Beaded dog and cat

We are all accustomed to the fact that a cat is a pet, which we all love very much for its warmth, tenderness and devotion. And you did not think that in fact, for a long time she was a sacred animal among many nations. The main branch in mythology, in which the cat played almost the most basic role, is Egyptian mythology. As legends say, a cat was one of the incarnations of the Sun God Ra. Every night Ra went down to swim along the underground Nile, and one day he was met by an evil serpent who wanted to hit him. Ra reincarnated as a ginger cat, and defeated the serpent, cutting off its head. Since then, the Egyptians have surrounded cats with care and attention, since it was the cat who won the victorious battle. Since that time, Ra considered the cat to be his sacred animal.
It also symbolizes family idyll and the warmth of the hearth, psychological balance and comfort.

Panther beads

Panther- symbolizes greatness, power and strength, fearlessness, power and nobility. She is always ready to defend and attack.
The panther has a keen sensitivity. The hairs on the panther's body allow it to pick up the slightest vibrations and understand the nature of the origin of these vibrations. Popular beliefs say that this predatory cat beckons everyone with its breath. And that is why she does not have to make special efforts when hunting for prey - the animals themselves converged on her scent. But in Chinese culture, it was commemorated as a "black lion", which was presented as a tribute from Western countries, in which they, in fact, were found. The Chinese king was struck by the scent that exuded the skin of the animal. Her scent could be heard from afar.

Brooch dog from beads master class

bead puppy

The next representative of the animal world will be a dog. She, as we know, is the symbol of 2018. Such a brooch can serve good gift... Or it may remain for your use. Let this puppy bring a lot of happiness, joy and unforgettable handicraft evenings to your home.

Necessary materials:

• Dog template (can be found on the Internet)
• Thin felt
• Eco-leather (for decorating the back of the brooch)
• Bead thread or monofilament
• Black glass glue rhinestones
  Beads
• Chocolate color for outline (0.80)
• The main color of the dog is two translucent colors (10110 and 81060)
• Brooch base - cardboard and glue

Well, I propose to start working.

Draw the outline of the dog

We translate the outline of the template into felt, and then draw those details that cannot be outlined.

First of all, we sew rhinestones (or beads) to the location of the eye and nose.

We embroider with beads along the contour

Now we take a thread with a needle and start to embroider. Draw the needle on the contours of the lines. We collect two beads, and, approximately, retreating a distance equal to the same two beads, makes a stitch.

Next, the needle must be brought out between the two sewn beads. And now we bring the needle out through the hole of the last bead, thereby tightening and aligning them.

We again collect two beads, make a stitch, retreating along the contour line a distance equal to their size. In the same way, we withdraw the needle between them and pass the needle into the last one. Your task is to sew all the contours of the dog.

Go to the next contour

When you reach the end of the top line of the head , You can see that the ear follows next, and the ear line is closed here, so the beads will be located on it in a different direction. So, we draw the thread from the inside out onto a new contour and embroider it in the same way as the head contour line.

Tip: If some beads are knocked out of the overall straight line, you can sew them in a circle again. Then they will look much smoother.

The finished embroidered outlines should look like this:

Filling with doggie color from beads

Let's move on to filling with color. We bring the needle in the right place and fill the space inside the outline with the color that you have in mind. And now we will not embroider in even rows. I suggest placing the beads as randomly as possible, then our puppy will turn out to be fluffy and even curly. We collect one bead and sew in free places.

Mentally draw the spots for your puppy by embroidering them orange... This is how it should turn out:

We continue to embroider further, filling in the space between the contours, dialing 1 bead each.
The finished embroidery looks like this

Preparing the base for the brooch

The embroidered doggie needs to be cut out. Be careful not to cut the stitches on the wrong side where they go. Then, we transfer the contours of the template to thick paper or cardboard and cut it out, slightly reducing the pattern in size. We coat the cardboard blank with glue, and glue it to the seamy side of the embroidery. Thus, the cardboard will serve as a frame for our future beaded dog brooch.

Now we will decorate the back of the embroidered puppy so that our brooch is neat and beautiful. We fold the embroidery and eco-leather on the wrong sides. We outline the outline of the future brooch. Next, along the contour and cut it out.

We will hide the base for the brooch under the skin. To do this, mark the exit points of the fastener, fold it in half, aligning the points, and make 2 neat cuts.

Open the clasp and thread it through the slots.

