DIY Macrame Bracelet. Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Fold the 20 inch piece in half, pull the loop through the ring, fold it over the ring, and pull the rest of the cord through the loop. Repeat the step on the other side of the ring. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands.
Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . Repeat the same step on the other cord. BRAID. August 12, 2013 Today I’m going to show you how to make a five-strand-braid. First you want to attach the threads to a plane surface. /// Idag tänkte jag visa er hur man gör denna fläta med fem snören. Börja med att fästa snörena på en plan yta. Divide the threads so that you have three on the left side and two on the right. Then start with the left side: Take the thread with the arrow, and place it over the thread next to it. /// Dela upp snörena så att du har tre på vänstra sidan och två på högra. Take the thread with the arrow and place it over the thread to the left. /// Ta snöret med pilen och lägg den över snöret till vänster.
Take the thread with the arrow and move it over to the right side. /// Ta snöret med pilen och flytta över den till höger sida. Then continue with the right side. /// Och nu fortsätter vi på höger sida. Take the thread with the arrow, and place it over the thread to the right. /// Ta snöret med pilen, och lägg den över snöret till höger. Handmade Pride. DIY Crimp Bead Bracelet. I posted on Facebook this DIY bracelet I made in minutes a few weeks ago, but am so in love with the results I put together a tutorial to share. I love layering them together or with other bracelets, and have worn mine nearly everyday since making them! With a crimp bead acting as an easy slide closure, they're a simple way to use up leftover embroidery thread, which I have in abundance after making scores of these DIY hardware store bracelets. Come to think of it, the crimp beads (used as an easy alternative to normal beads-- just don't squish 'em!) Are a lot like a miniature version of the compression sleeves in the other bracelets!
Tools and materials: Small piece of thin wire Scissors 1) Cut a piece of embroidery thread about 24 inches long. 2) Thread the crimp beads over the wire and onto the string. 3) Add 18-20 crimp beads. 4) Make sure to push one of the beads all the way down to the knot. 7) Knot the looped end of the thread and trim the ends of the bracelets. Fenichka peacock tail (leaves) | Fenkoplet. Привет, фенькоплёт! Не так давно меня попросили сделать этот урок. Поэтому сегодня учимся плести фенечку-павлинку. Англоговорящие фенькоплёты называют её «leaves» — то есть «листочки». На мой взгляд, оба варианта имеют право на существование… В общем, приступим.
Для фенечки «павлиний хвост» нам понадобится по две нитки пяти цветов. В начале плетения нити распределяются симметрично. Плетение начинается с центра. Затем в ход идут следующие от середины нити. Далее аналогично к центру проплетаем остальными нитями. Итак, все нити задействованы по одному разу… Теперь начинаем плетение по новой. Дальше, на мой взгляд, всё интуитивно понятно… Вот и всё плетение. Результат: Кстати, лепестки у меня чередуются красные и фиолетовые. Если не всё было понятно, возможно, тебе будет полезным этот видеоурок. Как всегда, жду твоих комментариев! DIY Embroidered Bangle - DIY Craft Kits, Monthly Craft Projects, Craft Supplies, Subscription Box | Whimseybox. After lots of packing (phew!) I was left with all of these cardboard tubes that I knew would be perfect for a future craft project! Using a tape measure and pencil, I marked every quarter inch on the outter edges of the tube as well as in the very center. I found an alternate use for my leather punch with this project!
The leather punch made this so easy. With my leather punch on a fairly small setting, I worked my way around the cardboard tube, punching a hole every quarter inch where I had previously marked. I broke out my stash of embroidery floss and decided on three coordinating colors. Then came the fun part. For the other side of this same pattern, I simply went up through that original middle starting point and repeated the steps, just threading the floss down on the opposite side this time.
The blue edging was done by simply wrapping the embroidery floss one way all he way around and then back the opposite direction. The possiblilities are endless with this embroidered cuff. DIY// Macrame Knot Bracelet - Fall For DIY. Fishtail Braided Anchor Bracelet. I have been obsessed with stripes lately, mainly blues or reds against white. Such a classic combination! When I found this anchor at my local jewelry supply store, I knew that I wanted to create a DIY inspired by it and by my love for classic stripes.
I mixed a nautical inspired fishtail braid with the anchor for this bracelet DIY. Hope you enjoy! Full tutorial after the break... Materials: - hemp cord in 2 colors (here) - metal anchor (here) - small jump rings - 2 metal cord tips (here) - 1 lobster claw (here) - pliers - scissors - masking tape Steps: 1. Fenichka-braid | Fenkoplet. Привет! Сегодня очередной урок, и посвящён он плетению фенечки-косички. Кстати сказать, это одна из наиболее популярных фенечек среди фенькоплётов. Ещё бы, ведь плетение не составляет особого труда, оно похоже на плетение обычных кос. Тем не менее, выглядит фенечка-косичка очень оригинально и ярко. Фенечку-косичку можно плести из прядок разных цветов, оттенков или цветов в окантовке.
