How to weave a rubber band doll You will learn in a step-by-step photo master class. This doll is from the lumigurumi series, that is, it has a 3D format and looks just gorgeous!

Materials for making rubber dolls:

• Rubber bands;
• Hook;
• Clip;
• Filler.

How to weave a rubber band doll?

All weaving will begin with a magic lumigurumi ring.

For the head, we collect a ring of 5 loops.

In the second row, as usual, we will make an increase (appr.) in each loop, that is, through each of the loops we will weave 2 elastic bands (r-ki). Ultimately, we will get 10 loops.

The third row will need to be done in the same way with appr., but now through the loop. At the end we get 15 loops.

4 rows the same with approx., but through 2 loops.

5 rows weave with approx. through 3 loops. At the end of the row we get 25 loops.

In the 8th row there are also no increases or decreases. We will weave 1 rows each, but we will replace the rows that we will weave in loops 10 and 15 with beads. These will be the eyes.

In the 13th row, we will already begin to decrease. We weave 3 loops, 1 row through each, and weave 4 and 5 loops together with 1 rubber band. That is, a decrease after 3 loops.

Weave 14 rows with a decrease through 2 loops.

At this stage, we will make cilia. To create them, we need two black cutters. We twist the head. Our eyes are put on elastic bands, we need to stretch the black elastic band through the elastic band with the eye and make a knot.

We turn our head back. We start the hook into the loops near the beads and pull out the black loops from the inside.

Now let's make hair strands.

Since the doll will be blonde, we will take the rubber bands in yellow. You can take both orange and black, whatever you like.

We do strands simply. We will form chains of 10 loops.

You need 12 such chains.

Now we need to connect our ponytail to the main hair.

We collect a ring of yellow rubber bands. The ring should consist of 6 loops.

In the second row, skip 2 rows in each loop. But we do not just weave with r-kami, but with our strands, which we just made.

There are just 12 of them, as are the loops in the end.

In the 3rd row approx. again through the loop. In principle, we will continue to work in the same way as we wove the head. We only use yellow cutters.

4 rows will be added through 2 loops.

5 rows will be added after 3 loops.

Let's put aside the hair and take the head again. We fill the head with synthetic winterizer.

Now let's make the handles.

With beige p-kami we will form the initial ring of 6 loops.

Weave 2 rows with beige r-kami, 1 in each of the loops.

2 rows in blue, 2 rows in red, 2 rows in yellow, 2 rows in green, 2 rows in blue.

Now we will weave the legs. We will start with the boot, because then we will connect the legs and we will weave the body.

So, we collect the ring with yellow p-kami from 5 loops.

2 rows must be added to each of the loops.

In the 3rd row we will also add, but a little not according to the schemes. Let's change the r-ki to green.

Weave 3 loops, 1 row through each, then 5 loops, 2 rows each. And there will be 2 more loops. Through them weave 1.

In the next row, weave 3 loops of 1 elastic band in blue p-kami. In the next 5 we make reductions. And 2 more loops of 1 row.

3 rows with lilac rows, 1 row in each of the loops.

In 12, 13, 14, 15 rows, there are also 1 r-ki, but already with beige r-kami.

Weave 2 legs.

We fill the legs with filler.

Now we will connect the legs.

We put them to each other, loop to loop.

We draw a hook under 4 loops, 2 from one leg and 2 from the other. We stretch a lilac r-ku through them and form a knot.

And weave 1 rubber band. Along the perimeter of both legs.

Weave the next 4 rows as before with lilac r-kami with approx. through 2 loops. But the first of them weave not for the loop, but for the inner half-loop.

1 row, 1 elastic band through the loop.

Weave the next row with a decrease in the first and last loops.

Weave 1 row with a decrease in the last 2 loops.

2 rows with green rows, 1 cut through each of the loops.

Weave 12 rows with a decrease through 2 loops. We also weave with green r-kami.

13 rows, 1 elastic.

14 rows as well as 13, but with lilac r-kami.

Clothes for rubber dolls: photo and video workshops

Now it is quite difficult to find an adult or a child who would not know what small multi-colored silicone rubber bands are for. From this, at first glance, completely ordinary and unremarkable material, amazing things can be woven!
In the previous master classes, we talked about how to make jewelry, phone cases, key rings, figurines of animals, birds, and even minions out of rubber bands. And now we want to tell and show you what rubber band clothes for dolls are. Let's try to learn together a step-by-step weaving master class and make a beautiful outfit for a doll!

