How to weave a bauble from floss in the color of the rainbow. Straight weave: strip weave. Rainbow floss bauble

At this time of year there is no rain, so there are no rainbows, which is a pity))
I hope that this product will at least remind you of her:

As you can see, in the diagram the pattern is on a white background, but it seems to me that it will look brighter on black, so instead of white I take black. Of course, you can weave in absolutely any color)))
The bauble is woven with oblique weaving, the pattern is of medium complexity, not very large. One difficulty: tatting knots.

As always, I weave floss from the Kirov company - they are softer.

For this bauble you will need: 7 white or black threads (I weave with black ones), one thread each of red, yellow, orange, blue, light blue, green and purple.

Take threads at least a meter long, otherwise you will have to add more, and ugly knots will appear.
The peculiarity of this pattern is that the second time we weave the pattern, the colors change their location. For example:

Well, what can I say: BE SURE to mark where you stopped, otherwise trouble will not be avoided. And in order to understand which row you stopped on, you will have to unravel the last three or four rows - this, firstly, is long, secondly, tedious, and thirdly, there is a high probability that you will tangle ALL the threads.

At the end of the work, I will sew buttons to it, so I start and end with a bauble, candy, .(, End,)
Because of this, I make it longer by about a centimeter so that I can sew on a button, and at the same time, the bauble dangles slightly on my hand.

I spent about 5 hours on this bauble, and here is the result of my efforts:

Everyone has at least once encountered a person wearing a bauble. This small wicker bracelet is a symbol of friendship and peace, and it is not without reason that it has a foreign name “Friendship bracelet”. The history of this simple but stylish decoration began among the Indians of North America, who gave ropes woven in a special way to their friends. It was believed that the longer the bauble is kept on the hand, the stronger the friendship between people. Not torn, but to be independently removed from the hand, symbolized the end of friendly relations, and was one of the most powerful insults. The secret of how to weave baubles from threads was passed down from century to century, until in the early 60s of the last century these bracelets became one of the symbols of hippies and spread throughout the world.

In addition to friendship between people, baubles symbolize a person’s interests and passions. For those who know how to read the secrets of the threads of these cute bracelets, they will reveal a lot about their owners. The picture or pattern depicted and the color of the threads are both important. A widely known example is that if a guy and a girl have the same or very similar baubles on their hands, then these young people are a couple.

Gradually, the original meaning of exchanging baubles was lost, but they did not lose their popularity. These bracelets are a universal decoration and therefore now they can be seen not only on representatives of the hippie subculture or the hands of little needlewomen, but also on secular fashionistas and fashionistas. Baubles made from floss always add brightness and special color to an image.

The easiest way is to push the finished thread onto the wrong side of the product, leaving enough thread to later tie a knot.

We apply a thread of the same color to the tear site from the wrong side

And then we tie this thread with standard two knots.

From the wrong side, we tie the ended thread with the one that was just inserted.

The place where the threads join is hidden, and weaving can continue further.

Hello! Today I want to talk about an unusual bauble that our administrator Sasha (aka Fan Yuus) came up with. She called this bauble “Staircase to the Rainbow,” and it is no coincidence: the rainbow wave is intersected by transverse “steps.”

So, for the “Stairway to the Rainbow” bauble you will need the following number of threads:

Red, orange, yellow, green and blue - 70 cm each.

Violet - 220 cm.

White - 40 cm (instead of white, you can take any other color: we will braid this thread, so it will not be visible in the bauble).

Lay out all the threads like this.

As already mentioned, the “staircase to the rainbow” contains elements of a wave bauble. So now we will weave a wave. 🙂

Separate the white and purple, as well as the blue thread.

Using a blue thread, twist the white and purple together in a knot to the right.

Then also braid the white and purple threads alternately with green, yellow, orange and red thread.

This is what a “half wave” should look like. Now it's ladder time!

Separate the purple thread and braid it with the white one with the same knot to the right.

During weaving, purple knots can lie close to the previous row of multi-colored knots. It's OK. Weave in the way that suits you, the main thing is that the knots are even. You can correct the purple row later.

Now we turn around - we braid all the rainbow threads in the reverse order with a knot to the left.

And now you need to braid the white thread. But at the same time, they should not change places, so we use a tatting knot - left-right.

Now is the time to straighten these rows if they suddenly lie unevenly. The purple rows should be positioned strictly horizontally, as steps should be. So if you have them pressed against the multi-colored row, just carefully move them down to the level you need, while holding the multi-colored row.

So, we have completely woven a single element of the bauble: wave + step. The next element will be woven in a mirror way: the white and purple threads are woven together with each of the rainbow threads in knots to the left, and then the entire step will consist of a row to the left and a row to the right.

To work, you will need two pieces of thick leather, buttons for fastening and several rivets for decoration. Tools that will come in handy include scissors, glue, a ruler and a pencil for marking out the baubles diagram and getting in a creative mood.

The algorithm is as follows:

Let's cut out a base from one piece of leather, to do this we measure the wrist. Using a pencil from the wrong side, we outline the location of the fastener buttons.
We make a hole with scissors, insert the foot of the button, and secure it with the cap.
We cut the second piece into several strips, but not completely. We braid all the sections into a braid and secure the ends with glue. We will secure the braid to the base.
We insert rivets between the weaving or into the prepared holes.

To make a bauble, we will need floss of several colors; for the rainbow pattern, we need to choose seven bright shades. The weaving process is as follows:

We fold threads 1 meter long in half, tie the ends with a knot and secure them with a pin to the work surface.

Advice:

Weaving a bauble can be done on a special prepared pillow or board, or simply by attaching it to jeans with a safety pin.

We start weaving, tie a double knot from the two outer threads on the left side. We tie the combinations with the first color in order and knit to the middle.
Let's change the direction and knit the second line to the middle. We will connect the two central strands together.
Next, we weave knots with a new color, moving to the right. We repeat the algorithm, alternately changing direction. It is necessary to use all colors one by one.

The bright bauble for the guy is ready. Let's study the methods of oblique and straight weaving of baubles from threads and you can make any patterns according to the diagrams.
