This detailed master-class will teach butterfly weaving from beads
That's why one frosty December evening I wove a butterfly from beads.
I used crystals and small white beads, andalso scarlet "drops" in the tone of the crystals used. I prefer to weave on a fishing line. Strong. Reliable. You can also take monofilament. It's up to you to decide what to choose.
Let's start weaving. 1. String 5 white small round beads onto the needle.
2. Tie the beads into a circle. Tie the weaving thread and the end of the thread. Go through this circle with the needle several times for strength.
3. Insert a crystal between each bead. The crystals will stand with their narrow part towards the bead. All the crystals are facing upwards from the center.
4. Exit the crystal. Put a bead, crystal, bead on the needle. Enter the neighboring crystal.
5. We go through the entire circle, creating another circle above the first central circle.
6. We leave the crystal of the central circle, which looks up. We string on the needle, alternating, 5 beads and 4 crystals.
7. We enter the neighboring crystal looking upwards.We pass the needle through the formed circle twice for the strength of the weaving. This is how we wove the upper wing of the butterfly. Coming out into the next crystal looking up, we again collect 5 beads, 4 crystals. We enter the neighboring crystal looking up. This is how we wove the lower wing.
8. Inside the lower wing we insert another crystal with two beads.
9. To the lower bead of the lower wing we hang a drop and 4 beads. We do this so that the drop is in the center. And above it 5 white beads.
10. The first half of the butterfly is woven. 11. We begin to weave the second half. To do this, we begin weaving from the beginning. We repeat all steps 1 through 5 of weaving the first half of the butterfly. 12. We pass over the central circle over 4 crystals. The 5th crystal will be common with the other half of the butterfly. We collect a bead, a crystal of the first half, a bead. The circle is closed.
13. Weave the upper wing symmetrically to the first one.
14. We knit the lower wing symmetrically to the first one.
15. Weave the “drop” to the lower wing.
16. Weave the crystal inside the lower wing.
17. And I decided to weave another crystal and 2 beads into the upper wing. We do the same as on the lower wing.
18. This is what the butterfly turned out like.
19. It remains to weave the antennae. We come out from the central white beads. We collect 12 beads on both sides.
20. This butterfly can be used as earrings. In this case, we put the earwire on the loop of beads coming out on one side and entering the other side in the center.
Well, if you don’t put on an earwire, it will be a wonderful pendant, a wonderful decoration at any time of the year. 
And here are some more versions of my “Butterflies”.
Create! And your life will be beautiful and interesting.
