How to weave thick bracelets made of rubber bands?

The epidemic of bracelet weaving from silicone rubber bands rapidly swept the entire child and adolescent population around the world. Schoolchildren and preschoolers compete among themselves in the art of making out of the rubber bands intricate bracelets - thin, thick, with a pattern (asterisk, hearts, fish tail ) and without it. Weave thick bracelets made of rubber bands, both on a special machine and without it. We will consider step by step how to learn how to weave thick bracelets of silicone rubber bands on the machine.

How to weave thick gum bracelets - way 1

Performance:

1. We take in the hands of the machine and put on the first rubber of the main color (in our case black) diagonally from the center.
2. We put the second rubber band on it so that it covers the first with one edge.
3. Continue in the same spirit until we reach the end of the machine.
4. We put on the next elastic band diagonally.
5. Similarly, we put on the elastic bands on the other side of the machine.
6. Gently move the gum down.
7. Take the 6 rubber bands of a different color and put them on so that the star turns out.
8. Again, move all the bands down.
9. Similarly, we will form multi-colored stars to the end of the machine.
10. Take the gum base color and fold them twice. We put on two folded elastic bands on the central pegs at both ends of the bracelet, as well as on pegs in the center of each sprocket.
11. Carefully pull the lower loop of the first sprocket and put it on the peg in the center.
12. We will hook the lower central part of each ray of an asterisk and put it on the side pegs.
13. Bind the elastic bands around the perimeter of the bracelet on the same principle as the elastic bands inside the sprockets.
14. At this stage, the weaving will look like this:
15. To fix the work we will pass through the central pegs along the edges of the bracelet a black rubber band and tighten the loop.
16. Without removing the loop from the hook, carefully remove the weaving from the machine.
17. Put on the machine five more gum base color. They are needed to increase the bracelet to the desired size. If the length of the machine allows you to weave a bracelet equal to the arm circumference, then you can do without them.
18. We will hook the rubber bands for each other, from one peg to the other. We will weave in them a loop with one side of the bracelet. When the bracelet reaches the required length, we insert a c-shaped buckle.
19. We'll get this unusual bracelet with an interesting star pattern.

How to weave thick bracelets of elastic bands - method 2

Let's start:

1. Install the machine in such a way that the holes on the pegs were sent from us.
2. We put on the first row of three rubber bands in red.
3. Constantly changing colors in any order, we put on the rows of rubber bands to the end of the machine.
4. Starting with the second row, we install on the machine triangles of black rubber bands.
5. Turn the machine over.
6. We begin to weave the bracelet, putting the rubber bands on the second end on the same peg, on which their first edge is put.
7. The result is this picture:
8. At the end of the series, we connect all three of the last bands together.
9. We'll loop through all the bands on the last central peg and pass through them a rubber band of black color.
10. Without removing the hook from the weaving, remove the bracelet from the machine.
11. As in the previous method, we will expand the bracelet to the required size, weaving a chain of black rubber bands. On average, you need to weave another 8-10 gum.
12. We put in the bracelet clasp - C- or S-shaped.
13. The result is an interesting thick bracelet made of silicone rubber bands.
