Beads of red and green color;
- wire for beads;
- green corrugated paper, PVA glue;
- satin ribbon;
- scissors, aluminum wire;
- flower pot;
- a piece of foam, a backing for working with beads.
Beading is a favorite type of creativity of my pupils. Girls often offer their ideas and sketches of works. So this time, Alina came to class with her new idea and began to tell that she wanted to make such a bunch of flowers for her grandmother, which no one else has. The girl has a lot of imagination and fantasy. Likes to make unusual, exclusive crafts. They began to discuss the product, weaving technique, select the necessary material, tools, and sketched a sketch. They just could not decide on the name of the flowers. According to the description, they looked more like fabulous flowering twigs entwined with a vine. We got to work. And what happened, we will see after getting acquainted with the master class.
Step-by-step execution of work.
Let's prepare twigs for future flowers. We need aluminum, bizarrely curved wires of different lengths and narrow strips of green corrugated paper. We wrap the wire. We fix the beginning and the end with glue. We made four branches.
Cut off three pieces of wire for beads 30cm long and put green beads on them. Add some golden beads for brightness. In the future, we will wrap branches with these beaded threads.
Let's move on to making flowers. We will work according to the parallel weaving scheme.
Cut off the wire 20cm long.
1 row - string 1 bead on the wire, align the ends. The bead should be in the middle of the wire.
2nd row - string 2 beads on one end of the wire. Holding the wire with strung beads in your right hand, insert the other end of the wire into these beads and pass the wire through them. The tip of the wire appears on the other side. Pull the ends of the wire in different directions and attach two beads to the first. Press them tightly together. This weaving is called parallel.
Then we weave according to the pattern.
3rd row - 3 beads.
4th row - 4 beads.
We begin to reduce the number of beads in each row.
5th row - 3 beads.
6th row - 3 beads.
7 row - 2 beads
We finish weaving.
8th row - 1 bead.
We twist the ends of the wire.
For one flower, we will weave 5 petals and collect them into a flower.
Let's make a lot of these colors.
We wrap each stem of the flower with green corrugated paper.
We start assembling the flowering twig. Cut off a narrow strip of green corrugated paper and attach each flower to a twig.
The result is such a flowering twig.
Wrap the branch with beaded thread.
These are the unusual flowering twigs entwined with liana, we got it.
We take the pot, decorate it with a bow and fill it with styrofoam.
We make a hole in the foam, add a little glue for the stability of the branches. Install the twigs in the pot.
Decorate the styrofoam with pieces of green corrugated paper using the trimming technique.
We will plant a beautiful bird on a twig and look at our fabulous blooming bouquet from all sides. I think my grandmother will like it.
Grandma, beloved, mine!
Happy birthday, congratulations!
I give you a beaded bouquet.
Keep my naive gift.
Believe me, it is made from the heart.
May he cheer you up
Let it make you happy, give you inspiration.
Stay the same sweet
Kind, affectionate, patient.
But such bouquets of flowers were made by my pupils of the younger group: Isaeva Liza, Minkina Yulia, Abramkina Galya, Birina Daria, Amelkina Ira, Varlamova Ulyana.
Weaving flowers from beads is a rather relevant activity. You can find many bead crafts for every taste. Now we will learn how to weave beaded flowers, which will be a wonderful decoration for your home or a nice gift for your loved ones.
To begin with, a few words about beads. It can be mother-of-pearl or matte, its color range has a huge variety. The choice of color depends solely on your taste and purpose. Beads can be of different quality. Czech beads are recognized as the highest quality. You can also use Chinese, but sometimes there is a marriage here. If you are a beginner in this business and want to first acquire certain skills, then it is quite suitable for the job.
Now let's get down to practice. I bring to your attention interesting crafts made of beads - flowers. Consider a few simple weaving patterns for beginners that describe in detail, how to make flowers from beads.
To make them, need the following materials:
- beads (yellow, blue or light blue, green), medium or large size;
- wire 0.2 mm;
- green threads;
- flower pot or vase;
- pebbles or other material (forget-me-nots will "grow" in it).
