easy tutorial on how to make little fish friends like on the cover image!
Step 1
you will need: string (not that much) pony beads (9 of your choice, one black for the eye. you should have 10 including the eye) patience (this can take up to 5 minutes or more if your a slow learner) START!!!!!! start by putting 2 beads on each end of the string pull one bead over both ends of the string, (if you do it right, it should look like the image below)
Step 2
PULLLLL!! once pulled, add 1 bead to each end like you did in the first step. then pull the black bead over both ends of the string again. then, put 1 bead on both ends again. should look like image below if done correctly.
Step 3
tie it off, then thread one end through the closest bead to it
Step 4
repeat to the other side once it looks like this. should look like the image below.
Step 5
once you've done that, put one bead on each side and thread it through to the neighboring bead.
Step 6
you've got your fish friend! now to tie it off, you have to thread the string into the bead connecting the tail and body, once that's done to both sides you have to thread the string through the 2 beads that make the tail, once you got that done it will look like the image above.
Step 7
now tie it off with any tie method you need to use. I use a double tie method. Now, almost done. Cut the excess string. It will look like image above. you're finally done!!!!! you're done your fishy friend! give your fish some friends to hang out with or it will be lonely D: (not forcing)!!!! now that you've finished your fish, you can add them to anything, like make them into a belt chain or a belt in general!!! now that you know how to make a fishy friend you can teach your own friends how to make their own fish! oki bye!!1!!!1!1!!!!11!1!
that was fun! lets do it again another day! I hope you had fun with this little fishy! XD
