Master class "Weaving belts by pulling". Master class "making a belt" Weaving tugging on the fingers

I am glad to announce that the epic called "Jergantsy" is about to begin. I hope that after my master classes you will no longer have the desire to buy ready-made laces and ribbons, but you will willingly weave them yourself)))
It is very diverse and beautiful technique. In Europe it is known as Fingerloop.
There are a lot of weaving options, but the main thing that unites them is weaving from loops that are located on the fingers. Let's start!

I recommend making yourself these "palms". When the weaving is not finished, and you need to step back, place the loops on the templates in the same way as they are on the fingers. If you don't do this, then you run the risk of placing the loops on your fingers incorrectly and thereby spoiling all your work.

Someone may not understand my meticulousness, but I really like to weave braid with a certain pattern, and for this it is necessary to place loops of a certain color on the right fingers at the very beginning of weaving. I'll label my fingers like this:

Index finger - No. 1
Middle finger - #2
Ring finger - No. 3
Mezinets - №4
The letter "L" will mean - left hand
The letter "P" will denote - the right hand

It will look like this:

L №3 - blue

Or:
L No. 1 - green R No. 1 - green
L No. 2 - green R No. 2 - red
L №3 - red

Weaving preparation.

We will cut the threads of the desired length, for example: the final length of the braid is 1.5m, which means 1.5m * 2.3 = 3.45m. This length calculation option is not suitable for all weaving options, somewhere the thread consumption will be greater, especially if the braid is wide, this is already revealed empirically.
Then we fold the cut threads in half and carefully lay them out so that each loop is independent and does not intertwine with other loops.

Align the loops so that they are all on the same level, adjust the threads along the entire length and tie the entire bunch of threads into a knot.

We fix the beam for a fixed support: a pipe, a battery, a hook, a doorknob. If the braid is short, then you can simply pinch the end between your knees))) You can weave in pairs, that is, one weaves, and with the other hand holds a bunch of threads, and the second knocks the thread.

We arrange the loops in accordance with the selected pattern:
L No. 1 - blue R No. 1 - orange
L No. 2 - blue R No. 2 - orange
L №3 - blue

Weaving progress.

In this version of weaving with a working finger, we will have a ring finger.
Ring finger right hand remove the loop from the index finger of the left hand - the thread goes over the other two threads. I explain this so that in the further acquaintance with this technique the course of the thread will be different.
To fasten the threads, we spread our arms in different directions. If you are working in pairs, then an assistant holding the ends of the threads helps in fastening by tapping the loop with your finger.

Since we have a ring finger, it must be freed from the loop, for this we successively throw the loops on the left hand from the middle finger to the index finger and from the ring finger to the middle one. It should look like in the photo, now we have the ring finger of the left hand free.

Now, with the ring finger of the left hand, we remove the loop from the index finger of the right hand. We fix the threads. We throw the loops on the right hand from the middle finger to the index finger, from the ring finger to the middle one.
Then everything repeats from the first step.

I will immediately teach you how it will look on the diagrams, because after getting acquainted with several weaving options, I will only publish the diagrams, since with more complex weaving methods with a large number of steps, you must either show it with your own eyes, or like this on the diagram.

Well, now the most important thing!
For the sake of what the whole master class was started!
I got the whole story

There was a ribbon) Once she was invited to a spring ball! And our ribbon was still a fashionista! Her outfits were not honorable!
For a long time I looked at my wardrobe with a ribbon, I decided to choose gold and heleny colors in honor of the spring holiday.
Scheme:
L No. 1 - yellow (or green) P No. 1 - white
L No. 2 - white R No. 2 - white
L №3 - white

Because here we have only one colored thread, then its location in principle does not matter.

Tries on a ribbon green outfit:
"Maybe so?" (left)

L No. 1 - green R No. 1 - green
L No. 2 - white R No. 2 - white
L №3 - white

"And maybe like this?" (on right)
L No. 1 - white R No. 1 - green
L No. 2 - white R No. 2 - green
L №3 - white

Our fashionista decided to experiment and took two colors. But even here it is not so simple! They can be applied in different ways!
Like this (left)
L No. 1 - gold P No. 1 - green
L No. 2 - white R No. 2 - white
L №3 - white

To begin with, we will weave a short bookmark into a book about 30 cm long, using colored floss threads in two additions (not split) for this. You can take threads of two, three or four colors, coloring them well.

