Making original jewelry is an exciting experience. And if the little thing you created is also called upon to become an amulet that brings happiness and good luck, then this is doubly pleasant. That is what shamballs are considered to be. With your own hands you can weave a bracelet, beads or earrings. It's pretty easy to make and the result will blow your mind.

Hand and Foot Jewelry

For a simple, single bracelet, you will need the following materials:

• waxed cord;
• beads (nine pieces);
• scissors;
• glue ("Moment" or PVA).

The thread that will serve as the basis of the future decoration must be fixed on a flat surface. It can serve as a board with two carnations driven into it. A piece of thick cardboard will also work. The ends of the cord in this case will be held on it thanks to adhesive tape or stationery clothespins. Preliminarily, beads should be put on the thread in the desired sequence. Then weaving begins, based on a square macrame knot.

This is how almost all shamballas are made by hand. The work uses various decorative elements and weaving with cords. There are also such original solutions as the use of rings,beads of an unusual shape - butterflies, skulls, flowers. It all depends on the taste and imagination of the craftswoman.

Two working threads braid a decorative element. One is passed under the base, and lies on top of the second, and that, in turn, is inserted into the resulting loop. Then you need to gently pull both threads in different directions. When making shamballas with your own hands, you need to make sure that the knots are equally tightened everywhere. Now we need to create a zipper. When the weaving of the bracelet is completed, the work must be released from the holders. Connect the main thread into a circle and braid it with working cords. Then tie knots and cut off the excess. String beads on the remaining ends of the thread. A wonderful thing of Shambhala, created with your own hands, is almost ready. The cord can be treated with glue or burned with a lighter so that the ends do not fray. There are many ways to create such wonderful jewelry.

Bracelets are made double, triple, depending on how many rows with beads are braided in one product. They are worn on the arm or leg.

Decorate the neck

Shambhala beads are made by hand according to similar principles. They will also require a waxed cord and various decorative elements. If you want to create an original gift for a friend or relative, then when choosing beads, you can be guided by her horoscope. In this case, the stones should be selected according to the sign. The most diverse material is suitable here: wood, leather, Swarovski crystals.

Decorativeelements can be combined in any color scheme, as long as they are in your favorite colors.

How good the ears are now

Shambhala earrings will look even more elegant. With your own hands you can create a real gentle miracle. You need to thread the pin-cloves into the beads, with the help of round-nose pliers, bend their part that has come out. Then put them on the earwires, once again press the resulting hook with the tool - and the decoration is ready. The design uses a variety of materials. Earrings can be woven according to the same principle as bracelets with beads. Then for their manufacture you will need two earwires, three decorative elements and a waxed cord.
