With the help simple accessories they create real masterpieces for hair.

What crafts are made from small rubber bands?

A new type of needlework - weaving from rubber bands - appeared recently, but quickly gained popularity not only among children, but also adults. From ordinary small rubber bands, which are sold in every stationery store, bright, beautiful things are obtained: pendants, key rings, bracelets, rings, handbags, toys, cases and even clothes. Thanks to the rich color range, figurines and other things turn out to be original and unique. Every craftswoman can find color scheme to your taste.

Thanks to the rich color palette the bracelets turn out to be very colorful and unusual, which means that every needlewoman can create her own original image. Since such items are not difficult to weave, they are often the first place to get acquainted with elastic bands. However, skilled craftswomen can make necklaces of varying degrees of complexity: starting with the simple technique of threading them into each other, ending with the use of multi-row patterns.

To create one bracelet using the fishtail technique, you need to spend about forty rubber bands. The jewelry is equipped with C- or S-shaped clasps. Weaving bracelets and necklaces in different ways- using a two-horned machine, ordinary pencils, a dinner fork, or even on your fingers. However, it is better not to resort to the latter option, because tight elastic bands interfere with normal blood circulation in the hands.

Toys

With the help of this weaving technique, amazing ones are created. Such master classes should be held in schools, because children are happy to try to make something new and colorful with their own hands. To create a beautiful figurine, you will need a whole set of rubber bands, as well as material for the internal filling of the toy, for example, nylon tights. Cut them into small pieces - this will be an excellent base for your toy.

Having mastered different types weaving, you can make your own animal figurines to the delight of your family and friends. The main thing is to boldly imagine.

Items of clothing

The best part is that the material stretches perfectly. Even if you miscalculate the size somewhere, the created item will still look great, stretched to fit your figure.

Handicrafts use rubber bands to create 2 types of hair decorations - a hairpin and a headband. To do this, take a base (an ordinary hairpin or hoop) and decorate it with wicker figures. The most popular decoration is a bow. It comes in different sizes, for example, for 2/3 of the machine or for the entire device. To create a large bow, you will need about 3 hundred elastic bands. Other types of jewelry are also popular - earrings, rings. Rings are made like a bracelet, but require significantly less quantity consumables, and earrings require special fittings.

Phone case or keychain

If desired, you can create an original, bright “outfit” for mobile phone using the same rubber bands. Some craftswomen come up with them themselves, others use those suggested on the Internet. To get an original item, use elastic bands in bright colors, and if you want to make the case more discreet, use a plain material. To create such products, choose elastic bands of the same thickness and density, otherwise the item will turn out uneven, with bulges or other errors appearing somewhere.

Elastic bands are also used to weave other accessories for mobile phones, for example, all kinds of pendants and key rings. They are made in the shape of flowers, fruits, animal figures, and cartoon characters. To get such an accessory, you will need a metal crochet hook or a special weaving machine. Often pendants are made using double elastic bands to make the figure more dense.

  2. Weaving on a slingshot. Some weaving kits have a special device - a slingshot. The technique of creating jewelry on it is almost no different from the previous method.
  3. Weaving on a machine. Bracelets, pendants, and other jewelry are woven using special machines that can be different sizes. The rows with posts at the devices are removable and allow you to change the position, which is convenient for changing weaving techniques. The most simple view The machine is considered to have a two-horned fork. Such devices are sold in special craft stores or ordered online. The complexity of the pattern depends on the number of columns created decoration or toys.
  4. Weaving on a fork. It is not necessary to purchase a special machine to be able to weave beautiful things such as a mobile phone case or a stylish handbag. An ordinary table fork will help you create simple jewelry models that do not involve voluminous weaving.
  5. Weaving on a hook. This method involves weaving without a machine. Take the usual one crochet hook No. 4 or 3 - they are great for creating a variety of jewelry or figures from rubber bands.

Weaving baubles from rainbow elastic bands looms has recently become increasingly popular. For the first time, these materials for needlework became widespread in 2014, after which almost every child who likes to work with their hands wants to know how to weave bracelets from rubber bands. There are many ways to make stylish baubles, as well as hundreds of weaving patterns.

From the simplest ones that even a beginner can handle, to the complex ones that require experience. Below are several photos and video tips for creating beautiful, bright children's bracelets.

