Beading trees lilac. Weaving lilac from beads

This can be embroidery, knitting, origami, or beading. My master class on a lilac bush made of beads will help you create an amazingly delicate and realistic product. You just want to take this tree in your hands and feel the aroma of its inflorescences.

To weave a lilac tree from beads, we need:
Beads of 2 colors: lilac and green. Bead size # 10 or # 12 (Chinese)
Wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm and thicker wire (to form the trunk)
Threads for winding or floor tape
Gray acrylic paints
Alabaster.

First, we will weave tassels for the lilac tree from beads, for weaving we will take lilac beads. A brush for a lilac tree is woven in several rows, in each row there will be a certain number of loops, and beads in these loops.

We string 9 lilac beads onto a 70 cm long piece of wire. Then we pass one edge of the wire through the extreme 3 beads and pull out the wire, forming a loop.
Important: you need to pull out so that the ends of the wire are the same length.

1st row: We string 7 beads on either end of the wire and pass the same end of the wire in the opposite direction through one bead, which is closer to the finished loop. Another loop turned out. Nearby, at the same end of the wire, we make a second similar loop. At the other end of the wire, we also make two such loops.

Now turn the loops so that the center loop is in the middle and the bottom four loops form a circle perpendicular to the center loop.
Bending the loops slightly upwards, string 2 lilac beads on both ends of the wire.

2nd row: In the second row, you also need to weave two loops at each end of the wire. Make only loops from 8 beads. We place the loops in a circle. Between the rows there are 2 beads on both ends of the wire.

3rd row: The third row is woven similarly to the previous ones, only there are 9 beads in the loops. Do not forget to make 2 beads between the rows.

4th row: In this row, you need to make 6 loops, 3 loops at each end of the wire. There are 11 beads in the loops.

5 row: This is the last row. We also make 6 loops in it, 3 at each end of the wire. Each loop contains 12 beads. After that, we twist the ends of the wire together.

Weave the required amount of such brushes. I wove 11 pieces for my small tree, but if you want a bigger tree, then, accordingly, you need more than eleven brushes.

Leaves for a lilac tree made of beads

Leaves for a lilac tree are woven using the technique. We take a wire of 30 cm, make a small one, string 4 green beads onto the axis and make 6 arcs (3 turns). There are 60 pieces of such leaves to be weaved. Now you need to wrap a ribbon with a wire on each leaf.

After wrapping, we will form a twig of leaves. We take 6 leaves and fasten them to each other.

Assembling a lilac tree from beads

After all the details for assembling the tree are ready, we will form a lilac bush from beads.

In general, there are many options for assembling lilac wood. I will give you one of them. And if you do not know how to correctly assemble a lilac tree from beads, then you can assemble a bush according to this master class or in your own way, as you like best.

To begin with, we take 2 brushes and a thick wire 25 cm long. We attach these brushes to the very edge of the wire, fix it more tightly (for fixing, you can use a flora tape or thread with PVA glue).

Important! There is one nuance, if you want to plaster the trunk later, then it is better to fix it with threads, since the solution falls on the floor tape poorly and crumbles.

Below we attach a twig of leaves and fix it. A little lower, but on the other side, we fix the second branch of leaves. It turned out one branch for a lilac bush. We collect 3 such branches.

After you have collected all 3 branches, you need to connect them together. When connected, set them aside for now.

Now you need to collect two more branches from the remaining brushes and leaves. This time we take a 17 cm thick wire and fix one brush on its edge. Below we fix a branch of leaves, and on the other side below we fix the second branch of leaves together with a brush. Now we take the previously collected bush of three branches and attach branches to it to the very bottom. One on one side, the other on the other.

The sweetish and delicate scent of blooming lilacs fills the May air. But just a couple of weeks - and beautiful flowers fly around, leaving only memories of themselves. Fortunately, there are beads that will help hobbyists enjoy the beautiful plant all year round. So, weaving lilacs: a master class with step-by-step instructions will help you with this. You can weave a whole lilac bush or a bouquet, or a small twig of your choice.

There are several options for how to make beaded lilacs with your own hands.

Let's consider one of the ways in more detail.

Materials required for weaving

Beads (pink or lilac and green);
Bugle beads (matching pink or lilac beads);
Wire (ideally, to match the flower);
Floristic flax (green);
Threads (floss);
Scissors and nippers;
Vase;
Alabaster.

Lilac beaded: step by step instructions

1) On a wire about 50 cm long, put on 5 pink beads and make a loop (about 10 cm from the edge):

On the same wire we make three more loops of 5 beads each:

We combine the wire with glass beads, and the first flower is ready:

2) In exactly the same way, about 8 more flowers are woven on the same wire.

