Today, I'll show you a step-by-step way of making a simple beaded dragon. I have a RUclips channel just for simple beading! Check it out!: / @simplebeadingwithliv
Love this video 😍🤩 I am an experienced bead animal maker, but I decided to watch a tutorial for this one :) Very good and explanatory, thank you so much, I am very grateful 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing tutorial! So easy to follow along and understand. Other ones are so hard to understand but this one was so good. Great job on this please do more of these they are so fun to learn from you. 👌💕
oh my goodness, thank you so much! you are so sweet.💗💗💗 I actually have several more tutorials on my second channel called Simple beading with Liv. that’s where I will post my beading tutorials from now on. :)
So beautiful, I'll buy the materials asap, cant wait to try it! But I have a question, can I use the fishing string you know that clear ones instead of yours? Thanks
yay! thank you so much :) hmmmm. you could try it. fishing line might be slipperier than the wire I have. And it won't be posable. but i think its definitely worth a try. you are so welcome! and good luck!
I actually have tons more tutorials on my beading youtube channel! I will reply to your comment on that account. :) I'm so glad you loved the tutorial!
of course! you could use string (like the plastic stuff) or you could use thicker wire (like armature wire) if you want to pose it. great question and awesome idea! (now I want to make a big dragon😂)
thanks so much for the great turotial!! im a very visual person and im usually able to figure out how to make these sorts of things with just pictures but i couldnt figure out how to do the wings with just the pictures so this video really helped! thanks again!
Man, my string is too floppy and not metal(ish) is yours. I can’t mold the dragon into the right position. Now my “dragon” just looks like a lizard who grew two mountains out of it’s belly. But it’s a good tut! If I had the right materials for this craft, I would have mastered it!
I would love to make this, but unfortunately a lot of things you’re doing are off camera and I can’t see what you’re doing and you don’t explain things as well so I can’t make this :/
you could try thread, (if you're using small beads like I did) although that might be hard to work with. if you're using bigger beads, you could use yarn. I hope that helps. I'll let you know if I think of anything else you could use!
for the main body of the dragon, you’ll need around 48 cm, and for the wings you’ll need two pieces of wire that are about 22 cm. thanks for your question!
I'm crazy and I've decided I want to make my own prom dress but I couldn't come up with a lot of ideas one idea is having a black dress with butterfly charms or dragon charms all over the bottom part and the top part just be a different solid color now I'm going to make a load of these to put on the bottom part of the dress cus they are kind derpy but so cute and it makes it cooler cus I'd be making the charms also finding good charm's online in big amount is hard so I'll just get the stuff to make this and go crazy I mean I never have anything to do so this will keep me busy tysm I'm actually really excited hehe I'm going too try to make some earings too :D
My wire just came in the mail and I'm almost done with my 1st one just gotta do the wings but if anyone wants to do a arrow tip tail just do 3 then 2 than 1 again at the end of 3 than 2 if u want a more ball tail if u want no hands do 5 and 1 but only loop it's through 4 then continue the same:)

@@Hotdog519_vIdEoS you’re so welcome!! thank you! enjoy!❤️
Omg thank you soooo much your tut was so helpful!!!!!! I tried watching someone else do it but it was so confusing you really explained it well!!
do you think these could be made with pony beads instead of seed beads to make a big one?
of course!
you could use string (like the plastic stuff) or you could use thicker wire (like armature wire) if you want to pose it.
great question and awesome idea! (now I want to make a big dragon😂)
Yup. Any size works if u have the right string/wire
thanks so much for the great turotial!! im a very visual person and im usually able to figure out how to make these sorts of things with just pictures but i couldnt figure out how to do the wings with just the pictures so this video really helped! thanks again!

I made this with Kandi beads and it came out amazing thanks for the tutorial!

haha, sorry about that! thanks for your sweet words though!!
(also, i buy my wire on firemountaingems.com, just in case you want to get some😉)
It's so cute!!! I made one but with bigger beads uwu
Thanks for the video
yay! you're so welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to make this, but unfortunately a lot of things you’re doing are off camera and I can’t see what you’re doing and you don’t explain things as well so I can’t make this :/
😂👍🏻
Thank you so much for this cute tutorial, my country is in lockdown again so I’m making a ton for my boyfriend
you’re welcome! I’m so glad you like them. hope you get out of lockdowns soon! lol
I tire to use crystal string and it didn’t work any tips if I can’t get wire?
you could try thread, (if you're using small beads like I did) although that might be hard to work with. if you're using bigger beads, you could use yarn.
I hope that helps. I'll let you know if I think of anything else you could use!
Can these be made with big beads as well?
absolutely!
This is amazing!
thanks! you seem familiar....
yes indeed... *cough* hi*cough cough* fellow elf *cough* 😂
@@bandgnome47
*cough* yes *cough cough* elf....*cough* twin *ahemmmm*😂
*cough* yes *cough* hello!!!
@@bandgnome47 🤣
Thank you so much. I made an ice frost dragon for myself lol.
is there a pattern that doesn't include it being two pieces?
sadly not. I’m sorry.
doing it in separate pieces is a bit of a hassle-
What kind of beads are they u used
size 8, red opaque. I purchased them at a local bead store, but you can probably find something similar to them online.
Can elastic work?
yes!! sorry late reply!
just knot the elastic in order to tie it off!
@@OliviaandFriends thank u
do you still reply? how much wire in cm?
for the main body of the dragon, you’ll need around 48 cm, and for the wings you’ll need two pieces of wire that are about 22 cm.
thanks for your question!
Can I make this with pony beads?
yup! you just need thicker wire :) (or you could use some kind of string)
what kind of wire do you use and where do you get it?
I use 28 gauge black copper wire. I order my wire on firemountaingems.com (the brand Parawire is the best)
Has anyone tried it with regular string and pony beads?
personally, I haven’t, but I’ve gotten comments asking if it could be done, and I think it definitely can. :)
@@OliviaandFriends thank you!!
I'm going to try it
Mine looked like a deformed lizard lmao, but really this was a great tutorial
haha. thank you!
@@OliviaandFriends Whoops it autocorrected to blizzard haha
@@scarletthunt2185