Full description step by step
Cut off a wire 10 cm long. String 1 yellow and 5 blue beads. From the side of the blue beads, pass the wire through the first 3 and then through the yellow one. Twist the ends in the middle under the yellow bead. It turns out a little flower.
To make the composition voluminous, you need to weave many such flowers and form inflorescences from them. This is done very simply: we take 2 flowers and twist their wires, in the same way we weave other flowers to them. For a lush inflorescence, combine 10-15 flowers.
Now we make the leaves. For them we will use the parallel weaving technique. You will need a wire (25-30 cm) and green beads. We put on 3 beads and cross 2 of them with the second end of the wire. It turned out 2 rows of beads. Then we collect 3 beads and also crosswise thread.
In the same way, weave the 4th and 5th row of 4 and 5 beads. Making another row of five beads, after which we reduce their number (4-3-2-1). Putting on the latter, we twist the ends of the wire.
Small twigs can be formed from the leaves by twisting 3 leaves together. We leave several leaves one by one. This will make the composition look vivid and natural.
Assembly... We twist the inflorescences, leaves and twigs with a wire, placing them at our discretion. Wrap the stems with green threads. The bouquet is ready, it remains to place it in a vessel - a vase or a pot. To make it stand, we fill it with pebbles. We get beautiful flowers from beads.

Chamomile
Another simple beaded flowers - chamomile... For this craft you will need such materials:
- medium-sized white, yellow and green seed beads;
- wire 0.3 mm;
- green threads;
- small vase.
Description
First we make the petals. Weaving technique is parallel (as for forget-me-not leaves). Cut off a wire 35 cm long, collect 5 beads, thread 3 of them with the other end of the wire crosswise and get 2 rows of beads. Then we continue according to this scheme: from the 3rd to the 9th row - 4 beads each, 10th - 3 beads, 11th - 2, 12th - 1.
Weave 9 petals and connect them in a circle: cut off 35 cm of wire and thread it into the last bead of each petal. Then we twist the ends of this wire together, leave the rest straight. It turns out a flower.
The upper petals are smaller, so we weave them with fewer rows: 1st row - 2 beads, 2nd row - 3 beads, from 3rd to 7th - 4 beads each, 8th - 3, 9- 1st - 2, 10th - 1. Small petals are also needed 9. We connect them in the same way as large petals.
The next stage is the middle of the chamomile. We weave it from yellow beads as follows. We take a piece of wire 40 cm long. We make a loop, leaving one end 5 cm long. On the short end we put on 3 beads, on the long end - 5. We fold the ends of the wire parallel to each other and twist so that an arc is formed at the long end, and the lower 3 beads formed the basis. String 5 more beads onto the long end and bend into an arc from the opposite side.
In the same way we weave 2 more semicircles with 9 beads each. We make the resulting circle a little convex. Twist the ends of the wire.
We pass to the leaves. For one flower, you can weave 2 leaves of green beads according to the following pattern: 1st row - 1 bead, 2nd - 2, 3rd and 4th - 3 each, 5th - 4, 6th - 5 , 7th - 4, 8th - 3, 9th - 4, 10th - 3, 11th - 2, 12th - 1. They will turn out to be a little asymmetrical. If desired, the leaves can be made different by slightly changing the scheme.
Assembly. The chamomile head is assembled very simply: we take small petals and insert the middle into them, twist the ends of the wire, insert it all into the circle of large petals and twist the wire again. Then we wind the leaves... And the final touch - we wrap the stem with green threads. Chamomile is ready!
To decorate a beautiful composition, weave 3 daisies, put them in a vase and enjoy a new cute element of your interior!
the Rose
You have already mastered the method of parallel beading, now let's try the French technique. An example would be a rose - lovely beaded flower for beginners.
Materials (edit):
Description
Let's start with the petals. They will be of different sizes: 4 small, 5 medium and 5-6 large. To make the flower more voluminous, you can weave more. For a small petal, take 50 cm of wire, measure out 10 cm and twist the loop. Put 5 beads on the short end and make a loop again. These 5 beads will be the base around which you will wind the arcs. These arcs will be fixed with a small "tail", so it is important to calculate its length so that it will be enough for the entire product.
