Bauble with beads

And now we will consider how to weave a bracelet from tubes with beads. For such a bracelet you will need small beads with large inlets, and a golden ring is useful for the clasp.

We begin a master class for beginners:

1. First, measure the girth of the wrist and multiply it by 10. This is the required length of the tubes. We take the part and cut it to the length obtained. Then we cut it in half.
2. We leave one half unchanged - this is our workpiece. The second - again cut in half. We get two short tubes. We fold them, knot in the place of the bend. We get four free ends of the same length.
3. We straighten the ends, then we string a bead on the leftmost one.
4. We tie a long workpiece to the main assembly. We start its ends under a bauble and tie them with a knot. The ends are displayed on the front side of the jewelry. This knot fixes the position of the strung bead.
5. We do the same, only we do not string a bead.
6. Thus weave the entire bracelet, alternating nodes with and without a bead.
7. At the end we fix the ends with a knot. We make it in such a way that it fits snugly to the weave.
8. Put on the ring and tie the knot again.

Important! Fenichka is ready! You can wear it yourself or give it to a friend as a sign of friendship. According to the beliefs of the ancient Indians, it will be eternal.
