In this master class we will make gerbera flowers from beads, or rather one flower. For its weaving we will need the following materials:

Peach colored beads - 40 grams
Light pink beads - 10-15 grams
Beads orange matte - 5 grams
Beads (brown or black) - 5 grams
Salad-colored beads - 10 grams
Round mesh with a diameter of 3 centimeters
Floral ribbon of salad color
A rod made of thick wire 25-30 cm in length
Thin line
Wire
Needle for beadwork

Steps to follow!We start weaving the gerbera from the middle: First of all, you need to find the middle (center) in the net. You need to take the darkest beads - brown or black. We embroider a circle with beads on the net with a diameter of about 1 centimeter, passing the needle through each hole in the net, hooking a bead on the front side.Then you need to pass the needle through the sewnbead of the outer row to the front side. Next, take one bead and also pass the needle through the adjacent sewn-on bead (also in the outer row). In the same way, it is necessary to connect all the adjacent beads together in a circle. The beads collected will form the second tier of the gerbera's center. Around the middle in one row, for eachThe mesh holes need to be filled with needle beads, three brown (black) beads and one orange one. The next row of the gerbera core is put on the previous one. It is necessary to pass two brown (black) beads through the needle (the needle comes out through them to the front side), then we put two orange beads and seven peach beads on the needle. We pass the needle to the back side through the same hole next to the column with brown (black) beads.In the next row you need to pass the needle throughthe nearest empty hole on the mesh to the front side and pick up five orange beads and five peach beads. Pass the needle through the first three orange beads and return the needle to the back side. In a similar way, make only one row around the circumference. The center of the gerbera flower is ready. Next we weave the petals and sepals of the gerbera frombeads Gerbera flower leaves are woven using the French technique (arcs). Petal (small): String 10 peach-colored beads (or close to it in tone) onto the axis, you need to make two arcs on each side. The petal is pointed at both ends, the required number of such petals is 24.Gerbera petal (large):You need to string 20 beads of the main color on the axis and make one arc of the main color on each side. For the second arc, string beads of the main color on 2/3 of the arc, and white or lighter on the rest. The reverse side of the petal must be done similarly. Only white beads should be stringed on the third arc. The petal will be pointed at both ends; you need to make 24 such petals.Make 7 from salad-colored beadspointed petals, 7 beads per axis. Assembling a gerbera Assembling a gerbera flower from beads begins with attaching the first row of small petals to the mesh. You need to push two small petals through the free holes closest to the middle of the mesh and twist them together. Insert 10 more small petals around the circumference and twist them in pairs. The first row should consist of only 12 small petals. Insert the remaining small petals (12 pieces) around the larger circumference and also twist them in pairs (this is the second row). The petals of the second row of the flower should be between the petals of the first row. Next, insert into the holes around the circumference of the mesh12 large petals and twist them in pairs (first row). Insert the remaining large petals along the outer circle and twist them in pairs (second row). The large petals of the second row should also be between the large petals of the first row.Screw a rod of thick wire toflower with thin wire for several turns. Screw the sepals with the back side to the flower. In order for everything to hold securely, screw the wire 1 centimeter down the stem. The wound spiral of wire should be even so that it does not interfere with wrapping the flower with tape later. Carefully wrap the stem with green floral tape. Gerbera, woven with your own hands from beads is ready! It looks almost like a living one! The work on the gerbera is long and painstaking, but it is worth it!
