What is needed for the manufacture of the bracelet?

• Beads. Here we give free rein to their imagination, taste preferences. The choice is wide: beads can be plastic, glass, wood, made from any other material, they may be different in size, but the shape of the classical fenugreek it is better to use the round. When choosing beads should also pay attention to holes-hole, they should not be too narrow, so that the cord can pass them more or less freely. As for the number of beads, here too, everything is individual and depends on the size of the beads on the wrist circumference and on your preferences, but more often Shamballa bracelets with beads 8-11 main and 2 small beads for ropes clasp;
• Lace. The most commonly used waxed cord, it is sold in coils or the meter completely different colors. You can also use a synthetic, silky - in short, on what to choose. See that the cord passes through the holes of your beads. To make one bracelet Shambala it usually takes about 2-2.5 m, exactly is hard to say, it is better to take stock;
• The device, which is convenient to weave. You can take any wooden block or wooden cutting board, score two cloves at a distance of about 30 cm. You can think of something else, for example, attach the cord to the working surface of the plaster or adhesive tape. The main thing is that at least one end of the thread was fixed, but it's still more convenient when the two fixed;
• PVA glue or colorless nail polish, if you use waxed cord; universal glue or lighter (a match), if the cord is of a different quality;
• scissors;
• cm (range);
• a little patience, good humor and inspiration!

Description of the process of weaving

Let's get started. Sit down at the table and put in front of you made a device with two nails or figured out what to fix at least one end of the cord. By the way, you can use duct tape or adhesive plaster. Cut the cord about 40 cm, tie one end to the distal stud (or fixed on the working surface). That we will have the so-called thread-base. Cut off about 1 5 m column and the conventional tie knot per-thread basis, departing about 5 cm from the attachment so that the ends of the thread were the same, that is in the middle. Strung on a thread-base beads in sequence, how I would like to see the finished bracelet. Fix the other end of the thread base. Knotted at one end uzelochek, that is, so mark it, so you do not confuse the netting. Weaving is done on a circuit macrame.

Take the end of the cord with a knot and hold it under-thread basis and on the other end, and the edge node without thread-wire above the base and at the other end of the cord. Tighten the knot. Next, we continue to act in the same way and knit about 1, 5 cm. Then moves one bead and twist around it in the same way, tying the knot 2-3. Continue until all the beads braided, then knit for about 1, 5 cm nodules, as in the beginning. Tie a knot and cut the 1-2 working thread. Fix the cut site with white glue or varnish, if it waxed cord; superglue treat or melted by fire, if the cord is of a different quality.

Remove the finished bracelet with tools and begin to spin lock. To do this, we need about 40 cm of the cord. Fold bracelet that thread are parallel to each other, we connect their cord (ends must be the same). It weaves in the same manner as the woven bracelet length depends on the size of padlock wrist. The finished product should not be tightly encircle the hand. Clasp is expanded, and thus it is convenient to wear. Typically, the length of 1-3 cm. 2 knots to tie, cut the thread, fix the same way. At the ends we put a small bead, anchoring knots. Length "visyulek" - as you wish, but an average of about 4 cm.

Other bracelets Shambhala

Along with the classic bracelet Shambhala, exist and its variants. This double-row (double) and a triple bracelets.

To weave a double (double row) bracelet Shambhala, we need two warp length of 35-40 cm. Fasten them from the earlier method, each put on the required number of beads, the best of the same size. Working thread to tie a length of 1-1, 5 m.

Scourge 1, 5-2 cm nodule, then take a right and thread between the beads in a spiral winding our whole set. Now take a second thread, the first bead is not winding down and start to spiral in the opposite direction. If the bracelet starts spinning, it should press the tape to the work surface. Scourge 1, 5-2 cm nodules, as in the beginning, then make two ordinary assembly, cut off the excess thread anchoring adhesive (varnish). Clasp weave similar to the previous version. To thread twist, weaving was more convenient, you can hold them clip. We make tips beads reserve "tassels" of about 4 cm.

Triple bracelet weave using a 3 warp, each strung beads. Intertwine by connecting his own imagination. Clasp weave similar to the previous one. The beads can be worn on all ends, that is, 4 (for a double) and 6 (for the triple) bracelet, and all the ends can be fixed with a bead in such a case, the hole should be suitable.
