I remember spending hours as a kid making various bracelets for all of my friends. Keep repeating this process with the same color. The floss or string will start wrapping itself all the way around the more you do this. This is what will create the Chinese Ladder. Step 2: Choose one strand of floss and make a loop laying it across (from left to right) the other pieces of floss as seen above. It should look like a number four.Feng shui bracelets come in different materials such as jade, amethyst, gold, citrine, and black obsidian. The one thing they all have in common is the Pixui, which is a mythical creature in Chinese tradition that resembles a winged lion. The Pixui symbolizes good fortune and wealth.

Another benefit of your Feng Shui bracelet is to help set your intentions and keep you focused. After you put on your bracelet in the morning, touch the Pixui and state your intention for the day. Throughout the day, touch your Pixui to keep you focused on your goal.As stated previously, using Feng Shui in interior design can enhance your home’s energy and attract good things. The Feng Shui bracelet works the same way on your body. Your bracelet can help realign your body’s energy and bring balance back into your life.

There is also the possibility that the Feng Shui bracelet works like the Law of Attraction. If you believe that the Pixui will bring you wealth, then you will receive wealth. Positive energy brings more positive energy.

Edit: thank you for all the wonderful suggestions! I’ll tell them they’re making half hitch knots per u/j9beth (they recently learned square knots and gear hitch knots)… I think I’ll say it’s a “spiral staircase bracelet” but suggest as a troop we call it a “unicorn horn” bracelet or similar, since they’re Daisies and very into unicorns 😉

Our Daisies are doing the Violet petal this weekend and I thought I could have them do Chinese Staircase friendship bracelets because some of them learned some knot tying at a council event about 2 weeks ago. But uh, the name makes me a little bit uncomfortable and feels a little bit dated… Is this name OK? Is there a better one?By accepting all cookies, you agree to our use of cookies to deliver and maintain our services and site, improve the quality of Reddit, personalize Reddit content and advertising, and measure the effectiveness of advertising.

And you only need a few colorful threads, some beads (optional), and a couple of basic crafting tools. In this guide, I’ll show you a detailed guide on how to make a beautiful Chinese staircase bracelet following some simple steps.Do pick a good quality thread so that the bracelet looks good as new for the longest time. Do you have any additional queries or tips to share? If yes, drop them in the comments. Step 3: Pick one string and make a loop from left to right over the other strings. It should look like the number 4. Now pull the string across the loop or through the tail of the four, as shown in the picture above. Step 1: You need to cut 32 inches (ideal length) long threads and tie a knot at one end of the strings. Don’t tie the knot at the very edge. Leave a couple of extra inches; you’ll need it to tie the bracelet later.

You need to pull the string upward to make a tight knot and the remaining strings downwards. Repeat this process till you have enough length of this color. You must tie the knots tightly so that other colors don’t show through the gaps. Once you reach a significant length of about ¼ inch of the same colored thread, you’ll see the spiral design coming through.Step 4: Repeat the same step but this time with a different color thread. Remember how many loops you used in the first color, and use the same number of loops in all the colors to make the bracelet even. Do the same with other threads till you have a complete bracelet while leaving some extra. Make a knot at the end of the string. The Chinese staircase bracelets symbolize true friendship. These have been used as friendship bracelets for over two centuries, and their importance is still alive. People give Chinese staircase bracelets to friends or family members as a symbol of friendship or to show gratitude towards that person. Did you enjoy the process of making Chinese staircase bracelets? As you can see, making these bracelets is very easy. You only need to learn a single-knot design and use it for all threads.Step 5: Remove the tape from the top end of the bracelet. Now tie two ends of the bracelet together, and you have your Chinese staircase spiral bracelet ready.

This pattern is seen in many Chinese cultural products like jewelry, art, craft, etc. There are variations of the design, and you can customize it to people’s liking and fit.

When you finish making the spiral knots of all the threads, you need to make a knot at the bottom end of the threads and trim off the excess thread or leave it as it is. You can add a charm while trying the final knot to make it look even better.The Chinese staircase bracelet lanyard is a traditional Chinese bracelet design. It’s made with different colored silk threads and beads. Since silk threads are a bit difficult to tie, you need to have good skills in trying silk threads. The lanyard is attached to the end of the bracelet to tie the bracelet to the wrist.

But why is it called a Chinese staircase bracelet? These are called so because of how the threads are braided in a spiral style, making it look like a staircase. Besides, there is a double Chinese staircase bracelet, a traditional piece of jewelry made by interlocking two metal strings.Embroidery floss is the best thread to make Chinese staircase bracelets. These threads last longer and don’t easily lose color. You can also use any medium-thick string, like yarn or other cotton strings.

