The materials to use:
To make these bracelets you will need to have the following material:
- 4 threads of different colors.
- A scissors.
- Any rubberized tape that you have.
- A table to work with.
Procedure for the elaboration of the bracelet:
- We are going to proceed to cut each strand of the thread 2 meters long each, we join them right in the middle and we are going to tie a knot at one end of the thread; where we will leave an opening as in the form of a leaf. Precisely there we are going to adhere a strip of tape and we are going to stick it on a flat table or somewhere that is comfortable for you.
- Now we will proceed to separate the threads in half, 4 on each side and we are going to arrange the threads, in order of the color we want our bracelet to begin with. In principle, we will take the first thread from the end of the left side and we will put it on top of the thread that follows; passing it down and pulling up. We are going to repeat this step twice.
- Next, we will repeat this step with the following threads. We stretch and stretch, twice, and we tie a knot in each thread. Now we are going to repeat this step on the right side, so with each of the threads we will repeat the knots twice as mentioned above.
- When we reach the center, we are going to join the two threads at the ends, making the knot we are making twice. The whole bracelet will be basically the same: Make two knots in each thread one by one.
- Now it will be the turn of the next thread at the two ends. We are going to pass these to the center and repeat the steps making two knots in each thread.
- The more threads are placed, the thicker the bracelet will be. In this case we have done it using threads of four colors, but you can do it with five, or six, etc., depending on how you want it. The procedure is super simple and you can do it with any waxed thread you get at the haberdashery.
- When the bracelet is of the desired length, we will proceed to put a piece of plastic tape on it and then, with the ends of the remaining threads, begin to make a braid and later we will make a knot so that it does not fray .
- And thus the elaboration of our bracelet with waxed thread will be finished. It is a very nice and ideal accessory to give to the person you want and even, why not, you could make various designs to sell.
- Remember that the attractiveness, length and thickness of the bracelet will depend exclusively on what you have in mind. Of course, it starts with few threads and later you gradually add it, while you acquire skill.
