Weaving of gum products
Before you start, you should prepare:
- Weaving machine;
- Hook to grasp the rubber;
- White gum - 38 pcs .;
- Black - 2 pcs.
Converting always associates a white color,But, if you want to depart from the usual classical tones, you can take any other. Turn the machine to its columns, and push the center row forward one column.
Let's move on to throwing on the rubber bands. To make the casting dense, it's better to take two of them. For greater effect, some craftswomen use neon ones that glow in the dark.
The first pairs are placed from the middle columnright, left and down. Then from each top pin down put on a pair of rubber bands. Continue this further and on the middle row use five posts, on the sides - four.
They make a rounding.One end of the rubber band pair is put on the left and right pins respectively. The other end is put on the central one. They meet on this post. The result is a finished figure resembling a polyhedron. The next pair needs to be twisted in three and put on the last central post that was used.
They make handles for the ghost.Wind one rubber band onto the hook four times, then take the second one, folded in half. Pull it through the wound ball on the hook. Place the ball in the middle of the paired rubber band. Fold it in half and put it on the leftmost pin. The ball should remain on the outer edge. Do the same for the right side.
To secure the ghost's body, make a trianglein the middle of the polyhedron. Now it remains to weave the eyes. Two black rubber bands are wound on the hook in turn. You need to make four turns and pull one white one through two black balls. Then this construction is placed on the side pins (second from the top) and on the middle one. You get a small triangle, which will allow you to secure the eyes well.
They continue to weave the ghost.The bottom row is hooked, pulled through the layer of elastic bands and secured to the post from which it was initially put on. Each pair is done in this way. Attention is required here to secure them correctly to the desired post.
At the very top of the figure, a knot is tiedwith a hook. Now you can remove the ghost from the machine. It turns out to be unusually cute and funny. If you need to decorate a bag or backpack, then the loop is lengthened and attached to the desired place.
The entire manufacturing process can be seen on video.
