Beading is a fascinating process that not only delights you with hand-made masterpieces, but also contributes to the development of creative abilities in women and girls. There is nothing more beautiful and more valuable than something made with love and care.

But what to do if the basics of beadwork have been mastered, but complex things just don’t work out? Don't know where to start and how to do it correctly? This is exactly what our article will discuss.

The proposed scheme for executing this instance will be understandable even to needlewomen with zero ideas and knowledge.




Let's start creating a flower from beads:

To complete the first elements, a single long wicker blank made using the mosaic technique is used. Primitive bracelets are woven using exactly the same principle - . Therefore, understanding the technique of making roses is not difficult.

But for those who are not familiar with mosaic weaving, let's look at what it is. - This is one of the types of creating a flat canvas. The elements in which are located strictly vertically and between the beads of the previous row. The product comes out a little loose, but at the same time durable and more attractive than a simple one. parallel weaving, where the beads are located strictly above each other.

1. We make a rosebud.

We thread the isothread or fishing line into the needle. We tie a triple knot. We thread the bead and stretch it to the end. We thread a needle between the two threads and tighten the loop, fixing the element. This way, the outermost bead will securely hold the entire row and thread.


We continue working according to scheme 1.


Take bead #2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Move them to the first one. Insert the needle into bead #5. We string bead #9. We pass the needle through #3.




We string bead #10. Pull the needle through the first one. We unfold the future element for a more convenient approach to the side of the canvas. We hook #11 and #12. Pull the needle through the 10th. We continue to weave the first element according to pattern 1.





After some time of weaving, the need arises to tie a knot, because... the thread ends. To properly secure the knot, you need to remember two rules:
1.) The knot should always be on the wrong side and in the intended bottom outer row of the fabric. To prevent the knots from sticking out unattractively on the upper open petals of the product.
2.) The number of knots tied one after another should be at least three. After all, with everyday use of the product, poorly secured knots can come undone and dissolve all the created beauty. Therefore, tie knots through each bead, and only then cut the thread.


We weave the strip to the desired length, approximately 22 - 25 cm.

2. Form a rosebud.

Along the expected bottom edge, i.e. where all the knots were fixed, we stretch the needle and isothread. By placing the beads one at a time, we will form the natural curves of the element, which are similar to the curves of the petals of a real bud. We fasten the isothread by threading it through the last bead twice.



We roll the canvas into a future flower. We fix all the edges well in a spiral, forming equal parts of the flower. We fasten the thread. We cut it off.


3. Weave the lower part of the cup and form the stem.

We simply weave the lower part of the flower cup in a circle, evenly adding four beads in a row.



We constantly compare the completed part and the lower part with the completed flower. Weave size to size. Then we sew this part to the rose.




We take the wire and straighten it. We bend one of the ends. And we pull several beads onto the second tip. We slightly bend this end of the wire again. Then we pull the wire through the middle of the flower bud. See below for a step-by-step photo of this stage.



We get the beads onto the wire. Bend the free end of the wire.

4. Weave rose leaves.

Creating rose leaves is the simplest stage of weaving a flower in general.
We weave the leaves according to scheme 2. The principle of execution is the same as weaving a bud: the first bead is the fastening thread, then 4, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 7. We insert the needle an eighth from the needle, 3 set, 1 in 9- yu from the initial extreme, set 3, needle in the fifth from the initial one. We go back two beads, set 3, needle 11th from the beginning.


Repeat similarly on the second side. Then we carry out the extreme completions of the rhombus. Do not forget that all return movements are performed only through threading the beads. If you run the thread along the top of the bead, the pattern will tighten and will not look neat.




We weave one large petal and two small ones. We weave the small ones directly into the branch of the large petal. Fasten the thread tightly.
Sew the branches with leaves to the stem.


We insert a thin wire into the middle of the branch and hide it in the beads. This way the leaves will not sag and will keep their shape.
Take the butterfly and fold it in half. Sew to the bud.



Now the work on creating a simple rose is completed. If creating this version of a wonderful flower seemed simple to you, then read the next master - classes with more complex weaving patterns. Learn new things and strive for excellence!

Educational– improve skills in working with beads, develop knowledge of the basics of composition, color science and mastering beading techniques.
Educational- instill an interest in the origins of folk art, hard work, accuracy, perseverance, patience, and the ability to finish a job.
Developmental- develop motor skills, imaginative thinking, attention, imagination, creativity, and form aesthetic artistic taste.
Purpose: An excellent gift, interior decoration or souvenir, especially valuable because it is made by yourself.
The queen of flowers, the rose, needs no introduction. There is hardly a person who would not be captivated by her beauty.

