You can use schemes, patterns, calculations. In order to work with beads, special skills are not required. The main thing is desire and accuracy.

General tips on how to work with beads

• Prepare the workplace. Good lighting and free space are important. All the required materials and devices must be laid out so that they can be taken without getting up.
• It is desirable for each color to have a separate container or pouch. Some wizards fit a plastic tab for this Candy boxes. Of course, after the sweets are eaten.

How to make a cat out of beads to those who have never worked with this material?

The Easiest Way

• Draw a diagram on the cells of the notebook or take it from the magazine. The easiest way is to cross over the copy sheet, like a material in front of the cutting edge, to translate through a carbon paper any picture with a cat standing on the paws. Then leaf expand and copy half the image to the clean side of the inflection line.
• Count how many bead-beads will be required for each row. Write near the circled outline, so that each time you do not have to count again.

Beads can be sewn in parallel in a more complicated way or in a row, interlacing the rows through 5-6 beads.

How to make a cat of different colors from beads, everyone decides for himself and chooses the appropriate material. The main thing - do not forget the contrasting beads when weaving the cat's head to allocate eyes. Beginners are better not to abuse color, you can get confused.

After the work is completed, the cat's skin is obtained. It is enough to bend it in half - and the cat from the beads will stand on its paws.

It's just as easy to make a sitting kitten. Beads are threaded on the rings of wire, each of which is slightly narrower than the previous one.

The tail and ears are made separately, the wire with beads is fixed by twisting, the ends are cut off. The nose and eyes are highlighted after the figure is ready.

Brooch making

How to make a cat-brooch from beads? An approximate calculation is given for a small figure (about 1.5 cm).

• Prepare black and yellow beads.
• Cut off a piece of wire (60 cm).
• 3 pcs. Black beads thread on the middle and by passing the wire criss-cross bend the triangle.
• Another 16 black beads add and pairwise pass through the other end of the wire. The double row of closely fitting beads is the tail.
• Go to the hind legs 5 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 5. Each foot is made separately. Cut the wire, hide it in beads, twist and disguise it. Then cut off.

Scheme of the ears: 1 - 2 on 2 rows.

Part with chest and head + front paws:

• Row: 6 black beads.
• Row: black - yellow - 2 black - 1 yellow - 1 black.
• Other black rows according to the scheme: 6 - 4 - 4 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 5.

The parts are folded together and fixed with wire. The ends are hidden inwards.

A little about the methods of work

If a wire is selected for a cat made of beads, the rows are twisted together to secure it. It is necessary to make sure that this happens on one level, through a series, otherwise the figure will look sloppy.

In the case when the beads were stringed on the threads, the way of fixing this is: the reverse retraction of the needle - and again a step forward.

The ends are tightly fixed firmly between themselves. If the thread is synthetic, kapron, then it is better to burn it, so that the beads do not fly off.

How to make a cat-brooch out of beads so that you can wear it? Screw directly to the product or sewing the attachment is not desirable. With this action, the whole product can be ugly pulled.

It is best to cut a piece of skin in the shape of a cat and glue it on the contour. It needs to be done very carefully, in order to avoid the flow of sticky substance on the front side. Glue "Moment" does not warp the product and does not spread.

The pin is attached to the lining of the skin.
