Looking at the amazing, amazing, intricate work from beads, it may seem that there is no way to make something like these masterpieces. Especially if a person has never held these small beads in their hands and cannot imagine how they can be connected together in such a way that a unique decoration or a funny toy is obtained. But all the masters were once beginners, so anyone who has the patience can learn to weave from beads.

Step 1
Where to start learning beadwork? It's best to start from scratch. And here there are two ways: to consistently study various techniques of beading ("ndebele", "brick", "parallel weaving", etc.) or choose the simplest models (toys, accessories, flowers, etc.), learn to weave them, and then move on to more complex ones. The first way of teaching is more academic, suitable for lovers of a solid approach to business. The second method is good because you can immediately get a tangible result: a souvenir or an accessory. The best incentive for progress in learning is usually the desire to independently make from beads what the student finds difficult to achieve, but inspiring and attractively beautiful. This goal makes us overcome the first difficulties associated with the lack of beadwork skills, and bring our plans to the end.
Step 2
The most effective way to learn how to weave from beads is to enroll in beading courses, where the teacher will clearly show those who wish to all the nuances of this type of needlework, “put his hand”, notice mistakes in time and help correct them. Many beginners note that only this way of transmitting information helps them learn new types of needlework, while reading diagrams from a computer screen is not understandable. You can find beadwork courses for adults in most major cities, circles for children in art houses and schools, or you can choose individual training at home from a master who professionally weaves from beads. For everyone who does not have the opportunity to study in offline courses, there are specialized paid and free online beadwork courses: in the form of online webinars, mailing lists and skype consultations. You can find them in a search engine or on large portals dedicated to this type of needlework.
Step 3
For lovers of self-study, there is a huge selection of books, magazines and sites with master classes and diagrams. If this information is not enough and questions remain, you can contact the forums of bead lovers at any time of the day, where beginners will be helped to deal with the difficulties that have arisen.
