Weaving lilacs from beads is verya painstaking task that requires additional endurance and a lot of free time for this hobby. For example, in order to get an original flower, it will take about several hours; to combine individual inflorescences into an overall beautiful composition, you need to spend three or four days, but this will be done with your own hands.
Beaded lilac is a beautiful spring plant,which can decorate any room. A detailed master class will tell you how to make a lilac bush from beads. As well as video clips that will help you better understand the most difficult moments. Initially, it is recommended to stock up on beads in white, as well as lilac and green colors; for dilution, you can also use soft blue No. 11.
In addition, do not forget about bugles orcutting of blue, white, lilac colors. You also need a base to create the composition, which should consist of copper wire with a diameter of 0.3 millimeters. To wrap and hide the wire on the lilac stem, take high-density green threads.
How to create an inflorescence
You can weave twigs of lilac withLoop method. To do this, take the wire, retreat from it ten centimeters and dial 15 beads, thus creating a loop. Next, you need to make an indentation of seven millimeters in size and create the next loop, which must consist of 13 beads. It is important to make the right indentation so that the lilac of beads is not too tight and dense to all weave. In the case when the distance is minimal, the branch will have a shortened and not attractive appearance, the splendor will disappear.
In our master class we will look at a slightly different way of creating branches for lilacs from beads and bugles.
A bouquet of lilacs made of beads consists of largeinflorescences of different colors. Initially, you should make miniature fragrant inflorescences of this wonderful flowering bush. For this purpose, you need to take a wire whose length is 30 centimeters and collect beads in a total of five pieces. All this should be in the center of the segment; you can see it in detail in the photo.
Next, the end of the wire must be passed throughorder through the starting bead on the other side. After this, you need to tighten the wire tightly and pay attention to ensure that the beads do not move from its central part. Thus, you need to weave the first loop, as indicated in the master class, consisting of five beads.
Nearby you need to make another loop, whichis created according to the same principle as the previous one, namely, you should collect 5 beads on the edge of the wire, and return the end in the opposite direction, hitting the initial bead, tighten the wire and move the beads to the loop. In exactly the same way, you need to create an additional loop and in the end you get four curls that fit very tightly to each other, the first developments are already visible and the bush comes to life.
The wire must be twisted 1-2 turns,as in the photo, fold in half and string one bugle bead. It must be pressed tightly against the loops consisting of beads and bent in a perpendicular manner. So we got one of the lilac flowers, partly resembling a mushroom and creating a bouquet of lilacs from beads; the video lesson at the end of the article will show you how to do this correctly.
By creating more and more similar flowers,Large lilac inflorescences are obtained, to which leaves are added. There should be about 6 flowers on one branch, there should be at least 9 of them. It is important to take into account that their quantity will make lilacs made from beads look lush and colorful, that is, if you have time, diligence and desire, you can create a completely original and impressive composition. In total, in order to create a lilac bush you need at least 54 flowers.
Litter leaves lilacs
Following the creation of multicolored flowers for lilacs, it's time to start weaving green leaves. In this case, beads of similar color are needed.
Initially, you should correctly weave the firstpart of a leaf taking into account parallel weaving. Part of the part must be created on a wire whose size is 25 cm, do not forget about the information that the diagram contains:
- 1st row: one bead;
- 2nd row: two beads;
- 3rd row: two beads;
- 4th row: three beads;
- 5th row: four beads;
- 6th row: five beads;
- 7th row: six beads;
- 8th row: five beads;
- 9th row: four beads.
The second half must be woven into the firstleaf. In exactly the same way, such a master class can be used for weaving maple compositions and grape leaves. You need to take a wire 25 cm long, pass it in the area of the first and second rows of the sheet and continue weaving.
It must be aligned at the ends; the first row is created from just a single bead. The working end of the wire, located near part of the leaf, must be pulled between the next two rows.
Next, we weave the subsequent rows according to this pattern:
- 3rd row: three beads;
- 4th row: four beads;
- 5th row: five beads;
- 6th row: five beads;
- 7th row: five beads;
- 8th row: four beads;
We complete the weaving of the leaf by connecting the endswires into one whole, and thread one bead through the middle. There should be 3 on each side, then don’t forget to connect the ends into one and put ten beads on them, pay attention to the photo. The last beads collected should fit snugly to the beginning of the leaf. After such a simple and uncomplicated process, you get completely original leaves for a lilac bush, made with your own hands.
There should be no less than such leaves3 pieces and they will be located on one inflorescence. You may want to do it in large quantities and in different sizes - this will not affect the entire composition and its beauty. At this stage, we complete the master class on making leaves and move on to assembling lilac branches.
How to collect inflorescences in a bouquet
After creating all the necessary details, branchesBegin to assemble into a common brush. It is necessary to take inflorescence, which will become central and basic. In those places where the trunk is wound with threads it is necessary to add 4 branches, they should be at the same distance from the central one. After this, take the stem and wrap it with green threads for 2 cm and add four more twigs.
Next, it is recommended to wrap the stem two centimeters with thread and add leaves, visually selecting the length and complete the work.
In the same way, the master class recommends doingweave the remaining lilac tassels and combine them into one beautiful composition, combining different colors of bugles and beads. From the resulting brushes you need to make one beautiful beaded lilac, which you place in a small vase in a prominent place in the room.
An educational video on this topic is presented in our article. Even though beading lilacs is a painstaking task, you will create a souvenir that you won’t be ashamed to give to your loved ones.
