There are endless ways to braid a bead with beads, based on the use of different beading techniques, the use of different sizes and colors of beads, and other nuances. The bead in the illustration is woven using a mosaic technique with a gradual change in the number of beads in a row. You can braid the bead in a similar way or interspersed with additional techniques.
It is necessary
- Beads of various sizes and colors;
- Bead;
- Strong thread;
- Two thin needles
Instructions
Step 1
Weave a short chain using large beads using the "cross" technique. Its length should match the diameter of the bead. Join the chain in a circle and put it on the bead exactly in the middle.
Step 2
On each side of the original chain, between the side beads, insert other beads of the same size, but in a different color. Weave one row on each side. You should get a transition from the "cross" to the "mosaic".
Step 3
The next and each new row should differ in size (downward) and, if desired, in color. Skip the beads in the outer rows, if necessary.
Step 4
The holes of the bead case and the bead must match. Hide the ends of the threads, fasten so that the product does not bloom, cut off the excess.
