Bracelet pattern

We take paper and write a name, remember that one cell is one bead. As can be seen from the diagram, the width is 9 beads, and the name itself takes up 24 beads - this is approximately 5 cm. This means that 1 cm will be occupied by 5 beads.

The length needed for a child's hand is approximately 10-11 cm. It turns out that about 3 cm remains at the edges of the name. We will fill it with a beautiful pattern. You can draw your own pattern, for example, a heart or a diamond.

Step by step weaving

The main color will be light pink beads, and the name will stand out in a darkish color. We work from top to bottom - like a snake. We collect nine light pink beads on a needle for the first row.

We collect 1 bead for the 2nd row, and pass the needle through the bead from the 1st row, and again pass the needle through the bead of the second row. Thus we secured the ranks.

From the first row, move 1 bead and take 1 bead for the second row with a needle, insert it into the prepared bead with a needle and again pass through the bead of the 2nd row, using a needle for fastening.

Thus we complete the second row to the end. The first two rows were completed.

Let's take the third row. We take a bead with a needle and insert it in the second row into the first bead, tightening them, and again we pass the needle through the collected bead of the third row.

As you can see, we snake up to the fifth row with light pink beads, and in the sixth we will insert a dark color for the pattern.

Let's move on to the sixth row. We collect 4 beads of light color, the fifth one is dark and again we collect 4 beads of light color.

Let's continue and follow the thread. If the tip of the thread remains approximately fifteen centimeters during beading, then you will need to increase the thread. It is necessary to make a knot and hide the thread in the warp, making the last strong knot and cutting the thread.

Now we weave with a new thread, but in reverse. Having increased the thread, we continue to move according to the pattern.

Upon completion, you need to design the product for the locks. To do this, we extend the thread and bring it out from the middle to the edge of the product. We collect 9 beads, then put on a ring and weave.

Insert a needle into two beads and tighten the ring. We carry on further, grabbing 4 beads and thus continue until the thread is secured in the ring.

How to make a pattern and then how to weave a name bracelet.

Let's take a piece of paper in a cage and put down the numbers: vertically from 1 to 5 (width of the bracelet) and horizontally from 1 to 22 (length).
Take a piece of paper with ready-made letters. We don’t write anything on the diagram itself now, we make notes only under it. We write down the letters of our name in a row, leaving one cell between them.
In order for the inscription to be in the center, we must first count the number of cells it occupies, and then subtract this number from 22 and divide by 2. Then we get that we need to weave 5 rows with the main color at the beginning of the bracelet, and at the end of 4 rows.

Now we transfer everything to the main diagram. We denote empty rows with dots, and letters with crosses.

Let's begin the weaving process itself.

We will position the machine so that the posts look to the right.
We put the iris on 5 columns from above.
Throw on the next elastic band so as to connect 2 rows. To do this, we make an eight out of it. In this way we put on 4 more things.
We throw a horizontal elastic band over all the others in class=”aligncenter” width=”856″ height=”481″[/img]
We put the elastic band back over all the others and put on the other 5 in a figure eight.
We lift the bottom hook and throw it over the top, releasing it in the center. We carry out this operation with the remaining ones.
We repeat steps 2,3,4 and 6 for another 3 rows, thus we will have 5 ready according to the pattern.
Let's start weaving further. We throw one blue elastic band horizontally, then 5 pink ones vertically, turning them in a figure eight.
We throw the blue one into the center, and lift the bottom layer to the middle.
There is only one pink elastic in the next row, so we make it into a figure eight on the far right column after putting on the blue horizontal one. Then we throw in the remaining 4 blue ones.
Let's do step 9.
Weave the 8th in the same way as 7.
The 9th one is empty, so we weave it only from blue ones.
Now we make the remaining letters according to the scheme identical to how we made the first one.
Having finished the entire name, we weave 4 more rows with blue (main) elastic bands.
All that remains is to make the fasteners. Before this, we transfer all the rubber bands of the bottom row to the top one.
We throw all the rubber bands onto our hook, inserting it from top to bottom.
Take another blue one and pull it through all 10 loops. Now there are only 2 on the hook.
Remove the loops from the hook and put on the clasp.
From the reverse side we take out a long elastic band and fasten it to the lock. The bracelet with the name Lisa is ready. Now you know how to weave names from rubber bands.

Weaving technique

Prepare two threads of 50 cm and one of 1.5 m. Everything is very simple, it starts with a rope 50 cm long. You need to cut the tip obliquely and treat it with a drop of glue. This will give rigidity for easy insertion of the thread into the letters. Now you need to enter the letters with the name one by one.

We are preparing a device for a rope strung with personalized letters - it can be a notebook or a heavier material in the form of a wooden block. We fasten its end, already tied with a knot, to the device with tape.

Next, take a solid thread 1.5 m long and connect its ends exactly. In this way, we determine the middle of the rope and place it under the bottom of the main working thread with the letters. Begin. On the left side we put the rope on top of the main one (it turns out to be an intersection), and on the right side we thread the other end of the thread from below into this intersection. The result is a knot on the right side.

