the outer nail with 1ЖР. Now repeat steps 18-20 for 3row. Take 3КР, 1Бр. Twist КР twice in turn, put it on the 9th, 8th, 7thГК of all rows of the loom in a triangle. Do the same with BR for 6thГК of three rows.
Take 3BR, 4CHR, 2KR (these will be the hands of the craft).Twist 1BR onto the hook four times, place it on 2BR. Next, dial a chain of 3 loops: 2ЧР-2ЧР-2КР. Repeat steps 25-27 to tie the second hand.
Put your hands on 5-eGK 1, 3r.Take 12KR to weave the hem of the dress. Use a crochet hook to make a chain of 3 pairs of KR. Pull this piece (for the first and last loop) onto 7-8GK 1 row. Repeat step 31-32 for row 3 with the second piece of the hem.

The whole basis of the craft is ready.Close the loops from the boots. Use a hook to pull out the bottom loop, moving the twisted elastic band aside, and pull it over the previous one (where it was pulled).
