Materials and tools for making a snake from beads
Prepare everything you need before starting work. You will need: - beads of dark green and light green hues - several beads of orange color - 2 beads of gray color for snake's eyes - thin wire for beading - 1.5 mm thick copper wire - nippers. Prepare a wire for beadwork, cut a piece about 30 cm long. If it does not suffice, then just put another piece into the weave. Volumetric weaving of snakes
Very effectively looks like a snake, woven intotechnique of voluminous weaving. Start with the language of the snake. String on the wire 3 beads of orange, arrange them in the middle of the wire and pass one of its ends through 2 beads. Tighten the wire. At one end, thread 3 more beads of orange color and in the same way as described above, stretch its end through 2 beads, pull them to the finished part of the tongue, fold both ends of the wire together and string 3 beads on them. This way you will get a bifurcated serpent tongue. Next go on to weaving the snake's head. At one end of the wire, dial 3 beads of dark green color, drag the second side through the beads and pull, then string in the same way 2 beads of light green color and extend through them the second end of the wire. In this way, we make the weaving of the snake's back (from the dark green beads) and its abdomen (from the beads of a light green hue). In the following rows, increase the number of beads in each tier by one, that is, in the second row, 4 dark beads and 4 light shades , in the third - 5 and 4, respectively. In the fourth row, string 6 beads of dark green color and the same light green on the wire. In the next row, make the eyes of the snake. String one green bead, then a gray bead, 3 green beads, 1 gray and 1 green again. Pass the second end of the wire through them and weave the lower tier. String 7 beads of light shade on one end of the wire and pass through them the second end of the wire. Next, make a decrease in each successive row, so that the head of the snake has an elongated shape, in the last row of this part there should be 6 beads in the upper and lower tiers. Go to the weaving of the trunk of the snake. Weave without excesses and hammers to the required length, threading 6 beads in the upper and lower tiers of the part. When you have dopplete to the required value, start making the cuts to make the tail of the snake. Do this gradually, reducing the number of beads in every fourth row by one. When there are 2 beads remaining in each tier, insert a thick copper wire into the body. Thus, the finished craft can be given the desired shape. Cut off the excess part of the wire and thread 7-8 rows straight, then type one bead of dark color, pass through both ends of the wire, twist them and cut them with pliers.
