How to draw a butterfly net. DIY butterfly net. Do-it-yourself weaving of fabric for a net
When playing large fish To reduce the risk of failure and reduce the load on the rod, a special fishing net is needed, which fishermen call a landing net or landing net. They differ in shape, material, size. Some are suitable for predators, others for peaceful ones, folding ones are more compact, solid ones are stronger. Materials for a homemade net are publicly available.
Experienced fishermen sometimes refuse to buy a landing net. The color of the network, the unreliability of connections or the fragility of hoops - all this may not satisfy their needs. They make landing nets with their own hands.
Required materials
To make a homemade net you will need various materials, tools. Their list is given in the table.
How to make a net with your own hands: technology
For the sake of convenience, the presentation is divided into stages.
- We make a net for the net.
The simplest option is to take a ready-made mesh fabric and use a nylon thread to make a bag out of it.
Another option is to weave it yourself. To do this you need:
- select cell size;
- using a thread, ruler, butcher's broom, start weaving in a circle;
- When the desired height of the cylinder is reached, it needs to be narrowed. To do this, the number of loops is reduced;
- make the last knot tight;
- Finally, it is recommended to attach a small weight to the bottom so that the net sinks faster.
- Making the head for the net.
First you need to choose between wire and aluminum tube, and then choose the diameter. If the choice fell on a tube, then 30 mm is enough for an average size fish.
Then choose the shape and size. The triangular option is suitable for catching predators. For medium-sized fish, a triangle with sides of 50 cm is enough.
The peculiarity of making a folding net is that it is necessary to cut the finished part into two parts in order to make a movable fastening using rivets. There are detailed video instructions on YouTube.
- Making a handle for the net.
It’s easier to take a wooden rod, dry it, process it sandpaper, coat with varnish. Or use a fishing rod. Here you can even make a folding landing net handle if you use a composite or telescopic rod.
- Collecting elements.
The net is attached to the head of the landing net nylon thread. The head is also attached to the handle with nylon, after which the connection is strengthened with soft wire and electrical tape.
Fishing landing net: purpose and application
A landing net is used to remove fish from the water. This reduces the chances of a line breaking, a hook or rod breaking, or a missed catch.
It must be applied in the following order:
- bring the fish as close to the shore, boat or fisherman, if he is standing in the water, as the length allows. Only then use the landing net;
- lower the landing net into the water and wait for the net to submerge;
- Place the hoop of the landing net under the fish, pull it towards you and slightly upward. You should pull sharply so that the fish does not jump out.
Classifications and varieties
There are three components in a fishing net: the head, the handle and the net. Accordingly, they can be classified according to the geometry of the elements and the material from which they are made.
There are three main shapes for the head of a fish net: round, triangular, quadrangular (square or trapezoidal). They are most often made from light alloys.
It is believed that the triangular shape is more convenient when you need to place a landing net under the fish, but it is easier to lower a round head into the water, since there is less windage.
Another classification is based on the difference in mesh materials (made of fishing line, nylon thread or nylon) and the size of its cells. For example, due to large sinkers, bottom tackle is more likely to get tangled in coarse-mesh ones, while wobblers, spinners and other baits for predators are more likely to get tangled up in small-mesh ones.
Landing nets are classified according to the mesh material. Each has its own advantages. The fishing line is easy to wash, the mucus from the scales does not stick to it, but the pike easily cuts it with its teeth. Nylon and nylon are more gentle and less likely to injure fish, which is suitable for catch-and-release fishing.
The handle can be of different lengths. Therefore, there are two more classes: short (fishing from a boat or in the water) and long (fishing from the shore). How longer handle, the greater the risk of breakdown.
There are two types of nets: non-removable and folding.
Non-removable landing net
Such gear is more reliable and stronger, but is rarely used and, due to its length, is inconvenient for transportation. This also includes short landing nets, but they are not used so often: only when fishing from a boat or in the summer, while standing in the water.
Folding landing net
These devices can be telescopic or plug-in, made of carbon fiber or composite materials.
Telescopic fishing nets are adjustable different lengths and can be reinforced with threaded clamps. The plug version is more reliable and tougher.
Landing net for winter fishing
Exists special option landing net for winter fishing, which was invented in the USA. It differs in the shape of the head: it is elongated, curved in a semicircle. This is done so that the landing net can be inserted through the hole and catch the fish. In terms of convenience, it is much inferior to a gaff or hook.
