In the old days, baubles were considered a symbol of friendship and respect. The Indians were the first to make them. There are many variations of color combinations. Some of them do not carry a semantic load, being just beautiful trinkets. Others, on the contrary, have a deep meaning. For example, a combination of white and red is a symbol of free love. There are an unthinkable number of types of weaving friendship bracelets, but some of them can be weaved only by a true professional in this matter.

Consider the simplest option for weaving bracelets from floss thread. The process itself is pretty monotonous, but if you have patience, you get a very beautiful bauble.
What is required?
• Mouline thread of two different colors (4 of each color)
• Pin (you can tape)
• scissors
Sequencing:
• Cut the threads about 50 centimeters long. It turns out eight threads, four for each color
• Put them together and tie a knot
• We fasten them by a knot with a pin to the pillow or with adhesive tape to the table
• Fold out. First comes all the threads of one color, after them - another

• Start weaving from the left edge. Take the outermost thread and draw it over the adjacent right thread. Next, make a loop, as in the photo

• Tighten the knot and repeat the procedure on the same thread
• Next, we also make two knots on the remaining threads in the order of their sequence. Attention, knots are made with the same (leftmost) thread, which we started to weave from the very beginning. As a result, she will become the extreme right

• Next, we again take the leftmost thread and perform similar procedures. After the first four threads of the same color are used, it should turn out:

• We continue to do the same thing, only with threads of a different color, which are now located on the left side
A few hours of such work and the bauble will be ready. Of course, the first time it can turn out to be a little uneven and twisted, but everything comes with experience!
