BEADED HAIR BAND

Send

Hair jewelry (hairpins, elastic bands, headbands, etc.) are a very important part for creating beautiful and original hairstyles. In stores, they are not cheap, but since there should be several pieces (of different shapes, colors) for each fashionista, you can do some with your own hands.
To make a beautiful hair band with your own hands, you will need the following materials: 2 bags of beads of different colors (in this case black and gold are used), thin fishing line, black elastic band 3 cm wide, black threads, a needle.
The dressing consists of two parts, woven from beads. First you need to determine the length of the product in order to correctly take the desired length of the fishing line. To do this, measure the length from one ear to the other along the top of the head. Multiply the resulting length by 4 - this will be the length of the fishing line, which you will need for one strip. Fold the fishing line in half to mark the middle. Take the black bead and dress exactly in the middle. Pull one end of the fishing line in the opposite direction of the bead and tighten.

On each end of the fishing line you need to string 3 beads of gold color, 1 black and again 3 gold.

Then put black bead on one end of the fishing line and pull the other end of the fishing line across the other side. Get a ring.

Similarly weave to the desired length of the product. This will be part 1.

The second part (part 2) of the bandage is woven in the same way, only you need to change the colors the other way around - for one ring you need to string 3 black beads, 1 gold, 3 black, one gold. And so on until the end. To make equal strips, count the rings in the first product and weave the same in the second.

When the two parts are ready, you can connect them. Each part at the ends will have 2 free fishing lines. Take the end with the fishing line of part 1 and attach to the beginning of part 2 (without lines). In the very initial bead of part 2, stretch two fishing lines of part 1 from different sides and tie it on a knot to fix it. Next, pull the first link of part 1 without lines to the first link of part 2 up, then to the second link down, etc. to end.

When the two beginning of part 1 converges with the end of part 2 together, stretch the two fishing lines into the first bead of part 1, tie it to a knot.

Double the gum and sew with black thread. So the gum will turn out tighter and will not stretch in the near future.

When the elastic is ready, stretch one end of the fishing line of the first strip into the needle and sew on one side of the elastic. Do the same on the other side.
