Hand made things always carry a piece of the master's soul. Today, when many people feel a lack of emotions and live communication, gifts made with their own hands acquire special significance. This explains the popularity of various types of needlework: knitting, felting out of wool, sewing, crafts made of beads (weaving , embroidery) for beginners, because flowers or any other decor made for a native person will necessarily give him positive emotions, good mood.
In this article, we'll talk about how to make flowers from beads with your own hands.
Master-class "Weaving flowers with beads"
For weaving a flower from beads we will need:
- beads (at least two colors for leaves and a flower, it is better to take an extra color to highlight the petals - so the rose will look more spectacular.) Experienced masters often use more shades to make them more similar to fresh flowers;
- thin wire (for weaving). A double-folded wire should easily pass through a hole in the beads;
- wire thicker - 3-4 mm (for the stem);
- Strong threads (for assembling a flower) - color does not matter;
- nippers;
- pliers with a rounded edge.
First, we make the axis of the flower. For this, it is necessary to cut off two pieces of wire - one about 10 cm long and the other about 50 cm. On the second segment we will string the beads.
The first five beads should be strung on the axis (short section).
Attach the axis to the long segment. Then we start to type the beads. It should close about 75% of the entire length of the wire. Then we begin to consistently embrace the low axis. So it forms several arches (arc braided) - 5 on each side. So we will make the inner bud petals.
At least six petals must be formed.

The outer petals of the rose should be made more rounded, for this they weave other methods - on two axes.
However, the difference with the weaving on the first method is small - it's all the same arc weaving. It is important to ensure that between the arcs there are no gaps - so the petals will not shine through. We make 10 pairs of arcs.

Now that the petals are ready, it's time to start assembling. Three petals of the first group are bent in half along the horizontal axis and slightly bend outwards. The upper rest of the axial wire should not be cut off. In the remaining, the protruding edge should be bitten by wire cutters. Wire must be tightly compressed, so that the flower (middle) does not crumble.

The wire is thicker inserted between the petals, after which we begin to attach the remaining petals. That the design does not crumble, we hold details with threads. So alternately attach all the petals, first the first, and then the second group.
If desired, you can weave the leaves (also arc weave) - at least three for each flower. It is important to carefully fix the last arc on the axis - otherwise the design will simply dissipate. The size of the sheet (the length of the arches) must be commensurate with the size of the resulting pink bud.
If desired, individual flowers can be joined into a bouquet.
Flower of beads with your own hands as a stylish decor
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about beaded decor - clothes and accessories. The colors of the beads can decorate the corsage dresses, brooch, barrette or hair rim, a bag and even shoes.
Bead jewelry in the interior looks very interesting. This can be voluminous paintings, flower panels, bouquets of beads, beaded bonsai.
Flowers from beads will also be useful when decorating a room for a holiday - they can decorate a table, nameplates or even make flower garlands on the walls.
A wedding bouquet consisting of flowers-beads is a real trend of this year. Especially relevant are such bouquets for the winter, because they do not fade and are not afraid of frost.
