When I was preparing for my first fair, I got the question of how to arrange bracelets so that they neatly lay and everything was clearly visible. The problem was only one - the fair was in 2 days, and there was very little time, since evenings after work all are busy, to run somewhere to look for special materials, it was no time. Then I looked around around that I have from materials and tools, and that's what I found:
- Stack of newspapers
- black knitwear cut
- PVA glue
- black threads, needle
- sewing machine
- Pillet for metal (do not pay attention that it for metal, I drink everything to her, it's very wonderful)
To begin with, I took the newspaper and laid them with a ladder like this:
It is best to do it on the floor, where much space. The length of this track depends on the density of the paper (I still slipped the useless advertisements, for example), the thickness of the exhibition stand, which you need. I had about 2.5 meters for a thickness of 17 cm.
Now rolling from these newspapers. We start from that end, from where they started to lay out and try to roll as close as possible.
Immediately try on her bracelet, which we are going to put on it, holding the tube with your hand. I did not manage to guess the first time, I had to unwind and partially redo. How to make sure in size, we welt all sticking edges with glue and smooth them.
We are waiting for everything to dry well. If you do not wait, then during the next farewell, the upper paper may interpret. And the next stage we screaming the uneven edges:
And we have such a smooth tube:
With this smooth edges:
Now measure the diameter of the resulting workpiece:
And cut the rectangle from the stretching fabric. It is better if it is a fabric stretching in both directions - and on the equity, and transverse. In width, it should be 1-1.5 cm less measured diameter, along a length of 3 cm length of the workpiece on each side, i.e. The length of the workpiece + 6 cm. And then we spend the cloth over the long side on the machine. When we insert into this stocking our newspaper workpiece, we get something so strange (I took a fabric with a margin, only then I understood what the allowances need, you will succeed more carefully):
Then we cut the extra edges (if it is necessary, as it was) and the screen "Forward needle", we sew about both ends:
I hide a finger of a tissue allowance inside the pipe and once again pass the needle with a needle, trying to tighten the stronger:
Fix, cut, wear bracelets:
