From paper

A very good craft, because it can be modified or exchanged for another, exactly the same. Develops a lot of qualities. You can do origami, etc.

From the beads.

The first thing to pick up beads large in size, namely the diameter, the color of the wire must match the color of beads, weaving occurs by technique "cross.

Why such requirements? The fact that the beads themselves are quite heavy for a wire, so you need to meet some criteria. Then we download the scheme from the Internet and start weaving.

The problem for many people in this case, is attention and assiduity.

After all, the sequence of actions is very precise, under each number. The point is that the shaded "beads" should not be with the shaded, it is not true, they must be opposite to each other, that is, shaded with unshaded.

Generally all in all, it will take you twenty-four hours, or maybe longer, all because there is a wire, not thread or fishing line. Weaving must be long and in full attention, because the wire can easily "break" or bend, all these defects will affect the future craftwork.

But there are cases where the wire is still broken, then you just need to build it up, or start with a shorter length, and then add and add.

The length of the machine will be about ten to eleven centimeters.

This is not only a good toy, but also a wonderful souvenir for adults, you can put it in the car and it will serve as a memory, as a friendly family made it.
