Beadwork has come to us since Ancient Egypt. It was there that skilled craftsmen decorated clothes, wove jewelry, and made headdresses from multi-colored glass. Then, after some time, this art migrated to Venice and since then, beaded jewelry, various products, always remained in fashion and did not leave anyone indifferent. Anyone can do this business; you just need a little patience, basic skills and the necessary handicraft kit. We will tell you how you can make beautiful decorations for your home or unique gift for family and friends.
Making flowers from beads
These orchids will undoubtedly please your guests. They will become a real decoration of any interior.
To make flowers from beads you will need:
- light and dark red and silver beads;
- bugles for the middle;
- scissors, brush, glue, wire cutters;
- green threads;
- fine and coarse wire.
Next, we use French weaving and make a round sheet of ten rows. Then we fix the edge of the wire at the top. 
We make two petals. This is enough for one flower. Do not forget that you need to secure the product well so that it does not lose its shape in the future. To do this, you need to take a wire and “stitch” the petal with wrong side. Now you can start working on the oblong leaves. You need 3 of them. To do this, we collect 8 beads on the main thread.
We fix it and dial another one. It needs to be secured between rows 1 and 2. We make eight such rows. Then we take two wires 20 cm and 30 cm. We collect 8 beads on the main axis and make a leaf of 4 rows. Then we attach a leaf of 20 beads to it. 
The middle is made of silver beads. It can be made smaller or larger as you like. I took 10 beads for each of the 4 petals, between which I secured glass beads. 
Now all the elements to complete the flower are ready and you can assemble it. Fasten all the parts one by one as shown in the figure. 
Next you need to make 1 more flower of the same size and 2 smaller ones. They are made according to the same scheme, you just need to slightly reduce the amount of beads collected in the petals. The middle remains the same. All that remains is to make a bud. For it you need to make 3 oval petals. Which are then twisted and secured 
Now let's move on to the stems. To do this, secure the end of the wire in a flower or bud, coat the threads with glue and wrap the wire tightly. We do this with all flowers. The glue should dry well. After that we put the whole composition together. 
It turns out such beauty! Perhaps this video will help you better understand the technique of making flowers from beads:
How to make pansies from beads
Pansies very delicate and beautiful flowers. You can make them anywhere color scheme. As you can see in the picture, they can be red, white, yellow, blue with different centers and leaves. All depends on your imagination and invention. But if you want to create a more realistic composition, use natural colors. 
First you need to make petals. They come in three types, but they all start at the top, as indicated in the diagram.
For one flower you need two upper and one lower leaves. Then move on to the leaves. 
You can make three of these leaves for each flower. Or distribute them evenly in a bouquet. It all depends on your desire.
Beaded pansies: weaving patterns
We offer you one more interesting option beaded pansies. The flowers turn out very beautiful and elegant, just like in life.
To do this, we put 1 yellow and 2 beads on a 50 cm long wire, make six bead loops, then attach more wire. We secure each petal with 2 more yellow beads. 
We thread the ends of the wire and tighten them. Thus, we get a curved petal. 
We make another exactly the same petal and attach it to the first one. Then, according to the diagram, we make two smaller leaves. 
Next, we make two more small petals, connect them together and secure them well. 
After that we connect everything together. 
As you can see, shown here different variants weaving leaves, you can use one, it will be much easier for beginner needlewomen. 
We put the finished elements on the wire and wrap it with green threads, which we pre-wet with glue. 
As you noticed, do something like this beautiful flowers even children can make beads. Therefore, if you like this kind of needlework, get to work and you will definitely succeed. First, make one small flower, and then you will be able to even large bouquet. The main thing is to have the desire to create.
Beading is one of the in the most beautiful ways self-expression. In addition, such cute trinkets can perfectly decorate a room and become a good gift or just to please. Below is a master class on creating pansies.
Beaded pansies: master class
To create this product you need to prepare: alabaster or plaster, pebbles, green floss, Moment glue, small beads yellow color, fern leaves (other leaves may be suitable, but they must be artificial), thin and thick wire, a not very large flowerpot, as well as beads in black, orange, yellow, brown, blue, white, green, light lilac and dark - lilac shade.
Weaving petals
You should start by creating petals from beads. You can also see in the photo the stages of creating petals.
Here is a diagram of the lowest petal. To create it, you need to string eleven blue beads onto a thin wire, then move five of them away, and pull the wire through the rest again. Then, carefully tightening the loop, you need to string another one.
