An interesting master class for beginner needlewomen. Delicate flowers - bells of beads

Beautiful, bright and at the same time very gentle bells of beads can be a great gift for a girl for any holiday. They will successfully replace the standard bouquet, and most importantly - never fade! In this article, we will share with readers a cognitive master class on the production of these exquisite wildflowers . Bells made of beads are made quite simply, so even a beginner bead master can create a wonderful bouquet. We hope you will succeed!

Bells from beads: a master class. We prepare consumables

Before you start the creative process, you need to buy everything you need. Of course, we need beads. We will create our charming bells from the glass beads of blue, yellow and green hues. If you want, you can pick up beads and other flowers for work. For example, great looking bells of purple, white, lilac and pink beads. We advise you to purchase for the production of flowers, not Chinese, but a more expensive and high-quality Czech glass bead. The products made of it look presentable and luxurious. To make a bouquet of five bells, you need 15 g of blue (No. 10), 3 g of yellow (No. 12) and 7 g of green (No. 10) beads. It is also necessary to prepare the wire cutters, thin copper wire (0.3 mm), scissors, PVA glue and green string floss, which will be needed to decorate the stem. If you want, you can buy a small vase for a bouquet.

The first stage of work: we perform petals

After acquiring all the necessary materials, we proceed to work. One flower will consist of several elements: five blue petals, which are partially connected to each other, three yellow "stamens" and five green sepals. Let's begin the weaving of a bell from beads with the execution of petals in the technique of parallel weaving. We cut off the wire about 55 cm long. We string on it three blue beads. The first end of the working wire is passed through two beads to meet the second. Pull all the beads to the stop, moving them to the middle of the wire. The result is two rows: the first consists of one bead, and the second - of two. Next, continue the knitting according to the scheme: 3-3-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-2-1 (the figure denotes the number of beads in the row). Then proceed to perform the second petal by analogy with the first. After completing five rows, we begin to attach the second lobe with the help of a working wire to the first. By the same principle, we create the third and fourth petals. And the fifth we attach not only to the fourth, but also to the first. The result is a gentle and beautiful bud of the bell.

The second stage: weaving the middle of the flower and sepals

To make the "stamens" of the bell, we cut off the wire about 45 cm long. We sew on it a column of yellow beads 3 cm long. Then make a loop and twist the wire. Repeat the procedure two more times and get the middle of the bell, consisting of three "loops". Now we compress the wire and form narrow, elongated stamens. The figure shows how the core of the flower should look. Now we turn to the manufacture of sepals. For this we will use green beads. We cut off the wire about 40 cm long. We dial eight beads on it. Then let's pass one wire end through the three beads in the opposite direction, except the very first. On the second free edge of the wire string four more beads. Double twist the ends of the wire together. The first "petal" is obtained. Now, at each end of the wire, we make two more of the same parts and twist the ends of the wire several times. You should get a neat needle-like sepals.

The third stage of work: the production of leaves of the bell

After making the bud, stamens and sepals, we proceed to the execution of the leaves. We will produce them from green beads using a technique called "parallel weaving". Will have one sheet of our bells from beads. The scheme of weaving is as follows: 1-2-2-3-3-4 * 10-3-2-1 (these numbers indicate the number of beads in a row). Stringing all the beads, we get a long and narrow sheet. If desired, you can modify the circuit by increasing or decreasing the number of rows. So you will get longer, or, conversely, shorter pieces.

The fourth stage of the work: the assembly of a flower

After all the details of the bell are ready, you can start assembling. Take the blue petals and insert the yellow core into them. Give the bud a beautiful shape. Place a needle-shaped sepals under the bell's rim. Fix the ends of the wires. Attach a sheet to the stem. Continue to twist the wire forming the stem. That's all - our flower is almost ready. It remains only to decorate the stalk of green yarn, floss threads (they will need to be fixed with PVA glue) or floral tape. This is necessary in order to make the product more neat and aesthetic. That's all - a beautiful and gentle bell is ready. Now by analogy we perform several more flowers. After all the bells of beads are made, you can collect them in a bouquet and put in a vase. Creative success to you!
