Weaving of forget-me-nots from beads

For training we suggest you weave an forget-me-not. These are simple flowers from beads for beginners, the weaving patterns of which will be given below each description.

For work we need:

• soft white wire;
• beads are yellow, green and blue;
• nippers or scissors.

Let's start with the flowers themselves.

Cut 10 cm of white wire and thread on it first 1 yellow bead, then 5 blue. We form a flower, passing the tips of the line in turn, through 1, 2 and 3 beads of a blue hue. At the end, we pass through the yellow one, as shown in the diagram.

After making a flower, bend the ends of the line under the yellow beads and twist them. The resulting stem is wrapped in a string of green color. We make by analogy 5 such flowers.

Now platter the leaves.

In the middle of the line we put on the green beads, and on each side one more and through them crosswise cross the ends of the line - 1 and 2 rows.
3 row. On the right side we dress 3 beads and let the left pass through them.

4 row. Now we put 4 beads on the left segment and through it we pass the second.

In the 5th and 6th rows, we repeat the scheme of the third row.
We finish the 7th row by striking the right end of 2 beads and letting the left through them. Then fix the twisting of both wires and attach the resulting leaves to the flowers. Such gentle and beautiful flowers will delight you every day.

If desired, they can be inserted into a vase or improvised with a pot for houseplants.
