Recently, it has become important to decorate the interior of your apartment with various crafts made from beads. This original and unusual element is able to emphasize the individuality and creativity of the owner of the house. Beading is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, but it still requires perseverance and concentration.

In contact with

Almost every person can master the techniques of weaving flowers with their own hands. Of course, making complex and large flowers can take a lot of time, but the result will exceed all expectations. For beginning needlewomen, it is important to learn to understand patterns for weaving and assembling craft elements. Thanks to attentiveness and effort, you will learn how to create unique and beautiful ones, just from beads and wire. They can decorate clothes and accessories or make bouquets and paintings.

Even the simplest works should be assembled using diagrams. It is important to keep in mind that the final appearance of the product will depend not only on the skills of the craftswoman, but also on the color, shape and size of the beads.

Materials for work

The main feature of beads is its versatility. From it, in addition to standard ones and decorations, you can create various compositions, from several flowers to a lush bouquet or an entire flower basket. Such products make great gifts for any occasion.

The creation of masterpieces should begin with the acquisition of materials.

You will need:

beads (the color and quantity will need to be determined independently, based on the desired result);
copper wire 0.3 millimeters thick or fishing line;
scissors or nippers;
for stems - wooden skewers or thick wire, thread or green satin.

Choosing beads

Beads are small beads with narrow through holes. Their the color range is very diverse. In craft stores you can find bright and pale, matte, pearlescent and transparent materials for creativity, as well as solidly colored or simply lightly dusted with paint.

Bead quality First of all, it depends on the manufacturer. For example, Chinese has a low price, but it is still not good enough. Such material may be poorly colored, holes are often missing, and the beads have different sizes and shapes.

Czech and Japanese companies are rightfully considered the best manufacturers. Their products are characterized by a smooth and neat surface, as well as minimum percentage of defects.

Of course, you can train and do your first works with Chinese beads. But when making large and beautiful things or gifts, it is better to switch to Czech and Japanese materials. You will also need wire or fishing line for crafts. Fishing line is used to create three-dimensional products; it allows you to give the desired shape, for example, when weaving lush roses from beads. On a wire frame you get stiffer beaded flowers.

Color schemes for beginners

Let's get acquainted with the simplest ways to weave flowers. They are perfect for beginner needlewomen to learn the basics of beading. There are many different weaving techniques for DIY beadwork, the most popular of which are parallel and French.

Forget-me-not

First you need to put six beads on the wire. The first of them is yellow, the other five are blue.
The free end of the wire is pulled through 2, 3 and 4 beads, and then into the yellow one - the very first one.
The end of the wire is twisted under the yellow bead. The first flower is ready!

Make as many buds as you need to create a full-fledged flower or even a whole basket of forget-me-nots. After this, proceed to weaving the leaf:

Place three green beads on the wire and move them to the middle.
Pull the wire through beads 2 and 3. Thus, you have two first rows, there will be eight in total.
Place three beads on the wire, pull it through the beads of the previous row, and then through the three collected ones. This will give you the third row.
The remaining rows are done in the same way. This method of beading is called parallel. To create the fourth and fifth rows you will need to cast on 4 beads. For the sixth - three, for the seventh - two. For the eighth, only one bead will be enough.
Using twisting, secure the wire at the base of the leaf. Make as many of them as you need for your composition and connect all the parts to form a bouquet.
If you want to decorate the stem, wrap it with thick green threads or satin ribbon of the same color.

Beaded Lily

It will be quite easy for you to make such a flower; it is also made using the parallel weaving technique. For this craft we will need large beads for the middle and beads of two colors to make the petals.

The first, second and third rows consist only of pink beads.
Fourth row - two pink, 1 white and 2 pink beads.
In each subsequent row, the sequence is maintained, but one white bead is added.
This weaving continues until the middle row, which will contain five white beads. The remaining rows are performed in the same way, but the white beads are now not added, but decreased by one.
You should end up with a petal like the one in the photo above. You will need five of them for one flower.

Now we need to weave five more petals, but smaller ones. They are woven similarly to large ones, but there should be only one pink bead at the edges, and the widest part of the petal (middle row) should consist of three white ones. As a result, you will get blanks, as in the photo above.

