Horse of beads

If you are thinking how to make a horse from beads, on the eve of the coming 2014, which will just pass under the sign of this faithful artiodactyl, we present to your attention a very simple master class "The Horse of Beads". Such a wonderful horse can easily make a child.

  1. To create a bead from a bead with your own hands you only need a thin wire (about 1.4 meters) and beads. To their choice it is necessary to approach responsibly, since the beads will give the horse its unique look. Choose one teardrop-shaped for the head, two large round ones for the body, four smaller ones for the hooves, one smaller for the breast, one still slightly smaller for the spout and many small beads for the tail and mane.
  2. We begin to weave a horse from beads from the head. Take a teardrop-shaped bead, string it onto a wire (75cm), then, from the far side, thread a bead for the spout. We place them in the middle of a piece of wire. Then, the end of the wire from the side of the small bead is wrapped, passed through the drop-shaped bead in the opposite direction and tightened.
  3. We pass to the mane. We take the smallest beads, string the first of them on one of the ends of the wire and twist it at a distance of 5 mm from the head of the horse. Then we take the next bead, string it on the same wire and at a distance of 1 cm from the base, start twisting to the middle so that it is 5 mm higher than the head of the horse, and 5 mm further from the first swirling ray. Repeat the elements until their length is equal to the length of the head of the horse, now pass the wire through a narrow part of the drop-shaped bead and draw from the wide side, twisting the two ends of the wire that meet.
  4. Now we weave the mane with two wires. We string a bead on one end, scroll 5mm, then 5mm twist the wires together, make 5-6 elements. Then only on one wire we will weave two beams, as it was done at the beginning, and return the wire with turns to the remaining end.
  5. Now we'll think about how to weave the legs of a horse out of beads. We take a new piece of wire (65cm), beads for hooves and a bead for the breast. Bead-hoof string on the middle of the wire, scroll about 2.5 cm, this will be a leg. We put on one end a bead for the breast, there is also a second bead-hoof, which we twist at the same distance as the first.
  6. We connect the first and second parts by passing the wires from the head through the bead of the breast, as shown in the following diagram of the master class "The Horse of Beads."
  7. We make the body of the horse, passing through all four wires two large prepared beads. Then we divide the ends: two we bend upwards - they will be necessary for the tail, and two we bend downwards they will become legs.
  8. Master the hind legs - on each of the two bent down wires we put on the bead-hoof and twist, making them the same length as the front ones. Then the wire, left from the legs, pass through the body of the horse from the beads, tighten and cut off the wire cutters.
  9. It remains to weave a magnificent tail so that we have a three-dimensional horse from beads. First we fix the wire - we will string a bead onto one end and tighten it with the second.
  10. In the creation of the tail we will show imagination - at each end of the wire we will string the beads at different distances and twist them at different heights from 5 mm to 15 mm. The principle of operation is the same as with the first twirled beads on the mane. Make at least 7-8 curls on each wire and connect them.
  11. Before cutting the wire, we will bind the ends by 1 cm, we will string a bead on one of them, and tighten the second one. Now you can bite the wire with wire cutters and draw a horse's eyes.
