Hi! Here I will teach you step by step how to make the butterfly in the picture! :) I use mine as a keychain! you can hang yours anywhere you want, like on your bag or whatever! :)
Step 1
First of all, beads! You need *38* beads for the wings, and A TOTAL OF 16 beads of the body. You also need two black (or any other color) for the eyes. (You can see I'm using two colors for the body, you can use how much you want, but it has to be A TOTAL OF 16 beads.)
Step 2
Now you need string! I use stretchy string, but I think any would be good. String on two beads (bead color- the color you chose for the body)
Step 3
Now string on three beads: the color you chose for the eyes, the middle color (body) and the other eye. Put the other string end into the beads (as shown in the picture) and pull it until it reaches the other beads (that you put in previously)
Step 4
Here, you can see how it should look like, and now you need to string on three beads (the color you chose for the body), insert the other string end into the beads, (shown in the picture) and pull.
Step 5
This is how it should look like!
Step 6
string on 12 beads (the color you chose for the wings) on EACH END OF THE STRING.
Step 7
Take the end of the string, and string it through the last row of beads we did (shown in the picture) pull, and do the same thing on the other side!
Step 8
Like that!
Step 9
This is how it should like!
Step 10
Now, string on three beads (the color you chose for the body) and put the other end of the string through those three beads.
Step 11
This is how it should look like.
Step 12
String on each end seven beads (the color you chose for the wings)
Step 13
Take the end of the string, and string it through the last row of beads we did (shown in the picture) pull, and do the same thing on the other side!
Step 14
This is how it should look like!
Step 15
Now string on two beads (of the color you chose for the body) and put the other end of the string through those two beads (shown in the picture)
Step 16
do the same thing as shown in the last step TWICE. I mean string on two beads (the color you chose for the body), then put the other end of the string through those two beads, and do this exact step another time
Step 17
This is how it should look like, and now all you need to do is string on one last bead, put the the other end of the string through (shown in the picture) and tie it off! That's it! after you tied it off, cut the excess string you don't need, and now you can do whatever you want with it! :)
TYSM people for reading my tutorial! English isn't my first language, so there might be some problems, but I really hope you could understand everything!