The next stage of our work will be the pistil - the middle of the flower. To make them we will need five medium-sized beads. To do this, put one bead on a wire and twist the ends together right under it, as in the photo.

Now all the parts for our lily are ready, all that remains is to put them together to make a beautiful flower.

Connect the bead pestles together by twisting the ends of the wire together.
Screw small petals to the resulting center of the flower.
Now attach large petals at the bottom.

The remaining wire can be just cut or form a stem from them, wrapped with thread or green ribbon.

The resulting lilies can be decorated with leaves made using the same technique.

Gorgeous roses

Using the parallel weaving technique, you can create an entire basket of large and lush roses without much effort.

Chamomile (parallel weaving)

Lovers of these plants will be pleased to receive a bouquet as a gift that will never wither and will delight the eye for a long time.

Weave 10-12 petals using the parallel technique using white beads.
Make a round center from yellow beads, and leaves from green beads, based on the diagram above.
When all the chamomile parts are ready, collect them together. To do this, connect the white petals together with wire, placing the yellow center inside. Wrap the leaves to the wire base.

Your chamomile is ready!

Chamomile (French technique)

Chamomile is quite easy to weave from beads even for novice needlewomen, and there are many step-by-step patterns for making this flower. In addition to parallel weaving, another simple way to create a field daisy is the French weaving technique. Even children will have no difficulty mastering this method.

The French technique involves weaving beaded arcs, from which elements of fakes are then obtained. Each element has the shape of a kind of “boat” (from the center to the edge), due to which you can get a pleasant pattern and the necessary volume. Bouquets of flowers created using this technique look just like real ones.

French weaving is not recommended to be done on fishing line, as it does not have elasticity, which is why the resulting flowers do not hold their shape well.

Prepare wire and beads of yellow, green and white colors.
Cut a piece of wire 25 centimeters long and put 15 white beads on it.
Bend it in half and, after missing the first bead, thread the free end through the entire row.
String 17 white beads onto both free ends of the wire.
Pull the wire through the very first bead and tighten.
Now dial 19 beads on both ends and repeat step 5.
You should end up with a white petal. So you will need 6-8 more pieces.
Cut a piece of wire 30 centimeters long, put 3 yellow beads on it and make a loop.
Place 5 beads of the same color on the working end, press them tightly to the previous row and twist the wire around the free end.
Repeat step 9, but on the other side of the central (first row).
In the same way, weave two more rows on each side using 8 beads.
Repeat step 11, but when doing this, collect 10 beads each.
You will get a voluminous round center for the chamomile.
To make a cup, put a lot of green beads on a piece of wire and twist them into several loops about 1.5 centimeters long.
Assembling the flower: connect all the petals, placing the yellow center in the center. Attach a green cup to the bottom of the daisy.

Simple beaded flower

With the help of a step-by-step master class with photos, you can easily and quickly master making roses from beads and form a beautiful bouquet from them.

For this craft you will need thin wire and one pack of green and pink beads.

Place nine pink beads on the wire and form a petal loop. Make three loops like in the photo.
Place 7 more such beads on the free end of the wire and pull it through the fifth bead of the nearest loop.
Pick up 2 pink beads and thread the wire through the fifth bead of the center loop.
Now pick up seven beads again and pull the wire through the lowest bead of the third loop.
In this way, form 4 more petals and connect all five together, twisting them into a bud.
Make the leaves using the rolling method, based on the photo. This technique is called French weaving and is very popular among beginning needlewomen because of its ease of execution.
Attach the resulting leaves to the bud. The flower is ready!

If you show diligence and accuracy in such work, then over time you can master different weaving techniques and learn how to create magnificent crafts for decorating your apartment or as gifts.

Many fashionistas love beaded jewelry made with their own hands because they are incredibly beautiful and original. No one will have a second decoration like this.

We present to your attention weaving patterns of the most beautiful flowers.

What you will need:

5 colors of beads;
beads;
special needles for beads;
fishing line 0.19 mm;
pliers;
scissors;
petal diagram.

Weaving technique

You can weave using brick or mosaic techniques.

To begin with, we will make 10 petals according to the first scheme and 5 pieces according to the second.

We take a fishing line a little more than a meter long. Place a stop bead in the middle and string 18 pieces. beads

We insert the needle into the fourth bead from the end and make a second row, adding one bead at a time of the desired color.