The idea of this net was described in the epic eco-cartoon “Three from Prostokvashino”. Only there was a photo gun, as you remember.
This essentially “photo gun” is the innovative gadget E-catch Net, which allows a child (or an adult) to study butterflies without destroying them.
Long gone are the days when man - both the layman and the scientist - was a sadist in relation to Nature. If you re-read books from a hundred years ago (those same good and humane books!), then today you (far from being Greenpeaceites, at that!) will simply be amazed by the cruelty that the “kind” heroes of these books allow in relation to the fauna of the planet, not to mention the flora.
There are still a hundred years and two World Wars before the appearance of the E-catch Net butterfly net...
Previously, the following was the norm. To study an animal, bird or insect, it had to be captured and killed. And then, of course, preserve it in alcohol, stuff it, put it in a bookstore...
“The traveler and the gentleman” could admire the rare beautiful bird, seen by him in the sky and immediately run... for a gun to shoot (!) “this magnificent specimen” and donate it to the Scientific Royal Society - let them study it.
The same age when people surprised people with their cruelty, which they then considered the norm, also refers to an ancient children's game - a butterfly net.
Children and adults collected butterflies, collected bird nests along with the eggs of chicks that were never hatched.
Fathers gave their sons small blowguns so that they could shoot birds in the garden - filling their eyes and at the same time studying the ornithology of their native land, with interest and love. But what about “love”? Probably to the science of ornithology...
Times have passed, and the world has become distinctly more humane. At least today he declares his humanism, but before he didn’t even do that! Yes, actually, why does it “declares”? After all, the appearance of such eco-gadgets as E-catch Net suggests that the world (we are talking about the “world” of developed countries) is proving, not in words, but in deeds, its changed view of the world, its humanism.
Throughout the 20th century, experiencing tragedies and learning a lot about the world, both children and adults became less and less bloodthirsty, and it would never have occurred to anyone to give a child a net so that he could kill live butterflies with it, or to give a child a gun to shoot birds or letting your child make a slingshot for the same thing.
The net for catching butterflies went out of fashion and almost disappeared altogether as a wild anachronism of bygone times.
But here comes the eco-gadget E-catch Net
A butterfly net that does not catch butterflies E-catch Net was made by a whole team of Chinese designers. Let's list their names:
- Zhang Cheng,
- Tuo Jin,
- Lin-en Wang
- Xiaoneng Jin.
Now let's applaud them.
Externally, the net for “catching” butterflies looks the same as its archaic prototype, only there is no gauze mesh on the ring that is attached to the handle.
Instead, the E-catch Net is a luxurious, high-tech 3D scanner.
How to use a butterfly net with a 3D scanner E-catch Net?
You are still running through the meadow beautiful butterfly and raise your net over it. And you even cover it with a net.
But the net inside is empty, and it does not touch the butterfly.
You guide the butterfly through the empty ring of the net. She doesn't even notice anything unless you stomp around her like an elephant...
However, the 3D scanner, which is the ring, already manages to read all the information about the butterfly, right down to its name in Latin.
And the scanner will also set the date - when it was caught. And the location will be indicated if you enable geolocation.
From what you printed, you can, among other things, fold a very beautiful origami.
Of course, the butterfly net, aka the 3D scanner, has not yet gone on sale. This is the announcement of a design concept that is waiting in the wings to be put into mass production.
But this hour will come soon, because the E-catch Net 3D scanner net has already become a winner in one prestigious competition.
This competition is called IDEA Awards 2013.
And from there it’s just a stone’s throw to the counters of specialized online stores selling unique gadgets for tech geeks and gadget lovers.
3D printing of jewelry is the main trend in the jewelry industry. Startups are constantly appearing in this direction, and experienced companies are trying to quickly introduce new technologies into production.

Needs for modern world becomes more and more, but the number of hands does not increase. This selection includes several products and services that can be used hands-free.
A robot accompanying couriers is being tested in Germany. He helps German postmen transport mail and knows how to avoid street obstacles, but he cannot work independently yet.
In order to make a net, we will need:
A stick with a diameter of 10-15 mm.
Roll of steel wire
A piece of gauze cloth.
