Handmade items are now valued at their true worth. Each craftswoman tries to create a unique and inimitable decoration from improvised materials. DIY woven bracelets are one of the most fashionable and sought-after accessories. For their manufacture, simple details such as beads, laces, ribbons and many other materials are used. Despite the way they are woven, the bracelets look original and unusual.
Accessories for jewelry
Creating unique and original women's hand bracelets brings great pleasure. They can be made both for yourself and as a gift to loved ones. The main thing in manufacturing is the acquisition of suitable fittings, additional materials and auxiliary tools. Before making bracelets with your own hands, stock up on waxed or suede cords in various shades. It is also necessary to purchase metal pendants in the form of animals, various symbols and signs of the zodiac, marine attributes, emoticons, popular icons and words. To fasten ribbons or cords, you will need metal clips of various sizes and carabiners for fastening bracelets. You will also need connecting links - rings, chains for adjusting the length of the jewelry and additional accessories. Of the tools you will need pliers and round-nose pliers, glue, a lighter, scissors.
Elastic band jewelry
To make simple bracelets with your own hands, you will need tailor's threads - stretch. They stretch well and hold the product firmly. You also need bright beads from different materials. The easiest way is to collect a few suitable balls on an elastic band, tie the ends of the thread and hide inside the bracelet.
The accessory can be decorated with various details. For example, put some beads into metal caps, or, creating a bracelet from several threads, separate them with special spacers with rhinestones. Also, jewelry can be decorated with interesting pendants attached to the fishing line with bails. Such jewelry transforms the created women's wrist bracelets and makes them more attractive and elegant. The parts are fastened together with a special metal link. Bale can be replaced with a holder for pendants.
Bracelet - shambhala
To make a shambhala, a lot of experience is not needed. The main thing is patience and perseverance. To work, you need a leather, waxed or nylon cord, various beads of the same diameter and auxiliary tools. Following the description, everyone can weave bracelets with their own hands.
Sequence of work
Cut 2 cords from the skein: one is 1.5 times the circumference of your wrist, the second is 4 times longer than the first lace. Tie a knot at the end of the short section and put a small bead on it. Before making a bracelet with your own hands, secure the thread with a pin or paper clip to any work surface. Wrap the cord with a long piece, folded in half, and stepping back from the bead 4-5 cm, tie a few square knots, tying the middle thread. Then thread a short string through the bead, and pull the side ends along it. Under the first piece, form a couple of strong square knots and put on the next ball. In this way, continue to fasten and string beads until the created bracelet with your own hands wraps around your wrist. Finish weaving with the same number of knots as at the beginning of work. Cut off the remaining ends of the side threads and burn with a lighter. Can be fixed with clear superglue. At the end of the middle cord, place a bead similar to the other edge, tie a knot and hide it under it. The bracelet can be worn by tying it on the arm.
We make a bracelet from beads and beads with our own hands
To work on this bracelet, you need beads of large and medium sizes with a difference in diameter of about 0.4 cm and ordinary beads of the desired color. Also silk thread or fishing line for weaving, a metal fastener for chains, scissors, a needle with a blunt end.
On a thread about 2 meters long (the excess will be cut off after work), put on two large beads. Then pick up beads in the amount of 5 pieces, a bead of a smaller diameter and again 5 small beads. Repeat the step by inserting the needle into the first two beads and tighten. The line of beads should be laid along two large balls. Repeat a similar set of medium and small jewelry, and in the same way, rounding the first beads, pass the needle through them. You should end up with a visual beaded ring containing two large pieces of jewelry inside. Next, repeat the set rows, adding one large bead each, and thread the needle through the previous ball and just put it on. Thus, each next and penultimate rows will have one common large bead. In order for a bracelet made of beads and beads to be fastened with your own hands, it is necessary to assemble rings from 10 beads on both sides. On one loop it is necessary to fasten the fastener, and on the other it will cling. This method is simple and affordable in the formation of jewelry, and many bracelets can be made with this method.
Beads on a chain
The basis of the jewelry is a metal chain with stone beads and pendants attached to it. For work, you will need metal caps, pins for attaching beads, a carabiner, leaf-shaped pendants, rings, a chain and stone beads.
Before assembling the bracelet, you should choose the size of the beads and their number. Also decide on their shade - whether the stones will be monophonic or create a color scheme of various shades. The assembly principle is to attach all the details to the chain with connecting rings. There is an option to hang a chain with beads so that it is not visible. In this case, the bracelet will become heavy and voluminous. Or simply hang a bead and a pendant on each link in turn.
