Master class "Collar of beads" - simple and easy

You can make a chic collar from beads in two ways - using or without weaving. The latter option seems simpler to us. Before you make a collar of beads with your own hands, stock up the following materials:

  1. Using paper or cardboard patterns from the fabric, we cut out four parts of the future collar in pairs.
  2. We cut out the same details from the doublet. In both cases, do not forget about seam allowances.
  3. With the help of an iron we attach a doublet to the fabric, and then we connect them together with a machine seam.
  4. Cut off the satin ribbon in half, sew half of it to the narrow parts of the future collar.
  5. We sew the rest of the paired details to the collar, leaving holes for eversion. Sew a hole manually.
  6. Remained the most painstaking and monotonous work - decorating the collar with beads. To do this, thread 12 beads on the needle and sew the resulting arch to the base in a few stitches.
  7. By these turns we gradually coat the whole product.
  8. The junction of the collar parts can be decorated with a large beautiful button or brooch. However, this is not necessary.

Weaving of collars of beads: a bit more complicated

Luxuriously look collars, braided from beads . Such products can be fully used as a full-fledged decoration, they look so great. We propose to make one of the most simple collars with our own hands. Prepare for:

  1. The scheme of weaving a collar from beads is quite simple - in a cross. Cut a fishing line 2 m long and dial 4 faceted bead-beads on it.
  2. Push the beads to the center of the line. Pull both ends of the line, drag them through one of the beads towards each other. You will get a simple element - a link of a cross.
  3. Next, add 3 more beads and drag the ends of the line to the opposite holes of one of the beads.
  4. In the same way, we weave 3 more links.
  5. Then, using the same collar scheme of beaded plaid, the second row starts adding beads to the upper bead of the link.
  6. Note that for 1 link of the second row adds three beads, and for the second link - only two.
  7. Further similarly we make three more rows, and in the last fifth row instead of 5 links we make only 4 to give a rounded shape.
  8. In the opposite direction from the bottom up we begin to weave a series of 5 links, the next - from 4 links and so on in decreasing order. So our collar will have a characteristic sharpened edge. The ends of the line should be taken out in one place and, having tied into a knot, be cut off.
  9. Further, in the upper corner of the round part of the article we weave a crosspiece in the form of a cross of 4 beads.
  10. A new neighboring cross will be the beginning of the second part of the collar. And the plait of her mirrored first half of the collar.
  11. It remains only to attach the chain. To do this, insert the pin and the ring into the extreme beads and bend it like in the photo.
  12. Attach a chain to the ring, divide it into two parts. The second part of the chain is attached to the opposite side of the collar.
  13. It remains to put on the ends of chains of locks.
  14. Done!
