Before weaving

We comb the curls carefully to avoid knots or tangles. If you are used to styling your hair and using foam or other styling products, do it.

We define how our spit will be placed:

• on the tail (high horse or low on the occipital zone),
• right across the head in the middle
• diagonally from the temple to the opposite side of the neck,
• on the sides of 2 braids,
• around the head.

How to start weaving bracelets?

The first step in mastering a hobby is to acquire the necessary tools: hook, loom, zippers and rubber bands of different colors. The main item on the list is rezinochki. You can do without other things. This option will be economical, but not very convenient.

Take a look at the amazing example of the power of human thought! The following photo shows the process of creating a fishtail bracelet. Surely the master will create a beautiful blue product.

Beginners should not buy a large machine for weaving. Such a tool will need an experienced and enthusiastic business master. The machine is required for the manufacture of complex bracelets, large or non-standard work. For example, to create a fun palm.

Also worth to stock up on creative aspiration and patience. Work on bracelets can lead to a dead end, even experienced craftswomen. The main thing in the manufacture of jewelry is to understand the principle of weaving, and not to learn the scheme by heart. Then the combination of any colors in the work will be a simple and easy task.

What weave to choose a newbie?

The simplest type of bracelet weaving is a bracelet made from French braid elastic bands. For convenience, you must purchase a small machine or a slingshot.

Why bracelet made of gum "French braid" called? Because he looks like a famous hairstyle. It should be noted that the "fishtail" weaving is a kind of "French braid" weaving.

The braid made of gum "French braid" like many. The most spectacular product looks in a two-color design. Bracelets "Fishtail" is better to do one-color.

Bracelet from the gum "French braid"

Beginners should pay attention to the simplest bracelets. It is easier to understand how to weave bracelets made from the "French braid" rubber bands, than to study the complex patterns of the Kaleidoscope bracelet. The procedure will be considered on the example of weaving a bracelet made of gum "French braid" on a slingshot.

Step 1. Lay out everything you need to work on your desktop. Namely:

The example selected the most contrasting colors: orange and black. In fact, you should spend time choosing a harmonious combination of product colors.

Step 2. On the slingshot put on the first rubber band in the form of eight. In the future, it will become a "eyelet" for fastening the fastener.

Step 3. The following rings are put on the slingshot without twisting. During work, all gum should be mounted in alternating colors.

Step 4. It is necessary to make a "loop" for fasteners. For this, the "eight" with the help of a hook pounces on the next two rubber bands from one and the second post of the slingshot.

Step 6. You need to wear another gum. You need to hook the hook and throw the middle gum on the left upper gum. Agree, these are absolutely simple actions.

Then the lower right gum should hook and hook again to throw on the upper gum. Of course, this is hard work, but in the end you will have an unusual decoration.

Put on a new black gum. In the finished work, half the bracelet will be orange, and half - black. Nevertheless, the product will be in harmony with clothes of any color.

Step 7. Perform step 6 from right to left. Weaving is repeated until the bracelet reaches the desired length.

It is much easier to figure out how to weave bracelets made from French Spit gum than to memorize a weaving pattern. Following the scheme, you can always be distracted and confused in the order of changing colors of elastics and the direction of weaving.

Three slashes are always put on the slingshot. You need to start from the side where the colors of the gums alternate. If at the beginning of step 6 the sequence orange-black-orange was the same for both sides of the slingshot, then at the end of the step the sequence on the left will be this: orange-orange-black, and on the right: black-orange-black. Therefore, step 7 is to start on the right side of the slingshot with a central orange gum and finish with the lower orange on the left.

Step "final". The braiding of the bracelet is completed with the second “eyelet” for fastening the fastener. To do this, the extreme gum must be thrown on one side of the slingshot.

The lock is inserted into both "eyelets" and completes the bracelet. As accessories can be used not only plastic hooks, but also made of metal alloys.

