According to Turkmen beliefs, beads are the tears of beautiful girls. The beauties were kidnapped and captured in a cave by an evil desert spirit - dev. According to another legend, glass beads came into the world thanks to merchants from Phoenicia. They sailed along the Mediterranean Sea and stopped for the night on a deserted sandy beach. There were no stones nearby, and they used pieces of natural soda, which they were carrying for trade, and lined the hearth with it. In the morning, in the coals from the fire, the merchants found an ingot, transparent and durable - glass. This article will offer several master classes on creating necklaces and necklaces from this wonderful material. The first master class with step-by-step photos is dedicated to creating a necklace from beads and agate in mystical dark tones.You will need:
- Gray rhinestones (11 mm) 2 pcs .;
- Turquoise twills (14 mm) 2 pcs .;
- Rectangular agate bead or carcasson of black color 1 pc .;
- Beads from glass faceted turquoise color (6 mm) 10 pcs .;
- Beads made of plastic, black faceted (3 mm) 20 pcs .;
- Beads 15/0 turquoise color and transparent;
- Beads 10/0 in black;
- The line is 0.15 mm;
- Needle number 10;
- Fittings for necklaces (rings, carbines, chains) in black;
- A piece of leather for the wrong side;
- Glue;
- A piece of felt.
First, you need to braid the central stone. Carefully glue it to a piece of felt and cut out the blank, stepping back from the stone by 5 mm on all sides.Sew the blank with black beads,using a backstitch. Leave a small fishing line tail on the wrong side. Pick up 2 beads and bring the needle out to the wrong side just behind the beads. Bring the needle out between two beads to the front side and thread the needle through the second one. String 2 more beads and repeat the manipulations. In the first row, you need to make an even number of beads.
Thread the needle through all the beads and tighten the row.Then take the needle out of any bead, string 1 bead and pass the needle through one bead, repeat. You should get a row like in mosaic weaving.
In the third row, the fishing line comes out of the protruding bead, string 1 bead and pass the fishing line through the next protruding bead.
Weave the next two rows in the same way as the third.Weave the last row from transparent beads and pull together so that the stone is firmly secured. Pass the fishing line through the entire row again, bring it out to the wrong side to the tail that was left at the beginning. Tie a knot and melt with a match or lighter. Trim the edges of the felt.
Glue the blank to a piece of leather.Leave 5 mm around the perimeter. In order to sew the edges, take the fishing line out of the bead of the second row (marked with a red circle in the photo). Pick up 2 beads and thread the needle with the fishing line into the same hole from which the needle came out. Pierce the leather carefully. Go through the row along the perimeter.
Cut off excess skin.The second row of trim will consist of 3 beads in a stitch. The fishing line comes out of the top bead of the first row, string 3 beads, and from the wrong side, thread the needle with the fishing line into the hole already existing from the first row.
The next stage is weaving rhinestones.Make the blank as in the previous case - glue it to felt, sew it and braid it with beads, then glue it to leather and sew it again. In the last row of sewing, take two beads instead of three. A diagram is suggested for the leaves. Use transparent and black beads. Transparent beads are marked in red on the diagram.
The work is carried out in one thread from the edge to the center.In this master class, leaves are woven on 5 teeth. You can make as many as you want, their number is calculated by the number of beads marked in red. You need 5 leaves. Connect the tails of the leaf as in the photo. Attach them to the rhinestone.
For the last leaf you need to take a large onea piece of fishing line, because the leaf is attached to the rhinestone with its round end, the sharp end to the rectangular central stone, and the same tail is used to attach the beads to the workpiece. Follow the instructions in the photo. The fishing line comes out of the bead in the red circle.
First sew a large black bead. The beginning of the work is marked with a red circle. Continue according to the photo.
The next step is sewing on the smallblack beads. The starting bead is marked in red. Pass the fishing line through it, string a small black bead and 1 transparent bead and proceed as shown in the photo.
Complete all steps for the remaining petals and the second flower.
The next steps are flowers with rivoli.You will also need 2 of them. For beginners and those who are not on friendly terms with mosaic weaving, this master class offers an alternative method of weaving. To do this, fold a small piece of felt in four and cut off a corner (see photo). Next, attach the rivoli to this hole with the wrong side, trace it along the perimeter and embroider the first circle as before.
Sew and braid, just like rhinestones.
Leaves for a flower that has a coreRivoli is woven similarly to the leaves for the rhinestone, but instead of transparent beads, take turquoise. Connect the round ends of the petals with rivoli, and the sharp ends with the sharp ends of the petals with rhinestone. To achieve the desired length, you need to weave 2 more leaves according to the petal pattern. Weave from black beads. The round end of the leaf is attached to the side of the leaf below. The beginning of the work is outlined in a red circle.
On the outer leaves take a longer piece of fishing line. It is necessary to attach beads, like on flowers. Attach a ring to the sharp edge instead of the last bead.
Attach a carabiner and a chain to them, and the necklace is ready.
