Golden spikelets made of beads step by step. Lesson on weaving sun spikelets from beads Weaving wheat spikelets with beads

Beading various crafts can become not only your main hobby, but also a way to earn money. After all, only recently have people begun to appear who appreciate handmade products, that is, in the “handmade” style. Therefore, any of your creations can become someone’s original decoration. For example, this article will describe the process of weaving spikelets with beads, since not only flowers can complement the interior of an apartment or house, but even such field ears will look great against any background.

Before starting this simple master class, you need to prepare all the components necessary for the work:

golden and beige beads;
the wire is thinner and thicker;
floral tape;
yellow and beige threads.

The ears together represent an entire field of wheat. Especially in the summer, when they ripen, you can observe indescribable natural beauty. Such magnificence can be created with your own hands from beads. And a small training master class will help you with this. Before you start beading, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the photo and video material that can be found freely available on the Internet or on our website. You must have a complete initial understanding of what you will weave with your own hands. A single spikelet contains approximately twenty grains. Start by placing about seventeen beads on the wire and twisting the buttonhole. Repeat similar steps with the second loop. Then twist another one.

After all 3 loops are made, twist the fittings under them several times clockwise. Remove the excess beads and cut the tip with scissors, leaving only twelve centimeters. Now you see that you have made the first grain of three loops. Thus, weave nineteen more pieces.

The master class continues and its next stage is to create antennae. Cut a 13 cm long wire and fold it in two. The middle of the cut should be placed between 3 loops that were made in advance. Screw the tip a little lower. Try to do things so that the fittings are higher than the grain itself, at least three centimeters.

You will need to weave more than 20 similar blanks that will imitate grains of ears. You can make approximately 27 antennae. Now you need to prepare a wire of greater thickness, as well as yellow threads. We begin assembling the product by screwing its top with threads. Take the prepared elements and screw them to a thick wire. After this, you should straighten and trim them with your own hands. Each time the workpieces need to be screwed lower and lower, gradually lowering down until you reach the end.

Even novice craftswomen will be able to see that this bead weaving technique is not at all complicated and will be understandable to everyone. When you form the craft in the form of a spikelet, try to keep the tendrils as close to the trunk as possible and vertical. Having completed all the manipulations, proceed to wrap the flor craft with yellow ribbon. Again give the spikelet a shape that is close to natural. When you have made at least a small bunch of ears of corn with your own hands, you can put them in a tall and narrow vase. They will perfectly complement any flower arrangement.

Materials for one spikelet:

Round beads No. 11 or triangular beads No. 9 in light topaz color (2 strands);
copper wire No. 28 golden color (4 m 55 cm).

Materials for one motif:

Round beads No. 11 (5 skeins) or triangular beads No. 9 color of light topaz (6 skeins);
copper wire No. 28 golden color (122 m).

Other materials:

Stem wire No. 16 (30 pieces, 15.2 cm long);
500-gram package of red rice or other grains for filling containers (3 pcs.);
straw colored floral ribbon;
glass (diameter - 5 cm, height - 5 cm), container for liquid (diameter - 10 cm, height - 9 cm);
candle in a candlestick” with a diameter of 3.8 cm and a height of 5 cm.

Note

This two-layer composition uses 30 short ears of wheat. There are many ways to use these products. They can be made on long stems and combined with flowers to create an autumn composition, or used on their own - make a bunch of ears and tie it with a ribbon. If you want to create other arrangements with wheat ears, calculate how much wire and beads you will need. Use the quantities of material given for making one spike.

Making grains

Quantity - 40. Three-row cross loop 2.5 cm long with a “tendril” 7.5 cm long

1. Make all the grains the same way: leave the end 5 cm long, then make a single loop from the bottom 2.5 cm long, squeeze it to make the loop narrow (photo 1).
2. Push enough beads up to make another row in the middle of the loop. Cut the wire from the spool, leaving a 7.5cm end (Photo 2).
3. Secure the row by crossing the wire between the two beads at the top of the loop. Pull the wire - you should hear a click when it falls between the beads. Straighten the resulting “antennae” (photo 3).
4. Collect the beans into 20 pairs by twisting their ends in pairs under the bead loops. Note: the grains will be arranged in a *V* shape, supported on one twisted “leg”. Each grain has a front and back side. The right side is the one where the 3rd row is laid in the middle of the single loop. Keep this in mind when forming pairs of grains, all grains should “look” with their front sides in one direction (photo 4).

Assembling the composition

1. To make ears, wrap ribbon around 6-inch stem wire. Press a couple of kernels together with their right sides facing out. Attach this pair to the top of the stem using floral tape cut in half lengthwise (Image 5).
2. Place the next 3 pairs of grains around the stem so that their tops are level with the middle of the top grains. Don't forget that these parts should be facing out (photo 6).
3. Place the next 4 pairs of grains around the stem so that their tops are level with the middle of the grains of the previous row (photo 7).
4. Continue adding grains - 4 pairs in each row. Grow the spikelet until all 20 pairs are on the stem. Wrap the entire stem with tape (Photo 8).
5. Make 30 of these ears.
6. Take a glass and place 16 spikelets in a circle, with the bottom grains lying on the edge of the glass (photo 9).
7. Carefully fill the glass with red rice or other grains to hide the spikelet stems. Pour the cereal to the top of the glass (photo 10).
8. Place 14 spikelets in a smaller container for liquid (photo 11).
9. Fill the vessel to the brim with cereal (photo 12).
10. Place a small candlestick or glass with a candle in the center of the vessel (photo 13).
11. Carefully place the smaller vessel in the center of the larger glass, being careful not to disturb the order of the ears (photo 14).

Using beadwork, you can make beautiful spikelets from beads with your own hands. They absolutely do not require any complex weaving pattern. Such products are simply ideal for beginning needlewomen mastering this technique. Beaded spikelets are very similar to their living prototypes.

To make such a plant, we will need golden-colored beads and wire, preferably also in the same shade, 0.3 mm thick. Yellow or golden threads for winding “seeds” to the stem, as well as iris threads for decoration. And pieces of thick wire, 30 cm long and 2 mm thick for the stems.

Making a spikelet

In order to make a spikelet grain, we need to cut 20 cm of golden wire. We string 17 beads and move them to the center of the segment. Hold it with your fingers and make the first loop, twisting the wire three turns. Thus, we got the first grain. Now we string 17 beads again, move them to the first loop and twist them again three turns. And you need to make a third grain. We create it similarly to the previous ones. After creating three grains, connect both edges of the wire and twist them together. Thirty such blanks must be made.

After you have completed all thirty grain blanks, we begin to create the awns. To do this, take golden-colored wire and cut two pieces of 5 cm each. Screw them at the base of the loops to the wire edges. And straighten it on both sides of the central loop. These will be the awns of our spikelet. It is necessary to do the same procedure with all the grains.

Collecting a spikelet

As soon as we have prepared all the blanks and attached two awns to each, we proceed to assembling the spikelet itself. We take a thick wire, apply one piece to its top and, holding it with our fingers, wind it with threads. We apply the second part nearby, but as if on the other side of the wire. We continue to wind all thirty blanks using threads. They need to be arranged in circles. Move each subsequent circle downwards relative to the previous one. So that your grains overlap each other. To make it easier to decorate our finished spikelet, you need to wrap the wire with the same thread until the very end. When the wire runs out, glue the thread with glue.

The spikelet may also have leaves. To make them, you need to take a piece of wire 30 cm long. Fold the wire in half, starting from the fold, twist it to a length of 2 cm. Now we put about fifty beads on each edge and twist the free wire ends together 3-4 turns. We wrap the “tails” on the wrong side and pinch off the excess using wire cutters. We get a long and narrow leaf for the ear. You will need several of these in total.

Spikelet design

We begin to design our spikelet. Let's take iris threads of a color that suits us. This could be, for example, beige threads. We simply begin to wind them onto the stem. At the same time, we try to wrap tightly, laying the threads one after another so that there are no gaps between them. Now we take one of the two leaves, apply it to the stem in the right place and wrap it with iris threads. We step back a little lower and apply the second sheet. Also, when winding, we try to lay the threads close to each other. We continue to wrap the second layer until the end of the stem. Not reaching the edge a couple of centimeters, coat the stem with glue and wind the thread. We do this so that the thread does not unravel. It is better to use transparent “Moment” glue in your work. That's it, our spikelet is ready. For greater clarity, to correctly make a spike of beads, use the master class with a photo.

Using beading, as well as patterns of other, more complex flowers, create a beautiful bouquet. Let it include, for example, beaded wheat, the master class of which is described above, as well as poppies and cornflowers. This combination looks the most advantageous. All you need is just to choose a master class in photo or video format for the rest of the colors that you can find on our website.

