DIY SHAMBHALA BRACELET

Send

Shamballa bracelets are considered to be fashionable bracelets of 2013-2014. These bracelets are considered not only a fashionable decoration, but also a charm that protects against everything bad. These bracelets have gained popularity since Tibet, it was they who protected people from evil spirits and poor surroundings. Now, these bracelets can be learned to weave yourself, and wear them absolutely with any outfits. Why are they good and unique? In Shambhala, you can use completely different stones, both natural and artificial. They can also be of the most diverse shapes. In this master class, we will just master the weaving of the Shambhala bracelet from natural stones.
For weaving we need:
Black waxed cord, need about 2.5 meters, cord thickness 1 mm;
Natural stones: we need 1 cm in diameter - 1 tiger eye, 4 aventurines, 8 mm in diameter - 4 pieces of tiger eyes mixed with aventurine and 2 tiger eye stones with a diameter of 5 mm;
Two separators with rhinestones - rondelli;
PVA glue;
Manicure scissors;
Lighter;
Any item with a handle or loop so that you can fix the cord for easy weaving.

We cut two cord cuts, one 60 cm, and the second 120 cm. We will have a short cord in the center, so we will call it “central”. We back off about 10 cm and tie a cord to the handle of the cup.

Pass the second cord from the bottom and tie it to a knot. Now we take the left cord, folding it with a ring, put it under the center one.

We also fold the right cord into a half-ring and, conversely, put it on top of the central cord. Now we pass the right cord into the left loop from above, and we pass the left cord from below into the right loop. Tighten the knot tightly. This is our semi-node. We start the second part of the knot on the contrary: we place the right cord with a half ring under the central one, and overlay the left one with a half ring on top. We loop in and out and tighten the second half of the knot. We get a full double knot.

Just weave five double knots.

Now we take the stones and roughly lay out the desired sequence of stones on the bracelet.

We put a bead of mixed stone on the central cord and braid it with a double knot.

In total, we braid four stones. Now we string the rondell, the stone of the tiger's eye and again the rondell. We fasten the whole combination with a double knot.

We add the remaining four stones.

When the last stone is fixed, weave, as in the beginning five double knots. Tightly tightened on the last and cut, leaving small tips. We apply glue near the loop itself so that when the cord is cut, it does not open. We are drying. We put a small tiger eye on one end and tie a knot on the edge.

Cut the cord 30 cm, we will make the lock. We measure the bracelet by the hand, fold it with a ring, thread the cord, tie a knot. And also weave seven double knots.

On the last loop we tighten more tightly, cut off, smear the cord with glue at the place of cutting.

We cut off at the tie points. We put a bead on the other end and tie it. We tighten the lock and the "Shambhala" is ready. Good luck and thank you for your attention!
