Cyclamen from beads. Step-by-step master class

Cyclamen is a very touching and delicate flower. Mountain violet, as it is also called, is thought to be nature itself for weaving with beads. The needlewomen around the world create these flowers from beads. Cyclamen is usually taken in two popular techniques: French and parallel weaving. Which one to choose depends on the skill and skill of the needlewoman. This master class proposes to make it in the technique of parallel weaving.

Required inventory

In order to make a cyclamen from beads, you will need:

• Beads of different colors;
• Wire thickness 0.3 mm;
• Thread of brown and green colors;
• Nippers;
• gypsum;
• Acrylic paint;
• flower pot.

When choosing beads for work, it is better to give preference to Czech or domestic. It is more even in size and color. For the flower will need beads of pink, silver and white flowers. For leaves - green and dark green. At selection it is possible to be guided still by the taste. Of course, small deviations are permitted. In this master class, colors are called for convenience.

Flowers from beads

We must start the work with weaving flowers, as this is the most long and laborious stage. For a full bouquet it will take 6 blooming cyclamens and 5 buds. Each large flower still consists of 5 petals. True, having carried out this part, it will already be possible to firmly say that more than half have been made.

For one petal cut off the wire length of 50 cm. Note the middle with a single pink bead. To do this, thread it and pass one end of the wire in the opposite direction. Further cyclamen from beads weave according to the scheme in the technique of parallel weaving. For convenience and that everything was clear even to the novice, the description is given below on the items, the number of which corresponds to the series.

1. 3 pink beads are threaded onto the wire.
2. Exactly the same as the first.
3. One more pink bead is added, and there are 4 of them.
4. Here you need to type 1 white, 3 pink and again 1 white bead.
5. It is typed 2 white, 2 pink and 2 more white beads, that is all of them it turns out 6.
6. Consists of 7 white beads.
7. It is necessary to increase the quantity by 1 bead, in the end they will be 8.
8. Dial 9 white beads.
9. Another one more, that is 10 pieces.
10. Same as the 9th row.
11. Once again, you need to repeat the 9th row.
12. Reduce the amount by 1 piece, so that there are 9 beads in the row.
13. Another one less, and in the end there are 8 of them.
14. In this series, collect only 6 pieces.
15. Reduce the number by 2 beads to become 4.
16. In the last row, leave only 2 pieces.

At the end, fix the wire and hide the ends well. It is very important that all the rows are strictly parallel to each other, and the beads lay exactly one to one. Without this it will be difficult to continue beading. Cyclamen can simply turn out unsightly.

So you need to make 5 petals for each flower. It turns out that all of them will need 30 pieces. Then you need to connect them to each other with the help of a wire. To complete the work with the flower, you need to let the edge of an openwork thread, consisting of white and silver beads. For her, take a separate wire and pass it at the base of the cyclamen. Then dial one white, three silver and one more white. Pass the end to the next bead and repeat the set again. Do all this until you get an openwork frill around the entire flower.

Beautiful buds

To cyclamen from beads turned out to be voluminous and interesting, you can additionally make small buds. Weave them much easier than flowers. Therefore, their manufacture can be considered a small rest before the next big stage - the weaving of leaves.

For a wire 30 cm long, dial 30 beads of white color. Then, in the opposite direction, thread its end through the last 15 beads. Then you need to dial 10 more beads and pass the end of the wire through the previously created ring. Thus, one of the three bud petals was obtained. After they are all ready, collect them together. All the remaining ends of the wires together twist and zadekorirovat brown thread.

Leaves for cyclamen

And of course, it is impossible to imagine any plant without leaves. Cyclamen made of beads is no exception. Only 2 colors are used for their weaving: green and dark green. As in the case of a flower, the work is done according to the scheme in the technique of parallel weaving. Below, a detailed description will be given where the ordinal number corresponds to the number of the series.

1. Dial 2 dark green beads.
2. The series consists of 2 green and 2 dark green beads.
3. 1 dark green, 2 green and 2 other dark green.
4. Alternate 2 dark green and 2 green, there will be 6 beads.
5. In this row - 3 dark green, 2 green and dark green, only 7 pieces.
6. One increases the amount of dark green, then the series repeats the previous one.
7. Just like in the previous series, the amount of dark beads increases. In total there will be 9 beads.
8. In this row there are only 10 beads: 6 dark, 2 light and 2 dark.
9. Another one more dark green beads, and of course, one more in a row.
10. Proportional increase in dark beads in the series. There are already 12 of them.
11. Also you need to add at the very beginning one dark bead.
12. This series consists of 10 dark, 2 green and 2 dark.
13. In total there are 15 beads in this row, namely 11 dark green, 2 green and 2 dark green.
14. This series starts with 2 light, then you need to dial 10 dark green, 2 green and 2 more dark green.
15. In this row - 3 green, ten dark green, 2 green and 2 dark green.
16. The series consists of 2 dark, 2 light, 9 dark, 2 light and 2 dark.
17. From this number the number of beads decreases. It will already consist of 2 dark green, 2 green, 8 dark green, 2 green and 2 dark green.
18. It is already 2 beads less, namely 2 dark, 2 light, 6 dark, 2 light and 2 dark.
19. You need to dial 2 dark green, 2 green, 4 dark green, 2 green and 2 dark green. Bead in the row was another 2 less.
20. It consists of only 10 beads: 2 dark, 6 light and 2 dark.
21. Dial 2 dark green beads, then 4 green and again 2 dark green.
22. In the last row are 6 dark beads.

True, this is only half a sheet. Now, to make the second part, you need to take another piece of wire and repeat all the actions from 1 to 22 row, only in the mirror image. In this case it is necessary in each row to weave new dialed beads to the first half of the sheet. Total 8 leaves are needed. Loose the remainder of the wire twisted together and wrap it in a green thread.

Assembly

Now it only remains to collect all the elements together to make a cyclamen from beads. The photo of the finished flower, placed below, clearly demonstrates how the finished work looks.

It is necessary to dilute the plaster in a small cup so that it becomes mushy. Pour it into the pot. Set the collected bouquet and fix it until it is completely solidified. After that, paint the gypsum with brown acrylic paint and, if desired, decorate the pot.
