Recently, it has become truly fashionable to decorate your home with beaded crafts. This is an original interior element that will emphasize the individuality of your home! Weaving is not a particularly difficult task, but it requires painstakingness and perseverance.

Beaded flowers: getting started

Before you get started, it's worth knowing what are beads, what types do they come in?.

Beads are small balls that have a small through hole. The color range is the most diverse. You can find matte or mother-of-pearl material for creativity, or work with whole-dyed or paint-dusted beads.

The quality of the beads depends on the manufacturer. For example, Chinese is not good enough. It may be unevenly colored, holes may be missing, and the beads themselves may be different in size. Best manufacturer considered the Czech Republic. Their products are smooth, neat, with a minimum amount of defects.

Of course, you can train and do your first works with Chinese beads. However, when you move on to making large, beautiful things, it is better to take Czech.

To work, you will need lavsan or nylon thread, wire or fishing line. Using fishing line they do volumetric crafts. Wire is useful if you want to give the product a shape, for example, as when working with beaded flowers. However, you should be careful with such items, they are quite fragile.

Beaded flowers: simple crafts

Described below ways to weave flowers from beads suitable for beginners.

Forget-me-not flower made of beads.

As you can see, to begin with, you need to string 6 beads onto a wire. The first one is yellow, the other five are blue. Then, we pass the end of the wire again through 2, 3 and 4 beads, and then into the very first one - the yellow one. The tip of the wire needs to be twisted under the yellow bead.

You need to make as many flowers as required, for example, to fill a basket or vase.

Then proceed to making the leaf. It is woven using parallel technique. First, 3 beads are placed on the middle of the wire, then the wire passes through the second and third beads. Then the number of beads increases until the middle of the sheet, then their number decreases. Secure the wire by twisting it. Make the required number of leaves. And combine your bouquet.

Flower "Chamomile" made of beads.

Using a parallel weaving technique, we make 10-12 petals for our chamomile. The center of the flower is made from yellow beads. Then, we make petals from green beads, according to the diagram. When all the individual parts of the flower are ready, we assemble them together. We connect the white petals with wire, inserting the yellow center inside. We attach leaves to the base wire. That's it, our chamomile is ready!

The proposed flower is not at all difficult to make. To work, you will need 0.3 mm wire, beads for the middle of the flower and beads of two colors to make the flower itself.

We begin to weave the flower petals using the parallel weaving technique.

• The first, second and third row are pink beads, the fourth row is 2 pink beads, 1 white, again 2 pink. Fifth row - 2 pink, 2 white, 2 pink. And so on. The middle of the petal is 2 pink, 5 white, again 2 pink beads. After this series the decrease begins white beads.

• As a result, you get petals like the one in the picture below. You will need 5 of them.
• Next you should weave 5 smaller petals. There will be only one bead at the edges pink color, in the widest part of the petal there are 3 white ones.
• The next step is to make the middle of the flower. To do this, we string a large bead onto a wire and twist the ends of the fishing line under it.

• So, all the details of our flower are ready. This is what they should all look like.
• We take our “pestles”, connect them into one, and twist the ends of the wire together.
• We screw small petals to the middle from below.

• Then, again from below, we attach larger petals to the base.
• You can do whatever you want with the leftover wire. You can twist them together, wrap them with green thread or green ribbon, and form a flower stem. You can secure the ends well and trim off the excess wire.

Weaving flowers from beads: roses

A magnificent bouquet, isn't it? You can try to weave one yourself. You can make fewer flowers, it all depends on your desire.

What you will need for work:

1. Regular copper wire
2. Green wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm
3. White, pink and green beads
4. Thick wire for making a stem
5. Floral Ribbon

Manufacturing:

• We take a wire approximately 1 m long and thread the first bead. Using the parallel weaving method, we begin to weave rows, each time increasing the number of beads in the row by 2 pieces. When you have a row with 10 beads, next row we make 11 beads. Then, we put 9 beads on each end of the wire, and pull the wire through the very first bead.

• Twist the ends of the wire. You have a triangle-shaped petal with rounded edges.
• Then we move on to making the stamens. They will need approximately 30 cm of regular copper wire. 7 pink beads should be strung on it, then 3 should be left free, and after 4 we pull the wire in the same direction, not parallel.
• Align the stamen so that it is in the middle. Next, on each side of it, you need to make one more stamen. It is very important to ensure that all three stamens fit tightly together. We twist the ends of the wire under the stamens.

• Using the parallel weaving technique, we make 6 small petals. Weaving pattern: 1,2,3,3,3,2,1.
• Next, using the same technique, we make 5 large leaves. They are made according to the scheme: 2,3,4,5,5,5,4,3,2,1.
• Then we begin to collect the petals. We twist three large petals together and twist the ends of the wire. Then, a little lower, we screw in the remaining 2 large petals. It turns out to be a twig.
• Take the green wire, step back 15 cm from the edge, and string 3 white beads. We curl the edges. It turned out to be a bud. Then, we perform 2 more such buds. We retreat from the made buds and make 3 more such buds on the same wire.

