in #diy6 years ago (edited)

Hello, today I will show you how to make some tendrils are simple, easy and still give a fantastic touch to your outfit every day, they are made with easily accessible materials that you can find in a haberdashery, which I have already read they know that I love doing these jobs to be creative and always make new designs is something that makes me happy and even more to reach every day more and more people so that everyone has the opportunity to learn something new that different Once you give them the base to create something new with their own personal touch.

As we explained before, we are working with the soutache technique, some of which already know what it is about, but there are still many people who are surprised to see it and even more so when they hear the name. Well, the word, Soutache comes from French and its meaning is "braid" and is based on going to the threads, little by little, giving it different shapes, different and wonderful, to finish what you want, although I do not use the needle And the thread I do not like I use liquid silicon and I'm sticking until I'm forming what I want to make.

Materials:

Soutache thread or rayon braid (The name varies according to your country). Color of your choice
Apply flat 1 cm.
Piece of thick cloth or leather for the base
Flat tendril base
Jewelery Pin
0.3 mm round wall lamp
2 jewelery rings or rings
Liquid silicon
Fine tip pliers
Scissors.
Rule.
Lighter.
Encourage the use of the base when working.

STEP 1: Cut a piece of leather 6 cm high by 5 cm wide, insert in it the base of flat tendril by placing a little silicon between the leather and the wall to fix it and not be damaged by the use of the tendril , on the base of tendril we place liquid silicon and stick the round tip appliqué. We are going to cut 3 threads of about 26 cm each one of the color of your choice and we are going to stick them around the appliqué as I show them in the image, little by little with patience and help of the clamp we are going to stick around the thread small canutillos or mostacillas one next to another without leaving free spaces between them and avoiding that you see the hollow of the stone as you see it would be very nice and is cheaper than the strass although of course the strass is much more elegant but it is always good to have more options, after gluing them with enough liquid silicon we return to place liquid silicone around the beads and lowered the threads with great care joining them well at the bottom as I show in the last image.

STEP 2: In this part the leftover threads should bend inward this time above the threads mark and short burns the tips now lift a little what you already put more silicon liquid and insert the tips inwards have the same in the another side of the tendril will remain as you see in the third image. Now cut the excess leather in this part before the liquid silicone dries, pass the flame of the lighter carefully and quickly to seal the threads of this part now lift what we just paste with care that it does not lose its shape to the Once you insert the jewelery pin, press again it can be like me with a clothespin, the tendril will stay like that when it is dry, it will be cut, the excess leather will pass the lighter to seal the thread, in the jewelery pin you can place what you You want a stone or a tassel I put pompoms ... So we finish a few simple tendrils I hope you like and learn.

If you have a doubt write me a comment, I will be happy to help you with any detail, I hope my designs like them as much as I like them, learn with pleasure ...!

Never forget that Power is Wanting and if you want You can ...

You are Light you are Energy, YOU CAN ... That the infinite universe Conspire so that everything always is better ... They are wanted ...