Before you start tugging, the threads need to be prepared, i.e. make five loops of the same length out of them, given that the weaving will turn out to be one and a half times shorter than the loops. To make a bookmark about 30 cm long, the length of the prepared loops must be at least 45-50 cm. On one side of the loop, we firmly tie it together and attach it to some fixed object: a nail in the wall, a door handle, etc. We dress the free ends of the loops on the fingers: three loops - on the index, middle and ring fingers of the left hand, two loops - on the index and middle fingers of the right hand (hands should be turned with palms facing you, fingers slightly bent, Fig. a). The ring finger of the right hand remains free to work.

a - the first stage; b - the second stage.

Let's pass the free ring finger of the right hand into the loops, dressed on the fingers of the left hand, pick up the far loop down up and we will drag it through the other loops towards ourselves, after which it will be dressed on the ring finger of the right hand (Fig. b). The ring finger of the left hand was freed for work. Now we will pass this free finger through the loops dressed on the fingers of the right hand, but this time differently than the first time - changing the lower and upper halves of the loops in places (we pass the free finger top down), we pick up the far loop and drag it towards ourselves - the loop will be on the ring finger of the left hand again. Now let's repeat the whole cycle from the beginning. We drag the far loop through the loops of the left hand in the usual way, and through the loops of the right hand - each time changing the upper and lower halves of the loops in places. Having dragged the next loop, you need to spread both hands to the sides and pull on all the loops to tighten the braid. This should be done evenly so that the bookmark is even, does not expand or narrow. The pattern is formed from the alternation of loops different colors. Having made the desired length of the bookmark, cut off the rest of the loops, but leave a few centimeters on the brush (from 3 cm to 5-6 cm). We do the brush like this: we take a thin thread of one of the colors taken in the work, we wind it very tightly on a bundle of threads at the very end of the weave, gradually shifting down to the ends of the threads. After winding 1-2 cm, thread the tip of the thread with a needle into the middle of the winding and cut it off. Align the tip of the brush and also cut off. The same brush must be done on the other side. The bookmark is ready.

In this way, you can also weave a round cord. To do this, you need to pull the loops equally from the left and right hands, without swapping the upper and lower halves of the loops (for example, always threading your finger into the loops from the bottom up).

For a flat cord knitted from seven loops, on left hand put on 4 loops, on the right - three. tab. 2, (Figure 1-1)
On the right hand, move the loops from the ring finger to the little finger, from the middle to the index finger, thread the middle finger into the loop on the index, as a result, the upper loop will be located on two fingers. (Figure 1-2)

Then insert the index finger of the right hand into the loop on the little finger of the left hand, pass through the loop on the right finger and the finger along with the loop, as a result, the old loop is on the middle finger, the new one on the index finger of the right hand. (Table 2, Figures 1-31, 1-32, 1-33)

Half time is over. The number of loops in each hand has changed, there are three loops in the left hand and four in the right. The process must now be repeated in a mirror image, the loop passes from the right hand to the left. (Table 2, Figure 1-4)

If the length of the cord or braid should be more than one meter, then you need to work together, since the large length of the loops does not allow one person to spread their arms to the desired width to tighten the braid. In this case, one actually pulls, and the second helps to tighten the loops (two in one, three in the other direction). In this way, you can weave a narrow patterned belt of woolen threads of different colors for a summer dress made of one-colored or harsh linen fabric.

Today I tried to post my old master class on weaving braid on fingers at the Fair of Masters. But due to the lack of the ability to edit the finished text, there are now so many jambs that I am terribly ashamed !! Therefore, I decided to publish it here as well, only in the form in which this MK is supposed to be.

Hello, dear masters and craftswomen!

I invite everyone who is interested in ancient types of needlework to a master class on weaving braid on fingers. In the English version, this type of needlework is called "fingerloop", in Russian - "twitching".

Please prepare threads (it is better to train on woolen ones), scissors, a plank with a pushpin, where it is convenient to fasten the knot (you can also tie the edge to a doorknob, battery, or ask someone to hold it) - and let's start!

