Beaded Necklaces - the best spiderwork schemes for beginners and examples for masters

Earlier beading was carried away by girls of school age. Now jewelry made of beads is back in fashion. Now bracelets, necklaces, earrings, clothing brooches are found on mature women as well.

If you've never beaded before, start learning now. Especially since there is nothing complicated about it. The main thing is to master the basic techniques.

Materials

To make beaded bracelets, you will need:

Needle;
String and silk thread;
Beads;
Glass beads;
Beads of different sizes;
Accessories for jewelry;
Machine for weaving beads (needed only for advanced masters).

The "cross" technique

If you do not know how to weave beads and fishing line, start with "cross". Thread the fishing line through the beads by hand, but with a needle will be faster. To make a cross, you need:

String four beads on the fishing line;
At the extreme edge of the need to slip the second edge of the line, from one bead should go two edges of the line;
On each of the edges to thread one bead, fold the two ends of the line;
Both ends of the fishing line should go through one bead.

This pattern can be repeated to the end of the bracelet. This is how to weave the simplest version of this scheme. On the basis of the cross, many beautiful, multi-tiered schemes for various items have been created. To weave complex bracelets, it is better to master the basic pattern.

To weave the second row, you need to thread the beads and continue plaiting is not up and to the left, stringing is not 4, and 3 beads. The fourth need to pick up the previous row.

The "flower" technique

In order to get a flower, you need to dial in 5-8 beads, the number depends on the size of the beads chosen. Then pass the fishing line through all the beads, put one more for the middle and pass the line through the nearest petal to go to the next flower. For the second flower, you need to dial two fewer beads.

In this technique make single bracelets and multilevel, flowers can be one-colored or with multicolored petals. The main thing is to master the technique, and the further way will prompt taste and mood.

Between the flowers you can make transitions of smaller beads or oblong glass beads (to form stems of flowers) or weave a continuous wreath. In some cases, the bracelet looks better in the form of circles, it depends on the beads chosen.

If the bracelet is supposed to be worn by a child, it is better to weave a single-tier version, and leave a distance between the flowers (flat lines without patterns). Such a bracelet will look more elegant and better suited to a thin girl's hand.

If between the flowers on both sides to leave a thread with one row of beads, you get a weightless openwork bracelet. Thin circles are formed between the florets, giving the jewelry an elegant appearance.

The technique of "canvas"

For those who have not yet dealt with beadwork and do not know how to weave beaded necklaces, this technique seems the most difficult. With the use of "canvas" technique is possible to weave thick bracelets with a variety of patterns and inscriptions. In fact, this technique is even easier than "cross" and "flower". It is enough once to understand how it works, and then you can give space to your imagination.

In order to weave the fabric, you need to decide how wide the bracelet will be. For example, we are planning a bracelet with 10 beads. We need to dial in one more. Then we put the 11th bead in the second row, pass the fishing line through the 10th bead, and again through the 11th bead. Now you can weave the second row.

To do this, we pick up another bead, pass the fishing line through the 9th one, which is on top, and once again through a new one. Repeat until the end of the row. At the end, we do the same thing as with the 11th bead.

You can find a ready-made scheme with a pattern or word on the Internet or draw it yourself. Use colored pens and a piece of checkered paper. Weaving according to the scheme will not allow you to confuse in the performance of the pattern and greatly accelerate the process

Weaving in the "canvas" technique is also possible by using a special loom.

Braiding braiding on a loom

Technology with the use of a loom for beading is similar to weaving. Thanks to a simple device, the process of making a fabric of beads is greatly accelerated. If you weave bracelets to order, the loom will be an indispensable accessory in your work.

So how to weave bracelets from beads on a loom for beginners? First, you need to thread the fishing line to the length of the bracelet with a margin for attachment. Next, the main thread is threaded into the very first bead, and then threaded through the rest of the beads, diving between the sections of fishing line on the base.

In such a technique is good to weave wide bracelets and belts with a complex pattern, such as geometric or animal prints.

The technique of "mosaic"

"Mosaic" is similar in its performance to "canvas", but it looks more openwork and is made a little more complicated. To start weaving, an odd number of beads, for example 9, are put on a fishing line. Next do the following:

Thread the fishing line into the fifth bead of the count;
String one more bead and pass the fishing line into the sixth bead from the end;
One more bead is added and the fishing line or thread is threaded into the very first bead;
In the third row, a bead is threaded onto the fishing line and the line is threaded into the first bead that protrudes;
Further rows are braided similarly.

The braid technique

This technique is the easiest for any long-haired girl. Its essence is to weave a braid of three or more "strands" of beaded threads. Such bracelets and necklaces look laconic and expensive thanks to its simplicity.

To decorate was softer, instead of fishing line can be used silk thread or waxed cord with a small cross section for jewelry hard to weave a pattern on the wire.

To weave a bracelet braid, you need to take three or more segments of thread equal to the length of the bracelet, plus a reserve, and fasten them in a lock for the bracelet. Then on each strand you need to thread beads of a pleasant color and size.

Then you need to weave a braid out of the strands. This can be usual, flat, tiered braid (similar to women's hairstyles), it all depends on the width of the bracelet and the material used. Necklaces of glass beads mixed with small beads look very unusual.

Different ways of bracelets can be used in absolutely different ways. A simple thin bracelet with flowers or crosses will decorate the hand of a schoolgirl, a wide bracelet with a pattern "like famous brands" will complement the image of a young woman, and braided necklace of expensive beads will complete the evening image of a noble lady.