We move on to the third row, weaving in accordance with the photo.

Having finished the 3rd row, we begin to add along the edge of the petal at the top.

First, let's string 4 pieces. beads and thread the needle into the very first bead.

We tighten the line and add one more thing, thread the needle into the last bead of the 3rd row. Let's move on to weaving the fourth.

We completed the fourth row.

We begin to reduce the lower edge of the petal. We thread the needle into the beads of the fourth row.

We complete the row and tighten the line. We begin to weave the fifth row

We begin to weave the top of the half petal. We string 2 pieces. beads and insert the needle into the outer bead of the fifth row.

We tighten the line and begin to weave 6 rows.

We continue to reduce the bottom of the petal. We thread the needle into the outermost beads of the sixth row. Pull and tighten the line.

Let's move on to the seventh row.

We finish the 7th row.

We return to the top of the petal. We string 2 pieces. beads and thread the needle through the outermost bead of the 7th row. We tighten the line and begin the 8th row. When finished, reduce the bottom part. We thread the needle through the outermost beads of the eighth row and move on to the ninth.

We completed the ninth row.

Let's move on to the top edge. We string two beads and bring the needle to the outermost piece of the 9th row. We start the 10th row.

We lower the bottom: thread the needle into the last bead of the 10th row, pull it out and tighten the fishing line.

We make the 11th row.

We weave the top. We string one bead and move the needle to the outermost one of the previous row. We tighten and move on to the twelfth.

We decrease the bottom: we pass the needle into the last bead of the 12th row, tighten it and weave the 13th.

We begin to reduce the top edge. We pass the needle to the outermost bead of the 13th row. We tighten and begin the fourteenth row.

Insert the needle into the outermost bead of the last row and tighten.

We pass the line again through the last row to bring it up.

We align the edges with additional beads in order to make the edge smoother.

We thread the fishing line deep into the petal for 10-12 beads and cut it off.

Remove the stop bead and move on to weaving the second half of the petal. We repeat all the above steps, starting from the 3rd row. Upon completion, we bring the fishing line into the lower outer beads.

Let's start connecting the petals.

The fishing line ended up at the bottom of the first petal. Insert the needle into the outermost bead of the next petal upwards and tighten.

We return the needle to the first petal and bring it out through the second bead of the second petal. The line should always go up.

We insert the fishing line into the 2nd bead of the first petal.

We return it to the 2nd outermost bead of the second petal and tighten it.

Thus we continue to connect the third and fourth petals. We pass the fishing line through 10-12 beads of the second petal and cut it off. You should get five petals connected in a circle.

We weave two circles and fold them so that in the gap between the two petals the middle of the petal of the next row is visible.

Now we need to sew the circles together.

We also connect the small petals made according to the second scheme, but not in a circle. We fold them into the center of the flower.

We move on to securing the entire flower.

We connect the small middle with the large flower.

The fifth small petal should be placed diagonally.

We begin to decorate with large beads or crystals.

The flower is ready.

This flower is woven according to a simplified pattern. The central petals are missing the bottom two rows. In this case, the hole in the center is slightly larger, and more beads may be needed for decoration.

Decorating the core

We attach one and a half meters of fishing line to the base of the flower.

We pass the needle into the middle bead of the bottom row of the small petal. We put a large bead and beads on the fishing line, return the needle to the bead with beads and insert it into the beads from which the fishing line came. We tighten it.

We pass the needle into the middle bead at the bottom of the next petal.

We repeat in the same way as with the first large bead until we reach the petal that was secured last.

We draw the line in the bottom row of the very last petal.

Sew on large beads until you have the required number.

We wrap the bases of the beads so that they do not move. Upon completion, thread the needle into any lower bead of the petal.

So that the middle does not have gaps, add more beads and bring the line down.

We tighten and stretch the fishing line through several beads into the middle of the petal. Let's cut it off.

Our magic flower is ready.

Treat yourself to an original piece of jewelry. You will definitely not see the same accessory on anyone else.

A little dexterity and patience - and a stylish DIY decoration is ready.

Master class with photos. Making and decorating beaded flowers for gifts.

DIY gift for grandma for her granddaughter's birthday. Master class with detailed description and photos.

