A bracelet in two hours? Absolutely yes!

There's nothing better than putting on or taking something you made yourself as an accessory! Do you know that feeling? If not, be sure to try it... And believe me, others will notice.

Are you wondering what original gift to give to your friend, mother, aunt or other woman? Do you want to be imaginative and give something unique? Make them a gift with your own hands! Try to create a bracelet that you can do in just two hours. You will be doubly happy - from your result and from the smile on the face of the recipient.

I myself have been practicing this approach for several years and I make most of the gifts myself. It's a great way to give something from the heart while enjoying the creative process of creating. In addition, you will be sure that no one else will have the same gift as you.

Don't be afraid to experiment and embark on your own projects. You will see that making a bracelet or other accessories will absorb you and bring you a lot of joy. And believe me, your surroundings will appreciate the originality and care you put into the gift.

So what are you waiting for? Start creating and make yourself and your loved ones happy with something that is made with love and with your own hands.

Tutorial

Choose the size of the canvas according to your needs (length according to the circumference of your hand and width according to your wish) and add 3-4 squares in all four directions for folding. String the selected strip of fabric or wool into the loop hook and loop the folded edge around by gradually stretching all the loops around.
   
The purpose of looping is to completely cover the canvas at the edges. When the hem is fully covered, pull out the end and leave about 5-10 centimeters of the end, which you can fully hide in the next rows by gradually looping.

Thread the inner yarn into the eye of the hook and tie its end with a simple knot anywhere on the canvas. At the end of the work, you untie it and hide it in the finished loops. Insert the hook through the canvas from top to bottom and use your other hand to pull the first canvas loop from the strip of fabric you want to start filling the interior with. Stick the hook down again and pull the next loop up (this second loop will also "lock" the end of the new strip of fabric). When you have +- 6 loops on the hook, you will put the entire hook through them with the inner yarn, which will lock the loops against ripping. Continue in this way in the pattern of your choice (around, horizontally, vertically, across, spiral, or create patterns like I did in this demonstration).
 
Sooner or later, you will find yourself in a situation where you start to run out of fabric and need to adjust it. Someone stitches the stripes, someone starts and ends after each strip... The procedure below has worked best for me. I fold the original and new strip by about 1.5 cm and cut a maximum of 0.5 cm long cut with scissors. I spread the fabrics and overlap them. I thread the new strip through the hole in the original strip. I pull the fabric through and pull more at the end (not too much so that the fabrics don't tear) and continue looping. The knots will be lost either between the loops or at the bottom of the canvas.
   
 
Continue to create your chosen pattern or just let your creative energy flow as I let it happen. When you have the bracelet fully looped inside, you need to finish all the ends that remain at the bottom of the canvas. This is done by using a tapestry needle or hook to pull the ends up onto the canvas and pull them through at least five finished loops in any direction and cut off the end.
   
   
   
I also liked beads in the color of the fabric used, so I sewed them in with a regular needle. Now all you have to do is attach a closing clip or string about 30 beads and make closing loops from them and sew on small buttons. There are no limits to your imagination here either.

Easy, right? Would you believe that a bracelet like this only took me 2 hours? Don't believe... So come to one of my courses and see how easy and amazingly creative looping is!