Preparation and Assembly
Before you start assembling the bracelet, you need to prepare all the elements. To do this, put a metal cap on each pin, and then place a stone bead in it. Gently bend the ends of the rod with round-nosed pliers. Attach special connecting rings to leaflets - pendants. Chain - the base can be assembled from links or purchased ready-made. Attach a carabiner on one side, which will fasten on the ring on the opposite side.
Then you can assemble the bracelet with your own hands. The master class describes in detail the preparation and assembly work. Attach 1 row of beads on pins and pendants to the rings of the chain, alternating the elements with each other and skipping one link at a time. To create volume, collect a few more rows from the created elements.

Many people think that making jewelry requires a lot of materials, time and knowledge, and even special tools. But you will need a minimum of materials to make bracelets "with an elastic band", that is, bracelets using an elastic cord.
Elastic threads used to make bracelets, while the big plus in creating such bracelets is that we do not need any special tools. Also, making bracelets on an elastic cord will take literally 10-15 minutes.
All we need is beads of various colors and shapes, and to add originality we can take pendants, rondels, caps for beads and other accessories for jewelry that you have at hand. Here, as they say, it all depends on the flight of your imagination.
For the bracelet, I decided to take a black elastic cord 0.8 mm thick. By the way, with regard to the thickness of the cords, if you want to take large diameter beads for a bracelet, then it is better to use a thicker cord, for example, 1mm, and for small beads or bracelets for children, cords with a diameter of 0.6-0.8 mm are more suitable.
We did not reinvent the wheel and used the wonderful technology of stringing beads and tying a knot, which Tatyana Zakharchenko spoke about in her article. So, we read:
First, determine the size of your wrist. This is especially true if you want the bracelet to sit tight on your hand. Typically, wrist sizes for different people lie in the range of 15-19 cm. In addition, please note that the left and right wrists differ in size, right-handed people, as a rule, have a slightly thicker right hand. Therefore, it may well turn out that a bracelet made on the left hand and sitting well on it will put pressure on the right. Not much, but after a few hours of wearing it can cause discomfort. Of course, if you want to make a bracelet that dangles freely on your hand, these remarks will be irrelevant.
If the holes in the beads are wide enough, you can string them directly onto the thread. It is more convenient (and faster) for me to use a needle and auxiliary thread, as shown in the photo below.
Collect beads and beads on an elastic thread as you like. The length of the dialed segment should be slightly larger than your wrist. Please note that too narrow a bracelet will squeeze the hand, too wide - dangle. However, you can intentionally make a loose bracelet.
When tying beads, it is necessary to take into account the rapport of the pattern and the size of the largest beads.
In the photo, the yellow arrow indicates the size of the wrist, the blue arrows indicate the possible options for completing the set. I do not recommend making the bracelet smaller than the wrist - it will press, and after a few hours of socks, traces will remain on the skin. It is always better to provide a small margin for a free fit. And for small beads, half a centimeter is enough, for large beads, even up to 2 centimeters may be needed - please note that the final inner diameter of your bracelet directly depends on the size of the beads.
After the beads are cast on, pinch the thread at the base of the beads and cut (the thread is not stretched!). You have free ponytails of about one and a half centimeters.
Now pull the thread and pull out the tails for another one and a half to two centimeters. This will be enough to make it convenient to tie a knot, the thread in the bracelet will be taut, but not too much. Tie a knot.
First half knot:
Since the thread must be taut when tying a knot, hold it tightly with your left hand, and circle it with a free tail with your right hand as shown by the arrow (If you use the knot recommended by me, then you will need to circle it twice, pressing the turns with the fingers of your left hand)
Second half knot. To make it more convenient, press the first half-knot with your middle finger.
Now about that how to tie an elastic thread?
Most importantly - do not knit a "regular" woman's knot - it will not hold! You can tie a straight knot. But there is a better option.
For the first half-knot, wrap the thread not once, but twice - as shown in the photo:
Knit the second half knot as usual. Pay attention to the fact that it is knitted in a mirror ("to the other side") relative to the first (according to the principle of a direct knot).
Knot in a tightened state. This is a surgical site. It is this knot that surgeons use to connect threads to each other during operations.
And here is an example of an incorrectly tied surgical knot: the second half-knot is tied "in the same way" as the first:
In a tightened state, such a knot unfolds:
Choose the right bracelet base.
