Options lavender weaving
Inflorescence lavender There are different schemes create lavender. Here we look at the most simple.
Weaving should begin with the inflorescences.To do this, you need to string 10 beads on the wire and, twisting the ends of the wire, make a loop. After that, on each end of the wire, you need to twist two more loops, stringing the same number of beads. For one lavender brush, you will need 6 such inflorescences. For a bouquet, you need at least 15 flowers. When making inflorescences, you can use beads of different shades, which will give lavender more naturalness. Color transitions will create the impression of a living flower. For an accurate selection of shades, you can refer to a photo of real lavender.
Having finished with the inflorescences, we cut off the thickwire 45 cm long. Carefully screw the first inflorescence to the top of this piece of wire and direct the loops upwards. They should rise above the wire, hiding its end. Stepping back a centimeter from the first inflorescence, screw the second. Five inflorescences are secured in this way, and only the sixth is secured two centimeters lower.
Weaving leaves Having finished forming the brush, you should make leaves. This is very simple and will not cause any difficulties.
There should be leaves, just like a real flower.very many. Their length varies from 2 to 5-6 cm. For one leaf, beads are strung on the wire to a length twice as long as the length of the future leaf. After that, a loop is twisted, the same as when weaving inflorescences. The same loop is made nearby. The leaves are slightly compressed from the sides. Shorter leaves will be located in the upper part of the stem, and longer ones in the lower part.
You should fix the leaves at your own discretion, as you think is most beautiful. After that, you need to decorate the wire with floral tape (it can be replaced with green threads, preferably floss).
Once you have finished collecting all the lavender sprigs,we install it in a beautiful flowerpot and fill it with alabaster. This should be done quickly, since alabaster hardens quickly. When the mass hardens, it should be painted in a dark color and decorated with interesting stones, moss, any beautiful elements to your taste.
The second method of weaving lavender There is also alavender manufacturing method. Given that the beading is very exciting experience, you may want to do, and another bunch of slightly different way. Lavender Beaded with this design will look more fluffy and thorough. For its production will require all of the same materials.
We begin our master class by making a flowerlavender. We string a lot of beads on a very long wire, and then begin to twist it. The first four loops will be the top of the flower and they should be made of 7 beads. When twisting the loops, it is important to leave one end of the wire at least 10 cm long, otherwise there will be problems when fixing. Having made the top, we make the remaining loops from 9 beads. The more loops there are, the more beautiful the lavender from beads will be. When a chain of loops is made, we begin to tightly wind them on the remaining 10-centimeter tail of the wire. The flower is sharp at the top, and widens towards the bottom.
Lavender leaves are made using the techniqueparallel weaving (if necessary, you can familiarize yourself with it using video lessons). For one sprig of lavender, there should be at least five of them. They should be woven according to the scheme:
- 1 p - 1 b (1 1ryad bead);
- 2 p - 2 b;
- 3-11 pp - 3 b;
- 12 p - 2 b;
- 13 p - 1 b.
Each leaf must remain 4-inch tail to fix the wire.
Having finished weaving everything necessary, we begincollect the branch. To do this, take a piece of thick wire about 20 cm long and carefully screw the flower and leaves to it. Then decorate the stem with floral tape or threads. You can see how it looks in the photo selections presented in our article, and then decide what to hide the wire under.
The resulting bouquet, just like the previous one, is planted in a pot. This concludes our master class. We hope it will be useful for you.
There are also other patterns for weaving lavender, but they are not as effective and simple.
Beaded lavender will be a wonderful gift, will bring a lot of positive emotions and will greatly decorate the interior of any room.