Instructions and patterns for weaving rubber band bracelets with step-by-step photos

Weaving methods using rubber bands have been known for a long time, but a big impetus for this direction of needlework was given by the invention of a special machine by the American Chin Chong, who wanted to surprise his daughters. Over time, this product spread throughout schools, and the creation of bracelets fascinated children: baubles became unique symbols of friendship. What is needed:

  • The machine is perfect for a child with large fingers; it allows even an adult to participate in the process of creating jewelry; weaving with it is easy and enjoyable.
  • For those who do not have a machine, they have come up with many other ways to weave bracelets from rubber bands: using a fork, a plastic slingshot, only with a hook or on your fingers. And although a special device greatly simplifies the weaving process, baubles made using other devices look no worse. As they gain experience, children learn to create bracelets from hearts, decorated with flowers, roses, stars, and bows. Decorative elements are made according to a strict pattern using a thin hook.
  • Elastic bands are used as the main material, although if desired, children can complement the bracelets with beads, ribbons, and other details. You can purchase them in special multi-colored sets for weaving from rubber bands or rubber rings of the same color in a bag separately.

Thanks to this type of needlework, the child learns to better control his body and develop fine motor skills. Weaving bracelets helps improve concentration, and as a result, better learning ability. Several master classes with photos will help everyone who wants to weave an interesting bauble in different ways.

On the rainbow machine

  • To get started, take the first rubber band desired color. There can be several shades of material, it is advisable to start with three. They will have to alternate. First, place the first silicone ring on two posts: the middle one and the post next to it on the left side.
  • Take an elastic band of a different color, put it on the leftmost post, which already has one loop, stretch it to the middle post, as shown in the picture. The elastic bands should be arranged in a zigzag pattern on the machine.

  • Continue arranging your bracelet materials in the same manner, alternating the colors you like.
  • Turn the machine over so that the arrow is facing you. So, while the bracelet is being woven, it will be easier to pick up the rubber rings.

  • Next, work with the pillar that is closest to you. Using a hook, grab the elastic band from the middle row that is located below. Pass it through the top, swapping places with the adjacent loop.
  • Place the removed elastic band onto the adjacent row, connecting with a figure eight. Repeat similar steps with all lower rubber rings. When working with the machine, the weaving should go to the left, regardless of how you turn the tool towards you.

  • Advice for beginners: if you are unable to work with a crochet hook at first, do not despair, this technique requires some skill. Over time, creating a bracelet will be much faster and more enjoyable. As a result, you should have two rows of colored circles, as shown in the photo.
  • To be able to wear the bracelet, attach special S-shaped clasps to both sides of the future jewelry. They can come complete with a set of elastic bands or be purchased separately.

  • Using a crochet hook, carefully remove all the loops from the loom posts.
  • Connect the two ends of the bracelet using a clip. A simple and beautiful bauble is ready! Based on this technique, you will later be able to create original, more complex weaving.

On the forks

A fork is a device that everyone has in their home. With its help you can create a beautiful, unusual decoration. Place 3 elastic bands on its teeth as follows:

  1. Pull the first one over the 3 teeth on the left, then twist it in a figure of eight and put it on the 3 teeth on the right. The loops will intersect on the two middle columns.
  2. Place the second one on 4 prongs, and stretch the back part onto 2 middle ones.
  3. Put on the third one in the same way as the previous step. See how this weaving turned out in the photo:
  • Take the hook. First, hook it on the left loop of the bottom elastic band, remove it from the fork and thread it between the two middle rows. Do the same with the second loop.

  • Next, put on the rubber ring in the same way as you did in the first step in the last stage: place it on the four prongs, extend the back part to the two middle ones. Using a hook, continue to pull out the loops, first on one side, then on the other - this is how you will weave a fishtail bracelet.
  • The length of the bauble requires that the future decoration be periodically removed from the fork. Do this as shown in the photo, hooking the outer elastic bands, then carefully move upward along the teeth.

  • Remove the future bracelet completely.
  • Carefully put back only the outer loops, continue weaving as you did before.

On your fingers

  • Choose several elastic bands in contrasting colors - this will make the bauble look more beautiful and brighter. If desired, you can use plain materials. For, use your middle and index fingers: take the rubber ring, twist it with a figure of eight on them. Place the next 2 rings without twisting.

  • First, remove the bottom left loop, place it between your fingers, then do the same with the right loop. They should be in the middle, as you see in the photo.

  • Add the next rubber ring. With the loops that turned out to be the lowest, proceed similarly to the previous step.

  • Remember that when you weave a bauble, you should see three elastic bands at the same time. Lift the bottom loops up, release them, and put on the next elastic band. Continue weaving until you get the desired length of your product.

  • If the bracelet comes out uneven, don't worry. After production is completed, the baubles take the required shape.

  • When you have woven the ornament to the desired length, leave 2 loops, do not put on the next one. Carefully remove them from your fingers. You will need a fastener to secure the sides.

  • A beautiful, multi-colored bauble is ready!

