French technique of weaving with beads on the example of a red flower.

Materials:
- beads-felling coral and orange - 50 g,
- green felling of two shades about 15-20gr. And 5gr.
- Round matte beads in tone to the basic green,
- a grid round on 14 holes on an external edge,
- seven beads of white color and golden beads (about a gram) on the middle of the flower,
- wire,
- fishing line,
- Floral tape,
- silk threads of green color.

Flower: on the wire we make a noose. One end of the wire is about 6-7cm, the other is 70cm.

At the short end, this will be the axis of the petal, we collect 6 beads. At the long end of the wire (when twisting the loop this end must necessarily pass from above the axial wire), we collect the beads and screw it one turn to the axis in this way: the wire from the arc lies on top of the axial, then leaves under it and returns after the revolution over the axial.

Because the leaf is pointed, while turning the wire, aim at an angle of 45 degrees. The axis while holding a straight line. Again, we collect the beads and, in parallel with the made arc, we fasten the other arc.

This time the rounding down should be round, so the wire is screwed at 90 degrees to the axis. The next two photographs again show a pointed sheet.

Note that the wire after the twist goes down parallel to the previously made arcs. And when the wire is rounded, it is twisted at a right angle to the axis. For the flower, we need to make 6 large petals with an axis of 6 beads and seven arches and 6 small petals with an axis of 6 beads and four arcs. Now let's start making the middle of the flower.

Sew seven beads on the center of the two rows to the metal net, on the second row from the edge with golden beads, sew on the arcs of 5 beads in each.

The middle is ready. Let's proceed to assembling the flower. On the outer row of holes on the grid, you need to fasten the finished petals in turn - small, large, etc. Pairs to fix them, fastening to each other. Make sure that the small petals are in front, and the big ones behind.

Leaves. On the wire we type 8 beads. From the last six we make a noose.

Get 6 more beads and make a second loop as shown in the photo. We finish our axis, gaining 5 more beads.

We collect the beads on the wire for the arc. We make an arc, braiding the figured axis, as shown in the photo.

To the top of the leaf pointed, to the bottom of the rounded. This sheet consists of four arcs of the main beads (spirit of shades) and one arc of round beads.

The extra piece of wire on top of the sheet should be cut off with wire cutters, leaving 0.5-0.7 cm. The remaining piece should be folded on the wrong side. For a flower you need to make 6 such leaves.

Of green beads, you also need to make 6 sepals. It will be pointed sheets to the top, to the bottom are rounded. On the axis is typed 3 beads, arcs four.

We return to the flower in the form in which we left it. Cut out the thick wire for the stem (30-35 cm).

Screw it to the flower for a few turns with a thin wire. Now we fasten the sepals in reverse to the flower. In order to keep everything secure, we will fasten the wire 1cm down the stem.

It is advisable to do it carefully. The spiral should be flat, so that later it does not interfere with wrapping the flower with threads.

We carefully garnish the stem with a floral green ribbon.

Each sheet is wrapped gently with threads 1.5-2 cm down. From three leaves we will collect a twig.

There will be two such twigs. We will wind the stem with threads. Sprigs are primed to the stem. The first branch will be at a distance of 6 cm from the flower, the second is 2 cm below the first.
