Hopefully, youve read the first part of the Beading for Beginners and you know what type of beads and wire or nylon fishing line to use for different animals. You will learn here how to make the body of the bead animals.
The main animal beading technique is the Back and Forth technique. Its hard to believe that this is the main technique, because it is so simple. Okay, everything is slower and a small bit more difficulty if you want to do it nicely. However, after you have tried and made it a few times it will be just childs play.
Use this technique to make the body of the bead animals (and sometimes the tail of the animals). After youve finished the first row, make the second row by doing the same thing again. In this way, make the rest of the animals body.
Lets get started!
String the beads (usually one, two or three depending on what you are making) on either side of the wire. If youre beginning a new bead animal string the bead(s) on the center of the wire.
Now, loop back with the opposite wire through the beads. If youre making the first row, then thread one wire around and through the first bead(s)
Pull it very tightly. If it is not in the right place (not exactly beside the row before), then bend it until it looks even and lovely.
Now, here is an important point:
if you are making an animal that should be flat, then push the rows beside each other (and use wire). However, if your animal supposed to be round (3D), pull each row very tightly to make them overlap. If it doesnt help, then simply put the rows right opposite of each other. After that, if you look at your animal from side, then the rows should look zigzagging.
One more thing: do not forget the eyes or any patterns of the animal, use different colors for them.
