Methods for tying a silicone thread (spandex). Master class: Making a bracelet based on an elastic silicone thread

In this tutorial, I want to show you how to make a bracelet with an elastic band (spandex, elastic thread). These bracelets have been very popular for a long time. And thanks to the variety of beads used, you can make a lot of jewelry, both beads and bracelets. They can be worn one at a time or several at once. By varying the quantity and color, every day you can look different.

I'll show you how to make a Swarovski pearl bracelet with an elastic band.

For the bracelet, I needed Swarovski pearls with a diameter of 10 mm.
Still need an elastic thread. Usually, the elastic thread is not round and consists of many thin threads.
But I have this gum. This elastic band is thin, similar to a fishing line, only stretches a little, round section with a diameter of 0.60 mm. The rubber band is very durable. If you pull it, it does not break. Perhaps someone has the same. Then my master class will help you.
The problem was that such an elastic band could not withstand a single knot. She just slipped and the knot untied. But I found a solution.

We cut off the elastic band much longer than the future bracelet. The free ends of the elastic should be of such length that it is convenient to tie them. Look at the photo below. We collect pearls on an elastic band.

Now the most important thing. An academic knot came up for my gum. There are quite a few varieties of knots, but this one was suitable for this gum.

We look at the photo below. Wrap (tie) 2 times. It should turn out like this twist.

Then tighten as tight as possible.

And again we wrap 2 times (we tie 2 times), trying not to dissolve the previous knots.

And we pull it tight.
It turned out here is such a node. Next, we pull the elastic thread alternately from the side of the beads and from the side of the free ends in order to tie as tightly as possible.

Cut off the edges as close to the knot as possible. We hide the knot under the fittings, for example, under the clamping bead.

Here's what happened.

In the set, I decided to make earrings with pearls too.
I'll show you how I made the earrings.

We fix pearls on pins. We make rings and attach to the fasteners.

Finished earrings.

I also made a transformer decoration. Can be worn like regular beads. And if you wind it on your wrist 3 times, you get a multi-row bracelet.

Decorations are ready!
The master class was prepared by Elena Smirnova.

There are many ways to assemble a bracelet.

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

In order 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 the elastic threads are from 0.4 to 2 mm. The most common are 0.5 and 0.8 mm. There are color options too. In our case, any is suitable (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 - this is up to your taste

- scissors

- a thin needle and a piece of ordinary thread about 20 cm long (make the job easier)

First, determine the size of your wrist. This is especially true if you want the bracelet to sit tight on your hand. Typically, wrist sizes for different people lie in the range of 15-19 cm. In addition, please note that the left and right wrists differ in size, right-handed people, as a rule, have a slightly thicker right hand. Therefore, it may well turn out that a bracelet made on the left hand and sitting well on it will put pressure on the right. Not much, but after a few hours of wearing it can cause discomfort. Of course, if you want to make a bracelet that dangles freely on your hand, these remarks will be irrelevant.

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

Collect beads and beads on an elastic thread as you like. The length of the dialed segment should be slightly larger than your wrist. Keep in mind that too narrow a bracelet will squeeze the hand, too wide will dangle. However, you can intentionally make a loose bracelet.

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

In the photo, the yellow arrow indicates the size of the wrist, the blue arrows indicate the possible options for completing the set. I do not recommend making the bracelet smaller than the wrist - it will press, and after a few hours of socks, traces will remain on the skin. It is always better to provide a small margin for a free fit. Moreover, for small beads, half a centimeter is enough, for large beads, even up to 2 centimeters may be needed - please note that the final inner diameter of your bracelet directly depends on the size of the beads.

After the beads are cast on, pinch the thread at the base of the beads and cut (the thread is not stretched!). You have free ponytails of about one and a half centimeters.

Now pull the thread and pull out the tails for another one and a half to two centimeters. 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:

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

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

Now about that how to tie an elastic thread?

The most important - do not knit a "regular" woman's knot - it will not hold!

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. Pay attention to the fact that it is knitted in a mirror (“in the other direction”) relative to the first (according to the principle of a direct knot).

