Weaving colors from beads

Today we will conduct lessons with step by stepA description of how to make flowers from beads with your own hands. Our training will be very useful not only for beginners, but also for those who already have some experience. It is difficult to list all the varieties of flowers on our planet, so I want to describe each of them and tell how to weave such a flower. But, alas, this is impossible. And today we try to dwell on some colors, more exotic and rare. Any flowers from beads looks very original and attractive, so there is not much difference which one to describe.
Our first master class will be dedicated to weavingsuch an exotic flower as double violet. If you look at this flower, or at the photo or video in which it is captured, then pay attention to its magnificence and sophistication. So, we will start our first lesson:

Master class on weaving of double violets from beads

For work it is necessary to prepare the following materials and tools:

The beads are pink, green and white;

The beads are white;

Wire 0,3 mm (for colors);

Wire 0,4 mm (for leaves);

Wire 1 mm (for the trunk);

Threads of beige moulin;

Scissors;

Tweezers for cutting wire.

Getting started with the fact that we take the delay andWe string on it pink beads. Departing from the edge of the wire 10 cm, add this piece in half, forming a loop. We move in this loop 20 beads and we twist three turns. Distribute our beads in equal quantities on both sides of the loop, and twist it on the other side. We got two rows of ten beads each. We continue to weave our flower from beads, adding exactly one turn, and fixing this series with twisting. Then, in the same way, add two more rows, and finish our petal. There should be 7 rows in this petal. Such petals need to make 25 pieces, five for each flower.
And now we continue to work on these petals.We put white beads on the wire and screw its end to the base of the pink petal. We draw one strand of beads, securing it with twists on both sides of the petal. Our pink petal with a white edge is completely ready. We do the same work for all pink petals.

We wrap the piece of wire that remains on one side of the petal on the wrong side and press it tightly to the petal, masking it.
We continue to weave a flower from beads, formingleaves of our terry violet. We use the same principle as when making petals. We put green beads on the wire, move twenty beads, forming a loop, and make a leaf of 13 rows. The only difference is the number of rows. You need 9 such leaves.

The next step is toWe string 10 cm long wire with three white beads that we prepared in advance and make a simple twist. So, all the elements for our flower are ready. And now you need to connect all the parts together to make a real flower made of beads. We need to take our large diameter wire that we prepared for the trunk and attach these three beads to its base. Screw it in so as to cover the base of the trunk. Then we apply five pink petals, connecting them with beige floss threads. Now our flower is completely ready. We make four more of these flowers, screwing them to a common stem.
When all the flowers and leaves are ready, we need to takea pot where we will plant our magnificent beaded flower. We make a solution of gypsum with water, pour it into our pot, and put a stem with flowers there. We simply stick the violet leaves around our stem. You can supplement our information by viewing photos and video materials.

Master class on the creation of orchids from beads

The next master class will be devoted to the story ofHow to weave such exotic flowers as an orchid. We determined in advance that our lessons will tell you about exotic flowers. For our latitudes, orchids are just such unusual colors. Such a flower of beads is as unordinary as the living orchid in nature. Now determine the necessary stock of materials. We will need:

Beads pink;

Crimson;

Green;

White;

Blue;

Wire 0.3 mm;

Beige floss threads;

Thick diameter wire for the barrel.

We continue our lessons with a step-by-step descriptionTechniques for performing orchids. On a wire thickness of 0.3 mm, we collect beads in large quantities. You can not count it, and dial along the length of the wire about fifty centimeters. Then back off from the free edge of 15 cm and bend it, forming a loop. In this loop, move 20 beads from our thread of beads. We will distribute it evenly on both sides of the loop and make a twist on the side of the thread of the beads, and also from the side of the loop, where the bottom of our leaf will be located. That is, from the upper and lower sides we have free pieces of wire, where we will make the fastening of our attached circles of beads.

