Angel of seed beads

Hello everybody! At the suggestion of Dahlia, I put the craft manual ausm craft thread now synonymous with the tips.

Although it's still quite a while to Christmas, but (protective) angels you can always need. Here I have a guide to small angels of seed beads (I always take these small, pinhead size), developed by myself.

"Ingredients":


- 1 wooden bead, natural, about 8mm (head
- 6 pearls, color apricot (hands)
- 26 pearls, color transparent white (wings)
- 120 pearls, color to taste
- approx. 1 arm length nylon thread, max. 0.3mm

production:

First a knot on the thread, so you do not cut off the beads, then thread 25 colored beads. Knot to the narrow circle. Now thread 9 colored beads. From where the thread emerges from the circle, count 3 beads and pull the thread with the 9 beads through the beads 4 and 5, so that something like a petal is created. Repeat 5 times until you reach the beginning of the first leaf after five "flower petals" with the thread again.


Now the thread is pulled from below through the first five beads of the first petal. When he comes out the top, thread two colored beads and pull the thread through the fifth (middle) bead of sheet two, thread two beads again, draw thread through the middle pearl of sheet three, and so on, until the bottom floor, the angel's skirt, stands and a closed circle is formed at the top (finished by drawing the thread through the middle pearl of leaf one).

Again, make petals, as below. But this time only three in number. Close these three petals, each with a colored pearl, between the middle pearls.

Now thread the wooden bead, followed by two apricot-colored beads. After the apricot-colored beads that serve as stoppers, thread the thread through the hole in the wooden bead and pull it (carefully) until the head comes to rest on the garment. Now pull the thread through the pearl that lies opposite the one from which it springs.


Now put on five colorful beads and two apricot-colored ones. Threading the thread through the first apricot-colored and the five colored beads, an arm and hand are created. Also, the thread must be pulled through the next bead on the "neck" of the robe, so that the arm is properly "sitting".

Now come the wings: thread five transparent beads with the thread through the penultimate (counted from the garment, pearl No. 4) through again (this creates a tip that does not dissolve) and then raise eight transparent beads. Now thread through two beads of the "Taillie" of the garment (the ring of 15 beads).

Then thread ten beads for the second wing and pull the thread for the lace back through the penultimate bead (bead No. 9), thread three more beads. Now thread the thread back through a "neck bead", the second to the one from which wing one springs.

Now attach arm no. 2 (five colorful beads, two apricot-colored ones), thread the thread through the neighboring bead again and now wrap a few times around the neck and finish with a sturdy knot.

I always take the remaining thread as a hanger, threaded through the wing tips. And if you like, you can attach wire curls to the apricot-colored stopper beads on the head.

I hope my instructions were understandable, if not I am there for any questions (if necessary by PN) ...