Now we are working with the long end of the wire. We string 8 beads on it, put them next to the base and fix them by winding the wire on the “tail”. We put on 8 more beads on the same end of the wire and make an arc on the other side of the base. For a small petal, we make 4-5 pairs of arcs, each increasing the number of beads ... For medium weave 9 pairs according to the same principle on a wire 70 cm long.
Large petals need to be woven on three axes. To do this, take 2 pieces of wire 25 cm each, twist to the middle, and spread the free ends to the sides. We put on beads on each axis and fix on any axis working wire 130 cm long. We weave according to the same principle as the rest of the petals, but we fix the wire on each axis. You will get circles, there should be 12 of them in total.
Form a bud from the petals. We fasten all the petals with a wire at the bottom edge: first small, then medium and large. For a rose to look natural, the petals must be on top of each other.
Next, weave the sepals and leaves in the same way as the petals, but give them the appropriate shape. Sepal leaves should be oblong and narrow, so we make the base long (about 22-25 beads). We make the leaves about the same length, but wider. To give it a natural shape, gradually change the length of the arcs, and attach the wire to the previous arc. For the sepal, weave 6 leaves. We make 6 large leaves, of which we collect 2 branches of 3 leaves each.
Assembly... We attach the sepal to the bud, twist all the ends of the wire into the stem, attach the leaves to it. Finally, we wrap the stem with thread or fabric and we get a beautiful rose from beads.
Miracle flower
Using examples of previous works, I showed you how flowers are made from beads on a wire. Now I propose an option beading using fishing line.
Materials (edit):
- small or medium beads of any color;
- yellow or white bead;
- fishing line;
- needle.
Description
First of all, we make a frame for the middle, around which the petals will be located. To do this, we sew beads 2 in a row. The number of beads must be even (in this case there are 16 of them). We sew the frame to the bead and fix it by passing the line through the bead a couple of times and again through the bead of the frame.
Moving on to the petals. We put 18 beads on the fishing line and make a loop, passing the needle through the seventh bead from the frame. We collect 5 beads and make another loop through the first bead. The result is a blank for the petal. We sew the same in a circle.
Then we do the following: pierce the 4 lower beads of the petal with a needle, collect 5 beads and thread the needle into the 7 upper beads. Put on 5 beads again, thread the lower beads with a needle on the 4 lower beads and fix them on the frame, passing them through the adjacent bead. Do the same with the rest of the petals.
Our beaded flower is almost ready. To prevent it from disintegrating, the petals can be fastened by threading the middle beads with a fishing line.
Conclusion
As you have seen, everyone can make a flower from beads. At first glance, the crafts seem rather intricate, but with the help of diagrams you can easily figure out and learn how to weave. The main thing is desire and a little perseverance. So stock up on beads, patience and go ahead to work miracles!
It is easy to make a lot of beautiful and unusual crafts out of beads. You can decorate your home with such original things, or you can give it to friends and acquaintances. In addition, beading can be done with your child. This activity perfectly develops fine motor skills of the fingers.
The most popular bead crafts are flowers. They can be large or small, arranged in bouquets or beautiful vases. And beaded flowers can also decorate a panel on the wall, and if you knit indoor flowers from beads - for example, orange chrysanthemums, then - a windowsill, or a desk.
Absolutely anyone can master the art of weaving flowers from beads. How to make beaded flowers with your own hands in stages will be discussed in detail in this article. In it you will find a master class on making and in the gallery - new pictures with examples of finished works.
Beading is not a complicated process, but it requires perseverance and attention. If you are just starting your journey in this field, pick up the simplest schemes... Beautiful, but intricate schemes, of course, attract. However, it is quite difficult for a beginner to deal with them. Using simple diagrams, you can well learn to understand the language of weaving, and then move on to something more complicated.
Look for weaving patterns not only on the Internet. Now there are many printed publications that will help you understand the tricks of beading. Plus, you can open the book and find the material you want whenever you want.
Carefully read the instructions to the diagrams and try to follow them thoroughly. Usually, instructions are given step by step and each row of weaving is signed. This is great for beginners.