Knot in a tightened state. It - . It is this knot that surgeons use to connect threads to each other 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:

In a tightened state, such a knot unfolds:

This is what a knotted elastic thread looks like:

And this photo shows a possible assembly 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, cut the ponytails at a distance of about one and a half millimeters from the knot. Additionally, the knot can be fixed with glue, but I do not do this.

The bracelet is ready!

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

Little tricks in working with elastic silicone thread

What if the thread is thin?

If you have a thin thread or you do not trust it, fold it in half.

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

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

The next photo does not show the loop into which one of the tails went, but it is clearly visible 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.

The disadvantages of this method: if beads with sharp edges are used in your bracelet (for example, glass beads or bead-cutting), over time, the warp thread may fray. If your bracelet is strung on a double thread as described above (according to method 2), then it is enough to fray one thread so that the bracelet crumbles. While the bracelet assembled according to 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 strongly stretched thread frays against the sharp edge of glass beads faster than a loosely stretched one. Therefore, do not save on a couple of centimeters of thread and do not pull it too hard. 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.

Cropped tails sticking out between the beads are visible, what should I do?

Any knot should be hidden inside the nearest bead. But if the knot passes through the bead freely, sooner or later it will come out anyway, and the tails will treacherously peek out. This is especially unpleasant when the thread is a different color from the beads. In this case, I recommend fixing the knot inside the bead with glue: drop any transparent glue on the knot and hide it in the bead. Now, when worn, the bead will reliably hide the junction of the thread.

Where else can silicone thread be used?

Bracelets are not the only application of silicone thread. With it, you can make, for example, such cute rings:

Jewelry assembled on a silicone thread, in my opinion, is perfect for children's jewelry: it is quickly made and altered, easy to put on and take off, assembly is not difficult and is accessible to a child. Perfect for any little fashionista!

But I would not consider such an assembly as a purely “childish” or “summer” option. For example, Spaniards are very fond of wearing bracelets, different, from baubles from a pair of laces to massive gold chains. And such bracelets, assembled on an elastic thread, are worn by everyone - from schoolgirls to respectable aged seniors. Often these are bracelets made of large beads, with pendants and metal inserts. Moreover, as a rule, they wear several pieces at once and to any outfit - from sports-loose jeans to strict dresses.

Self-tightening knot - what is it

Most types of knots and how to knit them came to the modern world from the fleet, although in this area it is used infrequently due to its unreliability. The fact is that a self-tightening knot holds tightly only under a constant load; at the moment of weakening, it is quite capable of being untied. Despite this, there are areas for its application.

This is the simplest original knot and in general is one of the simplest types of noose. This knot reliably withstands a lot of weight and traction, proportional to the strength of the cable or other material from which it is made. But you need to be careful when using it, making sure that the load on the node does not weaken.

For better reliability, there are several variations of this node.

knot knitting

The methods of knitting this knot are among the simplest and fastest. All you need to create it is a rope with a running end and a support. Fishermen use a spool for this purpose.

The end of the rope is wrapped around the support, thus forming an open loop. At the end of the rope or fishing line, you need to form a loop. First make a winding around it behind the running end and wind up a closed loop. The running end of the loop must be made several turns and brought out through the main loop. Pull on it, the knot will tighten and, when loaded, will show all its power.

To improve the strength of the knot itself, when knitting, a self-tightening knot with half bayonets is used. It is performed no more complicated than the standard one. After completing the basic knitting technique, two half-bayonets are formed from the weight side. This type achieves the maximum effect when certain conditions are met:

if it is not formed in the center;
if the running end should be directed towards the intended load.

Where applicable

In all spheres of life, he will find his place. It is often used in mountaineering, in warehouses (they are used for hanging heavy objects). Fishermen use while knitting gear for fishing from the shore.

Shock-absorbing nodes are popular. They are formed on an additional rope, which is used to combine a spare attachment in case of destruction of the main one. There are also self-tightening knots for transporting goods or for various rescue operations. These include the braking unit, "belts" and mariner.

There are two types of mounts - simple and complex, for different life situations. In the Navy, the original self-tightening knot is rarely used, giving preference to its variations.