Sinotenko Alina, 11 years old, student of the “Handicraft” association at the Lesnovsky Children’s Art Center.
Supervisor: teacher of additional education Novichkova Tamara Aleksandrovna MBU DO Lesnovsky House of Children's Creativity.
Description of work: The master class will be useful to everyone who loves to work with beads and wants to please loved ones with a handmade gift.
Purpose: gift, interior decoration.
Target: making flowers from beads using the parallel weaving technique.
Tasks:
- learn to make flowers from beads using a weaving pattern;
- show parallel weaving techniques;
- develop fine motor skills, imagination, artistic taste, the ability to beautifully present a gift;
- to cultivate a desire to work with beads, creating unusual, individual crafts, accuracy, hard work, love of creativity, attention and care for loved ones.

Materials and tools:

Red and green beads;
- wire for beads;
- green corrugated paper, PVA glue;
- satin ribbon;
- scissors, aluminum wire;
- flower pot;
- a piece of foam plastic, a backing for working with beads.

Beadwork is my students’ favorite type of creativity. Girls often offer their ideas and sketches of work. So this time, Alina came to class with her new idea and began to tell her that she wanted to make a bouquet of flowers for her grandmother that no one else had. The girl has great imagination and imagination. Loves to make unusual, exclusive crafts. They began to discuss the product, the weaving technique, select the necessary material and tools, and sketched out a sketch. They just couldn’t decide on the name of the flowers. According to the description, they looked more like fairy-tale flowering branches entwined with a vine. We started work. We’ll see what happened after we get acquainted with the master class.

Step by step execution of work.

Let's prepare branches for future flowers. We will need aluminum, intricately curved wire of different lengths and narrow strips of green corrugated paper. We wrap the wire. We fix the beginning and end with glue. We made four branches.

Cut three pieces of bead wire 30cm long and string green beads onto them. For brightness, add some golden beads. In the future, we will wrap the branches with these beaded threads.

Let's move on to making flowers. We will work according to the parallel weaving pattern.

Cut the wire 20cm long.
1st row - string 1 bead onto a wire, aligning the ends. The bead should be in the middle of the wire.
Row 2 - string 2 beads onto one end of the wire. Holding the wire with the beads strung in your right hand, insert the second end of the wire into these beads and pass the wire through them. The tip of the wire appears on the other side. Pull the ends of the wire in different directions and attach two beads to the first. Let's press them tightly together. This weaving is called parallel.
Next we weave according to the pattern.

3rd row – 3 beads.
4th row – 4 beads.
We begin to reduce the number of beads in each row.
Row 5 – 3 beads.
Row 6 – 3 beads.
Row 7 – 2 beads
We finish weaving.
8th row – 1 bead.
Twist the ends of the wire.

For one flower, we will weave 5 petals and collect them into a flower.

Let's make a lot of these flowers.

Wrap each flower stem with green corrugated paper.

We begin assembling the flowering twig. Cut a narrow strip of green corrugated paper and tape each flower to a branch.

The result is such a flowering twig.

Wrap the branch with beaded thread.

These are the unusual flowering branches entwined with vines that we got.

We take a pot, decorate it with a bow and fill it with foam.

We make a hole in the foam and add a little glue to stabilize the branches. Place the branches in the pot.

We decorate the foam with pieces of green corrugated paper using the trimming technique.

Let's plant a beautiful bird on a branch and look at our fabulous blooming bouquet from all sides. I think grandma will like it.
Grandmother, my beloved!
Happy birthday!
I present you with a beaded bouquet.
Keep my gift, my naive one.
Believe me, it was made from the heart.
Let him lift your spirits
Let it make you happy and give you inspiration.
Stay as sweet as you are
Kind, affectionate, patient.

But these bouquets of flowers were made by my pupils of the junior group: Isaeva Liza, Minkina Yulia, Abramkina Galya, Birina Daria, Amelkina Ira, Varlamova Ulyana.

Nothing is impossible for diligence and art.

Content

The peculiarity of beads is that, in addition to standard jewelry, from such small beads you can create almost any composition, up to an original bouquet or an entire flower basket. They will be a great gift for any occasion. In addition to the materials, this activity requires instructions on how to make beaded flowers, which you will find below.