On the seamy side, between the base plate, add a drop of glue. We also coat the cardboard frame with glue and glue a leather pattern to it along with a fastener.
Our brooch is almost ready. It remains only to arrange the end sides. We put the thread through the needle again and go through the layers of the embroidery. A thin knot at the end should be hidden between them. Excess ponytails can be trimmed. Now we pierce all the layers of the beaded embroidery from the leather side.


We stretch the thread and thread the needle through the loop. We should have a knot that will fix the thread of the end of the embroidery.

Now, we collect 2 beads of chocolate color and again we make a puncture of the layers. Try to do them at the same distance, then the stitches on the wrong side will look smooth and of high quality.

Now we need to unfold the 2nd bead. Let's go through it with a needle and pull it up. The first one we will align when we reach the end.

Beaded fox

And now, quietly stealthily, she approaches us, a predatory plunderer, her majesty - a fox. She has good dexterity and observation, which is why defenseless little birds, frogs and tiny animals often end up in her paws. In fairy tales and mythology, the image of the Fox is usually associated with such qualities as cunning, dexterity, sneakiness, quick wit, caution, patience. And remember only Russian fairy tales, in which she is always called "godfather." The fox also has a patronymic Patrikeevna, because it is she who is the symbol of St. Patrick in Ireland.
Brooches with foxes depicted on them are quite popular. A lot of work and expense will not be required to create a wonderful fox. You will need 3 colors of beads: black, orange and white. Be sure to take a template so that the brooch is correct shape... For a beautiful seamy side, use leather that is also cut to the pattern of a fox. A minimum of time, and a beaded fox brooch with your own hands will look wonderful on any clothes. Since the beaded fox brooch is in demand now, it can be purchased in online stores or in in social networks from experienced needlewomen.

The unicorn is a mythical animal. His hypostasis is a mystery and embodies the original unity, the beginning and the ultimate goal of human existence. In Tibet, monks consider him a real guide between heaven and earth, between light and dark forces. But in China, even in ancient times, a legend appeared about an emperor who was sitting near the Yellow Sea, and suddenly he saw an unearthly creature that was walking on the water, and it became green. All he managed to make out was an unknown message on the back of the animal. Many believe that this is how they arose Chinese characters... The unicorn is a symbol of enlightenment, unsullied purity and eternity.

Therefore, I propose to master very simple technique embroidery with beads, and as a result - have a wonderful brooch.

Accessories for work:

First of all, we cut out the template and trace it on the felt.

On the cut out template, we apply a drawing on the front side


Now it is very important to arrange pink crystals on the mane so that it looks aesthetically pleasing and believable. This is how it should look like.

We glue the crystals in the planned order with glue. For reliability, in addition to gluing, I also advise you to flash it. Next, we are engaged in the area of ​​the unicorn nose. Try to find a pale pink bead color. Decorate the nostril (small dot) with a black bead.

Fill in the area of ​​the muzzle with white. Use a black bead for the eye.

Fill the empty spaces in the crystal mane with pink.

To separate the head from the neck of the unicorn, we sew the line with a transparent color. And we sew the lower part with white.

Let's get down to the horn. He, like all unicorns, will be multi-colored. Draw stripes and fill it with all the colors of the rainbow.

Basically, he's ready. But for the sake of completeness, I suggest making a rainbow and a cloud.

Materials (edit)

Thus, these cute animals came to symbolize compromise and unconditional trust.

This is what the finished embroidered outlines look like:

Fill the panda ears with sequins, sewing them in a circle until the white gaps are visible.

Fill the panda's foot with beads. Sew on a couple of pieces. Don't forget about aligning them in a row. The foot consists of half beads and sequins.

Beaded octopus

To create an animal you will need:

• beads of a suitable color;
• yellow beads;
• wire;
• scissors.

Manufacturing process:

For the craft, cut a wire about 50 centimeters long. We collect 7 beads of the main color and move them to the center;

After that, we separate the three elements and push one end of the metal thread through four beads. You will get a loop. We do everything according to the scheme;

At the next stage of weaving, we string 5 elements. Pass the other end of the metal thread through them. You will get the loop again. Fix it in such a way that the beads fit as tightly as possible to each other;

Using a similar method, you need to make nine rows. After that, all beaded tiers should be straightened so that the workpiece acquires volume;

The tenth row should be woven according to this principle: first, put on three beads of the main color behind them one yellow, then a loop is made through the yellow element, the end of the wire is threaded into the last bead and three more beads of the main colors are put on. Behind them is another yellow one and again we make a loop with it, pushing the end of the thread into the bead of the main color. Tighten the bend well and put on the three beads of the chosen color again. It turned out half a head of an octopus with eyes. The weaving pattern of this element is presented below;

Next, we continue to weave in a parallel fashion. We attach the neck and body with this method. We make such nine more rows;

Then we start making tentacles. For this weaving, divide the entire row of beads into three elements. In every three beads, it is necessary to thread pieces of wire about half a meter long;

These are future tentacles. It is necessary to weave them in the same way as the body. That is, in a parallel method;

After creating all the paws of the animal, they must be fixed in the correct position with a fishing line.