Pay attention to quality purchased beads. A Chinese product will never make a first-class product. Chinese beads, of course, are cheaper, but of poor quality. Beads of irregular shape and different sizes. Such beads can be taken for children's crafts or something like that. If you want to weave beautiful quality products, take Czech or Italian beads.

Forget-me-not from beads
In order to weave beautiful crafts from beads, it's a good idea to practice on very simple patterns. One of such schemes is a small forget-me-not flower. For our forget-me-not we need wire and beads blue, yellow and green colors.
We string beads on the wire in the amount of six pieces. The first bead should be yellow, the rest blue. Pass the end of the wire through holes 3, 4 and 5 of the beads. Then pass the same tip through the yellow bead. We twist both ends and the flower is ready. Use this scheme to make the number of colors you need.
Weave leaflet... We string three green beads on a wire. Then we pass one end of the wire through the second and third beads from left to right, the second end - from right to left. Increase the number of beads to about the middle of the sheet, then start decreasing it. Twist the ends of the wire under the last bead. We make as many pieces of paper as we need. Next, we collect the bouquet.
Beaded vase. How to weave with your own hands
Beaded flowers can be put in a ready-made vase. Or you can weave a beautiful vase for them with your own hands. It turns out even better than the purchased one. To weave a vase, we need:
The vase will be executed in the technique of fullerenes, that is, rings. To get started, take a piece of line about one and a half meters long. Insert the needle, tying one or two knots so that it does not slip off the line. Take six beads of the same color (any) and string on the fishing line. Connect the beads into a ring, leaving a non-working end about 10 cm. The resulting ring is the base of the vase.
Original roses from glass beads
Bugle beads are elongated beads. Very unusual crafts are obtained from it. Consider a do-it-yourself pattern for weaving a large rose from bugle beads.
To make a rose, we need the following materials:
We string three glass beads onto the wire and move them to the middle. We make a loop out of glass beads, twist the wire under the lower part of the loop a few turns. Trying to use the wire evenly, we make two more loops on the sides. We twist about 2 mm. Then two more loops and again twist the wire 2 mm. Similarly, we make five more loops and twist the wire by 1.5–2 cm. This is the preparation of the future stem.
The rosette is ready, go to leaflets... We string green beads on the wire, 11 pieces. Make a loop in the middle of the wire and twist it. Below we make two of the same loops opposite each other. We twist the bottom by 2 cm. We make two or three pieces of such blanks.
Back to our rose again. We take twigs with leaves and carefully screw them to the stem. The stem should not be too thick, so screw the branches one under the other.
You can make one or more of these roses and put them in a beaded vase. It will look very beautiful and unusual. Or you can twist a large rose tree from such blanks.
Weaving beaded flowers with your own hands is not difficult at all. The main thing is to be patient. Read the instructions carefully and follow them exactly. Then your first crafts will delight you with their beauty and originality.
Flowers from beads and patterns
Recently, it has become really fashionable to decorate your home with beaded crafts. This is an original element of the interior that will emphasize the individuality of your home! Weaving is not a particularly difficult activity, but it requires painstaking and perseverance.
Beaded flowers: getting started
Before you start work, it is worth knowing what are beads, what are they.
Beads are small balls that have a small through hole. The color scheme is very diverse. You can find matte or mother-of-pearl material for creativity, work with solid-colored or pollinated beads.
The quality of the beads depends on the manufacturer. For example, Chinese isn't good enough. It may be unevenly colored, holes may be missing, and the beads themselves may vary in size. The best manufacturer the Czech Republic is considered. Their products are smooth, neat, with a minimum of scrap.
Of course, you can train, do your first work, you can also use Chinese beads. However, when you move on to making large, beautiful things, it is better to take Czech.
For work you will need a lavsan or nylon thread, wire or fishing line. With the help of a fishing line they make voluminous crafts... The wire is useful if you want to give the product a shape, for example, as when working with flowers from beads. However, one should be careful with such objects, they are rather fragile.
Flowers from beads: simple crafts
Described below ways of weaving flowers from beads suitable for beginners.
Flower "Forget-me-not" from beads.
