Technique for performing flowers
The scheme of weaving a lily of the valley from beads begins withexecution of flowers. There are many options for how to do this. But they are most beautiful when using the technique of volumetric parallel weaving. This is what she is invited to use.
- Prepare for each flower for 6 pieces of thin wire, each length is not less than 30 cm. In total, 7 pieces are planned to be made.
- Take one piece and type 13 white beads on it, placing them closer to the center. Then twist them into a loop so that the ends of the wire are from the bottom.
- The next segment to pass through 5 extreme beads, and then at the other end to put on 8 more pieces. Again twist the noose. And so all actions are repeated until there is 1 piece of wire left.
- Also pass it through 5 extreme beads, but it already has 3 beads. And then pass the remaining end through 5 beads on the other side. Connect all together so that the corolla is out.
- To make a lily of the valley bead, like a real one,You still need to weave the middle. On a wire in length of 20 sm to type 2 yellow бисерины. Then pass the wire in the opposite direction through one of them. Get 1 needle.
- In the same way, make 2 more needles. Twist all the ends together. The stamens for the flower are ready. They need also at least 7 pieces. Now you just need to pass every middle into the flower of the lily of the valley.
Executing leaves
Of course, no lily of the valley can do withouttheir magnificent large leaves. There are many techniques for their implementation. The most commonly used parallel weaving or French (arcs). What kind of technique to choose depends on the capabilities and experience of the needlewoman. The technique of parallel weaving is considered to be simpler, and therefore the scheme of weaving a lily of the valley from beads more often assumes that the leaves will be made just like that.
- For each sheet you need 2 meters of wire. For such a number of buds, no more than two leaves are needed, or even one at all. Dial one bead and place it in the middle.
- Further, up to the 21st row, add in each row one bead and weave a sheet in the same way - in the technique of parallel weaving.
- In the 21st, 22nd and 23rd rows will be the same as in the 20th, - 20 pieces of beads. From the 24th to the 27th row there will be 19 beads, and from 28th to 30th - 18 beads.
- From the 31st to the 46th row in each, the number of beads decreases by 1 piece until only 2 beads remain. In the 47th row, you also need to collect 2 beads. Secure the wire.
- The sheet is very large and flexible.To secure it, you need to additionally flash it with wire. To do this, another piece of wire should be threaded through the middle of the sheet, wrapping around each row.
Assemblage of details
Now that all the parts of the flower are ready, you can put the lily of the valley together from beads. Just need to still prepare the thread or floral ribbon. The main thing is that they match the color of the leaves.
- Wrap each flower with threads for a length of about 3 cm. Then, where the winding ends, attach another flower. Both must look the same way.
- To strengthen the stem to wind another thick wire. So you need to do with all 7 flowers. With the help of thread well disguise the entire wire.
- After all the flowers are collected, toat the very bottom of the stem you need to wind 1 or 2 leaves, and at the very top with a thread to fix the flowers. This is necessary so that the whole structure keeps its shape.
Support for flowers
