Figures from beads and wire for beginners. Bead figurines: weaving patterns for beginners with a detailed description of the process

We are accustomed to the fact that mainly jewelry is made from beads: necklaces, bracelets, pendants. But this is not enough for craftswomen, they discover new forms, interesting schemes invent something extraordinary. For example, among all atypical products, animal figurines are very popular. In our article, we will show and tell you what voluminous beaded animals can be (schemes for beginner craftswomen, a master class on making such animals, and much more).

Volumetric animals from beads

Such voluminous animals can be used as a toy, key chain or pendant. There are many shapes and patterns of three-dimensional animals.

For example, here is such a crab, the weaving of which even a child will master:

Or this funny lizard:

For weaving such trifles, it is better to use wire, since the fishing line does not hold its shape well. And of course, the brighter and better the beads, the better. And if you replace the color of the beads when weaving a lizard, for example, with green, then this will already be a crocodile figurine.

First of all, such beaded animals are interesting for the very beginner bead lovers - children.

MK for the manufacture of a tiger

Here is a small and simple master class for making such a tiger cub:

Materials:

  • Beads (brown, white, black, orange);
  • beads;
  • Fine needle;
  • Wire.

Making a tiger cub

This tiger cub needs to be woven using mosaic technique.

1) First of all, you need to weave the cheeks of a tiger cub.

To do this, we string a bead on the wire and fix it by passing the needle through the bead again. Then we string white beads. To weave one side of the cheek, you need white beads and 2 black beads. Then, with the help of a mosaic seam, the cheeks are sewn together.

3) We string orange beads on both sides of the spout in a circle. Only 4 rows of orange beads, and then we weave black beads - the eyes of a tiger cub.

4) We need to continue to weave the head of the tiger cub in a circle, alternating black and orange beads - this is how we create stripes on his body.

5) With the help of square weaving, white and orange beads, ears are woven. It consists of an ear and 2 parts - white and orange, then these parts are connected and sheathed in a circle with orange beads. Ready ears are connected to the tiger's head.

6) With the help of white beads, the lower jaw is woven, on which the red tongue (6 red beads) is located. The lower jaw is combined with the head.

7) With the help of orange, white and black beads, a striped body of a tiger cub is woven.

8) After 17 rows, from the 18th, you need to start removing the beads on the sides, and then in front. The body should be striped and with a white tummy.

10) The tail is woven last. It is a square cord. By combining all the parts, we get a cute tiger cub:

Flat beaded animals

In addition to voluminous animals, there is also the weaving of flat animals. Such products look especially good as key rings.

Flat shaped animal bead weaving is done with flat parallel technique and reverse needle weaving.

horse

Consider a master class on making a small flat horse.

Materials:

  • Beads (black and brown, or white and brown for a zebra);
  • Wire.

Making a horse

Such a horse is woven using the scheme:

Or, if you are planning a zebra:

You need to start weaving from the muzzle of the horse. In the diagram, the muzzle is marked with an arrow.

A wire 1.5 m long is taken and 1 row is woven in the middle with parallel weaving.

Following him, another 6 rows with the same weaving, according to the scheme.

The mane is flying. To do this, we string 3 beads along the wire and pass through two, excluding the last one, and tighten.

After that, another row is woven with a parallel technique, and then again the mane

The ear is weaving. 6 beads are strung on the wire and the last bead is skipped, and the wire is threaded through the penultimate one and tightened. Then 3 more beads are strung and pulled through the first bead of the ear. Everything is dragging on.

And then we continue to weave a mane.

The fourth "hryvnia" must be woven along the last row. The wire that is on the side of the ear is twisted between the last beads of the row made by the parallel technique. And on the same wire we weave a mane.

Then the wire is twisted again and the mane is woven again. Thus, we should get 7 "hryvnias", and the wire will be both ends on one side.

The wire, which was always on the front side, is threaded through a row of beads, which is closer to the muzzle of the horse. And tighten the wire.

And then we thread the wire back through the next row. As a result, the wires will disperse.

Weave a neck. Weaving is carried out in parallel rows according to the scheme, and next to the four rows you need to weave 1 hryvnia each, and then weave it 2 rows. But already without a mane. And in the last row you need to add a wire to weave the legs of a horse:

Following the scheme, the leg is woven out - weaving is parallel. After the leg is woven, the wire must be cut and wrapped. Then again weave several rows with parallel weaving and again add a fishing line for the 2nd leg.

The last row is woven as in the photo below:

And now we begin to weave the tail - as always, weaving is parallel.

