DIY beaded parrot in the photo. Macaw parrot and others How to weave a parrot from beads pattern

At the last MC on weaving volumetric beaded animals I told you how to weave.

Today we are weaving a parrot.

To work, you will need a wire 2 meters long and 0.3 mm in diameter. Beads 6 colors (see diagram).

1. We put 3 black beads in the middle of the wire and after 2 we close them into a ring.

2. We continue to weave the parrot’s head according to the pattern. Please note that the first 2 rows are woven flat. This is indicated by the black lines passing after each row. As soon as the volumetric weaving begins, the lines will pass through 2 rows. The diagram on the right shows the colors of beads that were used to weave the bird.

3. The last row of the diagram is the fastening of the wings. Each wing will require additional pieces of wire of approximately 30 - 35 cm.

4. Insert additional pieces of wire, as shown in the diagram, through the last 3 beads of the row. Let's remember at what point are additional wires inserted? Then, when the row is put on, it is threaded through the second end, but not tightened to the end and it can be made even. If the row is tightened, it will be much more difficult to thread the wires.

5. On each of the additional wires, its own wing is woven according to the pattern. Don't forget that the wings are mirrored. When the wing is woven, we secure the ends of the wires along broaches.

6. We continue to weave according to the pattern until the yellow row of 12 beads. We insert another additional wire approximately 30 cm long. Look carefully, the wire is threaded through the 6 central beads of the row.

7. We weave 3 more rows and in the fourth again insert additional wire through the 3 central beads.

8. On each pair of wire ends we make tabs according to the diagram. Weave the fingers on the end that looks forward, the heel on the one that looks back. At the end, carefully twist the ends by about 1 cm and cut them at a distance of 0.5 cm from the beginning of the twist. We bend the end towards the foot.

9. The second leg is woven on the second pair of wires.

If you weave a beaded parrot using this weaving pattern, believe me, your children will be delighted! Happy creativity!

A beaded bird can be an excellent interior decoration, toy or talisman. To create it you need a suitable pattern, thin wire, beads of different colors and, of course, your imagination.

DIY green firebird

It is best to make a green firebird using the parallel weaving technique. The essence of this method is simple - we string a bead onto a wire, and first string those beads that will be below onto one end of the wire, and then thread the other through them. Using the same principle, add the remaining rows.

Before weaving a green firebird, it is better to draw a diagram. Outline only the body; all other parts must be made using a different technology. It is better to start creating a green firebird with a beak made of black beads. It should be a thin strip.

Next, add other rows. You can use beads of light green, emerald, and marsh colors. All shades are either combined in one row, or each row consists of one of them.

The next task is to add the tail and wings. The easiest way would be to make parts of the wings and tail in the form of strips, which need to be fastened together and tied to the body. Considering that the firebird itself will be green, you should use similar shades of beads and combine them with other suitable colors, such as bronze, gold, orange, red, black, brown or yellow.

To make the green firebird as impressive as possible, string contrasting beads onto the ends of the pieces. Remember that there must be one pattern for both wings.

Bird of happiness made of beads

You can make a bird of happiness using the parallel weaving technique, but in such a way that it is used in the process of making the wings and tail.

First you need to draw a diagram so that it represents both the body and the tail. The tail should be widened downwards. It is better to look for bright colors, for example, orange, blue, light blue, emerald, etc.

After the body and tail are ready, you need to weave the wings using a parallel technique and wrap them to the base. It is advisable that each wing consist of three parts.

To make the tail of a beaded bird more interesting, you can tie threads of beads and wire to it.

Stork made of beads

When making this voluminous bird, you can use several techniques at once. It’s easy to make legs - we string red beads onto a thick wire and wrap three small wires with several beads to the bottom.

When creating the torso and head, you should use a different technique. We string white beads onto a wire, roll them into a ring and create a second row, winding the wire to the previous one after stringing each bead. It’s better to start from the tail, then widen the rings in the body area, and then narrow and lift them up to form the neck and head. The eyes can be glued, and the beak can be created separately and tied on.

The wings are created using the parallel weaving technique. For their base you need white beads, and for the tips - black. Next, we tape them to the body.

