Beaded chrysanthemums, along with many othersflowers and trees that can be made using various weaving techniques are a great pastime for each of us. Beading was known back in Ancient Egypt, that is, its history goes back many centuries. This handicraft came to Russia in the Middle Ages, and began with the use of mother-of-pearl and freshwater pearls. These natural materials were used to make clothes and household items beautiful. Beads, as such, were invented later, and beadwork became not a simple handicraft, but a real decorative and applied art.
Beads are used for weaving variousjewelry such as bracelets, necklaces and earrings. But besides this, beads can be used to create incredibly beautiful interior decorations. Using our master class, weaving patterns, photo and video materials, you can make a lot of things with your own hands that you can’t buy in a store. What can be made using bead weaving?
Master class on creating chrysanthemums from beads
Today we will talk about howweave chrysanthemums from beads. It is necessary to consider a master class that will allow us to understand this. To make a chrysanthemum from beads, we must prepare:
Petals
We take one meter of thin wire and string it onher is our white beads. We won’t count the quantity; we’ll pick up a long thread without reaching the end. Leave some wire free. Stepping back approximately 5 cm from the edge, move 10 cm of beads adjacent to this free area. Fold the wire with the displaced beads in half and make two full turns, forming the first loop. After that, in exactly the same way on this wire we make a second loop of the same type, and then a third. We got three leaves located on the same wire. We need to make 4 of these triple petals. After this, you need to make five smaller triple petals, as in the photo. For a small petal we will collect not 10 cm, but 6 cm of beads.

Leaflets
Having finished weaving the petals for the chrysanthemum,Let's start making leaves. To do this, we will use a technique called “French weaving with arcs.” For leaves, you can use a wire that is stiffer than for petals. It is desirable that it be green steel wire. We string green beads onto a long wire, about 1 meter. We use the bead-free edge to create a loop. Fold approximately 20 cm of wire in half, forming a loop. We move 5 cm of green beads into this loop and twist the loop two turns so that it does not fall out. Now we distribute the beads evenly on both sides of our wire in the loop.
We also twist the second side of the beadswire. We make it larger than the first by three or four turns. We move a little bead close to the loop so that it is enough to make an arc along the edge of this loop. This arc must also be fixed by screwing it just one turn. On the other side of the leaf we make another arc in parallel, also fixing it. The result was four rows of beads. But that's not all, because one leaf requires 11 such arcs (rows). We bend the end of the wire that was needed for screwing the arches and hide it in a piece of paper. You can see very well in the video exactly how weaving with arcs looks like. The leaf is finished, but we need three of these leaves in total.

Flower assembly
We continue our master class on makingbeaded chrysanthemums. Now you need to collect a chrysanthemum flower from pre-prepared petals. We begin this work by connecting together five smaller triple petals. We do this by twisting wires. We apply all our triple leaves to each other, press them lightly, and scroll all five wires together. The next stage is to attach larger leaves to our bud, all four in turn. We attach them in the same way. When all the triple petals are joined together, you need to make sepals for the chrysanthemum flower.
To make sepals on green wireLet's collect green beads. Stepping back 3 cm from the end, twist a loop of 10 beads. Then we make four more such loops. All loops must be made on the same line. The result is a sepal of five small petals, or loops.

Our beaded chrysanthemum is almost ready.All we have to do is put together all its individual parts. We take our chrysanthemum and push a thick wire 2-3 cm inside the flower. This is done so that our flower stands steadily and does not bend.
The next operation is to connect the flower withsepal. This is done by the already familiar method of screwing a wire to the trunk of a chrysanthemum. After this, we decorate our trunk with floral ribbon. At the base of the flower we make a large number of turns with this tape in order to better disguise the base. Gradually moving the tape down the stem, we connect each chrysanthemum leaf to it in turn. We decorate the stem with floral tape to the very bottom. When finishing work on our flower, we straighten all the petals, bending them slightly.

Our master class is ending. You can put a magnificent beaded chrysanthemum in a vase and enjoy its beauty, or you can give it to friends or relatives.
Among the large number of items thatcan decorate your home, a prominent place belongs to various plants, an endless number of flowers, exotic and decorative beaded trees. Using various patterns, photos and video materials, you can make roses and tulips, lilacs and gladioli, cornflowers and lilies of the valley, as well as any other plants and flowers without restrictions.
