Mood: Depressed
Playing: The Only One-Hello Astronaut
I'm happy that I have 33 followers, but I'm depressed that school is starting in two days. This is something I learned at the Fair and I just wanted to share it with you. It's super simple and something you can do, while watching TV.
Take an old box and draw an octagon. Draw a line on each side of the octagon. Then draw a circle in the middle.
Cut out the circle and octagon. Then cut the lines on each side of the octagon. You should have something like this.
Cut seven pieces of yarn or embroidery thread of equal length. I cut the yarn to be four feet because I wanted it to be long enough to be a belt. Tie the ends of the yarn on one side.
Stick the yarn in each slot and there should be one empty one, if you do it correctly. Here's what it looks like.
Count 3 slots right to the empty slot and take the yarn from that slot and put it into the empty slot. Just like in the photo above. Hopefully, the arrow helps.
Repeat the step above. Kind of like in the picture above. You just repeat this again and again.
On the top, it should look like something like this. You don't have to use the same colors. I only used different colors to help make it easier to see.
On the bottom half it should look like this. Run your hands through the yarn, hanging from the bottom, to keep it from getting too tangled.
When you barely have any yarn left, like in the picture above, take it off the loom and tie up the end. Cut the yarn on the end, so it's one equal length.
When you're done, it should look like this. I hope you liked this tutorial. If you have any questions, just ask, and I'll try my best to help. It's really easy, but this tutorial is kind of confusing.
ooh i get it
ReplyDeletethat looks pretty simple :D
Whoaaa, that looks so cool. I'm gonna try that some time.
ReplyDelete>:D
As unlikely as it might seem, I hope school goes well for you and that it'll be fun instead of depressing. So cheer up, Audrey.
:]

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you mean by foam kumihimo. I just made my own. :)
ReplyDeleteo. which shops did u go to for all the supplies? like the string and stuff
ReplyDeletealso, is there any designs that u could teach and show online? like diamond or striped pattern?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous-You can buy yarn from any crafts store like Michael's or JoAnne's. The frame though, you have to make using a cardboard box or something. Unfortunately, this is the only pattern I know of.