As you can see, first, you need to string 6 beads on the wire. The first one is yellow, the other five are blue. Then, pass the end of the wire through 2, 3 and 4 beads, and then into the very first one - the yellow one. Twist the end of the wire under the yellow bead.
Flowers need to be made as many as required, for example, to fill a basket or vase.
Then move on to making a leaflet. It is woven in a parallel technique. First, 3 beads are put on the middle of the wire, then the wire passes through the second and third beads. Then the number of beads increases, up to the middle of the sheet, then their number goes down. Secure the wire by twisting. Make the required number of leaves. And put your bouquet together.
Flower "Chamomile" from beads.
Using the parallel weaving technique, we make 10-12 petals for our chamomile. The middle of the flower is made of yellow beads. Then, from green beads, we make petals, according to the scheme. When all the individual details of the flower are ready, put them together. We connect the white petals with a wire, inserting the yellow center inside. We attach the leaves to the base wire. That's it, our chamomile is ready!
The proposed flower is not at all difficult to make. For work you will need a wire of 0.3 mm, beads for the middle of the flower and beads of two colors for making the flower itself.
We begin to weave the flower petals using the parallel weaving technique.
- The first, second and third row - pink beads, the fourth row - 2 pink beads, 1 white, 2 pink again. Fifth row - 2 pink, 2 white, 2 pink. Etc. The middle of the petal is 2 pink, 5 white, again 2 pink beads. After this row, the reduction of white beads begins.
- As a result, you get such petals as in the picture below. You will need 5 of them.
- Next, weave 5 smaller petals. Along the edges there will already be only one pink bead, in the widest part of the petal there will be 3 white beads.
- The next step is to make the middle of the flower. To do this, we string a large bead on the wire, and twist the ends of the fishing line under it.
- So, all the details of our flower are ready. This is how they should all look.
- We take our "pistils", connect them into one, and twist the ends of the wire together.
- We fasten small petals to the middle from below.
- Then, again from below, we attach larger petals to the base.
- You can do whatever you want with the leftover wire. You can twist them together, wrap them with green thread or green ribbon, and form a flower stem. You can secure the ends well and cut off any excess wire.
Weaving flowers from beads: roses
Great bouquet, isn't it? You can try to weave one yourself. You can make fewer flowers, it all depends on your desire.
What you need for work:
- Plain copper wire
- Green wire 0.3mm diameter
- White, pink and green beads
- Thick wire for making the stem
- Flower ribbon
Manufacturing:
- We take a wire, approximately 1 m long, and thread the first bead. Using the parallel weaving method, begin to weave the rows, each time increasing the number of beads in a row by 2 pieces. When you have a row with 10 beads, make 11 beads in the next row. Then, put 9 beads on each end of the wire, and pull the wire through the very first bead.
- We twist the ends of the wire. You have a triangle-shaped petal with rounded edges.
- Then we move on to making the stamens. They will need about 30 cm of ordinary copper wire. 7 pink beads should be strung on it, then we leave 3 free, and after 4 we stretch the wire in the same direction, not parallel.
- Align the stamen so that it is in the middle. Further, on the sides of it, you need to perform one more stamen. It is very important to make sure that all three stamens fit snugly together. Twist the ends of the wire under the stamens.
- Using the parallel weaving technique, make 6 small petals. Weaving pattern: 1,2,3,3,3,2,1.
- Next, using the same technique, we make 5 large leaves. They are made according to the scheme: 2,3,4,5,5,5,4,3,2,1.
- Then we start collecting the petals. Twist three large petals together, twist the ends of the wire. Then, just below, we fasten the remaining 2 large petals. It turns out a twig.
- Take the green wire, step back 15 cm from the edge, and string 3 white beads. Twist the edges. It turned out to be a bud. Then, we perform 2 more such buds. We retreat from the buds made, we make, on the same wire, 3 more such buds.
- Now that all the details of our rose are ready, you can start assembling it.
- Take about 40 cm of thick wire for the base, wind the stamens to it from above, wind the ends of the wire around the thick wire.
- Place rose petals around the stamens, twist them at the base. We also fasten small petals under the bud. We wrap the base with floral tape.
- Further, at the base of the stem, we fasten the twigs with leaves and buds. Your rose is ready!
