In this article we will consider such an interesting material as beads. We will learn how to use it and at the same time we will make small crafts. For example, beaded strawberries.

Required Materials

In order to make strawberries from beads, as well as flowers and leaves as in the photo below, you need the following materials:

• beads red - pack;
• beads black - pack;
• white beads - pack;
• beads yellow - pack;
• beads green (light and dark) - two packs;
• wire;
• green thread;

All this will be needed to make five strawberries, three or four flowers and about seven leaves.

Master class for beginners: beaded strawberries

Let's get to work. For the manufacture ofberries we use a technique such as parallel weaving.

Perform the following actions:

1. Cut off the required length of the working material (15-20 cm) and bend it in the middle.
2. Stringing 3 beads. We stretch one end of the wire through 2 beads and gently tighten. It should be a triangle. Rows 1 and 2 are done.
3. Next, we collect 3 beads on one end of the working material. We stretch through them the other end of the working material. Pulling together.
4. In the 4th row we collect 3 red and 1 black beads. We do with them what we did with the previous row.
5. Add one bead in each row, not forgetting to mix with black, until there are 7 beads in a row. We knit another row without adding.
6. Next, in each row we decrease one bead. And we do this until there is only one left.
7. At the end, carefully twist the wire.
8. Make 5 more of these parts and connect them together.
9. Before attaching the last part, put a piece of red paper or a plasticine ball in the middle of the berry so that the strawberry is voluminous and does not bend in the middle.

Now we figured out how to make a beaded strawberry.

Let's start making a flower. For this we need:

1. Cut 5-6 pieces of wire and string 13-15 white beads on them.
2. Next, the ornamental material must be bent so as to make a petal, and twist the edges gently.
3. Starting to the core of the flower. We collect 6 yellow beads on the wire and close them incircle, threading one end of the craft material through the last bead on the other side.
4. After that, we collect 3 more yellow beads and thread the end of the wire through the middle bead. Do this until a small yellow ball is formed.
5. If all the details are ready, then we begin to connect them so that we get a white flower with a yellow core.

The flower is ready!

We start making small leaves. To make them, you need:

1. We take light green beads, and the required number of pieces of wire. In our case, you need to take 32-36 pieces of ornamental material 10 cm each. This is enough for 5 strawberries and 3-4 flowers. For each you need to make 4 leaves.
2. For each piece of wire we collect 10-12 beads and connect the ends, twisting them.
3. After we distribute 4 leaves each and attach them to the bottom of the flowers and berries.

Now let's start making large sheets:

1. For one leaf, you need to type 10 beads on the ornamental material.
2. Next, add 15 more beads on both sides and connect the edges.
3. Continue to do, adding enough beads on each side to make a leaf.
4. Do this for about 3-4 layers.

Repeat the work, while making 12-13 sheets for the bush. Below you can see a photo of a finished beaded strawberry.

When all the parts are assembled, the ends of the wire of each flower, berry and leaf will need to be carefully wrapped in greenthread. After that, you need to fasten all the parts of the bush together. This work also needs to be done with a green thread.

Next, we take a small pot for flowers, dilute PVA glue, gypsum in it and mix with water. Gently stir all this mass and put our strawberry bush in it. Let the plaster harden and paint it in the desired color, or sprinkle it with decorative pebbles.
