Master-class weaving from rubber bands will teach how to make your own hands of rubber bands shoes for dolls - slippers.
We are all used to the fact that clothes and shoes for dollssew or knit, but it can also be woven from regular latex rubber bands! This activity is no less exciting and interesting. In addition, it takes a little time. It turns out best to weave shoes, so we will make slippers for the doll.
To weave such slippers we will need:
- Rubber bands;
- hook;
- machine;
First, we will form a chain of 12 loops.white rubber bands. You can take any color you like. If you want the slippers to be larger, then we collect a longer chain. You can simply apply the chain to the doll's leg and see how many more rubber bands you need to weave.
For marking, put a clip on the 3rd loop from the top. And insert the hook into it. This will be the beginning of the row. If there is no clip, you can use an elastic band of any other color.
We pull 1 rubber band through it, throw the 2nd part on the hook. Now we pull the 1st rubber band through all the rubber bands. Do not tighten the knot too much.
We continue to weave until the end, inserting the hook into each loop in turn.
You need to weave through the last loop twice.So we knit in a circle until the sole reaches the required size. Each time we knit through the last loop twice. We change the clip when we knit through the loop marked with it.
Now we will weave the slipper itself, souse red. Or any other color you like. But in this row we will knit not through the loop, but through the transverse elastic bands. They are located on the side of the loops.
And we knit the next red row through the loops, asusually. We knit 3 - 4 such rows. It depends on the desired height of the slipper. Now we count 12 loops on both sides and mark the loops with an elastic band of a different color. If your slipper is larger, then we count so that there is the same number of loops on both sides.
These rubber bands should be located exactly opposite each other.friend. You can fold the slipper in half and it will be easier to see. We return to the beginning of the row and knit in the usual way with red elastic bands to the 1st mark. Here from the marked loop to the 2nd marked loop we knit with a decrease. That is, not in a loop, but in 2. We insert the hook into the inner part of 1 loop (half-loop) and immediately into the inner part of the 2nd loop. And only now we knit 1 elastic band. We connect 2 half-loops with 1 elastic band. After the 2nd mark we knit again without decreases. So we knit another 1 row.
Now let's determine the location for the strap.Pass 1 rubber band through the loop and form a chain of 10 rubber bands twisted in half. For beauty, you can alternate the rubber bands by color. We collect the chain until it reaches the desired length.
Now let's make a flower to decorate the slippers.To do this, you need to take a loom. We will weave on 2 rows, so the bottom row needs to be removed. We will stretch the rubber bands on 3 pins of the top row, turning them in a figure eight. We do the same on the bottom row.
Next, we'll stretch 2 rubber bands over all 6 pins. Now, with a hook, we'll drop 2 lower rubber bands into the center of the weave.
Next we put 1 pink one on all 6 pinselastic band and discard 1 lower elastic band. Throw another pink elastic band onto 6 pins and discard the lower ones in the same way. Throw pink elastic bands on 4 more times. Then throw a green elastic band on 2 times in the same way. As a result, there will be 2 green elastic bands left on each pin. Discard the lower ones. Now transfer the elastic bands from the 1st pin of the upper row to the 2nd, from the 3rd pin to the 3rd column of the lower row, from the 2nd to the 1st pin of the upper row. Discard 1 elastic band from the bottom.
Now we insert the hook into the center of the flower andpull out 2 white rubber bands, but fix the 2nd part at the bottom. You can put them on a hook or a stick and press them to the machine. Now we have 2 white rubber bands on the hook, gradually remove all the rubber bands from the pins on the hook. Pull out the weaving without removing the hook that holds the white rubber bands. Pull the white rubber band through all the rubber bands on the hook. Form a knot and tighten it. Remove the additional hook. Attach the flower to the strap in the usual way. You can also decorate the slipper with a button or a bow.
These are the funny slippers you get for your doll!
