Small tricolor flowers that appear early in spring, have so many names, but the most common - Viola. People's name - moths, brothers or pansies, from beads these flags are quite simple. They symbolize wisdom, love and devotion, because there are quite a few legends about the flower. In this article you will find two master classes, from which you learn how to soar Viola from beads using various techniques.
Learning to choose material
Man always sought to decorate his life of handmade things. Even the cave people wore necklaces from fangs, bones and pebbles woven with their own hands. When the first beads appeared, it is unknown. The only thing that remains unchanged throughout the history of mankind is that with the advent of new material after some time began to make beads.
So it was with beads, which is made of glass. Ancient Egyptian scientist managed to comprehend the secret of manufacturing glass, and a little later began to make the first beads. It was just muddy beads of various sizes. They were used for direct rolling on the threads or embroidery of clothes of rich people. Later, a new technique appeared - Mesh Niza, and beadwork became a separate type of needlework. There were many schemes and patterns borrowed from other types of needlework.
Venice was considered to be a beaded center of Europe, where the highest quality glass was produced. Small improvement of Czech masters made it possible to create a more transparent material, and Bohemia became the main competitor of Venice. Czech beads are rightfully considered the best, it has a smooth surface without defects, perfect holes and resistant colors. From multicolored needlewoman beads create real masterpieces that are not scary by time test.

When selecting beads for making crafts and decorations, rely on the following rules:
- The quality material has a perfectly smooth surface and identical holes;
- Tools for weaving - needles, threads, wire - selected in accordance with the bead number;
- For convenience, manufacturers label beads depending on the size, the smaller the number, the larger the beads;
- The highest quality material is produced in the Czech Republic and Japan.
Remember that high-quality material will be the key to getting a beautiful, durable and neat product.
Weaving techniques
Among the variety of technician used by weaving products is easy to get confused. It is customary to consider French or arc equipment and technique of parallel weaving.
The French version involves the absence of beads by arcs, which is performed as follows:
In the photo it can be seen that arcs are formed around the axis from the strip of beads. Each row is fixed by twisting the wire. The number of beads in the arc is constantly increasing until the required product size is achieved.
This option is possible:
Here arcs form steps and weaving shifts down. To achieve such a result, the leap fixation occurs not on the top of the top, but at a short distance from it, right on the arc of the previous row.
This technique allows you to get very realistic leaves and petals that will make the craft "alive."
The second type of weaving is much easier. With a parallel weaving on a wire, the required amount of beads is worn. The beads are fixed by double transmitting the thread or wire through a row, which is clearly visible in this scheme.
Parallel weaving allows you to make a more dense cloth.
But with due diligence, the product is not much inferior to the performed French way.
Mastery composition in a pot
We suggest you to create with your own hands a small composition from the pansy eyes woven with beads. This will help you with a detailed master class with a photo. To perform crafts, take:
- Beads of the desired color for petals, green for leaves and a little yellow for stamens;
- Beaded wire;
- Green yaris threads or moulin;
- Scissors;
- Glue "Moment Crystal";
- Flower pot;
- Gypsum;
- Decorative elements - artificial pebbles, artificial leaves.

Flowers are performed in the technique of parallel weaving. They consist of 5 petals of different shapes and sizes. The lower petal has a "lip" and woves for this principle
Remove 11 Beerin on wire. Five of them move away and fasten the row, stretching the ends of the wire in different directions through it. For the formation of the second loop, it must be divided by 1 bead. Take 11 beery again and repeat the weaving described above. "Sponge" Petal is ready.
Perform 7 rows, alternating colors in such a sequence:
- 4 dark, 3 light, 4 dark;
- 4 along the edges and 9 bright in the middle;
- 3, 12, 3;
- 2, 10, 2;
- 2, 7, 2;
- 2, 4, 2;
- 1, 3, 1.
Wire ends do not twist. The result of weaving is visible in the photo:
The second petal is performed similarly, only without "lips". Type 18 dark bispers and form 2 rows, the first of 8 beads, and the second of 10. Next, dial the rows consistently:
- 4 dark, 4 light, 4 dark;
- 3, 6, 3;
- 2, 7, 2;
- 2, 5, 2;
- 1, 5, 1;
- 1, 3, 1.
Perform two petals.
Upper petals are monophonic, for their formation, type with dark beads of rows, consisting of: 8, 10, 12, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3 beads.
Leafs are performed in the same way. Form the rows consisting of 1, 2, 3, 6, 5, 4, 3, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 beads. It turns out such a sheet with a ladder.
Make the stamens of two beads fixed on the wire.
You need to collect the crawl in the following order. Twist the top petals (monotonous) and connect them with a latch. Connect a pair of side petals and strengthen on the design. At the bottom of the petal with the Sponge. Twist the wire and wrap green threads or floral ribbon. Attach leaves. Depending on the desired result, type the desired number of flowers. Decorate the pot with artificial leaves and pour the diluted gypsum into it. Lower the flower in the solution and wait for it when it grab. Decorate the pot with decorative pebbles.