The inexplicable popularity of rezinochek

It is worth noting that the hobby we are considering has spread to all over the world with unprecedented speed. The age of people who are fond of Raindow loom, ranges from 6 to 99 years.

Boys and girls of all ages madly love to weave bracelets. As it turned out, their parents enjoy this activity no less. What just crazy things from the gum do not create adults! For example, rubber orchids in a pot.

Some create color rings, slippers, a watch belt, and even a dream catcher. People with creative thinking make whole pictures that fit perfectly into the interior of any home.

But the primacy in the competition for the originality of the use of gum rightfully deserved Jimmy Kimmel! Who is this person? Why did fans of this unusual hobby pay attention to him?

Jimmy Kimmel is a well-known humor show host. He appeared on television in a suit from the Rainbow Loom, which caused an increased interest of the audience. Outfit 'Suit of the Loom' was made by children from around the world.

French braid weave

First prepare your Rainbow loom. Remove the left row of columns so that it does not interfere with you, since you only need two columns to make a French braid.

For example, we will weave a bracelet of rubber bands of two colors (in my opinion, the most beautiful version of the bracelet) - orange and green.

Throw the first gum (orange) over the first two columns, twisting the figure eight. Then gum of a different color (in my case green) pull on the same columns in the usual way, without any eights (all the elastic bands, in the future, we will throw in the usual way on the same columns). Again, take the gum of the same color as the first (orange) and put on the bars.

Now on the left column hook the first gum (stretched by the eight), and throw it off the outside of the column in the middle. Then discard this gum from the right column in the same way. As a result, it should turn out like this:

Throw on the columns gum green.

To weave it into a bracelet, remove the central gum from the right column, and then the first (lowest) gum from the left column.

French Spit Weaving Pattern

Next is the orange gum - pull it on the posts. Now on the right column are two elastic bands of the same color (green) below, this means that we need to throw off the lower gum from the right column.

On the left column the color of the gums alternate, so we take off the central gum from it (it is the same color as that taken from the right column, that is, green).

Last time we added an orange gum, so put a green gum on the posts. Now on the left column are two rubber bands of the same color, which means, following the instructions from the previous paragraph, we need to remove the lower gum from it.

In turn, on the right column the color of the rubber bands alternate, therefore we remove the central one from it.

Alternating colors, add gum to the posts. Bind them by following the pattern described above. Let's fix:

1. two rubber bands of the same color on the post - we remove the lower rubber band from it,
2. the colors of the gum on the post alternate - we remove the central gum from it.

Thus braid the French braid until the bracelet becomes the desired length. It will look like this:

We finish bracelet weaving

It's time to remove the gum from the machine. On each of the columns left two rezinochki. First remove the lower gum from both posts.

Then remove the last gum from one column and drop it on the other. Put the clip on the resulting loops.

At the other end of the bracelet we have a rubber band stretched by the figure eight. Throw the same clip on it. Done!

You have a beautiful and wide bracelet. Leave your bracelet options French braid in the comments and good luck to you =)

What you need for a bracelet made of gum French braid?

To make a French braid bracelet of rubber bands, you will need silicone rubber bands of two contrasting colors, a weaving machine, a weaving hook, as well as one S-shaped clip for connecting the bracelet. Expect also to spend on braiding this bracelet a little of your time, or rather, 15-20 minutes.

French braid bracelet made of rubber bands is woven in this master class on two columns of a machine for weaving. If suddenly you didn’t have a machine, you can use improvised means, for example, your own fingers, a fork for food or just two intertwined pencils in the form of a slingshot (and the slingshot itself can also be used, the main thing is that it is not very wide so that rezinochki not torn). As a tool for the hook, which is easily replaced with fingers, you can also use a regular crochet hook for a suitable size (most likely you will need a size from 3 to 4).

How to weave a bracelet made of gum French braid?

In this master class for braiding a French braid, yellow and green elastic bands are used.