Animals made of beads: DIY weaving lessons and patterns (video)

Small, beautiful animals made of beads are original crafts that are perfect as a small gift or can be a good decor for a room, mobile phone or keys. Such products do not require a lot of financial expenditure, time and skill. For beginner needlewomen, this is a great way to have fun. If you have never done this type of beadwork, it is better to immediately watch a video of such work.

Selecting materials for beading

What do you need to weave animals?
Almost all beaded animals are made from the same materials.
To make them you need:

small beads;
large beads;
special thread, wire or fishing line;
scissors;
accessories;
scheme.

Regarding the last point, if you have never dealt with such work, then for the first time it is better to choose something simpler. For beginning craftsmen, the simplest crafts that do not require a wide variety of materials are suitable. To learn how to use the diagrams, just follow the drawing and detailed description of the work process.
How to choose beads for weaving animals? There are mainly two types of similar materials sold in the markets - Chinese and Czech beads. The first few are cheaper. But if you want your beaded animals to turn out beautiful, it’s better to go with the second option. Unlike Chinese, Czech has the same size and color of beads. And this guarantees good beading density and a successful combination of shades.
How to choose a thread for weaving animals? The correct choice of such material helps to create a beautiful craft. In this case, it is better to choose fishing line. Its advantage is that such a thread is very strong and practically invisible in the product. Animals made from beads on fishing line turn out to be especially beautiful.
But for beginners it may seem like a rather difficult tool. In order to learn how to weave a fishing line, you need some skills. Therefore, for the first time it is better to choose a special thread or wire. It's easy to work with her. For beaded animals, the main thing is that it is very strong.

Octopus made of beads

To create an animal you will need:

beads of a suitable color;
yellow beads;
wire;
scissors.

Manufacturing process:

For the craft, cut a wire about 50 centimeters long. We collect 7 beads of the main color and move them to the center;

After this, we separate the three elements and insert one end of the metal thread through the four beads. You will get a loop. We do everything according to the plan;

At the next stage of weaving, we string 5 elements. Thread the other end of the metal thread through them. You will get a loop again. Fix it in such a way that the beads fit together as tightly as possible;

Using this method you need to make nine rows. After this, all bead tiers should be straightened so that the workpiece acquires volume;

The tenth row must be woven according to this principle: first put on three beads of the main color, followed by one yellow one, then a loop is made through the yellow element, the end of the wire is threaded into the last bead and three more beads of the main colors are put on. Behind them is another yellow one and again we make a loop with it, inserting the end of the thread into a bead of the main color. Tighten the bend well and put on three beads of the chosen color again. It turned out to be half an octopus head with eyes. The weaving pattern for this element is presented below;

Next, we continue to weave in a parallel way. We attach the neck and body using this method. We make nine more rows of these;

Then we proceed to making the tentacles. For this weaving, divide the entire row of beads into three elements. For every three beads, you need to thread pieces of wire about half a meter long;

These are future tentacles. They need to be woven just like the body. That is, by a parallel method;

After creating all the animal's paws, they must be secured in the correct position using fishing line.

The octopus is ready!

Beaded parrot

These beaded birds look bright and unusual. The work is not very difficult, the main thing is to understand the most complex processes.

To make this wonderful bird you will need:

wire;
blue beads;
red beads;
green beads;
yellow beads;
black beads;
purple beads;
scissors.

Manufacturing process:

We start weaving a bird from beads from the head. We take a wire with a diameter of 3 mm. Its length should be about 3 meters. We put 3 black beads in the middle. After two, we connect them into a ring in such a way that each end passes through the last bead on the other side;

The parrot's head weaves quite easily. The main thing is that the first two rows are flat. Black lines should be made after each tier;

Next there will be more voluminous weaving. In this version, black lines must be woven through two rows;

The next stage of weaving a bird from beads will be attaching the wings. For these parts you will need additional pieces of wire. For each it should be from 30 to 35 centimeters. This is the main nuance, because then the element may simply not work out;

Insert the end of the metal thread into the last three beads of the selected row, as the diagram shows;

Wings can only be attached to the row of the craft that is not very tight. In other words, to the place where the weaving can be made even;

The wings need to be made with mirror weaving. Once the elements are ready, their ends are fastened along broaches;

Thus, it is necessary to weave until the yellow row appears.

