DIY jewelry always draws the attention of others. And the more original the jewelry, the more in demand it is. Today we will focus on jewelry, which is created from threads. In the master class, we will show you how to assemble a bracelet from threads and beads with your own hands.
Thread jewelry can be safely attributed to non-standard types. But thus, they only bribe modern fashion and gain momentum for their use in needlework. The threads that craftsmen use in their work can be very different: simple sewing threads, threads for embroidery (floss), threads for crocheting, etc. The decoration can consist only of threads or be combined with other accessories: beads, beads and others. Let's consider examples of such decorations.

We place on the desktop, the base for the bracelet in the form of a cord. Using scotch tape, we fix the edge of the floss thread at the base of the lace. We start winding. We wrap the floss to the end of the lace edge and fix the thread, as at the beginning, with scotch tape. We string golden metal beads with a wide hole on the wrapped cord. Put a few drops of super glue into the end cap and put it on the cord, thereby making out the edges of the bracelet. We connect the hinges of the limit switches with connecting rings. Add a carabiner lock to one of the rings.
We collect bracelets in this way in various and desired colors.

Today we will tell you how to make beads with your own hands in just 15-20 minutes. At the same time, to make jewelry, you only need a beautiful lace or yarn and a couple of little things. But you can wear these beads with anything. They look especially great with plain cotton T-shirts. Weaving beads will not be difficult: if you have not done anything like this before, do not worry, everything will work out, because the scheme is really simple.
What do we need?
- cord - at least 1.5 meters
- any mount (chain, ring, etc.)
How to make beads?
As for the cord, we advise you to pay special attention to the choice of material. You can use yarn or rubber wire. A nylon thread or even a regular twine will do. But look that the surface is not fleecy, because the finished decoration will not look very aesthetically pleasing, and will not hang (but only dangle and curl), and also the sea of \u200b\u200bfluff from them.
The thread needs to be made double or triple so that our homemade beads do not look too simple.
Now we look at the diagram, it shows one of the simplest techniques. Just keep in mind that one cord on it is equal to one of ours (double or triple). That is, take our twinned cord as a whole. Now just attach the free end to a base and repeat the weave. For convenience, one thread is highlighted in pink, the other in red.
Weave exactly as much as you want the future decoration to be. You can make fully braided beads by fastening the ends with rings, as in the photo below.
Or you can leave only part of the decoration braided, and the rest will be just a regular chain.
For a modern woman, beads are a rather popular accessory. After all, as the great Coco Chanel used to say: “You need to constantly change”. And in order to change, you need funds, moreover, considerable funds. This is what many girls think. However, this is a huge misconception. You must admit that the same outfit can look different if you pick up several different beads for it. And in order to look festive and original, a real fashionista needs not only to know about different types of beads, but to be able to create beads from threads with her own hands. Moreover, making jewelry with your own hands has become one of the most beloved hobbies among modern women.
Required materials and tools:

This will be the most striking detail of your look. In the latest fashion shows of famous designers, you can see a large number of beads-pom-poms of various sizes and colors.
"Felted" beads have become fashionable. But making them yourself is not so easy: finding wool of suitable colors, dumping balls of the right size ... And felt beads will not be in harmony with any clothes. We offer an alternative option: beads made from ordinary sewing thread.
A pin, in fact, is a piece of rigid wire up to 1 mm in diameter and up to 4 cm long, the end of which is shaped like a loop or a stud. It is usually used to create jewelry and is sold in specialized stores for handicraft lovers. From 1 to 3 beads are strung onto the pin, and the straight end is bent in the form of a loop. To make beads, the pins are looped together with loops. A pin ending in a flat head or ball is used to create pendants.
MATERIALS
- pVA glue
- 5 spools of sewing thread in the desired range
- cosmetic cotton pads
- beads of different sizes, shapes and colors
TOOLS
- round nose pliers
- side cutters (nippers)
- the needle is thick
- fine needle
Step 1
Divide the cotton pad in half lengthwise. Drop PVA glue into the center of one half of the disk and form a dense ball out of it. Wrap it in the other half of a cotton ball, adding a little glue. Form an even ball again - its diameter should be 1-1.5 cm.
