Angel of Beads

On the eve of Valentine's Day, many are racking their brains about what to give to their loved one. There is no better gift than the one that is made by oneself and in which all the love and kind wishes of the donor are enclosed. That's why we propose to give the amulet - an angel woven from beads. About how to make your own hands from beads to an angel and will be a speech in our master class.

For an angel of beads, we will need:

• a large transparent bead for the head;
• white wire - 1 meter;
• white beads of different diameters;
• golden beads;
• transparent and golden beads.

Getting Started

1. What kind of angel without a halo? That's it with him and we begin captivity. For a halo, we will string 17 golden beads onto the wire and place them exactly in the middle of the wire.
2. The ends of the wire will pass through a large transparent bead towards each other.
3. The head and halo for the angel are ready.
4. The ends of the wire are twisted several times - this will be the neck of our angel.
5. We begin to weave the torso. First, take one large white bead and thread the ends of the wire into it.
6. For the second row, we connect in the same way two large white beads.
7. Weaving two rows of the trunk, we begin to weave the wings of our angel. For each of them, take 23 transparent beads and string them on the ends of the wire.
8. Next, we will string a golden bead - this will be the tip of the wing.
9. The end of the wire will pass through the last in the row a transparent bead and carefully draw.
10. The lower part of the wing will consist of 19 transparent beads. Gently string them on the wire.
11. The end of the wire will pass through two large beads - the second row of the trunk.
12. Repeat all operations for the second wing. The wings of our angel are ready.
13. Hands of the angel weave from 6 white beads and 1 golden. Dense string beads on the wire.
14. We pass the free end of the wire through all the white beads, bypassing the golden one. The wire is carefully tightened, evenly distributing beads along it.
15. We repeat these operations for the second hand. The hands of our angel are ready.
16. We continue to weave the trunk. To do this, we will weave 3 large white beads in the third row, and each successive row will be made on 1 bead wider.
17. After five rows of white beads, the next row is woven from golden beads. They we needed 11 pieces, but the quantity can vary, depending on the size.
18. The last row is made of 8 large white beads.
19. We fix the ends of the wire, passing one of its ends through a row, woven from golden beads. The ends of the wire are twisted and cut.
20. As a result, we have got such a wonderful bead angel woven by such a simple scheme of weaving that even for beginners it will not be difficult.
21. In order for the angel figure to turn out to be voluminous, we introduce small adjustments to the weaving scheme. After stripping the beads for each row of the trunk and passing through the free end of the wire, turn the figure around and repeat this operation from its back side. Thus, the angel from the beads will turn out not flat, but volumetric. But the beads for its production in this case will need twice as much.
22. After the end of the last row, the ends of the wire remain on the different sides of the figure. We pass them through the last row towards each other, twist and cut off the excess.
23. Volumetric angel of beads is ready.

Beautiful angels can also be sewn from fabric and made from paper .
