Simple weaving

If you are just starting to master the basics of beading, then try to create simple, less natural crocuses from beads. Schemes of weaving are more understandable, and even a child can use them. Progress:

1. Cut the line approximately 25 centimeters long. We need not only to weave the petal, but also to leave the distance for joining it into one flower.
2. Take the lilac beads. Place a bead around the center of the wire.
3. At one end, go to it from the opposite side of the hole in order to securely fix the bead in place.
4. Now put two beads on one of the edges, and the other thrust into the holes of the beads, heading towards the first end.
5. Tighten and put on three more beads, repeat the same as in the previous step.
6. Increase the rows of one bead until you reach five.
7. Begin to reduce the number, to one.

It was a rhombus. There are three more pieces to make.

Leaves and stamens

Seredinku make it even easier. Take the wire length of ten centimeters. String on it about seven beads and twirl the loop. That's all, just two steps. Now take the petals and twist together with the core for the remaining ends.

For leaves we take 30 centimeters of wire, at the end we make a loop so that nothing slips, and string about 50 beads. Three of them move aside. Without touching the edge, thread the wire into two other beads. Now the edge is pointed. At the second edge, string another 50 beads. Twist both ends. Attach the remaining wire to the flower. There should be two leaves in total.

Thread the stalk with threads, so that it is green, not metallic. Spread the finished product, slightly bend the edges. It turned out pretty cute crocuses made of beads, the master class is just for beginners.

But a more beautiful product requires more effort. Now we need to master another technique.

Circular weaving

Having mastered this technique, you will get as close to real flowers as possible. Materials will need more, but it's worth it. Crocus beads are braided according to the following principle:

1. Cut the wire length 50 centimeters.
2. Ten centimeters from the edge, twist the wire by five centimeters. One edge turns out to be short, and the second one is long, and all the work will be done by it.
3. A short wire is a base, we sew five beads on it, and bend the working wire at a right angle.
4. Now on the long we put on 6 beads. We form the arc, fixing the working wire to the main one from above.
5. String another 6 beads and fix the bottom of the base.
6. As you can see, there are two semicircles separated by a straight line.
7. Do four more pairs of arcs in the same way.
8. Make sure that the roundness is maintained. Plus wire - in its flexibility, so you can easily adjust the shape.
9. When finished, tighten both ends at the bottom.

In total it is necessary to make three such small petals. But to create a whole flower you need to weave three large petals. To do this, take a wire length of 70 centimeters, from the edge, retreat 15, and twist to 7. On the base, string down eight beads, and on the working wire - always ten. It should be five pairs of arcs.

Details

The details are the stamens with leaves. This is done almost the same way as in the first method:

1. On a fifteen centimeter wire, string down eight beads.
2. Place them in the center and twist the remains so that there are four beads on each side.
3. One loop was made, and for a flower you need three.
4. Disguise the wire with green threads.
5. Twist the parts together.
6. Create two sheets according to the same principle as in the first case.

Someone will be difficult to weave crocuses. The pattern of beads is light, but not everyone can understand it, but leaves and stamens are a simple task for everyone.

Now connect all the elements together. In the center of the stamen, around it first small, and then large petals, further - leaves. Twist everything and wind it with green threads.