• Now that all the parts of our rose are ready, we can begin assembling it.
• Take about 40 cm of thick wire for the base, wrap the stamens on top of it, and wind the ends of the wire onto thick wire.
• We place rose petals around the stamens and twist them at the base. We also screw the small petals under the bud. We wrap the base with floral ribbon.
• Next, at the base of the stem, we screw branches with leaves and buds. Your rose is ready!

Flower beading: how to start, detailed flower weaving workshops.

Beading a most exciting activity, which has not gone out of fashion for thousands of years. In the last article we discussed in detail how to weave a beaded tree. They are simple and suitable for beginners. For those who have already acquired a small practice, they want something more complex and original.

We suggest creating with my own hands beautiful bouquet flowers. They look just as beautiful as living ones, but they will please the eye much longer (until you decide to change the composition). Interested? Then let's get started.

We will need multi-colored beads, wire, pliers and wire cutters, construction tape, thread for winding, PVA glue, and acrylic paints. And, of course, a vase in which a bouquet of glass beauty will stand.

How to weave flowers from beads for beginners?

For some reason, there is an opinion that bead weaving is a very labor-intensive, difficult craft with a difficult technique. Let us assure you that beadwork is very interesting activity with a simple technique that is accessible even to children. If you have picked up beads for the first time, we offer a flower brooch master class. Simple to implement and at the same time pleasing with the result.

Step 1

The brooch will require about 300 beads, we have them of one color, but you can take several colors, depending on the desired result. Wire, a brooch base (available at fabric stores) and the basic tool we mentioned earlier.

Step2

It is better to weave such a brooch continuously to minimize the number of wire ends. We cut the wire 125-130 cm long. We string 10 beads and pull them 10 cm from the edge. Bend it into a tight loop and twist it 2-3 times to secure it tightly.

Step3

We no longer touch the short tip. We string 20 beads on the long side and twist the large second ring tightly to the first ring on top of the first small one as in the photo.

Step4

Another 28 beads and the last large ring, creating a beautiful petal. We fix it as before.

Step5

The next ring is again 10 beads long, only move 2-3 mm away from the previous one, so that two more rings can be screwed on without any problems.

Step6

Having finished with the second petal, we move on to the third.

Step7

We weave a total of five petals.

Step8

Step9

Step10

There remains 10 cm on both sides, or a little less, but it’s not scary. We connect the first and fifth petals, twisting the ends. The gossip flower is over, all that's left is a little work to do. Difficult? I think several!

Step11

We form the middle from a button. We thread the wire through the button and secure it in the middle.

Step12

We screw the wire tightly to the base for our brooch and hide the ends, tucking them into the beads. If you leave the ends untucked, they will prick.

We form beautiful petals with our fingers and try on a new thing!

Did you like it? So, it's time to move on to no less interesting master classes for weaving more complex colors.

Daria: I came in with my child to buy him something to make with his own hands. Well, I didn’t offend myself, I bought a beading kit. Yes, I was so carried away that after a few days I bought several at once, and then I was so captivated that I also bought alluvial ones. Currently, about fifty works are ready, and six are in progress. Yes, I can't start something only after finishing the previous one. Still so exciting! But I can advise novice craftswomen - keep the sets apart, I had several mixed up, oh, I was exhausted...

Christina: I got my first experience in labor classes - weaving a keychain. A lot of time has passed since then, I learned how to weave all kinds of products. I regularly participate in exhibitions and even have clients. It’s a pity that there are only 24 hours in a day; I would devote much more to my beloved, not to a hobby, but to art, I would say. I recently started conducting master classes, and do you know what I noticed? No one went home and disappeared, everyone was carried away by this needlework, and regularly send me their creations! And I'm so happy about it! Girls, try, learn, because what we do with our hands, we do with special energy, which is very positive for our home.

   Flower (3 pcs.).

   The middle of the flower.

   Petal for the middle of the flower (4 pcs.): For the middle of the flower, weave five petals as follows.

   Wire length - 30 cm. At a distance of 5 cm from the end of the wire, make a loop of ten beads orange color transparent, eleven beads of orange color, painted from the inside (hereinafter referred to as beads No. 2). Make four more loops like this close to one another (diagram No. 1). On the remaining end of the wire, place beads No. 2 to the height of the loop. Pass the wire through the top bead of the loop. Cast on three beads No. 2 and pass the wire into the top bead of the next loop. So connect all five loops. Place beads on the wire and lower it to the bottom of the last loop. Twist the ends of the wire. The petal is ready.

   Assembling the middle of the flower: wrap a rod (diameter 1 mm) 23 cm long at one end with a white thread of 0.5 cm. Secure the thread with a drop of glue without cutting it. Bend the wrapped part into a loop with pliers and continue winding the thread three to four turns. Add a wire 20 cm long: wrap 2 cm with threads to the rod, bend 18 cm upward (Figure 1). Place yellow beads on the wire. Wrap the wire with beads in a spiral around the rod. On the third turn, screw on the first petal. Screw the next petals evenly in a circle. The last petal will be located on the sixth spiral. There are seven spirals in total. Press the end of the wire against the rod and continue winding the threads another 1 cm.