The first thing you need to start collecting a bracelet with charms is to buy a base. Most girls prefer the silver version. Now in the assortment of jewelry you can find a wide variety of options for bracelets that can be used as the basis for charms. The most common types-
rigid or semi-rigid bracelet.
- semi-rigid version with weaving "lace" with a snap fastener in the form of a ball or box. Many people prefer. Both fasteners are reliable and aesthetic, so the choice is up to personal preference.
Charms worn on thin look stylish and elegant. These bracelets are in the Italian collection of silver jewelry, which are exclusively presented in the stores of the SLAVIA chain. But when purchasing a hard silver bracelet, you need to be sure of its size: the pendants additionally “eat up” some space, so the bracelet itself should sit freely on your hand. This rule applies to closed bracelets - there are no such questions.
You can assemble a beautiful bracelet using a leather base or textile cord. is in the assortment of SLAVIA jewelry stores.
There are several advantages to choosing such a bracelet. Firstly, its cost is much lower than silver. Secondly, this is the best option for the summer. Light outfits and beachwear are best in harmony with natural materials: leather, wood, stones, textiles ... Thirdly, this option is suitable for those who are just starting to collect their collection of charms, because. on a leather bracelet, even one charm will look beautiful. Fourthly, the leather bracelet looks spectacular in combination with silver bracelets and watches. This is very convenient for those who prefer layering in the selection of jewelry.Fifthly, a leather bracelet with charms fixes charms more reliably, so it does not require additional stoppers (pendants that snap into place on a certain part of the bracelet and hold the beads in a certain sector).
If you have chosen a leather or textile bracelet, you should keep in mind that you should not hang more than 7 charms on such a base.
Definewe lay the correct size of the base
- Chapter 2 and rules for their selection.
1. - this is a simple or voluminous ring made of silver, to which a figure or symbol can be attached. Charms also include figurine beads without such a ring, which are worn directly on the base. The charms also include colored Murano glass beads.
2. Stoppers and clips - pendants that snap into place on a specific section of the bracelet. Such elements usually divide the bracelet into several sectors and hold the beads in a certain area.
3. Separators- small silver beads that separate the charms, balancing the composition.
4. - these are two identical clips connected by a chain. They are placed on both sides of the clasp so that if the bracelet accidentally unfastens, the beads do not crumble from it.
5.
pavé beads- ordinary charms, fully encrusted with loose stones.
How to assemble: some rules for choosing pendants
1. In order to assemble a laconic jewelry of a universal style, it is recommended to choose round beads made of silver.
2. Do not overload the bracelet with pendants of different styles. There should be some semantic connection between the beads on the base, they can be similar in shape and color.
3. To prevent the charms from merging into one silver mass, they should be separated from each other by muranka or brighter charms.
4. Two bracelets with a small amount of silver charms look beautiful and stylish on the hand. One of them may be leather.
5.
Pavé beads are distinguished by their showiness and brightness. But the bracelet should not have more than 2-3 such pendants.
6. Many girls choose silver charms for their bracelet, which have a certain meaning. For example, young mothers, for whom the birth of a child has become the most important event in their lives, hang a stroller charm or a charm with a girl / boy on their bracelet. Ladies who are fond of some kind of hobby decorate the bracelet with charms in the form of a camera, a dancing couple, a sports ball, a theatrical mask, a silver watering can, etc. Girls in love love to decorate the bracelet with heart-shaped charms. Romantic ladies love the fabulous style of the bracelets, which they give charms-locks, pendants in the form of fairy-tale characters and mythical heroes.
Of course, an accurate and universal answer to the question of how best to assemble a bracelet
charms, no. After all, it depends on the character, temperament, age and
the appearance of the owner of such an accessory.
In any case, you need to remember that a charm strung on a bracelet with certain emotions and thoughts can become a real good luck talisman. Therefore, you need to start collecting the bracelet with the brightest feelings and in no case be upset if you didn’t succeed in combining some kind of pendant. After all, extra charm is a great reason to buy another base for yourself or make a nice gift to your best friend, who is also still looking for an answer to the question of how to assemble your bracelet that brings happiness and good luck.

We repeat the process until the required length of your product is reached. If there is no special lock for bracelets, you can simply leave the edges of the ribbon longer and tie the jewelry on an elegant bow.

Thread bracelet
An equally remarkable method to make an eye-catching accessory is to make a bracelet using threads, for which you will need the following list of necessary tools:
- ribbon or thread, perhaps even the use of knitting threads;
- a special ring for connection, which can be bought in hand-made stores;
- sewing needle;
- scissors.