Features of beading

To learn how to weave flowers from beads with your own hands, it is recommended to master only 2 techniques of such needlework, which are used more often. One of them is called parallel and is more popular, but at the same time requires perseverance. This technique is used to make small details, including flowers, such as bells, sunflowers or spring lilies of the valley. The second technique is called French. It is often recommended for weaving for beginners.

How to make a flower from beads - weaving patterns for beginners

In diagrams with a parallel weaving method, only even rows are depicted, because the odd ones are their exact repetition. Using the French technique, it is fully shown how to weave flowers from beads for beginners. You can also find a legend on the diagram, i.e. a description of the color, size and number of beads. To create an original craft you will need:

beads, sequins if necessary;
wire or thin fishing line;
special needle;
scissors, nippers.

Rose

A master class on weaving roses requires the preparation of the following materials:

beads 0.4 mm green and yellow for petals and bud;
copper wire 0.3 mm thick;
wooden skewer.

Instead of yellow, you can choose any color for work depending on the desired shade of the product. Weaving instructions are as follows:

Cut a piece of wire 30 cm long, fold it in half and string 1 bead.
Then thread both wire ends through 2 beads.
Keep going like this. When you reach 4 beads, start reducing their number gradually to 2.
Tie the ends of the wire in a knot - you should get a petal.
Make 6 more of these leaves.
Weave the next 3 from 11 rows, with the maximum number of beads being 6.
Using a similar technique, start weaving the petals of the flower itself, only take the wire already 60 cm long. The first bead will be 1, and then make rows only from an even number - this way reach 14 pieces.
At the end of the 9th row, put 9 beads on both wire ends and thread them through the first one. Tie a knot - you get a rose petal.
Weave 5 more petals.
Weave the next 4 petals, reaching 16 beads in the last row, and for edging use 10 beads on each side.
Give each petal a rounded shape using a simple marker, bending the small ones more than the larger ones.
First connect 2 small petals by twisting their wire together.
Similarly, form the entire bud, and then secure all the small petals at its base.
For the stem, wrap a wooden stick with wire, adding large leaves as you do so.

Lily

To weave the next equally beautiful flower, in this case a lily, you will need the following materials:

white or beige beads;
gold beads;
bamboo skewer;
green floral ribbon;
wire 0.3 and 1 mm thick.

The technique used is French. Step-by-step instructions for weaving are as follows:

Make a wire piece 40 cm long, bend it and start twisting it in the middle. The short part should be approximately 4-5 cm.
String 15 white beads on the small tip, and 19 on the long tip.
Twist the wire ends together again.
Put 19 pieces on the longer tail again and twist it on the main wire.
Using a similar technique, form 3 rows on both sides, stringing first 24 and then 32 beads.
Spread the resulting petal and make 6 more of the same.
For the middle, cut a piece of wire 30 cm long, string 21 beige beads and 1 gold bead onto it.
Pass one end of the wire only through the beads and twist.
Next, on the long part, repeat the steps as in step 7.
Weave 3 more stamens.
First fasten the 4 petals, then attach the stamens to them and add the remaining elements.
Fix the wire on a wooden skewer and decorate the flower stem with ribbon.

Chamomile

One of the simple beaded flowers that you can create with your own hands is the daisy. The colors required for the base material are yellow, green and white. You can easily weave a chamomile according to the following instructions:

String 15 white beads onto a tail of wire 25 cm long, bend it in half - one end must be threaded through the entire row, missing only the first bead.
Place 17 beads on both tails. Then pass the wire through the very first bead and tighten.
Repeat step 2, only use 19 beads. Place all rows in one plane - you get a petal.
Form 6-8 more of these petals.
Make a loop on a piece of wire 30 cm long, put on 3 yellow beads, leave the working part and twist another loop.
String 5 beads onto the free tail, press them tightly against the previous ones and twist the wire.
Repeat step 6, but on the other side of the main row.
Weave 4 more rows, stringing 8 beads each, and 4 rows of 10 – you should get a three-dimensional figure.
Twist the tails of the wire under the finished center of the flower.
For the cup, place a lot of green beads on the wire, then twist several loops about 1.5 cm long.
Connect all the chamomile petals and insert the yellow core into the center.
Attach a green cup to the bottom.

