How to make a lizard?

What things are not made from beads - andflowers, and butterflies, and insects, and many other ornaments. I'll tell you about how to weave a bead out of beads. You will choose the color yourself, but we will talk about the technology of lizard manufacturing in sufficient detail. Just note that the technology of weaving lizard from beads is quite simple, but this work is laborious and requires some patience.

How to make a lizard of beads - stage one

We need a needle and thread, seed beads № 8, № 10 andtwo beads at number 8, but of a different color - in order to make the eyes of our lizard. Let's start with weaving the body of the lizard. This is best done in the form of a tourniquet for 6 beads. The method of weaving is Ndebele. Very detailed and understandable this wonderful technique is described here in this thread on the forum. When weaving the body, we will use beads No. 10, and for the nostrils - a large "eight". Close the beads in the ring, and then in the 3rd row weave eye beads so that they are opposite the nostrils of the lizard. In this case, along with the beads for the eyes, we also need to weave small beads of the primary color, and under the eyes - 2 beads of the primary color, but larger.

How to weave a lizard of beads - stage two

We are now weaving the 4th row from a large bead, andthen 3 rows of small - this will be the neck of our lizard. Then 14 rows weave from a large bead, and then 5 rows of small - for the beginning of the tail. Next, grab on the belly and back of the lizard side beads and weave from the small beads 8 rows of bundle ndebele to 4 beads. Next, plait 6 large and 8 small beads to complete the tail. Now we fix the thread to make the tail symmetrical. After that, we fix the tourniquet, for which in the middle of the abdomen and the back of the lizard we sew the beads together. Sew the 1st and 5th rows at the beginning of the tail, and then the 1st and 3rd on the neck, the 8th and 9th on the trunk and the beads between the eyes. Between the nostrils and a little below add 2 small beads to give symmetry and fix them.

How to make a lizard of beads - paws

To make the paws turned out more or lessbe the same, select the corresponding beads, since very often the lizard's legs are noticeably different from each other. We start with the fact that between the 2 nd and 3 rd rows of the lizard's back we take out the needle and thread it 2 large beads, after which we conduct a needle between the 3rd and 4th rows. We add one more (with the help of a simple technique "mosaic") between the last dialed beads, and then add a small bead after the 2nd bead typed. Further between the recruited beads we weave 2 more large ones and add one more between them. Now we begin to weave the palms and fingers of the lizard. To do this, add 3 small beads for the palm and 3 more for each finger. After this, we begin to make the elbow, for which we are weaving new beads, making the pads thicker. For the weaving of the hind legs we make 3 rows of large beads using the technology of flat ndebele and add one more large bead.

Now we start making heels and fingers. Heel can be made from 3 large, and fingers - from small beads. Between the large beads we collect 3 small ones, and on each large bead 2 more small ones. So fingers at us will turn out identical on length. By a similar technology, you can weave and fingers for the front legs. And, finally, the last remark on how to make a lizard of beads We left to weave a small bead into each hind foot in order to make a knee, and weave the legs to the desired thickness, weaving small beads and fastening the rows of beads among themselves. That's all - our lizard is ready. If something remains incomprehensible to you, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with beautiful illustrations on the weaving of lizard beads here.
