Beads - the ideal material for needlework. At the same time crafts can be not only beautiful, but also practical. For example, a dragonfly made of beads, made by own hands, may well replace a keychain or pendant to a mobile phone. And it will take quite a while to manufacture. We offer a simple master class for making a dragonfly from beads.
We will need:
- beads;
- twine (110-120 cm);
- metal ring;
- scissors;
- glue.
- Before you make a dragonfly from beads, you need to prepare the twine. To do this, both ends of it should be well glued with glue. When it dries, it will be easier to string beads. Fold the twine in half, and in the center with a loop fasten the metal ring. One bead is to be threaded on one end of the twine.
- Take the other end of the twine and thread it through the bead. Tightly tighten both ends of the twine to fix the bead. So, the weaving of the first row of the dragonfly body is complete.
- The second row of dragonfly calf from beads is made in the same way. After that you can start wicker wicker. For this, thread four green on one end of the twine, then four blue, and again four green beads.
- Then the end of the twine with green and blue beads pass through the lower bead of the corpse towards the second end of the twine. Tighten the ends more tightly, having formed a winglet. Similarly, weave the second wing of the dragonfly.
- Continue to weave the dragonfly body, strung another row of din, that is, adding one black bead. Then repeat the third and fourth steps, making another pair of wings. After the completion of this stage, both ends of the twine must pass through the third bead of black color. It remains to string another 4-5 black beads, and in the end to make a neat little bundle. Cut the ends of the twine. Original hand-made bead in the form of a bright dragonfly is ready!

We can drag a dragonfly both from beads of the same color and shape, and experimenting with beads of different sizes and colors. To make the article more believable, it is important to observe the symmetry of the weaving. This applies to the shape and color of the beads.
Take into account, the hand-craft, the manufacture of which uses twine, it will be difficult to keep the shape. If you want to give it stiffness, use thin wire as the basis.
Of the beads you can weave and other insects, for example, a butterfly or a spider .
