Necklace from beads: how to weave?
Weightless and airy, thin and elegant, or vice versa majestic-massive - variety necklace from beads just amazing! And the most wonderful thing is that you can make a necklace of beads with your own hands! How? The country of advice will tell you about it.
Each craftswomen has, of course,their proven patterns and patterns of weaving necklaces of beads. But in principle, all these schemes and patterns are based on the basic techniques of weaving beads: combining these techniques in a variety of combinations, you can get unique beautiful necklaces from beads.
Necklace from beads is often called according to the technique of their weaving. For example, allocate "air necklaces" or simply "air", necklaces-strings, necklaces- "corals". Let's get acquainted with such a common technique of weaving necklaces from beads as "air".
Necklace from beads air
For weaving an air necklace from beads In addition to the beads and the line itself,also a crochet hook, a sheet of thick paper, a ruler, if necessary - a beaded needle for lowering. And, of course, at the stage of completion of work you will need a set of fasteners.
Beads for air necklaces are chosen the most diverse. Beads can have different colors, different sizes - the "air effect" largely depends on the correct choice of beads.
To start You should thread the prepared beads on the line. The thickness of the line is selected individually, independing on the required "softness" or, conversely, "rigidity" of the finished bead of beads. Remember that the air necklace consists of several rows, so the beads will need to be strung a lot. The length of the thread with beads will be of the order of 4.5-6 m. The order of cutting is chosen arbitrarily.
Attention! The line, on which the beads are threaded, is not necessary to cut off the coil!
When the beads are strung, it is necessary to proceed to the next stage of weaving an air necklace from beads. Using a crochet hook, you should knit from the fishing line an "air chain" (a detailed description of the technique of knitting a string of air loops in our material "Crocheting for Beginners").
In the loop of the air chain, 1, 2 or 3 beads are periodically tied, in random order. Weave the air chain beforepores, until the beads are strung on the line. At the beginning and end of the chain it is recommended to leave the "allowances" for the fasteners, then you can cut the line from the spool.
It's time to assemble necklaces from beads. On a sheet of heavy paper (cardboard), you needdraw an isosceles trapezoid. The dimensions of the trapezoid are calculated as follows: the smaller base (upper) is equal to the desired minimum length of the necklace of beads, the lower one is the maximum. With the help of a pin, the beginning of the string with beads is fixed in the upper right corner of the trapezium obtained. Then alternately, the thread is fixed with pins on each of the edges of the trapezoid (zigzag movements). Thus, a certain amount of "turns" of the thread was obtained.
Having typed on a crochet hook all loops for whichthreads are fastened with pins to the paper, it is necessary with the help of a needle and a fishing line to fasten the loops of each side of the necklace of beads. Next to the necklace is attached the lock hardware. At this assembly of air necklace from beads is over.