The process of making a bracelet from threads
First of all, cut the thread or ribbon into 5 separate ones (2x75 cm, 2x50 cm, 1x25 cm). We take the first two parts, and, folding in half, we thread our ring for connection from opposite sides and tie it into a knot.
We fold a 75 cm ribbon in half and mark exactly the middle, and we put this area under one of the ends of the ribbon previously passed through the ring, tie it tightly and begin to weave the main length of the bracelet. We do this until the desired length of the future product is reached.
To complete the process and obtain the finished product, thread one end of the thread or ribbon into a needle with a suitable eye and thread it through 4 knots. After, we remove the needle, and, threading the other end of the thread, repeat the steps. As a result, we make a circle and carefully fasten the ends of the bracelet.
You ask, where does the little thread go? It will come in handy for us at the final stage of preparing the accessory, from which we weave small knots from the back of the product according to the previously described principle. The remaining length of the cord is cut off.

The process of making a beaded bracelet
We take two threads of a suitable size and fold them in half, forming a loop on top after tying the knot. Thus, it will turn out that four ends of the thread come out of the knot, one of which must be cut off right next to the knot itself.
Continue this weaving until the desired length is reached. To fix the ends of the product, make a fastener or leave the threads longer for a bow.

DIY bracelet photo
Hello dear friends!
This one is dedicated to making a multi-row bracelet with a beautiful toggle closure.
These are now very popular and give great scope for the imagination of needlewomen. You can make them from natural stones, from glass or any other beads, you can combine beads of different shapes or different colors in one product. The number of rows in the bracelet can also be different - from 2 to 10
I myself work only with natural stones and I really like to use beads from the same stone in one piece of jewelry, but of different shapes and shades. Here is such a bracelet in 8 rows of natural amethyst and is described in this master class. But you can do any other, the main thing is to know the technology.
Materials and tools.
Basic materials
Beads of different shapes and sizes, enough to make 8 rows of 14 cm
Two larger beads
Vine leaf toggle lock
Chain 15-20 cm
Auxiliary materials
Jewelery wire - about 2.5 m
Crimps (clips for cable) 24 pieces
Tools
Pliers
Side cutters
Detailed job description.
Step 1. We prepare the rows of beads.
We cut off a piece of cable about 25 cm long, tie a knot at one end and string beads to a length of 14 cm. Thus, we prepare 8 rows.
Step 2. We attach a chain to the ends.
We start from the end of the cable, on which there is no knot.
We remove the last bead, put on the crimp and return the bead to its place.
We pass the end of the cable through the last link of the chain, and then again through the beads.
We move the extreme bead and crimp to the chain itself ...
... and clamp the crimp with thin-nosed pliers. We cut off the extra piece of the cable, leave enough so that it hides in the last 2-3 beads.
Now you need to cut the chain to the desired length, we have 3 links. If the links are smaller, you will need 5 links or even 7 (the total length should be 1.5-2 cm, the number of links must be odd).
Thus, we prepare all 8 rows.
Step 3. We connect the rows in pairs.
Now we will work with those ends where the knot is tied, which at this stage will have to be cut off.
Just as in step 2, before the last bead, set the crimp, thread the end of the cable through the last link of the chain and again through the last bead, crimp and a couple more beads.
We take the protruding end of the cable and tighten the loop so that the last bead moves close to the chain. At the same time, we make sure that the tip of the cable on the other side is hidden in beads.
We clamp the crimp, cut off the excess end of the cable.
Now 2 rows of beads are interconnected with a chain. In the same way, we connect the opposite ends to make a ring of two rows of beads connected by segments of the chain.
We perform this operation with all rows.
Step 4: Joining the Rows
Now you need to collect all the rows together.
We take a piece of cable 15-20 cm long and thread it through the middle link of the chain
We do the same with the rest of the pairs of rows.
Immediately on both ends of the cable we put on a large bead and 4 crimps.
Step 5. Installing the lock
Attaching a lock is practically no different from attaching a chain, only instead of one end of the cable, we use two at once. We pass the ends through the ring of the lock and again back through the crimps and the bead.
We tighten, clamp the crimps, cut off the protruding ends.
It remains to connect the rows and attach the lock on the other side
Here is the beauty in the end
A bracelet of this size will fit a hand with a wrist girth of about 17 cm. If you need more or less, reduce or increase the length of the rows of beads.
