• Thin wire for weaving 0.2 mm in diameter;
• Wire thicker for the stem (it should be 2 times thicker);

• Pliers and special organizer for beads (this will simplify the work).

And, of course, there is a supply of time, patience and a good mood, so that the lilies of the valley are as beautiful as the real flowers.

Technique for performing flowers

The scheme of weaving a lily of the valley from beads begins with the execution of flowers. There are many options for how this can be done. But they are most beautiful when using the technique of volumetric parallel weaving. This is what she is invited to use.

1. Prepare for each flower for 6 pieces of thin wire, each length of at least 30 cm in total, it is planned to make 7 pieces.
2. Take one piece and type 13 white beads on it, placing them closer to the center. Then twist them into a loop so that the ends of the wire are from the bottom.
3. The next segment to pass through 5 extreme beads, and then at the other end to put on 8 more pieces. Again twist the noose. And so all the actions are repeated until there is 1 piece of wire left.
4. Also pass it through 5 extreme beads, but it already has 3 beads. And then pass the remaining end through 5 beads on the other side. Connect all together so that the corolla is out.
5. To make a lily of the valley bead, like real, you still need to weave the middle. On a wire in length of 20 sm to type 2 yellow бисерины. Then pass the wire in the opposite direction through one of them. Get 1 needle.
6. In the same way, make 2 more needles. Twist all the ends together. Stamens for the flower are ready. They need also at least 7 pieces. Now you just need to pass every middle into the flower of the lily of the valley.

Executing leaves

Of course, no lily of the valley can do without its luxurious large leaves. There are many techniques for their implementation. The most commonly used parallel weave or French (arcs). What kind of technique to choose depends on the capabilities and experience of the needlewoman. The technique of parallel weaving is considered to be simpler, and therefore the scheme of weaving a lily of the valley from beads more often assumes that the leaves will be made just like that.

1. For each sheet you need 2 meters of wire. To such quantity of buds it is necessary no more than two leaves, and even at all one. Dial one bead and place it in the middle.
2. Further, up to the 21st row, add in each row one bead and weave a sheet in the same way - in the technique of parallel weaving.
3. In the 21st, 22nd and 23rd rows will be the same as in the 20th, - 20 pieces of beads. From the 24th to the 27th row there will be 19 beads, and from 28th to 30th - 18 beads.
4. From the 31st to the 46th row in each, the number of beads is reduced by 1 piece until there are only 2 beads left. In the 47th row, you also need to dial 2 beads. Secure the wire.
5. The sheet is very large and flexible. To fix it, you need to flash it with a wire. To do this, another piece of wire should be passed through the middle of the sheet, wrapping around each row.

Assemblage of details

Now that all the parts of the flower are ready, you can assemble the lily of the valley from the beads. Only you still need to prepare a thread or a floral tape. The main thing is that they match the color of the leaves.

1. Each flower is wrapped with threads for a length of about 3 cm. Then, where the winding ends, attach another flower. Both must look in one direction.
2. To strengthen the stalk to even more thick wire. So it is necessary to do with all 7 flowers. Use a thread to disguise the entire wire well.
3. After all the flowers are collected, to the very bottom of the stem you need to fasten 1 or 2 sheets, and at the very top with the help of a thread to fix the flowers. This is necessary in order to keep the whole structure in shape.

Support for flowers

After you make a lily of the bead, you need to place it somewhere. Usually such a flower is put in a small vase. But you can make a stand for flowers and yourself. For it you will need in equal parts glue PVA, alabaster and water, as well as paints, clear lacquer and any plastic form.

Mix glue and alabaster, dilute with water until soft. Pour this mixture into a prepared plastic mold, place the lily of the valley and leave until completely dry. Now paint a thawed patch or a green glade, top with a varnish for fastening. Allow to dry well. Carefully loosen from the plastic mold.

And the last thing that remains is to find a place where to put flowers from beads. Lilies of the valley can decorate not only an apartment, but a table at work. Yes, and such a gift, made by own hands, always looks original.