Using a hook

  • If you have a hook and elastic bands, but you cannot weave a bauble solely on your fingers, use this method. First, fold 2 elastic rings into a figure eight.
  • Next, squeeze them tightly between your thumb and forefinger. So that the untwisted edges are free.
  • Slide the tool under the loose rubber rings.
  • Hook the elastic band with the edge of the hook, pull it so that it is located approximately in the middle between the loose rings squeezed between your fingers. Be careful not to pull too hard, otherwise there is a risk that the material will fall out of your hands.

  • Use your fingers to move a little closer to the new elastic bands and grab them.
  • Thread the hook again as in step number 3.
  • Pull the next elastic through in a contrasting color. Continue this until you reach the desired length of your product. This could be a finger ring or a bracelet.
  • Secure the ends with clasps. Job finished!

Using a slingshot

  • performed as follows: take a slingshot, put 3 elastic bands on its edges: the first one, twisting it in a figure eight, the second one simply hooked on both edges, the third one is similar to the previous one. It should look like in the photo.
  • Grab the right loop of the lower elastic band with a hook, thread it through the top and place it between the posts. Do the same with the second loop, which is on the left.

  • Put on the next elastic band (it can be a contrasting shade or the same one that was used before). Use your hook to lift the loop on the right, which happens to be the bottom one, remove it from the posts, then do the same with the left one.
  • Put on the next rubber ring, remembering to alternate colors, follow the technique of the previous steps. Continue weaving until the bracelet is the length you need.

  • Next, you need to secure the bracelet on both sides so that it does not fall apart. To do this, fasten the clasp as shown in the photo, remove the bauble from the fork, and then take out the extra rubber bands.
  • How it should turn out:

Probably everyone has already heard about such sensational devices for creativity as silicone rubber bands. Recently they have gained enormous popularity. However, few people know that they can be used to make not only primitive bracelets, but also a lot of interesting and useful things. So what can you make from gum? These can be both decorative decorations and practical items that will be useful in the future in everyday life. As they say, you just need to navigate according to your capabilities. Large crafts can take a lot of time and effort, but anyone can make simple jewelry.

Briefly about weaving technology

Of course, the technology of weaving things and small decorative items from rubber bands helps to overcome this problem. It is worth noting that almost everything can be made from elastic bands, except for clothing items. Naturally, you can weave with your own hands, but using this method it is possible to make only the simplest and most insignificant things, but you can hardly weave a dress with your own hands. But proactive manufacturers soon put a simple machine on sale. It represents small platform, on which the nozzles are located. The same ones are strung on them silicone rubber bands. Manufacturers also necessarily include detailed operating instructions for complete sets of elastic bands and platforms, which describe the basics of weaving for the manufacture of a particular product.

A useful activity for the whole family

In general, weaving from rubber bands is a very exciting process, in addition, it is also useful. So, while weaving, children develop fine motor skills, and besides, they are not idle, but are engaged in creativity, which is also very important. The most ideal option is when the whole family is interested in this type of activity: each member of the family “turns on” their imagination, and common interests appear. As a result, the family will behave unitedly, and everyone will be equally interested in taking part in such an original activity. But what can be made from rubber bands, besides bracelets - more on that later.

Getting ready for Easter

Easter is the brightest and most revered holiday. And every housewife prepares for this day with special trepidation, trying to somehow decorate Easter eggs in a special way. In this difficult task, the main thing is to give free rein to your imagination, which is why in this article we propose to move away from the primitive method of decorating eggs and recommend using those same multi-colored rubber bands for this purpose. The first thing you can make from elastic is braided Easter Egg. For this you will need:

  • Elastic bands for weaving;
  • Sintepon;
  • Hook.

The manufacturing process is the most basic

You can make either a plain or multi-colored egg - here, be guided by your capabilities and desires. First, cast on a ring of six loops. It should be typed in the same way as lumigurumi, but only in in this case you need to throw on one more additional elastic band. So, wrap the elastic around the hook, then pass another elastic through it, but at this stage, do not make a knot, just leave these two loops on the hook. Insert the hook into the first ring and pull one elastic band through in the same way. As a result, there will be 4 loops on the hook. Next, take another elastic band and pull it through all the elastic bands that are on the hook. After this, return to the starting ring again. Cast on 6 loops this way. The last elastic band should act as a knot. The next rows should be woven like lumigurumi. There are now many detailed instructions about what can be made from rubber bands for weaving, and in particular for such original and creative decorations.

Jewelry box

What girl doesn't love various types of jewelry and stylish accessories? But few people think about the fact that jewelry must have a special place where it will be securely stored. Of course, you can buy an ordinary box in a store, but why not make it yourself from latex rubber bands? Although this is not the easiest task, the end result is such a box that looks very dignified, noble and interesting. To create such a product, you will need multi-colored rubber bands, a small plastic container, a hook and a clip, which is useful for marking the beginning of a row.

