How to fix a bracelet on a rope. Self-tightening knots for clothesline, for bracelet, for fishing line, for reel

There are many ways to assemble a bracelet.

Today we will talk about the simplest things. This is an elastic bracelet that does not require a clasp.

To make such a bracelet, you will need a minimum of materials and 10 minutes of time.

We will need:

— Elastic silicone thread. The thickness of elastic threads ranges from 0.4 to 2 mm. The most common are 0.5 and 0.8 mm. There are also options for color. In our case, any will do (for transparent beads, you may have to take into account the color). If you have large, heavy beads and the thread is thin, fold it in half.

- Various beads (not very large and not heavy), beads, perhaps pendants - it’s up to your taste

- scissors

- a thin needle and a piece of regular thread about 20 cm long (will make the work easier)

First, determine the size of your wrist. This is especially true if you want the bracelet to fit tightly on your hand.

If the holes in the beads are wide enough, you can string them on a thread. It’s more convenient (and faster) for me to use a needle and auxiliary thread, as shown in the photo below.

Place beads and beads on an elastic thread as you like. The length of the dialed section should be slightly larger than your wrist. Please note that a bracelet that is too narrow will squeeze your hand, while a bracelet that is too wide will dangle.

When selecting beads, it is necessary to take into account the pattern repeat and the size of the largest beads.

In the photo, the yellow arrow indicates the wrist size, the blue arrows indicate possible options end of the set. I don’t recommend making the bracelet smaller than your wrist - it will pinch, and after a few hours of wear there will be marks on the skin. It is always better to provide a small margin for a loose fit. Moreover, for small beads half a centimeter is enough, for large beads you may need even up to 2 centimeters - keep in mind that the final inner diameter Your bracelet depends on the size of the beads.

After the beads are collected, pinch the thread at the base of the beads and cut, do not stretch the thread. You now have loose ponytails of about one and a half centimeters.

Now pull the thread and pull out the tails another centimeter and a half to two. 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 node:

Since the thread must be taut when tying a knot, hold it tightly with your left hand, and with your right hand, circle it with a free tail as shown by the arrow (If you use the knot I recommend, then you will need to circle it twice, pressing the turns with the fingers of your left hand).

Second node.

To make it more convenient, press the first knot with your middle finger.

Now about How to tie an elastic thread?

For the first knot, wrap the thread not once, but twice - as shown in the photo:

Tie the second knot as usual. Please note that it is knitted in a mirror (“in the other direction”) relative to the first one (according to the principle of a straight knot).

The knot is in a tightened state. This -

It is important to know! Here's an example wrong tied surgical knot: the second knot is tied “in the same way” as the first:

It is important to know! When tightened, such a knot unfolds.

It is important to know! This photo shows a possible build error- before tying the knot, the thread was not tightened enough, and the beads are now dangling. To eliminate the defect, pull the thread, cut the thread close to the knot, and tie the knot again, trying to leave short tails.

After the knot is tightened, trim the tails at a distance of about one and a half millimeters from the knot. Additionally, the knot can be secured with glue, but I don’t do this.

The bracelet is ready!

Now you can make half a dozen more - and wear them both together and separately.

Small tricks for working with elastic silicone thread

What to do if the thread is thin?

If your thread is thin or you don't trust it, fold it in half.

But if your beads have small holes, and a knot tied on a double thread turns out to be too thick for them, you can do something more cunning: thread one of the tails of the thread into the loop on the opposite side (as shown in the photo):

Now tie the ends of the thread together, preferably moving the knot slightly away from the loop (method 2).

In the next photo you can't see the loop that one of the tails went through, but you can clearly see that the knot will be tied to the side of the loop. Both the knot and the bend of the thread through the loop form thickenings on the thread, and it is better if they are spaced apart from each other by at least half a centimeter.

Disadvantages of this method: If your bracelet uses beads with sharp edges (for example, glass beads or cut beads), the base thread may fray over time. If your bracelet is strung on a double thread as described above (method 2), then it is enough to fray one thread for the bracelet to fall apart. While a bracelet assembled using method 1 will last longer. This does not mean that method 2 is worse or better, just keep in mind that in this case the presence of beads with sharp edges may be the weakest link in the entire assembly.

By the way, a tightly stretched thread rubs against the sharp edge of the glass bead. Therefore, do not skimp on a couple of centimeters of thread and do not tighten it too much. The tension should be such that the beads just stick together, tightly to each other. Such a bracelet will be easier to put on, and a loose thread will not stretch so quickly. And if the bracelet becomes your favorite, and you wear it a lot and for a long time, so much so that the thread stretches, you will have the opportunity to tie the knot again, a little tighter.

