Sladkov spring is the main idea. Spring conversation
This master class will tell you step by step how to weave a horseshoe from beads. Such a horseshoe can serve as a talisman or symbolize good luck and prosperity in life. The hande-made master who prepared this MK specifically decided to make this horseshoe of a small size, because a small horseshoe made of beads can be presented as a gift as a keychain or pendant for a car mirror.
So, prepare the necessary material for the craft, “turn on” patience and start the craft.
MK: Small twisted beaded horseshoe
To make a horseshoe measuring 4 by 2.5 cm you will need:
- beads and glass beads,
- fishing line,
- fine needle
- some kind of fastening (in my case - wire).
We collect 7 beads on a fishing line and close them into a ring. The tip of the fishing line, which remains unnecessary after fastening, is threaded through the beads several times, then cut off.
After you finish the first row, you will have a star like this. We continue weaving by sticking the needle into the first bead after the glass bead.
As you begin to weave the third row, your horseshoe base will begin to take on the appearance of a tube. Don't forget to monitor the tension of the fishing line. You must not allow it to weaken, otherwise the horseshoe will turn out flabby and will not hold its shape well.
Continue braiding until your rope is approximately twice as long as the desired horseshoe size.
The base of the horseshoe is ready. Now we need to take care of the fastening.
We form a figure of a suitable size from the wire.
We insert it into the base.
And we bend the protruding tails upward, fixing the structure.
We correct all the forms, and we can praise ourselves - our horseshoe is ready.