A completely woven blank of 9 flowers is fastened with a thick wire. Wrapped in a green floral ribbon

So, the first inflorescence is ready.

Such inflorescences must be weaved in the amount of 30 pieces.

3) The next stage is the assembly of the lilac branch. It is necessary in a checkerboard pattern to fasten all the inflorescences in turn

4) Next, we begin to weave lilac leaves. Here we will be using the circular French technique. First of all, we string the beads onto the wire (in order not to be mistaken with the number of beads and long wire, it is better to collect more beads on the skein). We take another small piece of wire (auxiliary) and twist it with the main one 15 times. The top section should be about 5 cm.

On this piece of auxiliary wire we put on five beads, and then we braid it with the main one.

Having made the first turn, we immediately make the next arc.

6) As you know, lilac leaves have a pointed top, so that we get pointed leaves. The wire must be twisted in a special way, as in the diagram below:

7) We need to weave 7 arcs for each of the leaves. Some leaves can be made from 5,6,8 arcs. After all, each leaf on a real flower is different from another.

8) The remaining piece of wire is cut and folded inward. If you push the tip of the wire through the beads, it will not be visible from both sides.

9) To make the leaf stiffer on the leg, you need to wind more wire, and mask it all with floss threads or a green floral ribbon.

10) For the future branch of lilac, it is necessary to make about 20 leaves.

12) The final stage is the assembly of the twig. To keep the branches tight, we first connect them with a thread, and then with a floral tape.

13) Take a small ceramic vase and fill it with alabaster. In which we stick our lilac, and wait until it dries completely.

This is the kind of composition that should come out in the end.

We also offer other weaving of lilac beads (video with a detailed master class):

For lovers of this spring flower and beads, you can also use the technique - beadwork: lilacs can be embroidered according to such patterns, where the main part of the image is drawn

And the lilac bouquet itself is embroidered.

We hope that our article will help you create spring with your own hands.

Round beads

This is the most common form of bead that can be used in any kind of jewelry. The main exporters are the Czech Republic and Japan. There are also other manufacturing countries. Beads from Japan are large, with a wide opening, more like a square in shape. Czech is smaller, it is flattened, has a small hole, and is oval in shape.

Someone prefers to work with one person - with another. Each craftswoman decides for herself what kind of beads she likes. However, it should be remembered that beads differ in shape and size, which means that they cannot be used in one piece.

Bead coating

It is due to the fact that beads can be of different sizes, textures and colors that it has become so popular. With its help, you can embody all kinds of fantasies, create incredible things.

Beads are:

transparent - it transmits light well and is made of transparent glass;
translucent - light is partially transmitted, this type is made of milk glass;
opaque - does not transmit light.
with a silver line - the hole of such beads is covered with a mirror coating, which can be either completely silver or silver-plated, copper, bronze or gold;
with a line - the hole is covered with a different color;
silk - the glass of such beads is covered with grooves; it has been compared to a "tiger's eye" or silk fabric.

The coating gives the beads uniqueness and certain features that will favorably emphasize the dignity of the thing being made.

Well, the color. It can be anything. Now in specialized stores you can find a huge number of beads of various shades. And the assortment is constantly growing. You just need to choose the best option and start creating.

Composition "Lilac"

The variety of beads encourages creativity. Today we will see how you can make beaded lilacs with your own hands.

For the composition you will need:

two color options for green beads - 100 grams each;
two color options for lilac beads - 100 grams each;
0.3 mm wide;
thick frame aluminum wire;
floristic tape;
two colors of acrylic paints - black and brown; can be replaced with gouache;
acrylic lacquer; can also be replaced with any wood varnish;
stucco or alabaster;
PVA glue;
regular paint brushes;
art stacks; but ordinary sticks will work as well.

The main thing is your own desire and great patience. The work is painstaking, but worth it.

We make twigs

We do not need to start weaving the Scheme as such. Even a novice craftswoman can cope with the task.

So, to make twigs, you need beads of two colors of a lilac shade and a thin wire. First you need to mix the beads. In random order, we string it on the wire.

First you need a few beads. It will be more convenient to weave this way. It is best not to cut the wire from the spool. If desired, you can cut a piece of wire from the coil to the desired length. To prevent the beads from scattering, a loop is made at one of the ends before starting work.

We string the required number of beads onto the wire. Now you need to step back from its end by about 3 centimeters and disconnect 10 beads from the total. In this place we twist the wire. It turns out a loop with beads. In the same way, we make 6-8 more loops on the wire. In total, you should get from 7 to 9 pieces, always an odd number. The distance between them should be the same, approximately 1.5-2 centimeters.

