Rentrer les fils Pendant longtemps, j’ai bidouillé car je ne savais pas vraiment comment rentrer les fils à la fin de mon tricot. J’étais paniquée à l’idée que le fil se défasse et je faisais des noeuds mais ça ne tenait jamais. Et puis j’en ai eu marre, j’ai pris le temps d’apprendre à rentrer les fils pour faire de belles finitions et être sure que cela tiendrais. Voici 3 petites vidéos qui vous montrent comment faire : une pour le point mousse, une pour le jersey, et une pour les côtes. Côté équipement, il vous faudra une grosse aiguille à tapissier.

The method I'm using to make the bracelets is the exact same way I used to make them in the 5th grade. Supplies:Cotton yarn in various colorsScissors To get the correct length of string for you wrist, wrap the yarn around your wrist loosely three times and then add a couple more inches for good measure. Cut as many pieces as you wish to use. Line up all of the yarn. Tape loop down or hook it onto something to keep the bracelet from moving while you make it. Here's a close up of the knot.

Easy Wire Jewelry Hajlítottam már sok-sok fülbevalót, medált és néhány kar- illetve nyakláncot is, de valahogy a gyűrűkkel nem boldogulok.
