Jewelry has existed on earth since the very beginningthe first man. Ancient people hung themselves with beautiful stones, pieces of bone, fur and wood. Such details served to indicate status, for example, a leader, a shaman or the strongest warrior of the tribe. The most beautiful jewelry has always been evidence of wealth and high social status. The history of making bead jewelry is not much younger than the history of the first jewelry. In many ancient burials around the world, scientists find crafts made of multi-colored beads and evidence that the ancestor of beads - beads, made of wood, porcelain, carved from bones, cast from gold, silver and copper. With the advent of glass and the development of glassmaking, beads began to be made from it. One of the recognized centers of glassmaking was Venice. The secrets of glass making were jealously guarded, and glassmakers enjoyed special privileges. Beads from Venice spread all over the world, gold, various exotic rare values and even slaves were exchanged for them. Gradually, glass making recipes became publicly available. One of the main competitors of Venetian beads was Bohemian (Czech Republic). With the development of technology in the modern world, beads are made, as before, from glass, while plastic beads are no less bright and beautiful. With such an incredible, diverse and amazing material, creating jewelry from it has become a very popular hobby. Thanks to beading, as a type of handicraft, craftswomen create amazingly beautiful and elegant things. Costume jewelry confidently takes its place among fashion trends, so this article offers several master classes on creating jewelry from beads, namely, bundles. This wonderful craft can be used as a necklace, a choker or instead of a chain for a pendant, long cords turn into elegant lariats, short ones can become a bracelet, a detail of a pendant, in general, everything that the needlewoman's imagination suggests. In addition, there is absolutely no need to limit yourself to ordinary beads, a special charm and texture will be given to cords by chopping, bugle beads, Twin beads, biocones and much more. The first master class is devoted to weaving a thin square cord.Required:
- Beads;
- A needle and a needle for beads.
To make it clear in whatsequences to attach beads in the master class used beads of different colors. The work will be done in one thread, therefore, having strung the first 4 beads, it is necessary to move them to one of the ends of the segment of the working fishing line and tie a knot, closing the beads into a ring.The fishing line comes out of one bead of the first row.String 3 beads onto the fishing line and make a cross by threading the fishing line with a needle through the same bead of the first row. Thread the fishing line through the next bead of the first circle, string 2 beads, thread the fishing line through the tops of the two resulting crosses.
Using two yellow beads, fasten the tops of the green and red crosses, thread the fishing line according to the pattern through 2 green beads.
String 2 blue beads and pass the fishing line with a needle through the tops of the yellow and green crosses.
Pass the needle through the next green bead,skip one green bead and thread the corner into a red bead, string 1 blue bead and finally thread the needle into the second blue bead, and again into the red side bead, then into the blue, light blue and green side bead. Pull all the circles into a square.
The next bundle is made of beads.
You will need:
- Beads 11/0 and 15/0;
- Bioconuses or beads 4 mm;
- A needle and a needle for beads.
String 4 beads 11/0, alternating them with beads. The work will be done in one thread, so close the first row in a circle closer to one end of the fishing line. The fishing line comes out of the bead 11/0.
For the second circle you need to string 3beads 15/0, 1 bead 11/0 and 3 more beads 15/0. Pass the fishing line through the next (in the course of work) bead of the previous row. Make 3 more such rows, passing the needle each time through the bead 11/0 of the first circle. The fishing line comes out of the bead 11/0 of this circle.
String 1 bead and pass the line through the 11/0 bead of the second circle, weave the entire row in this way. Tighten.
The next circle is threaded with 3 pieces of 15/0, 1 piece of 11/0 and 3 more pieces of 15/0. Pass the fishing line through the 11/0 beads of the previous row.
Then there is a circle of 4 beads, the fishing line is passed through the 11/0 beads of the previous row. The fishing line is tightened again. In this way, weave until the length of the cord is satisfactory.
To create the next beaded cord, you will need crochet skills. Turkish cord.