Fastening

The mount is often popular with fishermen. Although experienced fishermen have suggested tying a self-tightening line knot without additional details, using them makes life much easier. The fastening helps to fix the loops during knitting, prevents the knot from abruptly unraveling, and simplifies the knitting process. On the shelves of fish stores, you can now see reels with a stopper for attaching the braid. Many anglers reel in the line held by the spool without any extra fasteners, but only those who have gotten their hands on it over many years of experience.

Kinds

In total, there are 18 types of self-tightening knots, but using one rope, only 4 types:

● Classic Prusik.

● Cross.

● With carabiner "arb".

● Bachmann knot (with carabiner).

The number of turns is unstable, if necessary, it can be increased.

“> It is necessary to single out one of the strongest knots - the constrictor knot. It takes its name from the zoological name of the boa constrictor, which defeats its prey by strangulation. This self-tightening rope knot is secure, made using rounded objects instead of a support. As soon as the support disappears, it dissolves itself.

Use of the knot by anglers

The self-tightening knot for the crown is actively used by fishermen. It is a structure made of a bar of cake with a weight. It is quite simple to tie such a tackle. «>

To do this, you need a fishing line, a double leash and a sinker. A special sinker must be purchased at the store, otherwise the whole device may become unsuccessful. Most often, it looks like a horseshoe with a hole in the center of the product. The cake bar is tightened with a self-tightening knot and hung with hooks.

To decorate the gear, a fishing line is taken 4 mm in diameter and up to 50 cm in length. The fishing line is pushed through the hole into the sinkers to the middle, after which it is brought up. Insulation is put on it, and a loop is made. After that, a self-tightening knot is formed, on which the crown is attached. The insulation serves as a fastening for a long leash on the side of the free end of the fishing line, on which the swivel is attached, in order to protect the fishing line from twisting in the current. By securing the cake bar with hooks, you can consider that the task is completed. The blank is attached with a carabiner to the main line. The bait is ready to be cast. Getting into the water, it gradually gets wet, and the crumbling cake from the cake spreads in the reservoir, enticing the desired fish.

Nautical

Initially, a self-tightening rope knot was created by sailors to fasten sails and various items on deck. Reliable nodes are the key to success, because the seas and oceans are so restless. During the heyday of navigation, there were more than 500 types of knots. Knitting sea knots is a whole science. But with the introduction of the steam engine, the need for sails disappeared, knots began to be used less. And the change in the composition of the materials of cables and ropes caused some knots to lose their effectiveness.

A self-tightening knot in maritime affairs was used to attach to cylindrical objects. It is simply called a noose, since the noose for the gallows was tied according to the same principle. In the absence of load or with variable traction, the running end slips out, dissolving the entire assembly. This was the reason for the refusal to use it. Therefore, the Navy began to use the knot constrictor and self-tightening with half bayonets. The peculiarity of its knitting is that the knot itself is placed with an offset, so that the running end is directed towards the load. Due to this, it will not slip out so quickly.

Advantages

The self-tightening knot gained its recognition primarily due to its ease of knitting and high efficiency. Despite the unreliability, it is often used, but in the case when you are sure of the presence of permanent weighting. When forming a node, no additional materials or devices are required. The main task with which he copes brilliantly is to withstand a load proportional to the density of the cable (rope, fishing line, cable) from which the knot is knitted.

In the presence of constant weighting, the knot is not able to untie on its own, only manually, which will also not cause trouble. It unties just as easily as it ties. This advantage was appreciated by fishermen and climbers, for whom every second is precious. This property makes this node a leader.

Even a child can learn to knit a noose, and proper use contributes to the maximum realization of the expected result - reliable retention of a large weight.

The easiest way to assemble a bracelet is with an elastic band. Use strong, reliable thread. If the thread is thin and stretches too much, or you are worried that it will fray, then it is better to take it in several additions. For assembly on an elastic band, it is better not to use heavy beads (large glass or stone) or beads with sharp holes. For such bracelets, a jewelry cable is more suitable.

