Star of beads
The easiest way to make a star is with a wire base. To do this, you need to cut a piece of wire of the desired length, string large beads on it and secure the ends.Then you can start forming a star. To the top of the asterisk is a rope tied on which the toy will hang on the tree. To make the star of beads look more festive, you can decorate the rope with a bow of thin tape tone in tone or any other color.

Snowflakes from beads
Weaving a snowflake from beads is not as difficult asmay seem at first glance. First of all, you need to imagine what you would like it to look like. Visualizing a future beaded snowflake will help develop an accurate weaving pattern. Any snowflake consists of diverging rays and beads strung on them in the form of a figured pattern. The minimum number of rays is 5. The more of them there are, the fluffier the snowflake will be.
Before weaving a snowflake from beads, it is convenient to firstdraw it on a piece of paper. This drawing will become a scheme of work. For weaving, take a wire 0.2-0.4 mm thick. For a denser pattern, you can take a fishing line. In the pattern, you can use beads of various shapes and sizes.
The rays are most conveniently made from a longglass beads. They do not necessarily have to be straight. A rhombus option looks impressive. To do this, string 4 glass beads on a wire and twist the ends together. Next, put on 2 more beads from each end. To create "tails", fix the wire in front of the last bead on each side. Then put on 1 glass bead on both sides and twist the wire again. This creates another rhombus. Alternating glass beads of different sizes can make a more attractive snowflake. Snowflake patterns:
Angel of Beads
Angel bead is made of wire and beads of different color and size. Figurine angel of beads consists of several parts:
- dresses,
- hands,
- wings,
- head,
- nimbus.
It is better to choose a separate large one for the head.bead, for the halo - small beads, for the other parts - the size can vary. The weaving pattern is as follows. First, you need to make a halo of several beads, tying it to the head, then - wings and arms. After the beaded angel has acquired general outlines, you can start making the dress, which is made in the shape of a triangle. In order for the beaded angel to be able to fit on the tree, you need to tie a ribbon to the halo. Beaded angels can also be made in three dimensions.
Snowman from beads
New Year's crafts made of beads can be placed andunder the tree. For example, you can make a round snowman from large snow-white beads. A beaded snowman needs filler, since the round shapes must be fixed. For these purposes, you can use cotton wool or synthetic padding.
To work you will need a long fishing line threaded through itthrough a needle, and beads of the same type. The snowman weaving pattern is circular. The first two beads are the first row. The second row - 2 more beads are added, and the fishing line is passed through the second bead of the first row. The third row - 2 more beads, the fishing line passes through the first bead of the first row. Subsequent rows are made similarly with the fishing line passing through the beads of the previous row. In order for the beaded snowman to acquire shape, from rows 9 to 12, 1 bead is added to each circle. In rows 13-17, it is necessary to reduce the number of beads. To do this, the weaving pattern changes: adding one bead at a time, you need to pass the fishing line through 2 beads of the previous row (in 4 places that are convenient to mark with a felt-tip pen).
After finishing the head, the snowman is made of beadsis filled with filler. To make the body, you need to add 6 beads in the 18th row. The addition is carried out in six places by 1 bead. By adding 2 beads in five rows, we get rows from 18 to 22. Then, beads are not added (rows 23-27). From the 28th row, the decrease begins similarly to the head. After finishing weaving, the snowman from beads can be decorated with decorative elements.
A similar method can be used to make a Snow Maiden from beads, Father Frost and other New Year characters. See similar master classes:
