Three wire size options - 0.3 - 0.45 and 1 mm (for the stem);
Thread of green color;
Working scissors;
Floral ribbon.

Stages of work

Petals

To assemble one inflorescence, six petals will be required. Beautiful decoration is provided by beads of identical size. They are more evenly woven into rows. How the work is done:

A thin wire is used. It will pass through the central part of the petal. Glass beads of several shades are strung alternately. Used 7 lettuce, 5 yellow and 11 white elements;
An elongated piece of wire is taken. It will allow you to assemble the next rows. The end of the base is connected to the central part. The side arc is filled with the same shade as the base. But the number will be different: 7 yellow, 11 white and 6 lettuce elements. This row is securely connected to the base, fastened on top of the petal;
After fixing the edge of the beads are recruited for a new row. Now another order is used: 17 white, 5 yellow, 5 light green. The chain formed is securely connected to the central part at the base of the petal. On each side 5 arcs are formed. All are strung with colored glass beads. This is necessary to form a stepped composition;
To sharpen the petal, another paired row is braided. It is fixed by the thread of the previous one at about 10 beads from the tip of the petal.

This principle is used to work through the whole scheme of the lily of the beads to create the required number of petals. After that, the created petals are stitched starting from the center on the basis of the stitch "backward needle".

This is done by moving across the petal, fastening all the elements tightly together, thanks to a small piece of wire. The result is a neat stitch on the back side.

To decorate the composition, it is allowed to make buds. To do this, a couple of petals are made, between them placed a large bead. The detail is twisted along the base at the top, then at the bottom.

Stamens

To make a craft of lily of the beads has found the outlines of a real flower requires stamen and pistil. To make a stamen is necessary, a thicker wire. It is strung a few brown elements. Item is folded in half. At the junction of adding yellow glass beads. Stamen size is created according to the depth of our flower.

Pistil is formed from a piece of wire required number of light green glass beads elements. Folded and twisted in the middle to form identical curls.

Leaves

Braided by the principle of leaves. The central row is strung with 40 dark green elements glass beads. Paired rows are formed. A total of 4 pairs are needed. The fifth strip is used as an external one. It is fastened below the top level to make a pointed version of the tip. The length of the leaves is in the neighborhood of 5 cm. The colored twig is made of 7-9 leaves.

The flower is assembled. All made stamens are connected to the pistil. For which a green thread is needed.
Around the stamens with the same indentation are fixed three petals.
A new tier of petals is added. The spaces available at the lower level are used for placement. White lily flower is actually ready.
Carry out the assembly of the sprig. Applies a thick wire. Flowers are attached to it in turn. Leaves with buds are added after them.
The stem of the white lily is covered with floral ribbon. This will hide the unsightly places where all sorts of connections were made.
