Living flowers wither, and this is their maindisadvantage. But, you really want beautiful bright flowers to please you every day. For this, it is not necessary to buy fresh flowers, you can make a bouquet of beautiful flowers with your own hands. Such a wonderful activity as beading can help with this. For this, we present a master class with photos and video materials, in which you will learn how to weave gerberas from beads. Watch and do!

Necessary materials

To do the work we need some materials:

Wire, approximate diameter of 0.3 mm;

For aesthetic appearance of the stem of the finished flower, green threads will be needed;

Beads of three different colors, I took green, orange and yellow colors. You can take any other colors that you like.

Plait the middle of gerbera from beads

The middle is padded with the help of circular technology,If you do not know how to do it, check out our master class with photo examples. We will have to change this technique, in order to get the "fringe" effect around the middle of our flower.

We take our wire (length 1.2 m), make 2rows of green beads, using the circular technique, in each row two beads, so we will make the middle of the circle. We place the finished rows in the middle of the wire (if you are not familiar with the circular weaving technique, pay attention to the photo diagram).
Then we weave the remaining circles, consisting oftwo halves. This should be done around two finished circles. To ensure that all segments are flush with the previous segments, select the number of beads as you work, there can be no exact number here. It turned out that for the halves of the 1st circle, 6 beads were collected, and for the 2nd circle - 10.

To form a "fringe" around the coregerberas, in the following circles between the beads you need to make needles. To do this, first string one green bead on the end of the wire, then two yellow ones. Holding the last yellow bead, pass the end of the wire through another yellow bead in the opposite order.

We move the beads we put on close to the core of the flower and tighten our wire well. This is how we get the first yellow "needle".

Also make more needles on the same end.wire, with green beads in the middle. We make as many as we need for half a circle. Then we pass the wire from the other end through the green beads. Tighten the wire well - we get half a circle, as in the photo.

We make an identical half circle with needles fromyellow beads, in the same place where the first half of the flower core was made. Afterwards, we pass the opposite end of the wire through all the green beads and secure it well. As a result, we should complete the third circle of beads.

To prevent the finished needles from causing us any inconvenience, bend them vertically to the core of green beads as in the photo.

We continue to weave the remaining circles in the same way.We weave the third, fourth circle, with needles from yellow beads between green ones. We will make halves of the circle on the longest end of the wire, so the ends will be used equally.
After completing the halves in the fourth circle, fold them up again, vertically to the center of the flower.
Bend the remaining ends of the wire down and twist them in the center of the flower core. We have woven the core of the gerbera from beads.

Now let's put aside the finished middle of our future gerbera, and we will weave the gerbera petals.

Making petals

For Gerbera petals we take a wire of 80 lengthsSee It is better not to take a shorter length, because from its remains we will form the stalk of gerbera. If the wire is shorter, then the stem will turn out to be short, respectively. To make Gerbera petals we will use the technique of parallel weaving. If you are not familiar with the technique of parallel weaving, you can view the video lessons on our website. A sample of the circuit can be seen below (Figure 1):

Scheme 1 We have a slightly different number of beads, but the principle is the same:

In the first row we put on two beads;
In the second row - three;
The third row is four;
The fourth, the fifth row - five beads each;
From the sixth to the ninth row - six;
From the tenth to the eleventh - five;
The twelfth row - four beads;
The thirteenth and fourteenth series - three.

As a result, we should get petals like those in the photo.

After finishing weaving the petals, twist the two ends of the wire together for practicality in the middle under each of them.
For the gerbera, you need to weave 24 petals from beads. We will have two circles of twelve petals.

The process of assembling a flower

We need 60 cm of wire, it should beLet in through each bead in the bottom row in the main circle of the petals. In the middle of our wire, carefully place the petals. We collect all the petals in a dense circle and form an additional wire. The link that remains is left free.

In this way we should get two circles of petals, each separate circle with twelve petals.
Insert the middle of the flower into the center of one circle of petals.

Then move the middle of the flower close to the petals and twist all the ends of the wire under them.
Bottom view:

We insert the base of the gerbera into the center of the second circle of petals.

Place the flower on the table, at the top of our future leg. Straighten all the ends of the wire that come from the petals from the second circle.
String seven green beads onto the paired ends of the wire that come from the second circle of each petal. String the same number of beads onto the wire that the petals are assembled on.

Move the beads that you have strung tightly towardsready petals, also move the second circle of petals well to the first. Then gather all the ends of the wire into one and twist them at the bottom of the flower into one stem.

To position the petals correctly, twist the bottom circle of petals so that they are between the top circle of petals.

The final stage is creating an aesthetic appearancestem. To do this, wrap the stem with green thread from the very top to the bottom. To prevent the threads from unraveling later, tie them into several knots at the end. If necessary, trim the flower stem with wire at the end.

So we made a gerbera from beads.

For the beautiful
you can make flowers of different colors, you should get a beautiful composition. Beading is a simple and beautiful way to create something beautiful, we hope that our master class helped you. Good luck!