   Petal (5 pcs.): wire length - 1 m. Weave according to pattern No. 2-a. In the ninth row, at a height of two-thirds of the previous row (approximately), make loops every two beads. To do this, pass the wire from the inside to the face in the eighth row, and collect the required amount of beads for the loop. Pass the wire from the wrong side to the face through two beads from the beginning of the loop. The first loop is ready. Place beads on the next stitch again. So make the required number of loops. Finish the row with an arc, as shown in the diagram. In the last row, connect the upper central beads of the loops. Between them, place three beads on the wire for connection (see diagram No. 2-6).

   Sepals (5 pcs.): wire length - 42 cm. Weave according to pattern No. 3.

   Assembling the flower: wrap the petals in a circle to the finished middle of the flower. Each for three to four turns of thread. Wrap a sepal under each leaf. Cut a piece of wire 20 cm long. String green beads half the length. Make a loop at one end of the wire to prevent the beads from falling apart. Wrap the other end of the wire to the flower, lowering this end 3 cm along the stem.

   Secure the wire with threads under the sepals 1 cm down the stem. Move the beads placed on the wire close to the flower. Wrap this wire with beads around the stem for five turns. Remove excess beads from the wire, press the rest of the wire to the stem and continue winding the threads down 2-2.5 cm.

   Large bud: weave three petals. Wire length - 65 cm. Place 2 cm of transparent orange beads on the axle. Make a sharp leaf on two rows with these beads.

   In the third row, at a height of two-thirds of the previous row, make loops as described in the flower petal. In the last row connecting the loops, cast on orange beads, dyed from the inside. For a large bud, make five sepals. The length of the wire is 35 cm. Place ten green beads No. 11 on the axis. Weave a sharp leaf with one row of dark green beads No. 15. Screw three petals of the bud together with threads to a rod with a diameter of 1 mm. The length of the rod is 23 cm. Then wrap the sepals in a circle. Continue winding the threads down another 2 cm.

   Middle bud: cut a piece of wire 50 cm long. Thread the bead onto the wire, stepping back 5 cm from the end. The long end of the wire remains at the top. Pass the wire through the bottom of the bead to the top again. This secured the wire to the bead. String two beads of orange color, the rest - green No. 11 along the length of the bead. Pass the wire up through the hole in the bead. Repeating the steps, braid the bead with beads. Make five sepals as described in the large bud. Wrap a bead and sepals in a circle to a rod with a diameter of 1 mm. The length of the rod is 20 cm. Continue winding down 3 cm.

   Small bud (2 pcs.): weave like a medium bud. Weave the bead only with green beads. On the axis for the sepals, collect green No. 11 beads in the amount of eight pieces.

   The bush has four sizes of leaves. Take diagram No. 4 as the basis of the sheet.

   Weave a large sheet, collecting fifteen beads for the axis. Wire length -77 cm. In the next sheet, reduce the number of beads on the axis to twelve (as shown in the diagram). Wire length - 70 cm.

   The third sheet size is woven on an axis of ten beads. The number of steps is reduced to three. Wire length - 60 cm.

   The last small leaf is woven only from dark green beads No. 15. Place twelve beads on the axis, the number of steps is two. The length of the wire is 50 cm. The bush will require about fifty sheets of four sizes.

   Bush assembly.

   From the base of each sheet, wrap the green threads downwards by 1.5-2 cm. Secure the thread with a drop of glue.

   Branches with buds:

   1. Wrap a small leaf to the large bud. Wind down another 1 cm. Secure the thread with a drop of glue. Do the same with the small bud. Connect these branches with buds together. Make a winding of 0.5 cm. large leaf to the common branch of buds. Wrap another 0.5 cm. Wrap another large sheet.

   2. Tie a small bud to the middle bud. Make the winding down 0.5 cm. Add the middle sheet. Make a winding of 1 cm, add another middle sheet. Continue wrapping 1 cm. Wrap one large sheet and continue wrapping the stem another 2 cm.

   Small branches: wrap a middle leaf to a small leaf. Wind down another 1.5 cm. Next, wind the next sheet.

   Small branches can be collected from three to five leaves. From the last leaf to the bottom of the branch, make a winding of 1-1.5 cm. Secure the thread with a drop of glue and cut it off.

   Large branches:

   1. Screw a small branch to the flower. Make a winding down 2.5 cm. Screw another small branch onto the other. Using floral tape, attach a rod with a diameter of 2 mm. The length of the rod is 7 cm. Continue winding the threads along the floral tape for 0.5 cm. Screw on a small branch. Make another 1 cm of winding.

   2. Also make a second branch with the second flower.

   3. Screw two small branches on both sides to the third flower. The distance between them is 1 cm. From the lower branches of the small branch, make a winding of 1 cm. Screw on the branch with the medium and small bud. Make the winding down 0.5 cm. Attach the rod as described in the previous thread.

