Step-by-step instruction
Weaving accessories and flowers from beads is always a fun and exciting process. The result is such beauty. So, let's start creating beauty!
Step 1: make the first tier of petals
Each flower petal consists of 12 beads. We string them onto a small piece of wire, and twist the wire at the base so as to secure the beads. We do the same for the second petal. In total, there should be at least 5 petals for the first tier.
Step 2: weave the second tier of petals
The next tier of petals should be slightly larger than the previous one. Otherwise, it will simply get lost and will not be clearly visible in the product.
Therefore, for each petal we already string 20 beads, and fasten them in exactly the same way as the previous ones.
Once the petals are finished, you can give them a pointed shape. Since we use wire in our work, it is very easy to give it the shape we need and get the flower that we want to see.
Step 3: making the middle
We place a large pearl bead in the center of the flower, having previously strung it on a piece of wire. Using the free ends of this wire, we attach the flower to the selected hairpin.
If you are not using this type of hairpin, but a wider clip, you can attach the flower to it using glue. For such cases, it is better to use hot glue and a glue gun.
After hardening, it is not at all noticeable in the product, so it is often used to make jewelry.
So, the hairpin with beaded flowers is ready. Such a simple and bright flower can be used not only to decorate hairpins. You can also glue it to the headband and make your shoes and accessories more original. And the best part is that the whole process of making such a flower does not take much time, and you can make several of these decorations literally in one evening.
In this master class I will tell you, how to make a beaded hairpin and complete with simple dangle earrings. It will take 3 days to create the hairpin. You need knowledge of the technique of oblique mosaic weaving, Ndebele weaving and the “coral” technique. Since the diagrams are given, you can figure it out this way, based on step-by-step photographs.

Beaded hairpin master class.
Let's start with weaving a flower. A beaded flower consists of two halves, upper and lower. We weave with fishing line (on the thread the flower turns out loose and does not hold its shape). Let's start with the top element according to Scheme 1 (black line).
Select 6 beads, 7 small beads, 1 bead.
We make a loop (upper turn), entering the penultimate wheelhouse.
We collect the bead, enter the bead of the bead of the previous row, missing one.
Let's weave another section.
We make a bottom turn: we pick up one golden No. 10, one wheelhouse, and enter the protruding wheelhouse of the previous row.
We reach the top, exit the last cutting (on a loop), collect two cuttings, 7 small golden ones, one cutting.
We make a loop (second upper turn), entering the penultimate wheelhouse, go down, make a lower turn.
We weave half a petal, consisting of four lower and 4 upper turns. The fifth is the top of the petal.
We weave the other half for the descent. From the penultimate protruding cutting we collect 7 small golden beads, one cutting.
For the bottom turn, we select two cuttings, one golden No. 10, one cutting.
We enter the penultimate cabin and weave upward.
After the last upper turn we will braid the second petal. We collect the fifth lower turn: two cabins, one golden No. 10, one cabin, we enter the penultimate, recruited cabin.
We weave one cutting and separate the second petal from the first, collecting 4 cuttings, 7 golden small ones, one cutting.
We weave 8 petals, the last one without adding one more cut.
We connect the last and first petals: we enter the last protruding section of the first petal, return to the last protruding section of the eighth petal (it should fit like a puzzle). In the next part of the master class we will continue making beaded hair clips.
The bride at the wedding should look irresistible, like a princess. Accessories that crown the bride play an important role and must match the wedding dress. Guests are especially impressed by their homemade decorations – they are so unique and soulful.
Such beauty doesn't even need a crown.
In the old days, the bride's head was decorated with. Modern brides can do without it, choosing all sorts of other accessories. A wedding wreath gives tenderness and is a symbol of love and fidelity.
The headband adds femininity and elegance. It will look original on both long and short hair.
If the wedding is in the summer, then it is better to decorate your hair with butterflies, flowers and dragonflies made of beads. The choice depends on the style and hairstyle of the bride. This is an original and spectacular decoration.
So how to make your own wedding hair decorations?
Bead options
The most popular wedding hairstyles are. They are different: a spikelet, a braid with a bun, a side braid, a crown braid.
For such hairstyles, you can also use short hair, increasing it with artificial strands. This can be decorated with a tiara, a wreath of beads, various hairpins and much more.
To make a wreath of beads you will need: satin ribbon, beads, thick and thin wire, scissors. We thread a bead onto a thin wire to the middle. Fold the wire in half and cut it so that the ends of the wire are 10 cm.
