A bunch of grapes from beads can easily become a decorative decoration of the interior, a festive table or even an elegant dress. The proposed master class "Grapes from beads" will help to understand in detail how to perform this interesting work even for a beginner needlewoman.
For work you will need:
- blue beads for berries (purple, bard);
- green beads for leaves;
- wire thickness of 0.2 mm.
- We begin to create grapes from beads with bunches. We use the technique of cross weaving. In the middle of a wire 30-35 cm long we string four beads of blue color and through one extreme bead we draw the opposite end of the wire. When we tighten, the first cross element is obtained.
- For the next step, put one bead on one end of the wire, on the other two. Through the extreme of those where two, we conduct the opposite end of the wire, tighten.
- We continue the weaving of beads of grapes, creating crosses. When they are typed at five, we turn the chain into a berry - we draw one end of the wire through the very first bead at the base. Tighten the element so that it curled twice and got a rounded shape. We twist the wire.
- A sham is a total of 15 berries. Twisting together, create a bunch. We take one grape for the base, we attach to it the second row of four berries, the next row of six and we finish the bunch with four more berries.
- When the bunch is ready, we begin to weave leaves. A grape made of beads consists of five parts - the middle and four additional elements. The middle is performed in the technique of parallel weaving, adding in each next row one bead, and from the middle diminishing. It turns out the following scheme 1-2-3-4-5-6-6-5-4-3-2-1.
- We make the workpiece for the second element also by parallel weaving according to the scheme 1-2-3-4-5-6.
- Now we take the base of the sheet and pass one of the ends of the wire of the new element between its 7th and 8th row, where the beads are decreasing (between 6 and 5 beads). On the new part, make the next row of five beads, tighten.
- Again, connect the wire with a new part of the sheet to the main one - this time between 8 and 9 rows. We put on 4 beads and tighten.
- We weave subsequent rows, attaching a fragment and decreasing the number of beads. All the same steps are done on the other hand, to get a single element of the three parts, the ends are twisted together.
- It remains to finish the vine leaf from the beads, adding small additions along the edges. By analogy with the previous steps, the spear begins according to the scheme 1-2-3-4, then we fasten between 3 and 4 near the end and we add to completion.
- Pile up as many leaves and bunches as you need to realize the idea of a specific composition, twist them together, creating a vine of beads.
Now you know how to make grapes from beads and will be able to decorate your home or surprise your friends with unusual gifts. Also from the beads you can weave and other berries and fruits, for example, strawberries .