Rose is a symbol of perfection,
Wisdom and purity.
Her supremacy is recognized
Among the colorful flowers.
The queen keeps in the petals,
The secret of tenderness and love.
Everyone can enjoy
The standard of beauty.
A bouquet of roses is charming,
Gives a symbol for each color:
Red is the path to love, recognition,
White is a covenant of purity.
Materials and tools needed for weaving:
1. pink beads (or any other color at your discretion) – 80 g,
2. green beads – 40g (bead size 10-11mm),
3. wire 0.5 mm thick - for making flowers and leaves,
4. 0.7mm wire – for the central axis,
5. wire for the stem of a rose flower (since a beaded rose flower turns out to be quite heavy, for the stem you need to select a wire that will hold the flower freely and not bend, you can use either copper or cheaper aluminum wire, 3-4 mm thick ),
6. vase, flower pot,
7. threads for binding - green floss yarn (instead of threads for winding, you can use tape or corrugated paper, can be replaced with green electrical tape).
8. scissors, wire pliers,


Safety precautions
When working:
- handle materials and tools carefully;
- cut the wire only with scissors (do not tear it with your hands or teeth!);
- place scissors only with blades closed;
- pour beads from bags (jars) into separate lids a little at a time so as not to spill a large number of beads on which you can slip;
- after every half hour of work you need to rest for 15 minutes (to protect your eyesight).
Remember!
- craftswomen 6-8 years old can work with beads for no more than 40 minutes;
- craftswomen 9-11 years old - no more than an hour;
- craftswomen 12-16 years old no more than one and a half hours

Our rose will consist of 4 circles of petals.
First round
We begin work by preparing a wire for the central axis. Cut off 2 pcs. 10-14 cm of 0.7 mm wire,


string 5 pink beads on them and set them aside.


To weave 1 circle (center) of petals, we collect 1-2 m of pink beads onto the working wire


and without cutting the wire from the coil, wrap the end of the working wire around the axis, departing 4 cm from the upper end of the axis.


Next we weave in arcs (French weaving), to do this we turn the working wire around the axis



For the petals you need to weave 5 arcs.


We cut off the upper tip of the axle, leaving 3-4 mm, and bend it inward (towards the wrong rows).
Forming a bud. To do this, we bend the petals, perpendicular to the axis, around the pencil. We bend the end of the working wire 90 degrees to the side.


We insert them into each other so that the ends of the axes are inside the bud, and fasten them with fume tape.



Tie threads to match the future stem (green) to a piece of wire 5 mm and 25-30 cm long
Second round
The second circle consists of 3 petals. We weave in the same way, only we wrap the end of the working wire around the axis, departing 5 cm from the upper end of the axis, and make 7 arcs.


Third circle
The third circle consists of 4 sharp petals. Stepping back 6 cm from the upper end of the axis, we wrap the end of the working wire around the axis, having previously strung 5 beads onto the axis, and make two arcs. Then we put 1 auxiliary bead on the axis.



We weave 2 more circles and again put 1 bead on the axis.


We weave 3 more circles. The petal is ready. We cut off the upper tip of the axle, leaving 3-4 mm, and bend it inward (towards the wrong rows).


Our petals are ready.


Give the petals a cup shape. To do this, bend the upper edge of the petal to the wrong side, and press the middle a little inward.


Fourth circle
The fourth circle consists of 3 petals. We take 2 pieces of wire 0.7 mm, 14 cm each. Fold them in the middle crosswise


and make a slingshot.


We wrap the end of the working wire around the axis.


We begin to weave on 2 axes. Bend the working wire with the beads collected around the right axis.


Pass 4 beads on the working wire.


Bend the working wire with the beads collected around the left axis.


Now we bend the working wire around the base of the slingshot


Then we weave according to the pattern, going around, alternately, the axes of the slingshot.



We do 10 circles.


We cut off the upper ends of the 2 axes, leaving 3-4 mm, and bend them inward (towards the purl rows).



Our petals are ready.


Now let's give them shape. To do this, bend the top edge of the petal to the wrong side.


Sepals
Weaved on 0.5 mm wire with green beads. To do this, we collect about 1 m of green beads on a 0.5 mm wire and cut the 0.7 mm wire to 14 cm


We put 5 cm of green beads on the axle and wrap the end of the working wire around the axle. We bend the upper tip of the axle.


We make two arcs with working wire around the axis.



After the first pair of arcs, leave about 10 cm of beads on the working wire and cut off the wire, leaving the end of the working wire about 12 cm long. Then we pass the working wire between the axis and the arc at a height of about 3 cm, tighten it so that the new half-arc fits tightly to the previous one, make 1 turn.


