Before winding the splayed beads, you need to prepare some tools and materials, such as beads, thread, scissors, pliers and so on. It is very important to choose the right thread, because some threads are too tough to be wound on beads, while others are easy to wear or break. In addition, the size and shape of beads will also affect the difficulty and effect of winding splayed beads.
Next, let's take a look at the specific steps of eight-character beads:
1. Pass the metal wire through the bead and leave a suitable length.
2. Fold the wire into a figure of eight and put the beads in the middle.
3. Hold the middle part of the figure of eight with the left hand, and the line of the right hand passes under the figure of eight.
4. Wrap the line from the left side to the right side of the figure 8, being careful not to pull it too tightly and keep it properly tight.
5. Wrap the thread from the bottom to the top of the figure 8, and don't pull it too tightly.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the required density and effect are achieved.
7. Finally, tighten the thread with pliers and cut off the excess thread.
In the process of winding splayed beads, we should pay attention to the following points:
1. Keep proper wire tightness to avoid being too tight or too loose.
2. When using pliers to tighten the wire end, don't pull it too tightly, so as not to damage the beads or wires.
3. During the winding process, both hands should be coordinated to avoid confusion.
4. Before you start, you can practice the skills of eight-character winding on the cardboard, and then start making works after you are familiar with it.
