Weave
– it’s quite a fascinating process.But, having woven something simple, you always want to try to create something more complex. Therefore, now we offer you to study the master class, which will contain a detailed description of the entire process of weaving a bright three-color butterfly. In order to weave such a beauty, you will need to have with you:

  • Black, yellow and orange silicone rubber bands;
  • hook;
  • slingshot.

We begin the master class on weaving. It is most convenient to begin the weaving with the creation of a pair of upper butterfly wings, since this detail is the largest. Take in the hands of a slingshot and attach to it orange rubber bands - 2 pcs. Then wrap 4 times around the hook 1 orange. Remove the previously made part from the right side of the slingshot.





Drag the workpiece from the hook to the center of thisdetails. Put on 2 more rubber bands. Transfer the previously woven detail to the center of the rubber bands you just put on. Lower the workpiece a little lower and put on 2 more orange rubber bands on top.


Move the bottom layer to the center of the weave,consisting of 2 parts. Now we move the loops from the left ledge to the right one. We pull two freely hanging loops onto an empty column. We put on 2 more rubber bands. And then we move the lower pair of rubber bands from the left column to the middle of the weaving.




We put 2 orange ones on top.And we throw the central layer to the middle. From the right column we move 2 loops to another ledge. We put on an elastic band on top. And carefully drag the remaining loops onto it.


We transfer the loop from the column that is located withleft side, to the one on the right. The first part of the tutorial is complete. We have formed one wing, and now we proceed to making the first half of the body. To do this, you first need to throw on 2 black elements. Then wind 1 black elastic band in four circles and transfer it to the previously made blank. As a result, you should have the same bow.





After this we put on 2 more pieces.We move the lower loops to the center. From the left column we throw the parts to the right one. Now the first upper wing of the butterfly, as well as part of its body are nearby. Next we will weave the second upper wing according to the same pattern.


Now let's move on to the next stage of the step-by-step masterclass, during which we will need to weave small lower wings. To do this, attach 2 yellow rubber bands to the slingshot, wrap 1 piece around the hook 4 times and move this twisted workpiece to the center of the slingshot. In other words, do the same as described in points 19, 20. Put on 2 more pieces. Move the bottom layer to the center of the weaving.



We move the workpiece to the column located withleft side. We proceed to the formation of the lower part of the body. To do this, first we weave a black blank similar to a bow. Then we transfer the upper two loops from the right ledge to the left. We weave the second yellow wing. It is performed according to the same pattern as the first, so at this stage of the master class you should not have any difficulties!


We put 1 black rubber band on the slingshot. We move the previously woven blanks onto it one by one. We throw the loop from the right protrusion to the left one. Carefully remove the lower part.
We remove the woven butterfly from the machine and hide it.loop in her body. The summer beauty is almost ready, but in order for it to be as similar to the original as possible, it is necessary to form antennae. To make them, insert the hook into the upper black loops, as shown in the photo.


Take 1 black and pull it through all the loops on the hook. Form a knot. Cut the resulting loop in the middle.

At this point, the step-by-step master class with a detailed description of all actions can be considered complete. The beautiful butterfly is ready to decorate indoor flowers, a hairpin, a pendant or a bracelet!