After this, you should again collect eleven beads on the fishing line, making another loop.
To create the entire petal, you need to string eight more rows, which will be of two colors.
1) There should be four dark beads on the sides, and three light shades in the center;
2) There are four dark ones on the sides, nine light ones in the middle;
3) On the sides there are three dark beads, in the middle there are twelve light beads;
4) There are two dark ones at the edges, twelve light ones in the middle;
5) There are two dark ones at the edges, ten light ones in the middle;
6) Dark at the edges, seven light in the middle;
7) There are two dark ones at the edges, four light ones in the middle;
8) There is one dark bead at the edges, and three light ones in the middle.
After the eighth row is made, you get a petal that is narrowed towards the bottom. It is better not to twist the ends of the wire yet.
After the bottom petal you need to start making the side petal. For this you will need light blue and dark blue beads. The weaving pattern is almost the same as the previous petal, the difference is that this one will be a little smaller.
Eight blue beads are placed on the wire, then ten more are put on one side, through which you will need to pass one end of the wire, you will get two rows at once.
After this you need to create seven more rows:
1) There are four dark colors along the edges, and four light colors in the middle;
2) Along the edges are three dark beads, six light ones;
3) Two dark beads, seven light ones;
4) Two dark beads, five light ones;
5) Same as the fourth;
6) One dark, three blue in the middle;
7) One bead at a time - dark, light, dark.
In total you need to create two side petals.
After them, two upper petals are created (preferably, of course, of blue color). The first row is created from eight beads, the second from ten, and the third and fourth from twelve, the fifth from eleven, the sixth row from nine beads, the seventh from seven, the eighth from five, and the ninth from three.
After this stage, you need to create leaves for the flower. They weave according to a similar pattern. In the first row there is one bead, followed by two, the next row contains three beads, then you need to put six beads on the fishing line, then three rows in descending order - that is, five pieces, four pieces, three pieces, and then - again six pieces. After them - again five pieces, four, three and two.
In this way you need to create several leaves for the flower.
Weaving of stamens
After them you need to move on to the stamens of the flower.
They will need wire and small beads. Two yellow beads are pulled onto the wire, then the wire must be twisted to twist them together.
Having created a certain number of stamens, you can begin assembling the flower.
Beaded pansies: flower assembly
First, the upper monochromatic petals are screwed to each other. They are joined by a stamen. Afterwards the side petals are screwed on and attached to the top ones. After this, the lower petal is attached, but carefully so that the wire can be hidden behind the side and upper parts. Having gathered the head of the flower together, you now need to attach two leaves to the flower, and then wrap them all together with floss threads.
To make the composition look beautiful, you need to create seven similar flowers, then they can be placed in a flower pot.
In order to decorate the pot, you can glue it to it artificial branches fern. After decorating the pot, alabaster is poured into it and the top is sprinkled decorative pebbles. You need to quickly put the pansies in the pot, otherwise the plaster will harden.
A nice gift for friends or just a table decoration is ready.
You can complicate the task and make petals using the French bead weaving method. French weave differs from the usual one in that the rows are woven in a circle.

Beaded pansies turn out to be very delicate and beautiful, and to make this beauty you will need a little patience and not a large set of materials, so their beauty will remain with us for a long time winter evenings, let's make a bouquet of these flowers. To make it you will need: beads different colors, wire for weaving, floral tape or thread (for decorating the stem).
PANSIES IN THE LOOP METHOD
Let's look at the technology using the example of a blue flower with a yellow center. For 1 petal, prepare a piece of wire about 45 cm.
- String 8 yellow beads onto the wire and twist them into a loop.
- We string 3 yellow beads on one end, blue ones, as many as will go to the other edge, if you lay the wire around the loop and 3 yellow ones, make a twist.
- 4 yellow beads, blue again, as many as will fit, 4 yellow. Wrap around 2 loops and secure.
- In this row, knit 5 yellow beads along the edges, and as many blue beads as will fit between them.
- This chain contains all blue beads. Twist the finished petal and cut off the excess wire.
- According to the scheme, make 3 petals, in one make the middle of 9 beads (lower petal). Make 2 petals according to the same pattern using only one color of beads (blue). The middle can be done like this: put a bead on a piece of wire and twist it in the center. Cut off the excess wire.
