Weaving Methods

Weave this jewelry in the following ways, using:

• fingers:
• forks;
• slingshots;
• a pencil;
• using a special machine.

Important! Particularly beautiful are the products made of multi-colored elements of rich colors.

Fingers weaving

In this case, your own fingers are the work tool. Moreover, one hand will be leading, and the other - auxiliary.

Important! For righties, the main hand is right, for lefties, the left. To conveniently pick up the elements, use a regular crochet hook. <

So here we go! We will weave a ring from parts of two colors:

1. Put the elastic on your finger, twist it with the “eight”. You get a loop that you place on the next finger. Done! Lower the “eight” closer to the palm so that it does not interfere.
2. Put the second silicone ring on two fingers, but without twisting.
3. Pull the bottom element to the center through the top.
4. Repeat the same steps, but with the other finger.
5. Put on the next part without twisting.
6. Remove the bottom element from two fingers sequentially, in the center, through the top.
7. After putting on the next gum, repeat the whole process again.
8. Continue to put on new items and remove the bottom ones. The result is a chain.
9. Hook one side of the S-shaped clasp onto the first loop. Hook the other end into 2 loops on the other side to secure.

The ring is ready!

Using fork

This is a regular cutlery that can be used for needlework. Using a fork, you can even weave a set of rings and bracelets. The principle of their manufacture is approximately the same, the difference is only in length.

We start weaving to make a ring of elastic bands:

1. Put the elastic over the 2 prongs of the fork. Twist the “eight”, put on the remaining two.
2. Slightly lower the “eight” to the base of the teeth.
3. String the next part without twisting.
4. Hook the bottom, pull up and to the side, release in the center.
5. Repeat the same steps from the opposite side.
6. String the next item.
7. Remove the lower part so that it is centered between the teeth of the fork.
8. Repeat until you get the product you want. Then cling the clasp.

Making decorations with a slingshot

To make a ring, you can use one or more shades.

Important! The product on a slingshot turns out to be more interesting and looks more beautiful than woven on fingers or a fork.

Procedure:

1. Put the elastic on one of the protrusions, twist. Place the second part of the “eight” on the second horn.
2. String one more elastic on both horns, but not twisting it.
3. Grab one edge of the bottom element with a crochet hook, pull it up. In the same way, pick up the edge on the other side of the slingshot, lift it.
4. Put on the next gum without twisting, repeat the whole algorithm from the beginning.
5. Performing the entire sequence of manipulations with each of the strung elastic bands, monitor the length of the product.
6. After getting the chain of the desired length, attach the clasp.
7. After that, a finished product can be removed from the slingshot.

Important! The resulting decoration is universal. It is suitable for both boys and girls. Shades can be selected arbitrarily.

"Spider"

You can make a ring of rubber bands in the shape of a spider on a special machine, fork or slingshot.

Important! If you use black color, it will be a great addition to the “villainous” carnival costume for New Year or Halloween. If you use bright and rich colors, you get a cheerful tropical handsome.

So, for such an unusual product you will need:

• Slingshot.
• Knitting hook.
• Erasers (10 pieces).
• Scissors.

Position the slingshot so that it is located in the recess towards you. Next, follow this algorithm:

1. Throw one rubber on your left horn. She will not take part in the manufacture of jewelry, but will be used as an auxiliary.
2. Screw 1 rubber band on the right horn, making four turns.
3. Throw one elastic band on both ledges in two turns, slightly slide down.
4. Throw 4 turns of the lower part from the right column to the middle between the protrusions.
5. To make the legs, fold 2 rubber bands with barrels to the middle so that the upper one is on the right.
6. Put the hook under the bottom element, grab it by the right side. Put it in the loop on the left, tighten it well. Using 2 more pairs of elastic bands and doing the same manipulations with them, you get 3 pairs of legs.
7. Put the hinges of the “legs” on the slingshot and lower them lower so that they do not interfere with further work.
8. Throw one elastic band on both ledges in 2 turns.
9. Fold the two lower turns from the right ledge toward the center.
10. Lift up the very first rubber band that sags and dangles. Place it exactly in the center.
11. Throw off the bottom two turns of the elastic from the left horn in the middle.
12. Pull and hold the dangling rubber band with your fingers. Throw 2 turns from the right ledge to the left.
13. Discard the 2 lower turns from the left ledge to the middle. Now you have 3 loops freely hanging on each of the protrusions. Cut them in the middle. It will be paws.
14. Remove from the left ledge 2 turns and tighten knot. Two loosely hanging loops serve as a spider head.

The decoration is ready, you can put it on your finger!

Important! Feet can be spread out, but randomly arranged, they will look much nicer.

How to make a flower ring from rubber bands?

The product is easier to weave than a spider, but it will look much more spectacular:

1. Position the slingshot so that it is notched toward you.
2. Screw the red rubber in 3 turns onto the right “horn”.
3. Take 2 yellow rubber bands and put them on both tabs.
4. Using a crochet hook, remove the red element towards the center so that it hangs on the yellow ones.
5. Throw 2 yellow “ears” from the right “horn” to the left. You made the first petal of the future flower. Without removing it from the ledge of the slingshot and acting on the same algorithm, prepare 4 more “petals”.
6. When all the petals are ready, put on 2 rubber bands of yellow color on both horns, and then remove all the elements to the center. Pull off the ring.

All! Can be worn.