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 elastic bracelets, that is, bracelets using an elastic cord.

Elastic threads are used to make bracelets, and a big advantage in creating such bracelets is that we don’t need any special tools. Also, making bracelets with an elastic cord will take literally 10-15 minutes.

All we need is just beads various colors and shapes, and to add originality we can take pendants, rondels, caps for beads and other accessories for jewelry that you have on hand. Here, as they say, everything depends on the flight of your imagination.

For the bracelet, I decided to take a black elastic cord 0.8mm thick. By the way, regarding the thickness of the cords, if you want to use beads for a bracelet large diameter, then it is better to use a thicker cord, for example, 1 mm, 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 talked about in her article. So, we read:

First, determine the size of your wrist. This is especially true if you want the bracelet to fit tightly on your hand. Typically wrist sizes are different people lie in the range of 15-19 cm. In addition, note that the left and right wrist differ in size, in right-handed people, as a rule, right hand a little thicker. Therefore, it may well turn out that a bracelet made for the left hand and fits well on it will put pressure on the right. Not much, but after a few hours of wear it can cause discomfort. Of course, if you want to make a bracelet that dangles freely on your hand, these comments will not be relevant.

If the holes in the beads are wide enough, you can string them directly onto the thread. It’s more convenient (and faster) for me to use a needle and auxiliary thread, as shown in the photo below.

When selecting beads, it is necessary to take into account the pattern repeat and the size of the largest beads.

In the photo, the yellow arrow indicates the wrist size, and the blue arrows indicate possible options for completing the set. I do not recommend making the bracelet smaller than your wrist - it will pinch, and after a few hours of wear there will be marks on the skin. It is always better to provide a small margin for a loose fit. Moreover, for small beads half a centimeter is enough, for large beads you may need even up to 2 centimeters - keep in mind that the final internal diameter of your bracelet directly depends on the size of the beads.

Once the beads are cast on, pinch the thread at the base of the beads and cut (do not stretch the thread!). You now have loose ponytails of about one and a half centimeters.

Now pull the thread and pull out the tails another centimeter and a half - two. 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:

Second half knot. To make it more convenient, press the first half-knot with your middle finger.

Now about How to tie an elastic thread?

The most important thing is not to knit “regular” woman's knot- he won’t hold on! 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. Please note that it is knitted in a mirror image (“in the other direction”) relative to the first one (according to the principle of a straight knot).

The knot is in a tightened state. This is a surgical knot. This is the knot that surgeons use to connect threads together 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:

When tightened, such a knot unfolds:

This is what a tied knot on an elastic thread looks like:

And this photo shows possible error assembly - before tying the knot, the thread was not tightened enough, and the beads are now dangling. To eliminate the defect, pull the thread, cut the thread close to the knot, and tie the knot again, trying to leave short tails.

A slip knot is a good alternative to conventional fasteners. It is perfect for men's jewelry, for summer clothes, and will help out if you need to hang a pebble with a hole on a string - a talisman of good mood found in sea foam...

To work, you will need a cord approximately 90 cm long, depending on the thickness of the cord. The cord can be anything, but it is more difficult to tie a knot on slippery cords, so to master it, take a regular waxed cotton one, not very thin.

First you need to put on the cord what should be there: beads or a pendant (pendant). An option with one large beautiful bead, perhaps in ethnic style. It is better if the bead is not round: cylindrical or flattened. But the option with several ordinary beads can also work out well.

Step 1. Take the ends of the cord in your hand towards each other. The length of the tails for work is approximately 15 cm.

Bend the right cord into a loop so that the tail itself is at the edge. The size of the loop is up to 10 cm, or less. Now we have a working cord - the right one, and the left one - the one on which the knot will subsequently ride.

The tip of the left cord is not visible in the photo - it turned out to be too long and was not included in the frame. The left cord runs from left to right and ends somewhere behind the top edge of the photo. By the way, it is more convenient to tie a knot not on the edge of the cord (in my case, this is the left cord), but by stepping back - the knot will still move, and later you will move it to where you need it.

Step 2. Use your tail to circle the cords several times, laying the turns towards each other in the direction away from you.

First round:

And two more:

When you tie a knot, hold it with your fingers all the time so that the turns do not loosen. I removed it for the photo forefinger to show what the coils look like. But the usual working position finger - as in the photo below.

Step 3. Make a few turns (three is enough, but more is possible - to your taste) and then pass the tail through the loop:

Now tighten the knot thoroughly, pulling both ends of the cord alternately.

A tied knot looks like this:

The knot should be tight. But here you will have to practice: if you tighten the turns too tightly, the knot will be difficult to move along the cord; if it is loose, it will come loose.