Now we begin to type in a circular motionbeads. We make a semicircle and fasten it by one turn, then a second semicircle and fasten it again by one turn. We bring the size of the leaf to 7 rows (we count a double row of loops as one). We fasten our wire to the bottom side of the leaf, and bend the top wire inward and hide it. The orchid leaf is ready. In total you need to make 10 such leaves. We continue to make a flower from beads with our own hands with a step-by-step explanation of all actions and operations.
And now we need to weave according to the same principlefour petals made of pink beads. The only difference is that these petals should make 10 rows, that is, they will be slightly larger. Then we must weave 4 raspberry petals. These petals will have 6 rows of beads. After making all the petals, we make four stamens. Two of them will be white, two blue. We make the stamens in the form of loops of blue and white beads, each of which consists of 10 beads.
After completing work on individual partsflower, we begin the procedure of connecting them together. Take four pink and four raspberry petals. We make the top row from raspberry petals. We will place the pink petals at the bottom, and stick the stamens in the very center. We connect the flower using beige floss threads. For one orchid branch you can make three, five or seven flowers, according to your desire. Everyone knows that orchids grow several on one branch. Therefore, the beaded flower, which we make in the image and likeness of living orchids, will also be made from a trunk on which flowers and leaves are located.

Our master class offers you not only lessonsbeadwork for beginners, but also the technique of assembling various parts into one whole, as well as the design of the work. This is a very important point. Therefore, we will give it due attention.

We take a large diameter wire, whichprepared for the trunk of our orchid, and slightly bend it at the base. Now you need to strengthen the first orchid flower at this base, screwing it tightly with threads. We screw a leaf nearby and a second flower a little lower. You need to screw the flowers very tightly. Alternating flowers and leaves in a checkerboard pattern, we gradually move down the stem. Beige floss threads give our orchid the appearance of a real living flower.
To make our beaded flower look natural, we screw some of the green leaves at the bottom.

can be made in a different color scheme, it all depends on your taste and desire. We plant our orchid in a pot and secure it with a mixture of plaster and water.

Our last master class will be dedicated to such a rare and delicate flower as the lily of the valley.

Lily of the valley bead by own hands

This is a very beautiful decoration for the house. The most important thing is that
very similar to lily of the valley in nature. It is very important that weaving such flowers is not very difficult. This is a simple and quick process, but the result will please you. For work we will prepare:

Green beads;

White;

Pearl white beads;

Large green beads;

Green wire 0.4 mm;

Wire cutting pliers;

The wire is green and white.

We take a wire 10 cm long and thread itWhite beads in the number of 4 pieces. Wire bend, forming a small ring of 4 white beads. Then string a large white bead and place it on the white beads. Then on the same wire we dress 4 large green beads. We got one flower of a lily of the valley on a leg. Such flowers must be made 9 pieces to fill the twig of the lily of the valley entirely. After that, all the flowers of the lily-of-the-valley should be gathered in one branch of the inflorescence. To do this, we take a wire with a length of 1 mm and a length of 20 cm. For the flower that is attached to the top, we add two more green beads.

We push into these added beadswire the base, and continue to attach the remaining flowers using the twisting method. We strengthen the attachment of flowers to the stem with threads. Moving down, we attach all 9 colors one by one. The lily of the valley inflorescence is ready, and now let's start creating the leaf. Since the lily of the valley leaf is very large, we will need green wire and 1 meter long beads strung on it. We make a loop from a piece of wire 80 cm long and move 20 cm of beads into it. We twist at the bottom and top of the loop.
After this, by moving the beads to the firstrows of loops, make circular movements and add one arc of beads after another, securing them by twisting the upper and lower parts. Using this technique, you need to collect ten rows of beads and secure the ends of the wires. Now let’s slightly bend our sheet, trying to give it a natural look. After this, we attach our inflorescence to the leaf, and fasten them together with floss threads. In order to put lilies of the valley in a vase, it is advisable to make three such flowers with leaves, then the impression will be complete.
We are finishing our lesson on weaving flowers frombeads, and we advise you to consolidate your knowledge with the help of various photos and video materials. Use the knowledge you've gained to decorate your home, or create great gifts for your family and friends.