As soon as you need to start a different color, attach an additional piece of wire. It must be at least 30 centimeters. It is attached by pulling the end through the six central beads of the row. This way the weaving will be strong;

With this weaving you need to make three more rows. Once they are finished, insert an additional piece of wire. The length of which should be 30 cm;

Use this metal thread to form paws. Those parts that are more forward will be the toes, and those that are behind will be the heels;

Each finger of the beaded bird should be twisted. It is tedious to cut off the excess wire. The second leg is woven in the same way;

Once the parrot is ready, you need to secure all the ends of the wire.

Beaded lion

We offer you an interesting master class on making a lion from beads. These beaded animals are small in size, but voluminous and beautiful.

For production you will need:

wire or fishing line;
yellow shiny beads;
orange shiny beads;
several black beads;
one pink bead;
fabric or paper as filler.

Manufacturing process:
To weave a lion, use the most common parallel weaving. It gives the product a special volume. The mane will be made using the needle method. Such beaded animals require quite a lot of skill. Especially in volumetric weaving. Therefore, such crafts are not entirely suitable for beginner needlewomen.

We begin to weave the product from the top of the head, then gradually move to the nose;

The lower two tiers are made in a row. All subsequent rows of beading are done using the top-bottom method. From the bottom row we begin to make the mane;

We put 1 orange and five gold on the wire. Be very careful with colors. If you get it wrong, the product won’t work out a bit;

Next, take an orange bead, put it on a wire and pass it through the next four. Ideally, it should turn out like this: the first, main one remains at the beginning. Pull the wire in such a way that you get a needle. This process can be seen in the schematic image;

Then we take the same five beads, but pass them in the other direction through the four that were put on;

Tighten the wire well. This is how you need to make the last needle of the mane;

Let's move on to the second free wire. We must pull it through the orange element. We tighten the ends of the wires and lower them at the bottom of the craft. This will create a mane;

The craft ears are made using the reverse beading method. Only in this case the wire is pulled after every four beads. The metal thread opposite is tightened. Immediately placed on top. Thus, we got the face of a lion;

The paws must be woven voluminously on additional wire. The feet are made using the usual flat method;

The lion's tail is also woven voluminously and on a separate thread. The end of the tail is made using the needle method;

Fill each voluminous piece with filler;

After finishing weaving each part, twist the ends of the wire tightly and cut off the rest. Connect all the parts together. Leo is ready!

Beaded deer

To work you will need:

black beads;
brown shiny beads;
yellow shiny beads;
gray shiny beads;
black beads;
scissors;
wire.

Manufacturing process:

We begin making crafts by weaving horns. We string beads onto the middle of a metal thread, as the diagram shows. We continue to work according to the drawing;

Then we start creating the head. To do this, cut a piece of wire about half a meter long. We start making the animal by making the nose. We do the work with volumetric parallel weaving;

After the head of the craft is ready, the horns should be attached to it. To do this, in a certain place you need to thread a metal thread with six beads and attach the horns to it, threading the end into two elements of the workpiece;

After this, you need to put four beads on the wire and stretch the second end of the metal thread through all the beads of the row in the opposite direction;

Let's start making the ears. To do this, cut a piece of wire and weave according to the diagram;

To attach them to the head of the craft, you need to stretch the end of the thread from the head through the bottom row of ear beads;

At the next stage of beading, we begin making the body. To weave this workpiece, you need to cut a piece of wire about two meters long and thread it through the lower tier of beads on the head;

The body weaves in volume. Let's start from the bottom row. We weave using the up-down method;

To make the legs of a deer, you need to attach additional wires in appropriate places;

Beading of limbs occurs using the inward-outward method;

For the tail, you also need to cut off a piece of metal thread and weave it according to the diagram;

The tail is attached by pulling the wire through the entire row of beads in the appropriate place. The deer is ready!

This article presents beaded animals of small sizes. If you want to make the same animals, but larger, you can use larger beads, or even replace them with beads. But you need to know that the appearance of the craft will also change. When you want to make only some part of the animal longer, for example, the tail of a bird, you can simply add another row of beads in the calculations of the pattern. Volumetric animals made of beads are very interesting crafts. They can not only be a beautiful hobby, but also an excellent gift for a loved one.
