Fashionable thread bracelets

Photos of modern fashionistas clearly show that bracelets and a decent amount of them on their hands are now among the fashion trends. The boho style, so popular among many ladies, is also not complete without such accessories. And also, handmade items – things created with your own hands – continue to be in fashion. Therefore, it is not surprising that many young women and girls periodically do a wonderful thing - weave fashionable bracelets for themselves or their friends as the most precious and special gift.

Wicker jewelry for hands has been known for a long time - from the tribes of North American Indians. Then they were borrowed by the hippies of America. Such bracelets, called “baubles,” were a guarantee of friendship and kinship: when hippies exchanged bracelets, they became brothers.

• braiding a metal or plastic base is also one of the easy options for beginners. It is enough to purchase a suitable accessory and, having selected the threads, carefully wrap the base, thread to thread, so that it is not visible at all, or try to create colored patterns - rainbow transitions, multicolors, braid a thread of a different shade with an interesting ornament on top of the previous layer;

• a thread addition to a chain bracelet - it is enough to braid one edge of such a decoration to make it unique;

• with beads intertwined - this is how the bracelet begins to look more interesting and intriguing. In addition to beads, you can use other items;

• using metal decor - you can hang different figures, leaves, decorations on bracelets, or even weave chain elements into the decoration itself. As a rule, such bracelets already need a clasp so that the bracelet can be taken off and put on;

• Crocheted accessories look elegant and incredible, but a girl who has knitting skills can handle their making. However, there is a lot of information and educational materials on the Internet to learn how to knit;

• macrame – you can take patterns directly from macrame and make masterpieces from laces or thick threads. Such bracelets are wider and somewhat rougher, but there are those who will like them.

Advice. When choosing thin threads (floss), you need to be prepared for a painstaking and lengthy process. From knitting threads (woolen, artificial or mixed), which can be thicker, it is more convenient to weave and the pattern looks more impressive.

The meaning of thread color in bracelets

Previously, the color of the bauble was very important. The shades of the threads had to be selected precisely and without “experiments.” Now this point has been somewhat lost, and fashionistas select threads at will or to match the colors of their favorite clothes.

But no one has canceled the influence of color on the perception of other people.

What do the bracelet colors mean:

• white – purity, freedom and ideals. The owner of such jewelry is a kind and bright person;
• blue and light blue express friendliness, openness and calmness. The color of the endless sky or the gentle sea;
• pink – the dreaminess and romance of the owner of the decoration comes first;
• green – the force of nature, the embodiment of life;
• orange and yellow – positive mood, cheerfulness;
• red is the color of love and joy, energy and cheerfulness. There is an opinion that red is a manifestation of aggressiveness, but rather this can only be interpreted as a red bracelet on a man;

• black – independence, rebellious spirit, freedom;
• purple – originality and creative spark;
• brown – stability and value of family.

By intertwining different shades in a bracelet, you can not only express all your positive qualities, but also harmoniously combine such jewelry with the colors of different clothes.

To weave a decoration, we will need instructions, diagrams and materials:

• floss or knitting threads - the former are thinner, the latter are easier to weave;
• scissors;
• organize your workplace.

To make it convenient to weave, you need to come up with some kind of clamp, a board, a music stand, where we clamp the tip of the future bracelet and weave. These could be the following options:

• attach with a knot on a pin, and place the pin where it is convenient;
• secure the tablet with a clamp;

Consider the following tips for beginners:

• Choose thick, dense threads. You can take yarn with cotton, colored laces, twine. If you use floss threads, it is better to fold them in 4-6 layers. Regular sewing threads are folded 8–10 times. With such thickness it is much more convenient to work, the pattern is clearer and more expressive.
• The optimal length of the threads is equal to the length of the arm from shoulder to wrist. If they are too long, they will get tangled, if they are short, you will not be able to finish the weaving, the bracelet will turn out small and tight.
• Secure the threads well before starting weaving. In the 90s, deodorants were used for these purposes: threads were tied in a knot, placed under a lid and closed. Then the deodorant itself was squeezed between the knees. It’s much more convenient to weave this way. If you don’t have a suitable spray can, you can glue the knot to the table with tape or pin it to your trousers.
