How to weave a horse from beads: a diagram of the head and torso
We begin to collect according to the following scheme in rows:
1st row: we collect on the wire one black, beige and black bead and three more beige, through them we pass the wire from the other end and tighten.
2nd: in the upper tier, dial four beige beads, pass the end of the wire through them. Tighten. In the bottom - three, also stretch the wire.
We do the following rows in a similar way.
3rd: in the upper tier - five beige, and in the lower - four.
4th: we collect the upper tier one beige, black, three beige, one black and beige one, and the bottom - five beige.
5th row: in the upper tier - eight, in the lower tier - six.
We proceed to the ears and at the same time we make the horse’s mane. We string seven beige beads. Then we pass the end of the wire through the penultimate bead. Tighten. We plant another bead, we pass the wire through the fourth. The horse’s ear turned out. Next, pick one beige and three brown beads. We pass the wire through two penultimate brown ones. Tighten. The first lock of mane turned out. We collect five beige beads, thread them into the penultimate one, put on one beige and thread the wire through the second bead. Tighten. The second ear turned out.
6th: the upper tier consists of 11 beige beads, and the lower one is not.
7th: in the top - five beige and four brown beads. Through the last brown wire we pass and we collect five beige. Tighten. It turned out another strand. In the bottom - six beige.
In the following rows we continue to weave the mane in the same way.
8th: the upper tier is five beige, brown and beige beads, and the lower tier is six beige.
9th: in the top - four beige, six brown and four beige, and the bottom - six beige.
10th: similar to the previous row.
In the 11th and 12th rows, we decrease one brown bead.
Next, from the 13th to the 21st rows, we collect only beige beads.
13th: eleven.
14th: in the upper tier - eight, in the lower - thirteen. In this row we don’t tighten the wire, but take an additional length of 35 centimeters and pass it through seven medium beads. The ends of the wire are later used for weaving hooves.
The 15th, 16th and 17th rows are similarly weaved.
18th: the upper tier is eight, the lower is twelve.
19th: in the upper - nine, in the lower - twelve.
20th: the composition of the beads is the same. Only in the lower tier, through six middle ones, we pass an additional piece of wire 35 centimeters long (future hind hooves).
21st: the upper tier is eight, the lower tier is seven.
22nd: in the top we make a tail. At the end of the wire we plant three beige and fourteen brown beads. Keeping the last bead typed, we pass the end of the wire through the remaining brown ones. Tighten tight. Repeat this action two more times. In the lower tier are four beige beads. We fix the wire. Well, almost a bead horse is ready, have a little patience.
Hoof weaving pattern
We start weaving and assemble according to the following scheme.
In the upper tier of the first row, we collect one beige bead on the wire, and in the lower - two. From the second to fifth rows: the upper and lower - two beige beads. Sixth: in the upper tier - two beige, and in the lower - two black. Seventh row: two black beads. We fix the wire.
Similarly, we make the remaining front and rear hooves. The weave is completed. Volumetric bead horse is ready. In order for the figure to keep its shape, it is necessary to flash the head and torso with a needle with fishing line.
Such an amazing horse made of beads will be made with pleasure not only by adults, but also by children. The craft can be turned into a keychain or some jewelry, for example, in a pendant.
