Tuto - faire un bracelet brésilien d’amitié bff 💖 (bracelet brésilien rond)

Introduction

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a Brazilian friendship bracelet, also known as a round bracelet. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process, including how to make a cardboard support to simplify your crafting experience. This bracelet is not only a fun DIY project but also a meaningful gift for friends.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before you begin crafting, ensure you have all the necessary materials:

• Embroidery floss or thread (choose your favorite colors)
• Scissors
• Cardboard (for the support)
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Tape or glue (optional)

Step 2: Create the Cardboard Support

A sturdy support will help you keep your bracelet organized as you work. Follow these steps:

1. Measure and Cut

   • Cut a piece of cardboard to approximately 10 cm x 10 cm.

2. Mark the Center

   • Find and mark the center of the cardboard square using your ruler and pencil.

3. Create Slots

   • On each side of the cardboard, cut small slits about 1 cm long, spaced evenly apart. These will hold your threads in place.

4. Secure the Cardboard

   • Optionally, use tape or glue to reinforce the structure if needed.

Step 3: Prepare the Threads

Now that your support is ready, it's time to prepare your threads:

1. Cut the Threads

   • Cut several lengths of embroidery floss, each about 80 cm long. Use 4-6 threads for a thicker bracelet.

2. Organize the Colors

   • Arrange the threads in the order you want them to appear in your bracelet.

3. Tie a Knot

   • Align the threads together and tie a knot at one end, leaving about 5 cm of thread length for tying later.

4. Insert Threads into the Cardboard

   • Place the knotted end through the center slit of the cardboard support, then secure each thread in the slots you created earlier.

Step 4: Start Weaving the Bracelet

With your threads secured, you can start weaving your bracelet:

1. Select the First Thread

   • Choose the outermost thread on the left side to begin.

2. Weaving Technique

   • For a basic knot:
     • Take the chosen thread and make a "4" shape over the next thread.
     • Pull the end of the thread under and through the loop created.
     • Pull tight to secure.
   • Repeat this process across all threads, alternating sides.

3. Continue Weaving

   • Keep weaving in this manner until your bracelet reaches your desired length (typically around 15-20 cm).

Step 5: Finishing the Bracelet

Once you have reached the desired length, it’s time to finish your bracelet:

1. Tie a Final Knot

   • Gather all threads and tie a tight knot at the end.

2. Trim Excess Thread

   • Cut any excess thread, leaving about 1-2 cm for tying.

3. Create a Closure

   • You can either tie the ends together or create a sliding knot for adjustable sizing.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully made a beautiful Brazilian friendship bracelet. This project is not only a great way to express your creativity but also a thoughtful gift for your friends. Feel free to experiment with different colors and patterns for future bracelets. Happy crafting!
