Necessary materials
This master class will tell you how to weave frombeads delicate hyacinth and "plant" it in a pot. For a more visual example, the article provides detailed video tutorials on weaving and assembling such a flower. So, in order to weave this flower with your own hands, we will need the following materials and tools:
Having prepared everything you need, you can start weaving the hyacinth from the beads.
Master class on beading hyacinth
Doing petals Before you startBeadwork of a hyacinth, it would be nice to find a photo and see it well. You can also watch a video of how the hyacinth wobbles to make it clearer how it's done. If you take beadwork of flowers, then hyacinth can be attributed to the average level of complexity.
So, let's start our master class on makinghyacinth with petal weaving. The peculiarity of the production is the weaving of each petal separately and their subsequent assembly into flowers. One flower consists of six petals. The weaving pattern is as follows: cut off a piece of wire about 30 cm long from a skein, string 20 beads on it. Then count half of the beads, separate them. Through such a row in the opposite direction, you need to pass the other end of the wire, tightening it.
Now another 14 are strung onto one of the ends.beads. The string of beads is lowered so that it lies in the center of the resulting ring. All the beads should lie so as to fill the middle of this ring. After this, the wire must be secured by making several turns and twisting it.
Middle of the hyacinth For the middle on the wireLength of 22 cm you need to string one bead of yellow color and, having folded the wire in half, make the bead stay on top. Then it is twisted, the twisted segment should be about 1 cm long. Now the same thing needs to be done with both ends of the wire. Also string each one with a yellow bead and twist them 1 cm. You should get 5 stamens for one flower.
Forming a flower The flower consists of sixpetals, they need to be put together. To do this, take a petal and string 5 beads on the free end. Now take the second petal and pass the free end through the 5 beads of the first petal. On the other end, the free end of the second petal, string 5 beads and pass one of the ends of the third petal through them. On the free end of the third petal, string 5 beads again and pass the end of the wire of the fourth petal, and so on until all six petals are stringed and connected.
In order to get a flower, at the endthe wire of the first petal is passed through the beads of the sixth petal, thus completing the tying of one hyacinth flower. To do this, we compact the beads, twist it under the flower for several turns. Then we take the stamens, place them in the middle of the flower. Again, we twist the wire for several turns. In the end, the flower is given the appropriate shape, bending the petals. It is necessary to collect about 20 such flowers.
Assembling a beaded hyacinth Our master classsmoothly moves on to the most important stage - assembling the flowers. We take a flower, designate it as the central one, five more flowers will be attached to it in a circle. Before fixing the next flower, it needs to be slightly bent at the base.
When all the flowers are collected together,the stem of the hyacinth is formed. Wrap it with green floral tape or threads. To make the materials stick better, they need to be attached with PVA glue. After a couple of centimeters, 5 more flowers are tied to the stem in a circle. Note that the flowers of the next row are placed between the flowers of the previous one. Do not forget to also wrap the stem with threads or tape along the way.
So, gradually you will tie all the hyacinth flowers. If there were twenty of them woven, then you should get four rows of 5 flowers, check.
If you are not satisfied with a barrel that is too shorthyacinth, then when working with the fourth row, it can be made longer. Just tie an additional rod with florist tape or threads, this will lengthen the stem of the hyacinth, it will seem higher.
Weaving leaves
To make beaded leaves, you canuse a thicker wire to create the axis, but if you don't have it, take a regular one and simply fold it in half, then string the central row of beads on it. The axis should be about 20 cm long, of which 12-13 cm will be used. In this case, beads should be collected on only 9 cm of this wire. A piece of 80 cm long is wound to the axis, beads will be strung on it to wind the axis.
For the leaves in this master class,the arc weaving technique is used. The working end should be wrapped around the axis 3 times and as a result you should get 6 arcs. Sometimes, when making leaves of considerable length, like hyacinth, it may be necessary to stitch the leaf. This will significantly strengthen the leaf, will not allow it to bend under the weight of the beads. In the photo you will see what kind of leaves should be obtained in the end.
We weave 5 leaves. Then we wrap the hyacinth trunk with florist tape and simultaneously attach the leaves to it.
The master class is coming to an end, and we have leftjust plant our hyacinth in the chosen pot. To do this, dilute the alabaster with water, plant the flower in the pot and fill everything with the prepared solution. The leaves that were crushed during assembly should be straightened to your taste. Congratulations, the beaded hyacinth is ready!
