Easter eggs from beads

Easter eggs from beads - very beautiful andan unusual souvenir. With the proper skill to make them is not so difficult, but the result is impressive. Due to the variety of colors of beads and patterns, you can make a huge number of eggs from beads - and none of them will look like another!

Exist two common ways to make Easter eggs from beads: more simple and more complex. A simple way is to glue an egg with a thread with beads strung on it. A more complicated way is to literally whip the egg with beads, making for him a kind of beaded "cover".

To make Easter eggs, pasted with beads, you will need:

• 
  Cooked eggs or egg-shaped billets
• 
  round beads of different sizes and colors
• 
  strong thread
• 
  needle
• 
  on request - paints and ribbons (for finishing)

It is best to use as a basis not real chicken eggs, but wooden or plastic "blanks". First you need to thread beads on a string using a needle and secure it to the ends with glue. It is possible (and necessary) to alternate different colors and sizes of beads, so that the pattern will turn out.

After that thread with beads stuck on the egg. To do this, the egg needs to be greased with glue and neatlyin a spiral wound a thread on it, carefully pressing the beads, so that it stuck to the egg. It is very important to carefully watch that the beads are stuck well, otherwise the pattern will not work.

When the glue dries, you can additionally decorate the finished beaded egg with ribbons. If you want to decorate an egg complex pattern with the effect of three-dimensional drawing, then before you glue the beads to the egg,It is necessary to put a drawing on the workpiece with the help of paints. When the paint dries, you can wind the thread with beads (in this case, the beads should be transparent, and instead of the filament that can shine, it is better to take a transparent line).

If this technique seems too simple for you, you can brawn boiled eggs or wooden billets with openwork mesh of beads. The principle of weaving in this case is one, and the variety is achieved through various techniques and patterns.

First, the "belt", in width it is equal to the middle part of the egg (without the top and base). When the belt is ready, it needs to be closed, sewed into a ring and put on an egg. Then, on the egg, the upper and lower parts are intertwined.

As an example, we give two schemes of weaving Easter eggs from beads.

Most often in the manufacture of beaded eggs is used weaving technique. How the mesh is performed, you can see onscheme 1. When you add the upper and lower parts of the egg, you will need to weave in the direction from the center of the egg to its poles, while reducing the amount of beads in each circle so that the mesh closely fits the egg.

Perhaps you will find it more convenient the secondcircuit. The principle of weaving is absolutely the same: first the belt is woven in the "grid" technique, the dimensions of the mesh cells are three by three beads. The height of the belt is about half the height of the egg. When the belt becomes tightly fit the egg with strong tension, sew the first and last row of the rim (A) and put it on the egg. The top and bottom of the egg are woven in the technique of "mosaic" (B) in a circle with a gradual decrease in the number of beads.

In general, making Easter eggs from beads is not so difficult. The main thing - to show imagination, so that your souvenir was not like any other!
