Roses: a pattern of beads. Weaving of roses from beads: a master class

A traditional addition to almost every gift for the beautiful half of humanity are flowers. Delicate, fragile, unsurpassed, like every woman, they cheer up, please look and attract attention. That's just very sorry when the beautiful bouquet fades the next day, losing its charm.

Artificial alternative

No matter how sophisticated florists, but even the most exquisite bouquet will please its owner for a maximum of a week. That's why they began to look for an alternative to living flowers, creating them from various materials. Paper flowers, applique, embroidery - the most common types of handicrafts as a gift. But as close to the original were the flowers of beads. Due to the size of the material used, the different methods of weaving, the products are so realistic that it is sometimes very difficult to distinguish them from a real flower.

Masters of beadwork developed many techniques, invented various schemes of colors from beads. The rose in these developments is quite common. Which is no wonder, because she deservedly is considered the queen of flowers.

Materials for work

What is needed to create a rose from beads? Weaving schemes, beads (at least two colors, but it is possible and more), wire for weaving, scissors or pliers. Such a simple set will help create a real beaded miracle, which is sure to be the best gift and will very long please its owner.

For the convenience of the bead set, you can use a small, shallow capacity. It is convenient to pour grains of material, preventing it from spilling. In general, the working area of the needlewoman should be well lit, stable and comfortable for work.

Basics of weaving

If you carefully study the master classes presented in special beadwork manuals, it becomes clear that there are several methods of creating a rose. The scheme of beads, even the most sophisticated, in any case becomes understandable, if you carefully work on its decoding.

So, there is a parallel scheme of weaving a pink bud, the master class for making it will be presented below (it is the most simple for beginners, than all the others). This technique is based on elementary knowledge in this area, so work on the product does not take much time and effort.

The second scheme of a flower of a rose from beads is based on the French technique. It is also called circular. This technique is a bit more complicated, since not every beginner needlewoman from the first time will figure out how to create flower parts. But as a result of several attempts, you will still get a stock for the future rose, which, undoubtedly, will be somewhat more elegant than the previous one.

There are also techniques that are very similar to the French weave, but they all require more detailed study and consideration.

Creation of petals

In order to begin work on the creation of a rose (the scheme of beads is presented above), materials should be prepared. To ensure that everything was at hand, did not stop the work and did not risk crumbling, it is better to start working immediately on a stable surface.

For a petal of a rose it is necessary to cut off a wire about 70-80 cm long (since the petals are small). At the center of the wire strung 1 bead. Next, dial 2 beads and pass them through the 2 ends of the wire, tightening to the first. That's what we have in the beginning.

After this step, each row requires an increase in the number of beads (4, 6, 8, 10, etc.). So it is necessary to perform 9 rows, typing the last 16 beads. After that, at each end of the wire you need to dial 9-11 beads and stretch them through the very first. Then the ends of the wire firmly twist. It looks like this:

In the end, we have a ready petal. For a rose of a small size, about 4 petals are needed according to this scheme, 5 petals, which are 1 row larger (that is, the last row ends with 18 beads). The more you want to get the product, the more large lobes you need to weave.

By this method, we recommend weaving small flower buds, from which baskets or small bunches will be perfectly formed.

Creating leaves

The technique of parallel weaving creates also the leaves of the rose, a pattern of beads which is now being considered. To do this, you need to make 8 rows, the number of beads in which - 1, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1, respectively, in each row. Under this scheme, sepals are woven, which are attached directly under the petals. The number of sepals varies from 3 or more, depending on the size of the bud.

The leaves of the rose are slightly different from the sepals. The pattern of beads of these parts is similar to the weaving method, the leaf consists of 11 rows. Below is a diagram showing the increase in the number of beads in rows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 8, 7, 5, 3.

Assembling the product

So, all parts are ready, you can start assembling roses from beads. Schemes, as seen from the step-by-step photos, are very simple and accessible for beginners.

For the bud center, it is necessary to take two smallest petals and bend them almost in half using a circular felt pen. Then you need to insert them into each other.

After that, all the other petals must be tightly attached to the main stem, so that the bud turns out. The last petals, if the size allows, can be beautifully bent.

To the rosebud, immediately attach the sepals, evenly distributing them below. After that, a little lower on the stalk are attached leaves. Then the product can be wrapped with threads of green color (for example, mulina) or floral paper. Everything, a rose of beads, the weaving patterns of which were examined by us, is ready.

Conclusion

As you can see, the creation of flowers from beads - the occupation is simple and quite fascinating. In addition, handmade products are very valuable, because apart from the painstaking work they are invested with time, soul and inspiration. Thanks to small efforts and insignificant expenses, a beautiful rose from beads can be born. The schemes of weaving, as you have already seen, are completely uncomplicated and accessible for reading. Well, as a result, you can be sure that your gift will be the most unexpected, interesting and unique.
