How to Make Beaded Flowers

You’ll Need:

• Beads of any colour you like, including gold and green.
• Thin wire.
• Thick wire.
• Mouline threads or florists' tape.

Instructions

Beading scheme consists of:

• 6 petals;
• 5 sepals;
• 5 leaves.

Take a piece of wire of a meter and fold it in half. Collect 16 beads.

Create a loop by twisting it. Dilute the edges in different directions, and hang eight beads on them. Twist the base material again. As a result, five loops should come out.

After you do this, put 16 pieces of material, and with one edge, go through the beads 4 loops. Add eight more beads and draw the wire through the space of the fourth bead of the previous loop. Repeat the same manipulations with the second end. The next ridge will be directed downwards. Take 12 pieces of material and push the end through the fourth of the lower loops. This procedure must be woven three times, and on the fifth, string 14 beads, passing the wire through the eighth bead into a nearby loop.

Then, continue working from top to bottom. Take eight beads and pull the end of the wire through the seventh of the future loop. Add twelve more beads and draw the wire edge through 5 beads of the neighboring loop. Perform these actions with the other half until the petal ends.

Now, proceed to work on the border of the petal. Rewind the wire with a length of 40 cm and put it into one thing in the center of the petal at the top of the loop. On the first edge, cast on six beads. The weaving pattern does not change. The hue of the edging should be distinct from the petal to make its relief more noticeable.

The first part is ready. Next, turn to the creation of sepals. To weave them, collect emerald beads on the main material, leaving one at the end and bending it. Move two things to the primary part.

Attach a piece of wire under the beads. String eight beads, and add twelve beads at the edges. Twist everything. The scheme of the next stage of weaving is as follows: on the base wire, put on twelve beads; on the rest, put on fourteen. After all this, twist the three pieces of wire to form a figure "eight." In the thinnest place, tie another wire with beads. Each half of weave will contain 21 beads. On the main part, string 25 beads and attach it to a bead of an arch standing next to it. In the end, twist everything together.

After the 6 petals and 5 sepals are ready, begin to collect them step-by-step. Roll up the petal to make it the core. Attach it to the leg. Also, attach the next one and wrap the first one. Wind the florist tape around them to fix it. Continue wrapping further petals with tape and bend them a little. The sepals will be positioned on top.

Finally, weave the leaves following the French way and wind the tape to the stem.
