Bead Animals: Schemes for Beginners and Master Class for the Production of Flat and Bulk Models

We are used to making beads mainly from necklaces: necklaces, bracelets, pendants. But this is not enough for the craftsmen, they are discovering new forms, interesting schemes, inventing something unusual. For example, among all atypical products, animal figures are very popular. In this article we show and tell you what can be three-dimensional animals from beads( schemes for beginners, a master class for the manufacture of such animals and much more).And also tell you about other variants of weaving animals from beads.

Bulky animals from beads

Such voluminous animals can be used as a toy, key chain or suspension. There are many forms and schemes of large animals.

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

Or here is a funny lizard:

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

First of all, there are interesting beast animals for the most-very beginning amateurs of beads - children.

MK for making tiger

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

Materials:

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

Making a tiger cub

This tiger cub should be weaved with mosaic technique.

1) The first thing you need to weave the cheeks tiger cub.

For this, thread the bead on the wire and fix it, having passed the needle through the bead again. Then string the white beads. To weave one side of the cheeks, you need a bead of white and 2 beads of black color. Then, using a mosaic seam, the cheeks are sewn together.

2) Further from the brown beads( 14 beads) the nose spins, as well as the cheeks - mosaic weave. Then the nose and cheeks come together.

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

4) We need to continue to spin around the head of the tiger cub, alternating the black and orange beads - so we create strips on his body.

5) With the square netting, white and orange beads weave the ears. It's eyelet consists of 2 parts - white and orange, then these parts are joined and laced around in a circle with orange beads. Ready ears connect with the head of the tiger.

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

7) With the help of orange, white and black beads, a striped tiger's body is weaved.

8) Through 17 rows, from the 18th you need to start to remove the beads on the sides, and then in front. The trunk should turn out to be striped and with a white tummy.

9) Next, the lower and upper tiger paws are braided - 16 rows each, and the sole, which is then combined with a mosaic seam with the foot.

10) The last one is a tail. It is a square bundle. Combining all the parts, we get a pretty tiger cub:

Flat animals from beads

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

Weaving from beads of flat-shaped animals is performed by flat parallel technique and reverse needle weaving.

Horse

Consider a master class for making a small flat horse.

Materials:

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

Making a horse

Such a horse is woven with the help of the scheme:

Or, if you are planning a zebra:

You should start the weaving with the horse's muzzle. On the diagram the muzzle is marked with an arrow.

A 1.5 m long wire is taken and in the middle one row is woven in parallel with a weave.

After him, 6 more rows of the same weaving, according to the scheme.

The mane is braided. To do this, string 3 beads around the wire and pass through two, excluding the last, and tighten.

After that, another series is paralyzed by parallel technique, and then again the mane of

The ear is pinched.6 beads are threaded onto the wire and the last bead is skipped, and the wire is passed through the penultimate and is tightened. Then three more beads are threaded and stretched through the first bead of the ear. Everything is delayed.

And then we continue to weave the mane.

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

Then the wire is twisted again and the mane is again trudging. Thus, we should get 7 "hryvnia", and the wire will be both ends on the one hand.

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 pass the wire back through the next row. As a result, the wires will disperse.

Scouring the neck. The weaving is conducted in parallel rows according to the scheme, and next to the four rows we need to weave 1 "hryvnia", and then weave 2 rows. But already without the mane. And in the last row you need to add a wire, for weaving the legs of the horse:

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

The last row is woven like in the photo below:

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

In such an unpretentious and simple way we weaved a small horse.

So, in this article we told you how to make beads from animals - bulky and flat. We hope that these little creatures will please you and your loved ones.