Here is a simple kit for making a net.
Making a net handle and a ring with fastening
Take a stick with a diameter of no more than 10-15 mm. The stick must be well processed so that both you and the child do not get a splinter in your hand. If the stick is jagged, sand it, you can coat it with varnish or drying oil.
Now we make a steel ring. Cut the wire with wire cutters. The length depends on the diameter of the ring and your preference.
Optimal length 0.7-1m. The wire should be no more than 3 mm. Now make an arc. To make it, just wrap it around a tree trunk. Nets can be the most different shapes: round, rectangular, square. But the most reliable shape of the net is a circle. This form is rigid and takes up maximum space with a minimum perimeter. In addition, the circle is also convenient because the fabric does not wear out as much as on rectangular shape. The presence of hard corners contributes to rapid wear of the fabric. But make the hoop taking into account the fact that there should be ends with hanging fabric measuring 10-15 cm.
From the remaining ends you should make two shoulders. One shoulder should be longer than the other. Bend them down perpendicular to the circumference of the shoulder. Bend the ends of these shoulders down. Bend the ends of the shoulders inside the structure. Do this very carefully, as they can seriously injure you and your child. With the correct layout, such a structure should lie in the same plane. Attaching to the handle The attachment of the handle should be very strong, since a stick that falls off will only interfere with your activities with your child. Therefore, make the fastening strong. To make such a fastening, you must drill two holes in the handle; the depth of the holes must be at least 1 cm. Only in this way will the handle be securely fastened. Such holes need to be drilled level with the shoulders. The ends of the arms are hammered into these holes. An indicator of reliability will be that the shoulders should fit snugly to the handle. Now you need to attach them. To do this, tie them with wire to the handle. Fasten tightly.
Making a bag for a net
Suitable for bag soft fabric, for example, gauze, it should be dense and durable. Make the bag so that it has as few corners as possible. This will be more convenient for you, otherwise insects will get into the corners. To secure the bag to the hoop, you need to buy a wide ribbon and sew it onto the hoop so that the wire remains inside; attach the bag itself to this ribbon.
The butterfly net is ready!
It’s easier to buy, better to make.

How many nets should an aquarist have them, what should they be and where to get them? It all depends on how “advanced” the amateur is in his hobby. If the owner of a home pond is limited to the role of observer, then one net; it will be in demand only in cases (hopefully rare) when it is necessary to remove a dead fish. The easiest way to buy such a hunting tool is at the first pet store you come across.
True, factory goods will not always satisfy the buyer appearance, ease of use and other ergonomic parameters. But in this case, this can be neglected, given that most of the time the net will gather dust in the far corner of the aquarium farm. Another thing is an aquarist-naturalist, a breeder. In everyday practice, he is often faced with the need to catch fish, for example for breeding, transportation, quarantine or treatment. Many people prefer to feed their pets plankton from the nearest pond. But you need to catch it with something, wash it in something and sort it... You can’t do it with just a net, and the requirements for products of this type are stricter. They should be as comfortable as possible, durable enough, and not injure fish and invertebrates. To make a fishing net bag, synthetic fabric should be used.
Often nets made from nylon stockings, but this is not best option. Its disadvantages are elasticity (the size of the cells changes under load) and low mechanical strength. The best fabric- the so-called mill gas, or “sieve cloth”. It has a unique marking from No. 7 to No. 76 (OST 17-46-71). The number means the number of holes per linear centimeter, that is, the larger the number, the smaller the holes. In mill gas No. 7 the holes have a size of 1.093x1.093 mm, and in No. 76 - 0.082x0.082 mm. Using this OST, you can, for example, armed with a magnifying glass, count the holes and determine the number of the unknown nylon fabric that came to you.
Selecting the appropriate fabric depends on the size of plankton required. The pattern looks like a more or less wide sector of a circle, the radius of which will be the length of the cone of the finished net (50-70 cm). The width of the sector depends on the circumference of the bow (ring) of the net, taking into account the addition to the connecting seam. If there is a shortage of fine gas, the top of the net can also be made from a larger one - in the form of a wide strip. Decide for yourself what will be decisive: the width of the available fabric or the convenient diameter of the net.
It is undesirable to leave a sharp corner at the bottom when stitching: it is inconvenient to work with.
