Many girls and even women dream of having original accessories for their phone or keys, and animals made of beads are a great idea. But the question arises of how to make animals from beads and what is needed for this. Such things will not require much cost and will bring self-satisfaction to the craftswoman. How to make animals from beads correctly and quickly, we will tell in our article.
We select the necessary materials
To make such an accessory you will need small beads, the basis for weaving is a strong thread or thin fishing line. Also, you just need a flow chart. It should be clear and step-by-step indicated, this will greatly simplify the manufacture and reduce the time required to complete the accessory. If you have never woven any
beadwork, then choose patterns simpler and smaller in size. But if you have enough experience, do not be afraid and compose them yourself.
Work with beads
Before starting the product, it is necessary to sort the beads by size and quality. Indeed, cheap beads always have different thicknesses of individual elements, as well as unequal openings, which complicate and spoil the overall appearance of the accessory. Knitting with beads must be done only from identically colored elements. Therefore, when choosing, consider color matching. Especially it is necessary to take into account the color of the beads, because there are solid and internally colored elements. When combined, the animals are not very beautiful and look unnatural.
How to make bead animals smooth and natural
To create truly amazing products in the form of animals, you need to choose the right thread or fishing line for knitting. They differ in size and strength of the material. If you want to make a product with an invisible base, and your beads correspond to this, i.e. it is painted inside and has an excellent glossy gloss, then you need a fishing line of transparent color and the corresponding diameter. If you have planned to make an accessory from solid-colored elements, then a simple strong thread in tone may suit you. Surgical is considered to be the most durable, but it is very difficult to get, or it can be very expensive. The whole aesthetic appearance of your creation will depend on what material you choose. If you buy a very thin thread, the product will turn out to be uneven and tight. And if you tie an accessory from a thick fishing line, then the animals will not be of the density that is needed, i.e. will "blur" in the hands.
How to make animals from beads so that they turn out more than indicated in the corresponding scheme
To change the proportions or size of the whole product, there is one right decision - to make an accessory in the same way, but choosing a larger diameter beads or, in general, replacing it with small beads. In this case, the basis must be chosen appropriate - stronger and thicker. From this, your accessory will increase in size, but will not get a change in overall appearance. If you are not satisfied with the length of the tail of the animal or its paws, then you can tie additional rows of beads. This will increase their size and not greatly affect the weaving of the entire product. In conclusion, I want to say: try new schemes, look for solutions to emerging issues, and you will succeed!
