Beaded cat

Handicraft techniques / Beading / Beading master class 29 546 1

In order to make a beaded cat with your own hands, we will need:

1) Czech beads of two colors. I chose gold as the main one and silver (for the belly);

2) Green, pink small and large beads for eyes and cheeks;

3) Two large beads of different sizes for the body and head;

4) Threads that match the main color of the cat;

5) Wire for attaching paws, ears and whiskers;

6) Thin ribbon for a bow;

7)Tools for convenient work.

I advise you to choose Czech beads, since they have large holes, they are the same size and are very shiny.

Let's start braiding a large bead with beads. This way we will make the body of our cat. We braid in a circle, starting with five beads and constantly increasing their number.

When you have reached the middle, insert the bead and continue braiding with it. And most importantly, insert silver beads in the shape of a circle in place of the cat’s belly.

After the body, we braid the head in the same way. Only here the silver beads are already in place of the muzzle. Don't think about the eyes or ears for now, all this will be attached later.Now carefully sew the head to the body with threads. Make sure that the face and white belly match.

You can make a ponytail. First, we attach a wire to the base of the tail so that the tail can then bend. We weave a regular strand around the wire, starting from the center of the braiding of the bead, which serves as the body for us. In every second row we change colors. This way we get a tail like this.

Now let's move on to the paws. There should be four of them. Two shorter (rear) and two longer (front). I was in the process of finishing my fourth paw, so I only photographed three. They are very easy to make. We string beads onto the wire and bend them to make two rows. Then we secure them with wire to the body.