   4. Attach one small branch to the branch with the large and small bud. Make a winding down 0.5 cm. Attach the rod as described in the branch with the flower.

   Tie all four large branches to each other using wire. Straighten the crown of the bush as desired. Cover the trunk of the bush with plastic. Let it dry and harden. Paint the trunk acrylic paint. After drying, coat with varnish. Prepare the pot. Stir the alabaster and pour into the bowl. Put up a bush. Hold it until the alabaster hardens (about 5 minutes). Be sure to read the training material for tips on pouring alabaster. Decorate the “soil” with pebbles, moss, or paint with acrylic paint. ​

2. Scheme of weaving an Anthurium flower from beads ​

   First make a pestle. You need to make a winding of golden beads around the wire. Place it on the wire and, as shown in diagram 1-2, make revolutions around the axis. The pestle should be approximately 3 cm long.

   Now we begin to weave the main petal of the anthurium. We start with the main row, which consists of the 21st beads; you need to weave it as shown in the diagram in Fig. 3-4. Next, you need to cut another wire and embed it into the fifth bead (Fig. 5). Place 7 red beads on both ends and pass them through the sixth bead of the central row. You now have two loops on both sides. Continue this way, collecting the number of beads indicated in the diagram in Fig. 5.

   The last six loops must be crossed as shown in Fig. 5. At the end, you need to give all the loops the appearance of a petal; to do this, you need to go along the edge of the petal through all the outer beads of the loops and insert the required number of beads between them, as indicated in the diagram in Fig. 6.

   A very unusual method of loop stitching with a central row. But it's not difficult to figure it out. At the end, tape the anthurium to the stem, wrap it with green floral tape, insert the flowers with leaves into the pot, you can fill them with plaster and decorate with moss.​

3. Lavender flower made of beads. ​

   So, to work on a sprig of lavender we will need green and purple beads, thin wire and thicker wire for the rod, and floral tape. It is also worth thinking in advance about what kind of vase you will place this creation in. It is better to choose one with a narrow neck so that the flowers are located as close to each other as possible.

   It’s good if you have a whole spool of wire, string a lot of purple beads onto it. Weaving in sections is not so pleasant, because it takes too much time. Well, we begin to form inflorescences.

   We look carefully at the photographs, although in reality there is nothing complicated. We will make the flowers themselves using the loop method. To do this, we retreat from the edge of the wire by 10, or preferably 12 cm, and form the first loop of 9 beads. The next loops will be slightly smaller, 7 beads. The left tail will act as an axis to which the loops are attached.​

   We fit 7 beads to the very first loop and form a loop, one end of which is secured to the left axis.​

   We make 10 such small loops, pressing them as tightly as possible to each other.​

   Now we expand the inflorescence, that is, we make loops of 9 beads in each. You will need 20 more of them.​

   And the last row of loops, to give the inflorescence a rounded shape, add 3 loops of 11 beads each.

   In general, all that remains is to prepare the leaves. Five for each inflorescence. Making them is also not difficult, parallel weaving, which starts with one bead, then one row of 2, 9 rows of three, and again we go in descending order - 2 beads and one.​

   All that remains is to assemble a branch using a thicker wire as a stem, and decorate it with floral ribbon. The number of branches depends on the size of the selected vase. So go for it.​

   This is how easy lavender beading became a beautiful beaded flower. ​

4. Bouquet of beaded flowers. ​

   
   You will need:
   - White beads
   - Yellow beads
   - Green beads
   - Wire 0.3 mm
   - Wide tape in a box
   - Leaves and twigs for decoration
   - Stem or thick wire

   1. We begin weaving the center of the flower. We need to make a bunch, to do this, put 9 yellow beads on the wire and go back through the next 8 beads, you have one stamen, make exactly the same stamen next to it and repeat this about 25 times. The bunch of stamens is ready.

   2. Now we weave a flower petal. To do this, according to scheme 2, pass through 4 beads using a parallel technique, then put a white bead on both ends, then separate the ends and collect 7 white beads on each. Connect the ends again and put a green bead on them.

   3. We begin weaving the arcs of the petal. Place 2 green and 10 white beads on the working end of the wire, go up and go through the fourth bead of the first row (Fig. 3).

   4. Continue weaving arcs according to the diagram in Fig. 4. When the petal is ready, twist the ends of the wires. One flower consists of a center and five such petals. Place all the petals around the center, wrap them with wire, and attach the flower to the stem.

   This bouquet consists of three flowers, branches of green beads, woven into a simple coral technique. The entire composition can be wrapped with a completely different ribbon or special paper, it all depends on your imagination.