So unpretentious and in a simple way we wove a little horse.

So, in our article we told you how to make animals from beads - voluminous and flat. We hope these little creatures will delight you and your loved ones.

Beaded products have gained particular popularity not very long ago, but have already managed to win many fans. This article will tell you how to weave figures from ordinary beads with weaving patterns for beginners.

Learning to parallel weave beaded figures with patterns

This kind of weaving with beads is not at all as difficult as it seems to everyone at first glance. You just need to remember one principle: the rows in the diagram are divided into front and back, that is, under each line goes row of the upper part, and under them - the lower part. The stripes on the diagram are every two lines: stripe, top row, bottom row, stripe, and so on.

Having mastered this method, you can already begin to weave figures from beads.

Cutie dolphin with step by step description

  1. Medium size beads (blue, white and black);
  2. Wire.

Let's start weaving:

The blue beads are on top and the white beads are on the bottom. Weaving begins with a spout and goes through the rows:

  1. The first and second rows are woven similarly to each other: a pair of blue ones; white.
  2. Third row: five blue; a pair of whites.
  3. Fourth row: seven blue; three whites.
  4. Fifth row: nine blue; four whites.
  5. Sixth row: blue, black, seven blue, black, blue; five whites.
  6. Seventh and eighth rows: eleven blue; five whites.
  7. Ninth, tenth and eleventh rows: ten blue; four whites.
  8. Twelfth row: ten blue; three whites.
  9. Thirteenth row: eight blue; a pair of whites.
  10. Fourteenth row: six blue; one white.
  11. Last, fifteenth, row: five blue; white.
  12. Next, we make a flat tail (not in double rows, but only one), according to this scheme: 2-3-5, then the ends of the wire diverge in different directions and complete the whole work with three beads lined up in a triangle.
  13. The fins are made in the same way as the tail, but according to the scheme: 1-2-2. The ends of the wire are inserted into the seventh and eighth rows white color, pass through all the beads and the second fin is done in a mirror image: 2-2-1. The wire is fixed.

Little beautiful dolphin is ready! And the circuit and the result are shown below:

Thus, you can weave the following figures:

We try to create products with our own hands using conventional techniques

Flat figurines are just as popular as voluminous ones, and making them is much easier. The meaning of the work is to cross the two ends of the wire in each row of beads.

Scheme for creating a skunk for beginners

To make it, you need to take:

  1. wire;
  2. Black, white and blue beads.

Let's start weaving:

  1. Row one - one black bead.
  2. Row two - three black beads.
  3. Third row - black, blue, black, blue, black.
  4. Row four - five black.
  5. Row five - black, white black.
  6. Row six - black, white, black, white, black.
  7. Further, paws go on both sides: we collect six black beads, leave three, and after three we return back.
  8. Rows seven, eight and nine - black, white, two black, white, black.
  9. Row tenth - black, white, black, white, black.
  10. Paws go again, according to the same pattern.
  11. Row eleven and twelfth - black, white, black.
  12. Row thirteen - black, a pair of white, black.
  13. Rows fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth - black, three white, black.
  14. Row seventeenth - black, a pair of white, black.
  15. Row eighteenth - black, white, black.
  16. Row nineteen - a pair of blacks.
  17. Row twenty - one black.
  18. We fix the wire and hide it back.

Such a wonderful little animal can be woven both according to the description and according to the scheme.

Volumetric figures from beads are an exciting activity. When first introduced to diagrams volumetric figures ok, it seems that making figurines is a difficult task, but we hasten to assure you - this is not so. One tip - to stiffen the structural elements, we recommend using a thin wire.

IN Lately the art of beading has become especially popular among needlewomen and craftswomen. This fashionable needlework gives many the opportunity to make their own beautiful and unusual crafts. Beaded products are not only beautiful, they are also diverse. Figurines are especially popular, because they are the embodiment of affection, peace, comfort and kindness.

There are 2 types of beading: flat and voluminous. Volumetric beading is more complicated than flat beading, but at the same time, the product turns out to be more interesting. This type of needlework allows you to develop fine motor skills and creative thinking.

To weave a voluminous animal from beads (in this case, a cat), we need wire (preferably light, as the dark one will stand out on white beads and spoil the look), black and white beads, as well as a few beads of red (for the mouth), green (for the eyes), gray (for the tail) colors, as well as a larger pink bead for the nose.

Method parallel weaving We carry out the work according to the scheme proposed above. We start weaving with a nose, we finish with a tail.
If you wish, you can make a larger voluminous beaded animal, for example, a fat cat, if you increase the scheme in proportion to the size of this one.

