  4. In the same way, make another loop, only now you do not need to first put on a large bead (picture 4).
  5. Whenyou will already have five large loops, it remains to make one more. To do this, string three beads on one end of the wire, and two on the other. After that, pass the second end through the third bead on the first wire and tighten the loop (picture 5).
  6. Make three rings of four small beads, as in the picture 6.
  7. Now pass the ends of the wire through the side beads so that they come out on the second ring (picture 7).
  8. String three beads on each side and pass through the one from which the fishing line comes out (picture 8).
  9. Lower the wire down through the beads (picture 9).
  10. Bring the wire to the middle of the adjacent petal (picture 10).

Working order:

  1. Take beads of two different shades of approximately the same size and a few beads larger. You will also need materials for beading and a Christmas ball.
  2. Make a ring out of small beads of different colors. You can alternate colors arbitrarily. For example, six green beads and one white, and so on several more times. Ringshould cover the top of the Christmas ball.
  3. Tie a knot and pass one end of the wire through several beads (illustration 1).
  4. String the beads on the wire drawn out in random order by color and size and make a ring by passing the line through the first bead from the chain (illustration 2). The height of the new ring should be equal to the size of the balloon.
  5. Pass the line through another piece of beads (Figure 3).
  6. Thread a little less bead on the wire than last time (Figure 4).
  7. Pass the line through a pair of side beads of the adjacent ringlet (Figure 5).
  8. String on a few beads and pass the line through the first bead in the chain (Figure 6). As a result, you got a petal.
  9. Make a few more of the same petals around the entire diameter of the first ring (Figure 7).
  10. Bring the working end of the fishing line through one side of the last petal (Figure 8).
  11. Put the craft on the ball and string beads on the working end of the fishing line, duplicating the color order of the first ring (Figure 9).
  12. Pass the line through the bottom beads of the petals (Figure 10).
  13. You should end up with a ring that goes through one bead of each petal (Figure 11).
