The perfect complement to the festive or everyday image are properly selected accessories. It is decorations that add semantic completeness. The most common of these are bead bracelets and beads. Due to the wide variety of materials, this product looks stylish and unusual.

History of the bracelet

There was this decoration in ancient times. The very first products were made of a different natural material - bark or grass, then they were replaced by leather. The first bracelets were, more likely, talismans and amulets of ancient people, rather than decoration. They helped protect against evil eye, spoiling, helped to defeat diseases. Approximately 7000 years ago, folk masters began to manufacture bracelets from metals, including precious ones. From the same time, wearing such an ornament becomes a symbol of a person's high status and position in society.

Very often the bracelets were worn not only on the wrist, but also on the forearm, as evidenced by artifacts and images that have survived to this day. By the way, the fashion for these ornaments was not only among women, but also among males.

Choice of materials

To create a beautiful beaded bracelet, you do not need too many materials: the base on which beads will be sewn, and the beads themselves. The basis can be a strong fishing line, monofilament, nylon or cotton thread, ordinary or memorial wire (a wire with a memory that holds a shape).

Beads and beads are chosen at will. They can be of different colors and shapes, depending on the future of the product. For weaving this accessory you can take the beads, bugles, beads of different sizes. Very stylish look in the canvas of this product stones, leather inserts, lace, crystals and other decorative materials.

To fasten the ends of the bracelet, you need to take care of the connecting hardware. Wide bracelets from beads, unlike narrow ones, require a different kind of fastener. Simple decorations can be joined together by the material that is the foundation. The result of this work will be solid products.

The most simple bracelet

You do not need to have a wide knowledge of beadwork techniques to create a cute bracelet in the shortest possible time. Consider three options, how to weave bracelet for half an hour.

Option 1

For work you will need:

• Beads of different size and color;
• Memorial wire;
• Small pliers.

The wire must be twisted in a spiral so that the hand can be passed into the received ring. At one end of the wire, make a loop with pliers to avoid slipping of the beads. Then, in an arbitrary order, it is necessary to thread the existing beads onto the wire to the very end. The second end of the base after finishing work must be completed with a loop.

Option 2

It is necessary to prepare:

• Elastic fishing line (transparent or multicolored);
• Beads and beads.

On the fishing line, beads and beads are strung in a symmetrical order, after which it is simply fixed by a dense knot in the ring. The volume of the bracelet should be slightly larger than the wrist. Such an accessory can be used alone, but it is possible to weave several bracelets of beads of different sizes, but one color palette.

Such bracelets are often solid, not requiring additional hardware. Simplicity of creation allows making several similar decorations of different colors to complement different images. Such products are good for everyday use.

Option 3

This option is no less simple, but very refined. To produce it you will need:

• Beads or beads;
• Basis (fishing line, thread);
• Connecting fittings.

To one part of the fastener you need to attach as many beads as you want to see in the bracelet. For example, ten. On each line of ten it is necessary to string beads. Then connect the ends to the second part of the fittings. You can also these low beads braid in a braid, then the product will play completely differently. This is what attracts weaving from beads. Bracelets, simple or complex, each time look great, and each new creation is not like the previous one.

Wicker bracelets

The scheme of weaving for beginners is simple and understandable - in one bead we stretch the ends of the line (or threads) crosswise. Further on each of the threads we string on the bead, and again in one bead we extend the opposite ends of the base. Thus, we cross the thread. This product takes a little material, especially if you use beads instead of beads.

Weave this technique very quickly, not too difficult (even a child can cope), and in the end we get a simple and cute bead bracelet. The scheme of weaving for beginners is accessible for understanding and does not cause questions. Here's how it looks:

Consider another simple bracelet of beads. The scheme of weaving for beginners here is extremely simple and slightly similar to the previous one. To create such an ornament, it is necessary to thread more than one bead onto working threads, but several (in this case there are seven of them). Cross beads can be taken a little larger or a contrasting color. So, we get rings. The creation of an ornament will take a couple of hours.

Wide Beaded Bracelets

Wide bracelets are equally popular among women of fashion. The fact is that in this decoration you can convey not only your mood, but also some information about your personality. For example, the canvas of a bracelet from a bright bead is woven with the owner's name, the symbolism of his nationality or just those symbols that are close to the bearer. Such decorations can complement the stylistics of the image. Bright colors prevailing in the decoration, will well complement the festive or spring-summer image, but the geometric figures will give austerity and laconism to the bracelet.

To create such decorations, weaving with beads becomes more complicated. Wide bracelets, the schemes of which are presented below, are created with the help of various techniques: mosaic weaving, brick stitches, using a weaving machine, as well as in the Ndebele technique. Some of them are simpler, others are very complex, but as a result of this work there are excellent decorations.

Most wide bracelets are created on the basis of ready-made schemes. They can be made up by calculating the number of beads for the width and approximate length of the product. Such bracelets can be weaved both vertically and horizontally, especially when using a brick or mosaic technique.
