This season, the beaded owl, especially if itmade with your own hands will be wildly popular. The three-dimensional figurine of this bird can replace your keychain or bag pendant, and the beaded owl will become an original and stylish brooch.

Master class on making owls from beads

We will weave an owl that will decorate the lapel of your jacket.
Traditionally, we will begin our master class with the preparation of all the materials and tools necessary for the work. So, we will need:

Skin (a small piece);
lining fabric;
monofilament;
line;
pencil;
clasp;
Super glue;
cardboard;
2 rivoli (12mm);
White Magatama beads;
Hematite Czech beads Twin;
Toho hematite drops;
Pearl Czech beads № 6, 10;
Pearl beads Delica Toho № 11;
Silver beads Toho No. 15;
Pearl Magatham.

Here's how the photo looks like the main materials that we will use to create
:

Having prepared everything we need, we can start beading:
The first thing we need to do is to braid the rivoli. To do this, we will first need to weave a ring of 30 Delica Toho beads number 11.

Then we will have to make 2 more rows of silver beads.

After this we can insert the rivoli and, turning it inside out, weave 2 rows from the same beads.

Without changing the pattern of actions, we will need to braid the second rivoli in exactly the same way in order to then sew it to our base.

Next, our brooch will look more and more like an owl. First, we will sew on a twin bead, which will replace the nose of the future bird.

Now we need to sew 2 magatama beads on top.

For further work we will need the following diagram:

It will be especially useful for beginner craftswomen, as with its help you can easily sew around the “eyes” of our bird:

Next we need to draw a tummy for our owl.

Having done this, we will need to trim it with Czech beads number 10.

Then you will need to embroider the owl's belly with Toho drops and Czech beads No. 6.

And only after this you can carefully cut off the excess fabric.

Next you need to cut out a small oval-shaped piece of cardboard and glue it to the base.

13. After this we will need to attach the clasp to the leather and, having glued it to the base, cut off the excess edges.

Then we will need to sew the edges and at the same time sew on the wings with paws. For this we will need this diagram:

At this stage, our small master class can be considered complete. Here is what a wonderful beaded owl we got:

Using the same pattern, but choosing beads of different colors, you can make many different similar brooches:

Beading allows us to create amazing figures. Regardless of whether they are flat or bulky, you can in any case be able to decorate your clothes or accessories.
We tried to select ones of varying complexityweaving patterns for such owl figures so that even novice craftswomen can make a brooch or pendant in the form of an owl. Here are the most popular patterns of owls from beads:
