In this article we will weave solar beadsrays falling to the ground – dandelions. In the language of flowers they mean happiness. There are many legends, traditions and myths about this wonderful and bright flower. One of them tells that one spring the sun admired the green grass on the ground. But in this splendor something was missing. The sun waved his hand, and golden lights shone on the ground – dandelions. But winter, lurking nearby, did not want such warm and bright flowers. She waved her hand, and all the dandelions were covered with a thin layer of fluffy snow. Since then, it has been like this: first, dandelions shine with a bright sunny color, and then they put on fluffy white coats. In the practice of Feng Shui, it is believed that dandelion protects against misfortunes, and also brings health and prosperity to the whole family. In order for such a wonderful amulet of bright sunny color to appear in your home, we suggest creating it from beads.For a bouquet of dandelions you need:

Beads 11/0 bright yellow (transparent and opaque), green (fine), brown dark (with large holes), brown light and transparent (shallow);
Transparent round glitter approximately 40 pcs.
The wire is thin. Green, white and yellow;
2 needles;
The line;
Thread or florent tape for winding.

Our bouquet, which brings happiness, will includebuds, and open flowers, and fluffy white inflorescences. The needle technique will be used to weave flowers. To create leaves – parallel weaving. Buds.We will work on a piece of wire 40 cm.String 1 yellow bead and place it in the center. We thread both wire tails into 2 yellow beads. Now string 8 green beads onto each wire tail. Now you need to cross the ends of the wire in another green bead (we thread the tails through the hole towards each other). Tighten the wire. String 3 green beads onto 1 of the wire tails and place them next to the rest. Pass the wire through the first two beads and tighten. Do the same with the second wire tail. (see Figure 1 a.). You will need to weave three such blanks and connect them to each other as follows: thread the wire tail of one of the parts into the bead in which both tails crossed, string 1 more green bead and thread the tail of the second part into it, which also comes out of the bead, in which the wire ends were crossed. (see Figure 1 b.). We take a piece of wire 40 cm long and weave a needle of 3 yellow beads on it. We wrap one tail around 3 blanks below the yellow needles (see Figure 1, position A). We pull the wire and twist the ends tightly. Now weave green beads on these two wire tails in the same way as the three blanks. We got 8 wire ends. You need to string 3 green beads on them. Move them closer to the rest of the beads and twist all the tails of the wire. (see Figure 1 c. position B). The bud is ready. Let's move on to weaving the flower.The center of the flower will be from 18 – 22 beadsneedles. We string 5 transparent yellow beads and 1 opaque yellow bead onto a piece of wire 50 cm long. We pass one of the wire tails through the transparent yellow beads in the opposite direction. We weave needles alternately on the right end of the wire, then on the left. (See Figure 1.). We collect all the needles and roll them into a cylinder. Secure with remaining wire tails. For the petals along the edges we use the loop technique. We will weave opaque yellow beads on pieces of yellow wire 40 cm long. We collect about 20 beads (about 2.5 cm in length) and move them closer to one edge. Now you need to thread the longer tail into the first stringed bead in the opposite direction. (see Figure 2 a.). We need to weave 9 such loops. We leave a gap between them of approximately 3 – 4 mm. (see Figure 2 b.). We connect the loops. Twist the wire tails. Flatten the loops lengthwise. Now you need to make 12 more large petals on a piece of wire 60 cm long. For each loop you will need 23 beads (about 3 cm). Now we weave the sepals with green beads. 8 beads are strung on a piece of wire 45 cm long and placed in the center. We weave a loop as indicated above. You need to make 3 more loops on each end of the wire. The distance between the loops is approximately 4 – 5 mm. Twist the ends of the wire. (See Figure 3.). Now we collect the flower - the needle-shaped core, then the small and large petals and finally the sepals at the bottom. Twist all the wire tails tightly into one. Except for the sepals. Leave about 1 cm of flagellum. We cut off the rest. We make the stem from four green wires, 30 cm long. We fold them in half. And we place it between 2 – 3 petals (i.e. the wires seem to hang on them) along the perimeter of the flower. Press these wires, taut, to the base of the dandelion. We got 10 tails (2 from the sepals and 8 from the last wires). You need to string 7 green beads on them. We move the beads tightly to the flower and twist the wire ends tightly. When the flowers and buds are ready, we proceed to the leaves.We will weave using a parallel technique in two parts.Approximately 60 per piece of wire - 65 cm we collect 3 beads. We place them in the center. Then pass one tail of the wire through the last 2 beads towards the other. (see Figure 1 a.). We cross the wire tails in the three collected beads. (see Figure 1 b.). Now it needs to be tightened. Weave following the pattern. We make a row in which there are 8 beads as follows: we string 8 beads onto one tail, and pass the second tail only through the two beads located closest. (see Figure 1 c.). Make sure that one side of the workpiece is smooth. (see Figure 2 a.). Now we weave from the second piece of wire 60 – 65 cm long second half of the leaf. We pass the wire between rows of two and three beads. We string 3 beads and cross the wire tails in the last two beads. The wire tail, located closer to the first half of the leaf, must be threaded into the next wire bow between rows of three and four beads. Pull the wire tighter. String 3 beads onto one tail and thread the second tail through them. (see Figure 2 b.). Continue weaving as shown in Figure 3. When the leaf is finished, you need to string 2 beads onto 2 wire tails that are located in the middle and twist all the wire ends together. Now all that remains is to weave a fluffy white dandelion.The core of the fluffy dandelion will be in the forma ball woven with dark brown beads. Now you need to take a piece of fishing line and thread it through the needles at both ends. In the middle of the fishing line, you need to make a ring of 5 beads, crossing the needles with the fishing line in the first bead. (see Figure 1 a. top). In the diagrams this ring is indicated by a large dot. A row of 5 cells of 5 beads each is woven around this ring. 1st row of cells:

