Many people like to create jewelry with their own hands. Everyone has different motives for this: someone wants to become the owner of an exclusive, someone just likes to create, while others are chasing changeable fashion trends. At the same time, the most unusual materials are used. For example, this article will talk about how to make a paper bracelet.

The advantage of the material used

The fashion for paper decorations came to us from the distant 60s, along with other trends that returned from the past. This is an ideal material for creating something, because it keeps its shape perfectly and is very pliable, the main thing in working with it is patience and accuracy.

It would seem that paper is an extremely fragile base, but with additional fixation, it can withstand small mechanical loads, it is enough to have glue or varnish on hand. Before making paper with your own hands, you will also need to choose one of the many manufacturing options and, of course, the material used. Indeed, today there are a huge number of types of paper, different in color, density and texture.

What is required for work

To create a paper decoration you will need:

• PVA glue;
• ruler;
• A4 paper, preferably thick;
• marking pencil;
• large beads;
• thin transparent line.

How to make a paper bracelet step by step

This method involves the creation of beads, so it is quite laborious and complicated.

1. First you need to correctly mark the sheet into triangles. To do this, measure 2 cm to the right from the bottom edge and draw a line diagonally to the upper left corner. Then step back 3 cm from the new mark and connect it with a straight line to the old one in such a way that a triangle is obtained. By the same principle, you need to draw the entire sheet.
2. Cut out the resulting shapes.
3. Using a pencil, you need to twist the triangles into a roll, starting to wind the strips on a wooden base from the wide edge. Since making a paper bracelet in this way is a little difficult for a beginner, it is best to practice making it on unnecessary material, such as an old newspaper.
4. The thin tip will need to be smeared with glue before wrapping it around the pencil.
5. Having moved the bead to the very edge, it must be completely dipped in PVA and allowed to dry. If the bracelet requires a lot of elements, it is better to change the bead on a toothpick so as not to peel off the paper when trying to peel it off the pencil.
6. When all the beads are ready, the question is how to make a paper bracelet with your own hands? will disappear by itself, because here you can give free rein to fantasy.

Further, it all depends on how the creator himself wants to see the decoration. For example, paper beads can be alternated with those prepared in advance - then the bracelet will turn out thin, but long, or thick if a slightly different technology is used:

• The fishing line must be threaded into the bead at one end, while the other should be passed from the opposite side and pulled together so that they tightly wrap around the paper element.
• Put on a bead from each edge.
• With the next bead, you need to do similar manipulations, passing a fishing line through it from both sides. In fact, the same technology is used in beading, so for those who are familiar with this type of needlework, there should be no problems. The ends of the fishing line are fixed with a simple knot when the required length of the decoration is reached.

Origami technique: how to make a paper bracelet

For beginners, this method is best. All you need is paper and scissors. it doesn't matter, the main thing is bright colors. Therefore, to create decorations, it is better to take special origami paper, as it can be very beautiful and pleasant to the touch. The only disadvantage of such a bracelet is its relative fragility.

1. The paper needs to be divided into strips along the width of the sheet, in order to then cut them out. It is desirable that they are not very thin, otherwise it will be difficult to fold the elements in the future.
2. Then the cut strip must be folded lengthwise 4 times, bending the edges inside the workpiece, and then in half 3 times: in the middle and along the edges (the ends must be folded to the central fold, so that two pockets are obtained).
3. There are several such details.
4. The blanks should be connected in a zigzag manner, nesting one into the other (this is what "pockets" are needed for).
5. When the bracelet reaches the desired length, the ends are simply connected to each other in the same way as the rest of the elements.

Of course, there are many ways to make a paper bracelet, but the ones given here are the most common. Master classes on the Web are dedicated to them, which will help you deal with the tricks of creating jewelry.

Children's crafts for February 14 (Valentine's Day): do-it-yourself bracelets with paper hearts.

Bracelets with hearts - crafts for February 14

Heart bracelets are simple children's crafts made of paper for February 14, which can be made even with kids from three years old. Children can give such bracelets to each other, mother, grandmother or kindergarten teacher.

How to make a paper heart bracelet

For kids who do not yet know how to use scissors, to make crafts, give out ready-made bases for bracelets - strips of paper (best of all thick, for example, landscape), with cuts.

The length of the strip depends on the girth of the children's wrist - 3.5 - 4 cm must be added to this value for the clasp and a freer arrangement on the arm. Make cuts at a distance of 1.5 cm from each edge of the strip, one - to the middle of the width of the strip from below, the other - to the middle of the width of the strip from above.

The task of the children is to draw bright hearts on these strips on their own or using a template. The template must be made in advance from cardboard: cut a heart-shaped hole in the cardboard with nail scissors or a clerical knife. It is much easier for small children to trace the inner contour than to trace a small cardboard figure along the outer contour.

Paper is a very short-lived material, so such bracelets from it are disposable. They are torn along the cut lines made for fastening. To make the bracelet last longer, it can be pasted over with a transparent adhesive tape (adhesive tape).

Children who know how to cut can make strips for the base of bracelets according to the pattern on their own, and draw hearts either on the base or separately, then cut them out and glue them to the base.

Also, hearts can be cut out of paper-based foil, colored paper, wrapping paper, or even stick ready-made stickers with hearts.

To fasten the bracelet, you need to insert the ends of the paper strip into each other at the cuts. Put the bracelet on your hand with the clasp to the back of your wrist.

This is how one of these bracelets looks on the hand of my eldest daughter.

There are many ways to make paper bracelets. These are also bracelets made of paper beads, the various manufacturing technologies of which you can see on our website in the article "How to make paper beads". These are woven bracelets-pigtails made of thick paper rolled into bundles. But we will not delve into the variety of ways. Let's stop in the description on the simplest. This is an origami bracelet. Well, you can see additional, other ways in the video additions to our article.

Making a bracelet

To make an origami bracelet, we need twenty strips of paper, ten strips of two different colors. The strips should be twelve centimeters long and one and a half centimeters wide.

We fold all the strips in the same way. First, fold the strip in half. We iron the paper with your finger until a fold line is formed.

Straighten the strip. Then we bend the ends of the strip inward to the fold line, iron the new folds formed, and fold the fragment, as shown in the photo above. We prepare such fragments from all paper strips.

These are the fragments of different colors we get.

We take one of the fragments in the right hand, and press the folds a little so that it opens a little. Then we take another fragment, and we put the protruding parts into the formed "pockets".

Here it is - the first step of our bracelet.

Alternating colors, we form a chain according to the pattern described above: we push one fragment into another.

When the canvas of the bracelet is completely ready, we put the last fragment into the penultimate one, folding it only in half. This is done in order to make it more convenient for us to give the bracelet a complete, round shape.

We unfold the long strips of the last fragment. We place the initial fragment of the bracelet between them, and press it a little.

We put the tails of the last fragment, bending them inside the formed pockets. We iron the folds. The bracelet is ready.