- Assembly: twist two plain (without middle) petals for the top together. Then add 2 side petals to them and immediately the middle. The last thing to attach is the bottom petal, before it needs to be bent to position it correctly. Lastly, wrap the stem with floral tape.
PANSIES IN PARALLEL WEAVING
We suggest not great master class on weaving a violet flower from beads with a detailed description and diagram in the photo below.
Let's start weaving from the bottom petal.
String 11 beads onto the wire, move 5 beads and thread the wire through the rest again, tighten the loop and put on another bead. Then we collect 11 more beads and make the same loop - we get the first row of the petal. To finish the leaf you need to weave 8 more rows. Designations: T – dark color beads, C – light color beads
- 8 row – 2 T., 4 S., 2 T.
- Row 6 – 2 T., 10 S., 2 t.
- 4 row – 3 T., 12 S., 3 T.
- 2nd row – 4 T., 3 S., 3C,. 4 T.
- 3 r. – 4 T., 9 S., 4 T.
- 5 rub. – 2 T., 12 S., 2 T.
- 7 rub. – 2 T., 7 S., 2 T.
- 9 rub. – 1 T., 2 S., 1 T.
The result is a petal tapering towards the bottom. We do not immediately twist the ends of the wire. You need to make 2 side petals according to the following scheme.
String 10 beads onto a wire, bend it and string another 10 beads, pull the end of the wire through them, you get 2 rows at once. Then it goes like this:
- 8 rub. – 1 T., 3 S., 1 T.
- 6 rub. – 2 T., 5 S., 2 T.
- 4 rub. – 3 T., 6 S., 3 T.
- 3rd row – 4 T., 4 S., 4 T.
- Row 5 – 2 T., 7 S., 2 T.
- Row 7 – 1 T., 5 S., 1 T.
- Row 9 – 1T., 1 S., 1 T. Fasten the wire.
The two upper leaves are made of beads of the same color.
- 8 row – 5
- 6 row – 9
- 3, 4 row – 12
- 1 row – 8 beads
- 2 r. - 10
- 5 rub. - eleven
- 7 rub. – 7
- 9 rub. – 3. The petals for the flower are ready.
Now we will make leaves from green beads.
- 11 row – 3
- 9 row – 5
- 7 row – 3
- 5 row – 5
- 3rd row – 3
- 1 row – 1 bead
- 2 r. – 2
- 4 rub. – 6
- 6 rub. - 4
- 8 rubles – 6
- 10 rubles – 4
- 12 rubles – 2.
Using this weaving pattern we will get a jagged leaf. You need to make 2 of these leaves per flower.
You can make stamens by stringing small yellow beads onto a wire and securing them. After everything is woven, we begin assembling the product.
- Twist two single-color petals and attach the stamens to them.
- We twist the two side petals and attach them to the plain ones.
- Screw the largest bottom sheet so that the wire from it can be hidden between the top and side sheets.
- Attach 2 leaves to each stem.
- Wrap the stem with floral tape or thread. You can make a lot of multi-colored violets and collect a bouquet.
PANSIES FROM CUTTING
We offer you another weaving option called French.
Do not cut the wire from the spool, roll it up and make a loop. String 3 pieces of cutting on it.
Then we wrap them four times with chopping wire and secure them as in the photo. There are 2 such petals for one flower.
To weave petals from 2 flowers, cut 30 cm of wire and twist a loop on it. Then work in accordance with the photo diagram. The leaf is woven according to the same pattern, only instead of 3 pieces of cutting, 7 are taken in the middle. For one flower you need to weave 3 leaves.
The center for the flower is made like this: string 12 pieces onto a wire. cutting and make 3 loops of 4 pieces, connect them as in the photo.
We collect the flower in this sequence. First, we wrap the petals around the core, which are woven from two colors, then plain ones, and lastly the leaves. Wrap the stem with thread or floral tape.
VIDEO LESSONS
Here you can watch video tutorials on weaving flowers from beads.
To make pansies from beads we will need:
- beads No. 10: yellow, brown and green. Since in nature pansies have a wide variety of colors, instead of the indicated colors of beads or in addition to them, you can take other colors. I took orange and blue as additional bead colors;
- wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm;
- green threads for winding the stem.
I was inspired to make beaded pansies by these flowers growing near my house. Of course, it is impossible to perfectly copy such beauty, especially considering that in my work I used the most simple technique beading - parallel weaving; but even using such a simple technique, these flowers turn out very beautiful.