To work, you need an elastic band, I use a thick silicone thread 1.2 mm thick, the code on the site is 351-011. It is soft, so you need another needle. If your thread is thinner, then use it in several additions. We select any suitable beads and decorative elements. I have metal cast hats and crystal translucent beads. Polymer clay beads made using mokume-gane technique:

I string beads on a thread. For easier threading into the eye of the needle, I melt the edge of the thread a little, there is no solid drop on this thread during melting, but the fibers become more ordered:

I tie the ends of the thread in a knot, the bracelet is ready. Read more about nodes below:

For securing synthetic threads, elastic, spandex and fishing line better use the following nodes:

Look like him academic node:

Also reliable flemish knot:

Another knot that is very difficult to untie is water node, suitable for gum:

Also good for fishing line and synthetics furrier knot:

Great Lian Knot:

These knots all work well for costume jewelry, but come in different sizes, volumes, and patterns. If this is not important for the thin thread that I use, then for a round thick elastic band or waxed cord it can matter, so before making a product, it is better to practice on a piece of thread.

Now a few words about nodes, which should not be applied:

oak knot don't come near t for fixing synthetic threads and fishing line. When pulled, it slides easily and unties:

Also, it doesn't fit. Babi knot, although it is so common in everyday life. He will not be able to hold the gum at all:

The same insidious Mother-in-law's knot, also not for our purposes:

weaving knots well suited for threads, but slip on an elastic band:

The drawings and description of the properties of knots are taken from L.N. Skryagin's book "Sea Knots", I tested them practically on an elastic band.

Here are some more photos of bracelets for example. Using different fittings and beads, we can change the style of the bracelet.

This bracelet uses crystal beads of different sizes, a figured spacer bead, bead caps, a pendant holder, a connecting ring and a pendant with a sparkle effect:

In this work, polymer beads Natasha beads, crystal beads, bead caps and spacer beads with spirals:

These simple bracelets have a minimum of detail. Striped resin beads and wooden beads. With purple beads I put glass beads without faceting 6 mm.

Bracelet with rose pendant, crystal beads, polymer beads decorated with caps for jewelry. The rosette is attached to the bail with the help of a connecting ring.

To complete the collection, I will add a link to another master class. How to stretch an elastic band inside a long hollow tube. Description link. Briefly, a loop of jewelry cable or wire is inserted inside the bracelet, a soft elastic band is hooked into it, when the cable is pulled out, the elastic band is also removed from the other side:

Good luck and creative mood! I hope that you will get the most beautiful and reliable bracelets!

Application

Self-tightening knots are used not only by climbers and sailors. Some sources claim that there are about twenty such schemes. Knowing them all is not necessary even for a professional. But some universal combinations can be useful to a simple layman.

When relaxing in nature, the “constrictor” knot will securely fix the hammock, the “gazebo” knot will help to equip a canopy from the rain. For hostesses, there is a “burlak sea loop” if it becomes necessary to pull a clothesline from sagging or organize drying for collected medicinal herbs. When walking a dog, sometimes it becomes necessary to leave the pet securely tied to a support for a while. A simple "cow knot" will come in handy. It knits easily and quickly allows you to release the leash.

Self-tightening knots for fishing line should be in the arsenal of any fisherman. They are also useful for securely fastening the boat. For those going on a mountain hike, knowing the knots for belay equipment is a must.

Peculiarities

The principle of operation of such schemes is laid down in the definition itself. When one or both ends of the rope are pulled, the knot is tightened. Moreover, the stronger the force, the stronger the connection will be. But it should be remembered that some self-tightening knots reliably “work” only with constant tension. If the force is expected to change or be jerky, the connection may loosen.

Self-tightening knots are tied around any secure support. They hold especially well on a non-slip cylindrical base: a tree trunk, a stump, a branch, a power pole, and the like. The simplest knitting pattern involves only three movements. They form a semicircle, wrapping the free end around the base.

Continuing the movement, it is brought under the main rope and passed into the now formed loop. In fact, this is the same knot as when tying shoelaces. But in the loop formed during its formation there is a support. Now, when pulling the main rope, the free end will be pressed against a hard surface, which will prevent the structure from untying.

Varieties

To increase the reliability of the scheme described above, you can do a few more simple manipulations. After tightening the knot, the free end is re-thrown around the support, wound behind the main rope and passed into the newly formed loop. Such a knot is called "with a half bayonet." You can make one, two or more reinsurances, if the length of the rope allows. Such self-tightening knots will be more perfect, they will stay on the support even with a variable load.

