Many believe that the bauble, which is an attribute of the hippie subculture , appeared with the beginning of this current, but this is not entirely true. Ideas to weave wrist decorations from improvised materials were borrowed from the ancient Indians. In their civilization, the tassel was considered a symbol of friendship - once exchanged bracelets, the Indians became brothers for the whole life, hence the meaning of this decoration as a symbol of friendship and peace.
In the subculture of the hippies, the baubles are a prototype of the wedding rings - two identical decorations are woven and are given to each other on the wedding day. Few people know, the colors of the baubles also have a certain symbolism.
In our own time, baubles have become an innocent youth accessory that adorns the thin wrists of young girls. They are universal, ideal for both a light dress and a denim style, you just need to choose the right color. Many girls weave a bauble with their own hands, using for this purpose a variety of materials - leather stripes, ribbons , fabric, laces, more original ideas - weaving of rubber, clay or even newspaper tubes. In the master class we will show one of the simplest, but at the same time original and unusual ways of braiding the baubles - from the tubes.
How to weave a bouquet from the tubes?
To weave a bracelet out of rubber tubes, first you need to remove the wrist size. The circumference of the wrist is multiplied by 10 and we get the length of the tube-billet.
So, for weaving bra from the pipes, we need this from the materials:
- a rubber tube, the diameter is not important, the main thing is that it is flexible enough not to burst in the process of weaving;
- beads of medium size, which should be strung without tension on the tube, it is desirable to choose the tone with the tubes;
- a metallic ring of golden color.
Now we can begin to weave bra from the pipes.
How to weave bra from the pipes - a master class
- First of all, cut the long tube into two parts. One immediately put aside - this will be our working tube, which will be needed later. Next, take the second half, fold it in half and again cut in two, we get two short tubes, slightly longer than the circumference of the wrist.
- Further we add two small parts of a tube evenly twice and we add them together.
- Now we tie the upper ends in a strong reliable knot - to start work everything is ready.
- We decompose the four resulting ends. Take the first end to the left and string the first bead onto it. If the bead is large enough, you can thread it on two medium tubes at once.
- Now, finally, we need a third long tube. We take a working tube and tie a single knot at the top. The ends of the third tube must also be the same.
- Then we deduce the ends for the product and tie it up for one more knot, after which the ends are output already in advance. With this knot we at the same time fix the position of the strung buoy.
- Then we do the same thing again, but this time the bead does not string on the tube.
- So we continue to weave the working tube, alternating the knots with the bead and without it. Plait until the main working tube is finished.
- Then we tie the ends to a strong knot close to the knots of the pattern.
- After this, put on the remaining ends of the tubes a golden ring.
- And we tie the edges, including the ends of the long working tube to another strong reliable knot.
- That's the principle, we get a fastener for our baubles of rubber tubules, which will never come off and will not be lost.
Finally, our broomstick made of rubber tubes is ready. We are trying to try on a new stylish accessory.
