Many people like to sit in a rocking chair, whether it is a rocking chair or a conventional hammock. But very few people know that such a thing as a hanging wicker ball chair can easily be made by own hands, owning only the basics of macrame. Meet our master class, and you will understand how to make a hanging chair .
How to weave a hammock chair?
Required:
- two hoops, one for the back - diameter of 110 cm, the second for the seat - a diameter of 70 cm;
- polyamide cord, best with polypropylene core - 900 m;
- slings - 12 m;
- thick cords, for connecting rings - 2 pcs .;
- wooden rods - 2 pcs .;
- gloves in which you will work;
- roulette;
- scissors.
Now go to the most interesting and tell how to make your own hands hanging chair hammock.
- First of all, let's take care of the hoops. You need to braid them so that you hide the metal. Focus on our approximate calculations: about 1 meter of the hoop will take about 40 m of the cord. Do turns as tight as possible. It will be better if you fix the winding every 20 turns, pulling the last loops to the maximum. While wrapping the hoops, make sure that the cord lies flat and neat.
- We will occupy a seat. On top of the winding weave a grid, fastening it to the hoop with a double loop. If you are quite familiar with macrame, then you can choose any pattern, if not, then use the "chess" offered by us. By the way, the ends of the knots hanging from the seat do not need to be cut off, then you can use them to decorate the fringe. Also note that the harder you pull the cord, the harder the seat becomes.
- Now you can connect the hoops together. On the front side, where you sit down, we firmly wrap both rings with a cord. On the side of the back you need to place cooked barbells, on four ends of which it is necessary to make nicks in advance. It will firmly hold the hoop, and will give the necessary slope to the back of the chair.
- We begin to move on to the most interesting - to braid the back. Again, if you are a master of macrame, you can choose a pattern that you like. If you are not sure about your capabilities, then use our - it's extremely simple. Working cord is attached to the top of the hoop and weave the back, moving down. When the pattern is finished, all threads must be attached to the lower back and you can engage in fringe.
- Now it remains only to attach the slings and you can place your creation on the prepared place.
