One of the brightest and most fascinating types of needlework is beading - in this technique you can create both simple and unpretentious bracelets and pendants, as well as complex embroidery, woven beaded products, voluminous necklaces woven in rare and complex techniques. If you want to master the art of beading, start learning it from scratch - first try to master simple weaving techniques.
Instructions
Step 1
Very often, parallel weaving is found in the schemes of products for novice craftswomen. This type of weaving is often used in patterns of flowers, plants, and wire products. In order to weave a regular leaf using the parallel weaving technique, take a wire about 30 cm long and string three beads on it.
Step 2
Pull one of the ends of the wire through two beads, and then pull the opposite end of the wire into the same two beads on the other side, towards the first end. You should have a triangle of three beads. Pull them together by pulling on the ends of the wire.
Step 3
Now type three beads on one of the ends and repeat the action described above - pull the opposite end of the wire through them towards the first end. In the same way, follow a row of four beads and continue expanding the canvas to the desired sheet width - for example, up to five beads.
Step 4
After a row of five beads, begin to smoothly narrow the sheet - string on the wire first four, then three, then two and finally one bead. Twist the ends of the wire together, securing the figure.
Step 5
Using this method, you can weave an even leaf, but you can also weave a leaf with a carved jagged edge from beads. To do this, weave, as described above, the first three rows, and on the fourth row string two additional beads on each wire on the left and right.
Step 6
Pull a wire through the penultimate bead and tighten, then secure the row. Weave a couple more rows as usual, and then weave another row of teeth.
Step 7
If these methods of weaving from beads still seem difficult to you, master the most basic technique of work - make a simple bottom of beads worn on one thread, and then try to weave a snake chain.
Step 8
Cast on a thread of seven beads of the same size, and then connect the bottom into a ring. Cast on four more beads and connect them with the sixth bead of the previous low. Cast on four new beads and combine them with the tenth bead. Continue braiding the bending line until it is the desired length.
