Beaded products are distinguished by their special grace. Not only jewelry is woven from this material, but also bouquets of flowers, and even insects. It is even possible to make a toy dragon from beads, you just have to be patient.
It is necessary
- - beads of two or three shades;
- - thin wire.
Instructions
Step 1
Start beading from the head. Cast an even number of beads on a thin wire, place them in the middle. Pass the wire through half of the beads so that the ends are on either side of the dragon's nose.
Step 2
Next, weave the head of the toy, performing the upper and lower parts at the same time. Draw the wire out in the middle of the product each time. Gradually increase the number of beads to form the dragon's head.
Step 3
At a distance of 4-5 rows from the beginning of the weaving, string 2 beads of a contrasting color on the wire to make the eyes. After another row, make ears from three additional beads on both sides of the head.
Step 4
Continue to weave the neck with the same number of beads in each row. When moving to the torso of the beaded dragon toy, gradually add the number of beads.
Step 5
In the process of weaving, tightly fill the product with padding polyester. This will make the beaded dragon toy stiff and will not lose its shape.
Step 6
Weave the dragon's back and belly, which can be done with beads of a different color. Gradually reduce the number of beads towards the tail. First weave the tip of the tail from two beads in a row, end with several rows of one bead.
Step 7
Weave the front and hind feet separately, starting at the claws. The limbs do not have to be bulky. Use a wire to attach the legs to the body by passing it through the beads.
Step 8
Weave the wings of the dragon. To do this, make a skeleton from the beads of the main color. Weave four long bones connected at the base, making up one bead in a row. From them, weave two short bases of two beads in a row, connect them together in a zigzag.
Step 9
Weave the wing membranes with beads of a lighter shade. Fill in the folds of the wings in the same way. Use a wire to attach the finished wings to the body of the dragon toy.