Each flower consists of five petals: two upper, two lateral and one lower (or central).
We'll start with the central petal. For it, we take a wire 70 cm long. You can also take a shorter wire, but since the flower stem will be formed from the free ends of the wire, the longer the wire, the longer the stem will be.
We make the first two rows of the central petal as follows. We collect 11 yellow beads onto the wire and place them approximately in the middle of the wire.
We pass one end of the wire through the first 6 beads from the other end of the wire.
We tighten the wire.
Next, choose the longer one from the two ends of the wire and put 12 more yellow beads on it,
after which we pass the same end of the wire through the beads from the second to the seventh of the beads we just collected.
We tighten the wire, while moving all the beads close to each other. We have the first two rows of the petal, and in the middle of the first row there is a gap between the beads.
Next we will use the usual parallel weaving technique.
For the third row, we collect 4 yellow beads on one end of the wire, then 3 brown, 1 more yellow, 3 brown and 4 more yellow.
We pass the other end of the wire through all these beads.
We tighten the wire, placing the resulting row of beads above the previous row.
We weave the remaining rows of this petal according to the following pattern:
4th row: 4 yellow beads, 9 brown, 4 yellow;
5th row: 3 yellow beads, 12 brown, 3 yellow;
6th row: 1 yellow bead, 14 brown, 1 yellow;
7th row: 1 yellow bead, 11 brown, 1 yellow;
8 row: 1 yellow bead, 8 brown, 1 yellow;
9th row: 7 brown beads;
Row 10: 1 brown bead, 2 yellow, 1 brown.
After weaving is completed, leave the ends of the wire free for now and do not twist.
Next we make the side petals. For each such petal we take a wire 55 cm long.
We again use the parallel weaving technique and adhere to the following pattern:
1st row: 8 yellow beads;
2nd row: 10 yellow beads;
3rd row: 4 yellow beads, 4 brown, 4 yellow;
4th row: 3 yellow beads, 6 brown, 3 yellow;
5th row: 2 yellow beads, 7 brown, 2 yellow;
6th row: 1 yellow bead, 7 brown, 1 yellow;
7th row: 1 yellow bead, 5 brown, 1 yellow;
8 row: 1 yellow bead, 3 brown, 1 yellow;
Row 9: 3 yellow beads.
You need to make 2 of these side petals.
Actually for the flower we just have to make the upper petals. I made them mainly from orange beads. We take a wire 55 cm long and use the same pattern as for the side petals:
1st row: 8 orange beads;
2nd row: 10 orange beads;
3rd row: 12 orange beads;
4th row: 12 orange beads;
5th row: 11 orange beads;
6th row: 9 orange beads;
7th row: 7 orange beads;
8 row: 5 orange beads;
Row 9: 3 yellow beads.
The remaining ends of the wire can not be twisted for now.
You also need to make 2 of these upper petals.
After weaving the flower petals is completed, we move on to making the leaves. For each leaf we take a wire 50 cm long and green beads.
We weave the first 6 rows using the parallel weaving technique:
1st row: 2 beads;
2nd row: 3 beads;
3rd row: 4 beads;
4th row: 6 beads;
5th row: 5 beads;
6th row: 4 beads.
We first make the 7th row from 4 beads.
We pass the end of the wire on which only one bead is collected through the first 6 beads located at the other end of the wire (that is, we do not touch the bead closest to the leaf).
We tighten the wire. We got the 8th row, consisting of 6 beads, and one more bead was added to the 7th row on each side.
We continue weaving using the parallel weaving technique:
9 row: 5 beads;
10 row: 5 beads;
11th row: 4 beads.
We do the 12th and 13th rows in the same way as we did the 7th and 8th: first we make the 12th row of 4 beads.
Then we collect 7 beads on one end of the wire, and 1 bead on the other end of the wire.
We pass the end of the wire on which one bead is collected through the first 6 beads located at the other end of the wire (we do not touch only the bead closest to the leaf).
We tighten the wire. We got the 13th row, consisting of 6 beads, and added one bead to the 12th row on each side.
We finish weaving the leaf:
14 row: 5 beads;
15 row: 4 beads;
16th row: 3 beads;
Row 17: 2 beads.
You need to make several of these leaves, according to your wishes. I made 2 leaves for each flower.
Let's start assembling the flower. First, take the two top petals and place them on top of each other
and twist the ends of the wire coming from the petals.
