Do orchids from beads in a pot
White beads should be Matte, and pink and yellow can pour. Take a wire approximately one meter long. Leave the edge about thirty centimeters and bend it. One end of the wire will be longer, and the other, respectively, shorter. From the bend point, start twisting the wire to the middle. At the short end you need to string 15 beads of white, and on the long - 16 beads of white and pink flowers. In this case there will be five pink ones, and they need to be alternated with white ones. Twist the two ends of the wire. At the long end, again string 16 beads of white and pink and braid around the base. Repeat the same to the fifth row, each time increasing the number of beads by three. So one big petal of orchid from beads will be ready. These petals need to make fifteen pieces: five for each flower. When the big petals are ready, you can start making small ones. For this we need only pink beads. Screw in the same way as the big petals, only initially the beads need to take five units less - 10 for the short and 11 for the long end of the wire. It takes five rows. With each row, as well as in the previous petal, increase the number of beads by three pieces. Make small petals you need nine pieces. Now you need to make a middle for an orchid of beads. Take the yellow beads, start weaving in the same way as the small petals, just make two rows. In the second row, string on two beads more than in the previous one. The middle should be slightly rounded. Use a pencil or a pen for this.
When all the petals are ready, you can begin to collect them. In each flower there will be five large petals, three small ones and one middle. Do not forget to fasten big beads to the flowers. From a thick wire, make a stem, and then connect all orchids to each other. So you can create bouquets with orchids. In the pot, dilute the gypsum, place the stem there, allow the gypsum to freeze. Then it should be painted with brown acrylic paint, and on top put decorative stones.