In order not to be afraid of accidentally untying them at all, you can use a “constrictor”. From Latin, this translates as "boa constrictor." And these reptiles, as you know, when holding the victim, form very strong rings. The constrictor is often impossible to untie at all and the rope has to be cut. However, if you do not apply excessive force, the knot will do a good job of tightening the neck of the bag, and securing the clothesline. In case of emergency, it is best suited to clamp a damaged artery or vein during bleeding.

Circuit variant

More complex knots are based on basic combinations. So, based on the above diagram, you can make several more connection options, including self-tightening knots for fishing line. On the one hand, they become a little more difficult to perform, but on the other hand, they make the basic combination universal. Depending on the situation, you can easily switch from it to other types of fasteners.

For example, the simple self-tightening knot described above can be made quickly untied. To do this, before tightening the loop, the free end of the rope is passed in the opposite direction (not completely) to form another loop. For the resulting free “tail”, if necessary, you can pull to effortlessly untie the fasteners. The scheme in this design is called the "boat assembly". At the same time, it keeps the boat well on the pier and allows you to quickly sail away from the shore, only by pulling on the edge of the rope.

Complication

Using a simple self-tightening knot as a basis, you can easily move on to the noose pattern. To do this, before tightening, the free end is wrapped three times around the rope that formed the loop. With uniform tightening, the connection is securely fixed due to repeated pressing force to the support. It is problematic to untie such a knot without loosening the main rope.

A self-tightening knot with a loop can be useful in everyday life for shortening a sagging clothesline. With it, you can temporarily "hide" (make inactive) a section of the cord with damaged fibers, which theoretically can break under load. The advantage of the "burlak sea loop" knot is its ability to tie on any section of a fixed rope that does not have free ends.

There may be several options. The easiest is if there is already a loop of rope or fishing line at one end of the bracelet. This is done because it is difficult to work with one hand without outside help. In this case, a massive decorative knot is knitted at the other end.

It should be of such a size that it can butt-fit through the hole in the hinge. The knot is knitted with the expectation that when it is “fastened”, the strap will need to be slightly pulled. After threading into the eyelet, the force will be weakened, but the loop will not be able to come off on its own.

So that the self-tightening knot for the bracelet cannot accidentally untie, it is easiest to use the scheme described above. The free end is threaded into the eyelet, turned in the opposite direction, wound under the main ribbon and passed into the loop formed. You can use for these purposes and the variants of the schemes shown in the photographs above.

Fishing: how to make a self-tightening knot

Oddly enough, in order to fix the end of the fishing line (cord) on the reel, in principle, you can use the same simple scheme, especially if you additionally strengthen it with two or more “half-bayonets”, and even put a layer of adhesive plaster on top. However, fishermen usually use a different scheme for this - with a tightening loop.

For the convenience of such fastening, the spool is removed from the reel. A loop is knitted at the end of the fishing line in any convenient way. It is best to do this with the "eight", but this is not important. After that, at a certain distance (15-20 cm) from the formed knot, the main fishing line is captured, folded in half and threaded through the eye.

The new loop thus formed is pulled over a sufficient distance so that the diameter of the circle makes it possible to put it on the spool. Self-tightening knots on the spool with a sealing loop, on the one hand, will keep the line from slipping, and on the other hand, allow it to be removed and changed if necessary, without cutting the connections. If the loop still slips, it means that it was placed on the wrong side when putting it on the spool, and it should be rotated 180 degrees.

The slip knot is an indispensable tool for making simple jewelry. Having learned how to tie such a knot, you can turn any rope or cord that is in the house into a bracelet or beads. And no special hardware! Even just the rope itself will be decorative. But jewelry with single pendants is especially cool: beads, charms, large pendants. Moreover, you can also create these pendants with your own hands. For example, to make a bead from felt and beads - using this example, we will show how to make an ornament from a cord with two slip knots. Even preschool children can be taught how to tie a slip knot and create simple jewelry with their own hands. After all, such a knot is no more difficult than a “bow” on a lace. And another great feature of this fastening is that you can adjust the size of the bracelet or necklace according to your desire. And this size will be easy to change.

