During the Dragon Boat Festival, you can make some exquisite hangings by hand weaving to decorate your home or give them to relatives and friends. The following is a simple method for making hand-knitted hanging ornaments.
Steps:
Choose a colored silk or wool thread of suitable length and fix it on a fixed point (such as a comb).
After fixing the thread, start knitting. You can choose different weaving methods, such as plain weave, twisted weave, knotted weave, etc. Choose the suitable weaving method according to your personal preference.
Continue braiding according to the selected braiding method until the desired length is reached. Lines of different colors can be used to cross-weave to increase the layering and beauty of the hanging ornaments.
When the braid reaches the required length, use scissors to cut the lines, leaving a certain amount of excess length for subsequent operations.
Tie the ends of the cut lines tightly to ensure that the braided part is firm. If you want the hanging decoration to be more delicate, you can tie small beads, small pendants and other decorations on both ends.
Finally, according to your own preferences and creativity, you can add some decorative elements to the woven part, such as colorful silk bows, small flowers, etc., to make the hanging ornaments more beautiful.
After the production is completed, you can hang the handwoven hangings on doors, windows, walls or other places to add a unique festive atmosphere to the Dragon Boat Festival. These carefully crafted hanging ornaments can also be given as gifts to relatives and friends to express holiday blessings and good intentions.