Now we wrap the working wire around the axle.


Let's pull it up.


Then, we wrap the working wire around the second arc and tighten it.


We complete the half-arc. We wrap the working wire around the base of the sepal and cut it off.


We weave 4 more sepals, give them shape and set them aside.



Leaves
We weave 6 sharp leaves. To do this, we collect about 1 m of green beads on a 0.5 mm wire and cut off the 0.7 mm wire 14 - 16 cm


We put 5 green beads on the axle and wrap the end of the working wire around the axle.


We weave in the same way as the petals of the 1st circle, only to make the leaf sharp; in the upper part of the leaf, bring the working wire to the axis at an acute angle, and not perpendicularly as in a round petal.




We weave 5 arcs and our leaf is ready.


We weave 5 more leaves in the same way.
When 6 leaves are ready, collecting twigs . To do this, you will need floss threads (or other yarn) and 2 pieces of wire 0.7 mm 15-20 cm. We use it to thicken branches with leaves. Attach 1 piece of wire to the leaf and twist them together, being careful not to form a spiral, but to ensure that the twist is uniform.


We begin winding the twig with floss threads, starting from the top leaf.


After 2-2.5 cm, we apply the 2nd leaf, leaving a 2-3 mm stalk, winding it to the branch with 2-3 turns, apply a third leaf, leaving the same stalk, and continue winding another 3-3.5 cm .


We secure the thread by passing it between the wires and assemble the second branch in the same way.


Flower assembly.
After all the parts of our beaded rose are ready, we begin assembling the flower. To do this, apply one petal of the second circle to the bud on the stem in the same direction that the bud is wrapped and wrap it with thread. Their bent tips should be slightly higher than the level of the first circle of petals.





Further in a spiral, we apply the petals to the stem in 3 circles and, maintaining the direction, we wrap them alternately with threads, one at a time.









Now we wrap the 4th circle of petals, maintaining the direction, we wrap them alternately with threads one at a time.

There are various techniques for weaving leaves from beads. We tried to collect the most successful and well-known techniques. Additions are welcome!

Master classes on French arc weaving technique from Alla Maslennikova:

1. Pointed leaf
This leaflet is made as follows:

Step 1. Twist the short (axle) and long (bottom) wires. The axis must be straight.

Axle length = leaf length + stem length (from 3 cm) + margin on top (2-3 cm).

Step 2. String beads onto the axle and bottom. There should be more beads on the bottom than on the axle.
Step 3. Secure the right half of the arc. Place the low one on top of the work and twist it around the axis (1 turn).

Step 4. String the missing beads on the bottom to complete the arc. Pay attention to the location of the beads at the top of the right and left halves of the arc and the angle of their connection with the axis. It is this arrangement that allows you to get a pointed leaf.

Step 5. To secure the left half of the arc at the bottom, place the wire on top of the work.
Step 6. To secure the left half of the arc at the bottom, twist the wire around the leg (1 turn).


Step 7 Perform the next arc in the same way as the previous one. The new arch should fit snugly to the previous one. You must also ensure that the axis remains straight.

Step 8 Complete the arc in the same way as the previous one. We still make sure that the axis remains straight, and the new arc fits tightly to the previous one.

Step 9 Perform the required number of arcs in the same way as the previous ones.


Step 10 To secure the last arc, twist the wire around the leg until the end.

Step 11 This is what the reverse side should look like.

Step 12 Bend the top end of the axle to the wrong side. The fold should fit snugly to the top arc.

Step 13 Cut the bent end of the axle with side cutters or wire cutters so that a tail 2-3 mm long remains. It should rest against the twist of the penultimate arc.
Step 14 Press the tip of the axle firmly against the underside of the sheet. If everything is done correctly, the tip of the wire will rest against the twist of the previous arc and subsequently will not cling to anything.

2. Narrow pointed leaf

This leaf has a more pointed end and an elongated shape compared to the previous one.

Step 1. Start working by analogy with a pointed leaf. The difference is that beads are strung on the axis between the arcs.

Step 2. The next arc is fixed on the axis above the bead.

Step 3. To complete the arc, perform 1 revolution around the stem.



Step 4.

To give the leaf an even sharper shape, the number of beads can be increased (optional).

Step 5.

Step 6.Bend the top end of the axle to the wrong side.Leave the tip of the axle 2-3 mm long (cut off the excess), i.e. such that it rests on the last bead on the axis.Press the tip firmly against the axle.

