Bracelets, pendants, brooches, embroidery - bead jewelry always turns out flat. However, you can also create voluminous objects from this material - beaded balls will come in handy for creating jewelry and interior decoration.
Instructions
Step 1
The first weaving method will allow you to create the densest beaded balls. String seven beads on the line. Secure the first with a knot, then thread the end of the fishing line into it, connecting the beaded thread in a circle. String three new beads onto the end of the line. Count two beads in the first row and thread the line through the third. Then string three more beads and thread the end of the working thread into the next third bead in the first ring. Continue in this way to collect the second row of the ball. In the next row, increase the number of new beads to five. Thread the line into the protruding beads of the previous row. Add two beads to each row of the ball. When its width is sufficient, gradually reduce the number of beads (2 in a row).
Step 2
The next weaving method will help you get the result faster. Cast on three beads on the line. Place them in the center of the thread. Then pass through three more beads, first the right, and then towards it - the left ends of the fishing line. Tighten both ends so that both rows of beads curve into arcs that form a circle. The next row should consist of five beads, into which the ends of the thread are threaded towards each other. Collect the required number of rings, increasing the number of beads in each arc by two and tightening the line as much as possible.
Step 3
To make a beaded ball that resembles a weightless spider web, you need snow. Usually, these balls are used as New Year's toys. On a thin line about one and a half meters long, string the beads so that they fit close to each other. Secure both ends of the wire by threading them several times through the outermost beads. With the thread ready, go outside. Make a snowball of the required size. Wrap the beaded thread around it so that it forms a uniform mesh. Wrap the thread around the previous rows to strengthen the structure. Bring the beaded snowball home and wait until it melts. The remaining ball can be hung on the tree.
