From the threads of mouliné

From ribbons

To make a simple braid, you will need to take a pair of ribbons, the length of which does not exceed a meter. It is important to choose such shades that match each other well. To create your first bracelet, do not take thick ribbons - those with a width of less than a centimeter are enough.

To create your own accessory from ribbons you need:

  • Take the prepared ribbons and put one on top of the other;
  • Tie a knot as close to the edge as possible;
  • The ends of the ribbons should be threaded into the loop formed from the knot;
  • A loop of about ten centimeters in diameter is made on both ribbons;
  • The loop of the first ribbon is put through the loop of the second ribbon, and then the first is carefully tightened;
  • The procedure is repeated, but the ribbons change places;
  • Thread the loops into each other and tighten them until the lace reaches the desired length.

At the very end, simply tie a knot and connect the ends of the resulting bracelet.

Kinds of knots

Before you start braiding feshkas, it is worth to learn the knots that may be needed in the work:

  • Left (straight). It gets its name from the fact that the left thread is tied around the right;
  • Right (reverse). Similar to the previous one, but here everything is done the other way around;
  • Frivolita right (reverse right/right-left). Freewolite knots - a combination of right and left knots.
  • Frivolite left (reversed left/left-right). Similar to the previous one, but all in reverse.

Scheme of braiding feshkas for beginners

If you do not want to come up with a pattern or pattern yourself, you can use the schemes. The Internet is full of them, so everyone will find something to their liking. There are several weaving techniques, and their schemes differ slightly.

Straight weave

Straight weave is based on right and left-hand knots. The rows in this technique are arranged horizontally, and their direction changes from row to row.

In the straight weave threads can be of three types:

  • Main (leading). This is usually one thread, which is the longest of all and similar in color to the background of the image. It is attached to the weave, not separated from the ball. It is recommended to take the main thread that is at least five meters long.
  • Main (background). They can be many, depending on the width of the future bracelet. By length, they are from forty to eighty centimeters, but it all depends on the pattern.
  • Auxiliary. These are all the other threads whose shades are found in the pattern of the bracelet. Auxiliary threads can be introduced into the product during the work and cut off if necessary.

By oblique weaving

For oblique weaving, you need to take four colored threads, which will be more than a meter and a half long. They should be folded in half, tied in a knot and attached with a piece of tape to the table.

Here the working (leading) thread is always on the left or right, depending on your leading hand:

  1. The threads are distributed by color (the same ones should be next to each other), and then the work begins with the one on the left (for left-handed people, the one on the right). Use it to tie a knot around the neighboring thread.
  2. The knot is tied again in a similar way - it is a double knot.
  3. The leading thread is tied in a double knot with each of the threads to the right. The procedure is repeated until the leading thread reaches the right end.
  4. The working thread is now changed. It too should be tied with a double knot around each neighboring thread.

Everything is repeated until the bracelet is the right length.

With a pattern

These braids look even more attractive, and to create them you will need colored threads, scissors and tape.

You can weave such an accessory by straight or oblique weaving, but the first option is used more often.

When creating such a product, it is worth using schemes, so as not to make a mistake and get a beautiful result.

 

With a large number of colors

To perform work with such products is difficult, so beginners often should first strike a hand on simple fenches - containing a couple or three colors.

However, if desired, you can try to create a bracelet with more colors. To do this, you need to pick up your favorite scheme and buy threads of the right colors. Then it is sufficient to follow clearly the selected picture, and then everything will turn out.

Braiding pigtails - an interesting activity that can grow into a unique and exciting hobby. Made accessories can be worn and worn on their own, or given to relatives and friends.
