Colored beads and bugles can be used not only to create new things, but also to decorate existing ones. So, for example, you can braid an Easter egg with a beaded net or even “pick out” whole pictures on it.
It is necessary
- - beads;
- - fishing line / thread with a needle;
- - a sheet of paper in the box;
- - colour pencils.
Instructions
Step 1
You can dial the beaded pattern covering the egg both on a thread and on a fishing line. Threads are fine and strong, silk thread that matches the color of the beads is ideal. When choosing a fishing line, check if it will pass 2-3 times into the smallest bead.
Step 2
Take a line 70 cm long. String on it two beads and arrange them so that one end of the thread is 20 cm and the other 50 cm. Then select two more beads, thread both ends of the line through them towards each other. In this way, by two pieces, make a strip that will be equal to the height (not to be confused with the width) of the central, widest part of the egg.
Step 3
Secure the short end of the thread with a knot and cut it. Pass the second end into the first bead in a row, string two new beads onto it and pass into a couple of the next beads in the previous row. Continue to weave the belt, picking up and stitching two beads each. When the strip is equal to the circumference of the egg in the widest part, put it on the egg, pass the fishing line through all the beads of the very first row, connecting the ends of the "belt" and tie with an inconspicuous knot.
Step 4
The upper and lower parts of the product are recruited in turn. Take a 50-centimeter line, tie a knot at one end, and put one bead on the working end. Lay the egg horizontally in front of you (on its side). Thread the fishing line through one bead of the top row of the belt from top to bottom, then insert it again into the bead you just picked. String a new bead and also thread the line into the base bead, and then again into the set. In this way, all rows are recruited to the top of the egg. At the beginning and end of each row, the number of beads is reduced by one.
Step 5
To make a beaded covering with a pattern, draw up a weaving pattern in advance. To do this, in a checkered notebook draw a rectangle 14 cells high and 62 cells long. Each cell filled with its own color corresponds to a bead. This part falls on the central "belt" on the egg. Then the pattern can be continued, focusing on the rows of the base or attached to the long sides of the rectangle, 5 triangles each. At the same time, take into account the reduction in the width of the egg, subtracting one bead in each row on the right and left sides of the triangles. The number of beads in the pattern may vary depending on the size of the egg.
