Beading is quite a popular hobby, because with its help you can create a huge number of interesting crafts - from brooches and pendants to handbags. Fish - this is probably the simplest thing that you can weave from beads. Such an article can serve as a decorative souvenir, keyring or even jewelry. A scheme of weaving this fish from beads is quite simple and suitable for beginners.

Prepare the beads of the desired color (in this example - golden) and a thin wire. If instead of it you use a fishing line, then the craft will be more flexible. So, let's start:

1. We begin to weave always from the head. Dial 5 beads on a long wire. Ideally, they should be the same size and shape, then the craft will be more beautiful and symmetrical. But if the beads are uneven, do not despair - just your fish will become more peculiar.
2. Of the 5 beads collected, 3 will be the first row, and 2 - the next, the second. In order to separate them, stretch the free end of the wire through the 3 first beads in the opposite direction.
3. For the third row, type 5 beads on one of the "antennae" of the wire. The second one should be taken in a different color, thus selecting the eye.
4. In addition, if desired, you can select the color and bottom of the fish. Use beads of the same color for this, but slightly different in shade. Weave in the same way the fourth and fifth rows, each time typing on one bead more.
5. In the sixth row, the top three beads are typed in gold, and the three lower ones are yellow (you can use other shades of your existing beads). In the middle between them there is one green bead.
6. Now let's find out how to make fin for a fish of a bead fin. Between the sixth and the seventh row, dial six beads of the main color (in this case golden) on the end of the wire that is placed on top. Then draw the same wire through the five lower beads, making a ring around the sixth, the last.
7. The next two rows are similar to the sixth, and between the seventh and the eighth weave the same part of the fin as described above, but instead of six beads, only three must be typed. Then pull the free end of the wire through the uppermost bead, connecting the resulting two bars to the fin, as shown in the figure.
8. The ninth row consists of four beads, two of each color. As a rule, after this you need to weave a fish tail from the beads. They are done in exactly the same way as the fin in point 6. If your miniature goldfish will be used as earrings, do not forget to fasten the shvenza on the tip of the upper fin.