   Pattern for weaving a flower from beads:
   

5. Flowers Pansies from beads with your own hands. ​

   Materials you will need for your work:

   Round pink beads No. 11
   - Round opaque yellow beads No. 11
   - Round brown opaque beads No. 11
   - Copper wire 0.3 mm
   - Stems or pieces of wire 1.5-2 mm in diameter
   - Artificial green leaves, twigs
   - Satin ribbons 5mm wide, for decoration
   - Pot for flowers
   - Nippers and scissors
   - Green floral ribbon

   Pansies consist of three types of petals, according to scheme 1 you need to make 2 petals, according to scheme 2 there are also 2 petals, and according to scheme 3 only one. We weave the first petal. We collect 3 yellow beads and 27 pink beads onto the wire, bend them into a loop and pass from top to bottom through the top yellow bead, collect 2 more yellow beads and 29 pink ones, bend the loop and pass from top to bottom through 2 yellow beads. The next loop is woven in the same way, with 2 yellow beads and 31 pink beads. Now repeat all the loops in reverse order.

   Now we will frame the petal, to do this, cut another small piece of wire and pass it from bottom to top through the outermost 3 yellow beads and 2 pink ones, then pick up 12 pink beads, pass through the top bead of the first loop and pick up 4 pink ones, again pass through the top bead of the next one loops and cast on 3 pink beads. Proceed further according to this principle (see the hint in the diagram in Fig. 1). We finish the framing the same way we started.

   All subsequent petals are woven using the same principle, first with loops according to the pattern, then framed with additional wire. Adjust the color of the petal yourself by adding brown beads at the base of the petal, weave the base with yellow beads, and the edges with pink (see photo of the finished petal).​

   Pattern for weaving a flower from beads:​

   You can wrap the stem of a flower in various ways, the simplest is to wrap it with floral tape, it sticks itself and is perfect for this job. You can also wrap the stem with green threads, this will take more time and you will need to glue the ends of the threads so that the winding does not unravel. And the third option is to cut from green corrugated paper strips 1 cm wide, and gluing with glue, wrap the leg and stem of a flower or tree.​

   So we take 2 petals according to scheme 1, then on both sides we add a petal according to scheme 2 and in the center between them we insert 1 petal according to scheme 3. We twist all the ends of the wires together, wind the flower to the stem, and wrap it with floral tape. The finished flower can be planted in a pot, decorated with artificial leaves, twigs and satin ribbons. ​

6. Core

   The core of the snowdrop is made from 4 stamens using the loop beading technique. We need a wire 20cm long. 44 white beads and 8 yellow beads. We string 5 white, 1 yellow, 1 white, 1 yellow, 5 white onto the wire in sequence. Let's make a loop. Thus, for one flower we need 4 such bead loops.

   Leaves are small

   For one flower we need to weave 2 small leaves from green beads. The sheets are woven using the parallel weaving technique. In order to weave a small sheet of flowers from beads, we need a wire 60 cm long and 95 green beads. Weaving pattern small leaf snowdrop beads: 1-2-3-4-5 (make 15 rows) - 4-3-2-1

   The leaves are large

   For one flower we will weave 1 large snowdrop leaf. The leaf will be in two halves to give it a close resemblance to the natural snowdrop leaf. Let's take a wire 80 cm long. Scheme of the first part: 1 (2 rows) - 2 (2 rows) - 3 (2 rows) - 4 (18 rows) - 3 (2 rows) - 2 (2 rows) - 1 (2 rows). The second half is woven according to the same formula, however, during the weaving process it is joined to the first half row by row.

   Assembling snowdrops from beads

   We assemble our snowdrop flower from beads. Insert the core into the cup of the flower. We intertwine the wires from the parts of the flower. Attach the small leaves then the large leaf. Coat the stem of the flower with glue. Carefully wrap the stem with green ribbon or thread.

   Thus, we make 5 – 7 flowers from beads. We collect them in a bouquet. Beaded flowers can be placed in a vase or “planted” in a pot. In order to plant in a pot, the materials we will need are alabaster with glue and a small pot. We make loops at the end of the flower stems. Prepare a mixture of alabaster and glue. Pour the mixture into the pot, insert our bouquet of snowdrops, and put artificial moss on top. We wait until it dries completely. Now our beaded flowers look great.

7. Sunflowers made of beads. ​

   Very simple beaded sunflowers. They are not large and do not require much skill, all you need is knowledge of the French circular weaving technique and necessary materials. The sunflower is very sunny and beautiful, it will fit perfectly into any interior and fill the room with a sunny mood.

   Materials for weaving sunflowers:

   Beads No. 10 green transparent with mother of pearl
   - Beads No. 10 yellow opaque
   - Beads No. 10 brown transparent or “light”
   - Silver wire or to match the color of each bead 0.3 mm
   - Green threads or floral ribbon
   - Wire 1-2 mm for the leg
   - Scissors and nippers

   1. Weave the main row of yellow petals. Place 20 yellow beads on the wire and make a loop.
   2. Cast on 20 yellow beads again and cross the two loops to form a petal.
   3. Back off 1 cm and make exactly the same petal. There should be 12 petals in total.
   4. Connect and twist the wires at both ends.

   5. Weave the middle. Make a small loop, pick up 2 beads, retreat 2 cm and make a large loop. And start weaving the round center from brown beads.
   6. Make 4 full turns, adding beads as needed, the main thing is to avoid gaps between the arcs. Sew the finished circle exactly horizontally.