But there’s a sense of urgency around the evolution of stairs and a revolution in accessibility. And this is what the future holds for stairs: make them less visible, disguised in less sumptuous shapes so we feel as if we are gliding through them, and not climbing them. Hybrid versions of stairs and ramps just like the one in the image below are beginning to appear more often and will start to become the norm.

We all know the basic purpose of a staircase is merely utilitarian: it facilitates ascent and descent, i.e., it facilitates access to higher places. But remember we mentioned before that there’s more to a staircase than meets the eye? Literature, cinema and painting are often a source of imagery related to stairs and use staircases in various artistic narratives due to their extraordinary symbolic power. Some of the most famous film scenes set significant cinematic moments on or around staircases to enhance the meaning of a scene and therefore inspire grandeur, surprise, elegance and beauty!In his comprehensive analysis of stairs, John Templer – Professor of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology – also references research carried out over twenty years about slips, trips and falls on stairs. In fact, the epidemic of stair-related deaths and injuries cannot be overlooked, and his influential books have contributed to raising awareness of the issue, which is especially visible in an increasingly ageing society.

A steep, twisting staircase with 241 steps was built on the island of Gaztelugatxe, in the Basque Country in Spain, to take people all the way to the top of the island. At the very top, visitors will find a hermitage that dates all the way back to the 10 century. The hermitage can be accessed via a narrow path, which crosses the solid stone bridge. “Game of Thrones” was filmed at the location, making use of the breath-taking scenery as the backdrop for Dragonstone island. Stairs like these have been around since antiquity, and it’s amazing to think that the same simple structure is still what we build and use today. Talk about structural longevity! The architectural planning behind a staircase combines form and function, upper and lower space. However, stairs are always bound by the limits of the human body – which might be why they haven’t evolved much in the last few thousand years. Not to mention the fact that stairs can make us trip and fall more often than you would imagine! And in fact, naturally-occurring staircases may have provided the necessary inspiration for human-made structures since the beginning of time. But what inspired us humans to start building our own? The obvious answer is geological dangers. After all, we’ve always needed to find solutions to overcome physical obstacles when we’ve wanted to gain access to higher ground.The word “stair” in old English would be “stǣger” – a word with Germanic origins which is also related to the Dutch word “steiger”, meaning “to climb”. If we think about the word “scale”, it shares the same etymological root as the Latin word for stairs: “scala”. And stairs can also perform a “scaler” function, because the dimension of steps must always conform to the comfortable limits imposed by human gait. It is curious how we end up using variants of the word “stair”, from different language roots. In romance languages the word for “stair” can be “escalera” (Spanish), “escada” (Portuguese) or “escalier” (French), all of which have a root in the Latin plural noun “scalaria”, as documented, for example, by the Roman architect Vitruvius.

Tribes from West Africa and Panama still use one of the simplest and earliest types of stairs. Working as a separation between the ground and a house, these are used particularly in tropical countries, where people build their huts a little way off the ground so as to keep their homes safe from flooding. But it was in Mesopotamia and Egypt that the earliest straight single flight of stairs appeared, built to provide access to upper floors (Templer, p.19). Later, during the period of classical antiquity, Greco-Roman complex staircases started being built – spiral, zigzag and double-riser staircases came into being. The spiral shape was ideal to save space, and although the oldest example dates back to the 5 century BC, it was only in the wake of the influential design of the Trajan’s Column that this type of stair shape became a trend in Roman architecture. Centuries later, Medieval architects started to experiment will all kinds of dynamic shapes, but Renaissance artists were the ones to go that extra mile. Renaissance artists and architects started to build bigger staircases, to increase the potential of the staircase as an architectural structure, resulting in sumptuous baroque and mannerist staircases, all with dramatic amounts of volume (Templer, p. 60).Shortly after, and inspired by “Relativity”, a duo of mathematicians, Lionel and Roger Penrose, introduced the “impossible object”, also known as “The Penrose steps”, in a 1958 paper. In 1960, and in response to them, Escher reproduced the Penrose staircase “Ascending and Descending”:

In fact, the act of “climbing” has often been a metaphor for the development of human knowledge and scientific progress. Getting to the top of stairs offers a broader and more comprehensive view of the world. Therefore, it is only natural that such an archetypal element would become a subject of study for many scholars, such as John Templer, who wrote the first theoretical, historical, and scientific analysis of stairs from pre-historic times to modern times: “The Staircase: History and Theories”, 1992, MIT.Until the nineteenth century, stairs were the only form of transportation to higher levels, and even now, stairs are necessary in all buildings to provide a safe exit route in an emergency. Looking into the future, it’s now clear that modern architects have started to focus on accessibility while designing stairs, so we think it’s safe to say that staircases will continue to be a vital part of buildings – even in the very distant future.