Making braid using the fingerloop technique (“twitching”)

Before mastering real weaving, mankind, apparently, perfectly mastered various kinds of weaving. Girls of elementary school still have fun at breaks with the game of "strings". It cannot be ruled out that in this game an echo of the old method of weaving, or “pulling” the braid, has been preserved.

The technique of "pulling" is a very ancient method of making braid. Back in the early Middle Ages, the Slavs and Finno-Ugric peoples who lived on the territory of our region wove such narrow strong ribbons for sheathing ponies, for buttonholes, for “gashniks” (strings for trousers), for “ruffles”. Ribbons of thick woolen threads were used to make bracelets.
Ethnographers note that this method of weaving was widespread in antiquity, since it was used not only by representatives of the Slavic people (ethnos), but also by the Finnish. This is confirmed by archeological data: during excavations, fragments of such laces and ribbons were found.

Braid and cords made using the “fingerloop” technique were quite widespread in Europe in the medieval period, for example, 24 samples were found during excavations in London (cultural layers from the end of the 12th to the beginning of the 15th centuries). The braid was used to trim the edge of braided hair nets, as a drawstring for a purse, and also for fastening and lacing clothes.

This ancient type of weaving was not forgotten over time, it has successfully survived to this day: until the very beginning of the 20th century, braid and belts were made in Russian villages in this way. Now in some educational and educational centers (in Moscow and other cities), as part of the program for the revival of crafts, classes are being held to make belts from "twitchy" braid. Specialized master classes are organized in Russia and abroad, and in European countries this is a very popular type of needlework. Mastering the technique of "twitching" is easy. By the way, it develops the flexibility and mobility of the fingers well.

There are many ways to make a "twitchy" braid, they differ from each other in the number of working loops and the options for throwing threads. Today we will learn how to weave braid the way ladies did in medieval England. Having mastered this simple method, you can learn everything else if you wish.

Technique

The first stage in the manufacture of the cord is the formation of loops of the same length. To make a solid cord, it is best to use an uncut thread, pulling it between two pins (fixed sticks, pegs, etc.) until the desired number of loops is obtained. Multi-colored cords require enough thread of each color to obtain the desired total number of loops.

To facilitate weaving, it is very important that all the loops are of equal length, therefore, when warping the thread, it is a good idea to hold the resulting loops from one end with your hand, slightly stretching so that the loops are better aligned in length. At the other end of the bunch of loops, all the threads can be tied with a simple knot “through the hand”, leaving a small loop at this end for fastening, for example, on a stick, peg, or on thumb legs.

Having firmly fixed this small loop on some object, then place all the long thread loops on the fingers of both hands, starting with the index fingers, placing each loop on a separate finger.

For the basic scheme using seven loops, in this case four loops will be placed on one arm and three on the other.

While weaving, the loops should be slightly stretched. The following illustrations demonstrate the process, for example, the right hand initially holds three loops:

First, the loops are “transferred” down the fingers of the hand, using finger dexterity, starting from the lowest loop. In this case, the loop from the ring finger is transferred to the little finger, then the loop from the middle finger is transferred to the ring finger. Finally, the upper loop is picked up by the middle finger so that it wraps around the index and middle fingers at the same time. It should look like this:

The hands are brought together and the index finger of the right hand is inserted into the lower loop on the other hand (which is with four loops):

This important point for beginners. Acting carefully, the index finger picks up the lowest loop on the other hand and, holding it thumb, removes this loop from the other hand and pulls it through the large loop on the "working" hand, creating a "weave".

The overall result is the transfer of one loop from one hand to another.

After this stage, the arms are spread wide so that the “weave” moves to the far end of the cord. It also helps to tighten previous "weaves".

This completes half of the cycle. The number of loops on each hand has changed, and now there are three loops on the left hand, and four on the right. Now the process should be repeated in a mirror image, “transferring” the loops on the left hand down, picking up the lower loop on the right hand, and tightening the cord by spreading the arms to the sides.

The cord can be continued until the desired length is reached, or until the loops are too short to work with.

Cords with an even number of loops are not more difficult to weave, but it is important to remember which hand goes next, since the visual rule "transfer the loop to the hand with fewer loops" arises only when working with an odd number of loops.

