How to weave double bracelets made of rubber bands?

The more fashion is spreading on rubber jewelry, the more techniques and color combinations young craftsmen find. And therefore, we propose to consider a couple of variants of the master class of the bracelet in the technique of double weaving using the example of a pattern of rubber bands "spit".

How to weave a bracelet of rubber bands "double braids" on the fingers?

Very many begin to get acquainted with the bracelets on the fingers in a literal sense, so the first we will consider this option:

  1. So, twist the eight of the rubber band and put it on the index and middle fingers. In the same way, we put on one more on the middle and nameless.
  2. Next we begin the weaving in the familiar technique. We put two more elastic bands on top of the same fingers and in the same sequence. Only this time we do not twist them.
  3. Remove the side tabs from the twisted first rubber bands.
  4. On the middle finger you should have here such a double loop of the first rubber bands. We also shoot it.
  5. Here is the result you will get. This is the first ready loop.
  6. Next, we begin to weave a double bracelet, as shown in the diagram above, making small loops of loops and removing them.
  7. At the very end we make a knot to fix. Remove the right and left loops on the middle finger. We separate them by a double loop that was on the middle finger. And then we remove the double loop, tightening the knot.
  8. We fix by hook.
  9. Here such drawing will turn out.

How to make bracelets from rubber bands "double pigtail" on the machine vertically?

It is not always convenient to twist on the fingers of double bracelets, because the loops of rubber bands are tight. But nothing prevents you from repeating the first technique on the machine, in the so-called vertical direction.

We will do the bracelets exactly the same as it was in the first lesson "double braids", only the pins of the machine will be used instead of the fingers, and we will tighten the same loops from the rubber bands. We'll get this bracelet.

Performance:

  1. We select two neighboring pins on one ruler and put on them a rubber band twisted by eight.
  2. We put two more elastic bands on top, without twisting them.
  3. Using the hook, remove two side loops of rubber bands, then the middle double, as in the first technique of the bracelet "double braid."
  4. We continue to weave this sequence of gum to get these double bracelets, as well as the first lesson. We will only alternate the sequence of loops: first side, then central, and on the next layer we remove the central one. Fix the end will be the same method as on the fingers.

How to weave a bracelet of rubber bands "double braids" on the machine horizontally?

And finally, the third way. It is also performed on the machine, but now all the rubber bands will be located in the horizontal plane. We will do this:

  1. We dial the first row for future loops. On the perimeter we put on the rubber bands on two pins, the next one blocks the previous one.
  2. Exactly the same method continue and go to the right side, but now change the color.
  3. Twice another rubber band and put it on the last pin.
  4. Next, we type in a cross-pitch second row for the loops, already with the central ruler of the pins. We work in the same order: first the left side, then the right one. In our case, first a gray rubber band, then an orange one.
  5. The middle we "laced up".
  6. We turn the machine and take the hook in hand. We will work in a different order: start with orange, then go gray. We start to remove the edge of the orange gum and pass it through the last double loop. In the same way, we remove the edge of the gray rubber band.

  8. Further we move along such a chain, starting with orange ones. We shoot through the side, then through the central one. We work in the reverse order of how the hinges were put: we remove first in the side, then along the rulers.
  9. Finish the weaving. We put on the end one more rubber band. The necessary length is obtained in the "chain" technique.
