One of the most perfect creations of nature– flowers. Bright and delicate, with a sharp strong aroma and completely odorless, all possible shades of the rainbow and sizes. Many of them are the subject of many legends and myths, flowers were dedicated to the ancient gods, people believed in their magical power. They were used in rituals and medicines were prepared. And of course, their beauty was admired. Narcissus was and remains such a flower. Its cultivation began in Ancient Persia. King Cyrus I called narcissus "immortal delight created by beauty." In Persian poetry, the eyes of a beloved are called "narcissus" or "nargiz." The ancient Greeks have a legend about the young man Narcissus. He was so beautiful that even divine creatures fell in love with him. But his heart was cold and loved no one. One day he came to the shore of a lake with amazingly clear water, which the gods themselves protected from dirt, animals and winds. Narcissus leaned over its mirror surface and fell in love with his reflection. In the place where he withered from self-love, a surprisingly fragrant and beautiful flower appeared. For the Romans, on the contrary, this flower symbolized joy and victory. Warriors were awarded with wreaths of daffodils. In ancient times, there was a belief in the Germanic tribes - when getting married, a girl took a daffodil flower from home. It was necessary to take care of it, because the better the flower is, the more complete the family happiness will be. To always feel like a winner, like the Roman soldiers, and have a full cup of family happiness, you can weave a daffodil with your own hands from beads. In this article, we will offer 2 weaving options, with a detailed diagram and description of the work of this wonderful flower.To create your first daffodil you will need:

Transparent beads 11/0 white, green, yellow and golden color;
Wire 0.4 mm (steel, green and yellow);
Strips of thick wire for stems;
Floral ribbon is green.

We will make the petals in French stitchtechnique. On our website you can find articles with diagrams and descriptions of work in this and other weaving techniques. For one flower we will need 6 petals. You need to take a piece of steel wire of a convenient length for you. At a distance of about 8 - 10 cm from one edge, make a loop (it should be long so that it is convenient to hold on to it). The smaller piece will be the axis, the larger - the working wire. String 7 transparent white beads on the axis. We also string beads on the working wire. The string should be slightly longer than the beads of the axis. Press it tightly to the axial string and make a turn of wire around the axis in the place where the beads end. We place the working wire at an angle of about 45 ° in relation to the axis, this will make our petal sharp. Now we string the beads on the working wire again and make a turn around the axis, but from below. In this way, make 5 more pairs of arcs, each time increasing the number of beads in the string. In total, we get 6 pairs of arcs. Our bouquet will have flowers of different sizes, so for one or two daffodils, you can make petals with 5 pairs of arcs.The core of the flower.We make it from gold-colored beads. We will need the loop technique. One loop should have about 40 beads. We will need 12 loops made on one piece of wire. The distance between the loops can be minimal. We align them in length and place them side by side in one plane. In order for the shape to hold, you need to stitch the structure in the middle of the workpiece. Now you need to roll the structure into a cylinder and bend the upper part of the loops outward, so that it looks like a real flower.Stamens.For each flower you need several stamens. String 5 - 6 yellow beads on small pieces of yellow wire, place them in the center and twist into a loop. Buds. For each bud you will need 1 petal with 6 pairs of arches. Just twist it into a spiral. Leaves. For green ones, use green wire, for golden ones - yellow. For each of the buds you will need 3 leaves. Weave them in the same way as the petals. For the axis you will need 10 green beads and 3 pairs of arches.For each flower you need to make 1 moreleaf from gold beads. Now we will weave long leaves. String 65 beads on the axis and make 5 pairs of arches. Since the leaves are long, they will need to be stitched with wire in two places, as we did with the core.Assembly. Insert stamens into the core, attach petals. Use flor tape to attach to the stem. See the photo for guidance.To create a second daffodil you will need:

Beads 11/0 yellow;
Ready-made stamens;
Line or thread;
Needle for beads;
Glue or florent tape;
Artificial stalk.

We will weave the middle (cup) using the techniqueNdebele. First row. You will need a fishing line (thread) 183 cm long. We will work with one thread. String 10 beads and tie into a ring. Second row. String 4 beads and pass the fishing line through the next bead of the circle. Do this 9 more times. Now you need to pass the fishing line through the first 2 beads of the first four. This is necessary to move to the next circle. Third row. String 2 beads and pass them through the next 2 beads of the first four. (see the first picture). Repeat the manipulation 9 times again. Pass the fishing line through the extreme corner bead and 1 more bead above it. This is the end of the row and the transition to the next circle. (picture 2) From the 4th to the 11th row. String 2 beads and pass the fishing line through the next bead of the column. Add one bead and thread it through the corner bead of the next vertical row (they are made of twos of beads). Repeat 9 more times. Thread the line through the extreme corner bead and 1 bead above it. This is the transition to the 12th circle. 12th row. Weave similarly to the previous row, but instead of one bead between the vertical rows of Christmas trees, add 2. 13th row. Add 3 beads and thread the line through the next bead of the column. *Add 3 more beads and thread the line through the corner bead of the next column. Repeat from * 9 times. Thread the line through the extreme corner bead and another bead above it. This is the end of the row. Tie off the ends of the line. You can hide them in the weaving or singe them. We will make the petals using the mosaic (brick) method. We will weave in one thread. The length should be at least 137 cm. We start with the widest row. It will be 2 beads high and 10 beads long. (See Figures 1 through 4). We will continue to weave the short part first (the inner end of the petal). The rows will be 1 bead high. We will decrease the number of beads by 1 in each row, except for the first. Here we will need to weave 2 beads less. 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. You will need 8 rows in total. We close the loops at the beginning of each row. An example of decreasing the number of beads is shown in Figures 6 and 7. We will also weave the upper part of the petal using brick weaving, but the row will be 2 beads high. Pull the fishing line through the outer beads of the hedgehog-shaped part of the weaved part so that it comes out of the first bead of the middle row). 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. In the last row there will be 1 bead in height. Fasten the fishing line. Hide the tails. Assembly. Connect all 6 petals with a square stitch along the edge of the inner part. Sew on the calyx. Pull the fishing line from the inside of the calyx, through the petals and again through the beads of the calyx. Sew or glue the stamens. Attach the flower to the stem with glue or flor tape of a suitable color.