Thus we make several preparations. Next, we make a ring from thick wire with a diameter around the head and weave beads on the wire like a wreath around the resulting ring. To cover parts of the wire, we wrap everything in between with satin ribbon. You will get an original wreath with your own hands, which will be an original decoration.

Lily flower
To weave a lily flower from beads you will need: white beads, golden beads, 3mm thick wire.
The flower consists of 6 petals and a stamen. We put 20 beads on a 40 cm long wire and make 4 full arcs around it, i.e. first 15 beads, twist the wire, adding beads each time.
You should get a beautiful petal. Thus we make 6 pieces.
For the center, cut a wire 30 cm long. For the center, we need to make 5 stamens, at the top of each we attach a golden bead.
We thread a large bead onto the wire, fold it in half and put beads on the two wires (a different color is possible). The number of beads should not exceed 18 pcs.
Then we take the rod, screw three petals onto it and secure the stamens, then add the petals again. Our lily is ready. You can add leaves to it, made in the same way as petals, only we reduce the amount of beads.
Hairpin for short curls
The most popular DIY wedding hair accessories are flower clips. We will need: beads of two colors (depending on the color of the dress) and fishing line.
We cut off and thread 26 beads onto it, closing the ring of the fishing line. We make 4 such blanks. Make the fifth petal a little larger.
We make the next row in the petal a mosaic. We thread two beads onto the fishing line, then thread them through one into the petal and tighten. So you need to weave 11 pieces.
We should have a petal with one color on the inside and another color on the outside. Thus, we make 5 petals.
The next step is to connect the petals to each other using fishing line. All 5 parts must be collected into a single flower. The center of the middle can be decorated as desired. The finished flower can be attached either to a hairpin or to a bobby pin with glue.
Interesting video: making an accessory yourself
You will need: a metal base for the headband, scissors, satin ribbon, 4mm thick gamma wire, 12, 8 and 6mm beads, drop-shaped beads of two sizes and small transparent beads at your discretion. Cut 20 cm from a coil of wire, fold it in half and thread the first transparent bead. We pushed it to the middle of the wire and twisted it a little to secure it.
Next, we pass a drop-shaped bead to the transparent bead, immediately through two pieces of wire. Next we thread the bead at 12mm, 8mm and 6mm. The result was the first blank. In exactly the same way we make 6 more blanks. But in each subsequent workpiece, we reduce by one bead
in the set. At the very end you should get one bead. We will fix the resulting pattern in the center of the rim.
Interesting! If you like beaded accessories, go ahead and check out our other jewelry options.
We take our first piece, separate the edges of the wire and place it in the middle of the rim. We stretch it so that the beads do not dangle and wrap the rim with the remaining wire, pressing it tightly against each other. Next, take the next piece, step back a little and wind it in the same way. The outermost one comes with one bead. To prevent the wire from sliding along the rim, you can fix it with glue.
We decorate the traces of assembly of the tiara with a satin ribbon. Apply glue to the edge of the tape from the wrong side, secure it at the very beginning of the rim and begin winding. In this way we tightly wrap our entire base. All traces of the wire should be hidden under the ribbon. Wrap it to the end and secure the edge of the tape with glue. The tiara is ready.
Different variants
If the bride has a high hairstyle, then a tiara is best. Tiara - an original decoration suitable for any girl, of any age. How to make a wedding hair decoration in the form of a tiara?
Wire comb with beautiful pearls for a bun
To make it you will need: 7mm diameter, 4mm glass beads of different shades, some beads, rhinestones, 4mm diameter wire, pliers, wire cutters.
Cut a 100cm piece of wire and fold it in half. We string a pearl on it and twist it 1.5 - 2 cm. Then we string the second one and also twist it. Closer to the middle, you can add bugles, rhinestones or beads of a different color. In the middle you can make several flowers in the same way. It all depends on your mood and imagination. We attach the finished decoration to the comb using wire, pressing tightly, and can be fixed with glue.
You can decorate the headband in the same way, adding leaves, flowers or satin ribbons according to your imagination.
Dragonfly on stiletto heels
You will need: 1mm thick wire, beads, nail polish, scissors. Cut the wire 30 cm long and twist the dragonfly. We put beads on the ends of the wire and twist the antennae. Using nail polish, we make the body of the dragonfly, stretching the polish with a thin film between the wire. Let it dry.
