A birthday, anniversary or any other date is a great occasion to please relatives and friends with pleasant gifts. As practice shows, the most unexpected and pleasant surprises are "hand made" items - handmade crafts. Self-made souvenirs from the heart will help to please a loved one.
A bouquet of delicate flowers can serve as such a nice gift.
. For example, lavender is a plant beloved by all, to make on its own which patterns of
weaving flowers from beads will help
. And this is how our creation will look like. We will collect it from colored and faceted cylindrical small beads, adhering to the color scheme of the beads.
Getting started, we need to have:
1. Fifty grams of pale green Czech or any other seed beads No. 10.
2. One hundred grams of purple or close to the color of the cabin №11.
3. About 0.05 mm thick copper or other wire.
4. In green color, floral or teip tape, it is desirable that its tone is as suitable as possible to the shade of beads for leaflets.
5. Scissors suitable for cutting wire.
6. A ten-centimeter porcelain or glass vase as desired.
Tips of specialists in beadwork, which should be followed in the process of work:
- if it was not possible to buy a cabin, then it can be replaced with beads. The main thing is that the selected shade match the color of our plant as much as possible;
- making flowers from beads, the weaving patterns of which are offered by many specialized print publications, you do not need to waste time selecting and counting beads. Typing them by eye, you still get a great result;
- the volume of the finished bouquet, made taking into account the color scheme of the beads, can be absolutely anything.
As an example, I propose to consider a bouquet with nineteen branches.
We take in advance a piece of wire about forty centimeters long, carefully align it and string it in the middle of about thirty-five beads. Adhering to the desired color scheme from beads, we divide the cutting into two parts and form two petals of our lavender. Such branches need to be made approximately one hundred eighty pieces.
For the leaves of our lavender, adhering to the color scheme of the beads, it is necessary to string about thirty beads in the middle of the wire segment and twist the required number of leaves (at the rate of two for each twig). In our case, they will need thirty-eight pieces.
Given the pattern of flowers from the beads, collect the branches, folding them in pairs, and connect. Then we form the flower leg, twist the wire. Repeat the steps. An inflorescence of lavender should have nine buds. A leaf is attached a little lower on the leg, one more lower.
The length of the twig is approximately fourteen centimeters, the excess wire should be cut off. Inflorescences need to be spread and the stalk of each received branch, adhering to the color scheme of the beads, wrap with teip tape.
And finally, we put our bunch of lavender in a vase and give it to a dear person.
Happy holidays, friends!