We will replenish the collection of kittens with such a cute, funny beaded kitten. The master class will help you master the technique of volumetric weaving with beads. It greatly simplifies the work of software, which will clearly demonstrate in a schematic form the entire process of work. It is this master class that is perfect for those who are just starting to master this type of work, and already for those who have experience.

For work we need:

  1. wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm
  2. brown, white, orange, pink and green beads 2.5 mm
  3. fishing line

Getting started, first you need to cut off a piece of wire, its length should be two meters. First you need to weave one large piece, which will be the head, then the body, after the tail for the kitten. After that, you can start weaving ears, paws, which are made separately.

Weave according to the scheme

We start with the kitten's head, do not forget that during weaving, insert two pink beads for the mouth, and for the eyes, you need to insert two more green beads. We take two small pieces of wire for the ears and make triangles. In order to fix the ears on the head, you need to stretch the ends of the wire through the beads of the head rows.

Now we are making paws for the cat, for this we take four pieces of wire big size and we make them according to the scheme, also according to the shown scheme, we attach the paws to the body. After that, we proceed to the design of the kitten's muzzle, namely, we make eyes. We take black paint and draw pupils on each green. We put small pieces of fishing line through the muzzle through the beads, these will be such antennae. Such a cat can be used not only as a decoration, but also to make a keychain or pendant for a backpack or bag out of it.

Prepare for work:

  1. beads
  2. fishing line (approximately 4 m)
  3. wire
  4. bead (diameter 15-20 mm, we will braid it)

Weave a mesh of three beads, a width of 2.5 rhombuses.


When half of the girth of a large bead is ready, the fishing line must be fixed (along the red line in the diagram). In this case, when we connect the mesh into a ring, the work will not spread. No need to cut the line!
Now we unwind another 1-1.5 meters of fishing line from the reel and weave the second half of the net. In the course of work, do not forget to try on the mesh to the bead. It must be pulled tight.


Before we connect the mesh into a ring, both ends of the fishing line must be on the same side. We do not touch the connection yet. It is performed with the same end of the fishing line with which we wove the 2nd half of the work.
We part the ends of the fishing line in different directions, threading it into beads.

We finish the top of the bead with a mosaic. You can weave in turn on each side so that the mesh does not slip.
Here the length of the grid is 14 rhombuses, 4 rows of weaving without reductions, 6 beads were removed in the 5th row and 4 more pieces were removed in the 8th row.

Muzzle

Volumetric beading is not at all difficult if you carefully study the diagram. We continue. In the photo, asterisks mark the places where the cheeks and nose are attached. Here it is necessary to flash two or three times, but not tight, we leave the pink bead and pull it up with two stitches to the very base.

We select eyes.

At this stage, we leave the muzzle. We pass to the cat from the end.

We bring the needle to the place where the tail is attached.


We move to the ears.

When the ears are ready, we fix the tip of the fishing line and cut it off. If the paws are made of fishing line - leave it like that.

Paws

We find the axis of symmetry. We select the beads to which we will attach the paws.

To secure, we draw the wire through 2-3 beads. We leave the bead from the paws.

We make paws from fishing line in two passes - on the second we skip the bead closest to the white beads. This is necessary for the cat to stand on its full foot.

Paws are ready.

Mustache

We wind 10-15 cm of fishing line. We tie a knot in the middle with a knot.

With a small hook, we stretch the loops of the skein between the spout and the cheek from the bottom up on each side. One tip must be passed through the bead of the warp or spout and tied with the second tip, then tucked in the direction of the hank. Trim your mustache.

that volumetric beading lesson is over. Our cat is ready!

Today we offer you a scheme for weaving key chains - three-dimensional figurines made of beads, a cat and a panther. The diagram is attached.
In this case, we see what a panther looks like.

Below it is described how to make balls based on a ring and 4 beads, because it is this method that is used in the technique of weaving our figures.
A ball is made with one tip of a wire or fishing line, without a base. The scheme for collecting the ball is shown in Figure 111. In weaving we use beads with large holes.
We collect 4 beads on the fishing line and close them into a ring, cross both ends (working and not working) in a bead. How to do this is shown in Figure 112 a. Do not tie a knot at the end. We leave a tail 6-7 cm long.
Again we collect 3 beads and close in a ringlet, draw the end of the fishing line into beads 7 and 2 ring-bases. See Figure 112 b. Dial 2 beads and close them into the next ring, pass the tip of the fishing line into bead 5 of the previous ring, from top to bottom and into beads 2 and 3 of the base ring (see figure 112 c).