So, we have on the wire from 7 to 9 loops with 10 beads in each. We cut off the wire from the coil or remove the excess. Now we twist the workpiece into a twig. The central loop will be the top, we connect the rest in pairs.

If you intend to make a large tree, you will need about 150 of these branches. And if you want to make a lilac bush out of beads, then 70 pieces will be enough. If the first few branches were given with difficulty, then the next ones will work out great.

Making leaves

We continue weaving lilacs from beads. Schemes for creating leaves are varied. Let's consider a couple of options. Which one to choose for your composition is up to the craftswoman.

In any case, you should first take beads of two green shades and mix it. Of course, thin wire is required.

The first version of the leaves is done in the same way as lilac twigs. For a lilac bush, you will need about 70 such branches, for a tree - a smaller one, about 50.

We continue to weave lilacs from beads. Master class on the second version of the leaves. First, a loop is made of 5-6 beads. Then, over this loop, another loop should be applied. There will already be about 15-17 beads in it. The leaf is a loop in a loop. Having departed 2 centimeters from this leaf, we twist a few more leaves in the same way. In total, there should be 5-7 pieces of them on one branch. It curls in the same way as in the first option.

For a bush, you need about 100 such branches, and for a tree - 50 or 60 pieces.

Making lilacs

So, we continue weaving lilac from beads. Manufacturing schemes are very simple. You need to take one green and two lilac twigs, twist their bases together. We do the same with all branches.

You can also make a bouquet of lilacs from these twigs. You can make anything from beads, any composition. As far as fantasy and desire are enough.

We will form a tree. Twist several branches together. It is imperative to ensure that the direction of twisting is the same. Otherwise, the branch will be skewed. On average, 30 branches come out.

We continue to weave lilacs from beads. A master class on making wood suggests that you cannot do without scissors, floral tape and wireframe.

A branch of lilac is tied to the end of the wire. To form one large branch, 2-3 branches of lilac are attached to the frame. Similarly, we form the rest of the large branches of the future tree.

Now you need paint. It should be remembered that it is better to paint the branches separately, before the tree itself is formed.

When the branches are dry, they are carefully twisted together to form a tree. The branches need to be connected in a spiral, additionally using a floral tape. It will give us the relief of the trunk, making it more realistic. We try to end up with a branchy bush.

Trunk formation

As you can see, there is nothing difficult in weaving lilacs from beads. Schemes for the manufacture of a gypsum barrel are also not particularly needed. You will need some kind of plastic container, gypsum and PVA glue. We dilute the gypsum with water, add glue to the mixture and stir until a homogeneous mass is obtained. The consistency should resemble cottage cheese.

The formed bush is placed in a container and filled with a plaster mixture. Now you will need to hold it in this state until it dries. After making sure that the tree is firmly on the stand, we form a trunk with a plaster mixture. Using art stacks, draw the bark on the tree.

And the final touches. We paint the finished trunk again, cover it with varnish and decorate it as we wish. These are the trees we get using beads. The lilac scheme is not the only one. Many other compositions can be created in the same way.

Finally

Beads are an amazing material that allows you to embody the wildest fantasies into reality, you just have to show a little patience and skill. You can weave flowers, bouquets, trees. Whether it's lilacs or other plants, everything looks amazing.

Spring can always be with you if your home is filled with small elements of it, such as flowers. You can make artificial flowers from beads, looking at them, even in winter you will have a good mood and warmth in your soul. Let's learn how to make these lovely flowers with our own hands together.

How to make beaded lilacs at home?

To weave lilacs, we need beads of two colors, purple and green, as well as wire and green floss thread.

In order to make a sprig of lilacs, you need to know the looping technique. It is very simple, everyone can handle it. This is the so-called set of beaded loops, made according to the following scheme:

Let's start!

1. We take beads and a piece of wire 20-30 centimeters long and start to weave. Depending on the size of the beads, the number of beads will be different, we got 5 pieces. on one branch. We make 5 to 7 loops on each branch. We twist the wire into one piece.

2 ... Then, we bend all the loops to the top.

3 ... In the same way, we make many more blanks, because 3 pieces. this is just the beginning!

5. We stick them randomly so that they look like a real lilac. You can make several of these blanks, and then connect everything together.

Here's a twig we got!

6. Now, let's start weaving the leaves. We will make them using the French weaving technique (the technique of lowering by arcs).

Here is the weaving pattern:

We begin to weave a sheet of lilac, for this we string beads on the wire and make a small circle on the edge (see photo).

We do about 15 turns.

7. We put on several beads at the end of the wire and wrap it with a working wire.

9 ... Cut off the piece of wire that remains.