   7. Weaving sepals. Cast on 10 green beads and make a loop.
   8. Next to this loop, make 6 more of the same loops.
   9. Connect the ends of the wire and twist them together.

   10. Weave green leaves. We collect 3 beads on the first axis and weave a pointed sheet. Perform 6 or 7 full rotations around the central axis.
   11. Sew the finished sheet with wire. Weave 2 smaller leaves and one larger one.​

   
   12. Assembling a sunflower. Insert the round center into the circle of petals and twist all the wires together.
   13. Now insert the flower into the sepals, twist the wires.
   14. Wrap the flower stem with floral tape or thread.
   15. Place a thick wire leg and continue winding the stem.
   16. You also need to wrap the stems of the leaves.
   17. Attach the leaves to the stem of the sunflower, retreating the required distance (Fig. 17).
   
   Weave several of these sunflowers and place them in a vase. The bouquet is ready!

8. How to care for beaded flowers.

   Beaded flowers are a joy to behold, they don't need sunlight, they don't need to be watered and they don't need fertilizer! But they also need care.
   - If the flowers are slightly dusty, gently brush them with a soft brush. Using a cloth moistened with glass cleaning liquid, thoroughly wipe each petal.
   - If the flowers need to be washed, give them a light shower under the tap. Dry the flowers as soon as possible either with paper towels or with a hair dryer set on low.
   - If you want, move the flowers to another vase, but remember that they are heavy. Fill this new vase with marbles or pebbles to keep it from tipping over.
   - If the cat knocks over the bouquet, don’t worry! You can easily restore the shape of each petal damaged by the fall and install the flower in its original place.

9. Beaded flower PEONY.​

   1. Selection of wire when making flowers:

   What recommendations can you give regarding materials for weaving flowers from beads? First of all, the thickness of the wire is important. It depends on the part of the flower for which the wire is used. The outer petals are larger, therefore, the diameter of the wire should be larger - 0.4 mm. And for small inner petals you can use wire 0.3 mm thick. It is best to buy the wire in spools, but if you wish, you can carefully untangle the stranded copper wire by first removing the braid.
   The wire may show through between the beads, so it is better to use colored wire for beading. You can buy a ready-made one, or you can carefully paint ordinary wire with inexpensive nail polish - it will be cheaper. The color of the wire is matched to the color of the beads. The stem requires a thick braided wire. Aluminum wire is cheaper and softer than copper wire.

   2. Materials for production:

   Beads No. 8 matte peach and emerald colors.
   - The wire is thin; medium thickness wire (or metal rods).
   - Green silk thread.
   - PVA glue.
   - Scissors.
   - Pliers.
   - Vase.
   - Alabaster.
   - Decorative stones.

   3. Sequence of performing fishing:

   Weaving petals
   The petals are woven using the circular weaving technique according to the patterns in Fig. 1, 2 and 3 made of peach-colored beads.
   You need to collect the required number of beads on the wire (middle row), then make a fixing loop (Fig. 1), and then string several beads of the next row onto the free end of the wire (Fig. 2).
   The fixing loop must be made smooth, neat and small, so that when completing the ring rows it does not peek out.
   In each new row the number of beads must be increased (Fig. 3).
   At the end of the weaving, bring the end of the wire through the middle row, twist the ends of the wire, but do not cut it. Complete 5 circular rows.
   For each bud you need to make 2 petals.​

   Weaving leaves
   Weave the leaves similarly to the petals according to the diagrams in Fig. 1, 2 and 3 from emerald beads.
   Make 4 round rows. You need to make 3 petals.

   Assembly
   Collect flowers: attach 2 petals to each other, spread them to form an unopened bud. If there are no metal rods, then twist 3 stems from medium-thick wire, attach flowers and one leaf to them.
   Wrap the stems with thread. To make the thread fit more tightly to the wire, coat the wire with a small amount of PVA glue. Place the flowers in a pot and fill it with alabaster. Place decorative stones on the top layer of alabaster. Wait for the alabaster to dry. ​

10. MK with photos daisy made of beads.

    To make a daisy from beads we will need:
    - yellow beads No. 8;
    - white beads No. 8;
    - green beads No. 8;
    - wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm and 0.5-0.6 mm;
    - fishing line;
    -green floss thread;
    - plastic bottle.
    Take a bottle and cut out a circle with a diameter of approximately 2-4 cm.
    Then we pierce holes in it with an awl all over the plate, so that the holes are made in a circle. The base for our chamomile is ready.

Today we will look at some of the most simple circuits for beginners in bead weaving. These diagrams with descriptions will help you understand the basic principles of creating fragile and delicate flowers from beads, on the basis of which you can invent and make your own unique bouquets. Each such schematic picture is a small master class for beginners and experienced needlewomen; if you learn to read beading patterns, you can easily weave any flower, guided only by the diagram without a description.