The octopus is ready!

Beaded parrot

Such beaded birds look bright and unusual. The work is not very difficult, the main thing is to understand the most complex processes.


To make this wonderful bird you will need:

• wire;
• blue beads;
• red beads;
• green beads;
• yellow beads;
• black beads;
• purple beads;
• scissors.

Manufacturing process:

We start weaving a bird from beads from the head. We take a wire with a diameter of 3 mm. Its length should be about 3 meters. We put 3 black beads on the middle. After two, we connect them into a ring in such a way that each end passes through the last bead on the other side;

The parrot's head can be braided quite easily. The main thing is that the first two rows are flat. After each tier, black lines should be made;

Further, there will be a more voluminous weaving. In this version, the black lines must be woven through two rows;

The next step in weaving a bird from beads will be to attach the wings. Additional pieces of wire will be needed for these parts. For each should be from 30 to 35 centimeters. This is the main nuance, because then the element may simply not work;

Insert the end of the metal thread into the last three beads of the selected row, as shown in the diagram;

The wings can only be attached to the row of the craft that is very loose. In other words, to the place where the weaving can be made even;

The wings need to be made with mirror weaving. Once the elements are ready, their ends are attached along the broaches;

Thus, it is necessary to weave until the yellow row appears.

As soon as you need to start another color, we attach an additional piece of wire. It must be at least 30 centimeters long. It is attached by pulling the end through the six central beads of the row. Thus, the weave will be strong;

With this weaving, you need to make three more rows. Once they're done, insert an extra piece of wire. The length of which should be 30 cm;

Form the legs from this metal thread. Those parts that are more pushed forward will be fingers, and those that are in the back will be heels;

Each finger of the beaded bird should be twisted. It is tedious to cut off excess wire residues. The second foot is woven in the same way;

Once the parrot is ready, you need to secure all the ends of the wire.

Beaded lion

Your attention is invited to an interesting master class on making a lion from beads. Such beaded animals are not big size but voluminous and beautiful.


For manufacturing you will need:

• wire or fishing line;
• yellow shiny beads;
• orange shiny beads;
• several black beads;
• one pink bead;
• cloth or paper as filler.

Manufacturing process:
Use the most common parallel weave to weave the lion. It gives the product a special volume. The mane will be made using the needle method. Such bead animals require quite a lot of skills. Especially in volumetric weaving... Therefore, for novice needlewomen, such crafts are not entirely suitable.

We begin to weave the product from the top of the head, then gradually move on to the spout;

The bottom two tiers are made in a row. All the following rows of beading are done by the top-bottom method. WITH bottom row we begin to make the mane;

We put on the wire 1 orange, and five gold. Be very careful about colors. If you confuse, then the product will not work out a little;

Next, take an orange bead, put it on the wire and pass it through the next four. Ideally, it should look like this: the first, the main one remained at the beginning. Pull the wire in such a way that you get a needle. This process can be seen in the diagram image;

Then we take the same five beads, but already pass in the other direction through the four worn ones;

We tighten the wire well. So you need to make the last needle of the mane;

We proceed to the second free wire. We have to stretch it through the orange element. We tighten the ends of the wires and lower the crafts at the bottom. This will create a mane;

Craft ears are made using the reverse beading method. Only in this case, the wire is pulled after every four beads. The metal thread opposite is tightened. Instantly stacked on top. Thus, we got the face of a lion;

The paws need to be weaved voluminous on an additional wire. Feet are made using the usual flat method;

The lion's tail is also braided with a voluminous and on a separate thread. The end of the tail is made using the needle method;

Fill each volumetric blank with filler;

After finishing weaving each part, tighten the ends of the wire tightly, and cut off the rest. Connect all the pieces together. The lion is ready!

Beaded deer

For work you will need:

• black beads;
• brown shiny beads;
• yellow shiny beads;
• gray shiny beads;
• black beads;
• scissors;
• wire.

