Instructions
Step 1
Among the various ways to decorate Easter eggs, the most unusual and beautiful is beading. To make such a souvenir, buy a blank. Specialty craft stores sell wooden eggs with coasters.
Step 2
To decorate one such blank, you will need about 40 g of beads of the main color, about 6 g of beads of other colors for drawing up a pattern, sequins, wire and glue. Copper wire from the transformer winding is most suitable.
Step 3
Take a long piece of wire and string 40 g of beads onto it. Secure the ends of the wire so that the beads do not fall off, and paste over the resulting chain over the egg. Start pasting from the top, applying a little glue to the workpiece.
Step 4
To weave a pattern from beads of a different color, for example, a cross, string two beads on the wire. While holding one end of the wire, pass the other through these beads towards it. Tighten the wire. Then type the next two beads and pass the other end through them again towards them.
Step 5
Weave the crossbar of the desired size in a similar way. Then twist the ends of the wire and pull them through the beads to mask the remaining ponytails. If they don't fit through the holes in the beads, you can simply fold the ponytails back.
Step 6
To weave the second crossbar, attach a piece of wire to the already finished cross piece in the right place. Weave in the same way as the first piece. Then hook a new piece of wire on the other side and braid the other half of the crossbar.
Step 7
Petals and rhombuses are woven in the same way, the only difference is that at first you need to string not two beads, but three. At the same time, leave one bead free, and pass the other end of the thread through the other two beads. When the loop is tightened, a small triangle will form. Next time string 3 beads, then 4 and 5 at the widest part. Then, with each row, reduce the number of beads by one.
Step 8
When all the decoration elements are ready, they must be glued to the workpiece. Straighten all the flowers and leaves so that you can hide the wire base under them. Glue the stand with beads in the same way. Leave the finished product until the glue is completely dry.