You will need:
- Multicolored beads 11/0;
- Thin threads (so that it was convenient to string beads on them);
- Hook of the corresponding number;
- Silicone flexible hollow tube for the base under the bundle;
- 2 jewelry fasteners of the appropriate diameter.
String the beads onto the thread without cutting it from the skein.String the beads in the strict sequence of the previously selected pattern. It is necessary to pay maximum attention to this, because it will be impossible to change the order of the beads later. For practice, you can try to create a bundle of one color so that the principle of work becomes clear. And then you can create bundles with geometric patterns of varying complexity.When all the necessary beads are strung, you canstart knitting. Knit the first loop with a hook, move the first bead to it. Pick up the working thread behind the bead with a hook and pull it through the formed loop. Tighten and secure the bead in the work and move the next one closer. Repeat the manipulations until the length of the chain with beads is equal to the diameter of the silicone tube. Close into a ring using a slip stitch.
Pull the next bead to the hook and insert ithook into the thread of the first circle, pick up the thread behind the bead, pull the loop through, then pick up the thread behind the bead again and knit both loops together. This is how the bead of the second circle is secured. Do these manipulations with all the other beads until the cord reaches the desired length.
Knowing in advance how many beads are in each circle, you can calculate the pattern and string the multi-colored beads in the desired sequence.
At the end of the work you need to knit 3 - 4rows of single crochet stitches without beads. Fasten the thread and cut it. Insert a silicone tube inside the bundle blank. Place the fasteners on the ends of the bundle to close the unsightly end and the beginning of the work.
The next spiral bundle is quite easy to weave.easy, its secret is to use beads of different sizes. Thanks to this, beautiful shapes and color combinations are obtained. For training, it is better to use beads of contrasting colors, so that it is easier to track the rows and control the shift of the beads.
You will need:
- Beads 11/0, 15/0, 8/0;
- Leski and a needle for beads.
The first circle is the base of the flagellum. You need twice as many beads for it as for the other circles.On a piece of fishing line of a convenient length, string 4 beads 15/0, 8 beads 11/0, 2 beads 8/, eight beads 11/0, pass the fishing line through the first four beads 15/0. The base is ready for work.
The bracelet pattern is achieved by shiftingpattern. String 1 bead 15/0, it will be located above the bead 11/0 of the previous row, then string 3 beads 11/0, 1 bead 8/0, etc. The next row is shifted to the right again to obtain a clear spiral pattern.
The line does not need to be pulled tightly, the beads should move easily in the circle, this is necessary so that the tourniquet does not become too rigid.
when the tourniquet reaches the desired length,To close it, it is enough to decrease the beads in each row, stringing every second bead. The next cord is woven from regular beads and Twin beads.
You will need:
- Beads 15/0;
- Beads Twin;
- Leski and a needle for beads.
String 1 onto a piece of fishing line of a convenient length.twin bead, 3 regular beads, 1 twin bead, 3 regular beads, 1 more twin bead and 3 regular beads. Thread the fishing line through the first twin bead and 2 regular beads. The work will be in one thread, the entire string, closed in a circle, can be moved to one end of the fishing line.String 3 regular beads, thread the fishing line throughthe second hole of the twin bead along the weaving, tighten, string one regular bead and pass the fishing line through the middle bead in the next three beads. Weave the entire circle like this.
For the next circle, the line comes out of the middlebeads of the first circle of three, string 3 small beads, 1 Twin bead and one more small bead on the fishing line, thread the fishing line into the middle bead from the second circle of three. Repeat the sequence of two rows until the cord acquires the required length.
Finally, secure the clasps.For a necklace or choker, they can be woven from beads. It will look like a button with a loop. For a bracelet, such a clasp will not work, it is better to use special clasps from a jewelry and accessories store. And finally. Any of the above-mentioned cords can easily become a beautiful necklace, bracelet, cord for a keychain or pendant. You can even make earrings or use a small cord in the form of a pendant. And remember that only the imagination of needlewomen can set the frame.
