when you're making a leg: hold the leg as near as you can to the body when you pull it tightly.
Simple straight leg
This is the most simple technique to make legs.
String the leg beads on one side of the wire.Loop back with the same wire through the leg leaving out the last bead. Try to avoid kinks on the wire.Hold the leg to the body as near as you can. Pull it very tightly. Do the same on the other side.
Leg with foot
It is also a very simple type of leg.
String the beads on either wire. For the foot use a different colour. Loop back with the same wire through the leg leaving out the foot.Pull it very tightly. If the wire begins to kink put it straight. Now, do exactly the same on the other side.
Leg with foot and toes
This type of leg is a bit more complicated than the others. However, after you've understood and made it, it'll be just a routine job.
String the leg beads (usually 3) and the beads of one toe on either side of the wire. Loop back through the remaining of the toe beads leaving out the last bead. Hold the toe near to the leg and pull it tightly.Now, you've finished the first toe. String the beads of the second toe on the same wire. Loop back through the toe beads leaving out the first bead as before.Hold the toe near to the leg and pull it tightly. Do exactly the same with all toes. When you've made all of the toes, loop back through the whole leg.Pull it tightly. Do exactly the same on the other side.