According to your taste, you can decorate with small beads, gluing them with glue along the rim of the wire. The finished product can be secured to a bobby pin or pin.
Daisies
Wedding hair decorations for the bride can be in the form of beaded daisies. You will need 65 cm long wire and a knitting needle. We wind the wire around the knitting needle, leaving the ends 3 cm long. You should have 55 spirals. Remove from the knitting needle and stretch to 15 cm. We roll the workpiece in the form of a chamomile petal, and twist the ends together. This way we make 8 petals.
Then we take white threads and make a turn from the middle down, then wrap it from the bottom up. Having reached the end, we draw the thread down along the surface and wrap it around the ends of the wire. Thus, we make all the petals.
You can also make a few green leaves. For the middle, we make an 8 cm spiral and wrap it with yellow thread, starting from the middle. Next is a cross.
We collect the finished petals and the center, tightly wrapping them together with threads. We fix the ends of the threads with glue.
Advice! You can attach the finished flower to any hairpin or bobby pin. You can make several of these flowers with different sizes.
Beautiful twig
Wedding hair decorations made of wire are very popular. To create an original decoration you will need: a sheet of paper, a pencil, 5mm thick wire, 5 multi-colored beads. 8mm thick and 28 pcs. pearls from 8 to 12 mm, pliers, wire cutters, round nose pliers. How to make wedding hair decorations - photos and instructions below.
First, we draw a branch of your choice, 26 cm long. To make it beautiful, you need to constantly check the sketch.
We do not cut the wire so that our branch does not fall apart. We take the wire in the spool and begin to string a bead onto it. When they are all put on, we move them 50 cm, this will be our center of the branch. Take the first bead and twist it at a distance of 2 cm until the bead is tightly attracted. At a distance of 1.5 cm, twist the second bead until they come together. We do these movements with all the beads.
At the end of the finished branch, we cut off the rest of the wire and tuck them in with round nose pliers so as not to get scratched.
The finished twig can be attached to a comb, to a bobby pin, or worn as a tiara. In all cases, you will look original. You can show your imagination and use beads in the form of leaves and flowers.
Summary
There is a huge variety of jewelry for the bride in stores, but the most memorable, original and attractive will be the one you created with your own hands. This way you will make an unforgettable impression on others.
Thanks to the art of beading, you can create many different things - from jewelry and accessories to incredible installations and sculptures. And, of course, beads are inextricably intertwined with fashion. Stylish dresses, earrings, elegant necklaces - all this can be done using beading. After studying the step-by-step master class with detailed descriptions and diagrams, you can easily create a flower hair clip. In addition, you will learn a popular weaving technique - brick stitch. Separate beaded petals, sewn together and complemented by a central component - a bead, will turn into a real bouquet. Such decoration will certainly make you the center of attention - be it in the office or at a party.
For work we need:
1. Cut the monofilament “GAMMA”, art.: MF-04, 1 meter long, thread it into the needle “GAMMA”, art.: HN-30 and collect three beads “TOHO” 11/0 golden color.
2. Move the beads to the end, leaving 10-12 centimeters of thread. We will weave a chain-ladder, passing the beads in the opposite direction, starting from the second (diagram No. 1).
3. The result is the first row of the petal.
4. Weave the second and subsequent rows using the brick stitch technique. On the thread that comes out from the top of the beads of the first row, we will collect two beads. Let's pick up the loop between the beads of the first row.
5. Then we will pass the thread through the next bead. After this, we will add one bead at a time (diagram No. 2, No. 3).
Scheme No. 2
Scheme No. 3
6. The petal will expand, each next row increasing by one bead.
7. Let's continue weaving in accordance with the diagram, not forgetting to monitor the color of the beads.
8. When weaving the petal of a small flower, we will start narrowing from the tenth row (diagram No. 4). For a large flower, we will start narrowing from the 14th row.
9. The final, top row will consist of golden-colored beads.
10. We will not weave the entire row - we will skip two beads in the center of the row.
11. When finished, secure the thread with a knot.
12. It is necessary to weave five such large petals for one central flower of the composition and ten small ones for two smaller flowers.
13. Let's start assembling. Sew the petals together along the outer beads.
14. Let's take the thread out of the bead of the first row and pass it through the first and immediately the second bead of the adjacent petal, then again through one bead of the first petal.
15. Connect the edges.
16. Sew the next petal in the same way.
