How to weave an egg from rubber bands for Easter
To weave an Easter egg, you need to prepare colored rubber bands and take two forks. Before work, the forks must be glued together on opposite sides.
The colored elastic is folded in half and placed over the right second prong of one fork and the left second prong of the other fork. It will resemble a diagonal figure eight. Then another elastic band is put on with a figure eight on the left second tooth of the upper fork and on the second right tooth of the lower fork. After that, you need to put the elastic bands on the second teeth (parallel). After that, the elastic is put on the two middle prongs of both the upper and lower forks. The elastic bands must be transferred to the outer teeth.
Next, you need to wear eights. First, they are thrown on the extreme teeth of the forks, and then on all the others, reaching the second edge. The elastic bands that are in the lower layer are crocheted. In the future, the elastic bands will be thrown, in a kind, in a circle and thrown off to the center. Then you need to remove the rubber bands, thereby transferring them to other cloves. As a result, three rubber bands are obtained on each tooth.
Everything is neatly removed with a hook and an elastic band is pulled inside the loops, with which everything is fixed. This is one of the easiest ways to make an egg from rubber bands!