Step 2
Tightly and gently wrap the cotton ball with thread until the cotton base is completely hidden under its layers. To secure the thread to the finished bead, leave approximately 30 cm of thread. Using a fine sewing needle, sew the top layer of thread in different directions on the surface of the ball.
Step 3
Pierce the finished bead with a thick needle and insert the pin with a ring into the hole. After stringing the bead, about 7 mm of the rod should remain free, cut off the excess with side cutters. Bend the tip of the pin into a ring with round nose pliers.
Every girl loves jewelry. For any outfit, you can purchase a matching necklace or necklace. In the article, we will present an option from threads. Such products look original, there are few of them on sale, and you can choose the right thread color for any outfit.
In order to learn how to make such decor items, it is not necessary to be a handmade master, you only need to have patience, endurance, since weaving is a painstaking task. You will also need care and accuracy. After all, even one wrong turn will stand out from the rest. The work is a little monotonous, since the same turns must be done to make the lacing. Therefore, be patient and start making original thread decorations.
Necklace with large pendant
Before starting work, think about what dress or blouse this item will be worn under. Once you've decided on a color scheme, go to a sewing accessories store and look for matching threads. You will also need a large pendant. If it is golden, as in the photo, then the fastening threads need to be picked up, too, golden. Then the product will look aesthetically pleasing.
1. The first step is to unwind the skeins. To do this, you need to use some kind of dense template. For example, take a cardboard shoe cover or just pull them between the sticks of the back of a chair. The pattern should match the length of the thread decoration.
2.The threads are removed from the template and the edges are cut. It turns out a bundle of threads of the same size.
3. Now you need to make a separate buttonhole, which will hold the whole structure. To do this, insert a small round button into one of the threads and tie a knot. Having correctly measured the length of the necklace, on the other hand we make a loop to fit the button and also tie it in a knot. The thread prepared in this way is applied to the rest. The ends of the bundle are tied with threads so that they do not fall apart during further work.
4. The most painstaking work remains. It is necessary to weave dense rings around the main part of the thread decoration with golden threads. The edge is hidden at a distance of 1 cm from the end of the bundle so that it does not come out. Then we begin to tightly wind the thread around. There are two ways: simply wind the thread tightly against the previous turn, or pull the previous turn into the loop each time. In the second version, a pigtail will be visible from the side, which will need to be placed evenly. But the threads will not overlap each other and the product will be neat.
Necklace with roses
The principle of making such an ornament from threads is the same as in the previous method. In this product, instead of a button, a large bead is put on one end of the bundle, to match one of the roses. When all the main part is done, we begin work on decorating with flowers.
To do this, you need to separately wind a bundle of threads of the main beige color and the same one - contrasting, for example, red, as in the photo. The ends on both sides are wrapped with brown threads so that they do not fall apart. Then we make several turns of yarn in a circle, threading the main part of the bundle into the formed loops. But without tightening it tight. The middle of the rose should be free. Ready-made decor elements are placed in the center of the necklace and sewn on the back with simple threads. They should not be visible on the front side.
Adding braids
A necklace made of threads, made in a way familiar to readers, can be diversified by adding any details. These can be beads or rings, pendants and knots. The next necklace is made with fine braids. At the first stage of pulling the threads onto the template, you need to weave several braids separately. To do this, several threads are taken in each strand so that they have volume. It all depends on the desire of the craftswoman, because you can weave several different braids using a different number of threads for the strands.
Then the finished pigtails are placed in a bundle, located in different places so that each one is clearly visible. You can decorate the yarn jewelry with a bright contrasting bead.
To prevent it from rolling up and down the yarn, it is necessary to tie a knot that will hold it in one place. A pigtail that comes out of a bundle with a bead looks beautiful. It turns out asymmetry, adding originality to the product.
Big pigtail
A thick pigtail is woven from the threads of the floss. Rings made of beads and beads are put on it. They should be bright and contrasting with the base color of the yarn.
The lock on this model is purchased. Now you know how to weave a beautiful decoration from threads. It is not difficult, but it looks very impressive.
Loop decoration
For such a product, you need to choose the same threads in two contrasting colors that would look harmonious together. They are matched to the same length. Then the beams are intertwined, forming a loop in the middle. Then purchased plastic or metal jewelry is inserted from one end and the other, and they must be the same.
"Chocolate with milk"
Such an original piece is also made of two parts. The first half is represented by yarn of chocolate color, which is assembled from yarns long and folded in half. Since the necklace has an asymmetrical structure, the brown threads should be longer than the white ones.
One end of the yarn is wrapped with black threads. The central part of the beam, divided in half, is processed in the same way.
The clasp is made according to the method described earlier, but instead of a button, a large bead is used.
Thread earrings
Now fashionable are earrings made in the form of thin tassels. Making them is very simple, you just need to know how. If you have never done such a thing, then check out the step-by-step instructions. There is nothing difficult here. The only thing is that you will have to wind the threads on the template for a long time, since they are very thin. To make the brush so lush, you need to spin a whole coil. The template should be tight. You can use a piece of wood or very thick cardboard.
When the bundles for the earrings are tightly wound with the required thickness, the outer turns are tied in a knot. Then everything is removed from the template. It turns out a ring tied with knots on opposite sides. Putting the threads together, we make several windings from above around the end, under the knot. And carefully cut the lower part under the ruler.
If you did not succeed the first time exactly, then you can trim the edges with sharp scissors. The upper knot, together with the winding, is hidden in the purchased elements of the earrings. The second earring is made in the same way.
When the master makes the decoration on his own, you can choose the color of the thread for any outfit. When buying finished products, you will have to choose only from what is presented in the display case. The desired combination of shades may not be achieved. And what you buy won't always fit perfectly. So don't be afraid to try making the jewelry yourself. It is not so difficult, but the result will exceed all expectations.
Plain solid color bracelets
To make such jewelry, you will need to purchase a plastic even bracelet and thin silk threads of the desired color. Also PVA glue is used here. Before you start winding the thread in a circle, you need to tie a knot at the beginning of work and hide the edge under the threads. The bracelet is smeared with glue by 1 cm and we begin the painstaking work. When the entire area is filled with threads, the next centimeter of the product surface is smeared. The glue dries quickly and winding is slow. The threads must be pulled tight so that there are no areas with sagging.
The end of the threads must be hidden under the last couple of turns. You can make a whole set of matching colors, consisting of two or three bracelets.
Wide bracelet with decor
Such an ornament is made in a similar way, only a plastic ring is bought in a larger size. After wrapping with threads, work begins on decorating the bracelet. To do this, a simple single pigtail is weaved from the thinnest blue satin ribbon around the size of the circle. Stick it in the center of the ring. Further, on both sides, place two rows of purchased chains of plastic balls. There is a large selection of them in hardware stores.
It remains to glue the half-beads with rhombuses at some distance from each other. That's it, a beautiful bracelet is ready!
The popularity of baubles
If you ask people on the street about the name of a thread decoration, then the answer will be unambiguous - a bauble. This is a braided bracelet. Such products were woven by the Indians of North America. They associated such weaving from threads with strong friendship. Such traditional jewelry has been passed down from generation to generation. If the bracelet was removed or returned to the person who presented it as a gift, then this was considered a very offensive act, interrupting communication. Especially if the bauble was removed in public.
The ancient Slavs also wove such jewelry with symbols to protect them from evil spirits. Such amulets were popular with both women and men. In the last century, hippie braided jewelry was remembered. Baubles also received another meaning. Red thread jewelry was worn by couples in love. Also, special baubles were made that have the meaning of a talisman, a symbol of friendship. Each color has acquired its own meaning. Consider how to make a simple red bauble for a couple in love with your own hands.
Fenichka love
An ornament made of threads, the name of which is a bauble, can be not only braided from different threads, but also twisted from one. For lovers, they are usually made from red threads. It is a symbol of love. In the center of such baubles, either identical beads are put on, or the letter, which is the first in a person's name. Making such a product is simple. A dense red thread is taken. Having hooked it to some kind of strong base (hook, back of a chair or cabinet handle), they tie a knot and begin to twist two threads together. Approaching the central part of the bracelet, several knots are made. Then they put on a letter or a bead and again tie the same number of knots so that the product looks symmetrical. Then again, two threads continue to twist.
At the end, a knot is made, which will be inserted into the first turn of the thread. It will play the role of a clasp that fastens the bracelet on the wearer's wrist.
Lovers wear such products as a sign of eternal love. Make them the same.
You can make any products from threads, it is not difficult to make them, and you can embody any creative ideas.