Practical value

In modern life, "twitchy" cords and ribbons can be used not only as part of the reconstruction of a historical costume. Cords woven from strong and bright synthetic threads can be used as shoelaces for summer shoes and clothes. Multi-colored wool braid is well suited for finishing clothes made of dense natural fabrics: wool, jeans, and suede. Can do exclusive case For mobile phone and a camera, or weave baubles. Feel free to fantasize, and you will find many interesting, original solutions to use the products of this ancient type of needlework!

Here are some examples from our workshop:

Master class progress

I. Organizational moment.

Students are grouped in advance into a group of 7-10 people, which allows the use of a group form of work, and forms an idea of mutual assistance among students.

The master class begins with setting the goal and objectives of the lesson.

II. Learning new material.

Teacher block.

Guys, today we will talk about clothes. Clothing has always been functional

– Why do people need clothes?

Children's answers: to be warm, for beauty, to protect the human body from external influences.

– When did the clothes appear?

Children's answers: several million years ago, in the Stone Age, in a primitive society.

– Why did the earliest people start making clothes, and what was it like.

Children's answers: because it was cold. Animal skins and plant leaves were used as clothing.

Teacher: Millennia passed, and people tamed animals. Of course, the cattle breeder was sorry to kill animals just for the sake of clothing. And people came up with ways to take possession of the skin of an animal without killing it.

– What do you think people came up with?

Children's answers: people have learned to cut animals.

Teacher: Sheared wool was spun, and then fabric was made. Fabric was also made from some plants.

– What else was made from wool yarn?

Children's answers: they made warm clothes.

Thanks guys for active work. From your answers it is clear that you know how primitive people lived and what they dressed in. Centuries passed, initially people were equal in status and wore similar clothes. Then came the rich and the poor, there were differences in dress.

tell me who is rich and who is poor? Children show the differences in clothes in the pictures.

Teacher: Of course, the rich and the poor used expensive fabrics, jewelry, and furs in their clothes. And often they began to wear foreign clothes to distinguish themselves from the common people. In Rus', for example, princes and boyars wore Byzantine costume, and simple people- traditional Russian.

But in any clothing there was an element without which it could not exist.

Today in class we will open the chest. It contains this item. It was invented back in the Stone Age, but it still serves each of us faithfully.

– What do you think it is?

- It's a belt!

– Guys, why do you think our ancestors wore a belt?

Children's answers: so that the clothes do not fall off, so that it is more convenient, for beauty.

Teacher: That's right, and he also performed various functions: Some objects were “laid” behind the belt, while others were hung from the belt. For example, a sword, a knife, weapons were worn by warriors behind their belts. In the old days they hung a mirror, a needle bed, figurines-amulets from evil spirits and money bags. Such bags were called "Kalita" One of the wealthy Moscow princes Ivan Danilovich was even nicknamed Kalita. Under this name, he went down in history.

The belt had another task - a secret ...

– Tell me, what shape does the belt tied at the waist take?

Children's answers: the shape of a circle.

– And what did the circle symbol represent in ancient times among most peoples?

Children's answers: the circle depicted the sun.

Teacher:

The circle of the ancient Slavs denoted the religious symbol of the One God - the Family. And he was a guardian. So, the belt was a talisman, he protected the stomach. After all, the word "stomach" in ancient times had the meaning of "life". Thus, it turns out that the belt protected life. Therefore, it turns out that everyone should wear it.

– Guys, have you ever heard the expression "unbelted"? What does it mean?

Answers of children: indulges, misbehaves.

Teacher: Right. This means, as it were, he lost his human form.

The belt protected from misfortunes and evil spirits.

When was born Small child, they put on a belt of warm wool, intertwined with mother's hair. The first belt is the first amulet. And these belts had magical powers. Children grew up and left home. Mom will take out the belt, look at it. If the belt is good and clean, then the child is doing well. And if rot appears, mold, then trouble, you need to rush to the rescue.

The belt was an obligatory element of the Russian folk costume . But they tied it up in different ways: front, side, back. Women - under the chest, at the waist. Men are under the belly.

Belt length and width

The method of imposing belts indicated their length, which varies from 1.5 to 4 m, individual belts reach a length of 5-6 m.

