In the photo we see how the finished product will look like.
We start weaving with petals. The scheme for their creation is quite simple, but if it is not clear, you can use the video, where everything is shown in great detail.
So, we take a wire 0.3 mm thickand string blue beads on it. You need to string a lot of beads. Now you need to make a loop, for which you will need to move 5 beads and twist the wire. Next should be the second row, to complete it, you need a wire with beads strung on it around row No. 1, then in the same way around row No. 2 we twist row No. 3. Now you need to make an indent and, repeating all the steps, weave the second petal, the third petal and the fourth petal. We leave a small tail, about 5 centimeters, now you can cut off the excess wire. Now we put a bead on the wire, which needs to be lowered down, then the wire needs to be twisted - this will be the leg of our flower.
At the second stage of work we weave the leaves.We take a wire, measure two meters and cut off this piece. Now we string a large number of green beads on it. We round the end of the wire so that our beads do not roll off it. Just as we wove the petals, we also wove the leaves, we wind the wire with beads in layers, row by row, only here we need to make rows not of five, but of ten beads. At the last stage of weaving the leaves, we need to make teeth on them so that they look realistic and resemble the leaves of a living flower. To weave the leaves, use the French weaving pattern for jagged leaves, or watch the video.
Now we need to put all the parts together – the leavesand petals. Take the wire that was prepared for the stem of our flower. Using the winding thread, carefully wind the flowers to our stem and arrange them so that they turn out to be in the shape of a ball. After that, wind the leaves using the thread as well. Make several such branches, and then collect all the branches into bushes. Our hydrangea (master class) made of beads is ready. All that remains is to plant it in a pot, like a real flower, and fix it there. Take the pot, place the flower there. Dissolve gypsum in water (you can also use alabaster) to get a solution similar in thickness to sour cream. Fill the hydrangea “sitting” in the pot with the solution, after which we add some decorative touches, but this is up to everyone’s imagination and taste. As we can see, the weaving pattern for hydrangea is not complicated and can be done even by novice craftsmen.
Beaded hydrangea is not only a gooda way to decorate the interior, it is also a great gift, because it will keep the warmth of your hands and give positive energy to the person you give it to as a gift.
Now your beaded hydrangea is ready.This master class will help experienced needlewomen to gain new interesting knowledge, and will help those who are not yet among the ranks of experienced needlewomen to master such a fascinating activity as beading.