In the same way, we make another ringlet, we pass the fishing line into beads 8, 3 and 4, and then into bead 7 of the first ringlet from the bottom up (figure 112 g).

We collect 1 bead on the fishing line and pass its tip into beads 10, 4, 7 (see figure 112 e). Now the ball must be pulled off, it will gain volumetric form. To do this, draw the end of the fishing line through beads 6, 9, 11, 12. Pull the line tight. To finish the work, we stretch the fishing line into bead 7 from top to bottom (see figure 112 e).

Next, we tie a knot from the fishing line of the working and non-working ends, cut the ends of the fishing line and melt. It turned out a ball of three vertical rows of beads, in each row - 4 beads. There are 12 in total (see Figure 113).

Here's what we got:

We select the fabric for the toy. Fold it in half and cut it out. The diagram below shows what parts and how to cut.

Scheme

We sew the details of the head, stuff the head with cotton, sew up the hole. At the base of each ear, make a small fold and sew on the ears. We sew on a nose, eyes, embroider a mouth, make a mustache from threads.

Now we prepare the frame, as shown in the diagram below. To do this, you need to take 3 pieces of wire of the desired length, twist them together in the center. We do this so that one of our wires becomes a neck, turning into a ponytail, the other two become paws.

We wrap the body of the cat with cotton wool and threads. We attach the skin for the body to the back of the cat, before that, making small cuts on it for the neck and tail. Sew up at the bottom of the abdomen. We fold the lining in front and behind and sew it up so that the edge is not visible.

We string beads on the neck, paws and tail. We give the desired shape to our frame. The paws are assembled on a thread, we use a seam "over the edge". We make a hole on the back of the cat's head, insert a wire neck loop into it. Sewing up the hole.

There is no diagram in this toy model, but the principle of weaving itself will be presented below with detailed description.

We need beads for the cat's body - gray or black, white for the muzzle, paws and abdomen and red for the nose, cotton wool for stuffing, wire for the base, monofilament and "Plastic" for the base.

Ingenuity is always welcome. Therefore, this figurine is made by the author from ... chewing gum.

Weaving begins with a muzzle.

Direct weaving or mosaic is used. You can weave spots or stripes on the cat's skin with beads of a different color. You can make changes with larger beads, it all depends on your imagination.

The paws and tail are made using the technique of mosaic tourniquet, we sew them separately.

Look at the cat from different angles, so the weaving technique will become clearer.



Our voluminous beaded toy is ready!

We prepare a set of necessary accessories:

  1. beads of the main color (golden)
  2. for the color of the belly and paws, silver beads
  3. green beads for eyes
  4. for the nose and mouth pink and red beads
  5. to create the body one large ball
  6. for the head the ball is slightly smaller than for the body
  7. wire for tail and legs
  8. fishing line for ears
  9. beading tools
  10. beads to match the thread

First we will make the body of the cat. To do this, you need to paint a large ball in the tone of the main color, which will be the cat. At the same time, we leave only the white belly not painted over. You can pick up a ball in the desired color for work.

After the paint has dried, we continue to work. Around the entire circumference of the ball, we begin weaving a chain on a thread with beads. For convenience, we fix the ball with improvised means, after that we continue weaving, constantly increasing, it is unforgettable that we need to insert silver beads, thus making the cat's tummy.

When the row along the circumference of the ball turns out to be wide, we begin to decrease by bead.

Now we begin to make the tail and paws. To do this, take a small piece of wire and fold it in half.

We put on a bead in the middle of the wire in the color of the main color of the cat. We string the beads to half the wire, then we put on a few beads of silver color and then again golden. You should end up with the same number of beads, now bend the wire in half and twist it. So we do all the other paws.

The longest piece of wire will be for the tail, weave it in the same way as the paws. With the help of the ends of the wire of the paws and tail, we fix them to the body of the cat. We pass the wire through the bead in the intended place, and twist the remaining wires around the wire. We cut off the remaining ones or wind them on the paw, while maintaining symmetry.

Now we make the cat's head, for this we take the ball that we prepared in advance. If this did not turn out to be the case, then you can simply take a piece of foil and roll it up, making the ball a little smaller in diameter than the cat's body. We paint the ball under the main color of the cat with acrylic paint.

We fix it by passing a needle with fishing line through the ball, and begin to braid the head with beads. We start with a belt weave like a body. As the final stage, we create a cute muzzle for the cat.

