Basic ways of weaving from rubber bands

There are two main ways of weaving from rubber bands:

• On the machine;
• On the slingshot.

You can do the work without these tools, but it will not be so neat, and stretch the rubber will be more difficult.

All complex work is usually done on the machine, as it implies several rows at once, for which you can hook the rubber bands. On this device you can make various bracelets (dragon scales, French braid and others), as well as crafts and key chains.

To make a simple and thin bracelet, it will be enough to use a slingshot, in which there are only two prongs, to fix the rubber bands.

Consider how to weave cherry from rubber bands on various devices and different techniques. Let us first analyze one of the ways of weaving, which is considered to be the simplest and is used for weaving twigs in berries.

How to weave bracelet chain

A chain bracelet is the easiest way to make gum weaving, on which everyone gets the basics of craftsmanship.

To work you will need elastic bands of contrasting colors. Weave such a pattern on any machine or slingshot. We will consider the fastest way - on the fingers.

Step-by-step process of weaving:

1. Take one rubber and, having twisted it with the figure-eight, put on the index and middle fingers.
2. From above put on, no longer twisting, another rubber band.
3. Remove the bottom from your fingers.
4. Do not twist, put your fingers on the fingers again with the correct color.
5. Take off the bottom. Continue this weaving to the desired length.

That's how you can weave the simplest bracelet, which even a novice amateur creator can easily cope with. Now consider how to weave a cherry, where the twigs will be made just by a chain.

Cherry on the machine

Cherry from a rubber band is a great idea for a keychain or just a souvenir, as well as for decorating pencils and pens. Weave them in many different ways. Consider first how to weave the cherries on the machine.

You will need:

• Silicone rubber bands of red and green color;
• machine.

Step-by-step instructions on how to weave cherries from rubber bands on the machine:

1. String on the column two red gum. One end - on the right column of the middle row, the second - on the first three fastenings around the first.
2. Diagonally, on the first, second and third columns, string three pairs of mid-range rubber bands.
3. Twist one elastic band of red color into three turns and string it on the second column in the middle row, completing the weaving.
4. Then, crochet, alternately, two loops of rubber bands on the tooth to which they refer.
5. Now you need to hook the hooks of the rubber bands of the extreme columns and throw them on the middle.
6. Pull the green rubber with the hook through the maximum number of red.
7. Now we make twigs from green carvings in the classical "chain" technique.
8. We connect the twigs together and the work is ready.

Weaving on the machine complex seems only at first glance, when you learn the basic elements, the question of how to weave a cherry, you will not arise.

Cherries from rubber bands on a slingshot

Now we move on to another method, consider how to weave cherries from gum without a machine.

To work will require a rubber band also red and green and a hook.

Progress:

1. On the teeth of the slingshot, the first 2 red bands are put on, twisted into the number "eight". The following rubber bands need not be twisted.
2. We put four red bands on the teeth.
3. We crochet all twisted elastic bands and discard from the teeth of the slingshot.
4. One rubber band in green strings on the slingshot.
5. We collect all the red crochets and drop them on the green rubber band.
6. Then remove the construction from the slingshot and tie a green loop with a knot. This is necessary for fixation.
7. To make twigs, continue the weaving in green color with an ordinary chain.
8. The ends of the chains must be connected by fixing loops.

In such an uncomplicated way, you learned how to weave from the rubber bands on the slingshot of a cherry. There are also ways of making these berries, for example, using only a hook.

How to weave cherries on a hook

To weave the cherry on the hook, you need 56 rubber bands of red and 13 green colors.

Instructions for use:

1. One red rubber band, twisted three times, is threaded onto the hook.
2. Then two red ones are put on the hook, and then through it you carry a triple one.
3. The loop that turned out should also go to the hook, and then string another 2 gums of the same color. They carry 4 loops on them.
4. In the same way, continue to weave, throwing 2 gum and transferring 4 loops each to get a pigtail.
5. Now the hook should be put on the first loop, which was at the bottom of the product to give the berry a round shape.
6. The next two gum already take off the triple loop, and the second end of it is fixed on the hook. There must be a figure with the same number of loops on both sides.
7. Continue to weave in the same way, only on new elastic bands string on two twisted pairs, and their opposite edge carry on the hook, next to the previous ones.
8. Now we weave a green rubber band, for this, through the resulting loops, pass the green rubber, for this, transfer to it a pair of red ones and repeat the done until the desired result is obtained.
9. So you finish the work on the first cherry to fix it, you need a second one, which you do on the same principle.
10. Then through the cherry twigs let one green rubber band in and tighten it with a fixing loop.

Now you know how to weave a cherry in many different ways. And everyone chooses the right one for himself. And since this is a creative work, you can come up with your own way of making it.
