A string of beads is one waycreating jewelry. Using this beading technique, you can independently weave a bracelet or necklace, earrings, a pendant, or a belt. Another advantage of needlework is that it allows you to produce bead strands of various shapes and thicknesses, patterns and colors. Despite the fact that this technique of working with beads requires patience and attentiveness, practice, video lessons and a master class will soon help the diligent needlewoman create not just decorative elements, but create unique jewelry with her own hands.






How to Make Classic Beadwork


To work you will need:

  • Light beads;
  • Fishing line;
  • Needle (thin);
  • scissors.

We start beading a plait with the fact thatWe put eight pieces of light-colored glass on the fishing line. Since the work is woven into one line, you need to make a knot from the remaining short tail, and then pass it under several beads (two or three) in a chaotic manner.

The size of the harness can be varied independently -add or reduce the number of beads in a row. The main thing is that the number of pieces of glass placed on the line is an odd number (five, seven, nine, eleven). If the craftsman needs to create voluminous strands of beads, then a cord is inserted into the weaving. This will allow the future decoration not to lose its shape.
The free tail of the fishing line is threaded through the centerThe first bead is tightened so that a tight ring is obtained, as in the photo. Let's start weaving the second row. To do this, a light-colored bead is strung on an elastic thread; the end of the fishing line is inserted not to the junction with the adjacent bead, but through one piece of glass. The ball should not be located next to the bead of the first row, but above it. Next, stretch the fishing line through the center of a nearby piece of glass and tighten it tightly. Continue weaving in this way until the end of the line.










During operation, the string of beads is heldhands, if necessary, tighten it with your fingers. For the third stripe of the pattern, a light-colored bead is placed on the tip of the fishing line. Place the glass on top of the bead that started the second row and tighten it. That is, they again weave through one bead in such a way that each ball is placed above the white beads of the first strip. Continue beading until the required rope size is reached.






Crocheting bead strands

Especially easy is given this technology of weavingThose needlewomen who know how to crochet. Viewing the training video will greatly facilitate understanding of this material. As for beginners, then experienced masters recommend using beads of large size and different colors. This allows beginners to create jewelry by their own hands, while not getting confused and not straying from a number of schemes during work.
Take the thread and hook in your hands, the gripping method is the same as for regular knitting. The master class for creating a crochet beaded rope begins with fixing the first air loop without using beads.

Push the first bead to the beginning of the row, tightlymove it towards knitting, and grab the working thread behind it. After this, the fiber is pulled through the loop. The first piece of glass in the pattern is completely knitted. In this way, six more beads of the row are sewn one by one.
Insert the hook into the first air loop (which was made without using a bead).
 

The fiber is pulled through it.As a result, as in the photo, you get a ring as the base of the tourniquet. Fill the bundle with beads in a spiral using the half-column technique. Insert the hook under the first bead of the first line. Move it with your hand to the right side, while the beads should be positioned with the hole facing up. Throw over the working thread.
To ensure that no open areas or fibers of the thread are visible in the finished work, the rows of weaving are knitted tightly and, if necessary, pulled together
crochet by hand.
The new bead is moved tightly to the knitting,grab the thread behind it and knit it in a half-column. The result is the first thread of the second line. While working, make sure not to leave the loop empty (without a bead), and also do not forget that only one bead can be placed in one knot. Another prerequisite for crocheting is that the first bead of the first row is knitted with the first bead of the second row and so on until the end of the line. To make the bundle neat at the end, the last row is knitted in a half-column without using beads.


The master class is very popularcrochet bead strand with a pattern. For example, ornaments and floral themes add extra sophistication to bracelets and necklaces. The weaving technique here is almost the same as when working with plain beads and crochet. Before weaving a strand of beads, the craftsman needs to prepare a sketch of the design in advance. The scheme usually consists of three parts. The first column shows the placement of beads on the future decoration (how to weave, how many beads to string on a fishing line), the second picture is a version of what the design looks like in a spread, the third diagram contains information about the placement of the design on the finished bracelet. When creating the first row, the beads are placed horizontally from left to right, and in the second line the direction is changed from right to left, and the alternation continues until the end of the weaving.

Turkish beadwork

The master class of the Turkish tourniquet assumes the presencebeads, large beads or glass beads. This allows jewelry created with this DIY beading technique to always look voluminous and rich.
A line of three small beads is placed on the thread.size and one - large. According to the photo, work begins by knitting one air loop. Move four beads to the knot, then place a hook behind the large bead and knit an air loop. They lay down a new batch of glass. Again you need to make a grab behind the large bead and knit an air loop. Repeat the action three times. The result is three knitted loops with beads.










For further work, make two air loops.Move the group of beads again, thread the hook into the loop between the connection of the large and small balls. Grab the thread behind a large piece of glass and make a stitch. Knit two loops of the pattern together. After this, knitting will be repeated. Move the group of beads, thread the hook into the next loop between the small and large beads. Grab the thread behind the large ball, pull out the loop and knit two loops together. Continue weaving bead strands in this way to the required size.

Square tow of beads

Four black beads are collected onto the fishing line.One end of the string is passed through the center of the outer bead so that a cross is formed, and the ends of the fishing line are tightened. The master class for further work requires, for convenience, the symbolic designation of the typed glass pieces of the diagram with numbers: top - one, right - two, left - four, bottom - three. Collect three more beads, from the left side to the right, pass the tail of the working thread into the topmost bead (first). Insert fishing line into the second ball and pick up two more beads. The same is done with the third piece of glass in the diagram. With the correct arrangement of the beads, you should get an even row of three interconnected crosses.






Pass low through the fourth and then the thirdbead. Put on one piece of glass, which is threaded into the topmost bead of the first cross (done from the side from which the needle came out in the lower cross). Next, as in the video, stretch three beads from the left side from top to bottom. In the same way, one ball is removed from the top of the weaving, now in a downward direction. Tighten the wire, run the needle along the entire weave - up, to the side, up, to the side, top. Repeat beading until the required rope size is achieved. Our bead strands are ready!

Pendant keychain with beaded harness


Even if for some reason it was not possibleyou can weave a full-fledged bracelet with your own hands using the technique of weaving a rope of beads; you can still make a souvenir from a small piece - a keychain in the form of a pencil.
The master class assumes the presence of a ready-madetetrahedral strand of beads. Four white beads are woven in a circle into the top of the blank in the photo. Fill another row, but with smaller beads. To make the keychain rigid, each line is sheathed in a circle with fishing line twice. Pick up one black bead at the bottom and draw the line in the opposite direction from the exit of the tail with the black bead. The working thread should lie in a zigzag pattern. Once the line is tightened, the black ball will turn into a pencil lead. The ends of the fishing line are secured, and the excess is cut off with scissors.