We take two green beads and sew them symmetrically one next to the other. Weave the nose and mouth through the beads of the muzzle with pink beads.

For the ears, we create a corner from the wire and string beads on it, you can make them of any shape you wish. For the mustache, we use fishing lines, which we pass through the muzzle in place of the spout.

It remains to fasten the head to the body, and therefore on one of the two balls we weave one row with crosses from beads, so we form the neck. Then we sew the head to the body and tightly tighten all the threads. For decor, you can make a bow and attach a cat from any braid. Now the cat is ready.

To make such a voluminous beaded toy in the form of a beautiful cat, we need: beads of two colors - for the color and for the tummy and paws. Red beads on the heart. Just a little bit of beads for the mouth, eyes and nose, as well as a ball (for ping-pong). Line, wire. Beads on the paws and tail (thicker) and ears (thinner).

We paint the ball in the color of the cat and leave a circle under the tummy.

On the painted ball weave a chain around its circumference with a cross. The ball should be pierced crosswise so that the braid does not slide over it.

We weave a strip on both sides of the white spot in such a way as shown in the photo. When the row becomes too wide, we decrease (weave two beads as one).

We get a braided ball. This is the body of a cat.

Next, we will deal with the tail and paws. We put on a bead on a wire folded in half and twist it, leaving pieces of 2-3 cm. We make 5 blanks. The longest is for the tail. The shortest for the front paws.

We attach the tail and paws to the body of the cat in this way: pass through the bead, twist and remove the tip (bite). You can not bite, but just wrap.


Now the paws and tail must be braided. We do this in the way of a mosaic tourniquet. In this case - on 5 beads with 3 beads in the base.


When we weave to the bead, weave a cross with an addition on the edge of the bundle. After that, we braid the bead itself. Thus we make all the paws and tail. For the head, take the foil, roll it into a ball. We braid it in the same way as we braided the ball. There is no need to make reductions in place of the muzzle.

The heart is made like this: the canvas is woven with a cross in the shape of a heart, we make 2 of these. Calculation - 5x3 crosses. Next, we sew with a cross, we insert beads inside and all this must be sewn to the paws of the cat.

We make a muzzle: sew on bead eyes. The nose and muzzle must be braided between the beads of our braid. We make ears and mustaches.

Cross stitch the head to the body.

We fix the fishing line with the help of a needle.

Volumetric beaded toy is ready. A cute cat that is not ashamed to give.

For voluminous figures, such as a white beaded cat, a fishing line or wire is used; on a fishing line, the product is better. At volumetric beading the number of beads indicated in the diagram is dialed into a closed ring, and then new rows are added.

With two needles, we collect a chain of 14 pairs of beads (Figure 1), close the chain into a ring, connecting the beginning and end. Both needles are brought out in one direction, through pairs of rings opposite the joint. Weave another chain of 6 pairs of beads. It turned out the frame of the cat's head. We make the head completely according to scheme number 2.

Ears in figure 3, braiding them to the base of the head in the place indicated in figure 4. On this basis of the head with ears, additional braids should be made to imitate wool (fig. 5). Mark the nose with 3 beads on the muzzle, make eyes and attach the nose. Weave mustaches from small pearl beads - 8, 8 and 6 beads in each cat's antennae (Fig. 6).

Beaded products have gained particular popularity not very long ago, but have already managed to win many fans. This article will tell you how to weave figures from ordinary beads with weaving patterns for beginners.

Learning to parallel weave beaded figures with patterns

This kind of weaving with beads is not at all as difficult as it seems to everyone at first glance. You just need to remember one principle: the rows in the diagram are divided into a front part and a back part, that is, under each line there is a row of the upper part, and under them - the lower part. The stripes on the diagram are every two lines: stripe, top row, bottom row, stripe, and so on.

Having mastered this method, you can already begin to weave figures from beads.

  1. Medium size beads (blue, white and black);
  2. Wire.

Let's start weaving:

The blue beads are on top and the white beads are on the bottom. Weaving begins with a spout and goes through the rows:

  1. The first and second rows are woven similarly to each other: a pair of blue ones; white.
  2. Third row: five blue; a pair of whites.
  3. Fourth row: seven blue; three whites.

