Chamomile from beads. We make a bouquet of wild flowers

Small bouquets, made up of wild flowers made from beads, will become an effective and very elegant decoration of the interior. Weave chamomiles from beads and make a bunch of them is simple enough, but it will look good in a small jug or vase. Such a bouquet will successfully complement other wildflowers, also woven from colorful beads - forget-me-nots, cornflowers, poppies. Very beautiful and unusual will look like a wall panel, where voluminous chamomiles from beads are "placed" in a vase, embroidered on a canvas or made in the technique of applique.

The flower consists of separate parts: petals, centers, stamens and leaves, which are braided separately and collected in a single whole at the end of the work. For weaving, we need a matte white, yellow and green beads of even, round shape, the same size and a thin silver wire. The scheme of weaving from chamomile beads is quite simple.

The petals and leaves of the flower are plaited by a parallel weave. First we will weave the petal. To begin with, draw a contour of the petal of the desired size on paper. Then take the end of the wire length of 15 cm, at the center of it we place one bead. Now on one end of the wire string two beads and pass through them the second end of the wire. The next row will consist of four beads, also strung on one end and the opposite end of the wire passed through them. The number of beads in the rows is first increased by checking the contour on a sheet of paper, and then gradually reduce, until on the wire again there will be one bead. So we weave 12-13 petals.

The leaf of the daisy is narrow and elongated. To do this, you will also need the end of a 20-25 cm long wire. Draw the leaf on paper, then start the weaving in the same parallel technique. We start with one bead, the second row - two beads, from the third to the sixth row we string three wires on the wire, the seventh row again two beads and the eighth row - one. So we rub 2-3 leaves. The ends of the wire are twisted together, when the flower is assembled, they will be weaved into its stem.

Separately we perform the middle of the daisy. String on the long end of the wire six yellow beads, then one end of it is passed through the second, third, fourth and again through the first beads. We twist the ends. It was a round middle. We give it a slightly conical shape.

We start to collect a flower. Daisies from beads are collected from the middle, to the ends of the wire which are alternately fastened on the petals. To the stem of the flower are attached leaves. Then the entire stalk is wrapped in a dark green thick thread or a floral ribbon. If the daisies from beads are performed as elements of a wall panel, a long stem is not necessary. It is enough to leave a small end of the wire, with which the flower is attached to the fabric.

Beading chamomile can be made by others, for example, in a French way. We also need wire and white beads to weave the petal. And the weaving technique is the following: several beads are threaded onto the wire at once, the number of which is equal to the length of the petal. On top of the end of the wire about 2 cm in length, twist the loop so that the beads do not come off the wire. This will be the base of the petal. Now, to the lower end of the warp-wire, two more turns are fastened with one more working piece of wire, on which beads are threaded one thing larger than on the wire-base. The end of the working wire rises and is fixed above the row of beads by one turn. Now it is re-threaded beads, the end is lowered and fixed from below by one turn. Rows of strung beads must lie flat and tightly to each other. After several rows made for the required width of the petal, the end of the working wire must be fixed from below. The upper tip of the warp wire gently bends back and hides under the beads. So it is necessary to weave the right amount of petals, which then combine into a flower cup with a round yellow center in the center. The middle part and the leaves of chamomile weave in a similar way.