We measure 8 cm from the edge to the knot made with a ruler.

We continue weaving, but in reverse. We put a rope on the right side over the central one, and with the left end from below we pass into the corner and make the next knot.

We alternate knots from left to right and vice versa. Duration – 5 cm. Look how beautiful it turns out.

Let's get started. We lift the first letter up and make two knots, while tightening it tightly, then again the letter and two knots. We continue this procedure with all symbols.

After all the letters have been woven, you need to treat the last knots with transparent glue and trim the ends of the thread. We take a second rope 50 cm long and place it under the central thread with the letters near the last knot. The technique is still the same up to 5 cm.

When finished, glue the knots and cut the threads. Align the ends and make knots at the ends.

Next, you need to fold them crosswise and fix them about 3 cm according to the size of your hand. The process is the same, nothing complicated, as you can see.

Apply glue to the last knots in the same way and trim the threads. The result is pleasing, isn't it? Success in creative work!

The video shows how to make a homemade machine for weaving baubles from beads and how to weave personalized baubles.

We figured out how to weave beaded baubles and looked at several techniques. I think that you need to start with the easiest thing - simple baubles, and then, with experience, you can not only weave bracelets, but also master the technique of weaving birch from beads or decorate your interior with beaded rowan. The main thing is to try and don’t stop there. Write what you succeeded and share your experience.

Name bracelet made of beads

Such an original decoration, woven with your own hands, can add to your jewelry collection, and in the future give it to someone either for a birthday or as a keepsake.

Required accessories and materials:

rubber band
pink beads
letters
hanger connector
decorative dividers
needle
pliers
scissors

First, you need to distribute the accessories for the creation process on the table in order to see an approximate picture.

If you are ready to start working, then cut off 30 cm of elastic fishing line and pull it into the needle. Then we string it step by step from the first bead to the end. Having cut the fishing line from the needle, tie it in a knot three times, tighten the tails with pliers and cut off the ends of the fishing line, leaving 3 mm tails.

All that remains is to attach the pendant on the opposite side of the name. That's all, it's ready, wear it with pleasure! Nowadays it is very fashionable and popular among young people to wear such simple jewelry with their own names.

Personalized beaded bracelet with the name Andrey

You will learn how to create a wonderful gift for the holiday dedicated to St. Andrew the First-Called - the Apostle of Jesus Christ, which is celebrated annually on December 13. On this day, it is customary to go to church for service in the morning, and then gather with the whole family at the large dining table. If among the relatives there is a man named Andrey, then the family gives him a small gift.

Preparing for work

To create a unique gift in the form of a beaded bracelet, you need to prepare the necessary working material:

three shades of size ten beads: lilac, black and green
black silk thread
bead machine
scissors
schematic images

Having thoroughly prepared for an exciting activity, let’s begin performing scrupulous and interesting work.

Weaving technique

You and I will learn how to make such an unusual decoration

So, we need a machine. They come in different types.

We make the machine ourselves

I don't have a standard machine, so I'll show you how to make it yourself. For these purposes, I prepared an ordinary lid from a cardboard shoe box.

We need to take the prepared material and mark it with a ruler and a simple pencil on each side, 0.5 mm.
We mark the entire width of the product.
Having finished marking the lid, we take scissors in our hands and make small cuts with them. We carry out the work carefully and efficiently.
Next, we connect the cuts along the entire length of the lid with a thread, wrapping it around both sides. Having finished wrapping the workpiece, we tie the fiber on the wrong side into a knot and secure it with tape.

Workflow and diagrams

To begin with, I suggest making a decoration diagram with a name. This is done very simply, draw your product on a notebook sheet in a box and color it, highlighting the name in a separate color. To your liking, create a pattern or a solid color. In this diagram, one cell is counted as one bead. Example diagrams could be:

The next step is to tie the thread to the first stretched fiber. Next, we carefully consider the diagram of the selected pattern. Let's start with the starting row.

1. String nine beads, alternating black and lilac beads, focusing on the template. Stringed on a thread, pass under the stretched threads.

2. Carefully place it in the space between the threads. We fix them well with our fingers. We pass the needle through all the beads in the opposite direction. The initial row is usually difficult, but further work will be easy and they will all fit in even bead rows.

3. Next, we collect the second row. We alternate lilac and black. Do not forget about the schematic image - follow it strictly.

4. Just like in the first row, place the strung beads evenly, evenly under the stretched yarn and place them in the cells.

5. Take a needle, thread it through the second row and carefully tighten the thread. The bead weaving technology is repeated. It is important to stick to the pattern and make the right set of beads - and then you will weave the desired product.

6. We knit the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rows like the first two, alternating in a checkerboard pattern - black and lilac beads.

7. Eighth, ninth and eleventh - we use exclusively black ones.
