With the arrival of spring, lilacs begin to bloom.Lush bunches of purple or white came to us from Persia a very, very long time ago. Like many other beautiful flowers, it was sung about in books, many myths and fairy tales have been composed about lilac. According to one of them, which came from Scandinavia, lilac is a creation of the sun and the rainbow. One day, the goddess of spring mixed bright rainbow colors with the color of the sun and scattered them all over the earth. And from this, beautiful flowers bloomed everywhere. When the goddess got to Scandinavia, she was left with only purple. This is how lilac appeared, and when the sun decided to mix all the colors of the rainbow into one, white lilac blossomed on the earth. A Greek legend tells of the beautiful nymph Syrinx, with whom the satyr Pan was in love. The beauty did not want to communicate with the lover and turned into a flowering bush. In order for the blooming lilac to delight you with its lush tassels all year round, you can weave it from beads.This article will show you how to weave onea sprig of lilac. Of course, in order to have a real bouquet in your vase, you will need to create many of these branches. You can experiment with shades of purple and lilac, the size and configuration of the branches, and create your own unique composition. You will need:

Round beads 11/0 lilac and green (if you take a transparent beads with a lilac paint covered with an inner hole, the lilac brush will turn out more lush and airy);
A glass bead in the tone of a lilac bead;
The wire is 0.25 mm in diameter (silvery for flowers and green for leaves);
For the decor of the branches, green threads or a floral tape.

Flowers.For one branch, you will need about 20 pieces of wire, 30 cm long. We weave the flowers according to Figure 31 a. using the loop technique. Each petal consists of 5 beads. There will be 4 petals in a flower. There is a belief that a lilac flower with five petals brings good luck. Make several of these in each branch. When you weave the petals, twist the wire tails and thread them through the glass beads. From 6 - 7 flowers, assemble an umbrella, as shown in Figure 31 b. Tightly twist the wires at the base of the umbrellas. To form a lilac brush, attach the umbrellas sequentially one after another at a distance of about 2 cm. Leaves. For one branch, you need 8 pieces of wire, 25 cm long. You will get 4 leaves. We work with parallel weaving. First, we make one half of the leaf according to Figure 32 a, then weave the second one to it. The direction of work is indicated by arrows. When both halves are woven, you need to take 2 wires that are in the center and string 1 green bead on them. String 3 green beads on each of the two side wires. Now string 7 beads on all the wire tails of the leaf. When all 4 leaves are ready, one of them needs to be attached to the brush. From the three remaining ones, we form a branch, as shown in Figure 32 b. Then it can be attached to the branch with brushes or left as a separate element. All that remains is to tightly wrap all the branches with floral tape or green threads. If you choose threads, do not forget to glue the beginning and end of the branch so that the threads do not unwind. The lilac branch is ready. It remains to weave a few more of these and you can decorate the room with a miniature bouquet.
