Yarn Fall Tutorial [Part 1]

[1poohbearcutie]

Where did u learn this?

[evileva787]

this is actually called a half square knot if you have someone hold the end its easier and quicker if no one will hold the end tie the end to something to keep it nice and taught (: this makes nice necklaces and bracelets but it looks nice for the hair too ^.^

[Zslette4life]

I have the same blanket on my bed lol

[Beinwen]

For the "outer suit", you have 2 strands in each ball... is this the 11 yards of each colour folded over, or 2 11 yard lengths of each colour in each of the 2 balls?

[xxBrokenAngel66xx]

I have another question for you.. Lol I know i've asked a million of them but how do i get the balls of yarn on the side to have to open ends?? you tie them together but when i tried to do this I used a ruler since i didn't have measuring tape like you and i just looped it together into a ball but i don't have 2 ends like you did.. Lol what did i do wrong here Lol I'm so lost. cause i really wanna make these

[foldedaffection]

so basically its the "under over, under over" rull of macreme, i have never thought of making yarn falls this way, thx for helping me expan my horizons!

[TheLaurasofiarr]

how do you eat ?

[biohazard2886]

@TheLaurasofiarr I put food in my mouth, chew, then swallow. How do you eat?

[TheLaurasofiarr]

@biohazard2886 LOOK how many piercings you have xD I was just wondering .

[superkakashi96]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhh



[23GummybearMs]

Bad ass! ima go do this in a few minutes

thanks for sharing rock on girl! ^-^

[mynameisasecret]

i was wondering do you take commissions?

[vixenstalker]

You know what works well is if when you are macrameing (sp) using a clip board to hold the base yarn taut so you can pull the yarn easily, just a lil tip from my days of macremeing hemp!

[DinOCheCkerZz]

its its basically like making a huge hemp bracelet?

[TiahGothGirl96]

'Make sure its tight' *pauses video and makes tight* 'But not too tight!' SHIT! lol thats what i did xD

[babyjean666]

could you make me some if i send you the money first? please message me

[samsamalakasam]

i make bracelets using the same technique all the time

[norabrice]

yarn falls are time consuming. but they look awesome after your done.

[clairecmt77]

you look cute in this one:)

[InLoveWithMIYAVI]

this looks like it would take /so/ long D:

i guess its worth it in the end though :)

[biohazard2886]

@InLoveWithMIYAVI It does take quite a while, which is why I only use those as accents & not as the main strands lol.

[OOObritOOO]

hey bio i just wanted to say thnx on the tut for hair falls i made my first one today and it looks bitchin thank you !!!

[obviouseyes]

how many of the yarn falls do you have to make to one set?

[biohazard2886]

I don't usually make a full set of these, I use them as an accent to a set that has an easier twisting technique because it takes at least three hours to make just one strand. For a full set of falls [half of the pair] you will need at least 40-45 strands. That will take a loooong time which is why I only make about six and use them as an accent for a different set of falls, as seen on my other video [how to: install hair falls]

[obviouseyes]

what did you do with the 2nd elastic?

[biohazard2886]

That was for the other set.

[9408011]

can you plz show us how to make the bracelets

[biohazard2886]

Same way, just with no hair elastics, all you have to do is make a knot with the thread braid for about three inches then start the macrame, then braid again for the other end.

[9408011]

ok thnx

[AmandaGrace008]

AH we did macrome at summer camp when i was a kid! We called this "mermaid's beads"

:D

This is an amazing idea!

[YESENIA1315]

i like you pj howdo you install them

[janusix]

could yhuu make a tutorial on how to make the macrame braclets? plz...

tnx.. btw great work...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx =]

[Tinkerbelll89]

You ARE a Cutie! And thanks for the instruction... I am starting THIS minute!

[HiddenBubbles]

Yeah, I agree.

Lol.

[IdaPainkiller]

ah, shit the sound sux. but it looks awesome!

<3

[HiddenBubbles]

What are these used for?

[biohazard2886]

Artificial dread locks.

