Necessary materials

For three branches:

• Beads pink - №10, 10 gr
• Beads green - №10, 7gr
• Beads white - №10, 1gr
• Wire green

For each twig we need to weave 2 flowers,1 bud and 4 leaves. The flower itself is made up of 5 stamens of white color, 5 pink petals and a green peduncle. Under each description are links to photo schemes.

Getting started with

So, let's get started. The first thing we need to do is flower petals. We will work on the technique of parallel weaving.

Take our wire, measure 45 cm, mark the middle and begin to weave according to the pattern on the diagram.

By analogy we do the rest.

Now cut the wire for our future buds shorter( 40cm), and in the middle string 22 beads of pink color. We make a loop and insert the end of the wire into the first bead. Next, we type 10 beads on one of the segments and output it through the upper bead of the loop. Another 10 add the bud under the petal and twist the tips.

We perform the leaves in parallel technique: the scheme 1-2-2-4( ten times) and 2-1.To do this, we need a piece of wire in 35 cm.

The cup is executed according to the following scheme:

Wire 45 cm, 6 rows of 9 beads in each. When you finish the last row, one end is passed through the 1st row again. Should get a tube. We need 9.

So, we have to weave the stamens. On the middle of 40 cm of wire string 1 white bead and twist the wire under it in 1 cm.

When all the elements are ready, we begin to collect everything together.

We twist the petals around the stamens, lay the corolla in the cup and turn the wire 7 cm apart. Pass the pieces of the petal wires through the cup and turn them all together into a tight stem.
