• If necessary, if you create a panel, you will need a fabric as a base.
• You can also stock up on sequins, beads, or clasps if you're planning to create jewelry.
• If you plan to create a 3D figure, it must have a rigid shape. For this purpose, you should buy a special copper wire. To it pick up a cloth to match the color of the beads, with which to wrap the surface of the wire, so that it is invisible in the product.

As can be seen from the list above, it is important at the initial stage to decide what will be created in the form of the final art object of beaded flowers.

Weaving techniques and some tricks

There are different ways of stringing beads on fishing line or wire. Each of the bottoms is used in certain cases. Therefore, to create complex objects, it is desirable to master all kinds of techniques. Here are a few basic ones on which the others are based.

Flat weaving.

When it is necessary to perform leaves or petals of different shapes - round, pointed, pointed, pointed, flat parallel weaving is used. To do this:

• Start with the desired number of beads strung on the fishing line. They are placed in the middle.
• Then on either end of the fishing line thread the next row as the desired number of beads. Through this row it is necessary to pass and the second end of the fishing line, so that it comes out on the opposite side from the strung row.
• Then the action is repeated - in each row of beads laid out as a number of beads, which will correspond to the desired pattern.
• Using this technique, move from one edge of the element to the other.

French weaving technique

Similarly performed French technique of weaving. But the difference of this method is that first the central row is performed. And then, around it, the following rows begin to braid, dividing the product as if on the right and left parts. The fishing line in this case is also skipped in each row on both sides.

Features of created objects

Performing this or that object, it is necessary to take into account certain features of the actions performed.

Flowers from beads for clothes

When it is necessary to create elements for clothing decoration, it is necessary to adhere to the following tips:

• Weaving flowers from beads beautiful, but not complicated, is carried out on transparent fishing line.
• The bases can not be made frame. Otherwise, the created object may look unnecessarily rough.
• It is important that in the middle there is an opportunity to fix the central thread.
• Do not make too massive pieces, as they will be too heavy and may pull down the fabric, creating unsightly fringes. In this case, the clothes to be decorated will look somewhat unkempt.

Beaded panels

If you need to create a floral panel of beads, it is important:

• Pick up fabric as a base and stiffen it on the frame.
• Each beaded element is created separately, then assembled into a single flower.
• Each flower, along with leaves and stems, is attached to the fabric. This should be done at several points, usually in the middle of the element. In this case it will be securely fixed and turned the right way.

Three-dimensional models of flowers from beads

Another object that is quite often created from beads is the real three-dimensional models of flowers. As a rule, they may consist of several branches, which are fixed on a base or placed in a vase made of beads or other material.

In doing so, you should listen to the following recommendations from beading experts:

• Use a fairly dense copper wire as a base. It will create the framework which will keep the whole composition in the right form.
• To make the wire is not visible, it is prebraided with a thin fabric, which in color completely duplicates the beads. In this case, the product will look neat and elegant.

Before performing any three-dimensional models, it is necessary to see a master class, where complex flowers from beads for beginners are created. This will help not to make a mistake and avoid redoing the entire work. It should be remembered that you can create your own models only after gaining some experience in beading.

For those who are still undecided what flowers from beads they want to create, the presented photos and diagrams, which detail step-by-step steps to obtain a particular image, will help.

For beginners it is recommended to practice the technique on the simplest products and only then move on to more complex designs. The beauty of this technique of beading is also in the fact that the master always has the opportunity to remake the product, while retaining the beads.

String and wire in this case are consumables. Their price is not so high, so you can always remake the work if something is not to your liking at a certain step.
