How to make chrysanthemums from beads: instruction for beginners

Chrysanthemums from beads will help to update the interior of the house. They can be made for decorative vases of small size or decorate them with pots of the type of topiary. This flower can be made in different ways, the petals can be narrow and convex, and the leaves - oval and patterned. Let's start with a simple method.

Flowers from beads: single-layer chrysanthemums

If you look at the live flowers, you will see many varieties. They can be large terry, small shrub and single-layered, somewhat resembling chamomile. Flowers are monochrome (white, red, yellow, purple, pink, orange, green) or bicolour. Let's start making chrysanthemums with simple varieties.

For the production of flowers you will need:

• Beads of white, yellow and green color;
• wire;
• Green paper or thread;
• scissors;
• plastic bottle.

From white beads make 7 trefoils. To do this, on a wire 25 cm long, dial 35 beads, cross the ends through the last bead. Further on the same wire you make the same petal, where 6 beads will be more. By the same scheme do the third petal, which is a copy of the first. The ends of the wire are twisted.

The middle of the flower is made like a mimosa: string 5 yellow beads onto the wire and twist the eyelet. Make 5-6 such plexuses. Then squeeze them into a lump and twist the ends.

Assembling chrysanthemum

We continue to make chrysanthemums from beads. Now from the green beads make a sepal of 9 leaves. Make it by analogy with shamrocks, only the number of beads on all the petals will be the same - 26 pieces. It is better if you take a long wire and make nine petals at once, connect it to a circle and twist the ends of the wire.

Now, from a plastic bottle, cut a circle with a diameter of 1 centimeter. In it you need to make seven holes around the edges and in the middle one hole. Insert the blanks of the petals into them. From below, pass the sepals and only then pierce the core.

Now make a few leaves. The easiest way is to thread the beads on the wire so that a petal of the desired length will turn out. Then the end of the wire is passed through the bead from below, type beads on it and again conduct the wire through the upper bead, that is, fill the petal with beads. Trim the trunk with corrugated paper or green threads. Attach the leaves in the right place.

Weaving of chrysanthemums from beads from 10 tiers

Terry flower consists of 10 tiers, where the petals are of different sizes. For the first tier, take a 40-centimeter wire and make five petals out of 14 beads. For the second tier on a 50-centimeter wire, also make 5 petals of 28 beads. The third tier is made of 70-centimeter wire and 34 beads. In total you need to weave 7 loops.

The next 4 tiers consist of thin petals. For this, on a 75-centimeter wire string 21 beads. The second end of the wire is pulled through 20 beads and twisted. Such petals make 9 pieces for each tier. By analogy, you make from a 90-centimeter wire and 24 beads of 9 petals for three more tiers.

Now put the tiers in each other and twist the wire. Near the core of the petals bend inside, the outer slightly bend. Next, weave the leaves in a parallel weave. The sheet consists of two symmetrical parts. First weave one half, then the wire is dragged through the rows and a second part is created.

Curved Sheet Scheme

The sheet consists of 24 rows. Wire drag through all the beads in the row:

• 1st row: 1 bead.
• 2-3 rd .: 2 beads.
• 4-5-р р .: 3 pieces.
• 6th row: 4 beads.
• 7th р .: 5 pieces.
• 8th р .: 7 beads. String another bead and drag through the last two, creating a bend.
• 9th р .: eight pieces.
• 10-11th р .: 7 beads.
• 12th р .: 8 beads. Dial another bead and draw through the last two.
• 13th р .: 9 pieces.
• The 14th р .: 8 beads.
• The 15th р .: 7 шт.
• 16th р .: 8 pcs. Type one bead and stretch the end of the wire through the last two. This will be the last - the third - a bend on the sheet.
• The 17th р .: 9 pcs.
• 18th р .: 8 pcs.
• 19 th р.: 7 pcs.
• The 20th r .: 6 pcs.
• 21 rd .: 4 pcs.
• The 22nd р .: 3 шт.
• 23 rd .: 2 pcs.
• 24th р .: 1 bead.

Then, drag another piece of wire through the flat side of the sheet and weave in mirror image the second part of the sheet.

On one stem you have two or three leaves. The trunk is wrapped in green paper. By analogy, create a whole bouquet of flowers. Such chrysanthemums from beads can be made two-colored. For this purpose, the beads are divided into three parts and the middle is strung with beads of a different color.

Simple weaving of unusual colors

Take the beads of different colors and make a few tiers in a loop way. For the middle of a wire length of 60 centimeters, make 18 loops, each with 13 beads. Then twist them into a roll and the ends of the wire wrap around the stem of the flower. This can be a stick or a thick wire.

The second tier is made of wire length 70 centimeters. We need to weave 20 loops, each of which will have 21 beads. The third tier will consist of 32 loops, where there will be 23 beads in a loop. Carefully fasten these petals to the core.

Then go to the main petals. You need to make 30 loops of 31 beads. In the next tier there should be 15 loops of 37 pieces, and in the last row there are also 15 loops of 43 beads. Now collect all the petals in the flower, wrapping the ends of the wire around the stem.

Next, make the leaves, as in the first method, filling the space of the petal. To the flower, fasten 8 sheets, which form a sepal. Stalk wrap with green paper and fasten two more leaves. It turned out a kind of astra or chrysanthemum from beads.

A few more options for weaving petals and leaves

In the above examples, the petals are woven in a loop fashion, while in each tier the number of beads is added to 4-6 pieces. Also, the chrysanthemum flower is collected from loops and single bead sets. But you can make two more variants of petals.

In the first variant, the petals are made, as it were, with stamens. On the wire, put on three beads and cross the ends through the last two beads. Next, collect two pieces of beads two more rows. Then join the ends of the wire in one bead. Twist the ends of a centimeter by 1.5-2 and one end of the wire thread one bead, twist also 2 cm. A petal with a branch was obtained.

In the second case, make the chrysanthemum petals from the beads are solid. On the wire, dial 5 beads. One end of it through three beads. Further three more rows weave three beads. Then there are 3 rows of two beads. Finish the petal with one bead, twist the ends.

To make unusual leaves, go to the French weave, that is, to the main wire, you will fasten the other pieces and connect in the right places. Take a 50-centimeter wire and screw to its end another segment. Type 20 beads on it and make a petal. At the second end, you also gain as many beads and make a petal. It turns out a leaflet with a streak. Then tighten the pieces of wire and make such arcs two more times on each side.

Then back off a little from the bottom and make a leaf with a streak on the right side, only each arc pass through the beads of the first leaf. You do this leaf on the left side. Shamrocks for one flower need about four.

It turns out elegant chrysanthemum from beads. The scheme of petals and leaves is simple and understandable even for beginners. Just vary the different ways - and get unusual flowers!
