Threads for weaving bracelets

The threads for working with beads are usually different, they can differ from each other in certain characteristics - thickness, density and even the degree of tension. Before you start creating a bracelet from beads or threads, you should choose the right material for weaving, which will make the creative process as comfortable as possible, and the result is the most beautiful.

If you dream of creating a beautiful, creative bracelet for yourself or to order on your own, then you simply cannot do without special threads for weaving bracelets.

Their main advantages.

• Such threads will not distort the braided image, thereby allowing you to make the product very beautiful.

• The material will not twist, will not tear if correctly selected for a specific product.

• The thread will not cause allergies while working. She will be as comfortable as possible at work.

When choosing a thread for weaving a bracelet, you must choose one that will not be visible in the finished product. Threads of this kind are often coated with a special composition, so that they become as strong as possible without weighing them down.

One of the most readily available materials for weaving bracelets is considered to be a special wire. Most often, this kind of wire is wound on spools, which may differ in size (depending on the thickness of the material).

If you are just starting to try yourself in weaving from beads, then it is best for you to opt for the simplest silver wire. It will not get confused, it will not be pulled into knots, with its help you can easily create the simplest bracelet. Such a wire has a huge amount of colors - from the usual color of copper and steel to red, pink, yellow, green tones.

All synthetic threads in terms of thickness are usually divided into fishing line and monofilament:

• monofilament - differs in section from 0.1 to 0.3 mm;

• line - has a diameter of 0.3 to 1.5 mm.

To create this kind of product, materials such as polyamide, nylon, polyethylene and other chemicals are used that can melt and stretch.

For attaching large pieces to baubles or beaded bracelets, a line will work better. And the elastic characteristics of monofilament can not always be considered its plus. Sometimes you have to fold the monofilament several times in order to better fix a specific place. And also monofilament is too smooth, unlike fishing line - the knots on it will tighten much better.

Many craftsmen, especially those who are just starting to learn the basics of weaving, when choosing a floss to create bracelets, first of all look at the colors needed for the weaving process. Although in fact, quality plays the main role in choosing a floss in this case. The quality of any braided bracelet and the complexity of the weaving process itself will directly depend on the quality characteristics of the threads. A bad floss can constantly get confused during weaving, and baubles can turn out to be dim and will not be worn for long.

Spandex is mainly used for weaving various pieces of jewelry from large and medium beads. First of all, these are bracelets and necklaces without clasps. Thanks to the elasticity and strength of this thread, they are easy to take off and put on, and they are also durable. The properties of the synthetic thread will allow the jewelry to serve for a long time without fear of moisture and friction.

This is a natural type of material, most often with an attractive palette of colors, very soft and the most pleasant to the touch... However, in terms of strength, such a thread will be inferior to reinforced and synthetic material. Natural threads, alas, will wear out very quickly.

Reinforced material for embroidery with beads is considered one of the best... However, this material is the result of a chemical reaction, for this reason, the possibility of an allergy to it cannot be ruled out.

It is used to create jewelry from light materials. Differs in high elasticity and ease of use, due to the fact that it is made of polyurethane.

In order to find the best threads for weaving bracelets, it is important to pay attention to several criteria.

• Quality characteristics of the selected material... The choice will depend on what exactly you want to use it for - to weave a hard or elastic bracelet.

• Colors... Of great importance in the selection of material for weaving is the color, or rather, its saturation. In some cases, it is best to choose a colorless thread that will not be visible in the garment.

• Manufacturer... Do not think that only expensive materials are of high quality, many cheap Chinese threads are great for working with beads.