Put the machine for weaving to the side where the posts go with a notch. The columns for this technique must stand in straight rows, that is, on the same level (not staggered, as in some other weaves). Use the first two columns from any convenient side, you can even detach one row so as not to interfere.

tools and materials for the bracelet of rubber bands

So, take the green gum and put the eight on the first two columns.

Step 1: G8

The next elastic is yellow and is worn without twisting. Next wear a green elastic in the same way. Subsequently, all rezinochki wear alternating colors.

step 2: two elastic bands without twisting

With the next step, pull the lower gum with a hook first on one side and release, then on the other side. As a result, the lower gum should hang on the top two, forming a loop.

Put on the next yellow gum.

Now, on the right, remove and pass through the column a green elastic band, which is in the middle between the yellow ones. And on the left, remove the bottom yellow gum and pass through the post. It should look like this:

Further pay attention to the following pattern. On the one hand, it is necessary to remove the central gum (from the one where it is of a contrasting color), and on the other hand, the lower one (where the lower and central are of the same color).

Thus, the following steps for weaving the bracelet will look like this:

The central yellow is removed and stretched on the left, and the lower yellow is stretched on the right.

And now, on the contrary, on the right, the green central one is removed, and on the left - the green lower one.

Repeat until you get a bracelet of the required length.

French braid woven bracelet must be connected with an S-shaped clip. To do this, remove the lower gum from two sides, as shown in the photo.

Flip the remaining yellow elastic on one column and put one end of the clip on it.

Catch the second end of the clip on the initial gum.

The scheme on the tail do it yourself

Now that the location of the spit has been chosen and the scheme is clear to you, it remains to proceed to the practical part. Check again whether you have prepared everything for weaving and proceed.

We weave a braid of rubber bands on the tail with our own hands:

• tie a high or low horsetail rubber band,
• divide into two identical strands (strand under the strand),
• tie them both with rubber bands,
• thread the bottom strand through the top,
• tighten rezinochku.

The lower strand became the top, then repeat: tie a rubber band, thread the lower strand through the top, so repeat until the end of the tail.

Stretch the braids strands by slightly pulling the strands to the sides.

Prepare your own curls or your model by carefully combing and moisturizing it if necessary.

1. We separate the hair in a semicircle in the upper zone of the crown, as for a Malvinka tail. We do not tie a tight tail.
2. Then, similarly, in a circle, we select the hair and tie it with a second rubber band. After that, the upper tail is divided in half and lowered around the lower tail. Bottom tail tossed up and weave a barb.
3. We make grab with a comb with a sharp end, separating the strand. We comb the added hair and we add with separated from the first strand.
4. Tie up with silicone rubber and slightly tighten.

Another option to weave braids on the side:

What it is?

The usual French braid is known to all. Its other name is spikelet. A variety of options allow you to weave such a braid around your head, to make two braids. But few people know about the method of weaving with the help of rubber bands. Spit in this case is lush, loose and beautiful. Braid this without the help of gum is impossible.

To make such a hairstyle, you need to equip a comb with fine teeth and small elastic bands to match the hair. If the strands are light, you can use silicone gum. Brunettes fit dark. The finished braid can be slightly tousled and stretched to the sides of individual strands. Thanks to an unusual performance, such styling can be done at the wedding.

Weaving technique

The process seems complicated and long, although there is nothing difficult in it. From the first time, something may not work out, but over time, experience will come. Another advantage of this hairstyle - no need to use a hair dryer, curling iron, iron, tongs.

It is enough just to wash and comb the hair well. Then you can weave.

1. You can make a parting, comb the strands back, or simply comb it a little. There are no strict recommendations.
2. Select the right and left sides of the same small area of ​​hair.
3. In the center, select the same order.
4. All three sections fasten the prepared rubber band.
5. The middle strand divided in half and turn the existing bundle of strands through the resulting hole.
6. The inverted area will be bent in a spiral.
7. The hair at the side is slightly weakened, which will give them a lighter and more airy look.
8. Select strands from the left and right sides. Tie the rubber band with the one in the center.
9. Release the central strand and divide it into separate curls, fluff it up and ruffle it with your fingers.
10. Thus weave a braid along the entire length of the hair. At the end reattach the rubber band. Separate hairs pull out.