  5. Sixth row: blue, black, seven blue, black, blue; five whites.
  6. Seventh and eighth rows: eleven blue; five whites.
  7. Ninth, tenth and eleventh rows: ten blue; four whites.
  8. Twelfth row: ten blue; three whites.
  9. Thirteenth row: eight blue; a pair of whites.
  10. Fourteenth row: six blue; one white.
  11. Last, fifteenth, row: five blue; white.
  12. Next, we make a flat tail (not in double rows, but only one), according to this scheme: 2-3-5, then the ends of the wire diverge in different directions and complete the whole work with three beads lined up in a triangle.
  13. The fins are made in the same way as the tail, but according to the scheme: 1-2-2. The ends of the wire are inserted into the seventh and eighth rows of white color, pass through all the beads and the second fin is made in a mirror image: 2-2-1. The wire is fixed.

Little beautiful dolphin is ready! And the circuit and the result are shown below:

Thus, you can weave the following figures:

We try to create products with our own hands using conventional techniques

Flat figurines are just as popular as voluminous ones, and making them is much easier. The meaning of the work is to cross the two ends of the wire in each row of beads.

Scheme for creating a skunk for beginners

To make it, you need to take:

  1. wire;
  2. Black, white and blue beads.

Let's start weaving:

  1. Row one - one black bead.
  2. Row two - three black beads.
  3. Third row - black, blue, black, blue, black.
  4. Row four - five black.
  5. Row five - black, white black.
  6. Row six - black, white, black, white, black.
  7. Further, paws go on both sides: we collect six black beads, leave three, and after three we return back.
  8. Rows seven, eight and nine - black, white, two black, white, black.
  9. Row tenth - black, white, black, white, black.
  10. Paws go again, according to the same pattern.
  11. Row eleven and twelfth - black, white, black.
  12. Row thirteen - black, a pair of white, black.
  13. Rows fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth - black, three white, black.
  14. Row seventeenth - black, a pair of white, black.
  15. Row eighteenth - black, white, black.
  16. Row nineteen - a pair of blacks.
  17. Row twenty - one black.
  18. We fix the wire and hide it back.

Such a wonderful little animal can be woven both according to the description and according to the scheme.

Surely, many of us have thought about how to give a special flair to our style with the help of little things, decorate the interior, how to cheer up a friend or colleague by presenting him with a small and cute present, how to diversify a child’s leisure time in line or a trip. Everything is much simpler than it might seem at first glance. Cute animals made of beads will help us with this. In this article we will look at weaving patterns

Where to use them?

The scope of use of small figures is very diverse. First of all, a bunch that comes to mind looks very unusual, which is guarded by a lion or a beaded dog, doesn't it? Yes, and small neat and bears look amazing on the keys.

In addition, small figures as pendants look great. Most often, voluminous products are used for these purposes, attracting attention and uplifting mood. Volumetric animals are also used for making brooches. butterflies, ladybugs and dragonflies will unusually decorate a blouse or dress.

An excellent addition to the gift will be small wicker animals that will complement the present well. They also fit well into the interior. In this case, the size of the product should be made larger.

Patterns for weaving animals from beads will help create wonderful toys for kids. With them, they will have fun in a boring queue at the clinic or on a long car trip.

Materials for manufacturing

To make an animal from beads, you need:

  • beads of selected colors (depending on the product);
  • fishing line, wire or thread on which beads are strung;
  • needle for beading (for stitching the product);
  • jewelry accessories (hooks, rings, etc.).

Most often, animal figurines are made of wire, so they keep their shape perfectly.

In addition to the materials listed, you need to choose for yourself patterns for weaving animals from beads, which you will make. Without these schematic clues, a novice master can easily get confused in the stages of work.

Making small figurines

Often, patterns for weaving animals from beads for beginners are quite simple. They are not voluminous, most of the figurines are made using parallel weaving. For example, the crocodile shown in the figure is created from green beads and wire (or fishing line). It will serve as a great keychain or bag pendant.

Most often, circular weaving or parallel two-sided weaving prevails. The schemes for weaving volumetric animals with beads are quite intricate; only experienced craftsmen will have no problems with them.

As a rule, for figurines of small volume, flat weaving of identical parts is used, which is sewn together at the end of the work. An example of such a circuit is shown in the figure.

Such a charming dolphin can become an ornament, a souvenir or a pendant. Cotton wool is often used to add volume. She stuffs herself inside. Then the finished product does not bend and will keep its shape for a long time.

But the body is created in all animals in approximately the same way. The figure shows a three-dimensional dog that can be made using the three-dimensional weaving technique.

The size of the material and colors are chosen by the master in accordance with the taste. Much also depends on the pattern of weaving animals from beads. Regardless of the level of complexity of the schemes, the products are bright, memorable and fun.
