Every modern fashionista at least once, butthought about weaving a bracelet from latex rubber bands. Their diversity and ease of execution leave no one indifferent. In this master class we will weave a bracelet "Houston". We will spend only about twenty minutes on weaving it.
What is necessary?
Materials:
- three rubber bands;
- machine;
- hook;
- clip.
Manufacturing process
Our bracelet will consist of three rubber bandsflowers, but you can weave it from multi-colored rubber bands. For weaving the edging, for example, you can use the colors of the rainbow. You can also alternate colors in the center of the bracelet, but it is still better not to use many colors here, three colors will be quite enough. However, everything depends on your imagination. Let's set up the loom so that the open sides of the columns are turned to the right. When weaving, we will use only two rows, so we will remove one row. We need only four columns. Take a pale pink rubber band and put it on two columns of the bottom row, pull it off, turn it in a figure eight and put it on the same columns again. That is, two loops are put on two columns of the bottom row. Next, we put a yellow rubber band on the first working column of the bottom row and pull its second side onto the opposite column of the top row. We do the same with the second column of the bottom row.
Using a crochet hook, drop the pale pink elastic band, passing it over two columns, into the center.
Since we will always throw in the same way, thenWe will call the two working columns left, and the second two right. Next, we put one yellow rubber band on the two left columns, and on the two right ones too. Now we put on exactly the same way, but now one pale pink rubber band on the two left and right columns. Next, we take a rubber band of a rich pink color and put it on the two lower columns.
Next, we throw all the rubber bands of the bottom layer into the center. From the top two columns, we throw them in the usual way. We hook, hook one of the bottom rubber bands and lower it into the center.
To remove the rubber bands from the bottom row, we needinsert the hook between two columns. Grab the very bottom elastic band and also lower it in the center. Next, we will throw on a new row. We will throw on one elastic band at a time. We put on one yellow elastic band on two right columns and one elastic band, also yellow, on two left columns. Do not forget that each time we throw on another elastic band of a rich pink color on the two lower columns. Again, throw off one of the very bottom elastic bands from all columns. We throw on a new layer in the same way as last time. We alternate the elastic bands by color. Pale pink with yellow on the sides and always one elastic band of bright pink on the two lower columns. Again, we throw off the bottom layer from all columns. Before throwing on a new layer, we lower the elastic bands on the loom a little down, so it will be more convenient to continue weaving. So we continue weaving until four bright pink rubber bands are formed on two columns of the bottom row. When, having thrown on a layer, we notice that there are now four of them, we throw off the rubber bands, as in the previous rows, but we also throw off one very bottom rubber band of bright pink color.
Further weaving is similar to the previous row.That is, we throw one rubber band on each two side columns and one on two columns of the bottom row. Then we throw off the bottom rubber band from each column and do not forget to remove one bottom rubber band from two columns of the bottom row. We will weave like this until the bracelet reaches the required length. Remember that we throw off the rubber band from two columns of the bottom row last. When the bracelet almost reaches the required length, the weaving changes a little. Now we throw rubber bands only on two left and two right columns. That is, we do not put an elastic band on two columns of the bottom row anymore. We throw off in the same way as in the previous rows, we will also throw one bottom rubber band from two columns of the bottom row into the center. That is, now there will be only two of them.
After the next row there will be one elastic band left,because we will put one rubber band on each of the side columns, but not on the two lower ones. Remove the bottom layer, and there will be no more rubber bands of a rich pink color left on the two columns of the bottom row. Do not put on any more rubber bands. Just throw off the bottom layer again from all the columns so that there is one rubber band left on each of them. Next, transfer the rubber bands from the left columns to the right ones. That is, transfer the rubber band from the left column of the top row to the right column of the top row. And transfer the rubber band from the left column of the bottom row to the right column of the bottom row. Now we throw one yellow rubber band on the right upper and right lower columns. Throw off two lower rubber bands from each column. Now there is one rubber band on each column. Next, we need to transfer any of the rubber bands so that both rubber bands are on one column. Put on the clip. The Houston bracelet is ready!
