Do you want to weave a horse from beads?Then check out this article and you will learn how to do it. The horse is a graceful and at the same time strong animal that has served man well for many centuries. It combines speed and efficiency. In the old days, horses were indispensable workers; sometimes the work of an entire factory or plant depended on them alone. They still play the role of irreplaceable helpers, especially in agriculture. But the days of hard labor for horses are over. Today, these animals are considered more an object of admiration than a labor force.Throw a horse out of beads. Photo №1Many people love horses.That is why they are often the subject of various crafts. The bead weaving technique also allows you to create horses that can be a good souvenir. Children especially like these horses. However, adults will also be happy to make this craft and use it as a keychain or decoration. To weave a horse from beads we will need:

  • round small beads of light brown, gray, black, red or other colors for the performance of the trunk and head;
  • thin wire;
  • beads small round dark brown or dark gray for hooves;
  • black round beads for the eyes and nostrils;
  • Nippers.

So let's get started.Weaving a horse starts from the head, or rather – from the nose. But first you need to sort the beads, selecting the main color (light brown or orange), beads for the mane (black or white) and beads for the nose (dark gray). However, if desired, you can use beads of more than 3 colors in your work, making color transitions on the mane or painting the body “apple-colored.”Throw a horse out of beads. Photo # 2Detailed diagrams depict step by stepsequencing. Figure 1 above the first diagram shows the weaving of the nose. As you can see, using black beads between dark gray ones, you can outline the nostrils of the animal. Below the nose braiding diagram is a mane threading diagram. In this master class, each thread of the mane consists of 4 beads, but, again, it can be made longer or, conversely, shorter. The front part of the head is made exactly according to the diagram. Next, the rows according to Figure 2 in the second diagram are folded and connected. The head ends and the neck is formed (Figure 3) by sequentially lowering the rows. The torso is made similarly to the neck, but a smooth extension is made to thicken under the belly. A neat seam is formed on the side of the horse as new rows are picked up.Throw a horse out of beads. Picture №3Once you've finished working on the torso, don't forgetinterlace your legs. They can be simple low beads, but be sure to highlight the hooves with two rows of darker beads. The tail is made in the same way as the mane, and then it is twisted and bent down, because this is the position in which the tail should hang. Here, our master class on weaving a horse from beads is completed. There is nothing complicated in it, and questions should not arise. So you won’t have any problems when weaving. We wish you an easy and enjoyable job!