Jasmine

To weave the next type of flowers from beads with your own hands, you need to stock up on such shades of this material as white, yellow and dark and light green. Weaving instructions are as follows:

Using the parallel method, weave half a petal, starting with 3 beads and adding 2 more in the next 2 rows.
In the 4th row, add only 1 bead - in the end, their maximum number will be 8.
With the maximum number of beads, make 4 more rows, then reduce their number, first twice by 1 piece, and then also, only by 2.
Start weaving another such half, just additionally weave it to the first - you will get 1 petal.
Make 4 leaves, only starting from the 8th row, weave each one to the previous one.
Weave 8-10 stamens, 1 pistil and 4 sepals according to the patterns.
Connect the elements.

Magnolia

The following do-it-yourself beaded flowers are often woven using the French technique. This is an elegant indoor magnolia. The manufacturing instructions are as follows:

Take a wire about 25 cm, bend it to make 2 parts - 5 and 15 cm.
Twist it to form a loop.
String 8 beige beads on a short ponytail, and 10 on a long ponytail.
Twist both ends together and put 10 beads on the long one again.
Make a loop around the central main part, string about 17 beads and repeat the arc again.
Secure the wire tail and cut off the unnecessary.
Form 5 more such petals.
To form the stamens, take another wire, thread it through 12 brown beads, and make a loop.
Repeat the steps until you have 6 stamens, insert a large bead into the center between them.
Using the principle of creating stamens, weave the sepals.
Connect the elements.

How to weave a carnation flower from beads

The master class on weaving carnations is based on the following steps:

For the beginner level, make 3 loops from 5 red beads.
To create the second level, weave 6 petals, which will already consist of 2 loops - one includes 5 beads, and the other as many as necessary to go around the first.
Weave the third and fourth levels using a similar technology, making 1 more loop on each.
For the 4th row of petals, make not 6, but 8 blanks, each on a separate wire.
Connect all levels in sequence, starting with small petals, and put 11 green beads on the wire tails of the latter.
Place the ends together and twist.

Watch the master class and you will learn how to weave lilies, calla lilies and gerberas from beads.

Order a set of composition materials at.

Summer beaded flowers

For work we will need:

Beads for flowers and leaves;
Wire 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mm in the color of the beads;
Floral tape;
Gerbera wire;
Sisal;
Pot;
Foamiran;
Scissors;
Ruler.

For each flower there will be a more detailed description of the beads and wire.

The composition consists of the following elements:

Lily branches;
Two calla flowers;
Two gerbera flowers;
Leaves of different shapes and sizes.

To make a lily sprig we will need:

beads for edging the petals - 5-10 grams;
light green beads for stamens and buds 10-15 grams;
brown beads for stamens - 5 grams;
green beads (about 6 shades) 10 grams each;
gerbera wire for stem 35-40 cm

An open lily flower consists of three small petals and three large ones.

Small petals (3 pieces)

On the central axis there are 27 beads (about 4 cm) of the main color and we make five pairs of arcs (on the fifth pair of arcs we add an edging color), on 2/3 of the petal we make a step on both sides.

Large petals (3 pieces)

On the central axis there are 30 beads (about 4.5 cm) and five pairs of arcs (like the small petal).

Making a pestle

Stamens

Two unopened buds

The larger bud consists of three petals: on the central axis there are 30 beads of the main color and 4 pairs of arcs with the addition of light green beads at the base.

From the leftover beads you can make loops like these, twist them together and put them in the bud so that it does not show through.

The smaller bud also consists of three petals: on the central axis there are 20 beads (5 green and 15 light green) and three pairs of arcs with the addition of green beads at the base of the petal.

Lily leaves can be made in different sizes and different combinations of green shades can be used.
For example, four sheets - 4 pairs of arcs.

And one - 3 pairs of arcs.

The long leaves (three pieces) used in the composition are woven in a similar way. Such leaves must be stitched in 3-4 places.

When all the elements of the lily are ready, you can begin assembling the branch.

Beaded calla lilies (two pieces)

To make one calla flower we will need:

beads of primary color - 25 grams;
yellow beads for pestle - 5 grams;
light green beads for pestle - 5 grams;
wire 0.4 mm in the color of the beads;
0.5 mm wire in the color of the beads for the central axis of the petals;
wire for stitching;
gerbera wire for the stem.

