1) Cut about 60 cm of medium core wire.
2) Bend wire in half
3) Thread 8 – 10 medium size beads on to the double wire and draw down towards base. As you push the beads down the tail will form. Do not go right to the end but leave some for the dragonfly tail.
4) Thread 13 – 21 (depending on size) on to one arm of the wire. If you are using seed beads you will need about 21.
5) Turn wire with beads on around into a circle and twist around the main post.
6) Repeat step 4 and 5 on the other piece of wire forming the second smaller wing.
7) Thread 22 – 38 (depending on size) on to one arm of the wire. If you are using seed beads you will need about 38.
8) Turn wire with beads on around into a circle and twist around the main post to form the first larger wing
9) Repeat step 7 and 8 on the other piece of wire forming the second larger wing.
10) Thread 2 – 3 more of the main body beads onto the double wire forming the dragonfly head.
11) Attach a bright bead at the end of the wire on both side to finish the dragonfly
You can then either attach to some fishing line to make a mobile or onto a lanyard and hand in the car.
