Orchid beads with your hands in the master class (photo)

It is difficult to imagine a flower more delicate and beautiful than an exotic orchid. A variety of varieties and colors provide ample scope for creative delights.
The orchid is quite capricious and complexflower to grow. And then, a real flower will not be able to please you with lush blooms all year round. A flower created with your own hands has a number of advantages:
- color, texture, number of flowers can be anything, like your heart pleases;
- Orchid bead does not require special care, can be placed in any location, regardless of the ambient light and drafts;
- the beauty of this flower is not inferior to the original, and its naturalness can only envy.
However, to create such beauty need to exert maximum effort and diligence. But it is worth it!
Workshop on weaving orchid Bead
For the first lesson on creating a pretty orchidWe offer splatsy delicate, peachy beauty. A fabulously beautiful flower that requires precise execution of instructions ultimately looks very harmonious and natural. Moreover, for your first bead creations, use the lessons with step-by-step photos and video tutorials. The photo captures only the key moments and the beginning beadworker has as much time as she wants to examine all the details and small elements. The video makes it possible to use only a still frame, in which it is not always possible to examine in detail all the subtleties of the weaving stage. On top of that, the recording quality of the video is often poor. Choose the weaving option that is most convenient for you and get creative.
The beaded orchid is made of five openflowers and four buds. The petals are made using the French weaving technique and look very similar to real petals, so follow the instructions exactly for great results. The small leaves are woven from dark green beads, as shown in the photo. Use this detailed master class to weave your very first flower in a pot. Next time for a beading lesson, you can try to make an orchid from beads using your own patterns.
To create such a masterpiece in this master class you will need:
- beads in five colors: orange, brown, two types of yellow and dark green;
- yellow beads;
- thin wire for flowers and leaves;
- thick wire for the stem;
- brown threads for winding the barrel;
- Low Goshokov;
- gypsum.
Now we begin the gradual establishment of a flower. The most laborious and difficult will be the first step.
Weaving petals and assembling a flower On a segmentWith wire about a meter long, you need to make a small loop from the edge and string four beads, and from the other edge twist a larger loop, as shown in the following photos.
We continue weaving our petal.Now you need to string a certain number of beads so that they are in close contact with the first row and no unnecessary gap is formed between them. Next, make 3 arcs on each side. In total, together with the central row, we will have to get seven arcs. View a photo of the finished petal, on which you can easily calculate the number of rows.
After we had finished weaving a petal,the tip of the wire will need to wrap a couple of times around the tabs. Now you need to seal the wire. To start, you need to roll out a small loop and straighten the wire, and twist a large loop so as to form the leg. Next, we turn to him the wrong side petals are bent by the top wire and reduce a her in the number of petals, which is located at the center. Cut off the tip. As a result, we get a nice lepestochek, as in the photo:
In order to make one flower, you needAccording to the same pattern, continue weaving four more of the same petals. It is also necessary to prepare one stamen from large yellow beads, one stamen with smaller yellow beads, as well as small petals that will be located in the center from brown beads. The two side petals should consist of two pairs of arcs with a central base of eight beads. The petal, which will be in the center, includes four arcs on both sides with a central row of 6 beads.
We begin the process of assembling the flower according to the following scheme:
- twist the brown petals together (this will be the middle of our orchid flower);
- curl up with each other 5 petals orange;
- inserted into the center of the blank of the two kinds of stamens;
- We tightly wrap all the parts with another piece of wire, thus forming the stem of the flower.
In total, we prepare 5 flowers for the orchid using the same principle.
Making buds for an orchid from beads ForTo make a bud we will use orange beads, one round yellow bead and wire. We also make the bud according to the pattern using the French weaving technique, just like our petals, but with a slight difference, which is that on the wire we will have to collect three beads and make one pair of arcs on each side.
Now, in order for us not to succeedThe petal is flat, it will need to be shaped into a cup. This is done as follows: the next pairs of arcs need to be made one bead less and tightened tightly. It turns out that the beads will bend on their own, forming a depression of the convex shape we need, as in the photo:
The first half of the bud should consist of 6 pairsarcs and one central row. Next we continue weaving the second similar half. The resulting blanks need to be twisted together and a yellow bead inserted inside. We sew the edges of the bud with wire.
For an orchid branch we make four such buds.
Let's weave leaves Let's do the greens.Weaving is done using green beads and wire. The leaves for this orchid have a similar weaving pattern, as do all the details. We take thicker wire, since we will need a larger amount of beads here than for the petals, and accordingly their weight will be greater. The piece of wire should be about one meter.
We weave three leaves about 11, 13 and 15 cm in lengthrespectively. The central rows will have a base in the first version - 9 cm, in the second - 11 cm and in the third - 13 cm. All our leaves consist of six pairs of arcs, i.e. three arcs on each side and one central row. At your discretion, you can make the leaves a little larger so that the orchid does not look “naked”.
If you look at the photo, you will notice thatthe leaves are stitched with green wire in some places. This was done to prevent our leaves from falling apart. The seams pass in several places, and the stitching itself is barely noticeable, thanks to the wire matched to the tone of the beads. The ends of the wire need to be hidden in nearby beads, and the excess ends should be cut off.
Formation and flower decoration of two segments of different length of wire large stalk perform.
We wind the thick wire tightly with a thin one, bending the ends in the shape of legs. The length of the legs depends on the diameter of the pot or cache-pot. In which the orchid will be fixed.
Secure the flowers and buds evenly on the trunk using wire, the buds should be at the top.
Leaves are attached at the very bottom of the stem, as seen in the photo. It is important to distribute the sheets around the perimeter of the stem so that the rosette looks neat.
Now use brown threads to decorate the stem of our orchid. Wrap the stem so tightly that the wire is not visible.
In order to secure the flower tightly in the potyou will need plaster. You can put pebbles and pieces of old clay pots at the bottom of the pot. The gypsum mixture is poured into the pot almost to the top so that the finished composition is stable. The flower itself must be wrapped so as not to get dirty with plaster.
The master class is almost completed and all that remains ismake the finishing touches. Paint the surface of the dried plaster, straighten the leaves and petals and place this example of flawless DIY beading in a very visible place. Such a gorgeous flower will not leave anyone indifferent. If all the elements are done correctly and the material is of good quality, the result will be stunning.
Driving orchid mosaic weave
Make orchid beads can also be in the art of weaving a mosaic. To do this it is best to use the diagram below:
Scheme No. 1
Scheme No. 2
Scheme No. 3
According to scheme No. 1, it is necessary to weave 3 narrowpetal, stringing ten beads first. Next, go through the center and weave in additional beads (diagram No. 2), now you need to go back and tighten. As a result, our leaf will turn out to be embossed.
At the next stage, you need to sew the petals, connecting the edges, as in mosaic weaving.
Let's start weaving wider petals,by analogy with narrow ones. The only difference is that at the beginning you need to string 14 beads, according to diagram No. 2. Go through the center and add additional beads. We go back and tighten it.
One of the petals needs to be folded and sewn over the edge.
Weaving the edges of wider leavescarry out according to scheme No. 3. All that remains is to connect the petals by alternating wide and narrow pieces. You can attach a clasp and use this wonderful orchid as a brooch.