Сегодня мы сплетём третий вариант, хотя на самом деле во всех трёх случаях плетение абсолютно одинаково. Итак, для начала возьмём 12 нитей по 1 м каждая. Перед началом плетения первую и вторую прядь нужно «перемешать». Теперь начнём плести. Следующий ряд будет состоять из таких же узлов вправо, но мы не трогаем крайние нитки. Следующий ряд — откладываем по две крайние нити (связываем третью и четвёртую, пятую и шестую). Теперь откладываем зелёную прядку и вспоминаем про серую. Те же нитки оплетаем и остальными тремя нитками серой прядки. Теперь отложим жёлтую прядку. Ну вот и все правила. Nautical Knot Bracelets. Bring a little seafaring flair to your style with these bright, bold bracelets. Inspired by Simone’s sailor’s knot bracelet tutorial, I decided to re-imagine this nautical classic. The project itself is very approachable, so even if you’re not an experienced knotter, you’ll be able to cruise through these steps.
You will need:Cotton, paracord or maritime cord Measuring tapeLightly colored masking tape E-600 glue or hot glue gunLarge spring claspEmbroidery floss Large needle Pen (not pictured) Optional: Paint brush and acrylic paintRhinestone chainIron-on studsLarge jump rings (not pictured) Step 1: Measure and Cut First, make a measuring cord. Next, set your clasp next to the piece of cut cord, and trim away the total length of the clasp. Step 2: Create Your Knot Next, cut 2 pieces of cord measuring at least 22 inches long. To create a carrick knot, take one of your long, taped pieces of cord and make a loop with the masking taped end on the underside, pointing upwards.
Marmalade Bracelet. DIY Button Bracelets Pictures. Whole Stitch Ground / Torchon Ground. A “ground” in bobbin lace is just a way of filling space with a mesh or net. There are a lot of different grounds, but the whole stitch/torchon is a very common one. It can either be used as a filler between other design elements or as a lace by itself (as I’m showing it here.) This ground makes use of only one stitch and is a great place to start with learning to make lace.
It works quickly (once you get the hang of it) and holds it’s shape well. Supplies and Equipment: - #30 cotton crochet thread was used for this piece prepare 8 strands that are 2 times as long as you need them to be – 16 ends/16 bobbins 18 inches per end (8 pieces that were each 36 inches long) made 11 inches of lace for me (how-to prepare your bobbins can be found in the Basics of Bobbin Lace post) - pins - cork or other pinnable surface Print a pattern:1 inch wide lace strip pattern orlarge lace sheet pattern (can be cut down or pieced together for any size lace sheet) This pattern makes use of the Whole Stitch. Knotted Flower Pendant. I love projects that look impossibly complicated when they’re really just made with thoughtful repetition of simple elements. This knotted flower is a perfect example – it’s really just made of one element repeated, but by doing so in a round array the effect is much more dramatic. Supplies: - perle cotton #8, two colors (will be referred to as ‘light’ and ‘dark’ throughout the project) - sharp scissors - cork panels - sewing pins - ruler - fray check or invisible fabric glue - necklace chain (optional.
I think I’m going to turn this one into a hair clip…) Useful Links Lark’s Head KnotDouble Half Hitch Knot Cutting The Strands Cutting the threads for this project is big part of it. Light: cut 28 pieces 24 inches long; cut 21 pieces 16 inches long Dark: cut 21 pieces 24 inches long; cut 28 pieces 16 inches long Center Ring Start out with the long pieces. Fold a light colored strand in half Tie six other light strands in lark’s head knots over the folded strand. Pull up tightly. Outer Ring.

Pom Poms – Backpack Charms Little Miss is ‘back to school’ in the morning, the final part of the prep was getting her hair cut today so we’re officially ready….. that is until I get home and can’t find her tie or something, always happens!!
It’s been such a great weather-friendly summer for the kiddos in Ireland (after more than seven really awful summers) so I’m in no hurry for it to end, while Molly on the other hand has been counting down the sleeps – as this year, in first class, she has it in her head that she will make ‘friends for life’ :) As part of the preparations Little Miss and I made some pom pom charms for her backpack, she’s picked the little yellow chick to accompany her on her daily adventures, I wish I was the chick, the fly on the wall so to speak!! - Backpack Charms have all the fun!!

Tutorial - hot to read patterns. The intention with this tutorial is to show you how to read the pattern instructions for normal patterns on this website.
It is quite theoretical; if you want to start tying, you might like the straight forward tutorial Striped bracelet instead. The pattern instruction charts has always a smaller preview image at top. It shows you how the pattern will look like when you are done with the bracelet. The colors in the preview image is just for example, you may exchange the colors as you wish. Letter colors Below the preview image, there is a row of letters, probably starting with an A. If the letters are A A A A B B B B, it means that you should start your bracelet with four strings of color A, and four strings of color B (and in that order). Simple string setup A simple way to setup the strings are with an overhand knot. While tying, a good method is to fasten the bracelet with tape on cardboard or simply use a clipboard. Length Difference between odd and even number of strings Knot types Box 1. Fenichka with ribbon | Fenkoplet. Привет всем! Сегодня я хочу показать, как можно сочетать в фенечке нитки и ленты.
Идея моя собственная, но не удивлюсь, если до меня кто-то это уже придумал и осуществил В общем, после нескольких экспериментов у меня получилось вот что: Сделать такую феньку очень просто. Сначала плетём обычную фенечку с дырками: Если не знаешь, как плести фенечку с дырками, то вот тебе схема (как видно, абсолютно ничего сложного): Затем берём иглу с толстым ушком и вдеваем в неё ленту, у которой предварительно подпалили кончики.
Так фенька выглядит с лицевой стороны: А так — с изнанки: Обрезаем второй кончик и тоже его плавим, чтоб не распускался. Вот и готова наша фенечка с лентой. З.Ы.
