Do-it-yourself volumetric beadwork will be a wonderful gift for your family and friends. Flowers made in this way are very beautiful. Making figures from beads is a fascinating experience.
It is necessary
- - thin wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm;
- - beads of green, pink, dark and light brown colors.
Instructions
Step 1
To make petals at the end of a wire 1, 8 m long, make a loop and put on 15 beads, then, at a distance of 15 cm from the loop, make a 2 cm twist and a loop.
Step 2
Put 14 more beads on the tail and secure by making an oval with the previous beads. String 12 more beads one after the other and secure them on the other side. Add six rows on each side, increasing the number of beads in them by 3 pieces.
Step 3
At the edges of the petals, starting from the 16th row, make notches, retreating 10 beads from the edge. Pass the wire from the wrong side inside the beads.
Step 4
Collect 5 more petals. Pass the wire across each petal, fastening it tightly to the rows.
Step 5
To make the stamens, put 4 cm of light brown beads on the wire and 2.5 cm of dark brown beads, making a flattened oval out of them and securing the tip of the wire.
Step 6
For the pestle, fold the wire (40 cm) in half, making a loop. Put 15 beads on 2 tails, twist the ends of the wire again and string 15 more beads on them, and then 8 more, twisting them into loops and adding 15 more pieces. Spread out the pistil, giving it a natural look and bending the tabs outward.
Step 7
To make leaves, cut off 3 m of wire. At the end, make a loop and cast on 10 beads, stepping back 15 cm. In each subsequent row, increase the number of beads, and attach them to the previous row. The sheet should be elongated and consist of 21 rows. Make the second sheet a little larger, from 27 rows.
Step 8
For the stem, twist the wire 8 times, wrap it with green thread and secure with superglue.
Step 9
Fasten all parts to each other with wire. First, assemble the flower by attaching the petals, stamens and pistil to each other. Then attach it to the stem by wrapping green beaded wire around the attachment point. Attach the leaves to the stem. Carefully remove the remaining wire.