In the literature on aquarium keeping, a net is always depicted, the top of which covers a bow (ring). However, practice shows that a more convenient option is when free loops (straps) from the same nylon (4-5 centimeters in diameter) are sewn to the top of the net at a distance of 5-6 centimeters from each other around the entire circumference (Fig. 1). The handle is easily threaded through these loops, and it is more comfortable to work with such a net. Besides similar option allows the use of a folding (detachable) bail, sometimes used for the convenience of transporting large nets.
Small nets are required for sorting plankton and for catching fish. The bags for them are made using a “cross-shaped” pattern, which is advantageous in that the result is a flat bottom. In such a net, the risk of damage to strained crustaceans or caught fish is minimal. From a pattern with right angles, a rectangular bag is obtained, and if the sides are trapezoidal, a pyramidal one is obtained. First make a “model” of a paper net to see if the proportions you choose will be comfortable. Of course, a net made from two halves of fabric, the pattern of which has a parabolic shape, is also quite suitable. It is also advisable to use nylon materials here - they last longer.
To catch fish you need a soft cloth with enough cells large size. Nylon tulle will do. If you have to catch fry with this net, be sure that the width of the cell is small enough to prevent the fry from getting its head stuck in it. It is unlikely that we will be able to get him alive. Prepare several nets for different purposes.
Sometimes authors talk about the color of the fabric. I have nets that are white, green, and black. The fish seem to be less wary of the color green. And the easiest way is for them to fall into a transparent trap. At one time, at the World of Aquarium exhibition, a 600-liter aquarium housed a rich collection of botia and acanthophthalmus. These tropical loaches, as you know, are not easy to catch even in a small aquarium. I once took plastic bottle cut off her throat at the widest part and inserted it into a “glass” reverse side I put a bunch of tubifex inside and lowered the device to the bottom. After about twenty minutes, the bottle was literally filled with fighters, and they were no longer smart enough to get out through the neck into freedom.
For the nets with which you will sort the harvested plankton, you must use the same mill gas of the appropriate number. For initial cleaning, the prey can be passed through a coarse sieve (even more convenient if it is made of metal threads) with a mesh size of 2x2 mm or even larger if you are catching large daphnia. Such a sieve will retain the inevitable debris, water beetles and bedbugs (smoothies, swimmers, combs, etc.), as well as the larvae of various insects (if there are large fish in the aquariums, the screenings can be fed to them).
By alternately passing plankton through fabric of different densities, you can sort the catch into batches of food suitable for pets of different ages. The smallest mesh net should only allow cyclops, diaptomus and daphnia nauplii to pass through. It is appropriate to note that even fabric No. 76 will not retain ciliates, since they are able to squeeze through smaller holes.
And now general recommendations on production.
Draw the pattern of the net on paper, cut it out, and then, placing the model on nylon fabric, outline it with a felt-tip pen.
Add seam allowance. Carefully cut the nylon pattern with a heated knife to melt the edges. The seams on the net for catching fish can be sewn manually or using an overlocker. sewing machine, and too synthetic thread(for example, thin fishing line). Nets for sorting plankton are a little more difficult to handle. There are no problems with coarse-mesh fabric, but it is better to glue the seams of the net to filter out the “dust” part of the plankton with a thin layer silicone sealant, since even the thinnest needle leaves holes through which valuable feed will leak. And the sealant holds the fabric perfectly and maintains elasticity. It is also convenient for them to patch holes that form during the operation of nets (and this is also suitable for the main fishing net).
To form an adhesive seam (or level a patch), cover it with PVC film (from packaging bags) and press lightly and leave in this position for 10-15 hours, subsequently the film will easily separate from the hardened sealant. Again, I suggest not wrapping the net fabric around the handle. Simply sew the edge of the fabric close to the bow, covering it with thread. It turns out very neat.
And finally, the last net, which I recommend having on the farm. It is only needed by those who breed small ones aquarium fish and is periodically forced to catch tiny fry (for example, for transplantation into another nursery). The nose of a non-elastic nylon stocking is sewn to a bow with a diameter of 6-7 centimeters. The sagging of the fabric should be no more than 1-1.5 cm, and it itself should not fold. This creates something like a soft spoon. The jumping ability of fish at this tender age is negligible and the transfer of fry in such a net does not involve injury.