Manufacturing process:

We start making crafts with weaving horns. We string beads in the middle of the metal thread, as the diagram shows. We continue to work according to the picture;

Then we start creating the head. To do this, cut a piece of wire about half a meter long. We begin to make an animal by making a nose. We do the work with volumetric parallel weaving;

After the head of the craft is ready, horns should be attached to it. To do this, in a certain place, it is necessary to thread a metal thread with six beads and attach the horns to it, passing the end into two elements of the workpiece;

After that, you need to put four beads on the wire and stretch the second end of the metal thread through all the beads in the row in the opposite direction;

Let's start making ears. To do this, cut a piece of wire and weave according to the diagram;

To attach them to the head of the craft, you need to stretch the end of the thread from the head through the bottom row of ear beads;

At the next stage of beading, we start making the body. To weave this blank, you need to cut off a piece of wire about two meters long and thread it through the lower tier of beads on your head;

The body is woven voluminous. We start from the bottom row. We weave up and down;

To make the legs of a deer, you need to attach additional wires in the appropriate places;

Beading of the limbs occurs by the inward-outward method;

For the tail, you also need to cut off a piece of metal thread and weave according to the scheme;

The tail is attached by pulling the wire through the entire row of beads in the appropriate place. The deer is ready!

This article presents small beaded animals. If you want to make the same animals, but bigger size you can use larger beads, or even replace with beads. But you need to know that appearance crafts from this will also change. When you want to make only some part of the animal longer, for example, the tail of a bird, you can simply add another row of beads in the calculations of the scheme. Volumetric animals made of beads - very interesting crafts... They can be not only a beautiful hobby, but also an excellent gift for a loved one.

Surely many of us thought about how to add a special twist to our style with the help of little things, decorate the interior, how to cheer up a friend or colleague by giving him a small and cute present, how to diversify a child's leisure time in a queue or on a trip. Everything is much simpler than it might seem at first glance. Cute little 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 using small figures is very diverse. First of all, they come to mind. A bunch, which is guarded by a lion or a dog made of beads, looks very unusual, doesn't it? Yes, and small, neat and teddy bears look amazing on the keys.

In addition, small figures look great as pendants. Most often, for these purposes, voluminous products are used that attract attention and cheer up. Bulky animals are also used for making brooches. Butterflies, ladybugs and dragonflies will unusually decorate a blouse or dress.

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

Beaded animal weaving patterns will help you create wonderful toys for kids. With them, they will have fun in a boring line at the clinic or on a long car trip.

Materials for making

To make an animal from beads, you must:

• beads of the selected colors (depending on the product);
• fishing line, wire or thread on which the beads are strung;
• beading needle (for sewing 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 listed materials, you must choose for yourself the patterns of weaving animals from beads, which you will make. Without these schematic tips, a beginner master can easily get confused in the stages of work.

Making small figurines

Often, the patterns for weaving animals from beads for beginners are quite simple. They are not three-dimensional, most of the figures are made using parallel weaving. For example, the crocodile shown in the picture is created from green beads and wire (or fishing line). It will serve as an excellent keychain or bag pendant.

The technique creates legs, which, in the course of work, are woven into the main canvas - the body. At the end of the work, we attach the selected accessories, and the cute crocodile is ready.

In a similar technique, the next figure is created - an elephant. Ears, trunk and tusks are woven here, which are then organically woven into one whole. To create this product, you will need beads of four colors.

The figurine of the chicken Tsipa will be an excellent pendant for a children's keychain. Separately made legs of the product are woven into the body without interrupting work. The main thing is to correctly alternate the colors of the beads to get the eyes and beak.

As you can see, this fascinating business is weaving from beads. Animal schematics can be pretty simple, and the result is amazing.

Volumetric figures

This is a more complex type of beading that requires some skill. The fact is that such products need to be woven, carefully following the pattern so as not to get lost. Most often, circular weaving or parallel double-sided weave prevails. The patterns for weaving volumetric animals with beads are quite intricate, only experienced craftsmen will not have problems with them.

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

Such a charming dolphin can become an adornment, souvenir or pendant. Cotton wool is often used to add volume. She's stuffed inside. Then ready product does not bend and will keep its shape perfectly for a long time.

Most of the volumetric figures, according to experienced craftsmen, are woven using similar techniques. They differ only in the shape of the paws, tail and head. But the body is created in all animals in about the same way. The picture shows a volumetric dog that can be made using the volumetric weaving technique.

Conclusion

Diverse are not only very unusual. They are also good because they can be made with your own hands, according to your own taste and color. The size of the material and the color scheme are chosen by the master in accordance with taste. Also, a lot 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.