1st cell. On the needle number 1 we put on a bead. On the needle number 2 string 3 beads and pass this needle through a bead on the needle No. 1 and the nearest bead of the initial ringlet. (see Figure 1 b. beads, which we added at this stage, are highlighted more clearly). Tighten the line.
2nd cell. On the needle No. 2 we sew 1 bead, on needle 1 we string 2 beads. We pass No. 1 through a bead on the needle No. 2 and beads of the initial ringlet. (see Figure 1 c.).
3rd and 4th plait is similar.
5th cell. Needle No. 1 is to be threaded into the nearest bead of the 1st cell, thread 2 beads on the needle No. 2 and thread the needle No. 1 through the 2nd bead. (see Figure 1)

2nd row of cells:

1st cell. Needle No. 2 pass through the nearest neighbor bead of the next cell of the 1st row and thread on it 1 bead. On the needle number 1 string 2 beads. Now we pass needle No. 1 through a bead on needle No. 2 and through 2 beads of the first row from different cells. (see Figure 1, d).
2nd cell. On the needle number 1 and number 2 string on 1 bead. Now you need to pass the needle number 2 through a bead on the needle No. 1 and 2 beads of the 1st row. (see Figure 1 e).
3rd and 4th plait is similar. The string should be tightened more tightly, the ball should be hard.
5th cell. Weave according to Figure 1 g. The tails of the fishing line are tightened, fixed and cut. Leave the tail about 5 cm.

We make sepals.We use drawings 2 a for weaving. and 2 b. We will weave the sepals with light brown beads. You will also need 5 pieces of yellow wire 40 cm long. Each one will have 2 pieces. Through the beads of one cell we pass one wire tail of each sepal. They need to be moved as close to the core ball as possible. We twist all the wire tails tightly. We have a stem. Take a piece of white wire about 40 cm long and string a transparent bead. Thread both ponytails through the glitter. If you come across convex ones, then you need to thread them with the concave side up. String 1 transparent bead onto one wire tail. Now we move it towards the glitter and twist it 1.5 cm down. (see Figure 3 a.). Make another such umbrella (see Figure 3 b.). Now you need to thread the wire tails into the beads of the ball and tighten it tightly. Weave more umbrellas, tightening them on the ball. It is important that they are all the same size. To do this, you can use a piece of strong cardboard 1.5 cm wide. Each time you tighten the wire tails, apply it for accuracy. (see Figure 4). One dandelion will require approximately 40 umbrellas. When all the buds, flowers and leaves are ready, you need to wrap the stems with floral tape. A bouquet of dandelions is ready and can decorate your home.