Instruction:

• Good to comb the whole head of hair. Select at the temples separate strands,
• Fold selected areas with a rubber band.
• Again, separate the hair from both sides, again fasten.
• Pull the bottom out of the first two.
• Secure the two side sections with a rubber band. So weave the entire length.
• The areas above the rubber bands should be slightly pulled out so that the hairstyle is voluminous.
• Beautifully lay curls.
• Bottom braids fasten rubber band.

Detailed step by step instructions:

1. Comb hair, select a strand in the middle.
2. To weave it was convenient, fasten the designated area with a hairpin or comb back.
3. Take on the sides of the two sections of hair, fasten them with a rubber band, as in the versions before.
4. The upper section divided in half. In the middle to put the bottom fastened. In this case, the ends of the upper strand fall down. Bottom again need to raise and secure the barrette.
5. Again, take the hair sections on the sides. Connect them with the first part and secure with a rubber band.
6. Divide the ends of the resulting tail in half. Bottom lift up.
7. In this way, weave until the very end and fasten the braid completely.

This option is simple to perform. Weave it easy, you can quite cope herself. This is an excellent styling for every day. You can experiment with rubber bands. For example, pick up products in contrasting shades. To hairstyle looked beautiful, you should slightly rump the ends and pull out individual hairs.

There is an option even easier. Comb the hair, collect in a high tail, then intercept it with rubber bands along the entire length. This is not the weaving of a French braid, but this hairstyle also looks very interesting.

Having mastered weaving, you can experiment. For example, make a braid on the side. If density allows, you can braid several at once. Weaving can begin from the crown or neck. You can go with this hairstyle anywhere: to work, to a party, to the beach. For a solemn occasion, it is well to rattle the styling and decorate with hairpins or flowers. And for everyday leave the usual option.

Recommendations

1. The more bonded strands, the greater the volume of the entire styling. If you want to get a really lush hairstyle, you should fasten as much hair as possible with rubber bands. At the same time, the “loops” need to be fluffed up and tousled. Get a volumetric styling. At the same time, no one even guesses that it is made from ordinary rubber bands.
2. The longer the shag, the better the weave will be. But long strands are often confused, split. Therefore, before the process, it is desirable to apply a styling agent to them. It can be mousse, foam or varnish.
3. Very fragile strands are not suitable for this hairstyle. Split ends will be confused and interfere with the creation of styling. Therefore, it is better to either completely abandon weaving, or first strengthen and improve the strands.
4. During weaving only the first row should be turned out. The rest do not need to touch, otherwise nothing happens.
5. Cover the gum can be curls that were in the middle. To do this, they need a good rattle.
6. Weaving is beautiful in itself. Often it does not require additional decorations. But if you want you can decorate the braid with small flowers, hairpins, pins. This option is suitable for a festive event.
7. No need to apply a lot of varnish - it will glue the hair. And it is better for them to splash not from above, but from below on each strand. Then the styling will be lush, but natural.

A French braid made from ordinary rezinochek is a great option both for every day and for a celebration. It is easy to weave it, but it looks elegant.

How to weave a bracelet "French braid": master class

Most conveniently this bracelet to weave on a slingshot. However, in the absence of such, you can use your own fingers, two pencils, or an ordinary table fork.

Because I have two colors, blue and yellow, for convenience I will call and the gum - by color. So, we throw a blue eight on a fork.

Next, put on a yellow and another blue exactly, without an overlap. Here and further, we will alternate gum - yellow and blue - strictly in turn.

Both parts of the lower gum fold to the center.

Because the last we put on a blue gum, now we put on a yellow one - also without an overlap. All subsequent rubber bands are worn in the same way.

On the left, hook up the bottom yellow gum and drop it towards the center.

