Spreads, rugs, ponchos - interesting ideas
With her own hands, a craftswoman can weave such beauty that neither in a fairy tale can be said, as they say, nor described with a pen. Of course, hand weaving is a long, laborious process. And best of all, if the objects of woven art are produced using a special device - a hand loom. But rugs, bedspreads for armchairs and sofas can be made without the use of a machine. These interesting do-it-yourself decor ideas can be woven using an ordinary wooden frame with hook-studs stuffed on two opposite sides. Thin, but strong threads are tied to the hooks - the base. The frame itself is positioned so that the base is vertical. Now the master manually lays thick threads wound on the shuttle, carefully interlacing them with the warp. Alternating colors, you can achieve a unique pattern in the product, even make a picture - this is how beautiful unique tapestries were created in antiquity.
Seamless carpets - interesting ideas
With your own hands you can create not only woven tapestries, but also make a soft fluffy rug. If the already described frame method is used, then pieces of wool or yarn are simply knotted onto strong warp threads. By choosing the yarn of the right color in accordance with the chosen pattern, you can create a real masterpiece: from a landscape or an ornament to an icon or a portrait. You can make a carpet in a simpler way - usingspecial needle. Usually a carpet needle is made from medical thick needles, drilling a thread hole at the very tip. The handle also needs to be made hollow in order to pass a working thread into it. The thread is inserted using an ordinary needle, in which the eye already has the yarn of the desired color, wound into a ball. The needle and thread are brought out from below through a medical needle, then dragged into the drilled hole. Then the auxiliary sewing needle is removed. The desired pattern has already been applied to the fabric. The craftswoman works on the wrong side, sticking a needle with a thread at the end into the warp and pulling it back. Thus, on the front side, which is currently opposite the working one, a loop is formed. The master should make “steps” of approximately the same size, rather tightly. After completing the entire drawing - filling the entire working field - the wrong side is smeared with glue so that the carpet does not crumble. After the adhesive has dried, the front side of the product is cut with scissors. But some people like rugs with eyelets - it also looks nice and unique.
