There are many different types of bead strands and they all differ from each other in their shape and design. This type of tourniquet is called spiral. It is woven quite simply and can serve as an everyday decoration both on the neck and on the arm. Its main advantage is the simplicity of weaving, which any novice craftswoman can handle. The flagellum is woven on one fishing line.
In order to weave a spiral strand we need:
- Fishing line or monofilament;
- Bead needle;
- Beads of three different sizes.
[justify] We put eight beads on the fishing line. The three red ones that come first will serve as the basis of the product, so their size should be slightly larger than the black and white ones.
With the end of the fishing line, which was used to collect the first eight beads, we pass through the first three beads.
As a result, a ring is formed.
We collect six more beads.
With the end of the fishing line we pass through three red beads, while skipping the very first one.
You should get two small rings.
In this way, you need to weave to the desired length.Be sure to ensure that when weaving, the second ring lies on the first, the third on the second, otherwise in the end it will not be possible to form a spiral.
Once the desired length has been achieved, you need to move on to the final part - designing the final look of the product. To do this, you need to take a new piece of fishing line or monofilament and pass it through the largest central bead of the first ring.
Pass the right end of the fishing line on the same side through the large bead of the next ring, pass the second end of the fishing line through the same bead only on the left.
In this way, all parts should be connected to each other.
For this kind of flagellum you don’t even need a fastener; it will look great if you simply tie the two edges of the fishing line together.
