Our napkin consists of seven identical star-shaped parts, each of which we make separately.

Airplane

Today we will make a beaded airplane - a product that looks complicated but in fact is quite simple, as it consists of various parts, each of which is done with an easy weaving technique that we’ve already used earlier.
We will need:
- seed beads #8; I used seed beads of seven colors: green, blue, light-blue, red, brown, grey and yellow;
- wire 0.3 mm in diameter (it is desirable the wire to be reasonably rigid, in this case the wings would be better keeping the shape);
- thin fishing line and a needle for cross-linking of finished object.

Bullfinch

To make this little beaded animal we need:
