How to weave bracelets from beads?

In the end of the 20th century, weaving of simple bracelets from beads and beads spread among the youth. Basically, they are fond of teenage girls. But the fascination with beadwork also captured adults. For many, it becomes not only a hobby, but also a means of self-expression and even self-actualization.

Beaded baubles are the initial stage on the way of learning beadwork. Many, even children, can create a simple decoration for themselves or as a gift to friends and family. Such products are especially valuable, because they are made with love and are unique.

Baubles made of beads are a fascinating occupation. The braiding of one bracelet does not take much time and is therefore available to even the most impatient teenagers. For this, besides beads of different shapes and sizes, you will need different fasteners, pins and clips and another base. Most often, for the baubles, a kapron or strong silk thread is used, as well as a thin line or wire.

You can buy a special thin needle for beads or thread it just on the thread, greasing it with beeswax or dipping the tip into the nail polish. Baubles of beads, consisting of a single thread, can be threaded on a fishing line, and for manufacturing products that must rigidly hold the shape, use a soft copper wire.

Sometimes large bracelets are made from fabric using embroidery. Then you need a hoop and a device for creating and drawing drawings on the fabric.

In the manufacture of bead products, you must follow certain rules:

1. Beads need to sort out the size and color before starting work and remove the defective ones.
2. When using a glass bead it is desirable to collect on both sides on a bead, since it has sharp edges and it can cut a thread.
3. When typing beads out of the box and for its stringing, it is better to use a needle.
4. To keep the bracelet tight, constantly tighten the thread.
5. The fastener for the baubles must be chosen so that it can be buttoned with one hand.
6. There are special ways to fix the threads so that the finished product does not crumble. Most often, the thread is fixed, passing the thread through several last beads, the line must be fused with a match, and the wire must be twisted.

You can decorate it with eyelets, pimples or flowers. Thin threads with strung small beads are sometimes connected with the help of large beads.

The baubles of beads, woven on two or more threads, look more beautiful, but they are more difficult to make. For their weaving it is better to use schemes that can be made up independently. For example, these can be circles, crosses, or complex patterns on several threads.

If you master the simple techniques of making jewelry from beads, you will never have problems with gifts to relatives and friends, because products made by hand are very much appreciated.
