March is the first month of spring. Everywhere else there is a deep fluffy white snow, but under its thick layer the first flowers of spring are waiting for their time - snowdrops. And it is necessary to appear the first thawed patches, as white snow flowers appear to replace the snow that has melted. This spring miracle could not leave indifferent human imagination. A lot of legends and fairy tales have been created about the primrose. We did not remain and we were indifferent to this tender spring flower, reflecting the beauty created by nature in our work.
In this master class we will show how you can create snowdrops with your own hands with the help of beads of different colors, thread and wire.
So, for work we need beads: No. 10 white color - 25 grams, green - 25 grams, and also green and yellow - 3 grams. We will also need two kinds of wire, thin for weaving and thicker for stems, green floss, varnish, wire for stems, gypsum, PVA glue, stand for setting the composition.
How to make snowdrops from beads?
For weaving a bouquet of snowdrops, we will get acquainted with the technique of parallel weaving.
The principle of this technique is quite simple: we collect on one end of the wire three beads and conduct the other end of the wire in 2 extreme beads. We draw attention to the fact that the ends of the wire are of equal length. Then, at the first end, we collect three beads and draw a second end through them and so on. Completing the part, reduce the number of beads again.
Snowdrop petals made of beads
The petals are made as follows:
1. Cut approximately 50 cm of wire.
2. In the first row, we collect one salad bead and place it in the middle of the wire.
3. In the second row, at each end of the wire, we collect 2 salad beads and pass through them with the other end of the wire.
4. We tighten the wire so that the beads settle down smoothly.
5. In the third row, one end of the wire is picked up by one white bead, 1 salad and again 1 white, then we pass through them with the other end of the wire.
6. The fourth and subsequent rows are plaited by a white bead by a parallel weaving according to the scheme 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-7-6-5-4-2-2-1.
7. The three penultimate rows of the lats are salad beads. We drag the wire under the petal.
8. The second petal of the plait is the same as the first, but the first lace beads are woven at the bottom of the petal, we draw one working end of the wire behind the side wire in a similar row of the already finished woven petal, we collect two green beads and pass the other end of the wire through them.
9. We tighten the first rows of the petal, then again we pass the wire behind the side of the first petal in the next row, string one green bead to one end of the working wire, the other pass through it.
10. Twist the wires under the new petal. It turned out that we applied a second petal to the first petal.
11. The third petal of the plait is the same as the second, but below we will weave it to the two previous petals, i.e. One working end of the wire is engaged for the first lobe, and the other end of the working wire for the second lobe.
12. Next, we collect two salad beads, go through them, then again cling to the sides of the first petals, we collect one salad bead. We twist the wire under the petal.

Snowdrop stems from beads
Stamens are made very simply:
1. Take the wire length of 20-30 cm, we collect five white beads and three yellow, we return wire through white beads.
2. Recruit 5 white and three yellow beads, return the wire through white beads and once again type 5 white and three yellow beads, return through the white.
3. Wire under the stamens are twisted.
Leaves of a snowdrop from beads
Since the same size leaves in the bouquet do not look natural at all, we will make foliage of different sizes. Smasterim two kinds of leaves - small and large.
Large leaves, we need 7-9 pieces, here you need to look at the bouquet. We will try to make it quite magnificent, but here too it is important not to overdo it, too much foliage on a small bouquet does not look very nice.
1. Take the wire 70 cm long.
2. The first half of the leaf is rubbed according to the scheme 1-1-2-2-4 (20 times) -2-2-1-1.
3. The second half of the sheet is likewise similar. On the wire one bead is typed and one end of the working wire clings to the side wire of the first half of the sheet between the first and second row.

4. Similarly, weave both small leaves, perform two halves of the sheet according to the scheme 1-2-3-4-5 (15 times) - 4-3-2-1.
When all the elements are ready, proceed to assembling the flower:
1. We put the stamens in the center of the flower and slightly twist the wire from the petals and stamens.
2. Insert a thicker wire for the stem and wrap the threads of a green mulina.
3. After 6-7 cm of winding we begin to weave leaves - first 2-3 small leaves, then one big one.
4. Finished flowers can be "planted" in the vase, you can form a plaster of gypsum and cover with white acrylic paint, imitating the snow, sprinkle with white beads. There are many options. Fantasize!