“That staircase is a rather sad, pessimistic subject, as well as being very profound and absurd. (…) Yes, yes, we climb up and up, we imagine we are ascending; every step is about 10 inches high, terribly tiring – and where does it all get us? Nowhere.”In around the year 1200, mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci discovered the unique properties of the “Fibonacci sequence”, also known as Fibonacci’s Golden Ratio. The sequence of the numbers (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34), if visualized, makes a spiral. The Golden Ratio was used to achieve balance and beauty in many Renaissance paintings and sculptures, Leonardo Da Vinci being one of the artists who made use of it. Almost every spiral staircase forms this sequence, meaning that when looked at from a particular angle, they give the illusion of a never-ending staircase. Nature has inspired architects around the world to create astonishing structures, but there are also structures that cannot fit into the laws of nature. Therefore, mathematicians have found places for impossible structures to exist: in paintings or in dream-like worlds. One example of that is a lithographic print by M.C. Escher done in 1953. It´s called “Relativity” because each staircase angle depends on the subject’s position in space. Together, the different angles compose an impossible staircase. An intrinsic part of being human entails both the idea of making signs and understanding them. We created a symbolic world around us and everything we build is part of a social and symbolic language. So, when it comes to the shape of stairs, they have long been archetypes – forms or images that occur all over the earth!The History of Stairs is the history of longevity itself, of the constant replication of the same structure and function. And to tell the story of stairs is to tackle the challenge of telling a never-ending tale that’s part history, part fiction. There’s much more to a staircase than meets the eye!

At the very point when it seemed that staircases couldn’t become any more complex, double helix staircases appeared. A beautiful example is the staircase in Château Chambord, in the Loire Valley, France. It is believed to have been designed by Leonardo da Vinci. A double helix staircase allowed guests, servants and royals to simultaneously move up and down the stairs without ever crossing paths.Stairs sure did evolve quickly in terms of their aesthetic, architectural and cultural goals. In fact, they’ve even reached a point where they have become symbols that populate our imaginary world!It is hard to work out when exactly the idea of stairs came about – when they stopped being a feature of nature and started to become a useful, intentional structure. If you truly want to know about the history of an object, you have to start with the origin of the word that designates it. Some philosophers may even say that only by giving an object a name does it begin to exist, so there must have been different moments in time, in different language roots, when the object we know as “stair” was named for the first time.

Exploring the duality within a staircase is not something you think about every day, and you might be wondering: is there that much to say about staircases? Well, when you work at a stairlift company, it is inevitable that you analyse stairs and staircases in all their shapes and sizes, depending on their context and function. Before you know it, you find yourself a great contemplator of staircases, either amazed by their grandeur or unsettled by how steep they are. We want to tell you all about the fascinating world of staircases!

At Stannah, we have been well aware of the epidemic of stair-related falls and injuries since we built our first stairlift, more than 40 years ago. Although modern-day stairs usually have less complicated designs, the invention of stairlifts and lifts has changed how stairs are seen. To a certain extent, for many older adults struggling with stairs, getting the opportunity to glide up and down their stairs on a stairlift is a very welcome alternative to risking their safety on their stairs. This awareness has become increasingly important as the population of the world ages. Now, with our increased life-spans and as we start living in more inclusive societies, with a greater need for walkers and wheelchairs, stairs have become a real issue. So, should we consider the stairs villains now? They surely pose a real obstacle to universal access – a huge challenge that must now be tackled by modern architects. For example, how would they create a staircase that is accessible to all? Ramps are the obvious solution and can be very useful – but can also be very slippery. Around the world, while new solutions like innovative stairlifts and other lifting technology are appearing, to help people access conventional stairs, architects around the world are also rethinking stair design to try to make them usable to the elderly and people with disabilities.

The Penrose staircase in this print shows repetitive, endless work, with absolutely no practical purpose or result. In a letter to a friend, Escher explained his existentialist point of view:“The Staircase: The Architecture of Ascent”, by Oscar Tusquets Blanca & Martine Diot, 2013, explores the history and meaning of the staircase, from a simple, straight flight of steps to a radical spiral staircase. It is interesting how we transitioned from straightforward staircases that suggested an uncomplicated route, to spiral or twisted staircases, symbols of power or status, spiritual elevation and the climb to knowledge. Here’s an image of a painting by Rembrandt that features a spiral staircase:

And it’s not that big of a jump to go from naturally-occurring staircases to man-made structures in nature. Just take a look at these man-made stairs that perfectly blend in with nature to create magnificent settings for breath-taking views. For thousands of years, before stair-like structures were used inside houses, they were built into nature to provide access to remote places, especially on mountains or islands.Motion pictures are the ultimate place for impossible stairs, as it is through this medium that Penrose staircases acquired movement and, somehow, came to exist in 3D. A famous movie that pictures Penrose staircases is Christopher Nolan’s “Inception”, in which complex spaces in the dreamlike world are designed by a character called Ariadne (named after the character from Greek mythology associated with mazes and labyrinths). To create the visual effects of Penrose steps, the stairs had to be built in such a way that when you view them from the highest level of the staircase, they should line up with the lowest level of the staircase. Only with a special camera lens could this be achieved!