Lessons on creating flowers from beads using patterns

Master class No. 1: Forget-me-nots

Remember the cute and touching flowers - forget-me-nots. For these colors, three colors of beads are used: dark blue or bright blue, yellow and soft green. The flower is absolutely simple to make. 6 beads are strung onto a piece of wire (about 10 cm): 1 yellow and 5 blue, as can be seen in the diagram. The free end of the wire is threaded into the second, third, fourth blue bead, then into the yellow one. The ends of the wire are twisted under the yellow bead. The flower is ready. Green leaf We perform according to pattern “c”: transverse weaving in 7 rows. Combine several flowers onto one stem, attach leaves and the mini bouquet is ready.
Master class No. 2: Daisies

For a bouquet of wildflowers you will definitely need daisies. It will take more time to create a field daisy with your own hands than to create forget-me-nots. But no flower can replicate the true Russian beauty of the charming daisy. The set of beads is almost the same, only replace the blue beads with matte white ones.
10-12 petals are woven from white beads according to pattern “a”. It is better to take silver wire. The core can be made according to the same pattern as the forget-me-not flower. The chamomile leaves are more complex and carved than in the first pattern. The more interesting the finished flower will look.
Master class No. 3: Bells

Wildflowers are beautiful and simple, like nature itself. If you were picking flowers in the field, you would certainly come across fragile and naive bells. Their natural color ranges from soft blue to deep purple. Therefore, you can choose the beads in the color that you like best. According to pattern “a” you need to weave only 5 petals, since you will collect them in a cup, repeating the shape of a bell. Then you need to make a stamen from yellow or burgundy beads, depending on the color of the petals. The wire itself, on which the stamen is formed, will become the basis for the entire flower. Therefore, its length must be sufficient. A bell is gathered around the stamen, and a green leaf made according to the “c” pattern is attached to the stem below.
Master class No. 4: Lily A gentle and shy snow-white lily will successfully complete your first bouquet, created entirely with your own hands.


To make a lily, you will need the same set of beads as for daisies. Only the lily is a larger flower, which means more beads will be required. The patterns for making the petals and leaves for the lily are similar to the patterns for the bells. Only beaded flowers have different stamens. The lily has three of them, one long and two shorter. Diagram “b” shows the number of beads for the stamens, and to make them thicker, the wire with yellow beads is twisted in a tight spiral.
Now that all the flowers for the bouquet are ready, you can make additional greenery of any size from green beads to revive the wildflowers. You can assemble a bouquet in a vase or basket at will, and you can make different variations of bouquets depending on your mood and occasion.
Flower made of beads and bugles

We present to you a photo of a flower made in three rows of bugles and beads. The middle is a large bead.
A weaving pattern is not required for such a product, since the photo clearly shows how the flower is made. By varying the size, color and type of beads, even using this pattern you can create different flowers.
You can do anything using this principle. Elements of missing greenery, dragonfly wings or a flower for a hairpin and brooch.
Schemes are required for complex compositions, for example, for techniques such as mosaic weaving.
Master class No. 5: Rose in mosaic technique

It’s worth saying right away that making such a flower from beads is not entirely easy. The work ahead is painstaking and difficult, but the result is worth all the effort. The rose turns out voluminous and lively, especially if you use 2-3 shades of red and green beads to create a flower.
For a beautiful and natural beaded rose you will need:

• beading needle;
• nylon thread or fishing line;
• red and green beads of different shades;
• base for the stem (rod or wire 2-3 mm thick);
• scissors;
• round base with holes.

Let's start our master class with a description of how to make leaves for a rose. The size of such sheets can be made in different sizes. You can strictly follow the pattern below using two shades of green beads. Moreover, the color can vary from dark green to light green. For our case, we will slightly change the color scheme. Let's mix two shades of bright green mother-of-pearl beads and thread the beads onto the needle in random order.


For a rose you will need three leaves, which are sewn to a side branch, as seen in the photo. To help the leaves and petals keep their shape better, use a thread or fishing line 0.2 mm thick. When you start weaving a part, the first row will not be completely even. This is how it should be, continue weaving according to the pattern, and after 2-3 rows the element will begin to take the desired shape.
Next, the master class moves on to weaving a green leaf. You need to start from the middle. First, one half of the sheet is woven, then the second. If you use more than two shades of green, make sure they are close in tone.
Then we start weaving the sepals. In roses they are elongated and thin. Weaving them is not difficult. They are sewn at the very end of the work around the perimeter of the finished flower.
Now let's talk about the petals. They may be different shapes, you can create a diagram for them yourself. They weave in the same way as leaves, starting from the center to the edges. First you need to make one half, then the other. In the two pictures you see two striking examples of mosaic beading of rose petals. You can try any of them, each is worthy of attention. They are slightly different in shape and color scheme, but each of the schemes will help you create a beautiful beaded rose. Now let's take a closer look at weaving petals.




If you want to make the rose shown in the photo, then you will need the following number of petals: one small, three slightly larger petals, five medium and seven largest petals. The first rose petal is vertically twisted into a tube, the remaining petals are collected in order around it.
To weave a pink bud, you can take the diagram presented below. She shows in detail step by step execution petals. The petals shown in other diagrams are woven using the same principle. Often there is a rose and an unopened bud on the same branch. Don't forget to frame your flower with sepals, like a full-fledged rose.


