Сделанные своими руками украшения и мелкие Toys always cheer up the people we give them to and create a bright, funny image when they complement a costume. You can create a cute toy for yourself or for your friends. Here is an interesting way to easily weave a turtle from rubber bands.






Bubble weaving from elastics


This cute souvenir is woven only with a hook (abbreviation in the text of the KR) without using special tools like a loom or a slingshot. To weave a turtle we will need:

  • "Iris", somewhere around 150 rubber bands of blue and 100 gray colors;
  • CD for weaving or ordinary knitting № 2;
  • The lock is plastic, which is usually sold in sets.

Such a turtle is also called amigurumi. And the way we weave this toy is more like the usual crochet.
Shell It is necessary to take a gray rubber band (further onText is introduced the abbreviation of this word RZ) and wind on the hook three times. Then take it off to another RZ of the same color and close the ring. It turns out a small flower with six loops along the outer edge. The second row needs to be weaved, just using the loops of the first circle. In each insert CD and stretch a new gray iris, we have two pet., 1 we sew in the other. It's like crocheting bunches without a crochet. The third ring of the turtle's back is woven along the same pattern, only it is necessary to alternate: weave 1 gray iris into the loop of the previous row, then two. In order not to confuse the series, we mark the beginning of each circle with a lock.

In the next two circles, weave one RZ in each loop to tighten our shell a little. On the last ring, leave a loop, which we will later use to connect the parts.
 


Head Now we need to weave the turtle's head outBlue rubber bands. The beginning of weaving is exactly the same as in the shell. Only you can make the first round a little differently. Twist the blue rubber band twice or three, and braid one RZ around it to make a circle of six loops. We pass the iris inside the rolled rubber band, and we loop the 1-st loop to the other. So the whole series. Again, we mark the beginning of the circle with a lock so that we do not get confused. In the second one, weave the same way as in the shell, using two R3 in each loop.
 


The next three rings of the turtle's head are woven1st elastic band in each loop. Then close the weaving again, leaving the last elastic band for connection. In the same way, you need to weave the animal's belly from blue elastic bands.


The paws are the same initial circles of six irises, braided around one RZ.
Assembling the product Now we collect the turtle. Paws tied to the stomach on four sides, then attach the head. And the last one to attach a shell on top. To connect simply from the remaining loop, we stretch the next RZ, catching the loops from the belly of the turtle.

The toy will look best ifvolumetric parts: stuff the head and the space between the tummy and the turtle's shell with something. For example, with regular cotton wool. When all the parts are connected, the rubber band turtle is ready.

For those who do not know how to crochet from regular threads, this type of weaving may seem too difficult. You can weave a turtle on a loom, but it will not be as neat and cute.
