It is necessary
Thin wire, scissors, floss thread, as well as beads of different colors
Instructions
Step 1
Start by braiding the petals, braiding at least 5 pieces.
Cut off the wire, the length of which should be 25-30 cm. Put one bead on the wire, place it in the middle of the wire and secure (pull one end of the wire through the bead and pull on both ends of the wire to secure). This bead will be the top of the future petal.
Step 2
Start weaving the second row, for this put 3 more beads on one end of the wire, then take the free end of the wire and drag it through 3 beads. Pull on both ends of the wire to secure. The second row is finished and the loose ends of the wire are hanging on both sides of the row. For the third row, use 5 beads and drag the free end of the wire, just like in the second row. After finishing weaving each row, be sure to tighten the weaving.
Step 3
Then weave as follows:
fourth row - 6 beads, fifth - 8 beads, sixth - 10 beads, seventh - 10 beads, eighth - 8 beads, ninth - 6 beads, tenth - 4 beads, eleventh - 2 beads, twelfth - 1 bead. That's it, one flower petal is ready. Now fasten the wire at the bottom of the petal and begin to weave the rest of the petals in the same way.
Step 4
After all the petals are ready, take three pieces of wire (each 20 cm). They will be blanks for the pistil and stamens. Attach one end of each piece of wire, and string beads on the other. In order to make stamens, use 1 black and 15-18 yellow beads, and for the pistil - 1 yellow and 15-18 black beads (you get 2 stamens and 1 pistil). Twist the resulting blanks and screw the petals to the pistil and stamens like this to make a beautiful flower.
Step 5
To make your flower look more graceful, take 5 pieces of wire (5-7 cm long). Starting from the eighth row, work your way down, stitching the petals together. Grab the edges of the wire that protrude in the rows. After all the petals have been sewn, shape the flower with your fingers, straighten the pistil, and twist the stamens around it.
Step 6
What is a flower without a stem and leaves? Weave the leaves for your flower in the same way as the petals. Before attaching the leaves to the stem, wrap green floss threads around it. Start wrapping from the bottom. Wrap about 2 cm around the stem and then screw on one leaf. Next, continue to wrap the stem with threads and gradually screw the leaves to it. Wrap the stem so that the wire is not visible through the threads. The flower is ready.