3. Round sheet


Step 1.Start working by analogy with a pointed leaf. The difference is that at the top of the low axis it is fixed not at an angle, but perpendicularly.
Step 2. The beginning of the second half of the arc is also located perpendicular to the axis. The beads should be pressed tightly against the axis and the end of the first half of the arc so that the arc appears single (without twisting).

Step 3.Perform the next arc in the same way.You need to make sure that the axis remains straight, and still press the initial beads of the second half of the arc tightly against the axis.



Step 4. Complete the next arc by analogy with the previous one.
Step 5.Perform the required number of arcs. To complete the work, you need to twist the wire around the leg until the end.

Step 6. Bend the upper end of the axle to the wrong side.The fold should be close to the last arc.Leave the tip of the axis 2-3 mm long, i.e. such that it rests against the twist of the penultimate arc.Press the tip firmly against the axle.


4. Trefoil with round leaves This type of leaf is perfect for plants with three to four miniature leaves on a branch, for example, clover. The fourth leaf can be added in the same way as the previous three. You can also slightly vary the shape and bend.


Step 1. Make a loop of 5-9 beads on the wire, leaving a short end of the wire on one side and a long one on the other. Fasten the loop with 1-2 turns. Straighten the short end of the wire, because it will serve as a leg.

Step 2. The next arc should frame the previous one. It should be secured to the stem with 1-2 turns, similar to the previous one. Leaves of 1-4 arcs are made using this method.

Step 3. Make the next leaf on the long end of the wire in the same way as the previous one.

Make the first arc (loop) by stepping back a small distance from the previous leaf.

It falls on the indentation from the previous leaf and the stem of the new leaf (from the base of the inner loop to the base of the outer).

Step 4. Make the required number of arcs for the second leaf. If the distance from the previous leaf was sufficient, then the bases of the leaves will be at a short distance from each other.

Step 5. Make the required number of leaves. Shape the branch by twisting the wire.

You can also make flowers this way.


5. Toothed leaf



Step 1. Make one arc as for a pointed sheet.

Step 2. Perform a right return arc, i.e. fasten it from above not on the axis, but on the previous arc, stepping back from its upper edge by 5-9 beads.

In this case, insert the wire from the wrong side and bring it out from the front.

Step 3. Secure the arc at the bottom. The second half of the arc should go around the first, tightly adjacent to it.



Step 4. Perform the left return arc by analogy with the right one. At the same time, secure the first half of the arc at the same level at which the right arc was secured. This is usually one bead further from the top.

Step 5. Complete the left return arc in the same way as the right one.

Step 6. Perform the next return arc again on the right, securing it to the previous arc.


Step 7Perform the next left return arc in the same way.

Step 8Perform the required number of return arcs. To finally secure the wire, you need to twist it around the leg.

Step 9Bend the upper end of the axle to the wrong side, cut it to the level of the top bead on the axle and press tightly to the axle.

Another common weaving technique is mosaic technique.

1. Rounded leaf.

The technique of weaving a simple rounded sheet is shown in the figure on the left. This type of leaf can be used to weave leaves and petals of many plants. Color, size and shape of bends may vary. The mosaic weaving technique is quite simple. Cut off long thread and fasten 1 bead to the thread, leaving an end of 8-10 cm. String the required number of beads (the number of beads should be approximately half the number that gives you the required length of the sheet). This will be the central vein of the leaf (Fig. 1-3). Then follow Figures 4-5 until the job is completed. Then repeat the same on the other side of the midrib. After completing the leaf, tie the thread and hide the end.

2. A leaf with jagged edges.
When turning at the end of a row, before starting a new row, instead of skipping the bead that came out of the drink and threading the thread into the last one added, string a round bead of size bigger size, for example, 14° and again pull the thread through the bead from which it came and the last bead added at the beginning of the new row (Fig. 1 on the right)

3. Petals or leaves with frilly edges.
Add loops of 3 size 11 beads between pairs of beads along the edge of the sheet (Fig. 2).

4. Leaves with long pointed tips.
Add 1 extra bead when stringing the midrib (start with an odd total number of beads, not an even number), then pull the thread back through 2 rather than 1 bead at the end of the top when weaving the first row of the leaf (Figures 3 and 4).

5. Curved petals or leaves. String the midrib beads and work your way back to the beginning. In the next row, make an increase once in the middle by adding 2 beads instead of 1 (Fig. 5). Continue adding 2 beads at a time until the end of the half sheet. On the other side of the sheet, make a decrease in the center by 1 bead, skipping the bead. On the next row, add 2 beads where you missed a bead. In the next row, pull the thread through 2 beads. In the next row, add only 1 bead instead of 2 to make it smaller (Figure 6).

6. Composite leaves.
Make 3 or 5 leaves and join them with square stitches along the bottom diagonal edge (Fig. 7 and 8). Attach the stem using square stitches.

Another unusual, rather complex version of weaving leaves (in this case, grape leaves) from Tatyana Ivanova.

Cut the green wire to the maximum length, put on 4 green beads, go back through three beads, tighten so that you have a main axis of 20 cm, and the rest of the length goes to the working end. Now make a loop around the main row, put the required number of beads on the working end, go around the central row and make a turn around the central row at the base (photo 2).

This sheet is woven in steps. We collect 5 beads, cling to the center of the leaf (photo 3), make a turn, collect 7 beads and return down to the base of the leaf, make a turn and form a step on the other side in the same way (photo 4-5). When you have weaved three steps of the leaf, you need to make a pointed protrusion. To do this, you need to collect more beads, form a sharp protrusion (photo 7-8) and return back to the base. Repeat the second side.

Continue weaving the grape leaf with beads using this principle. Each subsequent bottom row is wider than the previous one (photo 10-13), but when another row with sharp protrusions is ready, then you need to start reducing the leaf (photo 14-15). After carefully studying the photo above, you can repeat the weaving yourself.

We begin weaving the left side of the leaf. Weave the half as shown in photo 16 and attach it in the center to the edge of the finished sheet. Continue weaving the leaf, clinging to the edge of the leaf (photo 17-20) until the end. Repeat the same on the other side (photo 21-22).

Now you need to complete the leaf, for this you need to weave two halves as shown in photo 25 and weave them to the lower edges of the grape leaf. In order for the massive sheet to hold its shape, you need to make a frame from thick wire. Wrap it with green threads (photo 27), then secure it with reverse side leaf (photo 28-29).

You can also weave smaller leaves using the second method, in which the frame is immediately woven as work progresses, as shown in photos 31-32. And so on for all subsequent halves of this sheet. Below in the photo you see two ready-made options. On the right is on an attached frame, and on the left with a woven one.

Ivy leaf.
Scheme by Elena Bashkatova.


The French arc weaving technique is also used here. But two additional pieces of wire were used for two axes on the sides. Thus, the base of the sheet axis from the place where two axes were added and below will consist of three wires, which will give the sheet additional strength.

Roses made from beads look very impressive. Even a single flower placed in a vase can decorate your living room.

Materials and tools

To work you need to prepare:

    beads of 2 colors (green for leaves and white, red, yellow or any other for petals);

    wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm;

  • green tape or floss;

    wooden skewer or skewer for the stem.

Creating petals

Rose petals are made using French technology.

A piece 50 cm long is measured from a coil of wire and cut off. Make a loop at one end. From the other end, collect 5 beads and make the same loop.

Collect 10 beads from one end, bend them towards the axis, connect the wires to each other, forming an arc. Repeat the steps on the other side.

In total, 5 arcs are performed on each side in this way. If desired, the last row of beads can differ in tone from the main ones.

To give the workpiece a petal shape when attaching the wire last row it is connected to the axis at an acute angle to sharpen the end of the part.

This is how 3 petals are performed. They will be located in the center of the flower.

To make row 4 petals you will need a frame. It is made from two pieces of wire 18 cm long. The lower ends are twisted, and the upper ends are straightened to the sides.

A bead is strung on each end of the wire, a wire 125 cm long is attached to them. The arcs are braided with 12 pairs of arcs.

Weaving of sepals and leaves

For the sepals, cut a 40 cm wire, 23 beads on the central axis, and make arcs on each side. Start the second arc, but collect beads only to the middle of the base. 5 such elements are made.

For leaves, cut a wire 80 cm long, put 20 beads on it, which will serve as an axis. The rod is braided with an arc, the second row of arcs is made a little smaller.

Each row of arcs should be smaller than the previous one.

3 blanks are connected to each other, wrapped with threads or tape.

Weaving flowers from beads is almost finished: you just need to put all the elements together.

Assembling a rose

The two petals of the first row are connected, the ends of the wire are twisted, and the petals are given the shape of a bud. Apply a third one to them, bending them.

This workpiece is wound with a strong thread to a rod (wooden skewer).

Attach the parts of the second and next rows to the bud, giving beautiful shape, slightly turning out the last petals so that the rose opens.

The sepals are attached to the bottom of the flower by wrapping them with thread.

A twig with leaves is attached to the stem. Wrap the stem with green floss. The craft is ready. You can put such flowers in beaded pots, place them in a vase, or come up with another use.
