if you have free time and a little patience, then bead crafts will interest you. Since you can create various crafts from this material with your own hands: jewelry, decor items, embroidery, mosaics, key chains and much more. In this article, we will tell you about several options for DIY bead crafts for beginners, children and experienced craftsmen. Let's now get acquainted with our options for crafts and try to make them.

The program "Beads 2.0" for creating patterns of knitting and weaving with beads!

Anyone who wants to weave something of their own from beads or, perhaps, even create a pattern for embroidery / weaving from a photo, should try the Russian-language program "Beads 2.0"!

Here is the program's website, where all its features are described in detail: programma-biserok.ru

But in a couple of words, I'll still state.

Firstly (and this is its main purpose), with the help of "Bead" in a couple of seconds from any of your photos or pictures you can create a full-fledged embroidery / beading scheme! You no longer need to embroider other people's ideas of ornaments or according to other people's schemes - now you yourself can bring to life any of your ideas, any drawing, or even embroider a photo!

The most important thing is that after creating the scheme, the program will indicate the specific catalog numbers of the Preciosa/Gamma beads required for embroidery/weaving of this scheme. You just need to come to the store, buy the necessary beads according to the list provided by the program - and you can get down to work even today!

With "Beads" you can either create a scheme from a photo / picture, or draw your plot from scratch. The program provides the possibility of full manual editing of any scheme created "on the machine". When creating, you can choose the type of future scheme - regular or brick scheme. If you plan not to weave your work, but to embroider it on fabric, the program always provides a complete scheme for printing on fabric at the output. All as in the purchased set!

The program has an interface completely in Russian, installation of the program on a computer is carried out “in one click”, in addition, the Russian-language instruction is built into the program, and you can always ask for help from technical support on the program website (or even call them on the free number 8 -800 indicated on the site).

In general, if you once had an idea to embroider or weave something of your own with beads, I advise you to get acquainted with the Beads program.

DIY beaded birch

Now we will look at how to make a birch tree from wood, which will then serve as a decoration for your interior. Let's start the process of doing DIY crafts.

• Medium wire
• Beads green (3 shades)

3. Now we string the beads on the wire in a chaotic manner. We lower the wire into a jar of beads and string the beads with piercing movements.
4. The length of the stringed beads should be approximately 15 cm.
5. Next, 7 beads are separated from the total mass and dragged to the extreme part of the wire. With a twisting motion, close these 7 pieces with a loop, with a twisting motion. So you need to do about 5 turns.
6. In a similar way, we do with all the remaining beads on the wire, keeping a distance of about 1 cm between the loops. This will be our branch. We need about 60 of these branches.
7. From these blanks we make full-fledged branches of the tree, collecting several pieces and folding them at different levels. To do this, take 3 branches and connect them together, fastening and winding on a common wire of slightly greater thickness.
8. We cut the crepe paper into strips about 1.5 cm wide. Wrap the wire of our branch so that it looks like a tree bark. Use glue to fix.
9. So we do with all the branches.
10. Let's start building the tree. We take a thicker wire, it will serve as the basis for the tree, and fold it in half.
11. We begin to attach the branches of the tree to the wire, fixing the branches with tails. We do this in a twisting motion.
12. So we attach all the branches to the trunk.
13. We close all the branches with foil.
14. We breed putty and put it on the base for our tree.
15. Place the tree trunk in the mortar and level the mass. To fix the tree, substitute any object under it.
16. Now apply a putty solution to the trunk. Two coats are better to make it thicker.
17. When the solution has hardened, paint it with white paint. With black paint, make spots on the trunk.
18. Remove the foil and straighten the branches of our tree.
19. Glue moss onto the base for the tree so that it looks like the ground where the tree grows.