On the right, we hook a blue elastic band and also drop it to the center.

This was the initial stage, and now the main weaving begins, which will continue unchanged until you braid the desired length of the French Spit bracelet.

Throw another blue gum.

We look at which column were two rubber bands of the same color. In our case - on the right were 2 yellow rubber bands. We hook the bottom yellow gum with a crochet hook and fold it to the center.

From the left column also remove the yellow gum to the center - it is located between the blue rubber bands.

We throw in another yellow one - and we see that on the left column there are 2 blue elastic bands.

Pick up the bottom blue gum and fold it to the center.

We do the same with the blue rubber band on the right column.

We continue by analogy: we had a yellow elastic at the top, we put in a blue one and throw down to the center, first the lower yellow on the right column, then the central yellow on the left.

We braid until the desired length of the bracelet is reached. At the end, we fasten the weave with a figure-eight clasp, and with the second end of the figure eight we pick up the initial blue ring on the free tail of the bracelet.

Here you have the answer to the question of how to weave a bracelet "French braid" of rubber bands on a slingshot. If you have questions, we will be happy to answer them in the comments.

Bracelet model French braid

The weaving of silicone rubber ornaments is very popular with both young girls and adult women. With the help of rubber bands, which are sold in stationery stores or hair accessories, you can make many interesting designer jewelry:

• bright bracelets
• fine necklace
• original belts
• soft rings.

To master the technology of weaving is better with bracelets: they are not so intricately woven, on the one hand, and on the other, the result can be assessed almost immediately. The most common pattern of weaving is the French braid. The name was coined by analogy with a hairstyle, in which the strands are woven into a magnificent "looped" braid.

What tools are needed?

Braiding a French braid will take you only 15-20 minutes and will require a minimum of tools. It:

• silicone rubber bands of several colors - about 100 pieces,
• crochet hook (No. 3 or No. 4),
• special device for knitting gum - a small machine, a regular fork, a slingshot (you can do without them, your own fingers will suffice),
• clasp in the form of the letter s.

This type of needlework impresses with the fact that the products are distinctive, bright, and special devices, by and large, are not needed.

Slingshot and hook for weaving a bracelet in the French style

The “French Spit” drawing is the most successful for weaving on a slingshot, because in his case you can not be afraid of hauling or twisting the rubber bands. If you buy a set of rubber bands in the store, then a small hook and a slingshot for weaving are necessarily included in the kit. But in the case when you don’t need a whole set, you can make a slingshot yourself, and take a plain, knitting, No. 3 or No. 4 as a hook: they are the most suitable in thickness and roundness of the head. To make a slingshot, you need:

1. Take two pencils of the same thickness and length.
2. To link them in the form of a slingshot, laying an eraser or any other small object between the pencils (the “step” of the slingshot should not be too large).
3. Shake the resulting construction with scotch tape so that in the process of working the pencils do not twist and fall out.

Making a bracelet on a slingshot

The “French braid” pattern looks especially beautiful when it is made fairly loosely and without unduly twisted rubber bands. Therefore, it is better to take a slingshot - homemade or from a set.

Then we follow the instructions.

1. We twist one rezinochku (bright blue) loop-eight, put it on a slingshot.
2. From above we stretch a pale blue elastic band and another bright one. Do not make loops on them.
3. Crochet grab the right loop of the eight and start it in the middle.
4. Do the same with the left loop.
5. Put on another gum on the device (alternate colors choose to your taste).
6. Grab the second (pale blue) gum on the left, which is now the bottom, and fold it in the middle, and on the right we tighten the middle gum in the center.
7. Put on the workpiece again. Now, on the right, tighten the middle loop to the center, and on the left - the bottom loop.
8. Alternate rows in this way.
9. After we finished the bracelet of the desired length, without putting on the third elastic, we fold one loop into the center, and fasten the second one on the s-shaped fastener. Bracelet made from rubber bands on a slingshot French braid ready.
