Beaded cherries can make a really beautiful decoration, for example, a set of earrings, pendants and brooches. These berries can be added to a juicy summer composition or hung on the keys as a keychain.

Weaving cherries from beads will not take much time, and even a beginner can handle the master class. This is a fun craft. There are several ways to weave a voluminous cherry, but we want to offer you a simple and no less fun.

Master class "Cherry from beads"

We will weave berries using the technique of braiding large beads.

For this you will need:

• 2 large beads, best 8mm, preferably cherry or red;
• cherry color beads;
• green beads;
• thin fishing line;
• beading needle.

Excellent for braiding beadssuitable quality Czech beads. Chinese may vary in size, may be cut unevenly. And then you have to match the same beads to get the perfect weave.

Production method

Let's start weaving cherries from beads. For the first berry, measure 80 cm of fishing line, thread it through a thin beading needle and pass it through the bead. Place the bead, stepping back 5 cm from the free end of the segment. Tie both ends of the fishing line together, fixing them with several tight knots. Place the knot over the hole in the bead. You won't need the short end of the line, but if you cut it at the base of the knot, there is a risk that it will come undone, so first pass it through the bead and then cut off the excess.

Take a needle, type 8 beads on it. For 8 mm beads, this is quite enough. Pass the needle through the hole, thereby rounding the bead with beads. Tighten firmly. So that the beads do not move away from the base and hold tightly, pass the needle again through the beads and the hole in the base-bead.

Tighten the line tighter and go around the base again, but this time without beads.

For the next row of cherries from beads on a needle, dial 5 beads, repeat the same steps with them. Pass the beaded line around the bead, pass the needle through the beads and hole and fix the row with empty line.

The next row consists of 8 beads also. It is necessary to alternate the number of beads until the end of weaving.

There are several rules for weaving cherries frombeads.

Firstly, each next row must be placed strictly in order, that is, next to the previous one, so that the weaving is even.

Secondly, do not forget to fix the beads and the row. This is necessary so that the fishing line does not slip on the bead while using the cherry.

Third, the last row must necessarily consist of 5 beads so that the weave looks the same from all sides.

When the weaving is completed, the fishing line must be fixed. To do this, pass it through several rows and a hole.

Cut off the excess. Here is such a beaded cherry (photo in the article) you should get.

Petiole and leaf

Set the finished beaded cherry aside. For the second, measure the fishing line 100 cm long, braid in the same way as the first, but do not cut off the excess. On it we will weave a petiole and a leaf.

On the remaining fishing line, type 1 cherry-colored bead, pass the needle with the fishing line through the nearest hole. This way you will mask the hole of the bead. Bring out the needle and type 20 green beads on it. Holding the last bead on the line, pass the needle in the opposite direction through 4 beads, skipping the last one. Tighten the line, pressing the beads tightly together.

Next, let's make a leaf. To do this, type 22 green beads on the needle and again, holding one, pass the needle through one bead. Tighten the line tightly.

Cast on 20 beads on the needle, then pass the needle through 22, leading the needle from the petiole. When you pull out the fishing line, you will get the tip of a pointedleaf.

Holding the bead at the tip of the leaf, pass the needle through the remaining beads of the leaf towards the petiole. Tighten the line. The leaf is ready.

Next, we will pick up another stalk of 15 beads, and then put a second cherry on the needle. To decorate the hole of the bead, we string one cherry bead. We fix the weave by passing the needle through the bead. We fix the fishing line by passing it through several rows on the cherry, cut off the excess.

Cherries are ready. Let's find a use for them.

Brooch

Let's try to decorate a beaded cherry brooch. To do this, you will need a ready-made cherry, some hot glue and a brooch pin. Heat the glue, drip on the joint between the leaf and the petioles. Let the glue dry for a second and then attach the pin. Let the product dry and use it safely. The decoration is very interesting and moving.

It's so easy to weave beautiful cherries from beads and even make fashion jewelry out of them.