Toy for a little princess

You may ask: what can you make from an elastic band as a gift for a child? As an option, this is a decorative doll, however, such a decoration would most likely be more feasible. experienced craftswomen. To create a three-dimensional doll, you will need the elastic bands themselves, a hook and a machine. The process of making such a toy cannot be called easy, but we will tell you about the most important point that should be taken into account during weaving.

So, let's do the hair for the future doll. This is the easiest step: make 25 chains of 10 elastic bands each. When all 25 braids are done, you can begin making the doll itself. And it is recommended to start from the head. When weaving, one rule should be followed: you should always take only two rubber bands. Prepare the machine and select a row column in the middle, and then put two elastic bands on it in a circular direction. Next, wrap several rubber bands around the central post three times. in the usual way. Take two rubber bands from the middle column and pull them out, thereby transferring them to the column from where it stretches. The next step is to pull the braids onto the elastic bands. For this we need a hook. Put one pigtail on it, carefully remove all the elastic bands from any post and stretch the pigtail onto these elastic bands.

After these steps, return the elastic bands to the column and repeat these steps with each column. Of course, this is far from full list actions to create a doll from rubber bands. In general, you can make toys of any format from rubber bands; you just need to get involved in the process and understand the technology.

Practical things that can be made from rubber bands

By spending a little more time and materials, you can also make a small handbag, a smartphone case, or even some items of clothing from rubber bands. For example, no matter how strange it may seem, many needlewomen are preparing for summer season together with rubber bands. But what can be made from gum in this case? You can weave unique and amazingly interesting swimsuits from them! However, you need to swim in such clothing carefully, since this type of material cannot be called quite durable. If at least one elastic band turns out to be defective and cannot withstand the tension, the swimsuit will completely fall apart in a matter of minutes. And for this reason, when it comes to making large-scale products, it is best to give preference to the strongest rubber bands.

Well, there shouldn’t be any problems with color variations: these rubber bands come in different shades, and most often manufacturers add several colors to one set at once so that finished goods looked bright. Therefore, in addition to bracelets, you can make rubber bands light jewelry like a necklace, ring or brooch - all this will look very creative and stylish.

Weaving from rubber bands is one of the most popular types of needlework for children of all ages, which appeared relatively recently. Weaving from rubber bands attracts many people due to the fact that it is easy to do, and the result is bright and colorful.

From rubber bands you can weave a huge variety of the most various crafts, the most common, of course, are bracelets, keychains and figurines. Experienced and inventive craftsmen manage to make many other things, for example, slippers or even a minion toy!

Crafts made from rubber bands differ greatly in the way they are made. Beginners can weave the simplest bracelets even on their fingers, but complex toys can only be made using a weaving machine.

Craft options

Without a machine at hand, you can use other available means for weaving bracelets. The most simple circuit to create a bracelet - a fish tail. To weave such a bracelet, you need to take elastic bands of one or several colors, put the first three elastic bands on two pencils or fingers, depending on how it is more convenient to weave. Each elastic band is put on the bases in a figure eight pattern. When three elastic bands are put on, you need to carefully remove the bottom one from the base so that it remains attached to the other two. Then another elastic band is added, the bottom one is removed, and so on. This is how the whole bracelet is woven.

The next most complex pattern is french braid. It is also very simple and is woven on two warps. The braiding technique is almost the same as the fishtail, but in two colors and with minor changes. Three elastic bands are put on (they should be one after the other in color), the first one should be a figure eight, the other two should be without twisting. Then the bottom elastic band is removed (same as on a fishtail). All subsequent elastic bands by color are put on through one, do not twist. Next, you will need to remove the central elastic band on one side and the bottom one on the other. Thus, changing sides each time, we weave a bracelet.

The “ladder” bracelet is loved by many needlewomen, but it is much more difficult to weave. To make such a decoration you will need at least four colors of elastic bands and two forks for the base. It is very convenient to use forks as a base - you get eight narrow teeth on which it is convenient to hang elastic bands. However, to perform such complex work, it is best to take a crochet hook; with the help of such a simple tool you can remove the required number of elastic bands at once and not lose them during weaving.

Bracelets, rings and even necklaces made from rubber bands will perfectly complement any everyday look, and toys made from rubber bands look great as keychains or pendants. To weave cute dolphins, dogs and monkeys, unfortunately, you still have to purchase a large weaving machine. The looms come in different sizes, depending on this they can have 4 or 8 warps for weaving (miniature versions), or three long rows and more than 12 warps.

The palette of rubber shades is also very diverse. You can find the most different options– iridescent and matte, transparent, multi-colored and monotonous.

Weaving from rubber bands is a great hobby that reveals creativity. Children from kindergarten I'll love this handicraft. It is also doubly good for children that weaving from rubber bands is completely safe - it does not require the use of a needle, scissors or small parts (for example, beads).