How to make a slipknot for jewelry.

In jewelry, the color of the cord is, of course, the same color, but for convenience, we will show how to tie a slip knot using different cords.
The red cord slides easily into the knot.
We put the red cord evenly, make a loop from the yellow cord and place it next to the red cord.
With the tip of the yellow cord, we begin to wrap around the loop and the red cord, rising up to the loop. Try to put the coils tightly next to each other.

Make three turns (you can make any number of turns, starting with one).
Insert the end of the yellow cord into the loop.
Pull the yellow cord from the bottom of the knot.

The loop will tighten and you will have a beautiful slipknot.

So, firstly, use an elastic thread to keep the bracelet stationary. So it will not tear when worn and will not fall off the hand. Secondly, when you have finally collected it, cut the thread. You should have free ends about an inch and a half. Stretch the thread and pull the ends a couple of centimeters. First, make a half-knot: take one end of the thread and hold it with your hand, and the second at this time will need to be circled near the first. Happened? Now make a second half-knot like this.

How to fix the thread finally? Many needlewomen do this: in the first half-knot, they twist the thread twice. In the second half-knot, the thread is wrapped around only once. In other words, you are mirroring the very first node. This is how the surgical knot is obtained. Why surgical? Yes, because surgeons connect the threads during the operation in this way.

So you tightened the knot, cut off the ends of the thread at a distance of about one and a half millimeters, now put them in the nearest beads. Some use glue, fixing for greater reliability. Well, if you can avoid getting glue on the bracelet, then give it a try. Each needlewoman has her secrets.

Try this node option. Pass one end of the thread through the loop on the other side. Now move the knot away from the loop and tie the ends of the thread with each other. True, this is not a very good option, since the sharp edge of the beads can break even a thread folded in half.

Slipknot

«>

To tie such a knot, you need a little patience and a bit of 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, weave a bracelet. And now - attention, we tie a knot! Take the ends of the cord with your hand, so that there is a margin of 14 centimeters on each side, direct them towards each other.

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

Point the left tip from left to right, circle the eyelet and part of the lace with it several times, and then carefully lay the resulting “folds” in the opposite direction from you. Make three more such turns, holding the knot with your finger and adjusting the tension of the cord. Now pass the left and right tips through the resulting loop so that they can be pulled into a knot. Just do not tighten it very much, because the coils should move freely. So we made the first knot.

We proceed to the next, 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, for which wrap it around it five times with a free tip and tighten the knot. It turned out a loop into which you need to thread the remaining end of the cord. What's left can be cut off. For a special effect, the tips can be glued using universal glue.

Sometimes the 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 tie a knot 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, worn on your left hand, fits inside the loop. Now we skip the loop under the bracelet and pull it out from under the bracelet. We release the left hand from the loop, release the thread and pull it. It turns out 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, which is on your hand. You thread the loop through the hole of another loop tied on your arm, and throw off the resulting knot on a thread.

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

Usually a person has several knot schemes in his arsenal. They are quite enough for the belt, to connect the ends of the rope in case of a break. To make a knot for a tie, to “build” an elegant bow, to mount fishing tackle, practice is already required. Everyone can take a step forward and learn how to knit self-tightening knots. It will take a piece of rope, a little time and desire. In addition, many of the simple schemes are useful for domestic needs.

Application

For fishing line should be in the arsenal of any fisherman. They are also useful for securely fastening the boat. For those going on a mountain hike, knowing the knots for belay equipment is a must.

Peculiarities

The principle of operation of such schemes is laid down in the definition itself. Pulling one or both ends tightens. Moreover, the stronger the force, the stronger the connection will be. But it should be remembered that some self-tightening knots reliably “work” only with constant tension. If the force is expected to change or be jerky, the connection may loosen.

Continuing the movement, it is brought under the main rope and passed into the now formed loop. In fact, this is the same node as with But, in the loop formed during its formation, there is a support. Now, when pulling the main rope, the free end will be pressed against a hard surface, which will prevent the structure from untying.