How to weave clothes for a doll from the Monster High series

Every child is sure that dolls, just like people, need clothes. Therefore, today we offer you to please your kids and weave beautiful elegant dresses for their dolls. Of course, these will be dresses for rubber dolls.
If desired, this dress model can be woven in different colors. This will allow you to easily and quickly update your doll wardrobe and spend a minimum of money on it! To weave a dress you will need:

• white, yellow and red rubber bands;
• hook.

Having collected everything we need, we can start creating dresses for rubber bands for dolls. We will weave doll clothes using the lumigurumi method. Using this technique will allow us to significantly speed up and also greatly facilitate the process of creating a dress for a doll.
We will begin the first stage of the master class with the formation of a chain of air loops. For a doll like ours, you will need exactly 11 pieces. If you want to weave clothes for another doll, you need to make a chain and wrap it around the body of the doll in the chest area. If the edges of the chain converge, then the length is sufficient.


We must connect the finished chain of elastic bands into a circle. To do this, you need to insert the hook into the first gum, and stretching it through all the loops, form a knot. After that, we continue to weave in a circle, while we start the working tool in each loop 1 time. It turns out that we do not make increments during work. Red rubber bands need to form 11 rows. Weave the next 2 rows in white.


In order not to be mistaken with the size, during weaving the dress must be periodically applied to the doll. The next stage of the training master class is slightly different from the previous one. Now we weave with increments.
Having formed a white belt, we continue weaving a bright red hem for the dress. After completing a small piece with increments, we will make a row with crochets. To do this, draw the rubber band through the loop and leave 2 of its parts on the hook. And then take a new part and draw it through all the loops on the hook.


Thanks to this, the hem of the dress for the doll will turn out to be more magnificent and beautiful.


Next, we take white elastic bands and weave 1 row along the transverse details of the previous row.


As a result, the newly formed row should be under the previous one. If you want to weave a short dress, you need to form 2 such rows: one is red and the other is white. For longer clothes, the number of rows increases. The last row is a frill. He wobbles as usual. The final stage of this small master class will be the creation of an ornament for a dress in the form of a flower. The flower will turn white-yellow. To create it, we first need to wrap the working tool in 3 turns with a white rubber band, and then transfer the resulting workpiece to 2 yellow ones. In total, we weave 5 such details.




They must be dropped onto one yellow one and tightened into a bundle. After that, you need to attach the finished flower to the dress with another rubber band.


Beautiful elegant clothes made of rubber bands for dolls are ready! After studying this small master class, you can weave a couple more dresses of the same style, but in a different color and length!

Weaving an outfit for a doll on a loom

Previously, to make a beautiful outfit for a doll, you had to spend a lot of free time and effort. One doll dress could be sewn or knitted for several evenings.
Now everything is much easier! Indeed, lately clothes for dolls made of rubber bands have been especially popular. It is not only faster to make, but also looks much brighter and more attractive than ordinary fabric dresses. To weave an unusual dress for a doll, you will need:

• multi-colored rubber bands;
• hook;
• machine.

Let's start the master class. Set the machine in front of you and put on the rubber bands in a circle, while twisting them with a figure eight. Put on another layer, but now without twisting.






From each column, remove a couple of lower parts and transfer it to the center. Without twisting, put another row on the machine.




Drop the bottom pairs to the center of the weave. Without changing the scheme of actions, weave 8 rows. In each row, use rubber bands of a new color. Remove 2 pieces from the side protruding column. And move them to the next ledge.










Insert the hook into the pair you just put on and hook the 2 bottom ones. Move them to the adjacent ledge. Continue weaving in a circle in the same pattern until a pair of rubber bands is put on the first column. Now remove the far row from the ledges. Pull 4 rubber bands on the near row.








Move the lower ones to the center of the weave. Put on 4 pcs again. Repeat steps 13 and 14 4 more times. After that, move the elastic band from the last column to the next one. Next, slide your hook through the elastic band you just put on, pull out the bottom pair and put it on the next ledge.










Weave according to this pattern to the end. Then pass the hook through all the rubber bands on the column. Hook them with a new pair and stretch it, as shown in the photo. Throw a free loop on the working tool.








We take 1 more pair and, holding it with our fingers, we stretch it through the blank on the hook. We put loose loops on the hook and repeat the steps 3 times. We leave the last loop on the finger. After that, we start the working tool in the corner of weaving. We cling to the rubber band held by the fingers.






We pass through the loops. We tighten the knot.






Unusual and bright clothes for rubber dolls are ready!
