Beadwork is one of the common forms of needlework. It is considered an old form of folk art. It was improved, changed, corresponding to fashion trends. Beads in itself - tiny beads. They can be from any material, but mostly glass. Decorations, accessories, figurines, decorative items, even fruits with vegetables are plated from beads. Therefore, in this material we will look at how to make grapes from beads with schemes and photos.
A bit of history
The history of beads is very interesting and go far into the past. The art of inventing jewelry began almost immediately, as human life on Earth originated. Before the occurrence of beads, people took as accessories beads from pebbles, animal fangs.
Beads became popular in the first civilizations (Egypt, Greece). They were not only jewelry, but also sources of repulsion of evil spirits. Shells, pods from trees, claws and bones of many animals were accessories. The man who wore the bones of animals, or protected himself from the troubles and diseases, or did herself rustier and courageous.
Clay gave rise to the manufacture of beads. The technique was simple - it was stained and burned. With the improvement of crafts developed metal beads. Beads became not only a decorative element and the subject of decoration, but also a translating coin. Many considered his talisman wealth and well-being.
It is assumed that the place of the origin of beads is Egypt. This is associated with the glass invention. The Egyptians began to produce glass masterpieces, from there and there were beads of glass. Pharaohs of the ancient Egypt decorated with similar clothing beads. Egyptians decorated with beads of dresses, made beautiful accessories.
Syria is the second place where the beads originated. The Roman Empire raised the experience of the art of beadwork in two nations and quickly took advantage of this. Beads gradually received worldwide fame and popularity.

China distinguished himself in this creative form. Created a countable device on which beads moved along wires. All this has entered the frame that is made of wood. Thus, scores appeared. Vikings possessed interesting schemes and patterns, widened clothes, sold made bracelets and necklaces.
Weave beauty
And now let's start a master class on knitting from beads. Today we are creating a beautiful - grape beads.
As always, we prepare the necessary materials for work:
- Beads. It is worth purchasing minimum two - burgundy and green. You can diversify the colors by adding different shades of green. Grapes are of different varieties and colors, therefore not limited to burgundy;
- Wire. It is necessary to use different thickness - thin and thick. The first will need for the manufacture of berries and vines, the second - for the ripples of beads and leaves;
- Threads of the same (similar) shade in color of berries and leaves;
- Floral tape.
Now we take to weave. The master class begins with the manufacture of grape vines, namely from berries.
Since grape berries are large, it is necessary to create a framework. So it will be better to keep the form.
It will be easier to use the proposed scheme:
Red four strips - Wire Celling. First we connect them by twisting the edges in the harness. The yellow circle is the area where the wire is connected. At this area we attach a thin wire. She is a worker. It in the scheme was designated green. Go to the string of beads. Let's tell in more detail.
One bead is rolled on a thin wire. We bind the working wire around the neighboring thick wire. We take the next bead and repeat scrollings. We do as long as it will be one biser between each thick wire. Now the first row is made.
The second row will be the same as the first. Only instead of one we use three beads. On the third row, you will need five beads. It turns out that in subsequent ranks should be two beads more than in the past. Phased by Gohotel Tolstoy Wire, forming a dome.

When the berry reaches the necessary diameter, we reduce the amount of beads in each next row (two beads). Let's leave a small hole to rip the resulting berry with woolen threads under the color of the beads.
We continue to subscribe. When it remains between thick wires on one beading, twist the ends of all the wires in the harness. Do not forget to wind the floral ribbon, after, threads of green. So do so much berries as it takes.
Go to grape leaves. We take 20 cm thin wire. We use one bead and make it up to the left edge. Do not forget to leave a small tail. The long end of the wire is made in the same bead, but in the opposite direction. After putting on 2 beads and do also. Constantly increase the number of beads by 2 (4, 6, 8). 10 Beads - the maximum amount that should be in the row.
Having received this result, reduce beads in the same order. Must form a rhombus. Twice we told the weeding into the last bead and cut. The region leaves about 4 cm. You need such four rhombus. How everyone will be prepared, connect their lower facets among themselves. All elementary: just to turn thin wire into the holes of the most extreme beads, connecting parts of the leaflets. Watch the ends with green threads and leave aside.
On this master class approached the end. It remains to come up with how to collect all the details together. Include your imagination and create. If grapes are part of the bouquet, you can simply screw the ends of the wire to other parts of the composition. You can make a grape tree that can well fit into the interior of the room.