Varieties

In order not to be afraid of accidentally untying them at all, you can use a “constrictor”. This translates from Latin as "boa constrictor". And these reptiles, as you know, when holding the victim, form very strong rings. The constrictor is often impossible to untie at all and the rope has to be cut. However, if you do not apply excessive force, the knot will do a good job of tightening the neck of the bag, and securing the clothesline. In case of emergency, it is best suited to clamp a damaged artery or vein during bleeding.

Fishing: how to make a self-tightening knot

The new loop formed at the same time is stretched a sufficient distance to allow it to be put on the spool. Self-tightening knots on the spool with a sealing loop, on the one hand, will keep the line from slipping, and on the other hand, allow it to be removed and changed if necessary, without cutting the connections. If the loop still slips, it means that it was placed on the wrong side when putting it on the spool, and it should be rotated 180 degrees.

Instruction

The first thing to do is to prepare a cotton cord of medium thickness, about 90 centimeters long. Put on it the necessary decoration element: 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 is directed outward and located on the edge. Lock 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 ride on the left node.

Point the left end of the cord from left to right, circling it around the loop and part of the cord several times, and then carefully lay the resulting “twists” in the opposite direction from you. Make 2-3 such turns, holding node fingers and control the tension of the cord. After that, pass the right and left ends through the loop formed so that they can be tightened into node. In this case, it is not necessary to tighten it too much, since the turns should move freely along the cord.

Now that the first node ok done, proceed to the second. 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 it around it several times with the free end, and then tighten node. The remaining end of the cord should be threaded into the loop formed (the remaining excess can be safely cut off). At the end of all actions, it makes sense to glue the ends of the cord for reliability.

The culture of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome had a significant impact on the development of global culture, literature, and poetry. The works of ancient writers, existing 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 was called Phrygia in ancient times. Currently, it is the western and central territory of Turkey. The ancient city of Gordion was the capital of the once powerful Phrygian kingdom in Asia Minor. Many Phrygian kings bore the famous name Gordius, so it is assumed that the myth contains a collective image of the rulers of the 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 the death penalty was supposed for the murder or theft of the latter. It can be assumed that gold deposits existed on the territory of Phrygia. Legends and tales about the gift of Midas are unlikely to have appeared from scratch.

Legend of the Gordian Knot

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

The 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 could unravel the knot would rule the world. True, apparently, the power over Phrygia was mentioned. How great was the number of people who wanted to unravel this knot, one can only guess.

What tied the Gordian knot

According to legend, a drawbar was connected to a yoke with an intricate knot of dogwood bark.

The slip knot is an indispensable tool for making simple jewelry. Having learned how to tie such a knot, you can turn any rope or cord that is in the house into a bracelet or beads. And no special hardware! Even just the rope itself will be decorative. But jewelry with single pendants is especially cool: beads, charms, large pendants. Moreover, you can also create these pendants with your own hands. For example, to make - using her example, we will show how to make a decoration from a cord with two slip knots. Even preschool children can be taught how to tie a slip knot and create simple jewelry with their own hands. After all, such a knot is no more difficult than a “bow” on a lace. And another great feature of this fastening is that you can adjust the size of the bracelet or necklace according to your desire. And this size will be easy to change.

How to make a slipknot for jewelry.

Make three turns (you can make any number of turns, starting with one).
Insert the end of the yellow cord into the loop.
Pull the yellow cord from the bottom of the knot.

The loop will tighten and you will have a beautiful slipknot.

How to use a slipknot, we will show on a pendant with a bead made of felt and beads.

We make the bead the same as for.

We remove the toothpick from the bead and thread the cord through the hole formed.
If desired, the bead can be firmly fixed in the middle of the cord by making a few stitches through the felt and the cord. On the edge, you can make clusters of beads by sewing them directly to the cord, as in beads made of felt and beads.
We make sliding knots on both sides of the bead.
The ends of the cord can be shaped in two ways.
The first way: you can cut them close to the slip knot. If the cord is synthetic, we recommend singeing the ends of the cord.
The second way to decorate the ends of the cord: leave the ends long, and at the end you can put on a bead or decorate with beads, as in