Petal

For the central axis of the calla lily, we twist two pieces of 0.4 mm wire 17-20 cm long (or take the same piece of 0.5 mm wire), twist it with a working wire (0.4 mm). We string 6.5 cm of beads and make two pairs of arcs (sharp top, round bottom).

Next, we make 15 turns of the wire around 4 fingers of the hand (thus measuring the required length of wire for weaving a petal with an extension). Before reaching the top of the petal, 7 beads are passed with wire from the wrong side to the front side.

We go with the wire with the beads down.

We make one turn at the bottom - if there are excess beads, remove them, and pass the wire from the inside to the face between the expansion arcs. We make a symmetrical step on the other side of the petal (we step back from the top of the petal by eye, parallel to the first step).

We return with the wire with beads and make the second step, retreating again 7 beads.

We make 4 such steps (indented by 7 beads).

Then we continue to make steps, but retreat 6 beads. There should be a total of 8 steps on one side of the petal and 8 on the other.

We sew the petal from the wrong side with thinner wire (0.2 mm) in two places.

Give the petal the desired shape.

Pestle

We take the wire for the stem (it must be decorated with white or yellow floral tape, or it can be painted). We collect light green beads on a 0.3 mm wire, then we make a transition, alternating yellow and light green beads, after which we collect yellow beads.

We wind the working wire to the stem, leave two yellow beads and lower the wire without beads a little down, then go up again, grasping the above two beads.

We insert the pestle into the petal and secure them together.

We decorate the stem under the petal with green floral tape. We string about 20 cm of light green beads onto a green wire. We wind the working wire to the stem from bottom to top, not reaching the beginning of the petal by about 0.5-0.7 mm.

We continue to wrap the stem with beads, rising upward with each turn. We make about 7 turns to cover the joint.

We reach the central axis of the petal and pass the wire through the petal several times, fixing the wire.

After this, we go down with the wire through the turns of light green color.

The calla flower is ready!

Similar to the calla petal, large stepped leaves are woven.

Except that instead of the first two pairs of arcs, we make four pairs of arcs, retreating from 7 to 15 beads (in random order).

Beaded gerberas (two pieces)

To make one gerbera flower we will need:

beads of primary color - 50 grams;
edging beads for large petals - 20 grams;
beads for the flower core, 3 shades (green), 5 grams each;
wire 0.4 mm in the color of the beads;
mesh for beading - you can make it yourself (master class on);
gerbera wire for the stem;

For one gerbera flower you need to prepare 6 types of petals.

Petal 1 (loop of 9 beads) – 7 pieces.
Petal 2 (loop of 11 beads) – 12 pieces.
Petal 3 (loop of 15 beads) – 18 pieces.
Petal 4 (loop of 17 beads) - 24 pieces.
Petal 5 (11 beads on the axis, two pairs of arcs, sharp top, sharp bottom) - 24 pieces.
Petal 6 (15 beads on the axis, three pairs of arcs (the third - edging - in a different color), sharp top, any bottom) - 24-26 pieces.

Cut off the side of the nylon lid. We make holes (with an awl or a nail) in rows in a circle - according to the number of petals in each row, for petals 1-4, and holes in two rows - for petals 5-6 (that is, 4 more rows for these two types of petals).

Let's start assembling the gerbera

We take petals 1 and thread the tails of the wire into the holes in the center, and on the reverse side we twist the wires together.

Then in two rows - petals 5. We insert the petals of the second row in the spaces between the petals of the first row.

Insert a stem wire into the bundle of wires formed from below and wrap it tightly with wire for assembly.

Take green foamiran and cut out three circles of different diameters from it. Cut the petals.

We cover the lower part of the gerbera with these petals (glue it if necessary).

We wrap the stem with floral tape. Gerbera is ready!

Now all the elements of the composition are ready. We form a single structure from them, arranging the elements of the composition at our discretion.

First you should try on the arrangement of the composition in an empty pot. And only after that we fill the pot with gypsum solution and plant the composition there. We wait until the plaster sets (15-20 minutes). Leave until completely dry (about a day). We decorate the surface of the plaster with sisal.

The composition is ready!