If you don’t know how to make a net with your own hands, we offer brief instructions:
The next step in constructing a homemade net will be making a hoop.
I will need hard and elastic steel wire up to 1 meter long. It is best that its diameter is at least 3 mm. It is also important to maintain the classic circle shape for a hoop. Circle among all the others geometric shapes has the largest area with a minimum perimeter. In addition, the rigidity of a round net will be an order of magnitude higher than a square or triangular one. The easiest way to bend the wire is using a tree trunk. You just need to pick required diameter trunk
How to make:: butterfly net
Every child is delighted with catching butterflies with a net. Therefore, to please yourself and your child, try making a net yourself. After all, it’s so exciting and interesting: you can do something with your hands and spend time with your child. In addition, making a net with your own hands is quite easy and quick.

For self-made I was inspired to use the net by the children, whose store-bought nets either had short sticks or the diameter of the net itself was too small. So I decided to make my own net.
To make it I needed:
- bamboo stick (support for plants), - mesh (sold in fabric stores), - very thick and better almost unbending wire, - wire thin and flexible (not much is needed: 20-30cm), - thread and needle 
First, we make a circle out of thick wire, and connect it with 2 ends something like this: 
Next we cover this circle with mesh. I first hemmed it and then cut off the unnecessary fabric and gave it the necessary triangle shape. And I sewed 2 edges of the mesh to make a kind of cap. Next, I connected the edges of the wire and inserted them directly into the stick (there was the required hole in it). And she secured the structure with thin wire, wrapping the circle of the net to the stick. That’s basically all. The advantage of this net is that you can regulate the diameter of the net and the length of the stick yourself.
The dimensions of the finished net in my case were as follows:
The length of the stick is about 120 cm, the diameter of the circle is about 30 cm, and accordingly the length of the entire structure is about 1.5 m. Children are also great at catching cockchafers with this net. 
In conclusion, I’ll just add that if you don’t want to buy bamboo supports separately, find a suitable stick in the forest. It won't turn out any worse.

Summer has come, insects have appeared - beetles, butterflies, dragonflies. Does your child have a net? If not, then it’s easy to make a net yourself. Try making a butterfly net with your child.
Making a net with your own hands
To make your own net, prepare the necessary materials. You will need:
- a wooden or plastic stick for the handle of the net;
- wire 0.7-1m long;
- fabric for the bag.
First let's prepare wooden handle for the net. If you have a suitable stick (maybe left over from an old net) with a diameter of 1.5 cm, then measure the length of the handle. Be guided by your baby's height so that you can comfortably hold the net in your hands. If the stick is rough, it needs to be sanded thoroughly. You don't want splinters in children's fingers.
Now take a steel wire with a diameter of at least 3 mm. You need to make an arc from it for the net. You can make a circle, triangle, star or any other shape from the wire. However, the easiest to make is the round shape.
The hoop must be made taking into account the fact that there should be ends of the wire that will have to be secured to the handle of the net. Bend the wire into a circle, bend the ends perpendicular to the arc.
Remember, this entire structure must lie in one plane.
Attach a wire arc to the handle of the net. To do this, drill two holes in the handle. You will need to thread the ends of the wire into these holes. To prevent the wire circle from dangling, you can slightly deepen the ends of the wire into the wooden handle, having previously made recesses there.
To prevent your baby from getting hurt by the ends of the wire, wrap the joint with electrical tape or a fabric bandage.
All that remains is to make the bag. It is better to use a fine mesh for the bag (nylon filter fabric, tulle, organza or regular gauze are suitable). Cut the fabric bag into a triangle. You can attach the bag to the hoop of the net using a wide ribbon. Fold the ribbon in half lengthwise, put it on the hoop and sew it to the bag. Your net is ready!
A soft cloth, such as gauze, is suitable for this. It is better to sew the bag so that it contains minimum quantity corners This is necessary to prevent insects from getting into them. In order to attach the finished bag to the hoop, you need to take a ribbon from durable fabric about ten centimeters wide, fold it in half lengthwise and put it on the hoop. Sew the bag from the bottom to this ribbon. The net is ready!
Well, and finally, I want to offer you an interesting New Year’s video that can be very useful for you or your child!
In spring and summer it’s so great to spend the whole day on
