  • Black beads - 70-80 pieces (for the head, legs and specks);
  • wire.

The process of weaving ladybug from beads

The work on the ladybird is remarkable becauseIn the process you can master a wide variety of weaving patterns. As for the technique of weaving, experienced masters advise to adhere to volumetric parallel weaving.
Working out the head The scheme, which is recommended to adhere to all novice craftsmen, advises starting to weave with the head of an insect. You should do this:

  • On a wire, string 3 large black beads and 2 small ones of a similar shade;
  • Take the end of the wire close to the small beads and, from the opposite side, insert it into the hole of the large beads;
  • Tighten the wire into a ring. You have two rows of large and small beads;
  • String five beads (black) onto the wire and, pulling the free end through all the elements in the direction of the first end, carefully tighten. The third row is located under the 1st row.



    • Paws
    As the weaving diagram shows, at this stage you will need to make a pair of legs for the insect. You will need to do the following manipulations:

    • String five beads of black color;
    • Pull the actual end of the wire through their holes in the opposite direction;
    • In order for the insect leg to fit tightly to the calf, hold the beads;
    • The second leg of the insect is woven at the opposite end of the wire.

    Working out the trunk After the head and the first pair of paws of the insect are ready, start working on the upper and lower parts of the trunk. To do this you need the following:


  • Work the top row of five black beads;
  • The next lower row is a shawl of 9 beads of black color, and the upper one is made up of 4 beads of red color, one black and 4 red (as in the photo);
  • We braid another legs in the same way as the previous ones;
  • We make the lower tier of 8 beads of blackColor, and the top one in the following sequence: 1 red bead-1 black-1 red-1 black-3 red-1 black-1 red-1-black-1-red;
  • Next, we weave a row of the lower tier of 8 beads of black color, and the row of the upper one - from 9 beads of red color;

  • The next lower tier consists of 8 red beads, the upper one - in the following order: 2 red beads - 1 black - 1 red - 1 black - 2 red;
  • We weave the lower tier of 4 black beads;
  • Form the last pair of paws from 4 beads of black color;
  • Create the top row of 5 beads of red color and proceed to weaving the final rows;
  • For the bottom row we string 2 black beads, for the top row - 1 red-1 black-1 red;
  • We fasten our wires, letting one end through the beads of the past row, twisting it with the second. Unnecessary ends need to be cut, twisted and hidden inside our ladybug.

    • Mustache
    A ladybug would not be complete without its antennae. To make your insect more life-like, perform the following manipulations:

  • Insert in the second row a small piece of wire;
  • Make a loop on each side and twist the tendril (length - no more than one centimeter);
  • Tie the loose ends of the wire and carefully “hide” them.

    • You've got a pretty solid ladybug.

    If you want to get better at beadwork or you just like these touching insects, you can make a few more flat cows with open wings.

     

    Beetle keychain

    You can make not only an ornament forKeyring, but also the product itself for keys or a mobile device in the form of a pretty ladybug. In this case, prizherzhivayas a phased scheme of weaving, your actions look like this:


  • String one bead onto the wire, fold it in half and weave in nine more elements. Connect the ends;
  • String another element, and then three more pieces on one side. Weave both sides towards each other, each time grabbing 2 beads;
  • Having strung one element at the actual end, fold the wire in half and twist the spiral. This will be the first one. The second mustache is done in a similar way;
  • Continue the weave by adding one element from each side. On each side there must be at least six beads;
  • After this, gradually reduce one bead from each side. On the wire there should be only five elements;
  • Fasten the wire, run it through the rows, and then get rid of the excess.

    • Tips for weaving a ladybug figurine
    To make your craft voluminous, form each row correctly. The collected rows should be bent in the process one by one:

    • The tummy of an insect to itself;
    • Back - on the contrary, from myself.

    You can prevent deformation of the ladybug if you fill the space inside with cellophane or a small piece of polymer clay.
    Don't forget to alternate red and black beads. This way your insect will turn out bright and contrasting, and therefore “alive”.
    If you are not satisfied with the color of the bug or the pattern on its wings, you can use your imagination and vary them at your own discretion.
