We start weaving the keychain from the nose. To do this, string a golden bead and one white bead onto one end of the fishing line, and thread the other end of the fishing line through a white bead. Next, tighten the fishing line, distributing the beads in the middle.
Next, we collect 2 red beads in the same way and tighten them. We also collect two white beads and tighten them.
We continue to put beads on the fishing line and weave a keychain as follows: 2 red and tighten, 3 white and tighten, 3 red and tighten.
Then again 3 white, 3 red and 4 white. We tighten each row well.Then we weave a row in which there will be eyes from black beads - we collect 1 red bead, 1 black, 1 red, 1 black and 1 red. We tighten it.
After the eyes, we weave the crocodile’s neck - we collect 4 white ones, tighten the fishing line, then 3 red ones, tighten them. Then the weaving continues as follows: 3 white, tighten, 4 red, tighten, 4 white, tighten and 4 red, tighten.
We begin to make rows in which the crocodile’s paws will weave. First, we put 4 red and 1 white beads on one end of the fishing line, then we pass the end through the red ones, leaving the white one and tighten it.
On the other side we do the same actions.
After the row with the legs, we weave a row of the body: we collect 4 white beads and tighten them, then 5 red ones and tighten them, then 5 white beads and tighten them, 5 red beads and tighten them. We weave a row with the second pair of legs: we put 4 red and 1 white beads on one end of the fishing line, thread the fishing line through the red ones and tighten. We weave the last leg in the same way.
After the row with the last pair of legs, we string 4 white beads onto the fishing line and tighten, then 4 red ones and also tighten. Then 3 white, 3 red, 2 white, 2 red and again 2 white. After each set of beads, do not forget to tighten the row. We complete the weaving of the crocodile with a tail in the form of a circle for hooking the keys. To do this, we collect 13 beads on one end of the fishing line, alternating white and red, and tie them at least three times.
After you have tied the fishing line and cut off its ends at least 5 mm, you need to set it on fire to secure it.
Our keychain is ready; it took about 40 minutes to weave this souvenir.
If you replace size No. 8 beads with a larger size, for example, No. 6, you will get a larger crocodile.Experiment with colors and sizes of beads; in any case, you will get a very original and unique souvenir with an interesting design.