Then we take the side petals, put them on top of each other again,
twist the ends of the wire coming from the petals
and straighten these petals in opposite directions from each other, perpendicular to the twisted ends of the wire. In this case, it is necessary that the petals continue to lie on the same plane with the wire. These petals became like a butterfly.
Beading is a unique skill of creating stunning compositions from tiny beads - beads. The most popular and simplest designs are floral motifs, for example, beaded pansies. You can weave individual flowers, collect them into miniature bouquets, make brooches, hairpins or topiary - and all this will be equally beautiful and elegant!
Advantages of bead weaving
At all times of the existence of this type of needlework, products made from beads were considered noble and worthy of admiration, and embroidery and flower weaving - elegant decoration for fashionistas. This activity also brings another kind of benefit: the positive effect of beadwork on the health of the needlewoman has long been known. Several hours devoted to creating knots and loops with beads strung on them help not only to end up with a cute little thing, but also:
- cope with insomnia;
- train attention;
- get rid of headaches and even toothaches;
- improve your emotional state.
What a reason to go to the store for beading supplies!
Weaving pansies from beads
Even under the Tsar, bead weaving was considered a fine art, a symbol of luxury and wealth. Embroidered or beaded items were always in prominent places in the homes of aristocrats. Flowers made of beads, the weaving patterns of which were passed down from generation to generation, served as decoration for outfits or decorative items. One of the most popular floral motifs Since then, cute little flowers have appeared - pansies. The technique of weaving them is not too complicated; even a beginner can cope with “growing” small flowers. It only takes perseverance and time to weave pansies from beads. Master class with step by step photos will help you understand the technology.
First you need to prepare everything you need for weaving:
- multi-colored beads (a couple of shades of green, brown, yellow, red, lilac, blue, indigo);
- large beads yellow tint for stamens;
- wire (medium thickness for stamens, thin for stems);
- floss threads (dark green);
- glue "Moment".
Wide petal weaving technology
It is better to start implementing the beaded pansy pattern from the widest petal - the bottom one. You will need two of them per flower.
- 2nd row - 4/3/4 (choose the shade ratio to your taste);
- 3rd row - 4/9/4
- 4th row - 3/12/3
- 5th row - 2/10/2
- 7th row - 2/7/2
- 8th row - 2/4/2
- 9th row - 1/3/1
- We get a petal that tapers towards the bottom. We do not twist the ends of the wire at this stage.
Technology for making the upper petal of pansies
To make plain upper petals, take bright beads (for example, blue) and, crossing thin wire in rows of beads, follow the pattern:
- 1st row - 8 beads;
- 2nd row - 10;
- 3rd, 4th rows - 12;
- 5th row - 11;
- 6th row - 9;
- 7th row - 7;
- 8th row - 5;
- 9th row - 3.
The bright top petal is ready. For one flower you also need two of them. It is better to take more dark shade beads to create contrast with the ones below. These flowers will be bright on their own, and you can use them separately. For a bouquet, it’s better not to get carried away too much contrasting combinations, otherwise the composition will be too bright.
Leaf weaving pattern
For the leaves we take green beads of a dark shade, you can make inclusions of light ones - this way the flower will look more natural. We carry out the following instructions by alternating beads:
- 1st row -1;
- 2nd row - 2;
- 3rd row - 3;
- 4-row - 6;
- 5-1 row -5;
- 6th row - 4;
- 7th row - 3;
- 8th row - 6;
- 9th row - 5;
- 10th row - 4;
- 11th row - 3;
- 12th row - 2.
Technology of stamens and flower assembly
The final stage of weaving pansies from beads is the creation of stamens.
- We put it on a wire of medium thickness large bead yellow, twist the wire.
- Take another bead, thread a wire through it, and twist it. One stamen is ready.
- Let's start assembling the flower. We twist the 2 upper wide petals.
- We screw the stamen to two wide petals.
- Twist with the top two.
- Now we move the wide petals apart at an angle of 90 degrees, and place the wire between the upper petals, hiding its ends behind the wide ones.
- Using floss threads, we make a stem by twisting 3-4 threads. First you need to coat the threads with glue.
- We attach the leaves to the stem with the remaining ends of the wire.

Beaded pansies are a great start for those who are just starting to master beadwork. And for more experienced needlewomen small flowers are a wonderful springboard for mastering new bead combinations different sizes, as well as creating complex topiary and bouquets. Such miniature works can become an original gift or decoration in the house.
