For beginners, the provided master class may turn out to be either the beginning of a creative path or just an interesting occupation. Living bouquets of flowers are very beautiful, but when cut, they are short-lived. A completely different thing is a unfading bouquet.
Peony from beads is a reflection of the beauty of nature, created by your hands. By following the instructions below on points, even a beginner will cope with the task. Let's get started?
Peony from beads: master class
1. On the wire, collect the beads directly from the coil, about 1 meter.
2. Twist the remaining end of the wire so that one small tip remains about 10 centimeters.
3. At the small tip, dial 20 beads.
4. Slide the large central tip perpendicularly to the small length.
5. Wrap the main wire around a small one, making one turn around it.
6. The result is two arcs. Do this in a circle until you get seven arcs.
7. Then cut the wire and twist.
8. The loop also needs to be cut.
9. The other tip must be bent.
10. Leave 3-4 millimeters from the fold and cut.
11. You should get a petal. By the way, you will need 6 pieces of such petals from seven arcs.
12. Now make the petals of the eleven arcs. They are made just as easily.
13. Such petals of eleven arcs will need 14 pieces.
14. Now we make the middle. Continue without cutting the wire. We collect beads on a snail and count 40-50 beads each.
15. Make a loop.
16. Next, without cutting the wire, step back 5 millimeters and count the beads again. Do it until you get 10 stitches.
17. Now make a bud and leaves. By the same principle, we make four petals for the bud. We make leaves using the same technique.
18. First, pick up green beads, and then the main one and vice versa. Cut about 50 centimeters of wire and make a loop. Then dial 10 green beads and again the main color. Repeat until the desired result is obtained.
19. You should get a petal of 11 arcs.
20. You need to make such 4 petals of 11 arcs.
Peony assembly from beads
1. Take the wire for the stem. On top of the tip, wind a piece of double-sided tape and screw the middle of the loops, for the strength, also wrap it with wire. You can also use threads.
2. Next, tighten the narrow petals.
3. Also in a circle screw large petals, thereby completing the production of sepals.
4. You need to fasten a wire 1 mm thick to the leaflets.
5. Wrap the stalk of leaves with a strip of scotch tape and a strip of corrugated paper.
6. Take a 0.9 mm wire and fold in half. On the tip, glue the petals for the bud with tape - one opposite the other. Connect in the middle with a piece of wire and form a ball. You will get a bud.
7. Then it is necessary to glue the leg with adhesive tape, decorate the stem with a satin ribbon over the adhesive tape. In the course of work, attach one leaf branch.
8. In the same way, create the main flower. After that, wrap the bud with tape and then tape. Remember to attach the bud and leaves.
As a result, you should get beautiful handmade flowers - peonies from beads. The weaving pattern is not complicated and is available for modification in the process.
Necessary tools and materials
Before you start creating a peony from beads, you will need to prepare the following materials:
- 100 grams of beads of the selected color from which you intend to make a peony;
- 50 grams of green beads for foliage;
- wire 0.3 mm thick, 0.9 mm and 1 mm;
- 4 wires for the stem: 40 centimeters long, 1.2 millimeters thick. You can use thick and not so flexible wire - they are sold in hardware stores. Knitting needles from an umbrella, as well as knitting needles from bicycle wheels;
- 3 meters of green satin ribbon;
- teip - tape or green corrugated paper;
- double sided tape.
Some recommendations
If your coil runs out of wire, and you are missing a loop or petal, you can unwind the wire from the coil and cut it off. And then at this end to collect beads.
When you make leaves and petals, cut the wire after a set of beads. When you make a bud, you need to cut the wire immediately and only then pick up the beads.
If you have green beads - large, then you will need to make only five arcs. Common small beads are seven arcs, like small petals. Such leaves will need to be made 9 pieces, connecting three in succession together.
Peony from beads: for beginners instruction
For those who doubt their abilities, we recommend using the facilitated method of the master class. The presented scheme of peony from beads is simple in execution, despite the capacity of the description.
First you need to string beads on a wire thread about 1 meter long. Then the remaining end of the wire is bent so that one edge remains approximately 10 centimeters. After that, 20 beads need to be planted on the short end of the wire, and the main large edge should be shifted vertically with its smallest part. The first wire must be tied with a small circle, and also make a turn from beads once. You need to continue this way until you have seven arcs formed. Then you need to cut the wire, then twist it and cut the loop. Now close the remaining edge, measuring about 4 millimeters.
Peony flower has the first leaf. There should be 6 such petals of beads with seven folds. Next, peony petals are made of 11 arcs, they are formed in the same way. They will need to make 14 pieces.
You can make a core: for this you need to string 40-50 beads on a wire, and also lay a loop for a peony. Next, without cutting the metal thread, you should step back 5 millimeters to count the beads.
Now follow the bud and leaves for the peony. Leaves from beads will be made in the same way as petals: 4 pieces for a bud.
Peony weaving will be carried out using a spinner, beads are put on it. First string green beads, and then pink or burgundy colors. It will take again to cut a piece of wire about 50 centimeters long to create a loop. And also collect 10 green beads, and then pink.
Repeat beadwork, the result is a petal with 11 bends, in which you need to weave four leaves.
Collecting a unfading peony
A peony from beads, the photo of which is presented below, should have leaves of 7 arcs with small petals. You should make 9 pieces of leaves, combining 3. For sepals, 5 loops are made, 30 beads are strung on each of them.
Peony from beads are ready for the final stage - the connection. To do this, take a metal thread for the stem and from top to bottom, reel it with tape and strengthen the middle of the bead loops. Next, thin and large petals are screwed around the entire circumference of the peony. All this completes the sepal binding. Your flower already has a bud. Next, wrap the leg with shiny tape and tape.
During operation, one sprig of peony leaves is inserted. The same will need to be done with the main flower.
The final stage
It takes a lot of time to make this jewelry. However, if you decide to make a flower or something else, then you should start learning with simple elements. For example, to master the basic principles of weaving peony from beads. Over time, you will be able to move on to more complex options for weaving various flowers in flowerpots, as well as trees. Try, experiment and do not despair if something does not work out. Skill comes with experience.