[HiddenBubbles]

Oh cool!

[biohazard2886]

Thanks It's a really good alternative for people who can't have real ones. I think It's the best kind because if one changes their mind they can take it off instead of having to cut all your hair off lol.

[PorcalainDoll]

okaythankyou. (i have a new account, sorry for any confusion) i'll post pictures when therye done :)

[PoisonAndPointeShoes]

heya doll, fabulous demonstration, just a quick question, how do you determine how long the pieces for the outer suit need to be compared to the length of the core?? &&keep up the fab work <3

[biohazard2886]

Thank you for the complements :) It really depends. I have no exact method, I just estimate at first, that's why I used the open ends to start with so that i can add more to the outer suit if needed. I went to a lot of trial and error to see how this will turn out so play with it a little hehe. All I know is that you should never go less than 6 yards.

[DKMontoya4670]

Your instruction on this method is one of the clearest and easiest to follow that I found. Threadbanger's bracelet macramae (on the road trip) was very confusing. You have a great teaching voice, too. Very calming and not hyper. Thanks so much. I'm wanting to make these into small wig-type pieces for children with cancer who have lost their hair. They look great, fun, young, and very happy. Thanks for your video.

[biohazard2886]

Thank you for all your kind words. I'm glad that this tutorial will be able to help children feel a little better :) If you can, please take pictures! I'd love to see them.

[951vixin]

do you rave?

[biohazard2886]

Nooope.

[GothicRavenGoddess]

this is a very cool technique! lol

[beelzebubsbast]

its just like making a hemp bracelet! thank you for this ive been wanting to make yarn falls for awhile.

[supernova622]

I really like the look of these, but with the time it must take to work with sooooo much yarn, it seems like it isn't really worth it, when braiding is so quickly and easy. Kudos to you for your dedication though lol

[biohazard2886]

Lol it does take a lot of time to make it, but it's very much worth it to me, the finished look is just so much better and fuller than any other yarn fall techniques :)

[RUBYxx12]

wow reminds me of gimp

[helivestubes]

Luv your craftyness! I remember doing this pattern in girlscouts making friendship bracelets!

I also Luv Threadbangers! Ive been a fan of theirs from the beginning!

You should sell these on Etsy too!

I think they sell for about 5 dollars a bunch [6 dreads to a bunch] but I think you can get more because yours are more detailed!

Good Luck!

;D

Helives!

[biohazard2886]

Thank you :) I have an Etsy account but haven't had the chance to set it up. I've been selling yarn falls for a while now, and because of the amount of time and effort needed to make it, I have a permanent price chart on it, hehe.

[timidgothica]

I enjoy how thorough you are, thanks for the tutorial!

[biohazard2886]

Thank you :) I want to make sure that it made sense even if it had awful audio quality..

[EvilAshanti]

You're amazing! I love ur peircings

[xRoarMe]

How long does it take you to finish one elastic? o: cause im planning to make one && im a bit busy with school.

[biohazard2886]

One set on a elastic or one strand? It really depends on how long and how many you make. With the 22" I was making on the video it took me several hours to finish just one strand. It took me three months to make 140+ strands. But you can always set your own time and go at your own pace.

[xRoarMe]

Thanks (: ill be wearing mine soon then

[biohazard2886]

That's great! You're welcome. Have fun with it :)

[ohiosforkillers]

how many do you put in a full set for one pigtail?

[biohazard2886]

A full set for one section can be 50 to 70+ on a ribbon depending on how thick you want it to be. I usually sew in more falls on finished strands for a more fuller look. I might make a tutorial about that in the near future.

[DemolitionGrrl]

Yer sooooo cute. ^_^ I found you on the TB forum. I used to do macrame when I was younger but now with a toddler I have time for nothing.

[biohazard2886]

Lol thanks :) Macrame does take time hehe.

[chararie03]

I use to make bracelets like that all the time.. pin it in to the couch or a pillow and just go to town! But your yarn falls are much much more time consuming and intricate!

[biohazard2886]

It does take forever. But It's very much worth it :)