The width of the belts is also different. Usually, a casual shirt is girded with a thin half-length belt (22 mm) or a rope (a rope specially woven from flax). A festive shirt was girdled with a multi-colored belt (44-45 mm) with tribal amulets, and a ritual shirt with a wide belt of 1.5-2 inches (6.5-88.9 mm).

Belt in traditional clothes explained not only by functional necessity, but also endowed with a deep symbolic meaning. Tying a belt means a person's readiness for deeds and the ability to carry out these deeds.

Belt at the wedding

When the girl was ready to marry the young man whom she was matched with, she gave him a belt.

magical properties the belt, which holds the union of the young, was also used in the wedding ceremony: the bride and groom were tied with a belt, thereby connecting them into a single whole. Belts were given to musicians at the wedding, to the groom's relatives and guests. Entering the groom's hut after the wedding, the bride threw a belt on the stove (showing the brownie that she was the new mistress). The young people were led to the table on a belt. In the first days after the fun, the young woman, walking on the water, laid the girdle on the frame of the well. Sweeping the hut, she tied a belt on a broom. There is evidence that sometimes the bride handed out more than a hundred belts at the wedding.

Belt and Slavic rites

The first sheaf of the harvest was tied with a belt. At the first pasture of cattle in the field, it was customary for the Eastern Slavs to spread a belt, more often red, at the gate. He was also tied to the horns of a cow, put to the shepherds in bags. The first furrow was led by the horse's belt. When buying livestock, it was introduced into new house through the belt. In the Vladimir province at that moment they used to say: "Forget the old master, get used to the new one."

IN Slavic tradition the belt is the source of life force. It has healing properties. A belt with tribal amulets is a kind of filter that protects a person from negative influences from outside: damage, evil eye, bad wishes, etc.

The healers could, if necessary, strengthen the protective properties of the belt with a certain conspiracy.

For the manufacture of belts, various methods and techniques were used. The most colorful and varied ornaments are swear belts woven on a thread, a reed or a bastard.

Now we are in for an exciting journey through time. We will fast forward several centuries ago and get acquainted with one of the types of weaving.

III. Preparation for practical work.

Block of the teacher on technology.

Today we will focus on one of the ancient types of belt weaving - weaving using the “Jerking” technique. The technique of "pulling" is a very ancient method of making braid. Back in the 10th century, the Slavs wove such narrow, strong ribbons for trimming ponies (skirts), for buttonholes, for “gashniks” (strings for pants), for “ruffles”. Ribbons of thick woolen threads were used to make bracelets. This ancient type of weaving has not been forgotten over time. At the beginning of the 20th century, braid and belts were made in this way in Russian villages. Now in some cities of Russia and abroad, as part of the program for the revival of crafts, classes are being held to make belts from “twitchy” braid. Mastering the technique of "twitching" is easy. They “pulled” the threads together, moreover, one worker held the end of the finished braid and tightened the weaving, and the second put her fingers on which the loops of the woven threads were put on. Rearranging the loops, we got a pattern - any, as far as the imagination and the number of threads were enough. According to the conclusion of experts, up to 4.5 m of braid could be “pulled” per day. Such a “twitch” can also weave flat thin belts, ribbons, ties. This method is convenient for making small children's belts and all kinds of ties for the household. Our grandmothers wove belts themselves, but you and I live in the modern world. And more often we use not home-made belts, but purchased ones. Yes, the clothes have changed.

– Tell me, guys, where can we find information about national Russian clothes?

Children's answers: from grandmothers, in books, on the Internet.

teacher :

That's right, now we move on to the practical part of our lesson.

One group will work in modern time.

Another group will go back in time and try to weave the belt with their own hands.

Students are divided into groups and disperse to complete the practical part.

Topics for individual works:

The role of the belt in the national costume.

Belt as a talisman.

Methods for making belts.

Belt in modern clothes.

The use of various types of weaving in the manufacture of accessories.

Briefing on the implementation of the element of the belt in the technique of "pulling"

Today we will learn how to make a belt element using the “Twitch” technique, which can be used as a bookmark for books or hand baubles.

Pay attention to the finished patterns of weaving.

In front of you are the instruction cards on which we will work.

Students perform practical work within 15-20 minutes.

Summing up (demonstration of finished samples and presentations).

A word to the teacher on technology.

Here are our completed works. We are back with you now.

