At one time, these beaded decorations were very much appreciated and were not only bought, but also wonderfully made with your own hands. Today, you can remember the old traditions and create your own gerdans and boldly take up the weaving of this wonderful feminine attribute. And this master class will be happy to help with this, and will also describe everything in detail.






Herdan beaded pattern in the form of butterflies


What you need to make a gerdan:

  • beads black, white, green, yellow, blue, red, blue colors;
  • Bugles turquoise tones;
  • string for beads and fishing line;
  • needle;
  • machine.

The first thing you should do in this lesson is toweaving crafts, cut a white thread into 28 parts (in this situation, the base threads are cut separately, without winding from the spool, as, for example, when tightening beads with nails on a loom). Now you need to combine them into a bundle, pull them on the second edge of the beading loom, push all the threads into a suitable hole on one side of the support and tighten them on the opposite side, tighten them and secure them, as shown in the diagram. You can start making the first line. To do this, you need to tie the main line at a distance of 12 cm from the inner ruler. Next, you can weave a medallion from beads according to the pattern (Fig. 15 a). Then you need to thread two threads through the outer line of the medallion, and also tighten them into the fishing line accessories of the support for gerdans (Fig. 16).

Our master class will now help you understandthe next stage of the mastery of decoration. Now you need to lay out all the threads of the base into two sections of beads of 16 pieces, string on each two threads 9 pieces of glass beads, alternating with beads: the gerdan should be started and also finished with beads (there should be 10 of them on any pair of fishing line). Next, you need to tighten the threads and start weaving a beaded patch on each bunch of threads, as described in the diagrams (Fig. 15 b). From all sides, you need to connect 4 threads in pairs and count 2 fishing lines as 1.
Once the work with bead ornaments is finishedfinished, all the threads can be divided into 12 types - 6 above each decoration. On each category of threads you need to put on 9 glass beads, replacing black beads (starting and ending with beads according to the previous step). You should finish the gerdan by weaving with two pieces of woven ribbon of the desired length (somewhere around 60 rows - Fig. 17), which at the end of weaving must be removed from the machine and carefully swept. The edges must be well trimmed.

Let's decorate our gerdan.Now the bottom line of the medallion should be decorated with a braid. To do this, thread a needle, string a few different beads, as well as bugle beads for the fringe. Pass the thread up several lines of the gerdan along the length of the base and pull it together next to the weaving thread. Then you can pass the fishing line through the beads and tie it again, cut off the ends. The beaded handicraft of gerdans is finally finished. Now all that remains is to choose an appropriate outfit for them.

Herdan beaded hand-weaving

The master class is given a nice littledecoration technique "hand weaving with beads," which will be a joy for everybody young lovers who love tinkering of beads. The adults, in turn, will gain many favorable impressions of the work itself weaving.

Necessary materials:

  • beads of green, black, white and shades of brown;
  • many threads of nylon;
  • needle for beads;
  • scissors.

Herdan start with the base weave - it will be an extensive picture of a dog figure. The scheme follows the pattern:

The scale will be 40 beads.You need to string 40 coffee-colored beads on a thread, then start making the second line, then, already weaving 1 bead at a time, as described in the diagrams, cross it with the beads from the previous row. The second line is already made up of beads in such a group: 39 green beads and 1 brown bead. The shades of the gerdan can vary, and each craftsman can choose exactly the color that he likes. The master class advises to stick to only those tones that match each other.




At this stage, the following image appears:

For those who have already tried weaving using this techniquehand weaving, there will be no difficulties in learning the pattern to weave a gerdan. Well, for those who are just beginners in this simple work - it is better to practice on plain canvases, as well as simple patterned ribbons for weaving and weave the first gerdan.
When the main picture is done,it is necessary to attach beads to the bottom. Then we weave a gerdan from beads in two lines, which will then be united by the lower part of the beads with the main canvas. Our gerdan contains funny traces of dog paws to depict the general idea. Subsequently, the stripes will be combined with the canvas, and now you can make two squares from beads according to the skill of handicrafts and merge them with ribbons of strings of beads, as the scheme shows. You can attach a shiny ribbon to the edges of the squares, and you can also combine rectangles with an oblong bottom of beads or another embroidered bead line.





Now the wonderful craft is complete, and the master class did everything possible to teach young needlewomen how to create such a unique gerdan.
