Bead plaits - the basis for a masterpiece

Beads, perhaps, are one of the most versatile materials for making women's jewelry. The works of the masters amaze with their splendor, graceful and airy, with lots of details and completely unburdened. The simplest and, perhaps, the most versatile of the ornaments are the beads of beads. But even their secrets of manufacture need to be known.

How to weave strands of beads must know every beginner needlewoman. Since beads from beads are a traditional and well-known technique of beading. If you master this technique, then in the future you will easily create a variety of jewelry, since it is the bundle that is the basis for many products.

As for the varieties, the beads of the beads can be round or square, openwork or dense, with a variety of inserts of glass beads, felling and the like. The pattern of the harness can be selected independently, playing with different colors you can create a unique spiral, a rainbow and much more.

On an example, let's look at how a normal dense bundle is trudged. To produce it you will need two colors beads, a fishing line or a strong thread. First you need to string eight beads. Of which all unpaired will be the same color, and the paired ones will be the same. Through the first bead stretch the end of the line so that a ring is formed.

Then we dial the ninth bead and pass the line through the third. Similarly, through one bead string another three. This will result in the second row. In the same order the plait and the next series. If you want the tourniquet to be thicker, you should increase the amount of beads in the first row.

Creating beads from beads, you can use beads of different sizes, so as a result you will not get a solid tube, but a spiral. Do not be afraid to experiment to better master this weaving.

Also beads from the beads can be knit with the help of a hook. This is a more difficult option than the previous one, but it looks more impressive. The harnesses produced in this technique are more elastic and still retain their shape perfectly.

One of the varieties are Turkish beads of beads. For the most part, such a tourniquet is knit with a hook, while using not only beads, but also glass beads. Before you start, you need to determine the approximate length of the product so that you do not need to fix the work thread.

For example, in order to make a bracelet with a diameter of 16 centimeters, you will need 120 centimeters of strung glass beads. Having defined the length, we start the set of glass beads and beads. Alternating beads and bugles, you need to take into account that the number of beads typed along the length should coincide with the length of the bugle.

Beginning knitting, you should crochet an air loop and move it to one set period, namely one bugle and the required number of beads. After that, we knit a half-column in the form of a petal.

Moving on, we also knit half-columns so that the total number of them is three. After this, we make two air loops, grabbing the first half-column along the middle. Then the fourth and subsequent petals fit (for the fifth we use the second, the third for the sixth and so on in a circle). Thus, the product is knit to the desired length, transitions are not needed. When you finish the product, you need to collect the petals one to one. For this purpose it is necessary to tie them with half-stems and tighten the thread, fix it.

There are some secrets to Turkish beads from beads were beautiful and even. Picking up the thread, give preference to the one that fits the color of the beads. For the neat end of the product, the first tier of the harness should be untwined and only then fasten the clasp. You should carefully choose the thickness of the hook and thread and knit tight so that the tourniquet is not deformed.

Ready-made bundles of beads can be supplemented with various elements in the form of flowers, leaves and other miniatures of beads.