Spikelet of beads

You have probably paid attention more than once to figures woven from beads. These are amazing works of art: bright, fragile, very beautiful. Let's get acquainted with the beading technique too. Let's make, for example, a spikelet. It is woven very simply and goes well in a bouquet with scarlet poppies and blue cornflowers.

To make a spikelet we will need: golden-colored beads, golden wire 0.3 mm thick, yellow threads, beige “Iris” threads for decorating the stem, thick wire 30 cm long for the stem, wire cutters or scissors.

Let's get to work.

Step 1. To make spikelet grains, we need to cut 20 cm of golden wire. We string 17 beads on it. Move them to the center of the wire. Holding the beads with your fingers, make a loop three turns.

Step 2. We string another 17 beads onto one end of the wire, move them to the opposite edge, hold them and make a loop three turns. At the second end of the wire we make another grain: we string 17 beads, move them, holding them, make a loop three turns. We connect together the pieces of the remaining wire. The result was a twig with three grains.

Step 3. You will need 30 such branches for a spikelet.

Step 4. We screw the awns of the spikelet to each workpiece. The awns are thin processes near the grains. We will make them from golden wire. For each workpiece, cut two pieces of golden wire 5 cm each. Move the grains of the workpiece slightly towards each other. We take two pieces of wire and screw them to the workpiece at the base so that they are located slightly above the grains. We separate the wires and try to straighten them. We do this with all thirty blanks.

Step 5. Let's start assembling the spikelet. We take a piece of thick wire approximately 30 cm long and the first batch of grains. We attach the wire to the base of the workpiece. With one hand we hold the parts, in the other hand we take an ordinary yellow thread and use it to wind the grains to the stem several times.

Step 6. We turn the stem a little and wrap the second piece on the opposite side. Then we turn the stem a little again. We wrap the third piece a little lower and to the side. And we do this with all the preparations. As you work, it becomes clear at what distance to screw the grains. Using your hands, if necessary, give the grains the desired shape.

Step 7 When the spikelet is completely assembled, we wrap the thread around the wire of the stem until the end. This is necessary in order to facilitate further decoration of the stem. Apply a little glue to the lower end of the stem and wind the rest of the thread to secure it.

Step 8 Now we will make the leaves for the spikelet. We take a piece of golden wire 30 cm long. Fold it in half and connect it into one thread from the bend about 2-2.5 cm. Then we separate the free ends of the wire and string 50-55 beads on each. Then, holding the beads, we connect the remaining ends of the wire and twist them 2-3 turns. We bend the excess wire inside out the sheet and cut off the remainder. You need to make two such leaves. As soon as the work is finished, put the leaves aside. But not for long.

Step 9 We begin to decorate the stem. We take the Iris thread and begin to wind it tightly around the stem. To secure the end of the thread tightly to the stem, do this: apply the thread at a distance of 2 cm from the bottom of the spikelet and direct it to the lower grains. Then we begin to wind the thread very tightly onto the stem, winding the end of the thread. We wind the thread from the grains to the bottom of the stem. Apply a little glue to the bottom edge of the stem and wind the thread so that it sticks and securely fastens.

Step 10 We attach beaded leaves to the stem. We wrap them tightly with Iris thread to hide the wire, at a distance of approximately 5-7 cm from the spikelet. We wrap the second leaf a little lower on the opposite side. We fasten the end of the thread to the stem in the same way as near the spikelet. We wind the lower end of the thread with glue.

At the end, we straighten the spines and bend the leaves a little so that the spikelet looks natural.

Spikelets made of beads, added to a bouquet of wildflowers, will remind you of summer, a hot afternoon. They look great on their own - put them in a vase and they will decorate the interior of your home. So we weave -

Golden spikelets made of beads.

To work you will need:

Golden colored beads, golden wire, thick wire for the stem, floral ribbon.

Step-by-step diagram of weaving a spikelet from beads.

For one spikelet you need to weave 50-60 grains. We weave each grain separately, all grains are the same.

We measure 20 centimeters of wire from the coil and cut it off. We put 20 beads on the wire, fasten them, and squeeze the loop.

We string 10 beads and lift them to the middle of the loop.

We fix the wire between the beads, leave a tendril of 5 centimeters and cut off the excess wire.

It turned out to be one grain.

We fasten the grains into pairs - this will make it more convenient to collect them into a spikelet.

We fix one grain at the top of the stem. Next, we wrap wire in a circle to assemble a pair of grains. There are 4 pairs in each circle. We lower each next row by half a grain, in relation to the previous one.
