How to weave a flower of rubber bands? Methods of making a flower pendant crocheted and on a machine

If you do not already know how to weave a flower of rubber bands, arm yourself with your favorite machine and detailed instructions - and get down to business! Below are detailed descriptions of the manufacture of beautiful flower pendants in two different ways.

Only crochet

Beginning needlewomen, as a rule, feel uncomfortable alone with complex machines like "Moon Lum" or "Rainbow Loom". It is much easier to understand how to weave a flower from rubber bands on a slingshot or only on a hook. In this case, the suspension, made on the simplest machine tools and a single hook, often look even more elegant than products masterfully woven on "Moon Lum" or multimodal traditional "Rainbow Loom."

To make a beautiful thing that you can decorate any man-made bracelet, take the multicolored rubber bands from the finished set and two plastic hooks.

Beginning of work

• Throw two red rubber bands on the hook and insert the second tool into them so that the tension is formed.
• Twist the "Fanny Lum" eight, while holding both hooks in a strictly upright position.
• Prydet the right hook two red gum, drop them all the loops from the instrument. Repeat the same steps with the second hook.
• Transfer to the right hook the first rubber band from the instrument on the left.

Building a petal

• Very soon you will understand how to weave a flower of rubber bands correctly. Prydte the right hook two yellow "Fanny Lum" and drop them on only a couple of first loops.
• Translate the yellow loop from the right instrument to the left one.
• Prydte two green rubber with the right hook, reset all the loops, repeat on the left side.
• Put all the loops on one hook, gradually adding two violet and two blue rubber bands.
• Give the instrument a pair of red rubber bands and drop all the loops on them. The first petal is ready.

Collecting flowers

• Weave the five petals and translate them into one hook. Punch the instrument with two red "Fanny Lum".
• Drop all the hinges on the new rubber bands.
• The left loop from the hook extend through the right. The loop of the suspension was obtained.

Now you know how to weave a flower of rubber bands with a simple crochet.

Suspension on the machine "Rainbow Loom"

Having learned to make simple ornaments, needlewomen usually go on to master classical weaving machines. The most popular of these remains the traditional "Rainbow Loom." To make on it a flower for decorating stationery or ready bracelets, take three-color rubber, a machine and a hook.

Where to begin

• To learn from your own experience how to weave the flowers from the rubber bands on the machine, pick up the Rainbow Loom and slide the center row to one bar. Then make a hexagon of rubber bands of the first color (for example, red) and lower it down.
• Sketch the second color rubber (say blue) on the bars from the center to the edges of the hexagon.
• Throw in "Fanny Lum" of the third color (for example, yellow) as well as the first one.
• Take the blue rubber and three times wind it on the center post, then pull out the "Fanny Lum" one at a time in the center post. Weave the flower petals from the center to the hexagon bars.

The final stage

• Weave the red row.
• Make three loops, go back to the starting point and add three more loops in the same way.
• Tighten a new yellow rubber band, which will serve as a loop for the key fob.
• Remove the pendant from the machine. Now the flower can be used as an ornament for a pen, pencil or felt-tip pen. It is also suitable for decorating bracelets and applying a keychain or phone keychain as the main part.
