Instructions for a pearl crocodile?
Hello
My child wanted to make a beaded crocodile with me today… It's so fiddly, and I just couldn't seem to get it right…😩 I made my last crocodile about 16 years ago. Some of the instructions are really poorly written.
Has anyone of you already made a crocodile like this and can tell me exactly how it works? I don't understand how I'm supposed to make the back and belly at the same time when I only have two string ends. I would appreciate a simple, easy-to-follow guide.
Best regards

there is no just explained lead.
there is a book of the publisher topp.
you have to make it step for step exactly as it stands in there.
or you have to buy a finished perlenkrokodil somewhere, and then look closely for a series and work on it.
you don’t even do anything with children that you haven’t done yourself. that is the golden rule to make with children.
my first tip is to make the first pearls in no case from 2mm small glass beads or even nonpareilles. for the first pearls you can take super stirrup beads. does not shine so pretty and is not so filigree, but works great.
If you want to work with the small pearls, first you have to buy the right tool (lupe, bastelpinzette, bead needles etc.) and second you start with simple things like row bracelets, round-fed wrench pendants, and you can slowly scan by threading a ball when you move slowly from the 2D phase into 3D.
otherwise you will experience the frustration you describe here.
Hi.
I’ve done this before, it’s just half an eternity. My child last saw this somewhere that you can make something like that and wanted to do it. I’m trying to get my kid together. So I’m not a person who says, “oh God child my that I can’t do that” 😅🙈. I’m trying to calm this up in the evening, maybe I’ll get it.
A book I don’t have