You can decorate the rose stem in different ways.

Wrap the rod with corrugated or tissue paper. To do this, you will first need to screw all the elements of the finished flower to the stem, wrap them with any strong thread and coat them with PVA glue. Paper is the most suitable material for beginning craftswomen;

Continuous entwining of the rod with green thread. This way you can hide all the ends of the wire, but the thread must be selected close in color to the green beads;

Method of average complexity: entwining the stem with a thread strung with beads. The complexity of this method lies in the fragility of the structure;

Beading directly around the stem. This option for creating a stem is very labor-intensive and requires skill. But the overall impression of the flower will be the most natural.

Examples of weaving using mosaic techniques





Not only roses, but also many flowers and trees are made using the mosaic technique. Moreover, the same type of flower, made in various techniques and color shades is good in its own way. Poppies, dahlias, asters, gladioli, apple blossoms and sakura look very original using the mosaic technique. Flowers due to tight weaving and carefully designed color solutions look extremely natural.
Not only flowers, but also green tree leaves made using this technique look believable and colorful. If you are bored and have a lot of free time, make a maple bead autumn leaf, which with its colors will delight you even on the gloomiest and stormiest day. And the fact that you made it with your own hands will warm and cheer you up in bad weather.



Thus, flowers, trees and branches with the help of beading will appear in your collection.
You can also weave the most beautiful butterfly or bright beetle from beads.

Beading trees and decorations

Another direction of beadwork was the art of bonsai. Small trees in pots will be appropriate on any desk, and do not require any maintenance. A tree in a pot can be given as a gift or woven for sale; now handmade is very highly valued.






It has also become possible to make jewelry with your own hands using beadwork. Moreover, jewelry can be made in any color and to suit any style of outfit. Flower necklaces and curly earrings made using mosaic techniques or combined from small elements into three-dimensional compositions look very beautiful.

On our website you will find many lessons and master classes on different types and beading techniques. Based on them, you can create something new and unique.
Using video trainings, you will be able to examine this or that weaving technique in dynamics. But this does not mean that you do not need photo instructions; they will also help you in learning a new type of needlework, but from a different perspective. If in the video you do not look at all the weaving steps, then in the photo it is much easier to do it. At the same time, the video lesson is accompanied by voice-over comments and more detailed explanations of technical subtleties.
Nowadays, people are spoiled by different techniques and styles of decor in the interior, but only beadwork allows you to create almost any fantasy in volumetric design, which helps to complement a boring interior with picturesque and unique details.

Today at step-by-step master class we will tell you how to weave a very beautiful, but at the same time the simplest flower from beads using detailed diagram for beginners with photos.

Tools and materials Time: 1 hour Difficulty: 2/10

• thin wire for working with beads;
• thicker wire for the stem;
• beads of different colors;
• floral tape.

Make one like this beautiful flower Even a novice craftsman can make beads! Go for it! 😉

Bright juicy flowers do not please the eye for long! Photographs and drawings, as well as, of course, beads, help us preserve the memory of flowering plants. Other interesting schemes and master classes on beaded flowers for beginners can be found in a special section of our website.

Weaving pattern

In total we will need 5 petals made using the parallel weaving technique.

Step 1: make a petal

To form one petal, we string one bead onto a piece of wire, move it to the center of the piece, and cross both tails of the wire in the next two beads. In the next row we cross the threads in three beads.

In this way we continue to weave until the number of beads for one row increases to 6 pieces. After this, you can already reduce the number of beads for each row.

As a result, you get a narrow thin petal, which we put aside. In total, as already mentioned, you will need 5 petals.

Step 2: weaving leaves

Next we form the leaves.

• To do this, string 6 beads onto a piece of wire, and cross the threads in the next string of 6 green beads.
• We tighten all this, and string 4 more beads onto the upper tail. We insert them into the center of the resulting circle.
• Carefully twist the tails of the wire together and set the resulting sheet aside.

We collect five ready-made leaves, twist them, and set them aside.

Step 3: making the stamens

Now you can work on the stamens of the flower. They are carried out according to the scheme. As the upper part of the stamens, you can use small 4 mm beads or bicones of the same size.

Step 4: collect the flower

When all the details are ready, you can assemble our simplest beaded flower. We simply twist the petals together, with the stamens in the center, and wrap it all around a stem made of thicker wire. We screw our leaves to it.

Floral tape is used to hide the twists and decorate the wire. It wraps the trunk and petals, giving the product uniformity.

So, we just managed to weave a flower from beads quite easily. Did you succeed? Share examples of your work in the comments!

A great activity for at least 2 reasons:

1) We protect nature and preserve it in its pristine beauty, because plants are alive and how you and I feel pain! Therefore, let's be aware and sensitive to the world around us.

2) And just you can object, how can you admire flowers if you don’t pick them, because you can’t always go into nature. This is where weaving flowers from beads will come in very handy, which you can admire endlessly and gain energy from the memory that you created such a creature with your own hands.