Now you can start tying second node.

Make a loop in the same way...

Then make a few turns...

Pull the tail through the loop and tighten the knot.

For clarity, I tied the knots close to each other. You can tie them anywhere on the cord, the main thing is that the tail, which will then remain redundant, is not very long.

Once both knots are tied, check the overall resulting bead length and how the knots move along the cord. If necessary, the knot (one or both) can be tied.

After this, tighten the knots again and secure them second glue or varnish - just a drop of glue is enough at the point where the tail passes through the loop. Cut off the excess at a distance of 0.5-1 cm from the knot and secure the cut with glue or varnish.

All! You can put it on and enjoy the new thing.

Since the necklace assembled in this way will be worn over the head, the length of the beads should not be smaller size heads. Usually this is about 56-58 cm without taking into account the hairstyle :-) In addition, you need to add the length of the cord, which will directly go to the knots: in my example, a 2 mm thick cord was used and 7 cm was needed for each knot (of course, for a thinner cord you will need less: on a regular waxed cord, the knot takes 5 cm). Add to this another 10-15 centimeters for the “tails” (for the first time, then, when you learn, you will need less) and 2-3 cm for a loose fit - a reserve so that you can put it loosely over your head.

Total we get: 58 + 7x2 + 15 + 3 = 90 cm. This is the approximate length required for work for a 2 mm cord. If you want to make beads longer than 58 cm, make the appropriate adjustments.

A little trick. The cord does not need to be cut to work. You can put beads on a cord of the length that you have (even if it is a whole spool), tie the first knot with the free end of the cord. Then estimate the required length and cut the cord. After this, tie a second knot.

How to determine where to tie the second knot.

It depends on the design of the item you want. In any case, you are limited by two parameters: The circumference of your jewelry in the most tightened position should not be less than the circumference of the neck, and in the most open position (when the nodes are next to each other) - slightly more than the volume of the head, that is, about 58-60 cm.

Before tying the second knot, I try it on the neck. In this case, the first knot should be in the place where I want to see it when worn, and the total length of the beads should be the shortest that suits me (or the way I will wear it). At the free end of the cord I mark the place that corresponds to the position of the second knot. You need to bend the cord at the mark and make a knot as close to the loop as possible (so that the loop is small).

The second option is to use a ruler. Suitable if you know how long your product should be.

In the photo, the mark on the cord is highlighted with a blue dot. In these beads, I decided to move the cords as far forward as possible, so that when worn they would fix the beads.

And the hero of our lesson is a close-up.

Instructions

The first thing to do is to prepare a cotton cord of medium thickness, about 90 centimeters long. Put it on him necessary element decorations: , beads, other decorative elements. One large bead of a cylindrical or flattened shape will look original and unusual, especially if it is made in an ethnic style.

Take the ends of the cord in your hand so that there is a margin of about 15 centimeters on each side, and direct them towards each other. Now bend its right end so that the tail points outward and is located at the edge. Secure the resulting loop. Do not forget to make sure that its value is not more than 10 cm. Work with the right end of the cord, and subsequently it will travel along the left node.

Direct the left end of the cord from left to right, circling the loop and part of the cord several times, and then carefully lay the resulting “rows” in the opposite direction from you. Make 2-3 such turns, holding node fingers and control the tension of the cord. After this, pass the right and left ends through the resulting loop so that they can be tightened into node. At the same time, you do not need to tighten it too tightly, since the turns should move freely along the cord.

Now that the first node ok done, proceed to the second one. The algorithm of actions will not change. New node will be passive (not working). Next you need to make a loop at the second end of the cord. To do this, wrap the free end around it several times and then tighten it node. The remaining tip of the cord should be threaded into the resulting loop (the remaining excess can be safely trimmed off). At the end of all actions, it makes sense to glue the ends of the cord for reliability.

sliding knot for bracelets

Culture Ancient Greece And Ancient Rome had a significant influence on the development of global culture, literature, and poetry. The works of ancient writers, having existed for centuries, were repeatedly translated into other languages.

Where did the events of the myth take place?

The area where the events of the poetic myth about the intricate knot took place was called Phrygia in ancient times. Currently it is the western and central territory of Turkey. Ancient city Gordion was the capital of the once powerful Phrygian kingdom in Asia Minor. The famous name Gordius was borne by many Phrygian kings, so it is assumed that the myth features a collective image of the rulers ancient kingdom.

Cattle breeding and agriculture were very developed in the kingdom; many myths directly and indirectly indicate their special place in the life of the population. So the kingdom was supposedly a simple peasant with two oxen, and for the murder or theft of the latter it was assumed the death penalty. It can be assumed that there were gold deposits on the territory of Phrygia. Legends and stories about the gift of Midas hardly appeared out of nowhere.