You probably remember how primary school elementary school girls had fun at breaks with the game of "strings". A string or elastic band is pulled between the spread fingers of the hands; two players try to rearrange their fingers so that they get the most beautiful and complex geometric figure. It cannot be ruled out that this game retained an echo of the ancient method of weaving - “pulling” the braid.

Everyone Thanks a lot. This concludes our lesson.

Weaving a belt using the technique of pulling on the fingers.

Based on the materials of the book by E. Osipova “Hand weaving and ».

Forweaving girdle you need to take 5-7 threads 2.5-3 meters long (the length is optional, the belt will be half this length). It is better to take thick threads. They can be made up of 2 colors, the belt will be colorful.

Fold the threads in half and get 5 loops. On the side where the loops have free ends, tie them all into one knot and attach with a cord to the handle of a door or window at chest level, so that the threads go towards us at a slight slope.

Put the loops on your fingers : three loops - on the left hand, on the index, middle and ring fingers , two loops - on the right hand, on the index and middle fingers.
ring finger middle class will be free. We will start working on them. It is unusual to start work with the ring finger.
The palms of the hands are turned towards themselves, the fingers are slightly bent.

1 . We pass the free ring finger of the right hand into the loops dressed on the fingers of the left hand. To do this, we tilt our fingers slightly so that a passage forms in the loops.
2 . We pass the ring finger right inside the loops and pick up the far (from the index finger) loop from the bottom up and drag it through all these loops towards ourselves. She will be dressed on the ring finger of her right hand.
3 . Immediately, we carefully transfer the remaining two loops of the left hand to the other fingers of this hand, to the index and middle, and the ring finger of the left hand is freed for work.
4 . Now we need to spread our arms to the sides and, with this, we will nail our first row, the first weave to the beginning of the belt. If you have an assistant, he will help to nail this row with his own hands. You have to hit it hard.
5 . Now we will pass this free ring finger of the left hand through the loops on the fingers of the right hand to the far (index) finger, pick up this far loop from the bottom up and drag it towards ourselves. The loop will again be on the ring finger of the left hand.
6 . We will throw the remaining two loops on the index and middle fingers of the right hand, freeing the ring finger for work. And again we beat the resulting row, spreading our arms to the sides.
7 . Now we only need to repeat this sequence from time to time, not forgetting to spread our arms after each row, and the belt will weave.
When you finish weaving, clasp the woven belt with any loop, and tighten it tightly with a loop.
Draw the ends of the belt with tassels.

The belt is an indispensable accessory of the folk costume, both male and female. Its value as a talisman was great among all East Slavic peoples. It was believed that the belt protects from evil spirits, especially from forest household spirits. The belt served two functions: utilitarian and aesthetic. Belted clothing, tightly fitting to the figure, warmed better, provided freedom of movement during work. The belt also played a significant role in the performance of various ritual ceremonies. Among the things presented to the newborn, there was certainly a belt; at the wedding, the boyfriend was girded with a towel; the dead were buried with their belts. When divining, the belt and cross were necessarily removed. In the Don and the North Caucasus, a belt was worn over a sundress, shirt or skirt. Its length was from 1.5 to 2 m. Caftans and fur coats were girded with silk sashes. The technique of making belts is very diverse: they were woven, woven, knitted. The so-called pulling of belts is known - an ancient way of weaving on the fingers, as well as weaving on a fork of silk or woolen threads. Woven belts were made mainly without a loom - on boards, on a "thread" and "reed".

The simplest way to make belts, round cords, braids is the so-called twitching - a kind of weaving, especially often used in Ryazan, Kaluga, Penza, Tver, etc. This method does not require special equipment. Having mastered it, you can weave beautiful multi-colored bookmarks for books or braid for finishing a linen apron, skirt, etc. For work, you can use woolen threads or floss threads in two additions of two, three or four colors.

Sequence of work.

1. Prepare 5 thick woolen threads 2 m long.

2. Make 5 loops by folding the threads in half.

6. Release the ring finger of the left hand for work. To do this, remove the loop from the middle finger to the index finger, from the ring finger to the middle one.

7. Pass the ring finger of the left hand through loops 1 and 4, sorting through them as in plain weave. Pick up loop 5 from below and pull it through loops 4 and 1 towards you. This technique is called a "scrambler"
