Flowers from beads look very original, but at first glance it may seem that they can only be weaved by an experienced master. This is completely wrong, even if you are just starting to master beadwork, mimosa of beads is a perfect combination of easy work and spectacular results. Be sure, having mastered master-class "Mimosa from beads".
For work you will need:
- yellow beads (preferably not transparent);
- green beads;
- Green glass beads (the same shade as the beads);
- wire.
- Let's start creating a mimosa from beads with flowers. Cut off a piece of wire length of 55-60 cm, thread it six yellow beads, move them to the middle of the segment and form a loop. We rotate the resulting element of the inflorescence several times around its axis (4-6 depending on the desired result and the size of the beads).
- At one end of the wire, we recruit six beads and turn them into a loop, fixed by the same 4-6 turns.
- Now symmetrically we make the next flower-eyelet, we get a shamrock. The two ends of the wire are twisted together to form a stalk.
- We continue to string six beads and twist the wire, so that in the end we have seven rows. That's the whole simple scheme of a mimosa flower from beads.
- The branch of mimosa from beads consists not only of flowers, but also of leaves, so it was the turn of green beads and bugles. Again cut off the wire length of 55-60cm and thread on it three elements - bead, bugle, bead. We move to the center of the segment.
- Then one end of the wire is drawn through a glass bead and a bead that is far from it. Densely tighten the resulting fragment.
- We continue to make leaves resembling coniferous needles. On the one hand we string glass beads and beads, wrap the wire and in the opposite direction pass through the glass bead.
- Now at the second end we make the same needle. Tightening the wire, do not twist it, as in the case with the inflorescence, and we pass both ends into two green beads.
- To complete the branch with leaves of the plaid nine symmetrical rows, at the end we twist the wire.
- Now that it's clear how to make mimosa elements from beads, you can think about the composition. It is better to make flowers one third more than leaves. Twist first a yellow flower and greens, then combine these pairs of fragments and add more colors to them.
- Complete the composition by placing it in the vase as a bouquet or making a mimosa tree from beads using a decorative trunk.
By the same principle, you can weave and other flowers from beads: lilac and wisteria .
