Lily of the valley bead

The first spring flowers are able to fill the house with comfort and warmth. But for this it is not necessary to go to the forest or buy a bouquet. You and your own hands can weave delicate lilies of the beads, which will lift the mood. Special skills are not required for this lesson. It's enough free time and desire to create a charming bouquet. In this master class we will tell you how to make lilies of the valley with our own hands. The number of twigs in the bouquet is determined by yourself. Of course, the more of them in the vase, the more effective the look will look. So, let's get started!

We will need:

    Master class "Lily of the valley of beads"

  1. We will start the weaving of lilies of the valley with beads by determining the length of the branches. We recommend not to make them too long, so that under the weight of the beads the twigs do not bend. It is enough 13-15 centimeters. We cut off the wire of the appropriate length from the spool, and on it we string ten small white beads. One of the ends of the wire should then be passed through five beads to make a closed ring. Make sure that the beads are as close as possible to each other. First, the flower will look more natural, and, secondly, you hide the wire, which looks not very aesthetic.
  2. We connect both ends of the wire, and then through them we pass one large bead, tightly pushing it to the ring of beads. After that, on the formed twig we sew eight beads of green color. Do not worry about the fact that there is too much hole in the bead. Small beads will hide it. Now you need to fix the green beads on the branch. To do this, pass through the very last one end of the wire, and then tighten it tightly.
  3. Similarly, make a dozen more such flowers. It's time to start forming the branches of the lily of the valley. On a piece of wire one by one, starting from the top, attach individual flowers, making turns with a wire. Try to arrange flowers so that they are on one side of the branch and their inflorescences are directed downwards. The lower the flower, the longer it is to leave the stem, so that the twig resembles the real one. The gaps between the flowers on the branch must be hidden. This can be done using green corrugated paper , floral tape or dense thread. The branch is ready, but it needs to be decorated with a leaf. In this plant the leaves are long and wide, they have the shape of an elongated oval, so we recommend using French technique (weaving with arches) for their weaving. Type on the axis of the beads (6 centimeters), and then make three arcs. After this, make another arc, the length of which should be equal to half the length of the leaf. This is necessary in order to make the sheet wider in the central part. After that, we form two more arcs, and then fasten them, not forgetting to leave the stalk.
  4. Spring bouquet is almost ready. It remains to determine where you plan to consolidate it. You can make a gentle floral composition directly in the vase, beautifully distributing the branches of the lily of the valley with leaves. The lower part can be decorated with sisal. If your vase is too wide, use a small piece of polystyrene. Stick the cuttings into it, and then place the vases on the bottom.