Millions of years before humans came along and started encoding the world around them, planet earth had already created visually stunning steps of its own. These examples provide the answer to our question. All you have to do is look at a picture of the beautiful Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland – an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption about 50 million years ago – to see an example of an intricate, elaborate staircase in nature. We hope we’ve been able to change how you see the staircases that surround you. The design of even the simplest staircase is complex, and requires great knowledge, skill and ingenuity. We’ve realized that stairs can be structures of aesthetic admiration and a source of universal inspiration, but they must also be structures that are designed more carefully, in order to provide safety and universal access. The future demands a different use for stairs, and architects are expected to take functionality and universal accessibility to the next level! And we should all be taking steps now to ease the climb! In this painting, the light of the sun symbolizes the consciousness of the philosopher, and the spiral staircase the path he needs to ascend to reach enlightenment. In literature, T.S. Eliot’s poem Ash-Wednesday is another example of the recurrent archetypal representation of spiral staircases as a path towards spiritual illumination, through the twisting sentences of the verse, repeating the same words and phrases.

The Renaissance Period (14 to 17 centuries) was the exponent of elegance and complexity for staircase architecture. This period meant a revival of ancient Greek and Roman culture, so artists and architects took symbolism one step further. Grand curved and spiral stone stairs were prominent. These stairs were known as “Staircases of Honour” and were designed to make the transition from the ground floor to the so called “piano mobile” (or upper floor) as pleasant and entertaining as possible. They were mostly influenced by theatre designers who conceived stairways to inspire a sense of power, achievement and enlightenment (Templer, p.128).

This is an unusual jewelry item known as the Chinese Staircase. It’s unclear what the Chinese part of the name refers to, but the design is said to be like a spiral staircase. Bracelets for friendship were traditionally made by Native Americans. They are intended to represent a wish shared by friends, as well as an expectation. I used 9 strands, 3 of each color, so I did 3 knots with each strand to create 9 layers of my first color. Make sure you move your left strand all the way to the right side before taking your right strand. Back knots should be formed by wrapping this around your neck.A Chinese Staircase bracelet typically requires at least 24 strings to create. The amount of strings needed may vary depending on the complexity of the pattern being used and the size of the bracelet. The strings must be strong and durable as you will be pulling and knotting them tightly throughout the process. It is important to make sure that you have enough strings to complete the bracelet, as running out of strings halfway through can be quite frustrating!

Tie an overhand knot as you fold the folded end. Close the knot as tightly as possible to the folded end, resulting in a small loop at the end. In order to achieve a more professional appearance, begin your bracelet with a friendship bracelet loop (or buckle). Tape the strings to the end with masking tape, place a safety pin under a clipboard, or secure them with a pin.

Once the bracelet has been woven as long as you require, tie a knot by making a loop with all three strings and pulling the ends through the loop as you loop your fingers around the three strings. If you want a more secure knot, a double knot can be used.

What are some ways to make a Chinese stair friendship bracelet? This guide will be based on yarn that is thin enough for a user’s requirements. At least my arm is in length.

Alternatively, you can use the color that is closest to the exact one. The Chinese Staircase Bracelet is unique in that it is handcrafted in a unique way. This bracelet is made by braiding individual strands of thread together into a spiral pattern that appears to be a stairway. A basic weaving technique is all that is required for this method to work. Weaving is accomplished by crossing the left and right strings, looping them over the middle one, and then stringing three strands of thread together. When the pattern is repeated several times, the strings move up the “staircase,” resulting in a spiral pattern. Weaving the ends of the bracelets requires a knot to secure them. Depending on the strength of the bracelet, either a single or double knot can be used. Weaving this one-of-a-kind bracelet has been done for centuries, and it is still popular today. Chinese Staircase Bracelet A lanyard is a traditional jewelry piece that has been around for centuries.

As you have built enough layers and reached your desired length, you can either tie the staircase off with an overhand knot or leave the rest alone. The Chinese Staircase bracelet is so named because it resembles an intricate staircase. Its unique design was inspired by the ancient Chinese architecture from the Ming Dynasty in the 15th century.
