The best gift is a handmade gift. Because you can immediately see how dear you are to a person who has given time and effort not only to go to the store and buy, but to create it himself. Usually children exchange such presents, they do not yet have personal pocket expenses, so they create as best they can. A beaded sheep will be a great gift, or rather, an addition to it. Since its size is not very large. Although, on March 8, Valentine's Day, the New Year will be just right! You can give just a figurine, but it is better to make it in the form of a keychain. Then you can definitely be sure that the thing will come in handy. For girls, a sheep can play the role of a pendant. Very interesting and unusual accessory.

What is required?

Do you want to make a beaded sheep? The scheme, whatever it may be, usually requires the same materials, there are only the slightest additions. So, the main set for creating a product:

• White beads is the main color, take more of it. Buy quality material, the type of work from this changes significantly. A cheap one will come in different sizes and have an uneven shape.
• Two black beads - for the eyes.
• Brown beads - for legs.
• Fishing line or wire
• Good mood.

Beading requires attention, so relax and fully immerse yourself in the work. Being carried away by the process, you will not notice how you finish. If something doesn't work, you don't need to quit - just calm down and try again. You will definitely get a beaded sheep, the weaving pattern is clear and accessible to everyone!

Skills

If you have not been involved in this type of activity before, then the first step is to learn some basics. How to make a cross:

1. Thread three beads on the fishing line, place them in the center.
2. Pass one end through another.
3. And with the second, going towards the first end, go through the last bead.
4. Tighten, the first cross turned out.
5. Now string one bead on one end and two on the other.
6. Pass the first end into the last bead of the other end, moving towards it.
7. You get the second cross, then follow the same pattern until the end of the row (until you finish the row).

When you learn how to make simple crosses, you can do more complex work.

Miniature Animal Head

If you are just a beginner needlewoman, then the scheme proposed below will seem easy enough for you. You will need a bead about a centimeter in diameter. More experienced ones can skip and immediately try weaving harder. Grab your supplies and get to work:

1. Weave five beige crosses. The beginning of the muzzle.
2. Start doing the sixth, clinging to the first cross. It turns out a vicious circle.
3. String two beads on one end and one on the other.
4. Shape a cross.
5. Go through two vertices of the first row with one of the ends. Two - in order to gradually narrow the product.
6. Take three beads. Weave a cross.
7. Pass the line to the next vertex, do the same.
8. And now again, passing through the top two beads, form a cross. Look at the photo.
9. Now turn over and weave on the free side of the first row.
10. Repeat the same as with the first row, passing through only one bead. But keep in mind that two crosses should first be beige, like a head, and four subsequent ones should be white like a muzzle.
11. Bring the line out of the side bead of the first cross and weave another row.
12. Two opposite beads next to the white color will be the beginning of the lugs.
13. String two brown beads, one from each end of the line.
14. Pass one edge through three new beads, and the second pass through them, heading to the second edge.
15. Thread two beads on one end and repeat the same.
16. Finish the ears with one bead.
17. Do not cut the line, it will then connect the head to the body.
18. Brew the second eyelet.

The beaded sheep is half done. The head is already there, let's start the torso.

The body is made according to the same principle:

1. The first row consists of ten crosses, the eleventh is a connecting one.
2. The second row is woven through the top of each cross.
3. And the third is already decreasing.
4. Place a large bead inside and keep tapering.
5. When finished with the torso, in the same pattern as the ears, weave the tail.
6. Sew the pieces together.

That's it! The beaded sheep is ready, the master class has been completed, now it remains to decide what to do with the product.

Complex voluminous sheep

Those who are already good at beading will get a more natural beaded sheep. The weaving pattern is shown in the photo. We make according to the principle of the canvas:

1. First, the usual row of three white crosses is woven.
2. Fourth turn at a right angle. To do this, creating a cross, thread the fishing line with two beads, heading towards the other edge.
3. Make another cross, turning at the same angle.
4. Weave four regular white crosses.
5. Start fifth, but the last bead must be black.
6. Make a completely black cross followed by two white ones.
7. Weave the last cross of the leg with the first, you get the first volume.
8. Continue weaving the beaded sheep until you reach the front leg.
9. Weave it too, and then fold it over.
10. Braid a vertical rowtowards the eye, this is the black bead in the photo.
11. Keep braiding the head and back to the body.

In the same way, weave the second part of the torso. The beaded sheep is almost ready. Make the ears with a simple set of beads on the fishing line. Weave both halves together, gradually filling the figure with cotton.