The Legend of the Gordian Knot

There is a legend that the Phrygian priests of the temple of Zeus allegedly predicted that the first person to enter their city would become their king. This man was none other than the farmer Gordius, who later ancient greek myths as the ruler and adoptive father of the no less mythical Midas.

A Gordian knot is a very complex and confusing situation.

Gordius, in order to perpetuate this event, tied his famous chariot to the altar in the temple of Zeus, according to the testimony of the priests, with a very ingenious knot. A prophecy was born that whoever manages to unravel the knot will rule the world. True, apparently, power over Phrygia was mentioned. How large the number of people who wanted to untangle this knot was, one can only guess.

What tied the Gordian knot

According to legend, the drawbar was tied to the yoke with an intricate knot of dogwood bark.

Many people are engaged in making beaded bracelets. Sometimes you get whole masterpieces, real works of art. Indeed, things created with your own hands are unique and original. But often a certain difficulty arises here, since many do not know how to tie a knot on a bracelet. Meanwhile, it is a strong knot that can guarantee the safety of all work. Be careful and attentive! For a bracelet to be a great piece of jewelry, it needs to be finished well. Using a surgical knot, you won’t have to worry about this, since it is the most durable and reliable. The main thing is to tie it correctly, because otherwise the knot will immediately come undone and the bracelet will fly apart.

So first, use an elastic thread to keep the bracelet in place. This way it won’t tear when worn and won’t fall off your hand. Secondly, when you have finally assembled it, cut the thread. You should have about a centimeter and a half free at the ends. Pull the thread and pull the ends out a couple of centimeters. First, make a half-knot: take one end of the thread and hold it with your hand, and at this time you will need to circle the second one near the first. Happened? Now make a second half knot like this.

How to finally secure the thread? Many needlewomen do this: in the first half-knot they wrap the thread twice. In the second half-knot, the thread is wrapped only once. In other words, you perform mirror actions relative to the very first node. This is how a surgical knot is formed. Why surgical? Yes, because surgeons connect the threads this way during surgery.

Now you have tightened the knot, cut the ends of the thread at a distance of about one and a half millimeters, now insert them into the nearest beads. Some use glue to secure it for extra security. Well, if you can avoid getting glue on your bracelet, give it a try. Every needlewoman has her own secrets.

Ordinary

Try this node option. Thread one end of the thread into the loop on the other side. Now move the knot away from the loop and tie the ends of the thread together. True, it's not too much good option, since the sharp edge of the beads can break even a thread folded in half.

Slipknot

To tie such a knot, you will need a little patience and a little perseverance. First, prepare a cotton cord that is not too thick, no more than 90 cm long. Put beads on it in the right order and weave a bracelet. Now - attention, let's tie a knot! Take the ends of the cord with your hand, so that there is a margin of 14 centimeters on each side, and direct them towards each other.

Then bend its right tip so that the tip is outside and placed on the edge (see picture). The resulting loop must be fixed. Make sure it is no more than 10 centimeters. Continue working with the right tip, and the knot will continue to slide along the left one.

Point the left tip from left to right, circle the loop and part of the lace several times, then carefully lay the resulting “rows” in the direction opposite to you. Make three more turns like this, holding the knot with your finger and adjusting the tension of the cord. Now pass the left and right ends through the resulting loop so that they can be pulled into a knot. Just don’t pull it too tightly, because the coils should move freely. So we made the first knot.

We proceed to the next one, doing exactly the same steps as the first time. The resulting node will be passive. Next, make a loop at the second end of the lace, to do this, wrap the free tip around it five times and tighten the knot. The result is a loop into which you need to thread the remaining end of the cord. What is left can be trimmed. For a special effect, the ends can be glued using universal glue.

Sometimes a bracelet is woven by bending the thread in half. How to tighten the knot in this case?

The ends of our thread should be two loops. These loops must be put on the right and left hands and a knot must be tied without removing the loops from the hands as follows:

With your right hand, cross the loop in the middle of the thread and hold it. At this time, you need to put on a loop with your left hand, tying a knot in such a way that our bracelet, put on your left hand, fits inside the loop. Now we pass a loop under the bracelet and pull it out from under the bracelet. Left hand release from the loop, release the thread and pull it. It turns out to be a knot!

Another way: you need to make a loop on a thread or rope, then put it on your hand, closer to the elbow of the loop that is on your hand. You thread the loop into the hole of another loop tied on your arm and throw the resulting knot onto the thread.

These are the methods of tying knots on a bracelet that exist today. Now you know them and can use them. Good luck!
