To weave a lariat from beads will help a master class for beginners. The mosaic version is ideal for beginners. The first trials it is better to carry out only one color, and then already weave multicolor work.

Using a needle

An uncomplicated way of weaving lariat is carried out with a needle. A detailed master class will allow even a dummy to cope.

1. The thread of the required length is cut, inserted into the needle, the end is fixed with a knot.
2. Start weaving, adhering to the scheme.
3. The result will be a braid of seven beads. The original version can be five.
4. Weave according to the pattern to the desired length. 80 cm. - Just right.
5. Put on the ends.
6. The decoration of the product - the tassels on the end. Make a chain, connecting the rings, the diameter of which is 6 mm. On the pins put beads of a similar shade of lariat or the opposite. On any of the rings should be a pair of beads. The tassel looks like a bunch of grapes.

Before you begin, you should familiarize yourself with the scheme.

Using a hook.

Lariat can also be created by crochet. For products with a pattern, schemes are also used. For a monochrome harness, they are not needed. It is better to start with this option. For harnesses more than 12 beads in a circle, you will need a tube to fill to maintain the shape. It is called a regiline.

1. On the thread thread beads are threaded in the required amount, using a needle.
2. Make one air loop without beads. The others should already be with them.
3. Close the chain in a ring by joining the first and last buttonhole.
4. Insert the tool into the first loop right in the middle, pull back the bead, grab the thread, and knit a semi-colon.
5. Proceed in the same way further, reaching the required length.
6. The tourniquet is finished with two rows without beads.

The beginning of the tourniquet will be loose, but this is the norm. When the tourniquet reaches 1-2 cm, it will be denser. It is necessary to follow the bead packing, it should lie horizontally.

How to decorate the ends?

• putting on the tips;
• A lock (to be worn as a necklace).
• Carabiner (the second version of the clasp).

How to put on the tips?

• Take a pin with a loop, unbend it with a special tool, insert it into one of the loops, grasping a parallel one.
• The glue "Moment-Crystal" smeared on the inside of the cap, put it on by passing the pin through the hole in the tip. Press down briefly to allow the glue to set.
• Using round pliers make a loop on the pin.
• Repeat the same with the second end.

Now you can make tassels, connecting them to the loops or finish the product with a latch.

All fittings should match the color of the made product.