10. We repeat the same with the rest of the leaves. Then we fasten them together with a thread.

People have been engaged in embroidery and weaving from beads for several millennia. This type of needlework does not require the use of special tools. All you need is needles, threads, scissors and beads.

Round beads are the most popular because they are easy to use.

It is mainly exported from:

Czech Republic - not very large, flatter beads in the form of an oval with a small hole;
Japan - beads of a square shape, large with a large hole.

Due to the different sizes, textures and shades, beads have gained their popularity. This material allows you to make great things: embroidery, wood, flower, decoration. You can find a suitable product diagram on the Internet.

For beading, only the imagination of the needlewoman serves as a limitation, but it is impossible to combine beads of different shapes and sizes in one product!

Beads come in different shades of colors. Release it and with various coating options giving the finished product uniqueness:

transparent (made of transparent glass, has the ability to transmit light);
translucent (made of milk glass, has the ability to transmit light partially);
opaque (does not have the ability to transmit light);
with a line of silver color (the hole is covered with a mirror dusting of a silver, silver-plated, copper, bronze or gold shade);
with a line of a different color;
silk (glass is covered with grooves, it is compared to silk or "tiger's eye").

You can make embroidery from beads, or you can weave various products. As an example, you can use the master class "Lilac from beads".

About composition

When spring comes, nature comes alive. This wonderful time of the year is rich in amazing colors: the first leaves bloom, green grass breaks through, the sky becomes clear and blue, spring flowers appear, including lilacs.

This is a very beautiful bush. with various shades of delicate flowers. Therefore, with the arrival of spring, many needlewomen begin to make such a tree that will decorate the interior and become an excellent gift.

Many patterns of embroidery and beading have been created now. Such schemes are not very complicated, so beginners can use them, the main thing is to be patient and finish what they started!

There are also various master classes on how to make beaded lilacs.

What is required to make beaded lilacs?

The technique of weaving a tree from lilac beads has several differences from how to make branches of other plants by beading.

Conducting a master class on weaving lilac from beads requires availability of the following items:

beads for embroidery of lilac petals of purple, light purple, white or white-pink color with a glossy or matte finish, but not transparent;
green beads (you can use a dark and light shade to create interesting color blotches) for weaving leaves;
thin wire of normal and green shades;
a vase or a ceramic pot to place a ready-made lilac made of beads there (it will be decided to use a pot, then to fix the product you will have to use gypsum or polymer clay, as well as artificial moss and small pebbles to decorate the area around the branches).

The process of creating beaded embroidery lilac

A special scheme to create a lilac from beads, the master class for which is presented below, is not required. The whole process of making flowers, branches and leaves is very easy.

First you need embroider (form) inflorescences. Then you need to create the leaves, then all the elements must be brought together.

Cast on 5 or 6 beads and twist the wire to form a loop. The amount of scrolling is 1 centimeter. After that, you need to do similar loops to one side of the resulting loop. But the number of beads will be different (from 5 to 7 pieces), this is necessary in order for the flowers to be realistic.

A scheme is suitable where the size of the loops decreases at the top of the inflorescence and increases towards the center.

When all the loops are created, then you should gently bend and twist the wire together between the hinges. This process should be carried out until all the loops are placed opposite each other. Then you need to direct all the loops with your hands to the tip of the inflorescence so that they "look" up. The first inflorescence will form. It can be more lush by adding a similar element in a smaller size.

Petals are made in the same way as inflorescences, but the loops themselves twist tighter and do not direct (they "look" from the central wire).

The entire composition will be assembled using the tips of the branches and you do not need to cut them. When the study of the elements is completed, the length of the wire should be from 30 to 40 centimeters (a margin is needed!).

According to the scheme of this master class, one branch will consist of 15 embroideries (blanks) of inflorescences. The stalk needs to be processed(choose the appropriate option):

glue with brown adhesive tape;
wrap with green wire;
wrap with green wire;
wrap with green embroidery threads (floss).

When processing blanks, you should collect them together, creating a twig.

Further, following the simple scheme of this master class, need to prepare leaves using the technique of weaving in a circle. It is necessary to create from 7 to 9 leaves and completely collect the branch, not forgetting to also wrap the stems with floss strings before that. As a result, you will get beautiful lush bunches of the product.

The finished tree made of lilac beads must be put in a vase or pot. For the second option, use plaster, diluted with water, and pour it over the entire base in the pot. You can decorate the resulting composition, namely, the area around the resulting lilac bush, with a pre-prepared decor (moss or pebbles), put it in a prominent place in the room and enjoy the view of this wonderful handmade product.
