The peacock is truly a royal bird.This craft, made of beads, will add charm to the room. In order for a beaded peacock to turn out neat, you need to have some beading skills. We will try to describe the master class in great detail so that even beginning craftswomen can understand it.






Master class of peacock weaving from beads

First you need to prepare the following material:

  • Beads of blue, red, black, white, yellow, green;
  • Beads of blue color;
  • Beaded wire;
  • Nippers;
  • pliers.

When buying beads, you should not save. As a result, it will depend on the appearance of the product. If you take poor-quality material, then the work will be dim. And the paint from a poor-quality bead can start to slough off quickly enough.
If everything is ready, then you can start creating a miracle - a bird. A peacock consists of a head, neck, body, wings and tail. Let's start the master class with a description of the execution of the head.
Head We start with weaving the beak of a peacock. We need red beads, wire length of 5 centimeters.


  • Cut the workpiece into 2 equal pieces (2.5 centimeters each);
  • We pass through the 1 bead both blanks. On one we will weave the upper part of the element, on the second - the lower part;
  • The upper part of the beak, however, like the lower one, is executed in a parallel way. String 2 beads on one end of the wire. The second end is on the other side;
  • The same method you need to do 3 more rows. In each next there should be 1 more element than in the previous one. The total number is 5.

    • Similarly, perform the underside of the beak. Only in the course of work it is attached to the top. This part of the work requires special care. Otherwise, the connection points will look rough.
    When this peacock detail is ready, you need to make the eyes. We will need two blue beads, black, white and blue beads. Peacock eyes are made using the French weaving technique.

  • On the wire we dress the material of blue color (2-4 pieces), bead. The latter should be in the middle. Fix with the help of eyelets. It will be the pupil of the eye;
  • We type black beads (its number depends on the diameter of the "pupil"). We make an arc and fix it;
  • We type the black material. We make the second arc from the same side as the first and fix it;
  • We select white, blue and again white beads. We make an arc from the other side. We fix it. Thus, we have 2 arcs (top) on one side of the eye, and 1 (bottom) on the other;
  • We type 10 blue and white beads. We make an arc in the upper part of the peacock's eye;
  • We make 1 black "edging" on each side. Done!


    • Similarly, you need to make the second eye of the peacock. Only the work is carried out in a mirror manner.
    It remains to connect the eyes with the beak, for this:

    • We pass a piece of wire in the last row of the beak and at one end the rim of the right eye of the peacock. The same action is repeated with the left eye;
    • Blue beads, which will connect the bird's eyes,Threaded on both sides of the wire. We pass it through the beads rim of the eye. String and connect it with the peacock's eyes. Thus, we weave the whole head of a peacock. The amount of material used depends on the size of the elements executed, the wishes regarding the size of the peacock. However, do not forget to follow the proportions.

    Neck
    When the eyes are completely connected, we make the neck.It is performed in exactly the same way as the beak. The number of beads increases by 3–4 pieces downwards. The length of this peacock element depends on your vision of the craft and should not be too long or short.
     
    Body In order to make the body neededBlue beads. The body is the extension of the neck. The way of weaving is similar to the neck. Only the amount of beads in the first half of the trunk increases (in each row, you need to add 1-2 pieces). The second half of the body is narrower. Gradually remove the same number of elements as added. The lower trunk should be slightly larger than the top.
    Wings To make wings you need to take materialFive different colors. The scheme of weaving the wing is carried out by the French method. For the main row, dial blue beads (7-10 pieces). Next, at your discretion, weave the following multi-colored arcs. Ready peacock wings must be carefully attached to the trunk. They should be adjacent to the peacock's body.


    Tail Peacock is famous for its tail. Each peacock's feather is iridescent. It is performed in mixed technique. The tip of the peacock's feather is weaved by the French method. The main series consists of beads and 2 beads. Then you need to weave 4-5 multi-colored rows.
    The peacock feather is finished using the needle technique.The weaving pattern in this way is simple. To prevent the peacock feathers from falling, a frame is needed. It should be rigid and pass through the center of the pen. Copper will do. The length of the peacock's tail is 13–15 centimeters.



    All that remains is to attach the tail, the paws made using the needle technique, and you can admire your creation. You can decorate the bird's head with short feathers. They can be done using the needle technique.

    This concludes our master class.It is not necessary to take beads of the same colors that we took. You can take any other combination. This also applies to the main color. The main thing is that it is bright. After all, a beaded peacock should “burn” when exposed to sunlight. Such a craft will always please the eye!
