Friends, you must have seen everything amazinglybeautiful flower - iris. It has been known to people since ancient times. In the 15th century in Japan, these flowers began to decorate imperial gardens. And one of Van Gogh’s most expensive paintings, sold for $53 million, depicted irises.
Today we will learn how to make irises fromDIY beads in a master class. The beading technique we will use is called “French”. The technique is not the most complicated, so even beginners can handle it quite well. Let's start the weaving lesson.






Necessary materials


  • wire with which we will make the flowers and leaves themselves;
  • Wire thick for rod;
  • Beads of different colors. You can take blue, purple, red;
  • Threads with which we will wrap the rod;
  • Scissors, tweezers, nippers;
  • Brush and PVA glue;
  • pencil;
  • Ruler.

Master class on making iris

For irises should be made from beads six large petals, 3 sepals, 3 beards, 3 small petals.
Weaving flower details
We will make three small petals first. So, let's start beading according to the following pattern:

  • Do axis. We bite off eight centimeters from the wire, string the beads. Pay attention to the photo scheme. We do exactly what is depicted on them;
  • The next step is to create arcs. Bite off a piece of wire and screw it to the axis;
  • On the screwed wire it is necessary to thread beads;
  • Around the axis should make a turn. Check with the process of weaving through the photo;
  • The same turn should be made and lower. Get the arc;
  • Leaving a piece of wire on top, add more turns;
  • As a result, we get our petal for the future flower.









We continue our master class:

  • From the underside by means of tweezers bend a piece of wire inside;
  • In order to get the barbs, make 1 arc and an axis of 3 cm;
  • For small petals - an axis of 2 cm and already 2 arcs;
  • For fouls and standards - seven arcs and an axis of 3 cm;
  • Two arcs and an axis of 3 cm for the sepals.


Assembling a beaded iris Now let's start assembling our beaded iris:

  • Take the wire that is prepared for the rod;
  • To her, with the help of thread, wind small petals of beads;
  • Under small petals, fasten the beards from the beads;
  • The petals of the standards (in the figure they are shown in brown), wind between the beards;
  • Fouls we have purple. They should be attached to the rod between the standards and immediately under the beards;
  • Next, thread the rod down another centimeter to three;
  • Next, reattach three sepals to the stem;
  • Continue to wind the thread with a thread. We do this for as long as you want. Then just fix the thread and cut it;
  • Carefully brush the PVA glue with the brush all the rod, and especially well miss the places where we screwed the elements. This is necessary for the fortress of our craft;
  • Carefully spread the petals.





    • Organically add a bud to a flower. The next master class will tell you how to make them.
    How to make buds for iris from beads ForBuds make two axes of 3 cm. Plus five more arcs. Two arcs and an axis of 3 cm - for two petals, which we call additional. Look at the photo and you will see how and what needs to be done.
    Please remember that these additionalThe petals of living irises are very light and white. They are located in those places where the stem branches. Screw the petals of the bud onto the pencil that we prepared in advance. They should be twisted together.
    Then take a short piece of wire and attach a bud to it. Then wrap additional petals there at a distance of two cm from the bud.
    On another short wire, add the second bud. Look at the photo. These are the kind of beaded irises we should get.






    Forming an iris

  • So, the first flower is located on a wire about 50 cm in length;

  • Below the flower, about 5 cm, screw a short bent wire - this is our branch from the main stem;
  • For this short wire, screw the bud;
  • On the place where the bud was attached, it is tedious to fasten the additional petals. How to hide the place where the bud was fastened;
  • Close the wire again. Again short and slightly curved. Half of this wire should be threaded;
  • Below the wire should be screwed our second bud;
  • And again you should screw twoadditional petals - hide the junction. At the end of the article there are video tutorials on how to weave irises from beads. Watching such a video will be a useful lesson for creating your future masterpieces.
  • The second flower should be lower in length, about 5 cm. You can do it the same way as we told above. The third flower should be even lower.
  • The rod should be threaded to the end. Then properly lubricate it with a brush with PVA glue.




    • As a result, we will get a stunningly beautiful flower.
    Please note that the beaded iris is almost the samefrom a real flower. And then... even breeders cannot grow red iris. And you can make it yourself! You just need to make an effort and have a little free time.
